Chapter Five

Bennu backed up. The topaz-studded stone face appeared to be the only snake-free area of the tunnel. If she’d been quicker, she might have been able to run up the corridor before the serpents had finished their slithering descent from the ceiling. But somehow she doubted it. Whoever had designed this trap had intended for it to close as soon as she had cut the stones free. The stones—and her possession of them—were the trigger. Simply dropping the stones would hardly solve her problem.

“OK,” she whispered. She could activate the rescue beacon embedded underneath her skin—but it would be hours, at the earliest, before her brothers made their swashbuckling way halfway across the galaxy and forced their way inside the mines. What their chances were against Pharon’s demons, she did not know, but she suspected that the fight would be more equal than she—or her brothers—would prefer.

Were there other options?

She slid the blaster free of her belt. The snakes paused—never a good sign—and massed. They’d blocked her exit from the tunnel—her only choice now was to either stand her ground or allow the snakes to drive her further back into the dark tunnel. She didn’t want to know what else lay waiting for her in the oppressive darkness.

The first snake uncoiled and flew through the air. She fried it before it crossed the line she had mentally scratched in the sand. One down—she gave up counting how many more were left.

After all, the number of snakes probably exceeded the number of minutes that she had left to live.
