Here is the next chapter. I apologize for taking so long. I had surgery and then my pet had surgery. We're both doing fine and again sorry for the delay. Thank you all who review the last chapter and to those who have been patient.
Chapter 12
Chosen
"Thanks for coming down to spend time with us today, Tea." Serenity said.
Tea, Mai, and Serenity took a walk down the busy market street together. Mai and Serenity had dropped by the hotel where Tea was staying and what room she was in thanks to Kaiba. After persuading all right a lot of persuading Tea finally agreed to spend time shopping with the girls.
"Thanks for inviting me." Tea said.
"Hey we girls have to stay together. Besides it's been awhile since we hang out without the whole entire gang." Mai said, stopping at a table that had some jewelry.
This of course made Tea and Serenity stopped too.
"Tenth stopped for jewelry." Serenity said.
"This will be the last one." Mai said.
"That's what you said about the last one." Serenity said.
"This time for sure." Mai said.
The seller began to speak with Mai about the jewelry and how each of them was made and what went with her eyes. No doubt the most expensive one. Tea smiled and shook her head.
"This could take awhile." Serenity said.
"Don't they always." Tea said.
Serenity gave a soft giggled. Before she could say something her cell phone interrupted her.
"I have to take this." Serenity said.
"Go ahead." Tea said.
"Thanks." Serenity answered, taking her phone out.
Tea turned around to look at nearby tables that weren't to far from her friends. She walked where she saw a small crowd gathered to watch a show. A man stood in front of everyone speaking in a language Tea didn't understand. She backed away only to bump into someone.
"I'm so sorry." Tea said, turning around.
She had bumped into a woman who looked a little bit older than her. She had short black hair. Her skin was unnaturally pale, but she was very beautiful. There was no doubt in Tea's mind that she would have no problem with getting any guy she wanted.
The woman gave a small smile.
"It's alright." The woman said.
She bent down to pick up the stuff she dropped. Tea bent down to help her. She then picked up a small light teal Egyptian eye crystal. The crystal began to glow and Tea felt drawn to it. She shook her head and handed it back to the woman.
"Here." Tea said.
The woman took the crystal and her eyes widen. She looked up at Tea and backed down at the necklace.
"Will you please come with me?" The lady asked.
"I'm sorry I can't I'm hanging with my friends and-
"It'll only be a minute and I need your help with the packages you made me dropped." The woman said.
"How far is it? Because my friends and I are in the middle of shopping and I don't want them to worry."
"It's right there." The woman said, pointing straight to the small building.
Tea looked where the lady pointed and nodded.
"Okay, but I need be back with my friends soon." Tea said.
"It'll be quick I promise." The woman said.
The woman grabbed Tea's hand and pulled her to her little tent. She gestured for Tea to take a seat on the pillow. Tea took a seat while the woman took a seat across from her.
"My name is Nile." Nile said.
"Tea." Tea replied.
"It's been awhile since I've had visitors. Can I offer you something?" Nile offered.
"No thanks I'm fine thank you." Tea replied.
Nile got up to get a small brown teapot and a cup. She poured some tea in her cup and took a sip of it.
"Mmmm…Tea is good for you. It helps strengthen your strength." Nile said.
"Ummm…I think I should go. My friends are probably looking for me." Tea said, getting ready to get up.
"Slow down. Slow down. This will be real quick. I was just like you when I was your age." Nile said.
"Can you please be quick then my friends are probably looking for me." Tea said.
"Oh from the looks of it they will still be out there not knowing you wonder off." Said Nile.
She took out the small crystal necklace that Tea had picked up.
"For generations my family kept this necklace in safe keeping until someone was called to wear this precious jewel. Now the time has come." Nile said.
"That's nice I supposed." Tea answered, looking more and more anxious to leave.
"Hmm…the one destined to wear this is said to fight against another powerful force and defeat this enemy of mankind." Nile continued.
"That's a nice story, but I should really-
"The stolen Millennium items were just the beginning to that great evil and this mission you were put on is only your destiny." Nile continued, a little louder this time.
"I have no idea what your saying." Tea answered, trying to stay calm.
Nile gave Tea a small smile.
"I believe you do, but you are here for a reason and now that I found you I can give you this." Nile said, placing the necklace in Tea's open hands.
Tea looked down at the necklace and felt its warmth and saw it glow once again.
"I can't take this." Tea said, breaking from her trance.
She looked up at Nile, who was smiling.
"You must for the sake of the world. Your friend the pharaoh is not the only important one meant to save the world." Nile said, getting up and walking to the tent entrance.
Tea's eyes widen at the name pharaoh. Tea got up and followed behind Nile.
"How do you know? Are you some sort of fortune teller?" Tea questioned.
"Fortune teller? Oh no. I'm just a guide." Nile said, leaving her tent.
Tea opened the front of the tent to find Nile gone. She let go both ways for her only to find Mai and Serenity still where she left them. Tea finally gave up the search for Nile and looked down in her hands. The necklace still glowed in her hand.
This mission is starting to become like the old days. Tea thought, shaking her head.
"Questioned is who was that woman and how did she know-
"Tea! Over here!" Serenity waved her over.
I'll figure it out later. Tea thought.
She placed the necklace that was in her hand in her pocket and walked over towards Serenity and Mai.
That's all for this chapter. Please review and I'll try to update soon.
