Here is the awaited sequel to the story 'True Love can Withstand any Barrier' Ahkmenrah has been given a second chance at life and he is enjoying the new world with October. Soon an new danger arises and everyone will have to work together to defeat this new evil. I hope you enjoy it.

It has been five months since Ahkmenrah was given a second chance at life. It was hard adjusting to this new life, but he had Larry, Rebecca, Nick and of course October to help him. He used the name Matthew in public. For awhile Ahkmenrah forgot that was his name so he never answered to it, but he eventually got use to it.

Osiris, God of the Underworld, created another mummy to put in place in Ahkmenrah's sarcophagus. That way no one will suspect anything. October was impressed that he could do that.

For the first month October and Rebecca had been working hard to get Ahkmenrah a birth certificate and a social security card. It took a while, but they finally got that all done and now know one would even know he was a 3,000 year old mummy that was brought back to life.

October had convinced Dr. McPhee to let Ahkmenrah have a job at the museum as a second night guard. It was an easy job for him since he didn't need to know a lot about the new world. October always had to show him how to cash his check since he forgot. With both of them working and making money they were able to move out of Larry and Rebecca's place and got their own apartment.

Larry and Rebecca were still together, but they were having problems with their relationship. Larry was still trying to get his business going and doing that he was spending less time with Rebecca. October could see that was hurting her sister, but there was nothing she could do to help.

Ahkmenrah was still amazed the he was really alive. He enjoyed every minute of his new life and spending time with October. He loved her cooking and trying the new food of this world.

It was a cold winter morning and even though October enjoyed the winter she hated the cold. She never did well in the cold. This morning seemed especially cold even though the heater was on. October snuggled in her warm blankets, not wanting to get up.

"October my love, it's time to get up."

"Just five more minutes." October said sleepily.

"You said that ten minutes ago. If you don't get up you're going to be late."

October sighed. "Fine."

October reluctantly got out of the bed and looked at Ahkmenrah who was wearing nothing but his boxers. October smiled at him.

"You like what you see?" Ahkmenrah smiled.

"Of course I do." October walked to him and gave him a kiss. "Is there coffee ready?"

"Yes."

"That's good."

October had taught Ahkmenrah how to make coffee and even though he didn't like it October did and the young pharaoh learned that if she didn't have coffee in the morning she can be a little mean.

October made herself some coffee and a bowl of cereal then sat at the table and turned on the small TV that was on the kitchen counter. Nothing was on except the news which was boring.

When October was done eating she rinsed out her bowl and put it in the dish washer.

"Are you all right?" Ahkmenrah asked. "You've been quiet this morning. Have you been having those dreams again?"

"Yes, but last night wasn't as bad as the others. This time she was just stealing from a group of travelers in the desert."

Ever since Keket had possessed October she would some times have dreams of her past. Sure it happened when she was possessed, but they know she isn't now so they don't know why she keeps having the dreams. Ahkmenrah had been worried because some times the dreams would be so bad and vivid that October would wake up in a cold sweat. He felt helpless. October wasn't as worried like everyone else. She just assumed that since Keket was once apart of her that she now has her memories.

"Well, I should get going." October said. "I'll see you later." October kissed Ahkmenrah then grabbed her backpack and headed out.

After some thinking October finally figured out what she was going to do with her life. She was going to go back to college and become a history teacher. She still loves Egypt, but she thinks her life is headed in a different direction.

When October walked out of her apartment she saw that a new blanket of snow on the ground. She walked to the bus stop and noticed that people were getting ready for Christmas. She was so excited. This would be the first Christmas that she shares with Ahkmenrah and it will be his first true Christmas. October was going to make it special for him.

October couldn't wait until after Christmas because her history class will be studying ancient Egypt. She knew she was going to do well in that area. Right now they were finishing up about Romans. October asked Octavius for help on some things and he was more then happy to help her out. Jededaiah got a little jealous, but October told him that they would be learning about cowboys soon.

October soon got to school and made her way to her class.

Back at home Ahkmenrah was watching TV when he heard the door open. He looked at the clock. It was too early for October to be back so it must either be Larry or Rebecca. He looked over and saw that it was Rebecca who was carrying two boxes.

"Let me help you." He said as he went over to Rebecca and took one of the boxes from her.

"Thanks." Rebecca put the other box on the table.

"What's in the boxes?"

"I found some Christmas decorations so I thought October would like to decorate the apartment."

"Yes, she's been wanting to do that for awhile. She was going go go over to your place to see if you had any."

"Well, I saved her the trouble." Rebecca smiled.

"So how are you and Larry doing?"

Rebecca's smile faded. "We are still having problems. I try to support him with his business, but we haven't spent much time together."

"I'm sure things will work out. He is very excited about starting his business."

"You do know that if his business does succeed he probably won't be working at the museum any more? And who knows what the net person will be like."

Ahkmenrah had never thought about that. What would happen if Larry got his business together and they replaced him with someone who wasn't as kind as Larry?

"I still believe everything will work out."

Rebecca smiled. "I think some of October is rubbing off on you. I'll see you two tonight." Then she left.

It was three o'clock by the time October headed home room school. When the bus was at her stop she walked off, but didn't see the ice. Once her foot stepped down she slipped and fell right in the snow. Her face turned red as people around her just stared. She quickly got up and headed to her apartment. By the time she got home she was very cold and wet.

"October, what happened?" Ahkmenrah asked when he saw her.

"I slipped on some ice and fell in the snow."

Ahkmenrah shook his head. "You're so clumsy."

"Yeah, but you still love me."

"That's true."

October went in the bedroom and started changing into some dry clothes.

"Rebecca stopped by today."

"What did she want?"

"She brought two boxes with Christmas decorations."

October smiled. "That saves me a trip over there. It will be fun to put the decorations up. I think you will like Christmas."

"Will you explain to me again what Christmas is?"

"Christmas is a holiday where families get together and they buy presents for one another. You hang up stockings and we have a Christmas tree that we can decorate. That reminds me we need to get one soon."

"Why do you hang up stockings?"

"Well, it's and old tradition where you hang them up and Santa fills it with candy and some times toys. Of course Santa is fictional, but little kids believe in him."

"If this Santa isn't real why do you let children believe?"

"It's just good fun. It's like the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and leprechauns."

Ahkmenrah looked at October with confusion. "You have strange traditions."

October laughed. "Yeah I suppose we do."

October went over to the boxes and opened then up. She smiled when she saw the decorations. They brought back good memories.

For the rest of the day October and Ahkmenrah put up the decorations. When they were finished October said it was finally looking like Christmas. Now all they need is a tree.

So there is the first chapter of the sequel. I hope you all enjoyed it and there will be more soon.
