Summary: Post mummy 2.
Evy and Rick are on a dig when Alex is tragically killed. Now it is five years later and they have a young daughter who anxiously awaits their return home from Egypt once again. What happens when they don't return home though? The girl grows up and sets out on a life changing quest to find the parents she hasn't seen in years.
Oh and did we mention she runs into Imhotep?
Prologue:
The arguing voices could be heard from all the way outside the tomb. Rick and Evie were once again disagreeing over how to proceed past the latest obstacle.
"Listen to me! We cannot risk damaging this artifact!" came Evie's upset voice.
"Evie! It is just one little piece of pottery. There are hundreds of the same vases lying around here." Rick replied.
"Yes, we are just going to have to find some way to get around without damaging it. That's final Rick!" She turned back to her work and left Rick standing there shaking his head in disgust.
"Evie?" asked Rick gently. "Evie?"
"What?!" she snapped.
"I'm going to go check on Alex he's been mighty quiet for a while."
"Ooh. Yes you're right let's go." She replied quickly, their argument a thing of the past.
After the whole Ahme Shere expedition the two loving parents were both very uptight about Alex's safety. Whenever they were not in contact with him for a little while, they got jumpy. Rick and Evie raced back to the main entrance room and sighed in unison to see their little boy fiddling contently with the new mousetrap he was trying to build.
"Mum? Dad? Are you guys ok?" he asked looking genuinely concerned.
"Yes, yes we're all right we just hadn't heard you for a little so we came out to check." replied Evie, the relief evident in her voice.
"Aww, mum I'm fine there's no where to go in this place anyway. Just lots of sand and stuff." He whined.
"Can't be to sure though." said Rick.
The two walked back together smiling at the ridiculous urgency of their visit to Alex. Once they had returned to the tomb they were excavating in their voices started up again the anger echoing off the walls of the enclosed tomb.
Alex scowled at his parent's behavior.
And here they are supposed to be teaching me to not fight. He thought.
He thought it was a bit unfair that his parents toted him all around the world just to have him sit here and 'build a better mouse trap'. After several moments of sitting and fiddling with the device he got up. It is only so long a child can sit still in an ancient tomb with buried treasure behind its walls.
Taking a peek back at where his parents were, Alex walked around and over to a particularly ornate wall and ran his fingers over it. Remembering what had happened last time he had disobeyed his parents, Alex hesitated before he explored further. His fingers found a jeweled scarab rising from the wall. It was about the size of his fist and blue with emerald eyes. He looked once over his shoulder checking his parents weren't coming. Then he pressed the scarab down.
For a second nothing happened, then a great rumbling sound came and Alex fell to the floor. The wall split open to reveal a gaping hole. Rick and Evie came running out at the noise, just as Alex stepped inside.
The door swung slowly shut behind him, as Rick and Evie bolted over to the wall. The unmistakable skittering sound washed over the tomb as they heard their son begin to scream.
Evie and Rick pounded on the door as he screamed louder.
"Alex!" Evie yelled through the trap door.
Only screaming was the response.
"ALEX!" she screamed.
The small boy whimpered behind the door.
"ALLLEXXX!"
There were a few more screams, and then nothing but the ominous skittering of the deadly flesh eaters.
Evie broke down into tears as the dead silence sealed her son's fate. Rick pounded on the door in a fit of anger only for a spot next to where Alex had disappeared opened up.
Inside lay the lost treasure of Nefertari they were searching for. Both parents stood dumbfounded with tears streaming down their faces.
This is only the prologue so we will actually get into the story in the next chapter.
