As we walked through one of the several tunnels this place offered, I felt like someone or something was following my every move. I turned around and saw Rick staring at me which I gave him a small smile, he just nods and turned around. Sighing I looked straight ahead. I would hear some sound, like echoing, making me scared. I walked over to Rick's side walking behind him, just in case something went down.

This time when we head the sounds again, it was coming closer from the other side of the statue. Rick pulls me closer to him, he then pulls out his gun which causes me to do the same. I was now on high alert and the sound was creeping closer and closer. We were in the corner of the statue, Rick looks at me and I to him, both had our guns out ready for anything then we nod. Rick leaps out and I next to him. The Americans were on the other side, thier guns up, cocked and aimed at us.

"Ya scared the bejeezus out of us, O'Connell"

The man from early said, he then looks at me holding my gun.

"Likewise"

Rick said and no one lowers our guns. From early on, Rick taught me if he doesn't lower his gun then I shouldn't either. He knows what he's doing and I always follow him. Something catches my attention, with my gun still up I looked past their shoulders. Something from behind them was calling out to me, depressedly calling out my name, trying to reach me. Shaking my head I turn to the others, Evy had her hand on Rick's.

"Let's be nice, children, if we're going to play together, we must learn to share"

I laughed a little too loud, making everyone stare at me.

"Oh Evy, you don't know a thing about us Americans. We don't play nice, ain't the right boys?"

I smirked which the American stared at me with a smile and Rick rolled his eyes. Evy pulls us away. We heard them laughing believing they won but we knew better, well Evy knew better.

Rick and Jonathan were using a sled-hammer against the ceiling. I was on the side watching them work.

"If my calculations are correct, we should be in between the legs"

Evy said happily, I looked at her smiling, she was adorable when she got all nerdy.

"And when those dirty Yanks go to sleep..."

He looks at Rick then at me,

"No offense"

he said making me shrug, not caring.

"None taken."

Rick replied.

"We'll sneak up and steal that book right out from under them"

Jonathan finishes and I smiled at him. Rick looks at Evy.

"And you're sure you can find the secret compartment?"

Rick asked having trouble opening the ceiling.

"Yes, those Yanks haven't beaten us yet... no offense"

Evy said.

"None taken"

Rick and I said together. I looked at Jonathan and laughed.

"Jonathan, you're doing a rather poor job on helping Rick"

Jonathans looks at me and rolls his eyes. He stops and turns around, confused.

"Say where did our smelly little friend go?"

Jonathan asked causing us to wonder the same. After a few more tries, we all stay down and rested for a bit. Evy begins to explain the whole mummification process. The entire time she was explaining it, someone or rather something was calling out my name. It sounded as though it was in pain but it wasn't this name, Delilah but my old name Abayomi.

Suddenly I felt some hands grabbed me and pulled me up. Being caught off guard this caused me to scream really loud. Rick shushed me by hugging me closer to him. I looked up and sawdust flies all over the room. A massive stone casement falls off the ceiling and crashed to the floor. When the dust beings to clear, Rick lets go of me. They all walked closer to it but I said behind, scared and feeling so much grief.

"Oh my god... it- it's looks like... it looks like a sarcophagus"

Evy said wiping away the sand. The boy's circle around it.

"Why would they bury somebody in the ceiling?"

Rick asked.

"They didn't they buried him at the foot of Anubis. He was either someone of great importance... or he did something very naughty"

Evy said staring at Rick. I watched as they were talking and walking around but at the same time, I couldn't hear what they were saying nor was I paying attention to what they were doing. All my attention was directed at the sarcophagus. I didn't know why but I had this bad feeling, a terrible feeling something was telling me to run and never turn back. Yet something else was telling me to stay and never leave. I didn't know which one I should listen too.

I suddenly felt someone shaking me. I looked away from the sarcophagus. Rick was in front of me staring at me worried. He wiped a tear away which I didn't even notice that I was even crying.

"Deli-"

He was interrupted by the warden's loud and terrified screamed echoing through the room. We all turned around and took off running, wondering what the hell is happening. We watched warden screaming and dancing like some crazy person. The warden starts to rip off his clothes, Rick and Jonathan grabbed the warden's hand trying to stop him from hurting himself even more. But the warden shoved them away, and runs straight down the hall and slams his head straight into a rock wall. He falls down to the ground, dead.

I gasped and Rick pulled me closer. We all stared eyes wide open, standing there not knowing what to do, breathing hard...

Wondering what the hell happened?

I pulled away from Rick and slowly made my way to the warden. Carefully I bend down and checked his pulse. After a few seconds of not feeling any sort of pulse, I stared at Rick with teary eyes.

"H-he's d-dead"

I said. Rick quickly came to me, carried me and guided the others out of the room. Rick placed me down and started a fire before leaving.

"What do you suppose killed him?"

Evy asked us, shaking my head.

"Did you see him eat?"

I asked they both shook their head. A few seconds later, Rick enjoyed us looking even worse then he left. He turns to me frowning.

"Seems the American ha a little misfortune of their own today. Three of their diggers were... melted"

I looked Rick, eyes wide.

"What?"

John, and I asked at the same time.

"How?"

Evy asked.

"Salt acid... pressurized salt acid... some sort of ancient booby-trap"

Rick said making John gulp.

"Maybe his place is really cursed"

John said making me nod. Then a gust of wind blew past us. Rick, John, and I all shared a nervous look. Evy laughs and we turn to look at her.

"Oh for goodness sake you three..."

"You don't believe in curses"

Rick asked and Evy shook her head.

"No, I believe if I can see it and touch it then it must be real"

She stated and Rick raised his eyebrow at her.

"Well, I believe in being prepared"

He said as he cocks his rifle and gives Evy a big grin. Suddenly Jonathan screams in pain making us jump up.

"What? What is it?"

Rick, Evy, and I screamed out. Jonathans pulls out a liquor bottle from the pouch, the top has been chipped off.

"Seagrams... Well, he may have been a stinky fellow, but he had good taste."

Jonathans said in joy. Rick and Evy laugh but I just smiled and we went to sit back down. Strangle Rick kneels down and sticks his ear to the sand. All of a sudden, gunfires is heard coming from the American's camp. Rick and I jump up, I went to go get my gun as Rick throws Evy the elephant gun.

"Stay here"

He tells her as we both head over to see whats happening. The American's camp was under attack. About two dozen Munia riders raided the camp. Several diggers are killed as they tried to run. The American's come out of their tents firing back, killing many riders. I saw one of the Americans got shot and fell to the gun. I went to his aide until his friends came to get him. After that, I went looking for my brother. I spotted my brother with some man in all black. Somehow this was like seeing a memory, Deja-vu. Rick held a dynamite in his hand.

"Rick"

I shouted at my brother. Both men turn to me and stared, however, the man in all black was staring at me if he saw a ghost.

"Princess Abayomi"

I looked at the man confused, how does he know my name? Something strange happened I felt like I know this man but I never saw him before or even in my dreams. I stared at him directly at his eyes.

"Please, tell the Medjai to stop killing."

I pleaded with him. He then starts back at Rick who was still holding the dynamite.

"Enough"

He shouts making his men stop. He points his scimitar at my brother's head.

"Leave this place... Leave this place or die... you have one day"

He warned us but still staring directly at me. I watch him get on his horse and with no last look at me he rode off. And I watched him and his men faded away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

ArdethPOV:

I was fighting a man who looked like the reincarnation of my old friend, Jabare. He looks the same but with a lighter skin tone than before. He even moved the same so it sort of gave me an advantage here. I wasn't going to kill him, not him maybe the others but not Jabare. And I knew even though he doesn't remember me he wouldn't kill me, maybe hurt me but never kill. Out of the nowhere, he pulls out a dynamite... son of a bitch he did always have to do something dramatic.

Suddenly, I heard the most beautiful voice ever calling out for the man in front of me. I turn to see who voice was it and when I saw the young women running towards us, I was shocked. She hasn't aged a day since I last saw her. Still so ever beautiful so young and so innocent. Why must life be so cruel in taking her away from me from our first life and making this one ripping us apart once again?

"Princess Abayomi"

The name slipped out but she stared at m confused and shocked. Why I do not know... Does she remember who she is? Who was she before? Does she know me?

"Please, tell the Medjai to stop killing"

She pleaded with me. I had to stop myself from smiling. She hasn't changed at all still doesn't like violence. Even after all these years she still stared at me the same. I knew her feeling for me but she didn't know my feeling for her. I knew her feelings because she would always stare at me with love in her eyes, unlike the way she stared at her betrothed, the Priest who betrayed us all. Even though they were promised to one another, I knew her heart belonged to me. If only I wasn't such a coward to tell her how I truly felt perhaps I would have been with her instead of her death the same way her older sister, Princess Nefertiti did.

After I warned them about this place I left and I couldn't help but glance at her. She was already staring at me. I could see her eyes watching my retreating figure. We went up to our usual hill and watched from the distance. My second in command came next to me and turned to me.

"Is that her? The girl from your dreams?"

He asked making me nod. I heard him sigh,

"Ardeth it's only a dream. She might not even know who you are... she may never know.., let it go, man... for your own good, let it go"

"Aasim, stay here and make sure they leave. If they don't, do not and I mean do not attack... call me, that's an order okay!"

I tell him and he nods. I left on my horse and rode to our camp that was nearby. Ignoring the greetings of the others I went straight to my tent. I went to lay down on my bed and sighed. What if Aasim was right? What if she doesn't know who I am? It's a possibility since my old friend, Jabare didn't even recognize me. Does this mean, only I know about the past? Am I the only one cursed to remember what happened? And if so why? Why me?
