Why Don't You Pick On Somebody Your Own Size?
Rifiuto: Non Miriena
Summary: After being brought back from the dead by Alex, Evie finds Anck Su Namun fighting Jonathan. Return of the Mummy.
The first thing I see is my son, my beautiful Alex, sitting front of me with the Book of the Dead in his lap. His eyes are wide with surprise, and all I can do is croak out,
"Alex?"
He nods, before throwing the book down and climbing into my arms.
"Mum!"
I hold him, grateful to feel him in my arms once again, and suddenly it hits me that he's the one who brought me back. Just like me, to read Egyptian.
Good boy, Alex.
When he finally pulls away, I get up, stretch my legs, and then turn to him, uncertain of where my husband or brother are. It's then that Alex tells me that Rick is further back in the pyramid, and Jonathan is fighting some woman with long, straight black hair.
Anck Su Namun.
The name rolls off my tongue with the same ease that my wedding vows did, and a shudder quickly rushes up my spine. She was the one who killed my father, who betrayed his trust for a lowly priest...
Who had tried to destory my family.
Being quiet, I rush towards the place Alex said that Jonathan was. I can see her, using the sais on my brother. I glance back quickly at my son.
"Stay here."
He nods as I continue to move forward, towards the two.
I watch her shove Jonathan against the stone, raise her arm...
... and grab her wrist, stopping her, much to her surprise. I glance quickly at my brother, before locking my eyes on hers. In that instant, I can't- and won't- hide the hatred I feel for her.
