10. ACT I: Again The Amenhotep I Room

Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Again the Amenhotep I Room

Niall came running into the Priest's room followed by Carla and the three others. The Imhotep mummy was still there and it looked nothing like the mummy that had slain Thesiger. He then ran back into the sarcophagi room and opened every sarcophagus in that room. To his amazement and alarm they were all empty! And then he went to the entrance hall and found all fifty of the sarcophagi in their empty as well!

Agitation filling him, Niall began to wonder if they had all been empty already or if there was now many mummies roaming this place!

"Niall." Carla walked up to him. "The Amenhotep I room… We have to solve that door's puzzle." She was faint of voice, affrighted of the mummy as Niall and the three blockheads were. "If the mummy is down here then all we can do is stay one step ahead him."

This did not comfort Niall but walk to the Amenhotep I room her did. That scrap of bandage they had found at the locked door in the Amenhotep I… The mummy must have come from there so he must have been anywhere in the house by now!

Entering the Amenhotep I room, Niall was surprised to find that it was just the same as when he had last been in there. No sign that a mummy had ever walked through here save for that scrap of bandage at the locked door.

"Where could that thing have gone?" asked Arthur.

Niall didn't give an answer neither did Carla. This left William and Bramwell to their jabbering.

While the three jabbered, as blockheads do, Niall and Carla walked to the puzzle door.

Here it was. The door of mystique! What was behind that door? They were going to find out!

If it was Carla's half-brother Anthony that was in there or the mummy they would find out. Both Niall and Carla were hoping Anthony would be in there.

And then a question came to Niall's mind. What would the Ninja do?

Go after the mummy most likely. But Niall was not like the Ninja… He could not fight and besides he was a pacifist. The one time he had fought he had ended up having a mental breakdown. Niall could not fight or slay, he just couldn't.
