Chapter 2
An Egyptologist from America seeking the tomb of an ancient pharaoh of Egypt had stumbled onto the Book of the Dead. He had found the book in Thebes after checking the near by library for information about the pharaoh.
"How much do you want for this book?" He asked the shop keeper. The shop keeper stared at him and finally answered that he would give it to him for nothing. He didn't want the book because of the stories that he heard about a mummy coming to life. The American took the book wondering why the man had given it to him for nothing.
As he walked through the dig sight he was reading from the book. He only read it to himself, he didn't want to interrupt the diggers with him reading. He decided to take the book to a near by rock away from the digging and began to read it out loud. All of a sudden there was a loud rumbling and the ground began to shake violently. The sounds stopped as did the ground. The American went to check on his digging crew only to find out that he was there alone. He felt as though he was being watched and turned around to see nothing but sand and the rock that he had sat on to read the book. He then turned again only to find a half decade person behind him. He tried to scream but all that came out was air.
"You have awoken me. For this I thank you. Why are you here?" Imhotep said trying to figure things out.
"I came in search of a pharaoh. Who are you?" The man was startled by what he saw and was starting to back away from Imhotep.
"I am Imhotep, pharaoh's high priest and keeper of the dead. I must find my prey so I can regenerate. To do so you must get the cursed chest and have men open it. I will pay you greatly."
The American agreed and he knew where the chest, Imhotep had referred to, was. He quickly got the chest and told a group of men that he had some treasure in it but couldn't get it open. They agreed to help him open it and as the American left to get a hammer the men got it opened. Imhotep then appeared and killed the men for full regeneration.
After he had found himself decent close he decided that he no long needed the American and that all he would do was bug him about the treasure. He took him out of the crowed market and killed him in the alleyway. After that he had to find out where the woman that got away was so he could bring back his love.
