Fear, which suddenly appeared in the dictionary of the Medjia, reached everyone's eyes.
Ardeth: It is as I feared . . . Men! Set up the princess's tent. She will be staying with us.
Medjia 1: You are sure she is the princess?
Ardeth: Yes I am. She is the one. I can see it in her eyes. Princess, if you need anything, my tent is over there.
He pointed to the one furthest away. All the other Medjia just smiled at me and set up their tents closer to me. Ardeth was all by himself. I moved my tent right next Ardeth's tent. I took a deep breath and walked inside his tent. He was sitting on his bed; he looked as though he was deep in thought. I sat down on his bed beside him.
Alexa: Maybe I'm not the princess, maybe this is just some sort of whacked out conspiracy.
Ardeth: No, you are the princess. No one else has the guts to come in my tent. I knew you were her ever since I laid eyes on you.
Alexa: Tell me, were you or I mean Jesahotep and Nefertiry together?
Ardeth: I don't know . . . . I have dreams where they were but in the books and records it said they were just really close friends. The dreams seemed so real though, in my dream they kissed, and I could feel her lips on mine.
He looked at me, deep into my eyes.
Alexa: How old was she?
Ardeth: 17
Alexa: I'm 17 right now.
Ardeth: (smile) You are the one. You are Princess Nefertiry.
I slowly got up from the bed and began to walk out.
Ardeth: Princess!
Alexa: Yes Ardeth.
Ardeth: I will protect you from any harm that may befall you.
I smiled as I walked out. All the other Medjia just looked at me with their mouths open. I just went inside my tent.
It has been 4 days and now we are going back to Hamunaptra. Ardeth got me a new dress. He told me to go put it on.As I came out and all of the Medjia's eyes got big.
Ardeth: You look beautiful, princess. Now you need to try and levitate yourself.
Alexa: Do you actually think all her powers were transferred to me?
Ardeth: Just try and we'll see.
I slowly put my fingers to my temples. I concentrated really hard. Slowly . . . very slowly I felt a tingling sensation and heard a few gasps. I looked down and found myself levitating about 5 feet off the ground. Ardeth just smiled at me in satisfaction. We got on our horses and set off towards Hamunaptra. The place was covered in dead locusts.
Ardeth: Your vision was correct, they have awoken the creature.
A moaning sound came from behind me. Ardeth was carrying Burns, one of the Americans.
Alexa: What happened to him?
Ardeth: The creature got to him.
Burns: (muffled) He . . took . . my tongue. . . . he took my eyes.
Just then Evy, Jonathan, Rick and the other two Americans came running out of the tomb. The Medjia cocked their guns and pointed it towards them.
Ardeth: We told you to leave, you refused. Now you may have killed us all.
Two of the Medji came forward carrying Burns, and gave him to his two fellow American friends.
American1: What did you do to him!
Ardeth: We saved him! Before the creature could finish his work!
That's when Evy saw me.
Evy: Alexa!
She ran up to hug me, but the Medjia jumped in front of her.
Medjia 1: Sorry but no getting near the princess.
Alexa: Guys, it's alright this is my sister.
Medjia 2: Princess Nefertiti?
They past secrets among each other as Rick and Ardeth argued.
Ardeth: Know this . . . . he will never eat, he will never sleep, he will never stop.
And with that he and his Medjia went inside the tomb.
