Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Jamech ❯ chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8- Revelation

The wind was raging, and the waves high. Water cascaded over the sides of the ships, pounding the sailors into the deck. Orders could be heard, and people seen running around, pulling up the sails and securing them. The captain tried to keep control of the boat, but little could be done. They were caught in the aftermath of a hurricane which had hit the area only two days before. The icy waters of the pacific stung the eyes of the boats occupants. The sailors struggled to do all they could to keep the ship afloat. A loud crack was heard as the starboard side of the ship ran into a rock, ripping a huge hole in the boat. A family of three could be seen, struggling to lower the life boat. Within a matter of minutes they did, and they were on the surging sea. They man was giving it all he had to row to a nearby island, barely visible through the rain. As they approached the island, slowly, a huge wave rose up. It pulled them back into the ocean, as it's height grew. Then, without warning the large wave came cascading down on the lifeboat, ripping it to pieces. The young woman that was in the lifeboat, was the soul who survived this tragedy. She was knocked unconscious, and had been washed to shore, by that large wave along with the bodies of her parents......

"An'nu! An'nu snap out of it!" The black cat said, whom the girl had learned was named Luna.

The trio were sitting on her bed now, and had so been for the past two hours. When she had met them, they had told her something so shocking, it almost made her faint. They had told her to go to her room and dress herself, which she did in a blind fashion. She was in a sort of trance, for a while. When she had learned that she was Sailor Egypt, and that the fate of the world rested almost entirely on her shoulders, and it was up to her to save it. It changed her, dramatically.
Now she sat there, and had flash backs of when her parents died, and how. IT was a tragic night, not so long ago. It was another major event that had turned her from spoiled brat to responsible adult in the matter of hours. She considered herself an adult now, since she provided for herself and her horse. And also took care of her home, and everything else, including education. She was a girl with an attitude, which helped her get this far on her own. She never took no for an answer, and always fought her way to the top. But some things could and would make her and break her..

Jamech took a deep breath as he descended those large stairs once more. There was no light here, just how he liked it. He was in deep thought, and his ideas revolved around how he was to tell the one being he feared, what he felt. He knew it could result in complete and utter disaster, but he knew he had to get it out. There was always the 'if' factor with things. And this thing was no different. 'What if he doesn't do anything?' he inquired himself. 'What if he lets me be with her?' Thoughts the same as such echoed in his mind, until he reached Anubis's chamber. He pushed back the large boulder which sealed the opening to it. He paused for a moment, as he stared into the darkness. Water dripped in the distance, and rats scurried around, looking for food and a safe haven from the strange creature within.

Jamech walked down the dark corridor. He could smell death, and such. Well, being the vampire he was, he could always smell death. That was his advantage over other beings. Being able to sense things such as death and life.

"Ahh, here he is now! My right hand man! Jamech! Come meet my fellow accomplices. They are here to help us destroy Earth!" Anubis was in a strange mood. He never said anything in a light-hearted manner. Ever. Jamech approached wearily.

"These are the evil ones I had created so many millennia ago. We have come to the conclusion that we are going to destroy Earth in a matter of days." Anubis laughed heartily. IT became apparent to Jamech that Anubis was gung-ho about these kind of things. After all being the God of the underworld and death, he couldn't wait for people and things to die.

Jamech eyed the other Gods. Strange creatures, with the body of man and the head of an animal. Jamech could feel the malice and hatred in the room. Most of the others did not approve of vampires, but he was worried about more important things.

"Well Jamech, I hope you said your good-byes to that pathetic human girl. She will die with the rest of the world! Soon enough!"

"Actually Anubis. I love her. And I won't let you harm her. I've come here to tell you that, and also I am leaving here, never to return. I will help her and the fellow sailor scouts win the battle. Who has the last laugh now?" Jamech regained his normal appeal. He smirked evily, as he watched the look on the jackal's face.

Jamech, after saying that, turned around and walked down the corridor. At the end, he turned back and could hear Anubis coming after him. Jamech laughed, and teleported himself back to An'nu's home. He knew what he had to do now, before it was to late.

An'nu looked at the two cats, no look of shock nor non- understanding. She thought about what they had told her. She stood up, and went to stand in front of her full length mirror. She stared in it, and it stared back. She ran a hand through her hair as she sighed deeply. She started to feel emotions all at once, slowly coming on at first, then flooding her thoughts. She concluded this one thing. She loved Jamech. Though he was a vampire, and she a Sailor Scout. She no longer cared. It was what she feared, yet anticipated since the day she met him. The ultimate good, and the ultimate evil were in love.

"An'nu, please take this item. It's a transforming pen." Artemis sad, as they both watched her.
She took the pen as commanded, and held it in her palm. She examined it, and ran her fingers over it. The base was gold, with a globe on top. It was Earth no doubt. The globe was blue all over, which represented the water on the planet. And instead off all the continents, there was only once piece of land depicted. It was Egypt. It was ancient Egypt to be precise. There were two rings around earth, together forming an X.
"An'nu, repeat after me, please just trust me." Said Luna as she jumped off the bed and onto the floor next to the slender girl, with the deep tan.
"Egyptian...Prism....Power!" Said the cat, as looked up at the girl, who'd turn from the mirror.
"Egyptian....Prism...Power!" Exclaimed An'nu aloud.

A golden light engulfed her, as her hair flew straight up in a gust of wind. Her normal clothes were stripped away and replaced with a sailor suit. The leotard part was white, like any other. The skirt was gold and the ridge at the top of the skirt, which formed a downward-point a few inches bellow her belly button, had an onyx stone in the middle of it. Her tiara also had an onyx in it, and on either side of the onyx of her tiara, was a risen imprint of the Pharaoh Eye. Her eyes had black eyeliner, fashioned in the same way the ancient pharaohs wore. Starting at the point of her eyes near her nose, going above the eyelashes on her upper eyelids, and downwards; stretching a half inch away from her eye.
Her shoes were knee high boots, like Sailor Moon's except the point faced down her leg, not towards her knee. The boots were gold, and the point at the top of them had a thick stripe of black.

"So this is my true form, Luna? I am a Sailor Scout?" An'nu questioned as she turned and examined herself in the mirror.
"Yes, it is. You are Sailor Egypt, you are the one who will lead the other Sailor Scouts to victory."
"There are others like me? That's a little more comforting, but where should I find them?" An'nu asked, as she sat on her bed.
"They are in the Palace in Neo Tokyo. You must go there, and get the others. The Great Battle is any day now. Take your horse, he knows the way. We showed him...."
Luna concluded herself by jumping out An'nu's open bedroom window, onto the roof along with Artemis. They then ran to a low point on the roof, jumped to the ground and disappeared into the woods.

'Well that's just great. I have to find this place all by myself. I'm miles from Neo Tokyo! And to top it off, I am in love with a vampire, who tried to kill me!" She sighed, as she stood up.
'I guess I should go now.." She said, somewhat unsure of herself. She walked out of her room, and to the top of the stairs. She untransformed, as Luna had also showed her, and ran down the stairs. She reached the kitchen door, which leads to the backyard path toward the barn.

She ran down the path to the barn, where she stopped in front of Bye's stall. A clock in the tack room across the hall showed 12:30 p.m. It was noon, and Bye had been in his stall all day. She sighed as she rubbed his nose, then went into the tack room and grabbed his English tack. She then set the saddle upon a saddle rack outside his stall, and pulled open the stall door. She walked in and put his bridle on. She didn't even bother with grooming him, she just simply brushed some dirt off his back, where the saddle went, and began to put the saddle on. She started adjusting the position of the saddle, when a shadow appeared on the ground next to her. She jumped, and spun 'round. It was Jamech.

"What are you doing here!" She exclaimed, as she stared him in his cold, expressionless eyes.
"I came to see you, why else you pathetic mortal!" He retorted. The same old fire, he still had; in love or not.

"Whatever, I've got things to do, leave this place!" She replied coldly, as she turned and began doing up the girth.
They stood there in silence, as she finished fixing the girth. Once done, she just stood there with her back to him, her hands resting on the saddle, and her head hung low. She was breathing heavily, and her heart raced. She was nervous, and though she wished him gone verbally, she wanted him to stay.

"Why is it, you wish me gone An'nu. Your mouth wishes to spew words of hate and malice, yet your heart wills me to stay here with you. What is it An'nu? Shall I stay or shall I go?" Jamech finished his statement, and walked towards her. He could read her thoughts, and knew her answer before she voiced it. He stood only inches from her back, and wrapped his long arms around her thin waist.
"I don't want you to leave me Jamech." She sighed. It was now or never, to tell how she really felt deep inside her cold and frozen heart.
"I...well....ever since the day of our estranged meeting, and kiss, I can't stop thinking of you. You're in my thoughts, and in my dreams. Your presence lingers here, and I wish it to leave me. Yet again, I want you hear. You intrigue me, and you cause every fiber of my being to yearn for you. I can't sleep, I can't eat...Jamech, I love you."

Jamech just simply stood their, listening to her proclamation of love to him. A small yet warm smile formed on his face. He knew deep in his soul, that this love could very well be the death of him. He sighed, and turned her to face him. He ran a long, pale finger along her soft cheek, and laughed softly and almost inaudibly to himself.
"I love you too..." He sealed his outward thought with a kiss.

An'nu pulled away from him and led her horse out of his stall, and barn. She mounted her horse, and waited as Jamech walked up to her. His eyes splayed a quizzical and confused look.

"An'nu, where are you going?"

"I'm leaving Jamech. I've been reminded of my past lives, and my duties now. I'm Sailor Egypt, and I need to save the world....and you can't hold me back.." She looked away, tears filling her eyes. She knew she had to leave him, but to her it was unbearable. She always ended up having to leave her loved ones.
"An'nu! You can't keep running away from your fears!" Jamech yelled at her. He searched through her mind and had learned how she always ran from her pain and suffering. And even those she loved yet feared.

An'nu gathered her reins and spurred her steed on. She didn't look back at her new found lover. She couldn't bear the fact that she might never see him again, and this way seemed like the only way possible to get through this time.
Bye tore into a back-breaking gallop, and she ran out through the opened-back-gate.
