Chapter 6

The next morning, Evy found her self waking up alone again. This was no surprise to her, this is how she woke up since Rick had left her. Imhotep entered the room to get her.

"I have a message from one of my men that says they have found the body. We must leave for Hamunaptra so I may resurrect her." Evy looked at him with shock. Had last night met nothing to him? After she had given herself to him he was still going to kill her.

Mean while, Jonathan had found Rick and even managed to talk to him. He told him that Imhotep had taken Evy away to Hamunaptra to bring his girlfriend back.

"What am I suppose to do, Jonathan? Evy has feelings for Imhotep and she obviously doesn't care about me any more. She doesn't even talk to me about what's bothering her." Rick pushed Jonathan aside to go back to his room but Jonathan grabbed Rick's arm and pulled him back.

"You may walk away from my sister but you won't walk away from me. She needs you now just like she always needed you. She loves you, you just haven't given her the chance to show you that she loves you. Now Rick, I don't care if you think that you can just walk away from all this and be done with it but know this, my sister died because you wouldn't do anything about it." Rick looked at Jonathan admiring his braveness.

"Why don't you go do something about it?" Rick said with a very straight tone.

"Because I don't want to marry her. Yes, I know your little secret Rick. Before Evy told you about Imhotep, you planned on popping the question but you didn't, you just ran off to feel sorry for your self because you thought she cared more about Imhotep than she does for you. If you're going to be like this then I guess I have to change my mind and say that I would rather have Imhotep as a brother-in-law than having a coward that wouldn't even go after the woman he loved." With that Rick punched Jonathan. He wasn't to happy with what Jonathan had said but some of it was true. He did want to marry her and he didn't give her a chance to show how she truly felt for him. Jonathan got back up on his feet and walked out of the hotel. He now knew that Rick would be no help and that he would have to go after his sister alone. Just as he was about to get in the car he heard Rick calling for him.

"I'm sorry I punched you. I want to save your sister but I don't know if she wants to be saved." Rick looked at Jonathan with a worried look.

"Well get in the damn car and we can go find out. We might have to pick Ardeth up on the way though." With that the two men left to find Ardeth. Little did they now that Ardeth was at the scene already. Waiting to find out if any one would come to help him destroy evil again.

Imhotep, Evy, and the driver made it to the alter that Evy knew to well. Laying beside it was the mummified body of Anck-Su-Namun, waiting to be resurrected. Imhotep laid Evy on the alter and closed the shackles around her wrist and ankles. Evy wasn't putting up a fight because she had lost both of her loves and was to the point were she thought that she had nothing to live for. The driver handed the Book of the Dead to his commander and he started to read the inscription. Imhotep was about to raise Anck-Su-Namun's soul when Rick ran in and stopped the ritual. He grabbed the book and ran to Jonathan. Jonathan took the book as Rick went to help Evy.

"This is the last time you will interrupt me. You shall die here and now." Imhotep said walking toward Rick. Rick tried to run but there was no where for him to run to. Imhotep picked him up by his throat as he did last time and Rick was loosing air fast.

Evy was still shackled to the table next to the mummified body when Jonathan came down to help her. He had gotten all the restraints off of Evy when Imhotep dropped Rick's body to the ground. Evy gasped as she saw the man that she was actually in love with fall to the ground lifeless. It was then she realized that Rick was the one she was suppose to be with. She knew that she had to kill Imhotep once and for all but she didn't have the gold book to help her. As Imhotep made his way to Jonathan, Evy quickly ducked to the side to avoid being thrown across the room.

How am I suppose to kill this thing. Evy thought to herself then it came to her. If she could some how get Imhotep near the pool of liquid goo she could easily push him in and end his life. After Jonathan had gotten away Imhotep was fixed on getting Evy back on the alter and bringing back his beloved. Imhotep was now at the right position to fall into the goo but she wasn't able to get him in it. He grabbed her and put her back on the alter.

Jonathan was still trying to figure out where he was when he found a statue of a ancient Magi. Jonathan then got a brilliant idea. He would summon the Magi to kill the priest. But how do I do it. I don't have the Book of the Living. Jonathan was dumbfounded by this riddle. He then found some hieroglyphs on the side of the statue. Being the curious one he started to read them. All of a sudden a door opened to his left. He, again, found him self trying to figure out where it went. When he made it to the end of the room, he was aw struck by want he say. Piles of gold every where, and it was all his. He noticed one of the swords that was not on the floor but on a stand. As he read through the hieroglyphs on the stand he realized that he was the one that was going to kill Imhotep. He grabbed the sword and went to where Imhotep had Evy. He was almost finished with the spell, all he had to do was kill Evy and his love would be with him forever. Jonathan ran to try and beat him before he could kill her. He flung the sword above his head and came down on Imhotep with it. When Imhotep turned around he fell to the ground and pulled on Jonathan's pants leg. With the other hand he stabbed Jonathan with the knife he was holding and fell the rest of the way and died. Jonathan screamed out in pain. The knife had traveled through his leg out the other side. He too fell to the floor as Anck-Su-Namun's soul went back to the underworld.

"Jonathan are you ok?" Evy said worried that her brother had died.

"Yeah just a little beat up. How are you?"

"I would be better if you get me off this alter."

"Yeah, Yeah, calm down."

Jonathan slowly got up trying not to stand on his injured leg and released Evy.

"Oh my god Jonathan. We need to get you to a hospital right now."

"You need to check on Rick first then we can go to the hospital." Jonathan was trying to avoid the hospital entirely but knew that he had to go.

As Evy made her way to Rick she noticed that he wasn't moving. She started to cry as she knelt down beside him. She laid across his body with her head in her arms when she heard his heart beating.

"He's not dead. HE'S NOT DEAD." Evy screamed at Jonathan who had obviously got the message the first time. Evy started to do CPR and it worked. Rick came to and found himself looking upon the most beautiful woman he had every seen.

"I couldn't live without you. I guess Jonathan was the one that saved you this time." Rick shot Evy a small smile as he got up. He felt a little dizzy but it quickly wore off.

"You late." Jonathan said sarcastically as he saw Ardeth walk into the room. "We could have used your help. Didn't know how to kill him till I found this sword."

"I see you found the sword of Isis. The only weapon forged by man that can kill the creature."

"Why is that?" Jonathan asked puzzled.

"The gods blessed the sword so in a way it is a immortal weapon given to the mortal world to kill Imhotep."
