So i decided to rewrite this story as i did write it quite in a hurry over a one weekend so now i have read it over again and added some improvements in there. Hope you like it and review!

Hamunaptra y.1923

I looked at the army of Arabs who we were supposed to fight. There were at least a hundred of them and only twenty of us. Oh yes this will be an even match. When my brother and I joined to the French Legion this was not what I had expected to happen. To be honest I didn't know what to expect, but this sure ain't it. I adjusted my dirty beige bandanna off of my forehead and then turned my head towards my 'dear' brother Rick O'Connell's.

''If we die here I'll kill you, okay Rick?'' I said to him as I position my gun towards the Arabs.

''He he, love you too Nikki,'' he replied laughing.

''That's why I'm here,'' I said drily as I turn my eyes to our enemies. Being Rick O'Connell's little sister I'm pretty used to this kinda stuff. I mean after all we've been through this is not the weirdest or even the most dangerous thing we have done.

But just when the army of Arabs was about a couple hundred feet's away, our legions colonel decided to get cold feet and shamelessly ran away.

''You just got promoted,'' our cowardly friend Beni declared to Rick. Rick looked frustrated and yelled everybody to be ready. I loaded my gun and aimed it towards the upcoming army. Okay, next time Rick gets a brilliant idea of an adventure slap him on the head so hard he won't remember even his own name.

Oh well here we go.

''Steady!'' Rick yelled to the legion, ''your with me on this one, right?'' He then asked Beni.

''Oh, your strength gives me strength,'' he replied. Oh yea right. If he's not out of here in five minutes or less I'm officially blaming the heat for damaging my brain. We looked the army that was now only thirty feet away from us. Beni looked really pale compared to his normal tan skin and his forehead was glistening with sweat and he looked like he was ready to shit his pants, and then, just as I had predicted, he took off. I gave my brother 'I told you so look'. He just shook his head as if he had anticipated this and yelled,

''Ready!'' and when the army was couple feet closer, he yelled, ''FIRE!'' We fired our guns and the front row of Arabs fell down. And we fired again and again. Many Arabs fell, but some didn't and they kept coming at us, fast. Then the Arabs started firing at us. I tried to fire again, but realized that I had run out of bullets. I quickly took cover and started to reload my gun.

The Arabs fired at us and our troops started getting smaller and smaller as they fell. We had to rise up and get to the higher ground. Then the real battle begun when the Arabs finally crossed the wall we were using as cover, lucky I wasn't behind it anymore or I'd be flattened by horses. We were greatly outnumbered and our numbers were quickly decreasing. The Arabs were using swords along with their guns and we only had our guns and limited amount of bullets.

I looked at Rick and he was totally calm about this situation while reloaded his gun and if he didn't make it he'd use his gun as a bat and then continue loading his gun. I fired at couple Arabs and as I had an excellent aim they both fell down, but it doesn't really save us as there still was at least five times more Arabs than there was us. And then I looked again at Rick and apparently he'd also ran out of bullets from his riffle as he throws it away and takes out his two pistols and starts using them. I saw one Arab aiming at him from behind and before he could shoot I shot him on the back.

What would my brother do without me? Rick just gave me a quick nod as thanks.

I ran to his side as he ran out of bullets, again. We started running to the temple as the Arabs started chasing us. I tried to shoot them as we ran, but my gun was also out of bullets and I didn't have any more guns or bullets for that matter. We then saw Beni standing in front of us. What a heck is he just standing there?

''Run Beni, Run,'' Rick yelled to him. Behind him was a big stone doorway. Are we saved?

''Get inside, get inside,'' Rick yelled to him as we run. Almost there.

''Hey, don't close that door,'' we yelled at Beni as he started closing the door leaving us outside while he saved his own sorry ass. No no no. He closed the door right in front of us just when we got to the door.

When I get my hand on that little rat he's going to be sorry that he ever met me. No one messes with Nikki O'Connell. But no time for that now, Arabs were right on our tale. We run around the temple trying to avoid being caught.

Jumping, running, dotting bullets. If this was Ricks idea of a family vacation he's so gonna get it. We run into some Arabs and had to change way. Finally we ran into a dead end.

'NO!' I yelled in my head as I turn around to see that we were surrounded by the Arabs and had nowhere to run.

The Arabs were aiming at us ready to shoot. We closed our eyes and waited the dead to come and get us. We waited and waited. I dared to open my other eye and was sueprised to see the Arabs running away.

What?

Then suddenly I heard a whisper. A spooky whisper. Like it was just hanging in the air and coming from everywhere and at the same time nowhere.

''What was that?'' I asked Rick. He didn't answer to me, but looked the statue behind us. Was it Anubis? God of the dead or something? Then suddenly the sand started attacking at us trying to drive us out of the city.

''Whoa,'' Rick yelled. We ran out of there as the sand apparently wanted. The Arabs were long gone when we got out of the ruined city. When we entered to the desert I looked at it and wondered now what we were going to do.

''Rick if die out in the desert, I'll kill you,'' I said to Rick.

''Hey we didn't die back there, what makes you think we die out here?'' He said chuckling and pointed at the desert.

''Do you really want to know?'' I asked. He looked at me when I gave him the 'really' look.

''I guess not'' He finally said while still chuckling.

''Just start walking'' I sternly said and started walking ahead.

When we had taken few steps Rick turned around and looked at the cliff.

''What is it Rick?'' I asked and turned to look what he saw. There were ten men on horseback watching at us.

''Come on, let's go Nikki,'' he said as we started walking away from them. Hoping to never run into them again.

y.1926

As I looked the mail in front of me, the bills I would have to pay, I almost started crying. Almost. Where the heck I'm gonna get the money to pay them. I just lost my job as a waiter at the local bar and getting a new one to pay the bills was impossible. But hey it wasn't my fault I bunched that guy. I had already told him to keep his hands to himself. But did he? NO! So I had to remind him. But unfortunately that reminder cost me my job as a waiter. Not that I'm going to especially miss the place. The boss was creep who was just trying to hit on the good looking workers there and for some reason that included me.

And I haven't heard from Rick in ages, at least in year and a half, when he was last time visiting me. I was really starting to miss him. He can be a pain in the ass, but he's still my only brother. And at the same time my only family member. Our mother passed away when I was just five and Rick was nine. Our father, well I never knew him. Rick says that he wasn't a very good father to begin with and then he just took off one day and didn't come back. We were raised in an orphanage after our mother died and when we were old enough we were kicked out. Then we did little bit everything. Most of them were Rick's ideas.

Our last adventure was three years ago back in the French legion and I still wonder who I managed to come back out of it alive. And even if I did say to myself that if Rick gets another stupid idea like that, I'm gonna kick his ass, but now I'm wishing we were in another adventure my usual life no days is so dull and boring. Nothing ever happens around here.

I plowed my unruly golden brown hair out of my face as my blue eyes scanned the road out of my small apartment's window. The streets around here were always so quiet. There wasn't a single soul walking on the street. But what can you expect? This is one of the cheapest houses in Cairo and that means it's on the outskirts of Cairo, barely even in the city.

I suddenly heard a knock on my door and went to open it. There was standing a young, probably fourteen of fifth teen year old, Egyptian boy with black hair and dark brown eyes.

''Can I help you?'' I asked as I leaned to my doorframe.

''Are you Ms. Nicole O'Connell?'' He asked. Oh god how I hated my real name.

''Yes I am. What is it?'' I said.

''I have a letter addressed to you. It's about your brother,'' he said. My brother. What had Rick gotten himself into this time?

''Thank you,'' I said as I took the letter and handed him a five pound bill. He thanked and left without another word. I went inside and opened the letter as I sat down to my taböe next to my pile of unpaid bills and started reading.

Dear Ms. O'Connell

I am very sorry to inform you that your brother, Richard O'Connell, is in our custody in Cairo prison. We are also sorry to inform you that your brother is to be hanged due to his crimes. We would appreciate if you would manage to come and visit him the last time as his only related.

Sincerely

Warden Gad Hassan

If my brother was here right now I'm pretty sure I would have punched him. Hanged? Honestly.

I rip the letter and throw it into the carbide can. I walk to my closet and get my beige button up shirt and roll it sleeves to my elbows. I then take out my brown pants and boots and put them on my slender well build body. I also put my wild curly hair into a low ponytail.

I then exited my apartment and started walking towards Cairo prison in the city. Rick's so gonna get it when I get there.
