Chapter 5

First Day In The Village

The sun had peeked up over the horizon, though I was quite the heavy sleeper when it came down to it; also considering the small fact that the night before I had nearly been awake for twenty-four hours, that was bound to make anyone exhausted. Finally, by the time I begin to stir and wake up one could easily tell that it had been up for at least two hours, just by glancing at the position of the sun, but then again I also had Richard O'Connell as my father so I could only guess that maybe not everyone knew that sort of thing. The one thing I had always hated was scotching sand, and it looked as if today we had just meet for the first time; which unbeknown to me, the sun out here in combination with loose sand, made it extremely hot. I begin roll over off of my blanket, in which I could only assume that Ardeth had laid me against once I had fallen asleep. Though as I go to get up, my forearm had accidentally touching the against the sand. "Ahhhhh!! That's hot!!" I nearly scream as I jump up with a quickness that could of easily outmatched superman's. Ardeth would quickly come over and help me firmly to my feet as he worriedly checks over my forearm. "Well it looks a little red, but I think that you move quite quickly to avoid a sever burn." he told me gently as he applied a cool damp cloth. "That's great, but why does it get so freaking hotter out here, than in the city!?" I had yelled out a bit annoyed at the sand as if it was the sand's fault that it burned me. Though after I had said it I felt like such a child in that moment it caused a slight rosy pink blush to touch against my cheek. It only grew darker the moment that I heard Ardeth chuckling at me, it left me in disbelief for a moment, before I herd his voice; if there had ever been a moment I could believe in something more than I could see with my eyes it was when he spoke. "It's because the city doesn't have loose sand like the dessert does" his voice spoke out in a deep, heavily accented Arabic tone, though it had a huskiness to it as well. I though had also promised myself that I would ignore guys for a while, nor was I planning to stroke this male's ego any further, as I was sure he was quite the sought after man among women anyways.

I look at him a bit annyoed for laughing at me, "I am not even sure what you find so funny" I huffed out, though what I hadn't realized that I also had a pout against my lips. "Nothing, are you ready to continue on?' he asked me in that amazing god like made tone, which just seemed to make my annoyance face, along with the pout. "I suppose I am, so where are we going?" I ask him curiously as I had begun to pack up my blanket and pulled out a black shaw to wrap around my head, the heat was starting to get to me. After getting my things packed away, of course Mr. mysterious and handsome helped me as it seemed as if I was taking to long. Once he had helped me get settled back on the camel with Amun, sitting in my lap yawning 'good morning' he thought to me. "Amun, I am quite certain this is all just a dream and I've knocked myself silly from a fall in the shower or something" I told him as this was still just strange that I can hear my cat talk to me. Anyone sane would automatically think the same thing, I mean come on a cat that can talk, spiritual guide into the desert; at this point I begin to regret coming with this man, with the coaxing of my cat. In which spawned another question as I looked over at him as he got onto his camel, "where are we going exactly?" I asked, part of me was just curious because of my inquisitive nature, the other part was to make sure he wasn't planning on just killing me. Ardeth points over towards a ridge, I seemed to only be about a mile or two off of our current location; though of course to my eyes the entire desert just looks like one barren landscape, which made me wonder about how anyone could even find their way around in it. "Just beyond this ridge about three miles is the encampment of the village Elkna. We will trade out camels out there as well as pick up supplies for the rest of our trip." he informed me of the plan, though that wasn't exactly what I had been asking. "well that is all well and good, but what is our ultimate destination?" I asked once more, having made sure to be more clear this time.
