I don't own any of these characters, except Rebecca's appearance.
So I Might Not Look the Same...
Chapter 1: Pure Insanity
Rebecca Joan had always loved Egypt since she was a little kid. She loved the rich history, the temples, the gods, and everything about it. She wished she could tell people that Egypt was in her blood, like Rachel Weisz, her favorite actress, had said about her Egypt-loving character Evy Carnahan in Rebecca's favorite movie, 'The Mummy'.
The truth was, Rebecca was far from Egyptian. Her hair was blond and silky, and her eyes were chocolate brown. She was fair-skinned, and quite attractive really. Yet, even with her beauty, she had never had a single boyfriend. She didn't know why she kept refusing offers of love from the most handsome boys in school but it just didn't feel right.
Rebecca was sure that she wanted to be an Egyptologist when she grew up. "I love Egypt!" She would say to her mother, "I dream about it, I live it, I breathe it, it's part of me, I swear!" Her dreams of Egypt were very strange. They always took place in Ancient times, and Rebecca's hair was black, her eyes dark, and her skin painted with the beautiful designs of Ancient Egypt.
Every day after school, Rebecca's mother would come pick the 16-year-old girl up and drive for an hour down the highway before reaching their house. It was a very boring routine. One day, after being picked up especially late because of chess club, Rebecca and her mother were driving home, watching a beautiful sunset. All the good radio stations had commercials on, so Mrs. Joan had turned the radio off.
Rebecca watched the pink-and-purple clouds shift in the wind, until she could have sworn she saw one the shape of a human face. Her spine tingled. It looked familiar.
"Open the door... leap out..." A frightening little whisper in the back of her head said. Rebecca was startled. "Wait, you want me to open the car door and leap out onto the highway going 75 MPH?" She questioned the voice. "Do it..." The ghostly voice whispered. "That's pure insanity!" She thought, but without her telling her body to, without meaning to, something made her open the manual lock on the car door, unbuckle her seatbelt and fling herself onto the side of the highway. Her body hit the grassy hill slope beside the highway and she blacked out.
The next thing that she felt was pain. Complete and total pain. She opened one bruised eye just a crack. She saw her mother crying and screaming, and a few ambulances, that had probably just arrived seconds before she awoke, because they hadn't done anything to her yet.
Her mind drifted in and out of contiousness. But she could remember one thing. Her dream, except it wasn't a dream, more like a memory, and it had been clearer. She remembered a man... Imhotep. Imhotep?! She thought, That's crazy! Imhotep is a movie character! But it had been him, Imhotep, in her dream/memory. How did I know it was Imhotep? She questioned herself. The answer was simple. The man in her dreams looked like Arnold Vosloo's, who played Imhotep in the movie, twin! If she had not known better she would have said it was him!
"C'mon miss," A voice said, "We're gonna take you to a hospital." Rebecca was strapped up and put inside the ambulance.
On the ride there, all her pounding head could think of was Imhotep...Imhotep...Imhotep. It was strange. She got a feeling of intense passion just by saying the name, though this had never happened before. Rebecca laid back and let her dreams overrun her confused thoughts.
