Disclaimer: I own nothing but the thoughts in my head. This is from the Mummy Returns where Evy dies. This is my first fanfic so R&R but no flames please. Only constructive criticism Enjoy
Rick's P.O.V.
She was gone and the world was dark.
How could she leave? Doesn't she know how much I need her? Evy Evy come back..
Please come back… I can't survive without you.
I lay my head on her chest, feeling the warmth leaving her. I can feel myself getting colder, as if I am dying with her. In a way I am. She is my heart, without her my body works but I am dead inside.
Take care of Alex she says. I couldn't even take care of her, how could I take care of our son? I can't do it Evy, I can't. I raise my head and look at our son. He is looking at her with such devastation and heartbreak that I can't look at him for long. I imagine my face has the same look. I lay my head back on my wife's chest, trying to listen for anything noise, anything, that shows she hasn't left. I hear nothing.
I hear my son and brother-in-law talking to me. They sound very far away and I can't make out what they are saying. I raise my head from my Evy and look at them. My son is looking at me like I have all the answers, like I can wake his mom up and we can all go home. I have no answers, I have no plan, I have nothing but the empty shell of someone I love.
Damn that Imhotep and his Mistress! They will PAY!
I feel a steely cold rage envelope me. I embrace it, welcome it, and wrap it around me like a shroud. Anything is better than feeling the despair and sadness. I look at Jonathan and Alex. They sense the change in me, I think they are afraid but I don't care. I CAN'T care. I hug Alex once last time and turn to Jonathan.
"Jonathan, I need you to stay out here and watch after Alex. No matter what happens you take care of him, do you understand?" I need Alex to live. He is the best of both of us, and he needs to grow up and live. I feel a prick of sadness where my heart once resided, but I don't let it take hold. I can't let it take hold. If I do I may not be able to do what needs to be done.
"What are you going to do?" Jonathan asks with a quiver in his voice. If I had any feelings left, I might have felt sorry for him.
"Just promise me that you will take care of Alex."
"Of course I will Rick, but there is no need, because you will come back. Right?"
I don't answer. I have no plans on making it out of this temple alive. The only thing I know is that before I go, I am going take that bastard that took my wife from me. HE is the reason my son will grow up without his mother.
He will pay.
