If you'd like to read it it's called Total Eclipse of the heart. There you'll meet some of the goddes mentioned in this story. I hope you enjoy this chap. :-D. thanks to those who read and reviewed. Sorry for errors and the length. Thanks again.

Iris wakes with a nagging feeling entering her lungs. Unspeakable pain bubbles as her body burns as if hot coals were being shoved into her. Hot tears brim from her eyes as she bites down her screams of pain.

"You wish for me to stop Oice?" Imohtep asks as he pulls out a hot poker. "bind yourself to me for all eternity."

"Never baldy!" Iris hisses feeling a wave of fresh pain. "Salt my wounds and I'll say thank you but I'll never beg for mercy!"

Grinning Imohtep throws the poker into the fire, "I will never mare your body with scars for I seek use of it later on."

"Go jump a donkey!"

"Now, now don't be scared."

"Fear is far from my mind at the moment. You arrogant pig-man!"

"And a pig will love you tonight." He hand caress her neck as his grip tightens, "Now tell me who's the one who damned me was?"

"Have you gonna down the deep end Mr. Clean?" Iris gasp for air, "besides, I wouldn't tell you ever if you were Drew fuller,topless, asking me to elope ."

Grounding his teeth Imohtep's brown eyes narrow, "Tell me or the child will be next, he'll suffer a lot more than you. Hearing his screams of pain will be etched into your memory."

The air around them changes as Iris gives him a smile which clearly isn't her's

"Want to know something Mr. Clean. When you screamed in pain when you were being mummified I stood close. I was the one that sealed your fate in hell, but keeping you there caused a major drain on my powers. I lost them and I lived to train others to protect your resting place. It seems to me that you'll just have to kill me Imohtep. You killed my dear friend and my family. Seeking vengeance ran deep and I'd do it all again."

"Oice, I loved you…"

"No you loved power and temptation something that I would never give to you. My powers rest and I'll send you back to your seat next to Anubis."

Their time was up when the door is burst open, Rick and Ardeth stand there with fire arms. "Iris!" Ardeth's features soften a bit when he sees her alive.

"If you wish to live I suggest you put the safety button on your weapons for he will not harm me." Iris/Oice calls out.

"Iris? Why are you speaking that why?"'

"I am not Iris, I'm Oice. I'm keeping her safe deep in her shell for this damned creature is trying to harm her." Oice announces as Yasmine and Drac appear. "Now, Imohtep if I free you will you let the rest live in peace?"

"Nay,"

"Every well…" Imohtep is flung across the room as Oice/Iris frees herself for the chains and crosses the room. Her long, dark hair as the night flows as the wind picks up. "Death may be the beginning. But it is I who will end it all once again Imohtep never will you show your face on the surface and your powers will be drained as your mind and soul. You harm others to get your fill now they will get what they want the most."

Imohtep vanishes in a flash of light. Facing Ardeth Oice smiles, "You must leave her body." Ardeth pleas, "two souls can't be in one body."

"I know but I just want to tell you that you and Iris will not be…"

"What a horrible thing to say!" Evy calls out as she watches everyone's movements. "Oice, you mustn't temper with fate."

"I' am not Nefertiti for when Iris goes back she will see this as a dream and her life will be different from where she left off."

"How so?"

"Nefertiti I am close to the gods and I do not want to anger them. We must return to our paradise and watch as life goes on without us."

Both Iris and Evy gasp as their bodies shake uncontrollably, "Note to self, stop drinking!" Iris grumbles as she looks around. "Who are you?" she asks.

"Iris don't you remember us?" Alex pouts

"No, where am I?"

"Iris, you really don't remember us?" Ardeth asks hurt.

"Should I?"

Wincing he turns toward Yasmine who eyes her cousin. "Iris, are you alright baby girl?" Yasmine feels the tumoil going one in her cousin's eyes.

"Yaz what's going on?" with a gasp her eyes widen, "I hate freaking mummies!"

"Iris?"

"Why are you guys staring at me as if I lost my mind? What happened to Mr. Clean?"

"You semi lost your memory."

"That's weird, I guess it's something to do with the whole ancient priestess taking over my bod and doing hocus pocus."

Ardeth goes up to her and pulls her into his arms. "I don't know how or when but I fell in love with you Miss Warns."

"Really Goth man cause I feel the same way." Leaning closer to kiss Iris is pulled away from his arms.

What will happen?
