Three of Swords-JJBA Part 3

Childhood

This took me forever to write. Forgive me for not updating in forever. Since school started up and I've gotten a lot more into drawing again (follow saucy.gyro on Instagram to see some Scarlet and my other OCs and crappy fanart :D) I haven't been working on this story as much as I should have. And it doesn't help that I've started writing a Steel Ball Run story...anyway! Even if I don't update for a while, I'm not giving up on this story. We've nearly reached the end. I will finish it, and I will continue the saga of my OCs with Part 4 up next. I apologize for this chapter being not as well-written as others. I've only really worked on it at 1-2 AM. But as usual, thank you for reading!

"The tomb of the famous King Tutankhamun lies in this valley." Avdol told them. They were in the city of Luxor, once known as Thebes, in the Valley of Kings. Scarlet looked around.

"So this place is pretty historical, then."

"Indeed. Apparently they are still people who dig underneath their homes in secret to the government, hoping to find treasure." Avdol continued.

"I wonder if anyone's ever gotten lucky." Scarlet said.

"Maybe." Avdol replied, looking at her.

"By the way, where did the old man go?" Jotaro asked, looking around.

"To the bathroom. He has Iggy with him, so if anything seems off, they'll notice." Avdol replied, and Scarlet looked around, just realizing that Iggy wasn't with them.

"A bathroom?" Polnareff questioned quietly.

"Indeed. Did you want to go?"

"Well, if it's a real bathroom, yes." He replied, crossing his arms. Scarlet laughed.

"You're scared of bathrooms."

As Polnareff defended himself against Scarlet's accusation, Joseph joined them, and they walked away, Joseph explaining that the bathroom didn't even have toilet paper, that there was a bucket of sand to use instead. There was also no water. The air was so dry that the poop would turn into dust.

Even Scarlet was disgusted by that.

"We could make it to Cairo in two days, but we're all injured. Why don't we spend tonight and tomorrow in Luxor to take a break?" Avdol suggested, and Scarlet nodded in agreement.

"Let's do that. Ever since we got to Egypt, the enemy Stands have been getting stronger. We've just barely been winning." Polnareff added, and Scarlet looked away, thinking about how she nearly killed Jotaro and her...death. Joseph didn't answer. He was staring at his prosthetic hand.

"Mr. Joestar? Is everything alright?"

"My prosthetic hand has been acting up. But I'm fine. Well, I'm sure the joints just need oiling or something...But yeah, I agree. We need to rest up before going to Cairo. No doubt DIO is going to throw a lot at us once we get there. Still, we can't let our guard down while we take a break." Joseph stood up, prompting the others to follow his actions.

They headed to a hotel to rest, Scarlet hoping that the next day would start with Kakyoin having caught up to them.

She hoped he was okay.

Scarlet, Jotaro and Polnareff stood outside the hotel, leaning against the wall as they waited for Joseph to come down and join them for breakfast.
