Chapter 2

"Woah, Yina did you see that?" I asked Yina, as I stared at the glowing tablet.

"See what? All I can see is the wall remember? I'm getting creaped out now. We should go back Kari."

I had the same feeling she did; it felt like something wasn't right. I got off of her shoulders when we heard a blow horn, then Mr. Robinson yelling,

"Times up you guys, you will get more time tomorrow. Come to the Aquarium part of the museum, that's where we'll be sleeping."

"We better get going."

I nodded in agreement, and we walked all the way to the aquarium. I realized that I didn't have my back pack.

"Crap!" I shouted.

"What is it?" Questioned Yina.

"I must have left my backpack in the tomb! I'm going to go get it."

"Alright, just come back quickly."

I ran down the hallways almost slipping and falling down to the floor. I was in such a rush, that I actually fall down a couple times and scraped up my arms. I cursed lightly at the pain. When I finally got to the tomb, something felt strange; it felt like I was being watched, it was the same feeling I had before. I shrugged off the feeling and continued the search for my backpack. I looked at the tablet once more, it really was beautiful. I snapped out of my trance by shaking my head, and then I saw my backpack right below the tablet.

"There you are! How dare you run off like that, you nearly scared me half to death!" I shouted at the inanimate backpack like it was a living thing. I chucked at the fact that it couldn't talk back.

I turned around only to see two giant spears in my face, with the giant jackals behind them, and I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to scream my head off to already the whole museum of my dilemma. So I slowly walked up to the jackals by staying close to the wall, and then I went into a full sprint for the exit. When I got out of the tomb I was out of breath. I sat down on the floor for a bit to catch my breath, that's when I realized that every exhibit was moving, my jaw dropped and I was completely astounded. That's when I freaked out, that's when I decided to head for the lobby. When I got there I found the T-Rex running around. It looked at me and roared. I froze for a minute or so, my brain was racing. I didn't know what was happening. Then I ran towards to the aquarium as fast as I could. In there I figured that I'd be safe from all of this, but when I go there the doors were locked. I pulled as hard as I could, but they wouldn't budge. I turned around only to see Huns shouting and pointing at me from the end of the hallway.

"Oh, shit!"

They charged at me, I tried to run away from them, but that was an epic failure. Four of them grabbed my arms and legs and they started to pull in different directions. I closed my eyes from the pain, and then I let out a loud scream in pain. Then I heard more foot steps, then someone speaking in a foreign language. The next thing I knew I was dropped to the floor. I let out a little moan of pain, and then sat up only to find a boy. He looked around nineteen to early twenties.

"I am so sorry about that. The Huns like to rip limbs off from any moving thing they find," said the boy, he had a slight British accent.

I looked up only to see an Egyptian, he wore a gold crown, and nice jeweled necklace. I continued to stare at the boy. He noticed that I was staring at him. He waved his hand in front of my eyes.

"Um hello? Are you alright?" He asked me.

"Huh, oh sorry I zoned out." I started. "I must be dreaming or going insane. That's it I'm insane!" I replied.

"No, you're not insane. The whole museum comes to life at night. Although I thought Larry was going to stop that just for tonight since there'd be people here," he trailed off and finally got a good look at me. He held out his hand, I just looked at it for a minute or so. I grabbed his hand and he helped me to my feet. "I am Ahkmenrah, fourth king of the fourth kind, ruler of the land of my fathers." I tried not to laugh at his introduction.

"I am Kari, but I don't have any fancy title after that." I giggled slightly.

"I must let Larry know that you are here, and he probably doesn't know that the museum if alive tonight." I just looked at him, trying to let my brain process with the night's events. "What are you even doing in the museum anyway? Larry didn't tell us why."

"My school concert band played here tonight for the re-opening."

"Ah, so that's what I heard."

"What do you mean 'you heard'? Aren't you, uh, you know . . . dead?"

"During the day I can hear while I'm sleeping. It was truly lovely music."

I smiled at his complement, and then I heard someone coming our way.

"Ahk, there you are," said a man in a security guard uniform.
