Chapter 5 part 1

Hamunaptra

Shaleigh's POV

Everyone in our group was on Rick and my asses about not sleeping for 48 hour; which we needed it or else someone was going to get shot at. We agreed to take a five minute nap, while everyone was unpacking the supplies. I lay down in a shadow of one of the pillars. I didn't sleep like I agreed to, instead I looked at the necklace the old woman gave me the day before. I traced my fingers over the pendent, flipping it over on the backside; I noticed some symbols. 'Hieroglyphics maybe' I thought, I put the necklace back down and rolling onto my side.

I watched everyone on the American side unload and yelling at their workers. Then there was Rick; slowly sneaking up on them. 'What is he doing?' He was approaching Mr. Burns' tent. He wanted till the tent was unoccupied. He swiftly went inside the tent and came out with a leather tan bundle. 'That little thief' I subconsciously laughed. I looked at my watch 3:24 A.m. 'I guess my five minute nap is over now.' I smiled as I walked back to my companions.

"Oh good you're up. We are fixing to go underground." Evy jumped up with pure glee as she cleaned an ancient mirror. I nodded; I was also excited to see what we would find underground. Rick was finishing tightening the rope which he kept hitting the warden with. He grabbed the tan leather bundle that he had stolen from earlier, and handed it to Evy.

"Here, it's something I borrowed off our American brethren." He told her, "So you don't have to work just with your hands hopefully this would help." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. I elbowed him in the side and gave him the "Borrowed my ass" look. "What are you looking at he told me, I just stuck out my tongue out at him. I looked around to find Tamaryn was missing in action as well as her man.

"Hey where's Tamaryn and Donovan at?" I asked Rick and Evy.

"Tamaryn went to get water for us and the camels," Rick pointed towards the river not too far off from the city, "and Donovan went to talk to the Americans." He then pointed to the other group. "I told them that if we are not her or around; to climb down underneath the city." Rick said as he helped Evy down the rope.

Donovan's POV

I looked around the American's camp that was way larger than our seven men one. The men among their group where drinking some beers as the Arabian men did all of the work. Mr. Henderson walked up to me with Dr. Chamberlain.

"Do y'all know something we don't?" He asked me as he watched over our group begin to go underground. I wasn't the one to spill secrets no one in our group, except Jonathan and the warden.

"They were led by women. What do women know?" He scoffed, this was really was pissing me off. Not only did he offend me and Rick, but being rude about my woman that's where I draw the line.

"The women in blue and purple are not just mere women they fought in a war here in this city, so treat them with respect. Thank god that they didn't hear your comment or they would beat you till all was left of you was dirt. You can go ask Beni on how those two women can be." An evil smile formed on my face.

"Women fighting in a war, never heard of such a thing" The doctor crossed his arm over his chest as made his sexist comment.

Apparently he wasn't going to take back his comment; so I left their group. About halfway there I was being chased by Tamaryn caring canteens, I slowed my pace and allowed her to accompany me to our friends underground.

Undergrounds of Hamunaptra

Shaleigh's POV

"What is that god awful smell?" Jonathan said as his feet reached the floor underneath the city. Jonathan looked up and noticed that the warden was on top of him and was the source of the stench.
