Chapter 4

I heard the sound of my mirror phone, I turned over and answered. "Hello?" I said groggily. I looked at the clock, 6AM?! "Hello Meister Dawn, sorry to bother you so early but I need a favor." Death replied quietly. "Of course but could you give me one minute? I'll be right back." "Sure thing" I ran to the bathroom and splashed water on my face and scrubbed with a towel, I had to get awake so I got a soda and chugged it. "Ok I'm back sorry sir I had to get awake before you explained or I would have forgotten. What do you need?" "Oh ok I understand, ok here's the deal. I set up a mission up for my son, its a level three mission and I'm worried he will get hurt. So can you monitor his mission and step in if things go bad?" "You have a son?! I never knew!" "Oh I suppose I haven't told you! HAHA! Yes He the same age as you, His name is Death The Kid he is a grim reaper like me. Anyway do you have time to help me out?" "Oh yes sir! Sorry I didn't say so before I was shocked. So what's the mission?" I asked getting back to business. "Well I'm sure you have heard of the Pyramid Of Anubis, you see there is a necromancer bringing all the mummies that were entombed in the pyramid back to life. So the first set of.." I already got it. "Mummies will create more and more. I get it so he has been sent to kill the mummies and witch?" "Exactly! But from what I have been told she is trying to revive some pharaoh so.." I finished for him. " This could get bad.." "Yup! and that's where you come in. Just make sure things go smoothly, but I would prefer if he didn't know I sent you." "Sure thing! I can keep it a secret. Leave it to me sir! Can you send the Coordinates to the cars GPS?"

After I hung up with Death, I jumped up and got dressed then I ran to the boys room. "Boys wake up I need some help, come on guys." Vlad rolled out of the bottom bunk of his bed and looked up at me. "Yes mom what is it?" "We are doing a favor for Lord Death and we have no clue when the mission will begin so we need to get ready and get to Egypt. So I need you boys to get ready and fix breakfast while I wake up the girls and get them ready." Demetri rolled over. "Ok we will wake up the sleepy swords over there and get to work. We got this you do what u gotta do." "Thanks guys I really appreciate it." I went to wake up the girls. "Wakey wakey girls we gotta get up! Angela sweetie wake up! Come on up and at em'!" Bella and Ella Scared me when I turned around they were right behind me wide awake. "What's going on mom?" "I'll explain in the car but we gotta get them ready and fed. Lord Death needs a favor. Help me wake them?" "Oh sure I know how to get up the twins but u will have to deal with Angela." Once we got everyone dressed and fed we got in the car. "Ok I'll explain on the way so who's listening?"

"We're here!" I landed the car right in front of the pyramid and got everyone out them out it away. "Ok guys, here's the plan. Everyone except Angela must be in weapon form, Angela? How good can you fly? show me please." She nodded and flew into the sky. "Try to stay low and steady I want to see how long you can stay like that!" I yelled to her. She managed it for about 15 min without messing up so that was good enough. "Ok sweetie that's good! You can stop now!" she landed in front of me. "Good ok here's what we are gonna do, I am going to try to sneak in without fighting the mummies. Angela you will follow behind me without making a sound, Fly as close to the ceiling as possible ok?" She smiled and nodded, "I'm Excited! My first mission!" "I'm glad but remember you must be quiet. Also...there's something else I need to tell you. There's a witch in there who broke a very important rule and she is a bad witch. Before this mission is over, she will have to die. So don't watch ok?" She seemed confused, "Why can't you just put her in a jail?" My eyes widened. That's a good point. I mean I know we need their souls but still... "Well she knows the rules and she shouldn't have broken them, I know its rough but its the law." She frowned and nodded. "Here, Put this on. It will protect you." I handed her a black bracelet with white skulls on it. It will hide her soul, I'm wearing one too. It will also hide my weapons souls. "Ok are you ready?" "Uh huh let's go!"

I walked guns ready through the pyramid with Angela following me. So far nothing seems to notice me, I snuck around each corner waiting for something to appear, but nothing did. When I got to the main chamber I saw the mummies, but they didn't see me. The bracelets are working. I motioned for Angela to come to me. "See that beam over there in the corner on the back wall?" She looked and nodded, "When I give u a thumbs up fly over there and sit on that beam and don't leave that spot until the missions over and I call your name ok?" "Ok Dawn I promise!" She whispered and held out her pinkie. I smiled and pinkie swore, It reminded of me when I was a child. I snuck from pillar to pillar and appeared on the left side of the pharaohs casket and leaned against the wall. "Hello Witch, Mummies." I bowed and they all looked at me. I glanced at Angela and gave a thumbs up. "Nice mummies you have made witch. Angela flew and made it to the spot, the witch growled. "What are you doing here you little meister?" "Oh nothing just enjoying the show, and checking out the architecture, don't worry I'm not here to kill you. Though I am curious about why your doing this." She grinned evilly, "You mean it isn't obvious? I want to rule the world and strike down all the witches and creatures that oppose me!" I casually walked over to her, "That's cool, I bet a lot of people wouldn't mind doing that too. Sadly I work for the people who want to stop you. But ya know what? I'd like to see how this works and plays out so ill stick around for a while. I'll be watching very closely, I hope it works out ok. Se ya!" I walked to the edge of the room and sat in the corner below Angela she was hiding well all I could see was her hand. The witch watched me confused, but eventually went back to what she was doing. She set up some kind of spell and started reading a spell book. I guess she doesn't know exactly what to do. Around 11am I was up in the rafter I guess the witch thought I left. All of a sudden the mummies ran out and I heard a noise coming from the hall. She started the spell, she had Kishin egg souls floating in a circle around her. "Ancient statue I lended the dark heart from my body so that you may live again and do my bidding! Awaken Pharaoh your master is calling you!" Her heart lit up and glowed and the souls flew up and into the pharaoh, its eyes lit up. "The wrath of the pharaoh!" A deep voice came from the casket it opened and a single red eye appeared in the darkness, and a hand wrapped in bandages came out and grabbed the witches head. "He's got me! I'm being dragged in! He's Going to eat my soul!" the doors of the casket closed and I heard a crunching sound. There was blood coming out of the eye of the casket and the pharaoh spoke again. "There is no one in this world who could ever be my master, all who enter beware! The wrath of the pharaoh!"

Soon I heard shuffling and whispering, two girls walked into the chamber. "Oh not id you see that thing move over there?!" The smallest girl screamed. And the other girl freaked out, but when the first girl started laughing she fell to the ground. "Don't do that Patti it isn't funny!" The oldest girl cried. The hand of the witch crawled over to where they were. "Oh dear! I'm Leftovers!" The brown haired girl jerked around and screamed. Just then straps of bandages shot out of the casket toward the girls and wrapped them up so they couldn't move. Since the pharaoh wasn't hurting them I stayed hidden. It wasn't long before a boy shouted "Liz, Patti?" Liz spoke up, "Kid here." the bandages were squeezing them in a dirty way and the boy started blushing and his jaw dropped. "Didn't mean to intrude!" he turned to walk away and Liz yelled. "Hey hey hey hey!" The mummy started to move and the boy turned around and spinning bandages we about to hit him the twisted his skateboard and shredded them. "What is this? You two hurry up and switch to weapon form!" "our powers don't work with us wrapped up in these bandages!" Liz cried. "What? Tornado flip!" The board spun and sliced the bandages, and the girls got free. "Okay!" Liz said followed by Patti. "Annnnnd Go!" they turned into twin pistols similar to mine only different colors. "A Pharaoh's soul huh?" I jumped down and h got hit by two fists and he fell to the ground and Liz was asking him if he was ok. I ran over to him and blocked another punch or two and he looked up at me shocked. "Stand up, u ok?" "I'm fine, but who are you?" "Hold on." I walked over to the pharaoh. "Hello your highness, I would like a moment with this boy before you kill him if you don't mind." "Very well I see you know who's in charge around here so be my guest." I bowed and walked over to the boy. "Hello My name is Dawn Of Death, I work for Lord Death. I came here to do some research and noticed the situation. I was wondering if I could battle the pharaoh instead, you see I'm one soul short and I don't like odd numbers." He looked at me funny. "Why don't you like odd numbers?" "I like balance, it bothers me when things aren't perfect." He went wide-eyed, "Sure you can take over if want...but are you sure you can do it? He is perfectly symmetrical! How could you bring yourself to fight him?" "I do what must be done, but just so you know I doubt he is symmetrical on the inside of the casket. Mummies tend to be different on each side, but when you add Kishin egg souls it makes the form change even more. Anyway thank you for allowing my to fight him. I'm truly grateful, you might wanna stand back." I bowed and smiled. They stepped back and I drew my swords and crouched into my fighting stance.
