OM:
"It's total myth - or was until it was found in a pharoh's tomb that was
also considered to be a myth. King Seti's son, brother to Nefertiti and
buried without a name because of the crimes committed against his sister and
land."
"This." she nodded at the artifact "Is literally the giver of life to the
undead. It's said to house the original Vampire's everlasting soul."
"Once unsealed and used, it can bring back the most ancient of the undead."
Claire swallowed "The guy that sent it to me died not even two hours after
sending it. Brady and I have been moving non stop. Whoever killed him...
he's here and after us."
She looked at Kristen "I couldn't risk mailing or sending it to you.
Whoever is after this is willing to kill anyone to get it and, well... I
don't know the first thing about packing or transporting something like
this."
"And if whoever is after this finds out me or Brady has it.. our friends
could be put in danger. We have to protect them."
NM:
Kristen reached out her hand to touch it, but stopped and pulled her hand
back to tuck her hair behind her ear. "I remember reading something about
the discovery of the tomb a while back, but nothing was mentioned about
this." She leaned closer and squinted at the inscription, recognizing only
the fact that it was written in a dead language. "I'd love to know what
that says," she murmured.
Lost in thought, Kristen gazed at the table. Realizing the fear in
Claire's voice, she looked to the other woman and gave her a lopsided smile.
"I'm not too sure about that vampire part-we've heard too many legends
that were supposed to be true, but that's all they were-legends." Frowning
slightly, "Where's Brady? If the guy who's after you two is here, then we
should make some plans." Chewing on her bottam lip, a plan for getting them
all safely away from Egypt started to form in her head. Her gaze drifted
back to the table, and the artifact sitting there. She had the unwelcome
sense that it was waiting for something or perhaps somebody.
