DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, BUT I DO OWN THE CHARACTERS MEGERA, ELAINE, BERNARD, SETH (and the plot of this story)

AHKMENRAH's POV

My bracelet was glowing, there was a voice in my head, except it wasn't mine..

"I'm sorry..." Wait a second...I know this voice "I promise I'll make it up to you...your tablet has the power to bring you and your family to life every night...my parents gave the priest the spell, I was told to strengthen it..." I lost my balance and I grabbed the reception desk, panting "But I had to do this...your brother...he's threatening the whole world, especially my family...I know you're getting married tomorrow...and it's selfish of me to do this...I'm sorry..." the voice stuttered, "your bracelet will protect you for eternity...I'll never forget you...we will reunite 3000 years or more, without your brother...I'm sorry..." The voice faded, I regained my balance, "Ahk, are you alright?" Asked Sacagawea holding onto me. Lapia was weeping on the stairs, Larry was looking at me with confusion in his eyes, Tilly was hugging Laa, who was confronting her. "Well...luckily we cancelled today's show" said Teddy, "or else..." Larry nodded in agreement.

That voice...Her voice...I've heard it somewhere...I know it. Bracelet...Kahmunrah...it had to be...Menivia...

My heart was racing, after 3000 or more years she comes to me now? She's probably dead! Not probably she defiantly is! Unless she has a magical spell to keep herself living for so many centuries...

Then Megera woke up. Her eyes flicked opened and she sat up, she was in horror, she looked at me, "Meg...it's alright..." I said, but her reply to me was a scream. "Meg!" Tilly cried, "what's wrong with you! You got us all worried! And and your bracelet was glowing! Then Ahk's bracelet was glowing! WHAT IS THIS?" Tilly was absolutely freaked out. Then Meg tried to take off the bracelet, "why doesn't this bloody thing come off?" She yelled, she hit the bracelet in the desk she was siting on, she hit it on Atilla's hat, she basically sit everything solid that was around her. "Whao Meg, calm down" cried Larry, "what's going on?" Meg had tears in her eyes, only they weren't transparent, they were gold.

"Meg..." I said worriedly, "calm down..." I remember Menivia losing control of herself and almost blowing up my father's kingdom at the age of 7, that's why she needed to leave and learn how to control magic. On the other hand, Meg went to a non-magical school and had no idea she had magic until probably just now.

"GET OUT THE WAY" Someone cried, Lapia took a sword from one of the Sumerians and through it towards Meg. "MEG!" I grabbed her arm and pulled her off the table, I lost balance and landed on my back, Meg landed on top of me, holding on to my waist. the sword got stuck on the rotating globe. Sparks came flying out and the globe stopped glowing, "Mcphee's going ta kill me..." Tilly sang, Meg was still holding on to me. "WHAT was that for?" Asked Larry in fury, Lapia looked around the room, everyone was looking at her in disgust. She went up the stairs and ran to the Egyptian Exhibit.

"Meg...you can get off now" I said shaking her slightly, she nodded, got up took her stuff and ran straight out the museum. Tilly and Larry went after her.

"Okay, Atilla, sort the globe out" announced Teddy, "Ahkmenrah," he bent down from his horse, "talk to Lapia please, I don't think Larry or Tilly would want anyone dead or damaged, and I don't think you would want dear Meg dead would you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I nodded and headed to the Egyptian Exhibit.

"Lapia, why did you-" she broke me off with a kiss again, but this time, I pushed her off me. "Why did you do that?" I asked narrowing my eyes, "she...she's dangerous...I can't lose you..." She said, "you nearly killed her! She human, she doesn't have any powers, she can't create magic! She's a person...shes not dead...she's living, she's breathing..." I said, "I see, your taking sides with the witch" said Lapia with disgust, "she's not a witch" I argued, "I'm pretty sure she is! I saw her kill you with my own eyes, she came back to kill your brother the day after! She's THAT thirsty for power! She even killed me!" Lapia cried, she wasn't sad anymore, but instead she was raging.

"Lapia, that was Menivia, the person you nearly killed is called Meg-" "I DONT CARE ABOUT HER NAME" Lapia screamed in Egyptian, "JUST STAY AWAY FROM HER, OR I WILL MAKE HER STAY AWAY FROM YOU!" There was a moment of silence, then I walked out.

MEGERA's POV

"Meg! Meg!" Tilly shouted, "where are you going?" "Home" I said, "Cambridge" I added. "Why?" She asked, "because I have made an enemy, that actually wants to kill me" I said, Larry caught up with Tilly. "That was nothing compared to my first day here" said Larry grabbing my arm, stopping me from leaving the grounds of the museum, "oh? So...it's worse than a pharaoh's dead wife throwing a bloody sword at you? When you've done nothing wrong to them in this life and yet people want to kill you?" I was tearing up, a street lamp behind us went out, sending sparks everywhere. We all flinched."Okay...weird...and what exactly do you mean in this life?" asked Larry with her brows narrowed. "I saw it" I said, which apparently confused them even more, "I killed Ahk and his girlfriend, soon to be wife, soon to be queen of Egypt" I said, "I saw it all, I did it in my past life..." after I finished, Amelia came out, "are you really going to walk away from your man?" She scolded, I groaned.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, NOTHING'S GOING ON! WE'RE JUST FRIENDS! PLUS HIS BLOODY WIFE IS HERE" I screamed, tears were rolling down my cheeks, another street lamp went out, more sparks shot out of it. "And for the last time from me, we're not married" said a voice.

Ahkmenrah came out as well, his fist was clenched, he was furious but yet he looked calm.

I restrained myself from looking at him, I flung my bag onto my back and ran.

I had no idea where I was going, since I had nowhere to go. I could go to Starbucks, but it would be weird to express anger and sadness there. I could go to a night club but I wasn't old enough and I wasn't in the mood, I could get myself wasted, but no thanks, might bump into Seth there.

Speaking of Seth...I could go to Bernard's hotel...

My phone was ringing, and it just so happened to be Bernard. "WHERE ARE YOU MEG" his voice boomed, "why...?" I asked calmly, "because everyone in the friggin world is worried! Your sister said that people from BC to AD are worried! I don't even know what that means but they're worried!" Bernard said in one breath, I sighed, "I'm...nowhere" I said, I looked around me, I was simply on a street with strangers around me. "No really, no joking, where are you" he asked, "I don't know...I ran from the museum and ended up here..." Shopping malls are starting to shut down since it was around 12:00am already, only the bars and convenient stores are still bright and open.

Flashes of Menivia's memories were coming back to me...images of Ahkmenrah...of magic...and at the end there's always that flash of green light...and Ahk's dead body...and gold smoke.

I kept walking, I had no idea where I was heading. I was just a 17 year old going to nowhere with a backpack, completely normal. I didn't want to face Tilly, Larry, and I really find want to see Ahkmenrah...I just wanted to go somewhere, where people couldn't find me or bother me, somewhere peaceful...like...a park.

I took a cab to Central Park, I sat on one of the benches with the tables and stared at the buildings, it was about 12:30 now...and the weather was becoming chilly, then, a person came up to me.

"Sing" said a voice. It belonged to a young man, he was about 20 years old, I'm only guessing though..."sorry?" I said with confusion, "I can see that something or someone has broken your heart...mainly that you are hurt" he said, "here, take this" he said handing me his guitar. "I don't play...guitar..." I said, "I mean...I used to..." I added.

"Try" he said.

I took the guitar and played the first song that came into my head: Lost Stars

I started strumming, all I've learnt about guitar came back to me...

Please don't see just a girl caught up in dreams and fantasies.

Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see.

Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow.

Best laid plans; sometimes are just a one night stand.

I'll be damned; Cupid's demanding back his arrow.

So let's get drunk on our tears.

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young.

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run.

We're searching for meaning...

But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy.

'Woe is me' if we're not careful turns into reality.

Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow.

Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer.

Turn the page; maybe we'll find a brand new ending.

Where we're dancing in our tears.

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young.

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run.

We're searching for meaning...

But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying...

I thought I heard you call my name...

I thought I heard you out there crying...

But just the same...

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young.

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run.

Searching for meaning...

But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

"WHAO!" He cheered! "You have a nice voice" he said smiling, "thanks" I said with a weak smile, "I realized I haven't introduced myself yet" he said, "I'm Nick" "I'm Meg" "nice to meet you" he said shaking my hand, "yeah, you too" I said smiling. "So...what's your story?" He asked, "huh?" I was a little confused on what he meant. "My...story?" I asked, "yeah, I mean...don't you have to go home? Or like...somewhere? And not...here? Unless you have this..forbidden love kind of thing and you have to leave and meet your prince here and dye your bang to prove how badass you are" He asked with a smirk, I narrowed my eyes, "I didn't dye my hair" I said, he raised an eyebrow. "Then how do you explain this?" He asked taking a strand of my hair, showing it to me. I widened my eyes, "paint...probably" I said. "Alright really, why are you here?" "I..." How would I put this? I ran away from a museum because one of the exhibits tried to kill me? "I ran away from home" I said, "the girlfriend of a family friend threatened me because...of jealousy" I said, though it wasn't true, I acted like it was. "There's something more than that" Nick said, "maybe...maybe not" I said shrugging.

We sat there in the silence for a while, "I've told my story, whats yours?" I asked, sitting in a position where I could face him. "Well...my dad and I got into a fight...about my career, and...before anything else happened, he needed to go to work." He said, "he works as a night guard...so..." He said shrugging, just like what I did a while ago. "He's kinda just filling in for a friend because that friend's sister's in town..." I nodded.

"I know you guys are got into a fight, but like...what night guard is he?" I asked, "just out of curiosity". "He works at the Museum of Natural History" said Nick casually.

I widened my eyes.

"You're Larry's son?" I asked softly, it was his turn to widen his eyes, his mouth formed an "O" , "you know my dad?" I chuckled, "small world, eh?" I said, he nodded in agreement.

"Then...do you know the secret?" He asked, "the...secret...?" "Guess not..." He said sadly. "What secret?" "About the museum...and how history comes alive." He said shrugging. "Oh! Of course!" I exclaimed, his face lightened up, "how did you handle it on the first day?" He asked sitting closer, "I passed out..." I said looking on the floor, he nodded. "It's okay, I bet my dad wet his pants on his first day" he joked, I giggled, then my phone rang...

"He-" "MEG WHERE ARE YOU, PLEASE DONT GO" Jed's voice was booming from my phone, "who is it?" Asked Nick, "Jed" I answered simply. "What do you want now, Jed?" "Please don't go..." He whined, "why are you using Tilly's phone?" I asked, "did she tell you to call me?" There was 3 seconds of silence, "JED!" I cried, "alright, alright! He yelled "yes she did, and she's worried sick!" He exclaimed, I groaned. "I'm not risking my life to go back, Jed!" "Jed, Octavius what are you up to now?" It was Sacagawea, always so calm and welcome. "It's Meg!" Said Octavius, I could hear the miniatures fighting for the phone, after about 10 seconds Sacagawea successfully took over the phone.

"Megera?" "Hey, Sacagawea" "do come back," she said, "your sister's very worried, and Larry's trying to call the cops, Teddy's stopping him though" there was a slight tone of tensity in her voice, unlike normally when she's calm and all. "I'm not going back" I said stubbornly, "at least go to Tilly's flat" said Sacagawea, "that way you're safe" I sighed, I really didn't want to, what's so bad about staying at a park with your...friend? "I'm not going there either" I said sharply, I could hear Sacagawea sigh, "who is it?" Nick asked softly, "Sacagawea" I said putting the phone away from my face. "Oh, Ahk wants to talk to you" she said, "I don't want to talk to him, I'm, and I quote "dangerous"" I snapped, there was a pause, "he said he didn't care" I groaned.

"Meg?" "What" I snapped, but my heart was in pain, he was a nice guy and yet I'm doing this to him in return. "Please come back" he said, there was sorrow in his voice, "please, I don't want to see or hear you get hurt..." "Then don't, don't listen to the news, stay in your tomb" I said dully. "You know what I mean" said Ahkmenrah, I could feel him rolling his eyes at me. "Look...Ahk...I don't want to die so early...if I go back, your girlfriends gonna throw a bloody spear at me!" I shouted at him angrily, even Nick was shocked. "I'm sorry for what happened..." He said quietly, "no...don't be, it wasn't your fault...I'm sorry, I just..." I just need to go back to Cambridge and forget about you, Ahk.

Of course I wasn't going to say that, but I didn't know what to say.

"I need some space" I said finishing my sentence, "okay...but please come back..." He said, he was like an innocent child on the inside, a child who has seen too much of this cruel world...

"See you" I said, and I hung up the phone. "What happened...really..." Said Nick. "Ahk's wife tried to kill me because...apparently I killed them in my past life..." I said, Nick nodded. "Wait...I thought Ahk was single" said Nick with his eyes narrowed, "apparently not" I said shrugging. "He says he's not married...but I don't buy it..." I said looking at the grass beneath me. "But why would you care anyways?" Asked Nick cluelessly, I shot him a look as he raised an eyebrow. "Never mind" I spoke.

"Did my dad mention me to you?" He asked, "yeah...sometimes" I said slumping my shoulders, "well he should've mention more of me to you, you're pretty" he said winking, I rolled my eyes. "I'm pretty sure Ahk will kill you before you get the chance to flirt with her" said Larry's voice from behind, the two of us turned to look. "How'd you find me? Wait, what?" Both Nick and I said synchronized, "Nick, you tend to forget about my tracker" he said holding his phone up, Nick groaned and rolled his eyes, I couldn't help but giggle a bit.

"When I found out that you weren't home, I came after you but I didn't expect to see you here, Meg." Said Larry, I gave him a weak smile. "Wait...dad...why would Ahk kill me?" Asked Nick with his brows narrowed, "never mind why" I said trying to change the subject, I honestly didn't want to talk about him. "He's very worried" said Larry, "Tilly's also worried too, she doesn't normally run around the museum to find people does she?" I laughed a bit at that.

"I'll go home tonight" I said, "back to Tilly's" I added, Larry smiled, "alright, are you going back to the museum tomorrow night though?" I shook my head. "Nope, not risking my life for a museum coming to life again" both Larry and Nick laughed, we took the cab to the museum, Larry and Nick got off while I went to Tilly's.

I unlocked the door and there stood Tilly, in her uniform, all wet. "Why are you-" "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU KNOW I CAN'T RUN!" Yelled Tilly holding onto my shoulder and shaking me, I closed the door behind me, "what happened to your hair?" She asked "I went to Central Park" I said completely ignoring her question, "I met Larry's son Nick there" she sighed. "Mind telling me why you're wet?" I asked raising an eyebrow, she mumbled something that I couldn't understand. "Sorry? Didn't catch that?" "The bloody whale" she said sighing, "WE HAVE A WHALE?" I asked with my eyes widened. Tilly rolled her eyes, "Yes, we do, this proves it" she said pointing to her wet uniform. I put down my bag and took off my shoes, "go wash up now" I said, "before you catch a cold" "you sound like mum" Tilly commented, "like you don't" she smiled as I walked to my/Tilly's bedroom.

"You going back tomorrow?" Asked Tilly out from the shower, "it really depends when" I said, "after dark of course!" Tilly said smirking, "nope" I said instantly. "What? Why!?" She whined, "why? Why why why why?" She said slapping me playfully on my shoulder. "I don't want to be killed by Ahk's dead wife" I said trying to restrain the anger inside me. "You're mad at Ahk aren't you" asked Tilly with a calm and gentle tone, like how Sacagawea would talk normally. "I'm not...mad at him" I said, 2nd biggest lie I've ever told myself and others. I didn't want to be mad at him, but a part of me wanted to hate him. "You know...he's very worried, he doesn't want you hurt." Said Tilly quietly, "I swear he shut himself in his tomb and cried, I heard him" it was like someone shot my heart with a gun, there was this pain that I couldn't describe. He cared so much for me and this is what I return him? Though I wanted to go back, see Ahk and the rest, complete my work and joke around with him at the same time, I couldn't...

I was afraid, afraid of what other trouble I would cause.
