Bold= Ancient Egyptian

As long as I could remember, I would have the same dream over and over again. And whenever I would have this dream, I didn't know why I would have this particular dream. The first time I didn't question it or really paid attention to any details. But on the fourth and fifth time, I started too. I would wonder why would I dream this? Did it have some kind of meaning? Some kind of purpose? Was the universe trying to tell me something?

Dream:

In my dreams, I figured that I was living in Ancient Egypt and I was Pharaoh Seti l youngest daughter, Abayomi. My older brother Ramses, my older sister Nefertiti, and I had all totally different personality yet we all loved one another. But since my siblings were older than I was, they had more responsibilities.

I was on my way to my older sister's chambers. The servants would bow to me and I would kindly acknowledge them. Brother Ramses would always tease me about being nice to the slaves or anyone below me. But I didn't care if you were below me or higher than me if you show me respect than I will show you the same.

I knocked on Nefertiri's chamber. I waited until she or one of her servant opened. And like I expected, her servant opened. Once she saw me, she bowed and moved to the side so I can enter.

"Welcome, princess Abayomi," the young servant said.

"Is your lady, Princess Nefertiti here?" I said looking at my older sister's chamber.

"Yes, my princess. She is on the balcony"

"Thank you, you are dismissed for the night," I said to her.

The young servant kindly smiled at me, bowed, and left us along. I went out to the balcony and saw my beautiful sister standing there. I was planning on scaring her but once I what she was staring at had me shocked, confused, and angry. I gasped at the sight of my betrothed, Priest Imhotep was waiting in my future step-mother's Anuck Su Namun's chamber. I felt my sister's hand held mine and we watched as the two traitors did the unthinkable.

When Anuck Su Namun walked in they greeted one another before he kissed her. I looked away feeling so much hatred and betrayal. My sister squeezed my hand tighter letting me know she was here for me. I truly loved him like never before. I deeply cared for him and I would have done anything he asked of me. But clearly, my feeling for him meant nothing for him.

In the distance, we heard someone approaching Anuck Su Namun's chamber. Imhotep and his mistress had a small argument which we couldn't hear. Once they finished Imphotep left and hid behind the drapes. We watched the silhouette unfold and we gasped.

"Medjai quickly my father needs you"

Nefertiti shouted down pointing across so they knew where to go. However, they were too late as Anuck Su Namun and Imphotep murdered the Pharaoh, my father. The Pharaoh was killed by the two he trusted the most. Nefertiti shouted and she fell off the balcony.

"Nefertiti"

I shouted. And like in every one of my dreams I woke up falling down the balcony trying to save my beloved sister.

"Damn i... another useless attempted"

I said looking up at my ceiling. It took me a few seconds to collect myself. Sighing, I got up from my bed and head to the small bathroom. I recently bought this small apartment, after leaving the orphanage with adopted father Richard "Rick" O'Connell. Rick and I were the only one to get along with each other while being the same orphanage. When Rick has left the orphanage, I became depressed. I lost my only family and the only person I could trust in this shitty place. Three years later, Rick came back and legally adopted me as his daughter. Even though we're legal 'father' and 'daughter' we act more like brother and sister. He doesn't call me daughter and I don't call him father. However, Rick isn't here. It's been six months since I last saw him. He's in the army and he left to fight somewhere in Egypt, I think? When he came back he hasn't been the same. One day he told me, he was going to do something and six months later I haven't seen him since.

Some opened the door and I slowly walked into the living room. Someone was in the kitchen drinking my milk. Confused and angry, why is this shitty person here.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

I shouted making the person turn around. When he turned around I wasn't expecting this view. Rick stood there looking like he went through a lot. I didn't care what happened all I wanted was to hug him and make sure he was real. We hugged each other for a long time. Once I let go I smacked him across his face. He was shocked but slightly happy he rubbed his check.

"What the fuck was that for, Delilah?"

"Are you kidding me? For fucken six months, Rick. Six fucken months no letter, no phone call no nothing. Where in the hell have you been?"

I asked crossing my hands waiting for his answer. He looked down and put his hands behind his back much like a little kid getting in trouble. He mumbles something which I didn't catch.

"Speak up, Rick"

He looks up and rubbed the back of his neck.

"I... houuwas...jfdeathrow.."

He mumbles once again. He looks at me and when saw that I wasn't having any of his bullshit, he sighs.

"Look don't get mad okay"

He said and I didn't respond. Rick sighs again.

"I was on death row"

My eyes went wide realizing what that meant, dumbass was going to get killed. He quickly put his hand stopping me from saying anything.

"Dee, don't worry they didn't kill me. See I'm still alive"

He joked I was staring at him angrily.

"Look, I was saved-"

"How much do we owe this person for saving your ass?"

I screamed at him.

"Nothi-"

"Bullshit Rick, you of all people know no one does anything for nice nowadays."

Rick sighs once again. He gently pulls me by my arms and sits me down on the sofa. He slowly rubs my cheek with his thumb.

"Delilah, this person doesn't want money -"

"Then what does he want?"

He looks down.

"Hamunaptra"

He whispers. I look at him shocked. Ever since he came back from the army he hasn't been the same. Always having nightmares about that place. He promised me he would never go back there not even if they paid him millions of dollars... so what changed?

"Rick-"

"I know what I said, Dee. But a deal is a deal and I do not break a deal"

He said getting up and heading to his room. I followed him and stood by the doorway. I watched him pull out a bag from under his bed. All of his weapons were there not one missing.

"So when are we leaving?"

I asked him. He shots his head up and looked at me, seriously.

"You're-"

Rick begins to say but I shut him up walking towards him.

"I'm going with you like it or not. I won't have you running around in that damn place getting yourself killed, Rick."

"And I won't have you running around getting yourself killed, Dee"

"Then it's settled... we keep each other safe... remember our promise, Rick"

I said holding Rick's hands. He looks down at them and sighs. He looks at me and smiles slightly.

"Damn it, Dee... you have to listen to me, that place is dangerous."

"When don't I ever?"

I smiled, kissed his cheek but stopped halfway. I back away looking disgusted and he looked at me confused.

"You stink like a pig"

I said, Rick smiles and smells himself. He laughs,

"I do, don't i"

I laugh with him. I pull his hands and we went to the restroom. I closed the toilet seat and sat him there. I got all the things I needed to clean him up. I cut his nasty long hair and trimmed his ridiculously long beard. Once I was happy how he looked, I sent him to take a shower. I went to his room and took out his clothes and placed them on his bed. When he came out he looked all brand new. I smiled up at him.

"So wanna go out and eat or wanna go to sleep?"

"If you don't mind, I would like to sleep before we head off tomorrow"

He said. I nod and kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight, idiot"

He smiled at me. I went to turn off the light in the living room and went to my room. I couldn't help but feel like this adventure will turn my world upside down.

The next morning, I woke up early to make Rick his favorite breakfast; blueberry pancakes, bacon, sausages, and his black coffee. Rick comes in smelling the air. He looks at me smiling and I point to the table, which he gladly went to sit down. During our breakfast, we talked like if nothing happened like he wasn't missing for six whole months. I guess we just have this strange relationship.

After breakfast, we went to start packing Rick said we should pack enough for two weeks. When we finished, we grab a cab and headed to the ports where the person who saved his ass will be. A young woman had her back turned to us saying she doesn't trust or like someone. Somehow I was feeling Deja-vu. We walked up to the young woman and a young man.

"Anyone, I know?"

Rick asked standing in front of them. I, on the other hand, was behind Rick. When I got a good view of the young woman, I gasped. She looked exactly like the girl in my dreams.

Oh, em hello" the women stuttered.

The man grabs Rick's arm and shakes his hand.

"Smashing way to start an adventure, eh, O'Connell?"

He said. Rick quickly checks his pockets. Once he finds his wallets he relaxes. After the lady fully recovers, she cleared her throat and step up to Rick.

I took this time too clearly study these people. The man looked slightly like my supposed brother in my dream, Ramses. But this man was thinner and didn't have the powerful aura that Ramses had. The lady looked like my lovely dream sister, Nefertitit and Rick looked like my old Medjai, which I never told him about for fear he would call me crazy and not want me anymore. Strange, we were all reincarnates or people from my dreams.

I saw Rick and the lady talking more like arguing before he picks up her luggage along with mine and his, he heads for the boat. He stops midway and looks back at me,

"You coming, Dee?"

He asked. Rolling my eyes I smiled at him.

"What a gentleman"

I said in Egyptian. I heard someone gasped and I turned around. The lady was staring at me.

"Y-you know Egyptian"

She said. I smirked at her and turned around, not even responding to her question. I joined Rick and we both went inside the boat. We left the two people behind. Once Rick and I found our rooms, his room was next to mine, I unpacked our bags knowing full well he wasn't going too.

Later that night, I went out to walk around the boat. I spotted the lady from early, reading a book and decided I should introduce myself.

"May I sit here?"

I asked she looks up and looks confused.

"Umm, sure"

She said I nod and sat down. I started out to the river she nor did I talk to one another. I knew she had questions and I wasn't going to be the first one to talk. Then I heard her sigh.

"So how do you know Mr. O'Connell?"

I turn to her and smiled, she looked at me confused.

"Well if you must know, Mr. O'Connell is my father"

I said causing her eyes to widen and her mouth dropped. I couldn't help by laugh at her she looked so surprised.

"Fath-... he can'-... O'Connell?... What?"

I laughed even more. After the both of us recovered I stared at her smiling.

"Relax, he isn't my biological father. We were in the same orphanage and when he came to age he adopted me."

She looks taken back from my response.

"He may be my father in a piece of paper but we act like we're actually siblings, we fight and makeup like one. He's a good guy don't let him scare you with his rudeness, madame"

She did say anything but simply stared at me. After a few seconds, she smiled.

"My name is Evelyn Carnahan and the man from early was my brother Jonathan-"

"He stole from Rick, huh"

Evelyn looks down embarrassed and in shame. I laughed and she looks up confused.

"Don't worry about it, it's easy stealing from Rick when he's drunk"

I said still laughing and she smiles.

"You're different than he is"

She said and I smiled.

"Of course, he's the muscle and I am the brains. I speak far more languages than he does-"

"And what are they?"

She asked intrigued, I smiled.

"Well, I know English-"

She rolls her eyes, playfully.

"Spanish, French, Ancient Egyptian, Arabic, and I could read hieroglyphics-"

"Ohh, I do too. Well I know Ancient Egyptian and read hieroglyphics"

Evelyn said with pride. I was going to say something but a bad slammed on the table. Evelyn and I looked up and saw Rick with a cocky smile.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you"

Rick teased, Evelyn rolled her eyes, and I smiled.

"The only thing that scares me is your manners"

She said making me laugh.

"Still angry about that kiss?"

Rick said, what a kiss? Who kissed who?

"If you called that a kiss"

Evelyn retorted making Rick go speechless and I bust up laughing. Rick glared at me he then rolled his weapon bag. His bag contains many things; revolver, pistol, hunting knives, a massive elephant gun, and a half dozen of carefully wrapped sticks of dynamites. Evelyn was staring at his collection as if she never seen something like that.

"Did I miss something? Are we going to battle?"

Evelyn asked picking up a hunting knife. Rick takes the knife away from her before she hurts herself. He then starts to dismantle and clean his guns. I was feeling like I was in the middle of something, getting up I excused myself.

"Well I am heading off to bed"

I said, Evelyn smiles and bids me goodnight.

"Hey, take this"

Rick hands me one of his pistols. I stared at it he knows I don't like this kind of things. I look up at him, frowning.

"I know, I know. But it'll make me feel much better knowing you have something you can protect yourself with"

My whole face softens and I smiled at him.

"Fine... Goodnight"

I said going over there and giving him a kiss on his cheek.

"You better explain to me later about that kiss"

I whispered to him before pulling away. He gives me an 'oh shit' look. I laughed and left them alone. While i walked way i couldn't help but feel like someone was staring at us.
