Chapter title: What going to happen to us now?

Quote:"The Darkness of the Music of the Night"~The Phantom of the Opera. (Or Erik)

(Couple hours later.)

Alice didn't fall asleep right away after the dream. She slowly cried her asleep and was curled in a ball on the bed. She slowly went back to sleep and that's when the nightmare started again for her.

(Dream: part four)

A terrible scream rang through out the place. Seti 1, Anck-su-Namun, Nefertiri, and Imhotep all but ran through the halls to Ardeth and Nettie's room. By the time they got there it would be too late.

Nettie felt her heart pull and the tears run down her cheeks. There in the bed lay Ardeth, dead as a log. At first she thought he was just sleeping but she when she saw the dagger sticking out of his chest, she knew he was dead. First she screams, then she writes a note telling who did this, and then she took the dagger from his chest. She plunged the dagger to her chest, stabbing the heart, and watched as the blood fell on the sheets and Her Ardeth. Her eyesight starts to blur, slowly her hearts starts to stop, and she lays her head on Ardeth's chest and warps her arms around his neck. Nettie closes her eyes for the last time, joining her lover in the afterlife. The doors of the room flew open and showed everyone running inside the room. Anuck-su-Namun and Nefertiri screams and cling to Seti 1. Imhotep wakes over to the couple and picks the dagger up. He looks over to her nightstand and sees the note. He quick goes to it and reads it. He had a hard look on his face. The women were crying for the newlyweds. Seti 1 looked at Imhotep.

"What does it say, Imhotep?" He asked him.

"It's said that Airauliaulith killed Ardeth and that Nettie killed herself. It's signed by Nettie." He said as he looked over to his friend, Nettie. She was so young and had found love for the first time. Imhotep felt the rage ran though his veins as he looked as the pharaoh cover their bodies up with the sheets. Seti 1 turned to the other Medjais.

"Bring Airauliaulith to me Alive! I want her here now!" He orders to them. They left them alone. Imhotep felt his rage getting to him. He would get back at Airauliaulith for what she has done to his friend and to the royal family. He just had to wait for the right time.

(End of Dream: Part Four)

Alice woke up from someone shaking her. Her eyes open and her cheeks felt wet. "Alice, my desert flower, are you okay? Did someone hurt you?' Ardeth asked her. Alice throws her arms around his neck and hugged him close.

"Alice? Alice, please answer me." He pleads to her.

"You're alive." She tells him. Ardeth plunders on that statement but he just hugs her back.

"Of course, I'm alive. I would never leave you alone, Alice." He says to her.

"How did you know I was upset?" She asked him.

"I heard you scream my name." He said to her as he rubbed small circles on the small of her back. Alice thought back to the dream and shook in fear. What if that would really happen to Ardeth?

"Alice? Little one, are you sure that you are okay?" He asked as he felt her sake in his arms.

"Yes, just cold." She said to him. Ardeth warps a blanket around them and lay back down on the bed. Alice kept him close as she felt more sleep creep up on her. For once she didn't dream for a third time that day. She felt safe in Ardeth's arms and that no one could take him away from her. Well, she was wrong about that last statement….

(Somewhere else in the desert not too far from the village)

A figure is makes out in the night. A closer look at the figure we can tell that it's a girl and she's watching the village. The girl was the recarnation of Airauliaulith, who was killed for the murder of Ardeth. Airaul stared at the village, an evil smile plays on her lips and she softly kicks the sides of her black horse. She setted off to the city of the dead to find the book of the living. She has to kill Nettie again. And this time she will get Ardeth. Too, bad she'll won't make it in time to get the book.

(Back to the village.)

Ardeth woke up to find Alice gone. He slowly got out of bed...um... mat, and wonder were Alice has gone. He looks over to his night stand to see a note. he walks over to it, picks it up and reads it.

"Dear Ardeth,

I went out with Rick, Jon, And Wilson to map out the area. So, I'll be back soon.

~Love Alice.

P.S: tell your men that I can have a gun and that I can use it properly without a man's help or guidenice. Thank you!"

Ardeth laughed at the note that she had lefted him. He got dressed and went to talk to his men. After speanding a couple hours explianing why Alice could have a gun and that she could use it properly, he fianlly got the men to shut up about heard the sound of the airplane coming to the village. Ardeth ran to the enternce to the village. Rick was helping Alice out of the plane and Ardeth felt his heart starting to pound against his chest. Alice looks over to him, a smile plays on her face, and she ran into his open arms. Ardeth welcomes her to his warmth and happiness.

"ARDETH!"She yelled and buried her face against his chest. She loved the way he smelled and how warm he felt against her. Ardeth places a kiss on the crown of her head.

"My Desert Flower, how was mapping the area?" he asked her.

"It was good and I can't wait to kick some mummy butt!" She stated to him. He laughed at her , wondering if she had talk Rick into letting her go with them. Thinking about it the full moon was tonight from them and they needed to go now. Ardeth looked at the others.

"We need to go now, the full moon is tonight and we need to get there." Ardeth said to them. Rick sighed and told Alice to get back in. They head off to the city of the dead, only to be meet by a sandstorm created by the mummy. They would have died if Evy hadn't stop Imhotep by kissing him. But in the end they ended up crashing into quicksand. Alice was lucky to get her and her stuff out before it sunk but Wilson wasn't too lucky. He ended dieing from heartattack and snuk to the bottom with his plane. Rick and Ardeth was diging while Jon yelled at them to up their backs into it. Alice grabs the trouch and tells Jon to put his back into it. Jon ingores her and waks away. Then jon starts screaming about something in his arm. Rick cuts it out, it's a scaber, and he shots it. Ardeth use his bandanna to cover the wound. He has marks on his forehead too. Alice thought as looked at him. They came to a room filled with all the welthly of Egypt. Alice notices two things in a golden bowl. She picks them up, and gaspes at them. they were the two necklaces for Ardeth and Nettie. She quickly puts them in her pouch and catchs up with the others. Suddenly mummies came thought the ground. Alice got her guns ready.

"Who are these guys?" Rick asked.

"Preist. Most likely of Imhotep." Ardeth said and they started shoting. Jon ends up throwing one of the guns at the mummies. They ran to the staue of RA.

"time to close the door." Rick said as he lights a mtach against Ardeth's face. He throws ther dymidte at the door and it blows up. Rick and Jon got the book out just as soon as other mummies came the other way. Ardeth holds the off with the gun but runs out of bulltes. He pulles his sword out.

"Save the gir and Stop the monster!" he said to them. Alice grabs ahold of his arm and grips it with all her might.

"Ardeth, No! I don't to lose you again!" She told him but not as herself but as Nettie. Ardeth lays his hand on her cheek and looks into her eyes.

"Don't worry, my desert flower. I will be fine. I love you, Nettie." He said as the past Ardeth. He's kisses her on the lips and runs into the mummies cutting and hacking at them.

"I love you, too My Dear Warrior." She cried to him. Rick and Jon pull her to the opening them made and they left to find Evy. Alice cried the most of the way there. She missed her warrior already. But she kept going and hoped that they would be toeghter soon. Imhotep was going down! Only question is will Ardeth survie to see his love agian?
