Chapters: 1 | 2
You slammed through the double doors, practically scaring the receptionist, as you made your way towards the back. You shed what ever extra layer of clothing you had along the way and threw it on a chair inside the morgue. Your lab coat was hanging exactly where you kept it and you put it on with easy. As your assistant began to tell you the progress of the bodies reaction to the salt that was packed against the body of Harrow you heard yelling up front.
Anubis sighed and shook his head, “Get them out of here quick,” Was his only warning before he was gone.
“Go out the back door,” you said in their native tongue, and you had to force them out before the doors to the morgue were slammed open. Before you stood a man with his cap secure on his head and a menacing look on his face.
“What’s up doc?” He asked. You could tell he was not from around here from his accent but pinpointing it was of no importance to you right now.
“You are not allowed back here. Please leave,” you said trying your best to stand your ground, but the man simply laughed in your face before taking a pistol out of his jacket.
He held it up and pointed it towards you, making you freeze in place out of fear. “Oh, I think I am allowed back here. I think I am going to take over supervision of his embalming. Unless you want to try and stop me.”
He tilted his head slightly and from the look of it he almost wanted you to try. His finger kept flexing between being on the trigger and moving straight against the barrel of the gun. The action frightened you but the sudden presence behind you made things just a little bit safer.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Anubis booming voice stunned the man until you saw what looked like a bird’s head on top of a body sitting on one of the empty examination tables.
“So, my assumption was right,” The god spoke as he began to size you up. “You found your avatar after all.”
“What do you want?” Anubis moved in front of you and due to his size alone he shielded you from both the man and the god in your presence.
“I think we both want to the same thing. We want to make sure this man does not get to Ammit,” The god said it so simply as if this was just a normal day for them.
“We have the same goal yes. However, I feel you have other motives Khonshu. You and your avatar are the reason we are in this predicament in the first place. How can I trust that you two are not going to mess this up as well?” Anubis spoke with such venom that your body shook from it, but as you peaked around to look at them you could see the avatar was simply staring towards you. He waved as he noticed you finally, but Khonshu was the one who spoke.
“At least I did something about this. I cannot exactly predict the future Anubis and right now it is you and the one you chose as your avatar that can stop this,” Khonshu stood as he spoke and was in Anubis face.
You backed up slowly as you saw his eyebrow slightly raise at the gods attempt to be threatening.
“You are lucky to even be on this plane. And if it were not for me, you would not be. So, I would watch your tone. Second is your little avatar going to protect mine. Or is his alters going to interfere?” The growl shocked you but pushed yourself against the wall as much as you could until you felt yourself pulled behind a wall.
Before you could scream the avatar of Khonshu forced his hand of your mouth. You struggled but and tried to bite his hand, but he was far to strong for you.
“Fucking stop will you. Just listen to me all right?”
You blinked a few times before finally stopping your movement. There was no fighting against this man until you learned his weakness, so you simply stood there awaiting what he had to say.
“I am about to go to a place I never been, Bonita. It is going to be me, and you are out there and not those assholes. So, I need you to listen to me like a good girl and listen to me carefully. You follow my every move. You are not trained for combat,” He said looking you up and down with a disgusted look on his face, “But your knowledge is what I need to complete this mission. So, I need you to be good for me and do as I say, understood?”
You could not help but to raise your eyebrow at the man. You had to admit he had balls on him but to try this shit was another story all together. Before he knew it you were able to reach up and towards the arm holding your mouth shut and twist until the arm was behind him and pushed him face first against the wall. The smack of his body alerted the two gods still bickering at each other and they watched as you forced the bottom of your hand into his temporomandibular joint (where your lower jaw connects to your skull). You knew if you pushed hard enough you could break it, but you simply just applied pressure making him groan in pain.
“I am a veteran in the military. And I know every point in your body to drain your blood or break a bone with ease. Do not come at me with that shit because I will not hesitate to show you what I am capable of. Do you want to help? Fine but do not think you are about to make me your bitch,” You applied pressure to his arm and TMJ before finally letting him go.
He collapsed and you moved towards the freezer where Harrow was held. “How do I make his journey hell?” You asked Anubis, and you turned your head towards the gods they both smiled at you before giving you instructions.
In Duat it did not take long for Harrow to end up in the sand. He swore his scale was balanced after what he has done but not even Ammit could save him from judgement. He pushed himself up from the ground and began to walk, unsure of where he was going until his brain began to squeeze into itself before he heard her speak, “make your way here and I will be waiting. Do not worry I will make sure you get through the sand without the frost touching your skin.”
The message took his breath away and he soon collapsed to the ground below him. He gripped at the sand unsure of what to make of her statement. His job was not done and though a part of him wanted this to all end, he could not lie and say he wanted to carry out her will to the very end. Even if it meant his body and soul going through torture.
Before you knew it you and who you were introduced as Jake was trying to reverse what you did. The prayers you were instructed to say were hard to translate but Jake was able to speak it with no problem. You held on to his hand as the lights above began to flicker as he began to speak. You knew what the English translation was, so you began to whisper it under your breath along with him.
As you both spoke the grip on your hand began to get tighter and you swore you could feel the fear from him. You could not understand how you could feel it through his hands alone, but it was evident with each passing of his words. You could see his eyes were closed in concentration as both the gods stood guard as he spoke. The swirling of what felt like sand swirling around the both of you hurt your eyes, but you could still see Anubis. He simply sighed and looked down in what almost looked like defeat.
None of this was making sense to you now but as he spoke the final words you and Jake were now standing in a sea of sand around you. The swirl of sand died down and suddenly you were alone with him. You blinked your eyes before looking up at him questioning.
“Guess it worked,” he said looking around taking off his hat to dust off the sand that managed to get entangled in his hair.
Sand on you was the last thing on your mind as you started to move around noticing the surroundings immediately. “We’re in the Duat.”
“I only saw it through their eyes but yeah we are,” he said softly.
You raised your eyebrow at him before he simply just shook his head, and you knew pushing the subject would lead you nowhere now since he quickly began to stalk away from you. Quickly you followed suit trying to get him to stop.
“Jake.” You yelled but he just kept moving towards a direction.
“Jake” you said a little louder, but he made no move to acknowledge your words.
“Jake!!!” You yelled suddenly in his face. Your own quick movement scared yourself and the look of fear must have been evident on your face, because jake was quickly to grab on to your arms in attempt to ground you.
“I know where to go all right. Like I said just follow what I do all right? I know you can fight but I know where the hell I’m going. You going to be good for me or what?” His grip on your arms tightened as if the fear of letting you go would mean you disappeared before him. You blinked away the tears that fell from your eyes in attempt to wash away the sand or the overwhelming emotions overcoming your body.
How could you trust him after just meeting him? You could not understand it, but you knew you had no choice. He knew the way out, but your survival meant more to both of your survival then you realized.
“We need to get over this hill all right. Then we can camp out, I guess. I don’t know how sleep works in this place but we sure as hell can’t afford not attempting to figure it out now,” he said not breaking your eye contact, and you don’t know if it was reflex or genuine care but his hands moved up your arms and gripped your face gentle but firm in his hands. His thumbs brushed away the tears that fell from you face.
He moved until his nose was so close to yours you could smell his cologne and cigarette smoke off him. “Be my good girl yeah? I will get us out of this mess.”
Your breathing was so uneven he looked almost panicked by it, but your body betrayed your fear of the situation and simply nodded. You do not know if it was gut feeling taking control or this strange feeling of wanting to obey but you nodded once more but more firmly.
“Let’s get this over with, okay?” You finally said.
“Once it is. We will get a chance to get to know each other outside of this mess?” He suggested.
“I would like that,” Your desire towards the man that had been creeping through during all of this betrayed your fear of stepping into danger.
“I knew you would be my good girl. Let’s get the hell out of here, okay?” He said, before kissing your nose quickly. The affection was so quick it left your head spinning as he pulled your hand and almost dragged you towards the next destination on the mission.
What the hell did I just get myself into? You asked yourself.
