Trapped Alive!

Summary- A year later, during an excavation with the O'Connell family, Jonathan and Samantha get caught in a landslide which traps them in the Temple of Bast. With Samantha badly injured and unwell, father and daughter learn even more about each others lives while trying to escape.

Author's notes- In this chapter, I desided to do an idea from a plot bunny Luckyfannah gave me. The idea is Jonathan learning to fight with a sword and Samantha learning to fire with a rifle, both of them teaching each other. Also, according to this history website, the walkie-talkie object that I am giving Alex in this story was invented around this time in the story.

Reviews-

Egyptian Princess of 1290 b.c- Thanks for your review. I prefer Evy's name spelt this way. I wanted to shorten Bastest name for the story.

MartyCessna- Thanks for your review.

Lucky Fannah- Thanks for your review. My faithful reviewer. It's a good job Sam didn't in herite Jonathan's clumsy streak. Evy and Jon are the prefect siblings.

Chapter two- Training Programme.

Jonathan woke up suddenly to the sounds of metal againest metal and started to panic. He looked around the tent he was sharing with Samantha, only to find her cot empty and which caused him to panic even more.

'Oh, God. Not an ambush. Don't tell me Sam's out there fighting with them or something like that' He got up quickly, put his jacket back on and raced out the tent towards the source of the noise.

Outside, Jonathan was surprized to find there was no signs of an ambush. Everyone was sleeping peacefully in their own tents, the O'Connells in one, Ardeth in another. The sound of swords clashing was getting louder over a sand dune in front of him. Jon ran and scrambled over it and was shocked to see what was happening below.

Samantha and Alex were fighting each other, dodging this way and that. Finally Alex managed to flip his cousion on her back and held the sword at her neck. "Hey, Alex. Get off her" The cousions looked up to see Jonathan racing towards them. Alex got off Sam and she got up, brushed herself down and greeted her father.

"Hi, dad. What's the matter?" She asked, concerned. "What the bloody hell are you to doing? I heard noises, found you gone and thought we were having an ambush attack" Jon gasped out, getting his breath back from running.

"Sorry, dad. We couldn't sleep, so we agreed on doing some more training. We didn't mean to wake you up" She smiled at him, so he couldn't help but smile back. "You know, Alex is becoming quite good at this".

Her face lit up with a great idea "Dad, have you ever had any training or used a sword before?" She smiled more when he shook his head "Well, why don't I teach you now? You never know when it might come in handy, like in case of an ambush attack".

He looked away, worried about screwing it up "I don't know Sam. I'm more good with a rifle than a sword, I'm sure I'll fail" "Dad, listen to me. We'll make an agreement, shall we? If I teach you how to use a sword really well, you could teach me how use a rifle really well when we get home, how does that sound?"

He looked into her eyes and sighed "Alright Sam, you got me into a deal" She nodded her head in agreement and walked over to give him a hug. When they parted, she asked Alex to give his sword to her father. When he did, she told Jon to stand a few feet away from her, he did so.

She looked at him and saw that he was quite nervous, shaking slightly as he held onto his sword tightly. She showed a sly smile and lunged forward. Jonathan let out a small yelp of surprize and lifted his sword high, flinging Sam's sword out of her hands.

She looked surprized as he did that, but had a plan and tripped him up by kicking under his feet. Jon landed softly on his back in the sand and his daughter stood over him with his sword in her hand.

"That was good, but you need some more practise. You can't always go on lucky strikes like that because some of them might not be so lucky. Come on, let's try again" So they practise again and again and again and all those times Jonathan always landed on his back.

"You are getting better with your sword fighting skill, dad. But you need to work out any dirty tricks or other moves your enemy might try on you. One last time now" She lunged at him again and Jon managed to stay on his feet this time. They both clashed swords and defended themselves from each others moves, until Sam disided to try and kick under his feet again.

But Jonathan caught onto this trick and was prepared. When she kicked under, he leapt up into the air and dodged her legs. When he landed again, Jon used her trick againest her and she ended up on her back this time. He stood over her and a grin on his face and Sam had to laugh.

"I think he has got it now. Well done, you are a fast learner. We can practise more tomorrow night if you wish" Jonathan nodded and replied "That will be nice. I'm getting quite good at this now, aren't I? Oh well, we better get this little warrior back to bed before his parents find out about this"

He nodded over to where Alex had been watching them, and found that he was asleep. Jon picked him up in his arms and he and Sam went back to the camp.

How's this? I needed to do a chapter on Sam teaching Jonathan a new trade, shall we say? Hope you like it, if not fine. From chugirl2526.
