control. We spun once again through the air and landed in Mars. A wind spun us again and we were at the Sahara Desert.

No... I have to go to Egypt as I refocused once again on the pyramid earlier. Darkness spun around us and we were whisked once again into the air. We reappeared on the peak of a pyramid.

'Everyone, let go!' I yelled as loudly as I could.

There was a blinding flash of light and I was standing alone on the peak of the pyramid. At the base of the pyramid, tourists filled everywhere. A little girl looked up and saw me. She cried and pointed upwards to me.

I made myself invisible quickly and rushed down the side of the pyramid. I had to leap about a meter high from the air and landed away from the tourists. I could only see Jack and Rose standing together.

Damn! He's in my mind. I quickly sealed the most important information, before he managed to read them. Hopefully he hadn't. I wanted to get Jacque out of my mind, if it was possible.

'Where is Jacque?' Rose asked, glaring at me.

'Trapped in my mind...' I groaned.

'How? What?' cried Rose, shocked out of her wits.

'When Jacque didn't let go when I told him to, he got sucked into the depths of my mind,' I explained.

'Is there nothing we could do about it?' asked Rose in a sad way.

I hated it when women did that. Express sadly and expect to gain sympathy from others. I told her that to make it easier for Jacque to come out, I'd have to release my Shield that covers my mind.

She begged me to do so and I did. Rose was very pretty, prettier than my own mother. I didn't want to see her upset. Now, I had to find the Asylum of the Queen. I looked at the sand molecules and noticed traces of gold glittering amongst the sand molecules.

The water must have washed the gold away. And, the only water source closest around here is the Nile.

'Of course! The Nile...' I cried and zoomed to the longest river in the world. I threw myself into the water. I found out that I could see just as clearly as on land. My eyes scanned the river from upstream until the very end.

A glittering peak caught my attention and my eyes fixed its location quickly. Having known the exact point, I rose out from the water and rushed to the others...
CHAPTER 8
REFLECTION
'Now, everyone get inside the shield bubble,' I ordered.

Three spherical bubbles appeared in front of us. I was about to get in, but Jack stopped me.

'The Twist can fool the others, but not me...' Jack told me and jumped into his shield bubble.

I leapt into the bubble and sealed it behind me. I directed all the bubbles into the river and in the direction of the pyramid. Many strange and peculiar animals swam past us.

All manners of creatures and I spotted a pack of piranhas swimming towards us. But they changed course when they realized that we weren't normal humans. Rays of sunlight shone through the water as we ventured deeper into the Nile.
It was quite dark down there. And the journey was taking quite a while. My speed was at a minimum when I'm underwater. My mind wandered off with the silence.

Why had I actually been brought here? Was there something in the end that I had to achieve? Was I supposed to be the main character in this never before story for some unknown reason that will come to light soon enough? Was I?

'Chris! Look up...' Rose yelled.

I turned my head up, and my eyes caught a dark shape, swimming swiftly through the water. I tried to move our bubbles faster, for I felt a sudden urge of fear obscured me momentarily.

That's when the fact that I was no longer human struck me. I stopped the bubbles in their tracks. I waited for the crocodile to come nearer to me. It could sense that we had stopped.

Apparently, it was puzzled. Since when do humans challenge crocodiles? thought the crocodile. I closed my eyes as my mind intercepted the crocodile's thoughts.

'Come on!' I yelled.

My words actually pissed the crocodile off. It rushed at me, with its jaws wide open. The teeth glistened threateningly sharp, but I knew that my teeth were way sharper compared to those.

I lunged at it and I cracked all the bones in its body. I tore one part of the neck and tipped the blood out. It tasted queer but better than nothing. I felt energized. After sucking out all the blood, I let the body go.

I guided the bubbles to the base of the pyramid. There was a small box at the entrance. It was labelled in an ancient language. My mind translated it quickly and the words appeared before me, in English.

'I muttered, ' ANSWER AND ENTER .'

'First, we have to solve a riddle -

Electric bolts flashed through the water and struck the entrance. Dust bellowed up into the water. Pieces of human bones scattered all around us. I turned to Rose, astounded by her power.

'That is her special power. You already know about the power transaction when the transformation occurs, right? There are certain vampires whom are gifted with a special power that cannot be passed on. Like your teleportation power. It is yours completely to use,'

I controlled the bubbles and guided them into the pyramid, through the hole Rose had created.
