Story : The Double Faced Mirror
Title Chapter : The Resurection
Chapter 6 of who knows how many.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Nick, Adele, and Axia, Them I made up.
Note to readers : I apologize for taking so long with this.
It's been hectic. Fanfictio.net has been sick for a few days and I've
been held up. Here is the awaited Chapter 6. It isn't that great because
I kind of wrote it in like twenty minutes... but chapter 7 is great and
I'll try and send that out in the next two days, it's already written.
Well I hope you like it!
Loud voices were heard as horses galloped to the entrance of Hamanaptra. A man stood
inside the temple entrance, his deep dark eyes staring out at the riders that were coming.
His plan was coming along perfectly. Soon his goddess would stand by his side and she
will once again regain the powers of Anubis and they will rule the world. A small grin fell
upon his lips. She waited now for the Book of the Dead inside the temple. He had been
tracking her for years... his interest in the secrets of Egypt turning to an unhealthy
obsession and now he finally had her... she belonged to him. Egyptian dialect was heard as
a hand ran towards him, bounding up the steps to hand him a large package wrapped in
burlap. The hand bowed and Stefan glanced at him then turned away, entering into the
deep depths of the darkness below.
Brown eyes flickered up to watch a familiar form descend down the steps towards
her. A smirk fell on her gold painted lips, her face a masterpiece of beauty. She moved
forward, the gold scales of her top clanking, her beaded skirt revealing just enough skin to
keep her pet on his leash. She was provocative and seductive, evil to the core... He soon
found his way to her side and she stared at him.
"My goddess I have brought what you have requested..." He grinned and she
stepped forward, leaning on his body, her lips coming close to his ear.
"Show me..." She whispered softly and a tremor went through his body. He walked
to a table and unwrapped the burlap package. She followed and pushed him out of the
way, her eyes glowing as she surveyed her treasure. She ran her fingers across its dark
surface and then the lock
"Are you pleased?" A deep English voice asked and Neferkare grinned, one of her
fingers playing with the necklace that rested around her throat.
"For the moment." She replied and the man walked to the other side of the table,
his dark features a great contrast to hers. He was tall and sturdy but not at all bright. She
smirked, his name was Steven but he refereed to himself as Stefan and he had somehow
gotten it into his head that she was his. "Where is the key?" She asked quietly.
"We were not aware there was one. A fact that can easily be remedied." Stefan
smirked, his ego was rather large for the groveling types.
"You fool." She suddenly spat and he blinked. "No doubt the book wasn't just
waiting for us to collect.." Neferkare hissed. "The O'Connells know that we have obtained
the book and they most probably possess the key.... They will come to Hamanaptra to stop
me." Neferkare hissed and turned away from the table. Stefan approached her and gently
slid his hand down her bare back. She rolled her eyes annoyed. "Yet, no one will stop
me..."
"No one my love." Stefan smiled and Neferkare grinned, this might suit her plan
better then she expected. She stepped away from Stefan's grasp and towards an ornate
throne. Seductively she settled herself into it and stared at the man who had brought her
back seemingly from the dead... locking away her petty human self to reveal the Egyptian
Goddess she was always ment to be. The fool... if only he realized how she used him... he
along with the O'Connells will never leave Hamunaptra alive.
"There it is!" Alex suddenly called from the other side of the dirigible. Everyone's
head raised and they made their way to that direction. Silence came over them as they
surveyed Hamanuptra... above the sands and glowing in all of it's mystic glory.
"She no doubt has had many days to prepare for our coming... seeing that we have
the key." Ardeth said and Nick shook his head.
"No, she knew we were coming before that..." He said and Evi looked down at the
city and wrapped an arm around her son.
"Then let us not disappoint her." She whispered quietly and Rick looked at her.
"Izzy.." Rick said as he grabbed Izzy's collar and yanked him foreword. "I want
you to stay in this boat and watch these children with your life." He said forcefully and
Izzy gulped. They had landed on the outskirts near Hamunaptra, successfully hidden
behind a large sand dune. "We are going out to scout and meet with Ardeth's generals who
will be a league away. At nightfall we will come back for all of our supplies and we will
enter into the city." Rick said and Izzy nodded again.
"Sure thing O'Connell." Izzy said and pulled his shirt back. He straightened it then
looked at the two kids who were staring at him. He cleared his throat and walked toward
the cockpit of the boat.
"Right then... So I should stay here too?" Jonathan asked and Rick shook his head,
cocking one of his guns before her replaced it in it's holder.
"No, you're coming with us." He replied and Jonathan nodded.
"Right then... so now would be a good time to give me a gun." Jonathan said and
Rick looked at him and a smile curled at the end of his lips. He picked up a riffle and
cocked it, handing it to Jonathan. Jonathan nodded and walked away, throwing the
weapon's strap over his shoulder.
Evi gently bent down and grabbed onto Alex and Axia.
"I'll be back soon... please watch out for each other and... Izzy." She said casting a
sideways glance at the dark man who stood watching over everything.
"Don't worry Mum... we'll be all right." Alex smiled and Evi smiled as well. She
hugged her son tightly and then hugged Axia.
"Come on Evi..." Rick said and Evi walked towards him. Rick looked at his son
and winked then he climbed out of the dirigible to join the others. Alex and Axia watched
them depart and they sighed.
"I hate being left behind." Axia mumbled and Alex nodded.
"Look... let me show you something." Alex said as he walked to the other side of
the dirigible. Axia obediently followed and watched as he dug through some netting to pull
out a black octangular box. "My Uncle John let me.... uh.. borrow it." Alex grinned and
Axia reached for it.
"What's this now?" Izzy said as he snatched the object away from them.
"It has no value except to open a lock." Alex said and Izzy examined the strange
thing further.
"A lock to what?" Izzy questioned.
"The Book of the Dead." Axia said quietly and suddenly Izzy jumped back, the box
falling to the ground.
"I certainly don't want no part of that!" Izzy yelled, walking back to his part of the
ship. Axia scooped it up.
"This is what my mother needs." She whispered quietly and Alex nodded.
"Yeah... she needs it to do bad things all right." He said and Axia nodded and sat
down inspecting the thing.
"I wonder what she wants to do with it?" Axia asked into the desert air and Alex
shrugged as he sat next to her. Izzy walked away, mumbling something about how insane
this mission was turning out to be... not to mention dangerious for him. Eyes glanced at the
three from all around them and they advanced towards the dirigible... the kids were to be
taken alive and the key was to be captured.
Evi and Rick were silent. Jonathan knew enough to keep quiet as well and he
inched closer to his only family. They began there travel back to the dirigible as the sun
began to set. It was a disaster watching Nick go under investigation from the twelve leaders
of the tribes of the Med-Jai and Ardeth did not help the situation. Evi glanced at her
husband and then at Nick. Nick was disband from the secret order of the Med-jai for
failing to kill his wife and putting others in danger. Nick left swearing to finish the job
himself and he would attack any Med-jai that stood in his way. That included Ardeth Bay.
Finally they saw the dirigible in the distance and Evi sped up, Rick following after her.
"Alex..." She called softly as she reached the side of the contraption and she looked
inside. A confused face formed on her features and Rick looked around as well. "Alex?"
She called and climbed into the contraption, Rick jumping in as well. "Axia?" She asked
and the others neared the ship. They walked around till suddenly Evi let out a horrified
gasp. "Rick! They've taken them!" She cried out and Rick rushed to her side, the bloody
unconscious form of Izzy lay on the ground, a broken stick in his hands that he had used as
a weapon to defeat whoever had attacked them. Quickly Rick grabbed onto his wife,
hugging her into his chest as Jonathan rushed forward with Ardeth to check on the pilot.
"He's out cold... but he is alive." Ardeth said and Rick held tightly to his wife who
began to sob.
"She has him Rick... she has our son..." She cried sadly and Rick looked at the
others, a new spark of determination glinting in his eyes, fear being masked with them as
well.
Jonathan ran a hand through his hair and began to pace. He stuffed his hands in his
pockets then he halted completely.
"Oh no." He mumbled and everyone turned to look at them. "The key... it's gone."
He said and Nick stared at him.
"The kids must have it... it has to be why they took them into Hamanuptra." Nick
said and he grabbed a large bag of artillery. "I don't know about you but I'm going in there
to rescue my daughter now... anyone with me?" He asked and everyone stepped forward
and began to grab supplies. Within minutes, they had left the dirigible and traveled to meet
Neferkare.
The man violently pushed Alex forward.
"Watch it!" Alex yelled as he adjusted his jacket then he gasped meeting the eyes of
a women who looked exactly like his mum. He felt Axia being shoved into him and he
almost lost his balance.
"My love... your key." Stefan grinned as he approached handing the black box to
Neferkare. She smirked, taking it from his hands and she approached the children.
"Hey that's not yours!" Alex yelled and tried to rush forward but a guard grabbed
him and held him back. Alex struggled and looked at the women dressed in Egyptian garb
before him.
"Well, it is now." Neferkare grinned and another guard pulled Axia to her feet,
holding her as steady as the other was holding Alex.
"Mother!" Axia cried and Neferkare turned her eyes on the small child. "Mother
it's me Axia! Remember me! Remember your promise never to leave me!" Axia cried and
suddenly a loud smack was heard as the back of Stefan's hand cruelly slapped across
Axia's cheek, knocking her to the floor. Neferkare's eyes flashed and she pulled a dagger
from one of the turbans waists and stabbed it into Stefan's back.
"You have out served your usefulness!" She hissed into his ear and his face
contorted into pain as he fell to his knees in front of the children. Both of them screamed
and Neferkare twisted the knife.
"We were suppose to rule the world..." He quietly whispered and Neferkare's deep
intoxicating laugh filled the room.
"You fool... why would I ever share the world with you? You are nothing and I am
glad to be rid of you." She hissed and his form fell to the sandy floor, his eyes wide open
and his form dead. She smirked and looked back at the kids.
"Put them in the cage... they can watch me make history." Neferkare smirked and
the children were dragged away.
"My mother's going to get you." Alex hissed and Neferkare laughed and grasped
his chin, squeezing his cheeks together.
"I'm counting on it." She laughed and Axia began to kick, but was no use against
her guard.
"Mother!" Axia cried and Neferkare smirked, fingering the octangualar box in her
hand. Gently she twisted it making it pop open.
"Bring in the body." She hissed to a hand and walked to a long table where five jars
sat. A red turban entered and carried in the lifeless body and placed it on the alter. It's vital
organs had been removed earlier and now she walked to the book of the dead. She pressed
the metal key into it's hold and turned, the book snapping open.
Rick and Nick walked forward, throughout the camp, their guns held high and they
began to fire as unsuspecting men rose from their seats around their fires in alarm. Evi and
Jonathan traveled after them, Ardeth keeping up the rear. Men sprawled to their deaths as
bullets interacted with their chests.
"So much for the sneak in at night approach eh Evi?" Jonathan asked as more
bodies fell from Rick and Nick's weapons.
"She has my child Jonathan... If she's going to play dirty... then so am I." Evi
replied and Jonathan nodded, a gulp dying down in his throat.
The large room loomed and Alex and Axia gripped to the bars of their cage as they
stared at the women across the room. With a somewhat evil glint in her eye Neferkare had
finished the incantation, her heavily accented Egyptian rolling off perfectly. Alex gulped
and stared down at Axia who looked up at him too.
"She's always been very resourceful..." Axia mumbled and Alex furrowed his
brows. "Of course this really is quite different from that pasta puzzle she created when I
was bored..."
"I'd say just a bit." Alex said and turned to stare at his 'Aunt'. The body on the
alter began to stir violently as it rose and sucked in it's first horrifying breath. The two
children watched it convulse more then let out a painful scream. Neferkare stepped back
and tilted her head to the side curiously. After a few minutes of shivering the creature
finally turned, startled brown eyes that had been asleep for more then three thousand years
looked at the cold eyes of a familiar face. Alex and Axia leaned forward, their fingers
gripping onto the confines of their cage as they tried to steal a peak. When the creature
turned to glance around it's surroundings and they got a look they stared at each other
horrified. A terrified scream escaped both their lips as they turned to stare at the creature
then back at each other... then at Neferkare then at the creature again.
------------------------------
I realize this is kinda short but I had to end on a cliffhanger.
Sorry! Well, tell me what you think! A good writer always wants to
know when they suck! To my faithful readers, I love you guys and
sorry it took so long for me to write this.
I'll post Chapter seven real soon for you guys.
