Chapter One

Eisabeth's POV

18 years agoI ran as fast as I could. The big guards were after me again. Rick was trying to steal a loaf of bread and I saw the owner eyeing him. I knew they can't hurt me as much as they could him. He's a boy and older then me. They would cut his arm off. So I grabbed an apple from the middle causing the pyramid of apples to fall. The man suddenly looked my way, yelling in arabic.

"Little girl, you damaged my apples. You must pay for those!"

I smiled as I watched Rick run with the bread loaf and I ran the other direction. I forgot my way and was encountered by a large guard with an even larger belly.

"You must be punished for your actions!" He warned and dragged me to the center of the market where out lookers watched as one guard tied my hands together and hung them over my head in a hook.

I heard the other guard who caught me practiced cracking his whip. In the corner of my eye I watched Rick being held by Ms. Areen. She tried to cover his eyes but he , i closed my eyes and waited for the whipping to end. When I opened them I saw Ms. Areen with tears in her eyes, and then the sudden realization that my back was in severe pain and i could feel my warm blood tickle down my skin.

"May this prove that you are punished for your crimes. When you become older, the punishments are worse."

Then the man untied me and I watching rick and Ms. Areen ran to catch me before I could hit the ground.

KNOCK KNOCK

I gasped awake from my nightmare to someone pounding on my front door. I found my watch to see that it was four thirty in the morning.I grabbed my robe to cover myself and ran to the door. Upon opening it I found my best friend whom I haven't seen in three years. Not since the fight in Hamunaptra.

"Rick O'Connell! Get your ass in here so I can beat you for waking me this early!" I yelled and tugged him by his collar inside my house.

I took a good look at him, his face was cleanly shaved with several small cuts. He looked nice, almost ready to explore the world. I smiled at him and gave him a big hug. He returned it and I could feel his grip tighten.

"How are you, Lisa?"

I shrugged. "Making a living, Yourself?"

His mouth stretched in a hiss and his head crooked to the side."You know me, Always getting into trouble."

I rolled my eyes. "What did you stroll this time?"

"Ahh! Not me, Some little twerp stole from me, at a ladies dance bar and then there was a big fight, and I got Arrested!" he explained and my eyes widened with shock.

"O'Connell!" I yelled at him.

"I was just looking for a good time!" he smirked at me. I playfully punched his arm and grabbed some milk and some lemon.

"So, what brings you here at my doorstep at four forty in the morning?" I asked, pouring him a cup of tea, along one for myself.

"I need someone who knows Arabic, Hebrew, and know Hirogliphics…and someone who has been to this certain location, Also someone who knows how to handle a gun. The people I'm taking have no idea how to get there and I can't go in blind." he expressed with his eyes and his pouted lips.

I giggled and shook my head and took a seat at my table.

"Those cutie looks used to work on me when I was fifteen, keep trying." I said, squeezing a lemon wedge in my cup.

" Yesterday I was on Death Row." he whispered and my heart stopped." They wrapped the rope around my neck and dropped me. I was lucky my neck didn't break or we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. The woman who paid my bail asked me to take her and her brother to this location and I just really need your help!"

I watched the sincerity in his eyes and i knew he hooked me. I wiped the small tear away before he could question me."Wow, that did it. But on one condition!" I pointed my finger at him.

"Anything, it's yours!" He smirked and stood in front of me.

"After this trip, you visit more often instead of when you need something from me." I hissed at him and he hugged me tight and spun me.

"Thank you! Thank You, and I'll promise i'll visit more. Did I mention your my best friend?" he noted and grabbed my suitcase out of the corner of the room.I picked up my tea and asked him.

"Where are we going?" As I was sipping my tea he uttered "Hamunaptra."

I spitted it out and let out a wet painful cough. "ARE YOU CRAZY?" I yelled at raised in hands like he done nothing wrong and moved into my bedroom.

"You already agree'd to come so no backing out now." he added and smiled as he began to throw my clothes in my suitcase.

"You tricked me! RICK!"

We made it to the docks and I heard an egyptian woman talk about a man.

"A Complete Scoundrel! I don't like him one Bit!"

"Anyone I know?" Rick asked and I raised my eyebrow as the woman began to stutter her greetings.

"Oh…um..Hello"

They shared a look and I cleared my throat.

"Evelyn, this is Elisabeth McGlothin. She's gonna help us on a couple of the language translations and whatever things we may run into." he introduced me.

I gripped Evelyns hand and shook it. Along with her Brother Jonathan.

"Mr. O'Connell, can you look me in the eye and guarantee this isn't some kind of film flam because if you are…"

My eyes widened in shock. The other women who ever spoke to him so was me. The determination in her eyes were strong, and powerful. I knew I was going to like her.

"You're warning me? Lady, let me put it this way. My whole group believed in this so much that without orders we marched right through Libya and into Egypt to find that city, and all we found was sand and blood." he warned and collected her suitcases and marched on the boat.

I wasn't too far behind following suit.I made my way to my quarters which Evelyn and I shared. I pulled out the pieces my gun and began assembling it. It has been years since i've used it, but with Rick as my teacher I was a great shot. Also I place my dagger in my boot incase I were to lose my gun or run out of bullets.

I walked back up to the front deck to find jonathan and a bunch of Americans playing poker.

"Well, Lookie here. What your name be, Beauty?" A blonde american asked me, placing his full hand on my hip.

I smiled and played along, dipping my chest down so he could catch the small curves of my breasts.

"What your's be Yankee?"The other men oo'd at the comeback and continued their game.

"Henderson. Your's?" he whispered and offered his hand. I took it and gripped it hard enough to crack all of the knuckles in his hand.

"Elisabeth… and if you Touch me inappropriately again, you can kiss your hand goodbye. "I released his hand and he rubbed off the pain.

"Treat me like a Lady and you'll get one." I warned. I heard Rick come walk behind me and he whispered.

"Already making friends?" he asked.

"Keeping the goons at bay. I'm turning in. Gentlemen, Good Evening." I announced and returned to my Evelyn entered the room.

I smiled and continued to place my night clothes on my bed.

"Elisabeth, I'm sorry to ask you but…" she asked, a little worry in her voice.

"Please, Call me Lisa." I asked.

"Then you may call me Evy. At least that what my brother calls me, which I find to like better as well."

"You wanted to ask me something?"

"Um… Mr. O'Connell. Are you his wife?" she asked, and a little sadness was in her eyes.I looked at her and then I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore.

"Heavens no! Never! We are just very close friends. We've been through…a lot. I love him, Yes, But not that way."

I took my clothes with me and stood behind the tall wall and began to change into my let out a sigh and sat on her bed.

"Only because…He kissed me while he was in prison, and he just confessed it out to be nothing. It wasn't even that good of a kiss anyway"

"Wait? He kissed you?" I asked, coming out from behind the wall and packed my clothes?She nodded looking for any answers I could give her. "He doesn't just kiss anyone. Sure, he's been with women, but Kissing is another level. Too personal. Don't believe a word he says. I can tell he's very interested in you." I said as I laid a hand on her shoulder.

I turned to get into bed and I heard Evelyn gasp.

I jumped and turned to see a man with a rusty hook grasp Eye's neck and pressed the hook alongside her cheek."Where is the map?" He asked.

I rushed to get the closest weapon which was my dagger and i threw it into his back. He growled and slapped his hand hard against my cheek. I was caught in a daze when I heard Rick call for Evy.

I got up, rushed Evy out as Rick shot two other were half way through the hall when Evy yelled "The Map! I forgot the map!" she began to ran back for it but Rick caught her waist and rushed her to the ship deck.

"Relax, I'm the map. It's all up here."

I rushed to try and find Jonathan. He was rushing back into our room to find his sister but instead found the man with the hook. Jonathan stumbled upon the man so hard that the man fell into the flames.

"Come on!" I yelled and pulled him out hard out of the flaming room.

I pulled him over to watch the americans shoot more men in black and Jonathan praised them. Suddenly, an explosion caused Jonathan and I to fall over the barge and into the swam over towards Evy and Rick.

"We lost everything! All of our tools, our equipment… Our clothes!" Evy whimpered and pointed to herself and I. True, we were only in night gowns. I lost my gun and daggers on that boat along with my clothes.

I heard a yell from across the river. I turned to see a skinny man yelling at Rick.

"O'Connell! Looks to me like I got all of the horses!"

Benni? That ignorant pig. Last I saw him, he left Rick and I to rot in the Desert.

"Hey Benni, looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!" Rick mimicked.

I watched Benni explore his side and he kicked the murky water in frustration.I squeezed the water from my gown and walked ahead of the group."Can this expedition get any worse?" I muttered and walked into the desert night.
