Tanya's belongings and newly bought items had been packed away and they had said their last goodbyes and Tanya had boarded the plane
She found her seat, put away her Gucci bag on the compartment above, sat down and buckled her seat
The flight attendant had went through a few safety precautions and then they sat off
Tanya read her book "Pride And Prejudice" for an hour and then the blonde haired boy sitting next to her said
"Hi"
"Hey" she replied putting away her book
They sat for the next five minutes in uncomfortable silence
"I'm Alex O'Connell" he said
"I'm Tanya Brooks" she said
"You going to Egypt?" he asked
"Yup"
"Same here, I'm gonna see my parents there, again" he said
"So this isn't you're first time alone on a plane?"
"Nope"
"Lucky you"
"You haven't been on a plane alone? I've been dozen's of times" he said
"Lucky you" she said again
"So you going on Holiday?" he asked
"Yup, to Thebes" she said smiling
"Same here" he said
And eventually through the 10 hour flight they had become friends and when they arrived at Thebes they discovered they discovered they were staying at the same hotel and then she was introduced to his parents and then they prepared for the tour that Alex's uncle John ran
The Tour
"This is seriously boring" Alexa said
"Definitely" Tanya agreed fanning herself with her Chinese style fan
"Let's ditch it" Alexa said
"Yeah" Tanya agreed and then went into a Pyramid to explore a little
In The Pyramid
"The air is absolutely filthy" Tanya said disgusted
"Yeah, pass me that flashlight" Alexa said and Tanya passed him another one from her bag
"Look at these!" Alexa marvelled as he saw round jewel encrusted things in the wall
"They're beautiful" Tanya said and then saw a red handprint made out of rubies and placed hand on it
It was a perfect fit and then the wall collapsed backwards which fell on another wall that fell on a another wall that fell on another wall
Tanya gulped and said
"I didn't do it" and then they went deeper into the pyramid stepping over the fallen walls
When they reached the end they found themselves in a chamber with a sarcophagus in the middle
It was roughly made with chipped bits on the ends and its original coat black put the paint had peeled so the rough wood work was exposed
They walked over to it and on it was a square carved into it
It was about the size of a huge book with lines leading out of it and all over the sarcophagus like a huge spider web
"Poor guy" Tanya said
"Let's open it" Alexa said
"No, let's just leave him be and wish him peace" Tanya said
"Fine then, but you owe me" he said crossing his arms
"Deal"
Then Alex turned and stood on something, a brick on the floor and then something huge and solid fell out of the ceiling and onto the sarcophagus's square
It was a huge black book with ancient Egyptian writing inscribed onto it
"What does it say?" Alex asked and then Tanya said
"That which is not dead may eternally lie and in strange aeons even death may die"
There was a huge thump as the book slid deeper into its square
They held their breaths
There was another thump and the lines that came from the book which went all over the sarcophagus were filled with light that came from the book and then it stopped
They sighed and then the sarcophagus lid slid open
They stood there rooted to the spot with fear
The lid fell on the floor with a huge thump and something stirred within its dusty depths
Something alive
It stepped out of the sarcophagus
It was the remnants of a decayed man
It was disgusting with fragments of flesh hanging off by mere ligaments
It stared at Tanya for a few minutes and then cocked its head slightly as if it was remembering her
It seemed to recognise her and then reached out for her saying
"Come with me, Sekhmet"
She stepped back
"Since when did Imhotep English?" Alexa asked and then he remembered "Oh yeah, RUN!" and then they spun on their hells and sprinted off
They first ran together and then were separated in the maze of tunnels and passages
Imhotep followed Tanya walking at a fast pace calling her
"Sekhmet!"
"My name is Tanya, not Sekhmet!" she yelled back
He continued until they reached a dead end
She stopped back against the wall, her forehead beaded with sweat and her heart racing
"Come with me, Sekhmet" he said holding out his hand
"My name is Tanya" she panted
The wall behind her fell and light poured in and a shadow was cast over the gloomy depths of the tunnel
She felt a warm hand on her shoulder
She looked up and saw it was a man
He was dressed in black with tattoos on his face
"Come with me" he said and then he beckoned het out and she ran after him
Imhotep didn't follow for he was vulnerable to open daylight at this time for he still needed to regenerate
