All I could see was an infinite sea of darkness leading to nothingness. I had lost all interest in seeking the treasure.
" The bearer shall burn... " What is this exactly? I guess we will have to wait for it.

Rebecca took out torches for all of us.
12Please respect copyright.PENANABq6PBTvCza
"Go on walk ahead, you know the way." Rebecca commanded
12Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZnKOBmiO
"M...m...me ? Questionable choice, don't you think...??" I quivered.
12Please respect copyright.PENANArr7eCtVyUp
She again took out her gun,pointing at my face"You do know about the keys do you? Did I forget to say? I HATE LIES"
12Please respect copyright.PENANAg8od0X7XrY
"Yes yes I do know. And for god sake lady don't use that gun!!" I answered in the hope of seeing day light once again.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAdBF5O8576h
She looked really vexed
12Please respect copyright.PENANADBKdpQb31H
"Please?" realising she doesn't listen to her conscious mind when enraged.

As we moved forward, I had a pile of questions making me awfully anxious. I felt the deep pain of knowing nothing right in my mind. My heart already felt like it trusted Louisa in this odd way I never really felt with anyone else but.... Is she worth it?? What if she outsmarts me and secretly joins her sister. Blood is thicker than water after all...
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnKyeogM31M
Brushing these thoughts aside I kept walking ahead , both Louisa and Rebecca following me. As we moved the alley kept getting narrower and narrower. I looked at the walls trying to figure where exactly we were in this trap house.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAfQfolZ29s9
"Ladies, you see this symbol ?? What does thi-"
12Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ4NNYX5xI
I turned back and they were gone. Did they leave me here to perish??
12Please respect copyright.PENANAdw5r4DuHfB
"Hello?? LOUISAAA!! R...REBECCA?!.... GUYS !!?
This is not funny please?" All I heard was silence,
My voice echoed along the long alley.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAD3YqQSIWFJ
Hoping at least to find a way ahead I turned in order to walk ahead. As I turned I gasped to see Anubis right in front of me. I shrieked and fell back. The God was right there staring right through my soul..... I heard a wall break behind me and felt this was the end. I just closed my eyes trying to live the last few minutes of my life... My parents, my home , Louisa ...ohh what a beauty she was truly. The day I had the honour to have my eyes upon her, it felt like viewing heaven while living in hell. So elegant yet tempting...those eyes that mole ... The mole? Wait a minute Rebecca didn't have that mole....

Suddenly I felt an arm pulling me behind, I screamed trying to fight it,I kept moving my legs frantically in the hope to loosen the grip
12Please respect copyright.PENANAhsj7O1hE6V
"SHUT UP MURAT!! ITS ME LOUISA"
12Please respect copyright.PENANA9przzegYSb
"ANUBIS , ITS ALIVE!! RIGHT THERE !! WE HAVE TO LEAVE THIS PLACE " I pointed towards the path where I saw the dark figure.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA2mNnYYNljW
"Ohh come on, it's a statue Murat. We have found another way to the first key. Get on your feet now."
I took a sigh of relief and hope. We crossed a broken wall , the sound of which convinced me to accept my death. The room finally had some light in it. Rebecca was fidgeting with the artefacts in the room. But there it was , the statue of AMENHOTEP. The key is believed to be somewhere in this room. There were mirrors which needed to be placed at the right angle in order to focus the light on the key.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAMPinl161XX
" There are five mirrors. I will position two of them. Louisa you assemble the other two. Rebecca,point the final one. All must be done at the same time, if we miss even by a single moment , this statue will crumble into dust along with the key."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAMoNx2xRqUO
"Please Rebecca ?" Louisa pleaded. Rebecca reluctantly went, keeping an eye on me.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAEP240bqmaQ
"Now everyone, turn each mirror 45 degrees upwards on my count of 3."
12Please respect copyright.PENANApGhCl1WxD6
1...2...3. we all turned the mirror simultaneously and the light did fall on the statue. There it was, the silver key illuminated via the light right at the centre of the statue.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA4ezsOZ5ES3
Me and Louisa smiled as we looked at each other. Rebecca climbed up on the pedestal and pulled the key out.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAiOelQR4YLj
"Did I mention we need to replace it with something of similar weight and size?" I asked looking towards Louisa
12Please respect copyright.PENANAf9u039DHuE
She looked at me in a shock " NO!!? "
12Please respect copyright.PENANAe2yRMGKKE1
"Oops ...?" Rebecca said as she stepped down "So now what happens?"
12Please respect copyright.PENANA8hYiH2DK6c
Just then we felt our feet getting wet. Louisa took some of the liquid in her hand
12Please respect copyright.PENANA7khCDe4j39
"It's just water ??" She questioned suprisingly. Just as she held the liquid for a few second
"Aaa why does this burn my hand!!?"
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnHi8gXQX5D
"Oh boy" we looked at each other in fear.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAAcY0jLkHQ8
The bearer shall burn.....
