I was exhausted from the ride to here so I decided to stay behind and rest while Evy, Jon, Rick, and the warden went for the first dig. I sat in my tent reading and waiting. They were gone for all day and returned at sunrise. They found a sarcophagus. We were sitting around a campfire discussing it.
"What do you suppose killed him?" Evy asked.
"Did you ever see him eat?" Jon replied.
Rick walked over and sat next to evy who was next to Jonathan who was next to me. "Looks like our American friends ran into trouble too. Three of their diggers were uh...melted."
"What! How?" I asked confused.
"Salt acid. Pressurized salt acid. Some kind of Egyptian booby trap."
"Maybe this place really is cursed." Jon commented and as he did this creep wind blew that nearly put out the fire.
"Oh for goodness sake you two. Your just being superstitious." I exclaimed.
"You don't believe in curses do you?" Rick asked.
"No I don't I believe if I can see it and I can touch it than its real." I replied.
"I believe in being prepared." Rick commented then cocked his gun when he picked it up.
"Let's see what our friend the warden believed in." jon said while grabbing his bad and looking through. "Ah!" he shouted and pulling his hand out suddenly which startled Evy causing me to laugh a bit.
"What is it?" she exclaimed.
"A broken bottle." jon replied pulling it out. "Glen Livet 12 years old. Well he may have been a stinky fellow but he had good taste." he commented making Evy and I laugh then he took a swig. But we heard a horse whinny loudly close to us.
Then more horses pitched in. Rick turned around with a confused look on his face and looked towards the noise. "Take this. Stay here." he said shoving the gun into Evy's arms then taking off.
"Wait! Wait!" she called out getting up and running with Jon and I behind her.
"Didn't the man just say to stay here!" he exclaimed.
We got to the commotion and the came was under attack by the same men that attacked out boat. They were shooting people and putting tents on fire. I was running around doing my best to avoid running horses while chaos ran amuck.
In the midst of things I somehow found Jonathan. He was running from one of the men on the horses. I jumped off a ledge and onto the man knocking him onto the ground. When we stood up I had my fists ready but he pulled out a sword and his mask fell of from all the movement.
He froze in mid swing then got a confused look on his face. "Akila?" he asked. He looked just like pharaoh Seti! I glared at him. Rick came up from behind and shot the man's sword from his hand. They began fighting. Rick grabbed a piece of dynamite and ignited it causing the man to stop.
"Enough! Kalla. We will shed no more blood. But you must leave. Leave this place or die. You have one day!" he commanded before turning to me. "I will be seeing you soon my queen." he said then took off after jumping on a horse. I glared after him. So he is the pharaoh's reincarnation.
That means what Seti said was true. I had the feeling that history will be repeating itself.
They all rode off into the night leaving us all frightened and restless. I went back to my tent. Later I could here rick and evy outside. It sounded like rick was trying to teach her how to fight...and she was drunk.
I fell asleep with that man in my thoughts. How I hated him.
I awoke around noon and Rick and gang were already doing the rest of the dig. 'Why didn't they wake me up?' I thought to myself. I got up and dressed then borrowed one of the horses. I went out riding the rest of the day and came back when everyone was asleep. I truly love riding horses.
I saw Evy and Rick with a book. "What's that?" I asked.
"I believe it's the book of the dead." evy replied. I decided to stick around. She opened it and this creepy wind blew threw the camp...again.
"That happens a lot around here." I commented. Rick nodded agreeing with me. Evy began reading silently.
"What's it say." Rick asked.
She was bouncing on her knees in excitement as she began reading. "Amun Ra. Amun Dei. I speaks of night and day." she said. Then she finished the sentence. Then we heard this roar come from the dig site.
"No! You must not read from the book!" shouted the man who found it. We heard a buzzing sound in the distance. We looked to it and saw millions of crickets and grasshoppers and other bugs heading our way. We ran from them.
But strangely the bugs avoided me completely. Ignoring this I ran with the others into the dig site and following them down the paths. Rick led the way with a gun and torch. Their was a sudden earthquake that was very quick then something emerged from the ground.
Then numerous scarabs poured out of it. We screamed and ran. Rick began shooting them hoping to slow them down. We ran up this ramp type path then Jon, Evy, and Rick jumped onto these two pillars avoiding the scarabs but leaving no room for me so I jumped on this ledge just big enough for me if I leaned on the wall.
The passed by us without us getting harmed. I sighed in relief and leaned further into the wall causing some sort of switch to activate changing the wall.
Where am I?
R & R please and happy independence day!
