Dalila POV

Hamunaptra, full of sand, statues, buried temples and no treasure, why on earth did we get sent out here again? It's a bloody waste of time.

Oh yeah sorry, my name is Dalila O'Connell, and if you're a girl then you'll recognise my last name from my brother Rick. We're both more or less the same, we like to fight – especially with guns and knives, I myself though like to use hand to hand combat, using myself as a body. It's more fun that way with me.

But all of us at our regiment are now behind our fortes with our weapons out waiting for the up-coming army to come that we're about to face, me stationed beside Rick and with our friend Benny.

However right at the corner of my eye I see the general ride back into the city. Coward.

"He just gets promoted" says Benny, I nod at this, then look back at the army in front of us, hearing Rick telling everyone to be ready.

"Steady! Your with me on this one right?" asks Rick without looking away from the men on horseback in front of us, knowing he's talking to Benny, he knows I'll always be by his side, I'm his sister after all, someone has to look out for the idiot,

"Oh your strengths give me strength," says Benny, I roll my eyes at this, I would bet anything he'll run for it soon.

"Ready!" shouts Rick, at this I take off the lock on my gun, and to confirm my earlier prediction I see Benny leg it back to the city, yelling for the general to wait for him.

"Steady!" shouts Rick, now seeing that the men in front are just about in range.

"Fire!" without delay I begin firing, aiming accurately and hitting my targets.

But unfortunately there are many of them, and some of us need to back away slightly, seeing that most of our men are already dead.

Rick and me continue to shoot at them fiercely, working together as the team we are,

"Still think we won't find anything out here?!" I shout to Rick over all the gun shooting,

"I meant treasure and gold, not a whole rival army!" shouts Rick, but then at the same time we run out of bullets for our shot guns, and begin using our pistols whilst running into the city,

"Benny!" I shout, pointing to where I see him about to hide in one of the chamber entrances we found, so me and Rick run to him,

"Benny! Get inside! Get inside!" shouts Rick, but then we see Benny closing the door,

"Hey! Don't you close that door! Don't you close that door!" screams Rick, but just as we get to him, he's closed the damn door,

"Basterd!" I shout, but suddenly we're being shot at again, so quickly we run for it again, being chased by a few riders until we're cornered, with a statue of Anubis in front of us, me and Rick look at one another, knowing that we're about to be killed now, so both turn around to face them, closing our eyes and our hands clasped together preparing for the end, but at least we're together.

But then we don't hear gunshots, just whining horses and what sounds like thuds, and shouts,

I slowly open my eyes to see that the riders are gone. I look to Rick to see him looking at me confused the same as me,

However then I begin to hear a whispering, almost chanting behind me, and looking where that is I only see the Anubis statue, but it sounds like the voice is coming from the statue.

We both hear a bang and turn around in time to see sand fly up at us, we quickly hurry away hearing a loud roar behind us, but neither of us stopping to look behind us.

We finally get out of the city and begin hurrying in the direction of the desert, in which we came, but after a few minutes I notice Rick stop and I look to see him looking behind us, I follow his gaze to see a group of dark clothed riders on top of a giant mound of sand above a fair way from us, just watching us.

Hastily we run away without looking back.

"You owe me a thirty Rick, told you it wouldn't be boring" I say, he looks at me with his annoyed face, but we carry on, hoping to get far away from that city and those mysterious riders.
