On The Jet After They Returned From Greece
"I can control my fire power so we can burn him or we can take his life away" Tanya said
"He's not really alive" Evie said
"Still" Alex said "That is an awesome idea"
"Yes but what if she burnt down the whole pyramid" Rick said "Wait, that's a good idea"
"I know right" Tanya said
"But what about all the treasure?" Johnny asked
"It's always about the treasure isn't it?" Tan ya asked
"How about we go to somewhere where there are no UN dead things and excavate stuff from there"
"That's a good idea" Johnny said
"So I can burn down the pyramid" Tanya said
"Yes but how will we explain it?" Evie asked
"We say that a torch bracket set a spider web on fire cos it's stuffed with them"
"Actually that's not a bad idea after all" Evie said softly
"And you'd best get some sleep you look like death" Ardeth said and then fainted
She saw Osiris and Isis along with Sekhmet gazing at her
"My lord and ladies" she whispered
They smiled and said
"You have sacrificed most of you're life so we award you with a gift of our appreciation" Isis said and handed her a small box
She opened it and saw a beautiful Egyptian gold necklace with a huge diamond in the form of a tear drop hanging on it with something drawn on it with molten gold
"It will protect you too" Sekhmet said after waving her hand over it
The real world
"She's with them" Evie said and Ardeth laid her on a seat
"How do you know?" Alex asked
"Her face" she replied
"Yes, it look's almost-" he started but couldn't finish the sentence
"Is she going to die?" Rick asked
"No" Ardeth replied
With Tanya
She opened her mouth to say something but instead returned to the real world
She woke up to see the face of Evie looking concerned
She sat up saying
"What happened?"
"You went to them" she said
"So that was real" she said and then felt something heavy on her neck
She looked at it and saw the necklace
"It's real" She said
"Wow" Evie said looking at it "Can I see it?"
Tanya nodded and took it off and handed it to Evie who peered at the gold
"The crest of the chosen one" she said and handed it back to Tanya who slid it back on and said
"Death comes softly on a chariot of wings"
They stared at her and she said
"Osiris told me to say that, Isis told me to say `my chosen hero comes loudly on clay stones` and Sekhmet told me to say `Fire and earth melts to peace`"
"Those are some very special incantations" Ardeth said
"I know" She said gazing out of the window
"Hey isn't that the disc of Iris?" she said dreamily
They looked out the window
"Yes" Evie said and then said
"I think we all need to sleep" Rick said
"Alex, stay with Tanya" Evie ordered
"But-" they started
"No buts" she said
They sighed and sat down
Tanya next to the window and Alex in the middle aisle while the adults went to the back and while everyone was asleep she gazed at the stars thinking about Josh
Alex woke up and saw her
Her figure was lit by moonlight and stars shined down on her as if the gods favoured her
"Do you ever sleep?" Alex asked
She looked at him
"No" she said after a while
The Moon had began to set
They watched it disappear into the pink horizon and the sun rising
Tanya then looked at her I phone
She had an incoming text
It was from Josh
She beamed and opened it
"Sis" it said "I'm in the pyramid and there's that weird guy who keeps checking up on me, you know with the blonde hair and hurry up in coming you're taking forever"
She texted back
"We've just come back from Greece with a new weapon and plus we're gonna come"
There was a bump as the plane landed on tarmac and then they got out and went back to the hotel to book some rooms
They entered it and Tanya turned and asked
"Will it work?"
"Yes" Ardeth said
Tanya got it out of her suitcase
It was a bracelet much like the scorpion kings but it was plain gold
She put it on and got out her gun and its bullets and returned to the living room where the others where re- loading their guns
"Ready?"
"Ready" they replied standing up
