Massy Henderson sat in the cab looking at the letter again, the letter that had come 11 years ago bearing the horrible news of her adopted brother's death. The letter was written in a beautiful women's script and signed by a Miss Evelyn Carthanahan. She looked at the letter with resolve before getting out of the cab, maybe these O'Connells could make since of her dreams. She walked up to the door with a purpose, but she never expected that by simply knocking on that door she would become thrown into the most amazing ride of her life.
I
was nervous, would these people help me? What exactly should I tell
them, hi, I'm Massy Henderson and I was just wondering if you could
help me decipher my strange dreams? Oh yeah, and in my dreams I am
the sister of the very monster that killed my adopted brother Andrew?
I sighed, lifted my hand and knocked on the door. I heard the sound
of feet running down the stairs, and then the door opened to reveal a
very tiered looking young woman. Behind her was a very handsome man
that looked oddly familiar.
"May I help
you?"
I
looked at the young woman before me, she looked to be about 17 with
midnight blue eyes and red-brown hair. She was dressed in a loose
white shirt, with brown pants and gladiator-looking sandals. It was
strange clothing for rainy London. Suddenly, as I looked at her she
was dressed in the clothes of an ancient Egyptian priestess of
Anubis. Just as suddenly she was back to the girl I had first seen
when I opened the door.
"May I help you? I asked. She looked
at me for a moment before answering.
"May I speak to Miss
Evelyn Carthanahan please?"
"It's Evelyn O'Connell
now, but please just call me Evy," I said with a smile as I
stuck out my hand. She shifted her bags to shake my hand.
"Massy
Henderson"
"Won't you come
in?"
"So
all of that really happened?" I questioned, amazed by what she
had just told me.
"Yes it did, now you had said something
about having strange dreams?"
"Yes, for about three
months now."
"Strange, because I have been having dreams
and visions for about that long as well."
"I'll be
right back." Rick said. He got up and began to walk along a
nearby bookshelf before finding a book and quickly thumbing through
the pages. "You both said three months, right?"
"Yes,
why?" Evy asked him as he walked back toward us.
"Because
exactly three months ago was the Egyptian new year" he said as
he handed Evy the book he had just gotten from the shelf.
"You look nothing like him" said the man, whom I had
been told was Evy's husband, Rick.
"I was adopted from a
small orphanage in Cairo" I said in way of explanation. "He
was never the best brother, but he was the only family I had
left."
Evy looked at me with a sad look in her eye before
noticing something behind me. I turned to look at what had gotten her
attention and saw, hanging off the corner of the bookshelf, a pair of
women's tights.
"Rick," Evy said turning to him, "those
aren't mine."
Then, as if with one mind they both
said,
"Jonathan."
As Rick walked off to find this
Jonathan Evy turned to me and asked,
"Would you like to meet
my son, Alex?"
We
walked into another room full of artifacts to see a young blonde boy
fiddling with a golden box, beside it I saw a gold medallion with a
scorpion on it.
"Massy this is my son Alex, Alex this is
Massy Henderson." Alex smiled at me as his mom looked at a chest
sitting on the table next to her.
"Alex," she asked,
"Where's the key to the chest?"
Alex looked around for a
moment before shrugging. As Evy began to pat him down I picked up the
medallion. It was small, without a single flaw; and as I held I had a
vision of the past where I was using the medallion to protect myself.
Once the vision finished I looked around just as a dark-skinned man
dressed in red appeared in the doorway.
"Good evening,"
his voice was slimy and laced with malice. Evy moved to one side of
the room and grabbed a sword.
"Get. Out. Of. My. House."
Alex piped up from the back of the room as more people in red
showed themselves.
"Mum, I don't think that's a very good
idea."
"Smart boy, now give us the chest and the
medallion and no one will be hurt." behind me I heard the
scraping of the chest being pulled off the table as I clutched the
medallion in my hand, I knew the power it held and would use it if
need be. Suddenly a Maji appeared in front of me, he was dressed in
black that looked strangely familiar. Evy appeared to know him as
well. Chaos ensued once he appeared and I found myself fighting a
rather large bald man with a long pale scar on the side of his head.
As I used my powers to throw a rather large statuette at him I felt
myself be grabbed from behind and pulled out of the room. I fought
the arms that had grabbed me but they were to strong. As I was pulled
into a car I felt a sweet-smelling cloth pressed against my face. The
last thing I remembered before I blacked out was hearing Evy call for
Rick.
There
was loud chanting and a burning smell when I awoke. I sat up and
realized that my wrists and ankles were bound and I was next to Evy
on a large plank of wood. All around me were men dressed in red,
and in the center of the room sat an amber-looking blob. Next to me
Evy groaned as she sat up and looked around. When she saw what was
going on she gasped.
"They found him."
"Who?"
I asked, apparently out of the loop.
"Imhotep."
