The Cup of Anubis

Chapter 1

I ran around the dark forests' spruce trees. I knew I shouldn't be here. In fact, I wasn't ready to be here. As the time passed, my legs grew heavier, I couldn't carry them anymore. I began slowing down to sit. I take a seat on the cold dry floor, laying my back on a tree. I take a look at my silver locket that I've had ever since my father died. I look at myself, thinking, how can I survive with nothing but a locket, a belt, that consisted of nothing but a little water bottle, a cat-looking lighter, a red pocket knife and a bag that had 2 sandwiches. I think harder and harder as my head begins to ache. I can not remember, I think to myself. My eyes started to shut, my head starts to lean to my left shoulder, I pick it back up, and it leans again. It got heavier every time I picked it up. Until I couldn't anymore, I was asleep.

The sun ray shone bright into my eyes, waking me up. I get on my feet, start stretching, and drink water from my water bottle. I continue leading myself into the forest till I found a huge plain. It was a green plain that was filled with grass and flowers. The plain looked like it was guarded by 10 mountains, all these mountains surrounded the huge plain. I walk in between the 2 mountains to get through it. Each mountain had a little line that went right in the middle of it, this line was carved into the mountain, and into the floor leading its way to the next mountain, which made all the mountains connect. As soon as I set foot into the plain-which started after the carved line- I see the plain turning into a desert, making all mountains turn into big yellow pyramids.

"Is this a joke?" I say out loud. "What's happening? Someone please help me!" I start to shiver.

All of a sudden, everything goes back to normal. The grass was back, the flowers were back, and the mountains were back. I am just hallucinating, I think to myself. I might be just hungry. I search my bag for a sandwich. I pull the sandwich out and I begin to eat it, as I move to the rocky mountain on my right side.

I move closer and closer to the mountain, It wasn't an ordinary mountain. This mountain had stairs that lead to a huge entrance on the top of the mountain. I move closer and closer to the entrance. Without even realizing, I was right in front of the entrance.

As I step in, I see nothing. I take out my cat looking lighter that I had, turning it on. It was I thought it was, skulls were lying everywhere across the floor. The yellow walls were covered in blood.

I start shouting, thinking Im going to be one of the skulls lying there. I quickly turn around, running to the entrance, to exit the cave. But it was too late. The door shut on me.

"Help!" I shout. I kept on screaming as hard as I can, while my throat felt a burn. I start to bang the entrance very hard.

"Who's there?" A voice shouts behind me.

I turn around, looking at a brunette, that was wearing a dirty, navy blue shirt. She had a belt that went from her right shoulder, to her left hip.

"Hey," I say taking a breath. "I was trying to walk out of this mess," I look at my shoes. "so, I came to this mountain. But now it got worse."

"Anyways," she says lending me her right hand. "Im Linda!"

I lend my hand out until it meets hers. "James."

"We have been stuck here for two days!" Linda cries

"Wait, who's we?"

"Come on, let me show you through." Linda whispers, as she looks at me in the eyes. "this cave is filled with many puzzles," She stops stretching her arm across of me. And all of a sudden a big silver axe, that was covered in dried blood, swings from one side to the other. "One wrong step," she continues "you're dead."
