THE MUMMY

Disclaimer: I don't own the mummy(Though I really wish I did) I do however own Isis(Ricks sister).

This one IS SHORT! Just a warning so you don't think they'll all be like this. The others WILL BE LONGER!


"Looks like you just promoted." Beni said to Rick as our oh so faithful Colonial galloped away from us.

"Beni I swear to the Gods that if you make one more noise I'll shoot you." I hissed to the cowardly man next to me. This was not the time for his little remarks. I almost pulled my hand gun on him, when he made a whimpering noise, but Rick stopped me before I could reach it.

"Shoot him after this is finished." Rick said to me form the other side of Beni.

'Ah, my dearest brother just saved your life Beni.' I though with an aggravated sigh.

"Fine." I muttered while loading my gun and aiming. At the moment the Tuaregs were galloping at us at an extremely fast pace. To add to that they all had guns. This wasn't my day.

"STEADY!" Rick yelled.

"When we get out of this remind me not to listen to you anymore." I said to Rick. It was his fault we were here in the first place.

"Remind me never to go near Beni. I might Kill him to vent my anger." Rick hissed. Beni shrunk back. "STEADY!" Rick yelled again.

Well that was about it for the little fleabag Beni because he took off running after our Colonial screaming, 'WAIT FOR ME!' Little coward. He didn't get to far before he tripped and fell flat on his stomach.

"Little shit." I sighed. He never got tired of running away.

"FIRE!" Rick yelled as loud as he could.

Gun shots rang though the air from both sides. Soon enough Rick grabbed my arm and we began to run. We kept shooting while running but ran out of bullets quickly. I gave an aggravated groan when I ran out of bullets and tosses the now useless gun to the side. Rick did the same.

"Beni don't you close that door!" Rick yelled. I looked to see Beni closing the stone door.

"Not that way! To late to get in!" I hissed as I dragged Rick. Then knowing Beni could most likely hear me yelled, "BENI WHEN I SEE YOU YOU'RE DEAD!" I could have sworn I heard a whimper from the closed door.

We came to a dead end and closed our eyes, waiting for the killing shot. I heard the whinny or horses and then smelled kicked up sand.

I cracked my eyes open and looked around. No Tuaregs. Wait. No Tuaregs? 'Where'd they go? Did they run?' I thought. The dust in the air proved I was right about them running away.

Rick backed up from the statue we were by and I followed.

Looking up into the statues face I saw it was Anubis. I stumbled back a little bit. I knew a lot about ancient Egypt and that included the Gods and the language.

Suddenly the sand was thrown up at us causing us to make a hasty retreat towards the vast, and now empty, desert beyond the city. This was going to be a long day.


UP ON THE CLIFF

"Should we kill them?" One of the men asked their leader.

"No. The desert will kill them." Their leader answered. He watched as the two people turned to look at the cliff they were on. The two acted as if they had seen nothing and kept walking.
