  My love. My beautiful love. Gone forever. I sobbed cradling her fragile body against my own. The others were calling my name from the giant iron box in the corner of the room. I never wanted to let her go. "Ahk! What's going on?!", Larry shouted from the iron box. "Victoria!! She's.....", I struggled with my words,"She's.....gone." I sobbed and sobbed. "What?!", Larry shouted in disbelief. After a while of sobbing and sobbing. I gently laid my beautiful love down, and situated her into a comfortable, respectful laying position, then got up and unlocked the iron box with the near by key. Everyone got out and stared shocked at my love's lifeless body. Nicky's backpack dropped with a thud, as he climbed out and looked at my love. "Oh, oh my God!!! Ahk, how did this happen?!", Larry shouted. "I could only watch, as my brother plunged a spear through her abdomen. There was nothing I could do. Now I don't know what TO do.", I emphasized my words. "Ahk, there's nothing you can do. I don't even know how we're going to tell her family.", Larry uttered nervously. "This was not my fault, Larry.", I said rather harshly. I was the truth though. My brother killed the woman I loved. We laid her on the giant table next to the iron box that everyone was trapped in. I smoothed her hair back, "I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." 


   "Ahk, we have to find your brother.", Larry said quietly. "I know.", stood up with a new found rage that was growing inside my chest. My brother was going to pay. I walked away from my love, and told her to stay out of it. I told her not to get killed. But she went against my wishes. Even my attempt at keeping her preoccupied with a dream didn't work. I knew I had caused her pain. I walked away from her and left her in my exhibit to ponder if I was upset with her. The truth was I was upset, but not at her. I was upset with my brother. He never could get past his ego. He could never just be a family with me. It made me so angry because I really thought that there could be a chance for us to be brothers again, but he messed it all up when he killed my love. I searched with Larry for my big brother with a permanent frown on my face, while the other pondered about what to do for Victoria. We finally found him, looking through the Chinese exhibit for the sands of time. "Brother.", I said in my deep angry voice,"Give me the tablet." He turned to see Larry and I prepared with spears in our hands for a fight. He grimaced, "Little brother, if you want your tablet back, then you can have it. Seriously take it. It is the sands of time that I desire now." "Why do you need of the sands of time?", I bellowed,"Are you hoping to take over the world yet again? Because we will stop you, and if you should choose to escape again, we shall stop you again. And the time after that, and the time after that." "I guess I can see why you'd be upset.", he uttered not seeming phased at all of my threat. 


  "YOU KILLED THE ONLY WOMAN I EVER LOVED!!", I yelled at him. "I know it may sound like I don't care, but......no, actually, I don't.", he uttered before throwing me the tablet and turning on his heel to leave. "Ahk,", Larry put a hand on my shoulder,"Maybe we should go back and see what we can do for Tori." My rage would have to wait for later. Even though my love was taken from me, she needed a proper burial. I turned on my heel and left, sensing a sense of urgency to get back to the others. Kah would try all his might to find the sands of time, but he would fail. Larry hid it well. As soon as I got back, I placed the tablet on Victoria's abdomen where the spear impaled her, a sense of false hope overtook me. The tablet glowed bright, but I got no response from her. Her wound healed, but she did not wake up. I checked her pulse. Nothing. Sacajawea and I would mummify her. We found all we needed for her. A beautiful jeweled sarcophagus and canonic jars for her organs. We left her brain in tact, bandaged her up, and gently placed her inside her new sarcophagus, where she would slumber enternally. Teddy, Larry, Nicky and I carried her sarcophagus up to my exhibit, and placed it right beside mine. She would stay by my side forever. Even though she might not awaken.
