My name is Lilly. I'm in Egypt on a exploration with my Dad. Things are going smooth. It's really hot though. Being in a desert is a drag for the most part. Exploring tombs is fun. It's quite the adventure. It's a reminder of how the times used to be. Hard lived. It was night time almost midnight. My Dad was off with other people looking for a specific tomb. The one they call Nefertiti. The most beautiful Egyptian Queen that ever lived. I grabbed my flashlight and was exploring caves. Rooms with tombs. I began down a unknown path. It was quiet and dark. I slowly examined the walls and floor. Little black beetles scattered as i walked into a huge room. The walls had writings. Hyroglifics. Monsters littered the walls. Ugly menacing creatures. I heard a bang from the wall across from me. I backed into the wall. The wall door slid open. Trembling backwards into the darkness. I dropped my flashlight. I started shaking. "Wow a unknown room" i whispered. I picked up my flashlight and continued on. I screamed from what i saw. Bones. Human bones scattered the floor. Cages with humans inside dangling from the roof. Nothing but skeletons now. "This is freaky" i mumbled. Its like a torture chamber. I saw tables with old tools on them. Cutting devices. A errie whimper noise filled the air. A cry and plead filled my ears. "I'm hearing things now" i told myself. I trudged on and into another room. Tombs layed out. Beautiful tombs.  Gold tombs. Then i saw something that chilled my body. I shrieked. I screamed. I tried running but i was frozen. A ghost floating towards me. Bright green ghost wrapped in white linen cloth. She was beautiful. Hypnotizing. "Don't be frightened my dear i will not harm you" the ghost muttered. "Who are you?" I asked shivering. "I am Nefertiti the goddess." She replied. "Why are you here? Aren't you dead?" I asked politely. "I've been stuck in this safe room as a ghost and cannot rest yet my child. I need my amulet." She announced looking down in sadness. "Amulet? Like one of those charm necklaces?" I mumbled. "Yes, i haven't found it! It's somewhere in the room of torture my dear, but be warned the amulet is very powerful." She replied grieving. "Torture room? The room with skeletons?" I asked. "It is guarded heavily by Throck!" She said. "Throck?" I asked. "Throck the wicked. The most evil man who ever lived. He gaurds the torture room." The ghost mentioned pointing. "Please help me get it back so i can finally be put to sleep?" She asked with concern. "Where is it?" I asked in a whisper. "The body on the throne with the arrow in his chest. He who gaurds the room." The ghost said whimpering. I walked into the room. I searched with my flashlight. The throne was gold and a skeleton perched over sat upon it. Wearing old sheets as clothes. I reached into the pockets. Fumbling around i felt something. The amulet. I slowly pulled it out. "This is so disgusting and wreched" i whispered. The skeleton arm grabbed me. I screamed an ugly scream. The skeleton wouldn't let me go. It stood up. The bones cracking as it rose up. I began to run. The skeleton chased me. Bones clicking and clacking. He stopped. I had no where to run. He opened his mouth. A high pitch screech was released. Skeletons rose up all around me. I didn't know what to do. I shook all over. Scared as the skeletons grabbed me. Their boney hands gripping me tight. The leader skeleton pointed to the table. The torture table. I was set on the table. The skeletons stood obeyingly around me waiting for me to be chopped into bits. Throck the most evil man was about to chop me up. I was tied and left to die on the torture table. Throck the lead skeleton grabbed a blade on a stick. It was a huge hatchet. The sharp tip ready to splice me into human chunks. I was hollering and kicking. The amulet in my hand began to glow. It lit up bright red. I hoisted the amulet into the air. "She said it holds power!" I mumbled. The amulet grew with a red glow. Then it shot out into the air. The skeletons around me dropped to their knees. And crumbled into piles of bones. I did it i shouted. I untied my hands. I picked up my flashlight and hurried to the other room. The safe room. Nefertiti was waiting for me. Floating staring at me happily. "Congratulations young child you have freed me from this miserable place. I may now sleep peacefully." The ghost announced with happiness. The ghost vanished into her tomb. The wall door flung open allowing me to leave. I found my Dad. "Dad i found her" i told him grabbing a hold of his arm. "Found who?" He replied. "Nefertiti Dad!" I led him to the secret rooms and showed him the torture room with Throck and the skeletons. Also the safe room where Nefertitis tomb is. I'm proud if you Lilly! My Dad said hugging me. "I got to say, i need to bring you on all my explorations Lilly!" Dad said smiling. "Well it is quite the adventure" i said laughing.
