I hold no claims to this awesome movie. Taylor, Timothy, Erica, and Ammina are only mine. For now ;)
I hope you guys enjoyed that little thing I created between Imhotep and Erika's previous form. I HATE Anck-Su-Namun in the second one so I decided to give Imhotep a little something that he wanted, lol ;)
Chapter Thirteen
Sisters are a pain
"My sister is such a pain in the ass," Timothy sighed to Jonathan as the two of them sat at a table in Evelyn and Erika's room drinking. The others were all there, arguing and talking to each other about what was going on.
"Just be glad you don't have two of them," Jonathan told him. "They gang up on you like you would not believe, no matter who's the oldest or what the age difference is."
"We must stop him from regenerating." Evelyn was saying. "Who opened that chest?"
"Well, there's me and Daniels here," Henderson answered her. "Oh, and, Burns of course."
"And the Egyptologists feller," Daniels added.
"What about our buddy Beni?" Rick asked.
"No," Daniels replied. "He scrammed outta there 'fore we opened the damn thing."
"Yeah, he was the smart one," Henderson sighed.
"Well, that sounds like Beni," Rick sighed, exchanging a look with Timothy.
"We gotta find him," Erika said.
"Yes," Her sister agreed. "And bring him back to the safety of the fort before the creature can get to him."
"Right," Rick nodded. "You ladies stay here, you four, come with me." Timothy got up, ready to move and Erika gave a silent nod but everyone else had a problem. Jonathan and the two other men didn't want to go and Evelyn didn't want to stay here.
"You can't leave me behind like some old carpetbag." Evelyn yelled.
Rick rolled his eyes before walking towards the yelling woman and he threw her over his shoulder. He moved into her room, Erika being smart and following after them, before tossing her on the bed, leaving the room again, and locking the sisters inside. Rick grabbed Daniels, handed him the key, and placed him by the door.
"This door doesn't open. They don't come out, and no one goes in, right?"
"Right." Daniels gasped.
He turned to Henderson. "Right?"
"Right." The man nodded as Evelyn continued to bang on the door, calling for Rick, Jonathan, and timothy to open the door. Erika's laughter could be heard as well.
"Tim, Jonathan, let's go." Rick ordered, heading towards the door.
Tim got up to move and had to return to drag a complaining Jonathan behind him.
It didn't take long for them to find the Egyptologist's place, due to the directions that Erika had given Timothy before they left, and they found Beni in there as well, already tearing the place apart and looking for something.
"Well, Well, Well. Let me guess," Rick announced their arrival as the three of them steeped into the room. "Spring Cleaning."
Beni saw them and tried to run. Tim handed O'Connell a chair and the other tossed it, knocking Beni to the ground.
"Nice shot!" Jonathan winced.
"Oh Beni," Rick pulled the small man up by the scruff of his shirt. "Did you fall down? Let me help you up." Beni let out a whine as he was slammed into some cabinets. "You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?"
"What friend? The two of you are my only friends." The weasel replied.
Rick slammed him to the desk. "What the hell are you doing with this creep? Huh, Beni? What's in it for you?"
"It is better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path." Beni replied. "As long as I serve him, I am immune."
"Do you really believe that?" Tim shook his head as Rick slammed the man into something else. "Idiot."
"Immune from what?" He demanded. Beni mumbled something. "What did you say?"
"I don't wanna tell you," Beni moaned. "You'll just hurt me some more."
Rick was growing tired of it all and dragged Beni under the fan. "What are you looking for? And try not to lie to me."
Beni screamed as he was held up towards the fan. "The book! The black book they found at Hamunaptra. He wants it back. He said to me that it would be worth its weight in gold."
"What does he want the book for?" Jonathan asked.
"Oh, come on, I don't know," Beni sighed.
"Liar." Timothy said in a sing-song voice and Rick thrusted him up back towards the fan.
"Something about bringing his two dead girlfriends back to life. But that's all," Rick began to lower him. "He just wants the book, I swear. Just the book, I swear." He glanced at Jonathan. "And your sisters. But other than that-"
Beni was cut off by a loud scream from outside. Beni took his moment and kneed Rick in the crotch before taking off out the window. More screaming took place and as the three men moved to the window they took in the sight of a man in black ripping a certain book and a Canopic jar from a skeletons hands in a large circle of people. When the man turned he had holes in his face they didn't need to guess who it was. The creature seemed to notice them and he opened his mouth, shooting out a bunch of bugs at them. They slammed the windows shut, trying their best to ignore the screams from down below.
"That's two down," Rick sighed.
"And two to go." Tim finished.
"Then he'll be coming after my sisters!" Jonathan sounded worried and led the way out of the room.
~I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you~
The warm water felt good against Erika's skin. She had been calming her sister down for the last half hour since Rick and locked the two of them in the bedroom. She knew that he was just protecting Evelyn since she was who the mummy was after so she had decided to stay with her sister. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous over her sister. Rick actually wasn't too bad of a man. He just wasn't her type but he and Evelyn would be perfect together. She still felt jealous, though.
And with Taylor, there was something a bit more going on with that Medjai man than just being partners for the last three years. Something that neither of them wanted to bring up into a conversation and wanted the other one to. They were going to have to have a little help from the outside to let things be known but Erika was sure that after that happened, everything would take off on its own.
There was just one thing that Erika didn't understand though.
Why was she trying to get all these other people together when she had her own troubles with men? She never had a boyfriend. It was Evelyn that was always looked at since Erika was more of a tomboy than anything. She was sweet too. Erika was quite the opposite. She had never held hands with a man, never kissed one hugged one(outside her brother and father, of course), never anything. She didn't know what any of this romance felt like and she was beginning to wonder if she ever would.
Henderson's scream made Erika jump and she was out of the tub in moments, searching for a towel. The water was splashed all over the floor though and she ended up falling. She was slow this time, and careful, but pulling the robe around her and tying it closed before opening the bathroom doors. She took one look at the man hunched over her sister on the bed and her eyes narrowed, watching as he kissed her.
"Hey!" She screamed.
The man seemed to jump and he turned to face her. She caught her breath. His face was still half deformed so she knew it was the mummy they found, but there was something else. This man…this was the one that she kept seeing in her dreams and in her visions. This was the man that she saw kneeling at the coffin, crying. The man that would always smile at her. The man that she found herself sleeping with in her dreams. What the hell was going on? And why did she feel so jealous that he was kissing her sister?
Before either of them could move again, the door was kicked open and Rick stood there, enraged with Jonathan and Tim behind him. "Hey! Get your ugly face off of her!" Rick roared as Evelyn pushed herself away from the bald man and off the other side of the bed as Erika continued to stand in the doorway of the bathroom. The mummy responded in ancient Egyptian and Rick gave a smirk. "Look what I got." He gasped as he held up the white cat from Burns' quarters. The mummy gave a shriek as the cat replied in a hiss before leaving the premises as he had before.
"You all right?" Rick called to Evelyn.
"Well," Jonathan rubbed his chest. "I'm not sure."
Rick looked at him like he was an idiot as Tim and Erika chuckled together. "How about you?" Tim called to the other woman.
Erika nodded. "Yeah, just…just a little surprised, is all."
"Good, both of you, get dressed," Tim turned to leave the room. "We're getting my sister and we're going to find a way to put a stop to this freak once and for all."
Again, a little short, but with good reason
