Chapter One: The Lost
Disclaimer: I don't own "The Mummy" or it's characters. My characters Kaylee, Amber,and Naylor are mine so if you want to take their names...knock your self out...jerks!
A/N: This was from my old account that for the love of everything... I cannot remember the password. I'm really Kaylee and I REALLY wrote this 4 years ago. Good times. I owed it to all my new and old friends to edit and fix a few things.
"We're so lost!"
"Hey Amber, Newsflash: We're not lost! We just got turned around..and separated from the tour guide, that's all." Kaylee said referring to her map again.
"We're lost." Naylor pointed out.
"Told you not to stop and take pictures of that book-thingy." Amber said accusingly.
"That 'book-thingy' was the book of the dead! It's a very important historical artifact." Kaylee shot a disapproving glare at Amber who had rolled her eyes.
"Can't you just go home and read about it in one of your millions of Egyptian books?" Naylor said with a sigh and sat down on a nearby bench.
"Because, my books at home only have pictures of the book. I needed to see it for real!" Kaylee snapped. Kaylee studying Ancient Civilizations for college had dragged her two best friends Naylor and Amber to London's Museum to see it before it was moved some where else.
"Right, so we're lost in a museum in the middle of the night, surrounded by a bunch of wrapped up dead dudes, a ton of these weird picture word thingies, and some old book. Did I miss anything?" Amber said sarcastically.
"First off, We're not lost. Secondly, they're called mummies. Thirdly, they're called Hieroglyphics. Lastly, it's called 'The Book of the Dead'!" Kaylee said quickly losing her temper.
"Right, what else could go wrong?" Amber sighed.
"The museum is now closed." A voice said over the intercom.
"What have I told you about saying that while we're on vacation!" Naylor snapped.
"My bad." Amber whispered. "Now what? I don't think breaking and entering was on our to do list."
"Don't panic, we just need to go and find a security guard to let us out." Kaylee said pulling out a flashlight from her purse when the lights flickered off.
"That's the first good idea you've had all night." Amber said taking another flashlight from Kaylee's purse.
"Hey, what else you got in that purse?" Naylor asked.
"A girl never reveals the contents of her purse, except to other girls." Kaylee whispered as the walked along the dark corridor. Kaylee froze, "Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Naylor whispered.
"No wait, I hear something too." Amber whispered as well.
"You hear it too?" Kaylee asked hopefully.
"It sounds like...like BORDEM!" Amber giggled.
"Not funny." Kaylee hissed. "I really hear something."
"Actually, it was a little funny." Naylor laughed, but then slowed his walk to a creep. "I do hear something. It sounds like chanting."
"Or meditating...where's that coming from?" Amber whispered.
"This way." Kaylee whispered, "Let's go check it out."
"Kaylee, wait, I have a really bad feeling about this. What if it's something bad?" Amber begged.
"Oh, come on, amber. What's the worst that could happen?" Naylor whispered.
"You said not to say that! Cause it always goes bad when we say that!" Amber snapped.
"It's coming from over here. This way you two." Kaylee said.
"I don't wanna hear it when the shit hits the fan from either of you." Amber hissed.
The trio turned a corner and saw a strange glow coming from the balcony which over looked the courtyard. "That wasn't like that durning the tour." Kaylee whispered. "The chanting is coming from down there. Let's go check it out."
"Kaylee, maybe Amber's right. This has 'slasher flick' written all over it." Naylor said cautiously.
"Chickens, we're just taking a peek."
"Wasn't that in a movie somewhere? Kaylee, get back here!" Amber demanded quietly.
Kaylee snuck through the shadows and took a peek around the corner of a pillar. "Whoa..."
"What? Kaylee, what's going on down there?" Amber whispered from the shadows.
"You've got to see this." Kaylee said.
Amber appeared at Kaylee's side and peeked over her shoulder, "What are they doing?"
Down in the courtyard below them was a group of guys bowing and chanting around a funcky looking rock. Torches light the courtyard and gave it an eerie glow to top it off. "Naylor, get over here and check this out."
"What are they saying?" Naylor whispered once he reached the pillar next to them.
"It's Egyptian, but I can't make it out." Kaylee hummed.
"Look!" Amber said ducking out of sight for a moment into the shadows. "Is that lady alive?"
"What lady?" Kaylee asked, but her question was answered when a lady in a black dress was carried out on a table. She was either dead or unconscious and tied up, which mostly meant...the shit had finally hit the fan.
"Naylor, toss me you're phone." Kaylee whispered.
"Why?" He said tossing it in the air to her.
She barely caught it and took a deep sigh of relief when it was safely in her hand. "Who taught you how to throw? I'm calling the cops. This crazy cult stuff is getting weird." She tired to dial the number, but to her utter disappointment there was no signal. "Shit, no signal."
"We've got to call the police!" Amber said. "There has to be a phone around here somewhere."
"Look, over there!" Kaylee pointed across the courtyard. There was an emergency phone box behind some crates out of sight from the worshipers.
"ARE YOU CRAZY! Me? Go down there?" Naylor stammered. "You've gone completely crazy, Kaylee."
"You're always saying how Ninja you are. So prove it!" Kaylee said.
"Fine, but if I die. I swear I'm coming back to get you both." Naylor said before checking if the coast was clear before jumping down to the lower level. He ducked just before to guards walked past.
"Oh, he'll come back for us no matter what." Amber said lovingly.
"Amber, I think he meant...'GET' us." She said moving her finger across her throat.
Amber's face drained of a couple shades of color and turned back into the shadows. She bumped into something. "Ow...what the hell?" She flicked on her flashlight and came face to face with a dark haired man with tattoos on his face. She open her mouth to scream, but he covered her mouth quickly with his hand. The strength he possessed forced her backwards onto her back and out of the shadows. Kaylee's horror stricken face came into view. She angerly stepped forward to punch him, but the stranger was quicker. He grabbed her wrist and twisted hard, causing her to drop to her knees.
"Silence you two." He whispered harshly.
"Let go of us," Kaylee growled. "We've done nothing wrong."
"Shh.." He snapped.
"You did not just 'Shh' me!" Kaylee growled as he released her wrist and uncovered Amber's mouth. She was rubbing her wrist when she noticed his gun. "Are you the security guard?"
The stranger glared at them before saying, "What, no. Who are you two and what are you doing here?"
"My name is Kaylee and this is my friend Amber." Kaylee said.
"Who you so rudely attacked!" Amber growled.
"My apologies, but you two are in grave danger if you stay here a moment longer." he said.
"We're not leaving without...Naylor!"
Naylor has reappeared beside the stranger with a heavy statue raised like a weapon above the stranger's head. "Girls, get behind me. Who are you?"
"Naylor, it's okay. He's a good guy...I think." Amber said. "Are you a good guy." She whispered scooting closer to Naylor.
"As good as you'll meet." he said shifting his weapon to his hip and held out his hand to Amber. "My name is Ardeth Bay, I am a descendant of the Meji warriors, here to protect mankind from that." He pointed to the strange rock the group seemed to be worshiping.
"A rock?" Amber asked.
"Right," Ardeth whispered, "That is no rock, my oblivious friends. That contains the body of the high priest Imhotep."
"Ew." Kaylee and Amber said together.
"So, what are they doing?" Asked Naylor.
"They're trying to bring him back to life."
"Okay," Amber said calmly. " This shit just got weird."
"Hold your horses," Naylor said. "It looks like it might just get weirder."
