Chapter 9:Imhotep's Triumph

Rick walked back into the room where Imhotep looked like Christmas was never going to end. "It's done," said Rick and he held up the knife. "Excellent," said Imhotep as one of the walls turned around and revealed Evelyn with blood going down her, Jonathan with a spike going trough his leg, and Ardeth in a very deep sleep. The sight of them brought Rick out of Imhotep's spell. "Evelyn? What happened?" Rick walked up to her. He put his hand on her cheek (she was burning up) Evelyn woke up with her left arm still numb. "Rick.." she said softly "What happened?" asked Rick "I can answer that," said Imhotep. "Wake!!" he yelled. Jonathan and Ardeth woke up. "Now to fill you all in. Rick's tunnel led him right here. Evelyn's led her into a totally dark trap were she would encounter a mutated bear that was suppose to bit her in the neck and kill her but her being smart and strong managed to only get bit in the shoulder.
Jonathan was dumb enough to pass his death trap then got scared and ran back to it and fell in the hole but somehow the spike only went trough his leg.
Ardeth had all of the answers on the walls and when he finally got smart enough to read it he cleverly added jasmine leafs to the scorpion poison making it a sleeping gas. Anything else?" "Yes! Where's Lizzy?" asked Rick "You of all people should know," said Imhotep as he pointed to the bloody knife in Rick's hand. Then he snapped his fingers and 2 mummies came in holding what looked like and old stretcher. On it lied a very bloody, almost lifeless Lizzy. Lizzy could no longer feel anything but a piercing pain every time she breathed in. When she saw Rick she noticed his eyes were filling up with tears. He was no longer under Imhotep's spell. She did not want him to think this was his fault. "I didn't do that," said Rick. "Yes you did," said Imhotep and holographic people shot out of the ground. It showed a 3-D image of what had happen. When it was over no one said anything. Rick by now was wet with tears. He walked over to Lizzy. "Lizzy, I'm so sorry. Please don't die," cried Rick on his knees Lizzy tried to speak. She had to tell him it wasn't his fault but every time she opened her mouth it would fill with blood. So she lifted her hand and put it gently on his face. He was getting blurry she felt her body raise. Rick watched as his sister's hand fell for his face and her eyes close as last tear stream down her face and join her blood. He sat there for a couple minutes hoping she would open her eyes again. When she didn't he had to face the truth, she was dead! "No...why did you make me do this?" asked Rick in his tears. "Don't worry she's not completely gone. Join your wife," Imhotep motioned for the 2 mummy guards to drag Rick over to Evelyn. "Watch what you have interrupted many times."
Imhotep walked over to the book of the dead and began read the incantations. "He's going to bring back Nefretari!" said Evelyn. After Imhotep was done a stream of smoke come out of the large well and went into Lizzy's mouth. Lizzy's body jolted up. She sat up and coughed up the left behind blood from Lizzy's death. "Imhotep!!" said Nerfrtair "My love." Imhotep and Nerfrtair meet each other half way and kissed each other like they would never see each other again. "I thought I lost you forever," she said in between kisses. "Nothing would keep us apart not even death," said Imhotep "What are we going to do?" asked Jonathan. "I have an idea, don't interfere and Rick take my wedding ring," said Evelyn. Rick looked at his wife. She was very smart but sometimes it took an open mind to understand her and this was definitely one of these times. While Imhotep and Nerfrtari where caught up in each other Evelyn managed to get free then-- "How could you?!!" yelled Evelyn. Imhotep and Nerfrtair stopped and looked at her. "Nefertiri? What are you doing here?" asked Nerfrtair "I am here because we were going to get married but then he realized he wanted more than 1 so he brought back Anck-Sunamun .Then she found out his plan and tried to kill me. But I got the best of her now he has brought you back so he may have all of the "top beauties" to himself," said Evelyn with very convincing tears in her eyes. "Is this true?" ask Nerfrtari. "Are you really thinking of believing her? She's not Nerfrtari, she's Evelyn O'Connell. She has a husband and a son," said Imhotep in a voice that was filled with pure shock. "I'm going to ask you a question that only Nerfrtiti would know if you get it right we will consider the fact that you're telling the truth," said Nerfrtari. Evelyn agreed but she was scared for she didn't know anything about her previous life except what she had seen in her visions. "All right, where were we when we met Imhotep for the first time?" asked Nerfrtari. Evelyn's heart began to thump in her chest. She had no idea so she said the first thing that came to her mind. "It was at my fathers celebration," said Evelyn as sure as she could say it without sounding scared. "Wrong! We had gotten word that the new priest was cute so we hid in his room until he came. Then by accident he found us but was not mad instead he was amused," said Nerfrtari.
Imhotep was smiling as Evelyn backed up and looked over at Rick. Rick could tell his wife was lost for words. Imhotep and Nerfrtari were coming closer to Evie so Rick kicked Jonathan. Jonathan let out a painful yell. With Imhotep and Nerfrtari's attention was on Jonathan, Evelyn found the opportunity to get the first punch. Evelyn ran up and tried to kick Nerfrtari in the face but her foot was stopped by Nerfrtari's hand. Evelyn dose a backwards flip. Evelyn realizes that she doesn't have anything to fight with so she looks around. There's nothing but an old broken sword. She picks it up. Imhotep laughs and with a wave of his hand, Nerfrtari is handed a gold sword with blue satfire diamonds all around the handle. "Rick! Lizzy's gone but you can still save your wife!" Ardeth yelled to a very distraught Rick. Rick knew Ardeth was right so he started to work off his chains. Meanwhile Evelyn was loosing very badly and she knew it. "Have you had enough yet?" asked Nerfrtari. "I'm not dead," said Evelyn as she tried to pull her bleeding body up. Nerfrtari looked at her and then raised her sword to finish her off when Rick came in and stooped the sword from terminating his wife. With the power of Rick's sword he threw Nerfrtari back into Imhotep, knocking both of them down. "Why would you want my husband to suffer like Imhotep suffered when you died?" asked Evelyn as Rick helped her up. It was like Evelyn had just said something stupid because everyone looked at her. "Do you want to be like Anck-Sunamun?" asked Evelyn. Nerfrtari's eyes started to fill with tears. "Nefertiai?" asked Nerfrtari. Nerfrtari dropped her sword and smiled. She started to walk over to give Evelyn a huge when a gunshot goes off and she falls to the ground. Imhotep screams and everything seems to be in slow motion. He runs to scoop her up before she completely falls to the ground. Rick and Evelyn looks to see where the gunshot was fired. Jonathan had some how managed to get free and was holding Rick's gun. He looked very shocked at the sight of blood that was brought up by him. Rick and Evelyn watched as Imhotep screamed over the body of his love. "Please..don't..leave me ..again," he yelled. "I'll give you my immortal soul, just stay still." Imhotep starts mumble some saying. His blue spirit starts to form. Nerfrtari starts shacking as she struggles to breathe. Her grip on Imhotep's robes has made her fingers white, tears are streaming freely down her cheek. Imhotep than asks her to open her mouth so she could receive immortality but just then another shot went off and Imhotep's body goes limp over Nerfrtari's body. Jonathan had shot another fire. Ardeth(who was now free)grabbed the gun away from him. Jonathan's bullet had went trough Imhotep's lower back and straight through to Nerfrtari(which finished her off).Everyone watched as a stream of Nerfrtari's blood joined a stream of Imhotep's blood. Evelyn felt herself crying. That could have been her and Rick. In a way it was like her and Rick. Both of them had done everything in their power to keep the other safe. Imhotep was willing to give her his immortal soul just to keep her alive. She had died twice for their love and still never got to enjoy it. Maybe in the next 1,000 years. "Wait! Rick, Ardeth put Lizzy's body on that bed of silk," said Evelyn. Rick and Ardeth pulled Imhotep's corps off Lizzy's dead body and put her where Evelyn requested. Evelyn had retrieved the book of the dead and was reading the incantations. With a gasp for her first breath Lizzy sat up and looked around. "What happened?" she asked "We have the rest of our lives to tell you." said Rick as he hugged her.
