Black Egypt................................*Chapter 6*...........carina

We reached our destination at just the same time the sun rose from over the sandy yellow hills. “We made perfect timing, now we can all rest, pick a spot and get cozy.” The professor said. We all at first looked at the ground beneath us, kicked the sand a little and decided it wasn’t going to hurt us. Sleeping bags were thrown out of packs, rolled out, punched a little to get it soft enough. I found a little area next to a rock of limestone. I threw out my sleeping bag, and set a flashlight right next to my side in case I awoke in darkness. The next night I woke up I saw people in kilts, robes, I figured I’m dreaming so why panic, I got up and saw empty sleeping bags. The bags were covered in the sands of Egypt. My arm was grabbed and I was forced to rise up. I was blindfolded and my arms were tied to the my back. I was pushed for what seemed like hours. I stopped, and so did whoever was pushing me along. The blindfold was taken off, I opened my eyes, beautiful gold ornaments filled the room. A table of spices to my left, and hieroglyphics covered the walls. I turned to see the men who had me by the arms. They gave me a robe, and sandals, pointed me to the room and left. I didn’t know what to do, where the others were, whether I was dreaming or not. I changed into the robe, slipped on the hard wooden sandals. The young man who I had seen in my dream the day at the pyramids walked in. He looked at me with his soft brown eyes. Smiling he took my arm. “Come with me.” I heard him say. Wait, I have heard this before. I was afraid when I heard it in my hotel room, but with him holding my hand the way he did, I felt safe. We walked until we reached a doorway with a linen sheet as a door. Two guards stood at each side. They pulled the linen open. JC, Ivan, Lindsay, Jake, and the Professor were dining. The guys in their kilts, and Lindsay in a robe like myself. “I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am Tutankhamen., King Tut.” The man holding my hand said. He smiled at me, raised my right hand to his lips and kissed it. “Let the ceremony begin!”
