CHAPTER 7

Flo took a step toward Bastet’s throne. “That’s m—” she started to say. But the dog-headed soldier immediately stopped her.

“These creatures are curious to me,” Bastet said, rising from her throne. Flo’s lunchbox dangled from her ring-covered fingers. “They are not like us.”

You got that right, cat lady, Flo thought. She wanted nothing more than to snatch her lunchbox and make a break for it. But there were guards everywhere. They wouldn’t get far. Well, maybe Furry would, Flo realized, but not me.

“What is to be their fate, my goddess?” the hawk-headed guard asked, bowing his head. “Their arrival could bring impending doom to our people.”

Bastet stepped down from her raised throne and studied Furry and Flo. “Throw them into the pits,” she said with a wave of her ringed hand.

Instantly, the guards grabbed Flo and Furry and began dragging them out of Bastet’s chamber. Flo had no idea what the pits were, but they sounded like . . . well, the pits.

“Wait!” Flo shouted frantically. “I know about that box you found! I’ll tell you all about it!”

The servants and guards all gasped and froze in fear. Everyone stared at the cat-headed goddess, waiting for her reaction.
