Kidnapped
By: DKorley.
CHAPTER 3
A MONTH LATER
"Want a drink?" Izzy sat with Johnathan giving him a glass of wine, Johnathan smiled accepting the glass of wine. He took a gulp smacking his lips afterwards.
"I remember when me and Evy were kids, I was the older one. She always bottled her emotions, we were never close. Until when our uncle started visiting, he tolerated me a lot. But somehow he liked her more, he would take her out all the time and when she came home I was getting a little suspicious."
" Did you ever find out what happend?" Johnathan took another gulp.
"My uncle and I had an argument, I was thrown outside. My parents were at work and I found my way back in, I went upstairs and saw Evy backing away from him. I called the police and he was taken away, she told me that he never raped her. He always touched her a lot,I never even heard of a grown man wanting to ruin an innocent child like Evy, so I was very overprotective during the years until she found Rick. Now he's gone and she might be there, I know she is strong but I'm just so worried to death."
Izzy was quite shocked, he patted Johnathan's shoulder. Johnathan smiled sadly sighing.

Evy winced when Ardeth tended her wounds, after she had refused so many times he still wouldn't listen. He put a towel in the hot water inside a bucket and after that he squeezed it letting the water out and putting them on Evy's bruises.
"Just because you're tending me doesn't mean we will be friends again." Ardeth kept on tending her wounds.
"I do not care, your wounds must be tended." he said quietly.
He knew Evy mad about recently and Rick's death, and she was so worried about Alex. Ardeth finally finished with her bruises and put the items back in place. He wrapped some bandages around her arm.
"I need to do your waist." Ardeth said.
"My waist is just fine!" she said dangerously, Ardeth knew after what had happened to her she was probably cautious.
"Trust me, I'm harmless."
Evy hesitated a bit, she didn't know why she has been mean to Ardeth. Also is because she had nothing under the dress she was wearing.
"Um, I have nothing under."
"What?"
"I have nothing under!" she almost yelled, Ardeth looked a little angry.
"Look I am trying to..never mind you can do it yourself." He gave Evy the bandage, she snatched it out of his hand.
"Well what are you waiting for turn!" she said, Ardeth quickly turned. Minutes passed and he was getting a little impatient.
"I'm done." he heard Evy say and turned.They then just minded their own business in an uncomfortable silence, Evy felt a lot of remorse treating Ardeth like that, like he was one of them. But she didn't have the nerve to just apologize to him.
"So why are you working for your brother?" she asked suddenly, Ardeth hesitated a bit putting Evy in an uncomfortable state before he talked.
"If I fight him there might be a chance I will fail and he will do worst to people in Egypt."
"But he is! And you don't even have the nerve to stand up to him." Evy said. Ardeth looked angry.
"Look, I don't like to take risks."
"Then what will happen! You might as well slowly be like him and watch him kill more innocent people!" Ardeth banged his hand in the small table almost suprising Evy and he glared at her.
"Don't you ever say that again!" he yelled.
"Or what?" she asked him mocking him."If you don't want to hear me say that then go to him and you show him who is the real leader...Now if you don't mind I'm going to bed and you sleep on the floor." she said proceeding to do so.
Ardeth just sat there shocked of what he heard from Evy, she was right. He had to fight him but he was wary of the consequences. Ardeth was wary because his brother killed Rick O'connell, the one who was a very strong man.If Ardeth lost he would lose the most important people in his life, like Evy. She would suffer under Anhur's wrath and she will be forced to see Alex grow to be like them. The Med-jai warriors aren't suppose to be like this, Ardeth was very full of things he was worried about.
Evy saw Ardeth fall asleep instantly, she was so worried about Alex and Miranda and also Izzy who was left to die. She thought of Rick who might be very angry to see Anhur treat her like this, and she slowly began to cry softly. She missed Rick so much and she has been having these strange feelings for Ardeth suddenly. It has been almost a month since Rick had died and it was too soon to move on. She didn't want to move on, she sighed smiling at a few memories. One when Rick had proposed to her.
Flashback
"The lake is really beautiful Rick, thanks for taking me here." Evy said.
She was sitting next to Rick who had his arms around her, her head on his shoulders.
"I figured you would love this place instead of those books you've been reading." Evy laughed kissing him.They were silent for a moment until Rick pulled back standing up looking at a confused Evy who stood up as well.
He held her hands and took a deep breath.
"Evy, we've been together for six months now. I know it's too soon but I just don't want to lose you, I want to be with you forever. You are so amazing, you're spiritual, you're everything a man would want. And I know that I would'nt find someone like you. That's why I'm asking you.."
Evy saw Rick search in his pocket and brought out a small velvet box, she gasped.When he kneeled down opening it revealing a diamond ring.
"Evelyn Carnarhan, will you marry me?"
She began to cry out of joy."Yes"
Rick got up and hugged her lifting her up and kissing her, he put her down and put the ring on her finger before kissing her again
End Flashback
Evy cried herself to sleep, Ardeth had heard her. He felt like a scared person the way he just stands there seeing his brother kill. He did it for long that it ended up to Rick dead and his family in danger.

Alex sat by the fireplace with the other Med-jai men, he was in their uniform now but was not fighting now. He was young, he saw them in digust drinking wine and turning into drunkards. He was worried about his mother and Miranda, he couldn't believe what his mother had did for him. And he felt very guilty of it he was about to cry and quickly wiped his eyes.
"Don't be a baby." he said to himself.
He felt a tap on his shoulder and turning to see a boy with brown hair and tan skin, he looked like he was fifteen and offered Alex a cup of water.
"You thirsty?" Alex nodded and took the cup drinking it."I'm Allan" the boy said extending his hand for Alex who shaked it.
"Alex."
"A pleasure to meet you Alex."
"You too."
