Here's next chapter. Enjoy. Almost finished with story and am going to the next movie which I have a lot of good ideas for. : )




Chapter 21: Rats don't talk

As you probably already know, Rick, Jon and Are were wasting their time in Hamanatra and only after getting distracted by a room full of gold, going the wrong way, and stopping at the bar were they finally making their way to the library to find the "Guide on how to kill Mummies and stop the Apocalypse, volume 109." As you can see, Imhotep had plenty of time to perform the sacrifice, but he was too busy reading Evelyn her Mummy tale stories. Now as Rick, Jon and Are were walking to the library Imhotep was just beginning the ceremony. He went to get the book "Guide on How to Rise Mummies from the Dead and Bring About the Destruction of the World, volume 8." Right after he left the room Evelyn woke up to find herself chained with this dirty ugly rat on her stomach.

"Oh dear rat sir!" She said sincerely.

"Please help me."

The rat just stared at her with its beady black eyes and it's pink nose twitching. Evelyn tugged at the chains.

"Oh dear Mister Rat. Could you please chew through these chains?"

The rat just stared at her cluelessly or better said, without a clue.

"I guess rats can't chew through chains." Evelyn said downcast.

"Then could you at least go get Rick and the other's, Mister Rat?" she asked sweetly.

The rat just stared not saying anything because . . . um, rats can't talk. Apparently Evelyn didn't realize this. What she suddenly did realize was that she was horrified of rats. She screamed terrified and tried to push the rat off her stomach by twisting to her left only to realize a mummy corpse was grinning at her. It was Anck-su-namun's corpse and it seemed to be grinning at her. The rat hopped off onto the corpse and onto the floor. Luckily the corpse wasn't alive or she would have screamed too.

Just then Imhotep came back and saw that Evelyn had woken. He opened the book and smiled mischievously at Evelyn. She looked up at him nervously. Why had he had her chained? She weakly pulled at the chains, but to no avail. Even though they were old, the chains were still strong.

Imhotep opened the book and set it down in Evelyn's stomach. "Off!" She said. "Watch out that thing is heavy!" She yelled. "Sorry." He sheepishly said in Egyptian. "Yet you are gonna die anyway!" He said almost cheery like.

"What! But I wasn't put in this story to die!" She yelled.

"I'm gonna sacrifice you and usually that means you will be, um sort of dead." Imhotep mumbled.

"Oh! I guess your right." Evelyn said thoughtfully. "I keep forgetting about the sacrifice thing. All right then. Carry on." She said. Then screamed "Hurry up Rick and Jon!"

But nobody heard her except the rats. And rats don't talk. As we already found out earlier. If only they did, then they could have told our three hero's that Evelyn was just about close to death with the whole sacrificing business. But our hero's three still had not found the other book yet. But we will learn about them in the next chapter. One thing though, if you are ever chained to a big stone slab or sacrificing table and you happen to see a rat. Don't bother talking to it because once again, RATS DON'T TALK!



[Pretty short chapter I suppose. Longer one coming up next . . .]
