Previous chapter: 01
As Dean left Sam's room his eyes widened at the scene before him: great numbers of people were running everywhere screaming as guys clad in black were literally destroying the ship. Dean aimed his gun at one of them and fired, lips twisting into a satisfied smirk when the guy’s corpse dropped to the floor. He made his way through the mass of panic, trying his best to stay out of the line of fire while he continued to use his own weapon.
Ash was running towards him and they met at the deck.
"Where's Sam?" he asked somewhat breathlessly.
"He's in his room, I told him to stay there."
"We have to get him. The captain is having everyone abandon the ship."
"Go wait for me at the front, I'll get him."
Ash nodded and ran in the opposite direction. Dean went back to Sam's room but found the door wide open and some guy dragging Sam from it. The young man had no intention of making it easy, thrashing in an attempt to get free.
"Let go of me, you fucker!"
"Sam!" Dean exclaimed. He quickly took aim and shot the guy in the head.
Sam jumped as soon as his attacker dropped dead beside him, blood splattered on his shirt. He still looked startled as Dean grabbed him by the shoulders.
"You're good?"
"Yeah," Sam replied shakily.
"Give us the map," a rough voice said behind them.
Both boys turned around to face him. He was dressed in black like the others were, but he had a different, confidant air about him and Dean concluded that he was probably the leader.
The man approached, pointing a sword in their direction. "Give us the map."
“No way," Sam spat before Dean could stop him.
The man sneered, advancing on them and Dean pushed Sam forward.
"Run!"
The young librarian did as he was told, running to the opposite side of the corridor towards the front deck of the ship. He located his brother then turned around in time to see Dean catch up to them.
"What do we do now?"
"Now, we jump,” Dean replied, his gun remaining aimed at the man who was still pursuing them.
"What?!"
"It's the only choice, little brother." Ash indicated the other people that were hastily abandoning the ship.
"But the map... my things."
"We'll worry about those later. Now jump!"
Before Sam could protest any longer, both Ash and Dean pushed him and he lost his balance before falling into the dark water of the Nile. He gasped as he broke the surface and looked around desperately trying to find his brother and the blond in the darkness of the Egyptian night. Finally, he spotted Dean swimming towards his direction and he floated over to meet him halfway.
"Where's Ash?"
"He’s headed towards the shore. Let's go."
"You two are fucking crazy,” Sam said exasperatedly as they swam.
"I've been called worse,” Dean shrugged.
The shore was already packed with other passengers by the time they reached it. Sam laid down on the soft sand and gasped for breath, trying to reorganize his muddled thoughts. He felt Dean lay next to him and his heart calmed down a little bit.
“What the fuck was that?”
“Hell if I know,” Dean replied breathlessly.
“I can’t believe this, all my stuff was there!”
Sam turned his head, looking at the blond girl next to them who was currently trying to dry her dripping hair. At her side was another girl with brown hair.
“Fucker!”
Directing his attention to the opposite direction at the shout, Sam gasped when he saw Dean punching a dark-skinned guy. He rushed over and caught Dean’s arm as a male passenger grabbed onto the other man.
“What the hell was that, Dean?”
“Let me go, I’ll freaking kill the bastard!” spat Dean angrily. “Gordon, you’re going down!”
“You going to ask for help from the nerd behind you?” the guy, Gordon, growled back.
“Dude, you are so dead.”
Sam had to hold him really hard so that Dean couldn’t punch Gordon again. Someone else put himself between them.
“Come on guys, this is not the time for fights! We’re all on the same side here!”
Dean shrugged from Sam’s grip in a huff. Gordon did the same to the guy holding him.
“Who are you?” Sam asked once it was clear that the strange fight was really over.
“My name is Andrew Gallagher, but you can call me Andy,” replied the young man. “That one is Jake and the girls are Ava and Lily. And you’re with Dean, right?”
“Yeah. So you’re the guys who are going to the lost city too…oh shit!” Sam exclaimed, hastily putting his hand in his pocket. He frowned as pieces of paper came out, all fragmented because of the water. “Our map is gone.”
“God damn,” whispered Andy dejectedly, “and here I thought we could go together, but now we don’t even know where it is anymore.”
Dean laughed and Sam arched one eyebrow at him. “This is exactly the reason why I’m a better guide than that fucker over there. I don’t need that map, it’s all here in my mind.”
“Yeah, right, we’ll get lost in the desert,” Gordon replied haughtily.
“I got out of the desert on my own after you ran away like the coward you are,” Dean glared at him.
"Okay, enough," Ash insisted, stopping the tirade. "I get it, both of you want to kill each other. But not right now, alright? Let's go to this lost city first and then you guys settle the score."
Dean looked away with a snort and started walking. Sam released a sigh before following him.
Just perfect.

“I never thought I would ride on a camel in my life.”
“And you live in Egypt? How, I wonder.”
Sam stuck his tongue out at Dean in retaliation, smiling a little bit when the soldier chuckled. After the whole ship fiasco, they decided to join with Andy’s group since they were going to the same place and everything. Dean was less than thrilled about the whole idea because that meant he and Gordon were supposed to work together, but they stayed as far as possible from each other and Sam noticed. Truth be known Sam hadn’t let anything concerning Dean pass his observation.
The librarian knew he was developing a serious crush. He couldn’t help it; besides being freaking gorgeous, Dean had a sense of humor and was smarter than a lot of people gave him credit for. Yeah, and did Sam mention he was freaking gorgeous?
“Are we there yet?” Andy asked, his body inclined on his own camel with a bored-to-death look on his face.
“A few minutes, give or take,” answered Dean, his gaze focused straight ahead of them.
“We’re lost,” Gordon stated dryly.
“Shut up, fucker.”
“Not again, you two,” Ava rolled her eyes.
“What’s up with these two that they want to rip each other’s throat out so badly?” asked Jake, riding closer to Sam.
“Apparently they were in the army together and on the last battle they fought, Gordon left Dean to die,” Sam shrugged.
That was Dean’s version, anyway.
“Wow, we really know how to choose our guides,” Jake snickered.
Sam started to laugh too when they suddenly all stopped short. He flailed in an attempt to keep his balance and nearly fell onto the warm sand.
“This is it,” Dean announced.
“Where’s the city?” asked Lily, looking around.
“Wait for it,” he replied mysteriously.
The sun started dying on the horizon, the sand flowing with the wind. Suddenly the reflection of the dying light caused a tower to rise up from the sand and reveal the beginning of the city. Dean smirked and tapped on his camel and the animal ran towards the city at full speed. After a moment of awed surprise the rest of the group followed.
The city was like paradise for Sam. All the walls, the towers, the drawings. All full of ancient history and power and knowledge of that lost time of Egypt. The librarian was almost giddy.
“Don’t come in your pants, geek boy.”
Sam spun around, blushing furiously as he glared at Dean. “Shut up, Dean. You can’t begin to understand the importance it is for me to discover this place.”
The soldier looked at him curiously. “Enlighten me, then.”
Sam blinked at the honest question, before looking away. He looked at the huge towers surrounding the place that were illuminated by torches and other equipment.
“My dad always told me about this place when I was little. It was his and my mom’s mission to find it. They were in the middle of discovering a new clue about it when the plane crashed and they died. After that I was adopted by Ash’s family.”
“Your father was a fool.”
“What?! Don’t you dare say that!” Sam demanded furiously.
The blond was looking at the horizon, a lost expression on his face. “This place only attracts death. Believe me, I know. All my companions died here in a way that even today I can’t explain. I swore to myself that I would never come back here.”
Sam’s anger melting into a bit of sympathy…and almost childish curiosity. “Why did you come then?”
Dean scratched his head, looking at him. “Couldn’t let you come alone. What kind of guide do you think I am?”
That made him blush again and his heart beat faster against his ribcage. It was only concern; Sam couldn’t let his hopes get too high. “Thanks,” he mumbled after a few moments.
“Don’t thank me yet. When we get out of here, you can do it properly,” Dean said, his green eyes sparkling mischievously.
“Hey lover boys, come see what we found!” screamed Ash from the other side of the temple they were standing in.
Dean looked away and smiled lightly before he followed Ash’s voice, Sam close behind him. Damn, his brother always did have the talent to interrupt important moments! Not that Sam felt a moment over there.
No sir. Not at all.
