This is the next part of my Ardeth bay story. Like I said before it follows the film but hey I tried to put my own little twist on it so here we go
I walked into the museum of Antiquities, just coming back from my lunch break. As I walked into the library part of the museum I saw one of my good friends Eve on the ladder putting away books. Watching her for a minute I allowed a small smirk to cross on my face as I took in one large breath
"HEY EVE" I shouted this then making her jump and nearly fall off of the ladder
"Oh my, Izzy you made me jump" she said looking down at me with a hand on her heart
"Sorry Eve, I just couldn't resist" I said giving her a smile
"Yes Izzy I know you have to do many things don't you" she answered with a smile of her own
"Anyway eve I have to get going, so I will leave you. Give me a shout if you need anything" I gave her a smile as I walked over to the part of the museum that I worked in.
It was not 10 minutes later when I heard a scream yelling my name. I look up forgetting what I was doing as I ran back to the library thinking that Eve was in trouble. When I got to the library what I saw surprised me, Eve had managed to get herself right on the top of the ladder but the ladder was not balanced on anything but on its own two legs.
"Izzy help me" she shouted just above a whisper but before I could help her she managed to throw herself off balance making the ladder fall into a bookshelf but just like a pack of dominos each bookshelf knocked itself down books flying everywhere.
"Eve are you ok" I asked as I ran over to her helping her up and onto her feet but before she could reply to me a males voice cut in.
"Look at this! Sons of the messiah give me frogs, files, locusts anything but this! Compared to you the other plagues were a joy"
"Now it was not her fault it was an accident" I say trying to help her but the Curator was having none of it
"No Izzy when Ramesses destroyed Syrid that was an accident, but she is a catastrophe" he said pointing at Eve then he turned away from me and looked at her "Now why do I even put up with you"
Eve looked at me then at the Curator "Well you put up with me because I can read and right ancient Egyptian and I am the only person who knows how to properly code and catalogue this library"
Before anybody could say anything else the Curator started to talk "I put up with you because of your mother and father was our finest patrons. Allah rest their souls now clean up this mess" that was his lasts and final words before stalking angrily back to his office.
"Come on Eve I will help you"
"Thank you Izzy"
As we started to clean the mess up we both heard a noise coming from the room down the hall. We both started to make our way down the hallway when Eve decided to shout out
"Abdul, Mohammed, Bob" she asked
I stopped and looked at her with raised eyebrows, as she turned and looked at
"What"
"Eve why the hell did you give dead guys names for?" I asked her as I looked at her like she was crazy like her brother but before we could get into an argument we both heard another noise, moving towards where it came from we came standing by an sarcophagus. Before we could do anything the mummy within the sarcophagus sat up
"AH" I and Eve both screamed while jumping away from the mummy before anything was said laughing came from inside the sarcophagus, Jonathan sat up with his arms around the mummy clearly drunk.
"Jonathan" me and Eve screamed at him as he continued laughing, Eve walked towards him giving him a light slap while telling him to get out which he did.
"Jonathan what are you doing here?" I asked him as Eve went on and sat down
"Hello Izzy, looking lovely as always I see" he said giving me a smile as I returned it
"Never going to happen in this life time Jonathan, now what are you doing here" I asked again
"Worth a try though. Well ladies I found something mighty interesting" with that said he pulled out what looked like an ancient puzzle box, Eve walked towards us as she got closer she took it out of Jonathans hands and started to play with it. Somehow the box opened showing a piece of paper folded up.
"Please tell me I found something"
"Jonathan I think you have found something" Eve answered him
"Jonathan where did you find this" I asked him
"Found it on a dig down in Thebes"
"Eve I say that we show this to the Curator" I said
"Yes Izzy lets go show him and get his opionion" with that the three of us went to find the curator.
All three of us started walking through the outside of the prison, heading to what it looks like a box cell. How did this happen again I asked myself.
Flashback
We all walked into the Curator's office to find him sat behind his desk.
"How can I help you three" he asked us, still sore about the whole library thing
"Well we found a map, Eve show him" I said as Eve gave him the map
"You see the cartouche seal there, this is the office seal of Seti 1" Eve started
"Just two questions, who the hell was Seti 1, And was he rich?" Jonathan asked I looked at him with a smile on my face same old Jonathan always thinking about money and gold.
"Jonathan he was the second pharaoh of the 19th dynasty" I replied then added "he was suppose to be the richest pharaoh of them all" at that he smiled and started thanking the lord for his find.
"We think this is the map to Hamunaptra" Eve said to the curator we all then started talking when sudden the map caught fire burning off part of the map.
End of flashback
Now I remember how I ended up walking the grounds of the prison. I turned to Jonathan as I had Eves arm around my elbow
"You told us you got it from a dig down in Thebes, you lied to us" I said clearly angry
"Yes well I lie to everybody" he replied before I could answer back we got to the bars where a man came through with chains around his wrists. Looking at the man he seemed very filmier to me like I should know him that when I realised who he was.
"Rick" I whispered to him
"Izzy" he said back
"Rick what the hell, I thought you was dead not in prison" before the man could answer me back Eve cut in
"Izzy you know this man"
"Yea Eve this is my brother" I answered her back
Rick turned his attention to Jonathan "do I know you"
"No I just have one of those faces" before Jonathan could get any other words outs out Rick realised who he was and punched him full force on the chin knocking him on to the ground.
"About damn time" I whispered but Eve heard me and gave a slight playful glare my way, I looked down at Jonathan but when I looked back up I saw my brother and Eve exchange a kiss before he was forced out the door he shouted "GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU"
Eve started to try and make a deal with the prison guard as they prepared to hang him
"Come on Eve" I whispered to her when she turned back to the man trying to make a deal all of a sudden at what seemed like years they sent my brother to hang. I seen everything flash all the times I spent with my brother
"NO RICK" I shouted but just after I shouted a males voice shouted after me. I looked over at Eve to see her smiling at me
"Thank you Eve"
