I do not own The Mummy or any of the plot or characters. However I do own Lexi.
Story start
A flash of pain erupted through my heart when I saw Johnathon's look. I thought he hated me but when Rick was pushing him down into the sewer, I heard Johnathon yell, "Stop, he got Lexi, we have to save Lexi too." My heart lifted when I heard that. Imhotep looked at me and I just looked away from him. I was happy to hear that Johnathon was worried about me. However I was conflicted as to which path I wanted to take in life at the moment.
"Anubis," I whispered in my mind as I was swept up in Imhotep's sand.
"Yes Kanika," Anubis said softly. I think he could tell I was really torn here.
"Is this really my destiny?" I asked him with a frown, if my destiny is to be alone as a great warrior for Imhotep; than I don't think I'll like it that much. I've been alone for so long now and I'm tired of it.
"Yes, but you are not alone. You still have me Kanika," Anubis whispered as I felt that warmth surround my body and even my soul this time. I slowly shook my head.
"I thank you, and I'm sure I will always have you. However there is still something missing," I told Anubis.
Anubis was silent before asking, "What is missing?"
I shook my head and sighed. "I'm not sure," I said before falling asleep in Imhotep's sand. I could hear Evelyn griping at Beni as we traveled in the sand to Hamunaptra.
"Kanika," Imhotep's voice whispered as I slowly started waking up. I looked around confused and then my eyes widened slightly. I was being held in Imhotep's arms as we stood in the desert close to Hamunaptra.
Imhotep gently let me down and I walked away from him for a bit. My black cloak and hood was still on, so Evelyn did not know it was me. Beni and Evelyn had fallen on the ground and I saw Evelyn pushing Beni away. I wanted to laugh and help her hit Beni, but I restrained myself. I just did not want her to realize yet that I was helping Imhotep right now. However I'm very, very torn at the moment.
I truly do not know what I want out of life. I never knew what I wanted out of life in the first place. Now that I have a purpose in life, I'm confused. I would love to help Johnathon and the others, but I do not know if the others really care for me. I think Johnathon might, but I've never been good at deciphering others feelings. I sighed as I popped my neck and back.
"Kanika, there is something I want to show you, but you must go into the city," Anubis said. I looked at Hamunaptra curiously before indicating to Imhotep that I was going to head to the city first. Imhotep nodded and I ran off to the city.
I hesitated a moment before entering the dark tunnels. My crimson vision allowed me to see with no problems as I ran through the tunnels. Anubis would give me orders of which way to turn. As I ran through the tunnels, I started encountering lit torches on the walls. A confused expression appeared as I slid to a stop in a room.
My eyes widened when the cobweb room turned into a warm, golden room of the past. "This was your room," Anubis whispered and I walked around the room afraid to touch anything.
"I lived here," I said confused and Anubis chuckled.
"I know not many people want to live in such a city, but you and death go hand in hand," Anubis said with a small chuckle again.
I slowly nodded and slipped off my cloak. It fell to the ground as I saw a large black silk bed in one corner of the room. A pure gold top with a ruby in the center was lying on the bed. It looked like a strapless bra, but it looked like armor a warrior might wear. A pair of gold silk underwear and a short gold chain skirt was also lying on the bed. Some golden colored sandals that tied around the bottom of the legs were lying at the foot of the bed.
"For you," Anubis whispered as I felt a warm breeze swirl around me.
I tentatively touched the clothes and gasped at the feel of them, they were real. "Close your eyes," I told Anubis. I did not know if he could see me undress or not, but I was not going to take any chances. Anubis laughed but informed me that his eyes were closed. I hoped he kept those eyes closed until I was finished dressing.
I quickly took off my clothes and shoes and put on the outfit. I felt very exposed, but I felt powerful as well. I strapped my blade to my hip and smirked at my reflection in the mirror that was in the room.
"Beautiful and deadly," Anubis's voice whispered in the warm wind that blew around me. My crimson eyes glowed brightly as I smirked at my reflection. I frowned when I felt the bloodlust rising in my system. "Calm down," Anubis whispered gently.
I nodded and walked out of the room. I heard someone walking down the tunnels and I stepped out of the room and headed towards the noise. I missed seeing the room behind me changing back to its original cobweb self.
I quickly yet silently walked down the tunnel and I ended up seeing Imhotep, Beni, and an outraged Evelyn. Beni growled and knocked her out and tossed her over his shoulder. However Evelyn had caught sight of me before she was rendered unconscious.
"This will be interesting when she wakes up," I thought as I looked at Evelyn's limp form before looking at Imhotep. He was smirking at me and gave a small nod of his head.
"You look beautiful Kanika," Imhotep said with a small smile before walking again. I walked beside him but not too close. I already figured out that Imhotep was about to raise his dead lover from the depths of hell and Evelyn was the sacrifice. I did not want Evelyn to die, but in a way I was ready for someone to die or kill someone. My blood lusting self is starting to resurface.
"Hmmm maybe I can kill Beni," I thought as I caught Beni giving me a lecherous look. I growled at him in rage and my eyes glowed. He emitted a squeal of surprise and fear and he quickly averted his eyes from me. I smirked and followed Imhotep into the room with the table and the strange black water. I could sense all of the dead souls in the water and I steered clear of it.
I decided to occupy myself as I looked at the hieroglyphics on the walls as Beni tied Evelyn to the table and Imhotep placed Anck-su-namun's body beside Evelyn on the table. "Oh look it's hieroglyphics about me," I said happily as I read how I was Anubis's killer and weapon. The tale about me was pretty gruesome and I had to look away. "I was a heartless monster back then," I whispered sadly before sitting on the stairs in the room.
Beni walked over to me and sat down beside me. I glared at him when he sat a bit too close and he scooted away a bit. "What do you want?" I asked bored out of my mind as I looked at Imhotep preparing. If I decide to continue helping Imhotep than I definitely want things to be more interesting.
"Um well, well since I shall be working with Prince Imhotep as well than I thought we could go," Beni stuttered but I did not allow him to finish his sentence. I placed my blade at his throat and he quickly silenced.
"I'd rather let Anubis have his way with me however and whenever he wanted than be with you," I said in a deadly voice and Beni squeaked before running away.
"Oh really," Anubis said smirking and I yelled for him to shut up, which ended up with some pain in my shoulder. I gritted my teeth before getting up and walking over to Imhotep.
"After this, can I kill that slimy weasel?" I asked Imhotep referring to the disappearing Beni. Imhotep laughed and smirked.
"Be my guest," Imhotep said and I smiled victoriously before gun shots sounded from some of the other tunnels.
Imhotep frowned unhappily and he quickly set to work and he summoned more mummies, which were his priests. Right at that moment, Rick and Johnathon appeared at the top of the stairs. "Evy," Rick and Johnathon yelled. "Kanika, stop them," Imhotep ordered as Rick and Johnathon started running down the stairs. I nodded with a small frown before I made myself go to work. I ran up the stairs and swung my blade at Rick and Johnathon. Rick jumped out of the way and ran down the stairs, while Johnathon backed away from me.
"Lexi stop this, why are you helping that freak?" Johnathon yelled as Rick went to help Evelyn and then had to fight Imhotep's priests.
I paused before swinging my blade at Johnathon again and he backed away more, but almost stumbled on the stairs. "What does it matter if I help Imhotep? No one on the god forsaken planet has shown me any care since my father died. I've been used as a bloody pack mule and a weapon all of my life, now I'm a weapon who has a better looking future. I may have to kill people still, but at least I have a master who cares," I yelled as I continued to swing my blade at Johnathon. I gave his arm a little cut and he hissed in pain as his back hit a wall.
I went to stab his head, but my blade missed and got stuck in the wall behind him. I tried to pull the blade free, but it would not budge. Johnathon growled and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I gasped at the sudden grab and my eyes widened as he pulled me into a kiss, not just any kiss. He pulled me into a deep kiss that held so many emotions that it made my head swirl.
"Don't say that; never say that anyone else does not cares. I bloody care for you and don't you ever forget that Lexi. So stop this, you and I can live together, be happy, and I don't care that you've killed people, so you don't have to do this anymore. I love you for goodness sakes, so please stop this," Johnathon yelled with so much passion before pulling me into another kiss.
I was so shocked and my mind was blown. Did he really just say all that and kiss me twice. Johnathon was breathing heavily as he held me tighter to his body and kissed my neck quickly. "Please Lexi, I love you," Johnathon mumbled before giving my lips a sweet kiss and then running downstairs to help his sister and Rick.
My knees gave out from under me and I collapsed to the ground. My eyes were wide and my breathing was shallow. Someone loves me. Someone other than Anubis actually cares for me and they care for me as more than just a good servant or weapon. I slowly reached up and touched my lips. "He loves me," I whispered as a few tears slid out of my eyes as I shakily stood back up.
Rick yelled and so did Evelyn. Rick was fighting some of the mummy warriors and Evelyn was running away from a knife wielding Anck-su-namun. Johnathon was holding one of the ancient books, but it was one I have never seen before. Imhotep was approaching him and I growled angrily. "Don't touch him," I yelled as I drew my blade and ran at Imhotep. I drove my blade in Imhotep's back and quickly pulled it out. Imhotep gasped before glaring at me.
"Kanika, what are you doing?" Imhotep yelled as he advanced towards me. I saw Johnathon holding something in his hand and he was yelling to Evelyn that he had got the key. I gave Johnathon a little smile before dodging Imhotep's blow. I growled and slashed his chest with my blade. Slowly his wound healed before my very eyes. "You can not stop me," Imhotep said.
"Maybe not, but I sure as hell will try," I yelled and cut his throat. Imhotep's eyes widened before he started laughing as the wound healed. I growled and then Rick appeared at my side. He was still fighting one of the mummies. I sighed and cut off the mummy's head. "Thanks," Rick said before we switched places. I fought the warrior mummies and I saw them shiver in fear when they saw me. "Oh so you boys remember me huh," I said with a smirk as my eyes glowed.
