HI GUYS! It's been a while, have been busy a lot But i'm glad to finally give you chapter 14 I'll see you at the end!
Celina's POV (Part 2)
We manage too somehow get Ahk and Larry too the dungeons without any of the guards seeing them. Most of the time we ran, other times Rose had to distract them, so they wouldn't see us. But it worked.
"They can stay here." Rose says and opens up an empty room. It's filtfy, really filtfy. I feel bad for leaving them here, but I have too.
"For how long?" I ask her.
"I don't know? For as short as possible…" She says.
"Until Ahkmenrah and I find out what to do." Larry say too me and puts a hand on my shoulder, nods telling me it's okay. I nod.
"There is only one week left…" I feel sick, I can't believe i'm going to get married to him…Wait, no! That will never happen. Never.
"That's fine, we don't need that long. Give us two days." Larry says. I look at Ahk who also looks at Larry. I nod.
"Okay…" Then we all stand there in silence. I try to think of something to talk about.
"Oh Larry. Do you want to see the place?...I mean, if you want to know where you can hide or escape if you need too?" I say then looks at Rose. She wakes up.
"You can show him right?"
"Of course Celina. This way Larry." She says and looks at him. He smiles at me for a second, then walks with Rose. I close the door behind us, now it's only us. We look at each other, for a while. It's almost awkward.
"Um, just so you know, this was kind of an excuse just to be alone with you for a little while." I say looking at him, smiling. I could laugh if I wanted, but it has wanished since I came here. For a second, I don't think he will say anything, but slowly he smiles at me, looking at me like i'm the silly one.
He steps over to me, putting his arms around me and puts his forehead against mine. He has his eyes closed. I close my eyes too and folds my arms around his neck. I feel save, i'm home. We just stand like this for a while, when he finally speaks.
"I wish we could stay at this moment, for a long time. I feel like it's been ages, since we have been like this." He looks at me frowning, but smiling. He is happy, I know it.
"Me too. I've missed you." I say. He has no idea how hard it's been without him. His smile dissapers, but he starts brushing my cheek. I breathe out.
"Me too, more than you know…" Hey! Maybe he feels the same way. His other hand is fisted, he must be really angry about Kahmunrah. Oh, I am too. I take his face with my hands, and slowly moves in to kiss him. He respons with kissing, but a little to wild. Like…He's afraid that he won't see me again. Oh Ahk…
"…Wow. Is something wrong?" I ask him concerned. He shakes his head.
"I can never forgive him for what he has done too you…"
"He didn't harm me, I am safe."
"I'm glad you are, or else, this situation would be a whole lot worse." He sounds mad. Maybe I should be careful about what I say. He takes my hands.
"Celina…Larry and I might have a plan too how we can get you out of here." He says. Wow, that was fast! They must've already talked about it, before they came here. My eyes glow and I shake my hands, which makes his shake too.
"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's get out of here." I'm about too let go of Ahk and find Larry, but Ahkmenrah holds me back.
"Hold on…I don't think you'll like this plan. Oh, I don't even like it either…" He says shaking his head, like 'why did I even agree too this?' I look confused at him.
"…What do you mean Ahk? Do I need to go away from you again?" I say and my head starts to hurt.
"No! No, never. I'll never leave you, do you understand? Never." He sounds like he means it, and a little bit harsh. I breathe out.
"Okay… " I whisper.
"Just…Promise you will consider this…" He says gently. Now i'm almost terrified, but I nod.
"Okay. So we thought…"
The more he talks, the more I agree with him.
But then he tells me what I have too do.
Oh…You've got too be kidding me!
Jumpcut to the museum (Teddy's POV).
There is chaos, and we have been fighting for a very long time now. My horse nocks a guard down. I smile and goes thowards him. I pull my sword up.
"Keep fighting! We are going to win." The sun is just about too go up. I hear someone behind me and go one step too the left. The guard falls over.
"Just a little longer! Keep it up!" In the moment I say the final word, the guards stops moving, then for about three seconds in, the all make the same move and stands straight up, taking their positions, in a staight line. I stare at them for a little while but then I feel my back is burning. I get up on my horse.
"Everyone! Get back to your position! The sunrise is here!" I yell as lowd as I can. People, animals, starts to move. Now it looks more like a real battlefield. I manage to get to my spot and within seconds. The hallway is clear. Good. I take my position and then I stand still. It's only now my mind running free again.
Now we just have to wait for the signal, from Larry or Ahkmenrah. I hope they are okay.
Back in Egypt, in the basement.
We've talked for a while now. And Larry or Ahk has convinced me yet to do this. Rose is quietly listening, trying to help. I'm glad she tries, but there has too be another way. I'm not overreacting!
"Elina, it's the only way. The sunsise has already happened and they are waiting for us at sundown to tell them to come." Larry says and pulls out a wakie takie out of his pocket and suddently he jumps.
"Oh! I almost forgot. Guys, you can come out now!" He shakes his pocket, and too my surprise, Jedediah jumps out doing karate moves. Octavius just follows him, but doesn't do the moves.
"Where is he! I'm going to beat that fella!" Jedediah says. I smile. They are here!
"You are still trying…" Octavius says and sights, then he looks at me.
"But it's good too see you again miss."
"Yeah me too! We thought you were already married too that guy!" He says with a little smile. I look down.
"Well…That's what they want me too." I say…Ugh it feels wrong to say that.
"What? Honestly, I didn't hear anything while we were in the pocket. We just waited for Larry's signal and then when it was our cue. we would be like: BOOM, POW, CHOW! They wouldn't stand a chance!" Jedediah again does the karate moves. I giggle, which makes Ahk smile. I remember, he likes to hear me giggle.
"But…What is the plan?" Octavius says. I sight.
"They…They want me to convince Kahmunrah to get married to him now, before sunrise." I explain more in detail, but this is the plan.
"What?!" Jedediah and Octavius says in the same time. Oh I don't like it either. Ahkmenrah stands up.
"Celina, you have no choice! You have to try and convince him, or else we won't be able to go home."
"I agree." Larry says. Rose nods.
"If you do it, i'm sure he will say yes." She says. Now all eyes are on me, my answer is important. Well what do I rather want? An opportunity to get out of here, with the man I love, or be miserable forever?
I take option one, I guess. Sorry Ahk.
"Okay okay, fine! I'll do it."
Ahkmenrah kisses my cheek.
"I don't like it either, but thank you." He says.
"You have to do it now, we don't have much time." Larry says and looks at Rose and me. I nod.
"Alright, let's go Rose." I say and she nods. I quickly kiss Ahk on the cheek.
"I love you." I smile at him.
"I love you too." He says. How glad I am that I can say these three words, simply and normally.
"What do you want!" Kahmunrah says after I gently asked him if he could come in his room. He is not even doing anything stressfull, just trying on the clothes he has to be in for the wedding. It's perfect time to ask him!
"Hey, um…Can I talk too you for a minute?"
"Well you are here now, you've just interrupted me, so what do you want to say?" He looks away, ignored.
Sometimes, I just want to punch his face. Now I really feel like it, but I breathe out. I go in, leaving Rose outside.
"I…I want to get married to you today." I say. Kahmunrah eyes widen, shocked.
"Today?"
"Yes!"
"Why?" He askes confused.
I didn't prepare myself for this question.
"Because...You want me to be your bride right! So why not just do it now and stop waiting!" Really, I want to say 'get it over with', but I don't think that will be a good idea. He thinks for a while, but then looks at me again.
"When?" He speaks gently now.
"Now, if that's possible! I'll find the dress!"
"That's not your job do to that. Get your servant to do that." He snaps again and then the older guy who probably making his suit, goes back to work.
"Her name is Rose." I say.
"What?" Kahmunrah says, he didn't hear me.
"Rose."
"Yes?"
"It's Rose."
"Rose who?"
"The 'servant'"
"Who's servant?"
"My servant! Her name is Rose."
We stop talking for a little. Then he speaks.
"She has a name?"
My god…And i'm going to 'marry' this guy. For just one second, I started too feel bad for 'breaking his heart'. But now, all the feelings has vanished. I stop talking for a bit, trying to get my thoughts together.
"Well…Anything else?" He says. I look up, confused.
"What?...Do you agree?" I ask, almost whispering. He nods.
"Yes. Be ready a 12 am. Now, anything else?" He agrees! And the time is just right. We wil have plenty of time too get out of here. I shake my head with a little smile.
"No! That's all! I'll be ready!" I turn around and close the door. I look at Rose.
"So?" She says interested.
"We have until 12 am."
Her eyes widen, she clasps her hands.
"We don't have much time. We must go! I'll tell Amun, you tell Ahkmenrah and Larry." She starts walking, fast. I follow her.
I'm glad I can take her back too the museum, with us.
I told the guys the plan, they agreed. Now I just have to get ready. We only have a few hours. Rose and another guy came in with the dress. Golden, a lot of jewels. It's soo beautiful, I feel bad for wearing it. When I tried it on, it fitted my perfectly. I also have to wear that big hat that Ahkemenrah always wear. God it's heavy, I can't believe that Ahk can wear that, all the time.
There was also another guy, I think the preist? He told me, what we wanted me to say and I listened carefully. I tried to look interested and I tried my best to focus, but sometimes I would think of other stuff – He even noticed me doing it one time!
"FOCUS! You must not think of anything but the wows, they are very important!"
"Oh yes, yes. I'm very sorry, Continue, please…"
Can you guess who I thought about? Of course Ahkmenrah. The man of my dreams.
"I'll never leave you, do you understand? Never."
Such a simple sentence makes me feel calm, and feel hope.
Alright, let's get this wedding over with!
I went too see Ahkmenrah and Larry before it all happens. We still have two hours. The guests are already here, everything has been shined up also families and friends have shown up. I'm surprised. You can have a wedding here whenever you want! I'm in full make-up, and my dress is on. I don't even recognize myself, I don't feel like myself. I feel…Beautiful, which I haven't felt in a while.
Rose is beside me. She told Kahmunrah that I wanted too see the dungeons and where they kept their "hostages". Hey, if this plan is going to work, I have at least try to act like him. Cold and heartless. Rose unlocks the door. I see the four guys on the bed, a rock bed. They are sitting in a circle, and when they turn too see us, their mouths drops open. Ahkmenrah stands up and so does Larry. Octavius and Jedediah quickly climbs Larrys hand, so they can sit on his shoulder. I feel embarrassed.
"Soo?...How do I look?" I ask. Ahk stunts, they are all lost for words.
"Celina, you…" Larry says.
"You look very beautiful, I must say." Octavius says, he manage to say some words. I smile at him.
"Thank you-"
"Beautiful?! That's not the word to discribe it! A better one!" Jedediah says. He cocks his head to one side and then back. He tries to think of a better one.
"Pretty!" Jedediah says.
"Not just pretty. I think beautiful is a better word…But really…You look…" Larry says smiling a bit. Wow, I feel very happy to hear this. I smile.
"You look absolutely stunningly, amazingly beautiful…" Ahkmenrah finally says. I jump and look at him. He looks at me, weirdly. But…Maybe i'm wrong, but he looks…Proud, amazed? Maybe shocked. I walk over to him and I kiss him on the cheek.
"You always say so nice words, thank you." I smile at him. Then I look at the others.
"Really, thank you for the kind words. But this is only temperary, the wedding I mean. If you think about it, I'm acutally stealing this dress." I look down at the dress. When I get home to Chanel, she will be…I don't even know how to express it: "deeply confused and jealous", jealous because she likes dresses like this. I look back at Ahkmenrah, he looks down. Rose goes out to check on things. She will come back. I look again at Ahk.
"Hey…Is something worring you?" I ask and I grap his cheek, so I can look at him. His eyes are glowing, burning, i've never seen him like this. He has a little smile. He takes my hands.
"I promise you this. One day, you'll be able to wear this dress again." He kisses me before I can ask him what he means. When we break from this kiss, I want to ask him, but Rose comes in.
"Celina, we need to go."
"Okay, give me two seconds."
I look at Ahk, but now he looks casually at me. What the hell was that?!
"Go now, we'll see each other soon." He says and quickly gives me a kiss on the cheek. He lets go of my hands, and I follow Rose. Okay, that was really weird. But I can't think about this now.
I wait in my room for Rose to come back. She is apparently very busy. I sight and walks over to the balcony, I wasn't kidding, it's a big room. I walk outside and look in the distance. I see a village, beautiful, many people walking around, but they don't look wealthy. It must not be good for them here. I look up, not at the sun.
"Hey mom…Hey dad..." I smile a little, I know i'm just talking too thin air, but I believe that the dead can hear us. I shake my head and laugh.
"You know why i'm in this gorgeus dress, i'm about to marry a guy I don't love! How my life got to this point, I don't know!...Oh, wait, that because of this job." I've thought about this, I don't regret anything, I know that.
"But don't worry, I will get out of here, with the man I really love." I look down for a second, and then I put a hand on my chest.
"And that is Ahkmenrah…Always."
I hear knocks on the balcony door. I turn around and what I expected was Rose, but it's Kahmunrah. My smile disappears a little. I try to look surprised.
"Kahmunrah…What are you doing here?" I ask. Really, he is not suppose to be here. I remember the priest told me that the bride and groom must never meet before the ceremony. He smirks and comes closer to me.
"I know i'm not supose to be here, but I wanted to check that you weren't going anywhere…Right?" At first he is joking, but then he looks serious, his eyes turn dark. I don't like this look. I start to laugh nervously and I take his hands – even though I don't like it.
"What?! Haha, really?!...I mean, i'm still here, see!" I let go of his hands for a second and then I point at myself to show him i'm still here. If my parents were still here, they would say that I was doing looked ridiculous. I take his hands again.
"Why would you think that I would leave?" I ask. He lets go of my hands and looks out the balcony, too the village.
"The underground has been opened…"
'Really! You don't say!' I really want to say that, but I try to sound surprised.
"Oh, what?! No! You are kidding me right! How can that have happened?"
He looks at me, like there is something wrong with me. I laugh nervously a little again, then I look down. Focus! Sound like you mean it! When I look up, he is looking at the village again.
"I don't know." He says. "We just know someone from the museum is back. We've searched the village over 3 times and nothing is there! Whoever is hiding, is pretty good at it!" He has his hands fisted. I'm glad Ahk, Larry, Jedediah and Octavius are in the dungeons.
"I have a feeling that my dear brother is perhaps hiding here. But he is sneaky, just like when we were kids." He says. I want to sound more confindent, so I give him a cold look.
"He is gone, Kahmunrah. He isn't coming here."
He turns to see me, I keep my cold face, but he raises one eyebrow.
"Why do you believe that?" He asks. Oh…What do I answer to this? Wait, I know!
"Because he know that he can never take me back…I belong to you now." It hurts so bad to say that. I've crossed my fingers behind my back. He steps closer to me.
"Really?" He asks. I swallow.
"Yes, only you." I say, looking at him. I can't tell if he's happy or surprised, but he gently graps my chin and pulls me close so he kisses my cheek. I stop breathing. I'll wash my cheek when I get home.
"I'll see you soon, don't get cold feet." He looks at me one time and then opens up the balcony door, walking out of my room. When he is gone I breathe out, feeling like i've hold my breath for over a minute. I place my hand on my chest.
"You did well…Let's just get this over with. Let's go home." I say. I take a deep breath, shakes a little and then I exhale. I walk over to the balcony door, too my door. Rose is standing, waiting for me. She holds a buquet of flowers.
"Let's go meet the others, we'll start a little erlier." She says a little fast, she sounds a little stressed. I nod.
"O-Okay…"
She looks at me weirdly for a second, then she smirks. My eyes widen and I laugh, she laughs too.
"Are you nervous?" She asks. I laugh a little again, then I sight.
"Not nervous…Maybe 'scared' is a better word." I say.
"Why would say that?"
I look at her.
"Because there is a possibility that this plan won't work."
Rose shakes her head.
"It will work, you just have to believe it, like I do with believing that I will one day get married to Amun as we planed." She says, with a little smile. Hmm, believe…That is something I can do. I nod.
"Okay, i'll try." I say. Just think about the museum, family, friends, Ahkmenrah. We can do this. She gives me the buquet of flowers.
"Good, then let's meet the others. Follow me please." She says and starts walking. I follow.
Time to ruin a wedding!
Well…My wedding.
Took me a while to finish, but i've been very busy at the moment.
I hoped you like this chapter I had a lot of fun writing it.
So, a really cool guy told me about this contest on Inkitt, for 'complete' fanfictions, so I of course have joined the contest – For other readers with a story should definently join too!
But…It requires that I will have to complete this…ALL OF THIS. FINISH IT!
It's a good thing…And also a sad thing.
But I do have plans that after i've finished, i'll make a second one (a sequel! :D) I think i'll call it: The new night Guard 2 - *something awesome here*
That would be a great idea right?
But also, if you want to give my story a like (that supports it), that would make me really happy
Thanks for reading, I love you all! 3
