Rubye and Thomas Faramay lived in Giza, Egypt with their French-Egyptian mother Cecilia and their American father,Greg.They had lived in this country all their life and never expected that they would run away. But they did.
One realisticly sweltering day the siblings snuck out the back door.The sound of Cecelia Faramay washing dishes sent a chill down Rubye’s back, but the twelve year old girl did manage to find her way ,however cautiously, down the stone steps of her home. When she was at the bottom she ran to the well to meet her 8 year old younger brother.”I always wanted to see the pyramid of Giza!”the boy mumbled through an oversized banana lolipop.”I never said anything about the Great Pyramid.” Rubye scolded.
“We’re going to Llywellyn’s house.”
“You can’t make me!” shouted Thomas.
And so it was that the boy and girl set off for the long journey to the Pyramid. It took a matter of days. Here is where this story starts.
Rubye ran out the gate with a smash as the door crashed behind her.The land beyond the small house was mostly sand. Sand fell in mountains from the ever collecting hills on the A frame roof. Rubye walked through with regret as the annoying clumps of damp sand fell into her tangly brown-blonde hair. As the rather young girl trudged through the ankle deep sand, the clumps of sand and hair burst and fell to the duny desert floor. “Rubye, I’m ahead of you!” Thomas said loudly. “Well...wait for me!” Rubye stammered. She sped ahead of her younger brother, her sandy olive colored feet swishing in the heavy sand that overflowed out of her sandals. As battered as they were, they protected Rubye’s feet from the hot sun that burned her face and the rest of her that didn’t have a lot of sunscreen on it. Cecilia had a habit of putting a lot of sunscreen on her children. Exactly why Rubye and Thomas detested their trips outside.
But this time was differenet. The kids were going to the pyramid of Giza!! And there was nobody to judje them of their doings...
Chapter 2╓
Rubye looked in utmost wonder at the beaty ahead of her. “The pyramid of Giza,” she said dreamily as her brother snorted and said,”Mph. It was my idea--until you came along to agree. I WOULD have liked to go alone and...”
“And it’s simply wondrous!” Rubye sighed. “Imagine, 3,000 years ago it was built and it’s still standing even now!” “Hah! Without me we’d have been at Llewellyn’s house.” he smirked. “So you say. I’m glad I agreed.” Rubye said.
