The Mummy- My Version.
Summary- Everyone else is doing it, so i thought I'd do my own version of the first Mummy film, only with a eight year old Samantha in it joining them. For this story, just ignore my other stories to save confusion. In this story, Sam's mother died when Sam was two years old, leaving Jonathan and Evy to raise her. That's why she's in the Mummy film-story now.
Author's Notes- Only Samantha is what I own. I do not own any other characters, but I would like to own Jonathan and Rick. Please tell me if I've nicked or used anybody else's ideas and if this story seems weird with Samantha in it because of my other stories. In this story, Sam's mother died when Sam was two years old, leaving Jonathan and Evy to raise her. That's why she's in the Mummy film-story now. And Ardeth is not Sam's step-brother.
P.S. I'm using the mummy film script off internet to help me with this story.

Chapter 4- Arrivings and Findings.
At an Bedouin trading post, Jonathan, Rick and Samantha were trying to get camels from a trader, while the warden was being chased out of a tent full woman.
"Five, I only want five" Then Samantha spoke in prefect Arabicfor the camels, taking the money out of her father's pocket and paying him, leaving Jonathan looking shocked and O'Connell laughing.
"I can't believe the price of these fleabags" He moaned, taking two camels for him and the warden, O'Connell took two camels for himself and Evy and Sam took her own "We probably could have got them for free, all we had to do was give him your sister" O'Connell replied.
"Yes, awfully tempting, wasn't it?" Jon went off to give the warden his camel. Evy came out of a tent wearing a gorgeous, tightly fitted, Bedouin dress "Awfully" O'Connell said to no-one in particular, but Sam heard him "Ohhh, O'Connell and Aunt Evy, sitting in a tree..." She stopped when he ruffled her hair and laughed as she went to her father.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they traveled across the sand dunes, Jonathan started off his complaining "Never did like camels. Filthy buggers. They smell, they bite, they spit. Disgusting" The warden, who was eating some chicken, spat out some grizzle "I think they're cute" Evy said, as she stoked her camel's head.
"So do I, even though they can sometimes be usless buggers" Samantha called out, remembering her first time on a camel, the usless thing wouldn't move until someone shouted food. They traveled for a long time across the beautiful golden sand dunes. Samantha spent her time talking everyone, even the warden, asking them questions about their lives.
Then it became night, the moon shining high in the sky. Jonathan and Samantha were sleeping, with the warden between them. He started snoring really loudly, so Jonathan did the most logical thing: smacks the warden with his whips then went back to sleep again.
Evy was also asleep, nearly falling off her camel, until O'Connell pushed her back on her saddle. He looked up on top of a cliff, and saw a load of men in black robes, just watching them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Jonathan and the warden started arguing "And you snore" The warden looked at him offened "I do not snore" "Yes, you did. You snored all night" Samantha just rolled her eyes at the argument and made her camels go forwards to O'Connell's and Evy's
"We're almost there" O'Connell said, looking at Evy "How are you sure?" She asked. He looked down to the floor, where many skeletons were sticking out of the sand. Evy looked disguted, while Samantha looked at them with wonder "Cool" She said quietly.
"What the bloody hell are they?" Jonathan asked, equally as disgusted as his sister "Other seekers of Hamunaptra" The warden answered.
They passed a rather large dune, where the American party meet them. Both parties stopped a few feet away from each other, and waited.
"What the hell are we waiting for?" Daniels demanded "Patience, my good sahib, patience" Beni answered him.
Henderson called over O'Connell "Remember our bet, first one to city, five hundred cash bucks" O'Connell and Beni just stared out at the flatness ahead, making Evy, Jonathan and Samantha gives looks at each other.
"Get ready for it" Evy looked for O'Connell "For what?" He answered "We're about to be shown the way" The sun began it's rise, until it got to the point that a volcano started showing. Both parties then shot off towards it, O'Connell and Beni had a fight which whips were struck at each other and Beni ended up on the floor. Samantha just sucked her tounge out at him and Evy said "And that serves you right".
O'Connell was shooting out in front, while Evy's camel was closing in on him, when she got neck and neck with him, she smiled at him. Then all of a sudden, her camel shot off, while Jonathan and Samantha were cheering her on. Soon enough, Evy was the first into the city, followed by O'Connell. Samantha came last out of their party, turned to the American party and shouted "Well, looks like you've lost to another girl" Making them swear out loud.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The diggers that are with the Americans started shifting rocks from an entrance into Hamunaptra. The Egyptologist was giving instructions to them from on top of the entrance, while Henderson looked over to where O'Connell's party "Do they know something we don't?"
The Egyptologist just turned to him "They are lead by a woman, what does a woman know?"
Across the volcano, O'Connell was getting ropes tied to pillers ready to go down into the city. The warden was doing nothing and Jonathan was cleaning some mirrors with Samantha "According to Bembridge Scholars, inside the statue of Anubis was a secret compartment, perhaps containing The Book Of The Living" O'Connell looked up from his work "What are the mirrors for?"
Evy looked at him "Ancient Egyptian trick. You'll see" He shrugs and jumps into the cervise they found into Hamunaptra. Underneath, they found themselves in a chamber. O'Connell, Jonathan and Evy took a torch each, while Samantha looked around in wonder.
"Do you realise we're standing in a room no-one has entered in over four thousand years" Evy said, excited.
"What is that God awful smell?" Jonathan asks, sniffing the air. Samantha pointed to the side of him and he saw the warden standing near him. Evy then brushes the cobwebs of a metal disk and pushes it down, so it could catch the light "And then there was light".
The whole chamber then lit up with light, showing a room with many tables in it "Oh my God. It's a prepartion room" Evy stated, excited.
"Preparation for what?" Rick asked, his curiousity rising "For entering the afterlife, O'Connell" Samantha stated, looking as amazed as Evy.
"Mummies, my good son, this is where they made the mummies" Jonathan stated, as they made their way out of the room.
While walking down a narrow passageway, a rumbling sound could be heard. Everyone braced themselves, and the warden just farted "Dear God" Sam stated, looking as though she was going to collapse.
They kept on walking until they got to a half buried statue of Anubis. Suddenly, a scratching sound could be heard. O'Connell pulled out his pistol, while Jonathan pulled out a tiny derringer and pulled Samantha behind him. They then jumped out of the side of the statue, only to find themselves faced with the Americans.
"Ya scared the bejeezus out of us, O'Connell" Henderson stated, starting to put his gun away "Likewise" O'Connell said, doing the same with his gun.
"This is our statue... friend" Daniels said "I don't see your name written on it... pal"
Then Beni came from behind them "Four to one, O'Connell, your odds are no-so-good" O'Connell pointed his gun towards Beni "I've had worse" Jonathan pointed his tiny gun towards Beni as well "Yeah, me too" O'Connell just gave him a look and turned back towards Beni.
Evy then pulls O'Connell's arm down "Let's be nice, children, if we're going to play together, we must learn to share. There are other places to dig" He cocked his guns and put them away, then got lead away with Jonathan, Samantha and the warden at his heels.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"According to my calculations, we should be right under the statue. We'll come up right between his legs" Evy said. She, O'Connell, Jonathan and Samantha were in a chamber underneath Anubis's statue. O'Connell and Jonathan were smashing the ceiling above them.
"And when those dirty yanks go to sleep...no offense" Jon said, before looking at O'Connell "None taken".
"We'll sneak right up and steal that book from right under them" Samantha said, watching as they worked "Are you sure we can find the secret compartment?" O'Connell asked.
"Well, if those beastly Americans haven't got to it before us...no offence" "None taken" Jonathan looked around the room "Where'd our smelly little friend get to?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The warden crawled his way though a small, narrow passageway. He reached the end and stands up inside a chamber. A mural wall comes alive, embedded into it are dozens of black amethyst scarbs. Awestruck, the warden pulls out a pocket knife and starts prying away at one of the precious bugs "What's this? Black gold?"
He puts it into his sidebag and starts prying more off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beni and the Americans hover around the Egyptologist, who's found the serect compartmant inside the statue of Anubis. The Egyptologist brushes sand away from the seam and Henderson steps forward and grabs the seam, -- the Egyptologist quickly stops him "Stop, Seti was no fool. Perhaps we should let the diggers get it out?"
"Yeah, sure. We'll let them open it" Henderson agreed. Three diggers get crowbars and start prying at the seams. Then, a burst of liquid comes out of the seams and sprays onto the diggers, making their skin melt off their bodies. The Americans and Beni screamed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evy and O'Connell sit on rocks, taking a break from the digging and talking about mummification. Jonathan was playing golf with rocks and one of the tools and Samantha was watching her dad and listen to her aunt.
"Do you know how they took out your brain?" Evy asked "They stick a red hot poker up your nose, scramble things about a bit and rip it all out though your nostrils"
O'Connell winced "Oh, that's got to hurt" Samantha spoke up with a smile "Don't worry. You'll be dead when they do that"
O'Connell spoke up again "If we don't get out of here alive, don't put me down for mummification" Jonathan didn't look at him from his golf game "Likewise" He took a shot and the ceiling cave in, O'Connell jerks Evy clear and Jonathan takes Sam from danger.
As soon as the dust cleared, everyone got up again to see what fell. It looked like a stone casement.
"Oh my... it looks like a sarcophagus" They look up "Buried at the base of Anubis" Evy looked down again and continued "He must have been someone of great importance...or he did something very naughty".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The warden is still prying away at another scarab It rips off and he drops it into his pouch, only he misses, and it scarab quietly falls to the sandy floor without the Warden noticing. The amethyst starts to glow. Something inside starts to wiggle; as if the amethyst were some sort of strange cocoon. Then it splits open and a real live scarab beetle scurries out.
It races over to the warden's shoe, quickly burrows into the leather and vanishes inside. The warden's eyes fly open and he starts screaming, dropping his knife and frantically starts clawing away at his pant leg, higher and higher until he rips open his shirt revealing a large, hideous lump where the scarab was.
It keeps burrowing under his skin. It burrows it's way along his belly and his chest. The warden claws and scratches at it, trying to stop it. The lump then burrws up his neck, the warden starts screaming even more as the scarab burrows into his head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evy is dusting the sand of the top of the sarcophagus, and starts staring at the only hieroglyph. Jonathan strums his fingers impatiently on it "Well, who is it?"
Evy looked puzzled as she said "He who shall not be named" O'Connell blows on what seems to be the lock to the sarcophagus "There's some kind of lock here. You say these thing's are made of granite with a steel interior?"
"Quarried granite with a cobalt lining" Samantha answered, trying to get a better look "Whoever's in here sure wasn't getting out" Jonathan spoke up, lifting Sam on to his shoulders.
"It will take a month to get in here withoput a key" O'Connell replied. Evy then had the look of recognition on her face and started rummaging though Jonathan's pack "That's it. A key, the man with the hook for a hand on the barge said something about a key" She appeared from the bag again with the key/box in her hands "That's mine" Jonathan whined reaching out for it, only to have Evy slap his hands.
Samantha laughed as Evy placed the key into the lock prefectly and smiled. They both stopped when they heard screaming coming from the corridor behind them. They all went outside the chmaber to see the warden shooting down the corridor, Jonathan and O'Connell try to grabbed his hands to stop him, but he slipped their grasps. He then slams his head down into the wall and falls down dead.
Evy, O'Connell and Jonathan stood there, wide-eyed and breathing hard. Jon comforted his daughter, who had just witnessed her first death of someone she knew.
