Little Miss Bump- Yeah, he defiantly needs treatment, and soon. Nope, there is not much he can do outside of trying to keep him calm and as comfortable as they can possibly make him. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. XD Have fun at college!

err... who am i?-Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. No, I don't think anyone is going to feel bad for him after all that he has done. Yeah, they are going to reunite soon. Eh, there is another twist coming but it's not that. Can't say anymore then that or I'll give it away. Though I will say that it is in this chapter. XD You'll probably think I'm a meanie after you read this chapter.

Pinkranger888-Yeah, the poor kid ain't doing to good. They're fine, a little dirty but fine. Yeah, they'll be back together again soon and lots more action and drama to come in the next few chapters, lots more. XD I'm glad you are looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to writing it.

foxee-chik- Of course I'll keep going. XD I'm glad you like it and good to see you back.

Digi-Girl101- XD I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, they did take it with them, wanting to be prepared for anything. Yes, she does have that and it will be used, just not on Alan.

AH! I am so sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter up! Not long after I posted the last chapter, I ended up getting sick again. (And on cookie day in choir, I was so bummed.) Then last Friday, my mom ended up getting sick and staying in bed all weekend. Not only did I have to help her, I also had to lead the choir Sunday morning at church since she was sick and that was nerve wracking. Anyway, back to the point, I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter out but I promise you the next one will be up quickly, especially with then ending this chapter has.

Chapter Twenty Five-Caught Off Guard

"Oh thank God," Evelyn muttered as the sandstorm dissolved and fell to the ground, leaving a small cloud of dust in its wake. Thankfully none of them had collided as they landed. She reached forward and shut off the engine before spitting out a mouth full of sand.

"Everyone alright?" she heard Lady Penelope ask. She heard the others say that they were fine before stating so herself before pulling off her helmet. She then set it down on the seat behind her and pulled down her goggles, letting them dangle around her neck. Evelyn stood and looked around to see that they had landed very close together and only a few feet were between John and Tin-Tin's crafts.

She spit out a bit of sand as she walked over to where John leaned against his ultra light, rinsing his mouth out with water to get rid of the sand. He spotted her as he whipped his mouth with his sleeve and smiled at her.

"So much for not being noticed," he stated as she stood beside him and leaned against his craft, watching as Tin-Tin handed a bottle of water to Fermat and Lady Penelope before walking over to them.

"I just wonder why he stopped," she said, handing a bottle of water to Evelyn before undoing the cap and taking a long drink from her own. Evelyn looked down at her bottle of water as she unscrewed the sealed lid. It was a very good question. Why did Yuja stop the sandstorm? Unless he was distracted by something or someone, he most likely would have kept it up longer then he had.

"Why do I have a feeling that Scott had something to do with it?" John asked after a few moments.

Evelyn laughed softly. "Because he probably did. I'm sure this gave him yet another excuse for wanting to punch Yuja."

"If it wasn't something that could get him killed, I'd say go for it," Lady Penelope smiled.

Evelyn smiled as she looked towards Amarna on the horizon. Now that they knew they were being followed, they would probably go as quickly as they could to reach the city before them. She heaved a sigh before drinking the last of the water in the bottle. She then pushed herself away from John's ultra light.

"Everyone look over their ultra light. If you spot something off, yell for me," she instructed before walking back towards her own craft, setting the empty bottle down on the back seat and began to check the wings for any damage.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... …

Roughly an hour and a half after the sandstorm found the group of flyers landing on the outskirts on the east side of the city, opposite of where they had seen the camels tied up on the other side, their riders nowhere in sight. Luckily after their forced landing, nothing had been damaged and they were able to take off once more with the Medjai a few minutes behind them.

Evelyn pushed the bar slightly to the right at the front wheel of the ultra light touched the ground before reaching forward and hitting the switch to turn off the engine. She pulled the bar towards her slightly and the two rear wheels touched the ground as the craft began to slow to a stop. She sat back in her seat and sighed. They had made it. Even though they had not beaten Yuja to the city, they had still made it.

As John announced that he was now on the ground, Evelyn reached forward and turned off the monitor before pulling off her helmet. She pulled the goggles up over her head as she stepped out of the ultra light before putting them inside her helmet. She glanced towards the smaller buildings near her, the same buildings she had seen when she had first visited Amarna.

As John's craft came to a stop several feet to the left of her own, she set down her helmet in the seat she had previously occupied and began to unzip her back pack. She glanced over at him as he stepped out of the ultra light and set down his helmet and goggles in the front seat. He shifted uncomfortably before walking over to her.

"Any idea where a good place to go to the bathroom would be?" he asked as he stood beside her.

Evelyn laughed, shaking her head slightly. "Try on the other side of that building," she suggested, pointing to one of the houses along the outskirts not far from them. "And I'll go shut off the gas for you."

"Thanks Evie," he smiled, hurrying off in the direction she had pointed as Fermat landed several feet behind Lady Penelope and Tin-Tin. Evelyn smiled towards the two as Lady Penelope glanced up from the monitor on her craft where she was most likely telling those back on the island that they had landed. Evelyn the looked to the north as she walked over to the rear of John's ultra light and shut off the gas, smiling as she spotted the Medjai approaching the city.

Evelyn then walked back to her own ultra light, unzipped the backpack and pulled out the Book of Amun Ra, using it's spine as a handle to carry it. She glanced up towards the ally away several yards from her craft as she walked around to turn off the gas on her own ultra light and frowned as she spotted movement in the shadows. She turned off the gas and with the Book in hand, she moved away from her ultra light and stopped several feet away from the ally. What in the world had she seen?

Just as she was about to turn away from the ally and go talk to Lady Penelope and Tin-Tin, the ultra lights disappeared from around her and the city before her turned from crumbling ruins to bustling paradise. With the Book of Amun Ra still clutched tightly in her hand, she moved forward and walked down the alley, smiling as the other people on their greeted her.

As with the first time she entered Amarna, she found the same young man that she identified as Henuttawy's older brother emerge into the ally a few yards ahead of her. Unlike the last time though, he was not smiling at her. His expression showed his relief at finding her. When he reached her, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her along behind him. Evelyn gasped at the touch. If this was a vision, why could she feel his hand around her wrist?

"Henuttawy, where have you been?" he asked, glancing back at her as they quickly walked through the crowds and towards the center of the city. Evelyn opened her mouth but closed it after a few seconds, having no idea how to reply to him.

Amun-her-khepeshef sighed in frustration as they entered the square at the center of the city. He stopped near the gates to the palace and turned around to look at her, releasing her wrist. "I've been looking for you for almost an hour. Father was about ready to send out the Medjai. Where have you been?"

"Around," she replied, reaching up and scratching the back of her neck. "What's going on anyway?"

He laughed and nodded towards something in the square behind her. "Turn around and you will find out."

Evelyn frowned at him before slowly turning around. She let out a gasp at the women before her, her face inches from her own. Meritaten grinned at her as the vision faded around them and the city was once again in ruins. "Hello Henuttawy."

"Evelyn?"

Before she could look in the direction her father's voice had come from, searing pain engulfed her as Meritaten plunged the dark knife deep into Evelyn's stomach. Meritaten smiled deviously as Evelyn glanced down at the blade in her stomach. She yelped as the blade was yanked out of her gut.

To her left, she could vaguely hear the yells of her father and brothers as she stepped back. She dropped the Book of Amun Ra to clutch her stomach. She fell to her knees, her breathing labored as she watched Meritaten grin triumphantly at the blood covered knife, the same knife that had been used to kill Henuttawy.

"Déjà vu, isn't it?" Meritaten grinned as she bent down and picked up the gleaming gold book. "The Book of Amun Ra. My, someone has been busy."

"Meritaten," Yuja called. Evelyn's eyes followed Meritaten for a few moments as she walked towards where Yuja stood a few feet to the left. However, her pain filled emerald eyes did not stay on them very long. Instead, they landed on her captured family member just beyond them.

She could make out the blurry faces of her father and brothers, her only younger brother on her father's back. She looked at their horror filled faces for several moments before her eyes closed tightly against the pain. She heard their yells as they struggled against their captors, though she could no longer make out any words. Just waves of sound. Her breaths were coming in short gasps as she fell back against the sand. The pain was overwhelming. The yells of her family began to fade away as she was left to die in the sand just outside the palace gates.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... …

All hope that Gordon had been feeling when he heard his father yell his twins name disappeared when the guard led him beside his father and he finally saw her. He watched as Meritaten plunged the blade into his twin. His heart stopped and for a moment he stopped breathing, his green eyes going wide in horror.

"EVELYN!" he screamed. Around him, heard his father and siblings do the same. He shifted and pulled, trying desperately to shake off the hands of the guards, all the while his eyes not leaving his twin who had now fallen to her knees, clutching her stomach.

"Evie?" a voice croaked to his right. Gordon glanced over to see that Alan had lifted his head and was looking around at them all, confusion in his weary blue eyes. Jeff tore his eyes away from his stabbed daughter to the blond teen on his back. He watched as Alan blinked a few times, looking in the direction Jeff had been looking moments before closing his eyes and laying his head back down, not able to make any sense of all that was going on around him.

"EVIE!" he yelled as she finally looked towards them, her own green eyes filled with pain. After a few seconds of her staring at them, she closed against the pain and he watched as she fell back to where she lie down in the sand. Gordon continued to struggle against his captor and he knew that all but his father, who carried an extremely pale Alan on his back, were doing the same.

"NO!" he yelled as he his captor began to pull him towards the doorway to the temple behind them. His feet made deep grooves in the sand as he was pulled back towards the temple. Gordon continued to struggle against the tight grip on his arms. "NO! NO! EVIE!"

He continued to struggle against his captor as he was pulled into the temple and was not longer able to see his twin. Tears streamed down his cheeks.

"EVELYN!"

His scream echoed in the entrance chamber of the temple before the echoes of sobbing filled its place.
