I do not own The Mummy, Ardeth Bay or any other things you may recognise. I only own Bernadette Lebard, my OC.
The desert heat was murder, but we thankfully reached a small market place. Local women took us to a separate tent and gave Evy a thin black veil dress while I took the desert garbs that consisted of a black thick headdress, black face cover and navy blue wrap suit. As I walked out I spotted a man dressed in the same clothes looking at me. I took off my veil and smiled at him, making him turn away and mount his horse. Before he left, he came over to me and spoke.
"Hello. What is your name, desert flower?" He asked me through his mask.
"My name is Bernie, what is yours?" I asked him. A small smile was seen on his face, through his mask, for it reached his eyes.
"My name is Ardeth Bey. You must go to your family." Said he while gesturing towards Rick, Jonathan and Evy.
"They aren't my family, only my friends." I called over my shoulder as I walked back towards Jonathan talking to Rick about something.
"We could have just given them Bernie or your sister." Rick admitted with a small chuckle.
"Yes. Awfully tempting wasn't it." Jonathan replied, smirking at my new attire. Giving him a deadly glare, I mounted my camel and began the journey into the desert.
At nightfall, while the others where asleep, I spotted some black-clad men on horse back.
"I see you mighty warrior." I whispered while kissing my finger and tapping my forehead.
The morning came and I saw a sight I had been dreading for many years. The infamous Turkish deserter, Beni Gabour.
"Good morning, my friend." Beni greeted us with a fake smile.
"What the hell we doin'?" The blonde American, Henderson i think, asked while chewing an enormous amount of tabcco.
"Patience my good Bara'tm, patince." Beni assured with a slide glance.
"Get ready for it."
"Ready for what?" Evy asked Rick and I. Not bothering to settle into the bet of $500, I sat back lazily and muttered,
"We're about to be shown the way." After I said those dreaded words, the city appeared before our eyes.
"Here we go again." I vaguely heard Rick mutter before he spurred his camel onwards. Gently, I gave my camel a nudge and it slowly trotted forwards.
When I finally arrived, I found they had already set up camp and I clambered off the camel and sent it on it's way. It's going to be a long day.
