Well this chapter was fun doing too actually, plus there is a little foreshadowing at the end when you read Nefret, she thinks that strange blue eyed woman is gonna plan something towards her and Ahk. Well you guys will just have to find out when I post more enjoy and remember I don't own any of the Night at the Museum characters even though I wish I owned Ahkmenrah, I only own Nefret and her mother and her friends, well except pyscho Chris. You guys can beat the crap out of him if you like, *evil laugh*.
Chapter 10
I gulped nervously as she led me down to the lobby and though, What if her mother doesn't accept me for who I am? Damn, I'm screwed big time if her mother doesn't allow me Nefret to see me. I ran a shaky hand threw my curly hair as we descended the steps to the lobby. Larry looked at us with a puzzled look and spoke, "Ahk, the sun is going to rise soon. So unless you want Nefret to love you in a jar as dust and carry you around all her life telling people how much she loves her man. I suggest you go to your tomb for tonight." Nefret laughed when he said this and spoke, "Oh relax Larry, and I'll have him in his tomb on time. It's just that my pharaoh here wants to meet my mother."
I lifted an eyebrow at 'my pharaoh' part and looked at her. Larry choked, "You want to WHAT!? And YOU, Ahkmenrah, you gave her this idea. You know as much as I do, her mother will flip. Unless…" He thought for a moment, and a big grin spread across his face and continued, "Unless you tell her you saved her daughter's life from psycho Chris earlier tonight." I smiled at this brilliant idea and was about to ask Nefret if she agreed with him. As I looked at her, I saw fear flash across her face when Larry mentioned Chris.
"Nefret," I shook her gently, trying to snap her out of it, "Nefertiti!" She shook her head and looked at me. She spoke, "I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to freeze up like that. I guess I'm still a little shook up from what happened earlier. Well...hmmm, I agree with Larry. My mom will…" She glanced down at her phone and the tiny screen flashed MOM in capital letters, "Well speech of the devil, it's her."
She walked off from me and Larry and started to speak in Egyptian, "Ugh mom, please calm down…Rami who...I don't kno…what a minute? Oh ok, THAT Rami Malek…" She glanced at my direction and I just smiled at her nervously, she continued, "ummm… ok I'll tell Larry to have…YES mom I understand…he'll have…ok then…I'll tell him to have the far right revolving door going for you…shhh don't say that…yes I'm fine…I love you too mom." Larry looked at me confused at what she was saying and I was laughing my butt off at what just happened just now. Larry asked, "What was she saying that's so funny? Come one Ahk, your Egyptian, you just understood what she said. Isn't that eavesdropping you just did, that was private from what I can tell." I couldn't stop laughing and said, "I suggest you go and make sure that the far left revolving door is moving, her mother will be up here soon, well more like now."
Nefret spun and looked at me embarrassed at what just happened and I smiled at her. Larry took off running to the revolving door and unlocked it just when her mother spun the door walking in. From the corner of my eye I saw Nefret running to her mother and enveloped each other in a hug. She spun her mother, so she wouldn't see me, YET. Nefret kissed her on the cheek and spoke, "Mom, don't freak out okay. I'm going to show you someone; he saved my life earlier tonight fro…" She gulped and seemed to hesitate in continuing on, I knew what the last part would be and saw her break down into tears in her mother's arms.
I watched and looked up at Larry who motioned me to jump in and say something. As I walked towards the two, Nefret pulled away from her mother and ran to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. Her mother turned and looked at me, I watched as she scanned me up and down as I held Nefret. She seemed deep in thought and I opened my mouth to speak, but she stopped me as she raised a hand up, shutting me up.
She spoke with an accent to it, "I know who you are, Ahkmenrah. Rebecca Hutman told me earlier today about Larry's duty to the museum, in keeping you guys in at night before the sun rose. AND, she told me about the relationship between you two. I don't approve of her being with you, but I want to know what happened to my daughter, it may change my mind about you and allow her to be with you." Nefret turned in my arms and looked at her mother, she spoke angrily in Egyptian, "You knew, and you didn't tell me. News flash mom, you remember Chris Fields right? Well the moment you dropped me off here. He and his little buddies ganged up on me and he tried to rape me and kill me! Ahkmenrah saved me from that bastard, he got hurt doing so. I love him mom, he saved me, please understand."
I looked at her mother as she looked at me and Nefret who started to cry again, I tightened my grip around her. I whispered in Nefret's ear, "I must go Nefertiti; the sun will be up in about 5 minutes. Just remember I love you no matter what she says." With her mother still watching us, I placed both hands on either side of her face and kissed her softly on the lips, I hugged her goodbye and left her for tonight.
~~ Nefret's POV (for only this chapter) ~~
I watched as Ahk left me for now and I spun around to glare at my mother still. She took a step towards me and I back up one "You never cared to share this with me mom." I said as I wiped the tears away from my face. "Come on honey, I know why you were so eager to come here. I swear, I didn't know till this morning when you were at school. I was having lunch with Rebecca when she told me about you and Ahkmenrah. I had known already about the figures coming to life but not about you two."
I saw Rebecca with Nicky walking over to Larry, who glared at her angrily. My mother looked over at them and waved to Rebecca who waved back. "Mom back to topic, please." I snapped my fingers together at her face and see she looked at me. "Like I was saying, Chris tried to rape me and kill me earlier tonight. And Ahkmenrah save me, accept him please. He loves me and treats me with respect, and I love him too." I pleaded and saw something flash in my mother's eyes, was that happiness towards me or was I just imagining that. She smiled at me and spoke, "I understand what he did for you Nefertiti and I accept him. If he does anything, AND I mean anything, he's dead meat you hear me. But wait, he's dead already to begin with."
We laughed and hugged each other, she told me to go say goodbye to him even if he was asleep already. She left to the car to wait for me; I ran to Ahk's exhibit and gasped for air. I could hear people coming already and stood in front of his sarcophagus and spoke in Egyptian, "Ahkmenrah guess what? My mother accepted you; she's allowing me to continue seeing you. So long as nothing bad happens to me or else she said she'd kill you. I know you're laughing, since your dead already." I laughed and continued on, "I'll see you tonight Ahk, I love you."
As I turned to leave his exhibit, I saw someone looking at me, more like staring at me. Those blue eyes stared at me closely as I walked past her and she looked back from me to Ahk's sarcophagus in curiosity. I thought, she gives me the creeps, something's not right about her though. I just know it, damn I hope she didn't hear me talking to Ahk just now or else I'm screwed and so is he.
