| really needed some time alone, if not to collect her thoughts, she just needed to let her emotions take over, they had been bottled up for so long now. she wanted to be strong, but apparently she couldn't. She slowly sank to the wooden floor, clinging to the rails as she did. As she looked down upon the water her tears started to fall, each one landing in the water, although the current was too strong each tear still made its own impression in the sea. "Oh God." She mumbled to herself as she broke down. Ever so carefully Evelyn knelt onto her knees and leaned over the railing, resting her head on her hands as they gripped the bars, she was sobbing so hard that her whole body shook. She stayed like that for as it seemed, ever. Her whole body was sore from shaking, her eyes from squinting, and her throat was choked up, when finally she ever so slowly got up. 'Where are you Alex?' She asked herself, 'Who did this to you?' Then the most horrific question, 'Are you still alive?' At the thought of her son's demise Evelyn broke down again, only this time harder. She collapsed back down onto the deck and practically wailed. He heard it as soon as she fell upon the floor, the second time. Rick stopped what he was doing, to listen and make sure everything was alright, but then he heard her cry out. But this wasn't a cry in pain, or at least not physical pain. He knew what this cry was. Richard O'Connell dropped everything he was doing, and precipitately made his way to the deck above to be with his wife. Jean ([email protected]) February 3, 2002 Rick walked over to his wife and for once didn't really know what to do. Desperately he wanted to lift her up and hold her to quench his own fear, but he knew all she wanted was time away from everything, and everyone. And that time away included him. He made an open invitation, sitting next to her with his legs stretched out and his arms wide. Gladly Evelyn went into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck, sobbing into his ear. "Don�t worry honey, everything will end up just like last time, don't worry. I promise to you that nothing bad will happen to you or Alex." Little did he know what was in store for Rick O'Connell. Milo ([email protected]) February 5, 2002 Back with Alex things were quite hectic. The girl had come right up to them and tackled Seth, causing Nephthys to scream as well as Seth, who screamed quite girlish for the godly god he was. But amidst the screaming, the girl was punching Seth quite well wherever she could reach him, "YOU BASTARD!" She screamed. After watching with huge eyes, Alex couldn't help but laugh as Nephthys pried the girl off of Seth, and Seth lie there on the ground like a big baby. Nephthys glared at the girl, "Gabrielle. What a pleasant surprise," she said with sarcasm, "how's your friend?" The girl, who's name was Gabrielle obviously, glared back with even more hatred than Nephthys, "Olympus is NOT well, thanks to your boyfriend here, who's about to get his ass kicked!" Nephthys laughed evilly, "Oh too bad...I always sort of liked Olympus. He sure loved you.... I can understand why you were never too interested though...he's quite the scrawny fellow." Gabrielle just looked at the goddess with obvious disbelief, "It's amazing...you look like a normal person, but actually... you're the angel of death." Evie (IcePrincess [email protected]) February 7, 2002 Meanwhile back on Rick's ship Evie had finally calmed down and stopped crying, but Rick held her just a little more just to make sure she was all right. Finally Rick went down below to see how drunk Jonathan was, and if he had passed out yet. Evie went back over to look down at the water as she tried her hardest not to cry. Jonathan (surprisingly!) hadn't gotten drunk yet, and went up to check on Evie. "What's wrong baby sister?" Jonathan asked, he still didn't believe that his beloved Bonnie had anything to do with it. Evie tried her hardest not to get mad at Jonathan, but she couldn't help it. "Why do you think I'm upset?! Besides the fact that that damn Bonnie of yours stole my son!" "What the bloody hell are you talking about?!?" Argued Jonathan, he was outraged that Evie, Rick, and Ardeth Bey still thought Bonnie had taken Alex. "I told you before! Bonnie would never take Alex! I don't even know why I am with you crazy people looking for that damn son of yours when I should be looking for Bonnie!!!" As soon as he said it he regretted it. He hadn't meant to say that, but he was just so mad. He really did love Alex. " Evie... I..I didn't mean..." Unfortunately it wasn't enough because before he could finish Evie punched him as hard as she could in the face, and walked away sobbing. Leaving Jonathan with a bloody nose. All of a sudden Rick appeared up on deck looking like he wanted to shoot Jonathan " What the hell did you say to my wife?!" Before Jonathan could answer everyone heard an explosion coming from the front of the ship... Marion ([email protected]) February 8, 2002 Somewhere, deep in the desert of Egypt something stirred. The golden sand shimmered, the air crisp with anxiety. A copper form emerged from a cloud of dust, clad only in the rays of the sun. Her eyes were dark and large, though glossy with content, shining out from her face. Her high defined cheekbones which sloped into her full lips were accentuated by those eyes... She had a nasty demeanor, but this was all hidden under her beauty. Her dark hair was in tight ringlets down her back and she wore only enough material as though not to be indecent. The makeup she wore was simple. Bits of gold flew from her eyes while dark lines outlined them. The effect drew anyone's attention to her face |
