HI EVERYONE!

So, I would like to welcome you all to the second installation of Jasmine's story. This is the second movie, and I really hope that you all enjoy this story as much as Pharaoh's Daughter was enjoyed. You are all such amazing fans, and I'm so happy that Jasmine has gotten such a positive response from Mummy fans!

Disclaimer: I only own Jasmine, and no one else, as you all know already :)

Chapter One

Jasmine O'Connell sat in an ancient room, deep in Egyptian ruins, writing a letter. The past eight years had been very kind to the now twenty-six year old woman. Her hair remained the same length, but had gotten slightly wave, and her skin had gotten slightly tanner. She now wore a simple dark blue blouse, and black pants, with black boots. On her finger was a gold ring, with a kunzite gem sparkling in the middle, and around her neck was a sapphire gem teardrop. These two pieces of jewelry Jasmine never removed from her body, because they acted as her link, and reminder of who waited for her every day, and who she wrote her letters to. Evie looked at her adopted daughter from where she had been working on the hieroglyphs .

"Writing another letter to Ardeth?" she asked, and Jasmine looked at her mother, and nodded with a happy smile. Evie held back a smile of her own. One way to get Jasmine O'Connell smiling and happy was to mention a certain Medjai chieftain, and Evie made sure to do that at least once a day. She knew her daughter missed Ardeth terribly, but the two kept in constant contact, sending letters to one another every day. Suddenly, a shout startled them both, making Jasmine jump slightly.

"What was that?" she asked, and Evie looked around the corner quickly, but saw nothing but cobwebs and dust.

"I'm not sure. Hopefully your father will tell us." She replied, and Jasmine smirked.

"He probably was that noise." She said, and Evie laughed lightly. Jasmine stood, grabbing a brush from her own kit, and helping her mother brush away the dust of the hieroglyphs. The picture showed two women facing off against one another, and something in the image made Jasmine tense. She looked down at her feet, and saw a black and red snake hissing past.

"Go away." She said, and nudged her boot underneath the snake, and kicked it away, letting out a laugh as her father turned the corner, narrowly dodging the snake.

"Those are poisonous, you know." Rick informed the two girls as he approached them. Jasmine grinned at him.

"Only if they bite you." Evie said absentmindedly.

"What was all that about?" Jasmine asked, referring to the noise only minutes before.

"Nothing. Alex wanted to show me something. I swear..." Rick said, lifting a box of tools from the table, and bringing it closer to the wall. Evie turned to face him with a smile. "The kid gets more and more like you every day." Jasmine rolled her eyes good-naturedly as she watched her parents interact.

"You mean more attractive, sweet... and devilishly charming?" Evie said, her smile turning into more of a smirk.

"No, he's driving me crazy." Rick replied, leaning in and kissing his wife.

"No PDA in front of your daughter, please!" Jasmine interrupted, and Rick and Evie simply laughed. "Now, where were we?" Rick asked, after kissing Jasmine's head gently.

"Hammer and chisel." Jasmine said happily, handing her father a small hammer and chisel. Rick looked at her and Evie, incredulous.

"All right, all right! Let's do it your way." Evie said with a sigh, handing Rick a crowbar. He grinned at them.

"Thank you." He replied, and forcefully hit the wall, making it fall backwards. Jasmine winced slightly, as Evie grabbed a torch, and walked into the dark room the wall revealed.

"Ever since I had that dream... this place is all I can think about." Evie muttered to herself, stepping down and carefully avoiding the scorpions and spiders littering the floor. Jasmine followed her, and looked around, a strange sense of familiarity filling her. She had been in the room before, somehow.

"Ever since you had that dream, I haven't had a decent night of sleep." Rick replied, jumping down from the stone slab, the unpleasant sound of bugs crunching filling the air.

"I feel like I've been here before." Evie said, almost in a trance. Jasmine couldn't help but agree.

"Me too. It's like my dreams of Kida." She said, and Evie and Rick looked at her. "I'm getting the same sort of feeling that I did when I first saw Ardeth."

"You think Princess Kida was a part of this?" Rick asked her.
"I'm not sure. This place just feels so familiar." Jasmine replied, and Evie nodded.

"However, I feel like I've actually been here before." She said, and Rick sighed.

"Evie, nobody's been here before, not in at least 3,000 years. Except for these guys." He told his wife, waving his torch around at the skeletons lining the walls. Evie reached over to the wall, and pulled a lever, which opened a secret door. She looked back at Rick and Jasmine.

"Then how do I seem to know exactly where I'm going?" she wondered, leading them down the dark hall. Jasmine looked around the new room they entered, and felt Kidashka's memories fill her mind.

"Tiri, are you sure this is the safest place to hide the bracelet?" Kidashka asked her sister as she locked the Bracelet of Anubis in an ornate box, and handed the key to one of the guards, who then placed it around his neck.

"Yes, Dashka. Father has entrusted us with this responsibility. Besides, the hieroglyphs will punish whoever attempts to open the chest." Nefertiri assured her sister, and Kidashka sighed in resignation.

"Very well. Guard this with your life until my sister and I return tomorrow." She said, and looked at the guards, who both bowed.

"Of course, Princesses." One of the guards said. Nefertiri and Kidashka walked beside one another as they left the chamber, and Nefertiri close the door behind them, locking it. The twin daughters of Seti I walked out of the catacombs and up to the surface, where two Medjai warriors waited for them. Kidashka smiled, and walked over to Asim, taking his hand.

"Ready to leave, Princesses?" Oris asked with a smile. Nefertiri smiled back at him.

"Of course." She replied, and the four turned to leave.

Jasmine's vision faded back into the dark room, and she saw Evie waving her torch around, a frantic look in her eyes. Rick was attempting to pry the door open, and he looked at his wife in confusion.

"If you move that fast enough, you can almost write your name." he remarked, and Jasmine giggled.

"I just had a vision. It was like my dream, but it was real. It was like I was actually here in ancient Asim." Evie said, still looking around the room in shock.

"Well, if you actually were here... could you show me how to open this thing?" Rick asked, and Evie and Jasmine approached him.

"Hold this." Evie said, handing her husband her torch. She brushed away the cobwebs on the knob, and turned it correctly, which made Jasmine raise an eyebrow in shock.

"Now you're starting to scare me." She remarked, and Evie gave her a small smile.

"I'm starting to scare myself." She replied, opening the door. The three walked into a small room, where two skeletons stood, and a chest rested between them. A golden disk was above the box, and Jasmine approached it, brushing away the dust. She gasped.

"That's the emblem of the Scorpion King." She said in surprise, and she looked down at the box. She had a suspicion of what was inside. "He's supposed to be pure myth. No trace of him has ever been found before. No artifacts. No archival evidence." Evie stood on her other side, looking at the box as well.

"Let's open this." The Englishwoman said, and Rick held up a hand.

"Evie, I don't know. I don't have a good feeling about this." He warned, and Evie scoffed slightly.

"It's only a chest. No harm ever came from opening a chest." She shot back.

"Right, and no harm ever came from reading a book. Remember how that one went?" Rick replied, and Jasmine shivered at the memory.

"Ugh. Don't remind me." She said, and Rick looked at her apologetically.

"Come on. We can't stop now." Evie said urgently, and Rick sighed, tapping her hand with his crowbar, which she took.

"Just remember, I was the voice of reason here. For once." Rick said, muttering the last part under his breath, making Jasmine smile. She looked at the skeleton, and her vision came back to her. She brushed her fingers around the bones, and felt a necklace handing around the neck. She pulled it off, and tapped her mother's shoulder

"Mum, look." Jasmine said, and Evie looked down, and took the key. She put it against the box, and turned it. The box popped open, and the three eldest O'Connells crowded around, looking at what was inside. Evie gasped slightly.

"The bracelet of Anubis." She murmured, holding it gently. Jasmine looked at the gold bracelet in awe, until the entire room began to shake violently.

"Oh, my God!" she exclaimed as she lost her footing slightly. Evie dropped the bracelet back into the box, shutting it.

"It's a bit late for that!" Rick exclaimed as the shaking of the room grew louder. Evie picked up the box, shoving it at Rick.

"Put it in your rucksack, Dad!" Jasmine said, and Rick looked at her with wide eyes.

"Let's leave it here." He shot back.

"It's a bit late for that!" Evie said, and looked down at the hieroglyphs on top of the box.

"What's it say?" Jasmine asked, a sense of foreboding settling on her shoulders.

"'He who disturbs this bracelet... shall drink from the Nile.' That doesn't sound too bad." Evie translated with a shrug. Rick put the box into his rucksack, just as the wall beside the group exploded, revealing a rush of water.

"RUN!" Jasmine screamed, and Rick grabbed hers and Evie's hands, and pulled them down the hall, weaving through the maze-like catacombs, until they reached a dead end. The sound of rushing water became louder and louder, and Rick pulled both his girls close to his chest as the water rushed into them. Luckily, there was a small grate above them, and the three grasped the bars.

"This is bad, girls." Rick said, gasping for breath.

"We've had bad before, Dad." Jasmine replied, feeling her grip beginning to slip on the wet metal.

"This is worse." Evie said, just as the water flooded above their heads. There was a panic-filled moment where Jasmine thought she would drown, and that she would never see Ardeth again, but then the stone wall behind them burst, and they fell out, along with the water. Jasmine coughed harshly, spitting water out of her mouth, and hearing her parents doing the same. She checked her ring finger and neck for her ring and necklace, before looking up into the eyes of her eight-year old brother, Alex O'Connell.

"Mom? Dad? Jazzy? I can explain everything." Alex said, and Jasmine stood, hugging her brother tightly. Alex hugged her back. The two siblings, despite not being related by blood, were as close as could be. Alex idolized his big sister, and Jasmine was highly protective of her baby brother.

"You okay, Al?" Jasmine asked, inspecting her brother all over as their parents stood up shakily.

"I'm fine, Jazzy. But there were these men looking for you! Two were looking through the artifacts, and another went after you with a gun!" Alex rambled, and Rick smiled down at him, ruffling his dark blonde hair.

"We're alright, kiddo." He promised, and Evie knelt, kissing his cheek, and pulling him close.

"Why don't we all go home, sweetheart." She said, and Alex nodded happily. As Rick let his family out of the ruins, Jasmine felt a strange sense of dread wash over her. This day was just the beginning of something that would change their lives. Again.

I hope that you all enjoyed the first chapter, and I promise that I'll have the next chapter up in a few days!
