Chapter 10

Y/N POV

⚠️WARNING: cuss words

Song: Tìshôk' by Thomas Newman

Night came faster than I expected it to be. As I heard the sound of the crowd from the hall I was walking in, I could feel my heart racing. I didn't know why I was so nervous. All I'm doing is sitting there. I don't feel like even talking to him. I want him to hate me, to hate me more than he already does, to see me as some sort of enemy, someone who can't be trusted. He is just a random guy that I have never met. Why bother trying to put all my trust into him when all people ever do is just fuck that up. "Why do you hesitate?" I turned a bit to see Anubis through my masked face, my eyes brightly shinning white. "Excuse me?" I asked with a slight bit of confusion. "Why do you hesitate? You're at the doors. Why not open them?" I turned to look at the big doors that were in front of me that lead into the main room that everyone was in. "I'm not hesitating. I'm thinking." I said bluntly, which I received a small hum from Anubis. "Hesitation leads to failure. One wrong move, and it's over. You know this." I sighed a bit. "I know Anpu. I know...just...nothing. Don't say anything to the fools, I don't know what they do or who they snitch to once they leave this room." And with that I opened the door, only to be greeted with the bright lights of the fire around the room.

The room seemed to go silent, the quiet has never been louder. The sound of my slightly heeled boots clicked on the stone as I began to walk to the other side of the room where the council was. As I reached the other side, Osiris had cleared his throat slightly. "Good evening everyone. I'm sure you are aware as to why we are gathered here today." He paused slightly as he took around the room at the crowd of avatars. "Good. These tables have your name on the small piece of papers that are at each seat. Find your name, and await further instructions." And with that, everyone began to go to a table. I watched as everyone greeted each other once the table had both partners at either side, smiling and shaking hands as people started chatting away. "Your table is over there. Good luck." Osiris whispered. I groaned slightly as I began to walk down the steps and headed to the table Osiris had pointed to. It wasn't too far, it was more in the middle really. I sighed at the fact that all of this was really happening. Leaning slightly on the table as I waited for Marc and Steven. I didn't bother to look for him, nor did I care enough to look for him. I could sense the stares I got from the other avatars in the room as they got near me. They almost seemed scared of me. It was honestly funny to watch as they would slightly flinch when I would look at them. That was the only thing that would bring me a slight smile on my face. Knowing that people are afraid at just the presence of me, it's something I'll never get over.

        I then heard the sound of someone clearing their throat beside me. "Here we go." I thought to myself before turning my head to see the one person I didn't want to see. "Hi, I'm Marc. It's uh..it's a pleasure meeting you." He held out his hand for a hand shake but I still kept my arms crossed. "Likewise." I said a bit bluntly through my voice changer. I could just tell from the tone of his voice that the supposedly "happy" voice was just a cover up. He was pissed, just by the way his posture was I could tell he was upset at the coincidence of the one person he hated, ended up being his partner. I then looked up to see Khonshu I gave him a simple head bow. "Look, I'm just going to make this short. I don't want nothing to do with this, this isn't what I signed up for. So let's just get this shit done and we don't have to see each other ever again. Deal?" Marc spoke with some slight attitude. I had to say, he really did surprise me there, didn't expect him to crumble that quickly. I looked down at his gloved hand from his white suit before I gave him a firm handshake. "Deal." I said as I let go. "Great. Glad we're on the same page here." He then took a seat in the chair beside him, which I did as well. I didn't bother looking at him, I just looked around the room, seeing all the people smiling happily at their new teammates. I could feel the jackal ears on my head would slightly twitch as I could hear Marc whispering to himself. I only assumed he was talking to Steven. He was the only one out of these two that seemed like an interesting person to talk to. He was the brains, the one who knew all the Egyptian history. I'd have to admit, it was quite impressive. To be able to comprehend that much knowledge that you're not even apart of. "Im not letting you take over" I heard Marc whisper to himself. "How long is he really going to keep this charade up?" I thought to myself. The banging of wood on stone could be heard echoing the room, making everyone get quiet. "These will be your new teammates. We do not know how long it will take until we find the ones who are trying to resurrect Apophis, we can not promise you will be back to your homes by the end of the week or by the end of this month. In two days time, you will officially move in with your teammate and begin your search. As of now, get to know who you will be fighting with for the next hour. Food will be provided shortly." I slightly rolled my eyes. "Whats with the mask?" I turned slightly at Marc with a bit of confusion and anger. "Excuse me?" "The mask. Why don't you take it off? Everyone already did. There's no need to keep your identity a secret." I paused for a second to think of an answer. "And why do you try and hide who you truly are?" He rolled his eyes. "What do you mean." "I mean the voices Spector...or would you prefer Grant?" I tilted my head slightly to the right and saw as his eyes started to flood with fear. He grabbed my right wrist and pulled me in closer and got close to my face. "How do you know about that?" He spoke through his gritted teeth. I retracted the metal claws that were built into my suit and dug them into his forearm which caused him to his in pain. My left hand quickly grabbed his crescent on his chest and stabbed the table with the wrist that held me under it, trapping his hand in that position. "Dont. Ever. Touch me. Again. Do you understand?" I said through my gritted teeth. His bros were furrowed as he look me dead in my eyes. His breathing quicken only to slow down again. "Yes". He spoke softly. "Good. Glad we came to an agreement." I harshly let my hand go from his arm and saw as he started to slightly bleed through. I sat back into my seat and watched as he grabbed his crescent moon and place it back where it belonged. "It's my job to know these type of things Spector. Everyone has secrets, it just depends on how well you can hide them until the truth comes out. I know everything that I need to know about you." He was quiet for a moment, processing all that had happened I'm sure. All of sudden his posture changed, his eyes looked more tired and less pissed off. "Hello, hi, pleasure meeting you. My name is Steven, and I would like to apologize to my friend Marc here, he's just a bit grumpy is all." He chuckled at his own comment. I looked at him with a bit of confusion. He seemed more preppy than I remembered, but that could be because they aren't trying to save their lives from an eternal doom. "...so you're Steven?...Huh. I thought you would be similar to Marc, just smarter." He chuckled a bit at what I had said. "No, we're completely different. He's more brooding than I could be. He has one too many loose scre-" "I think that's enough of Steven for today." Marc had appeared back. The way they acted, it almost seemed as if they were brothers. "He gives you headaches often I assume." He looked at me with a slight bit of anger. "More times you can count, but I'm sure you already know that didn't you?" All I did was roll my eyes. I wasn't going to put up with his bullshit for any longer than I needed to. "See you tomorrow Spector. Try not to be a complete fuck up, but like you said, I already know that." I got up from my chair and began to head back towards the doors I came through.
