Disclaimer : I do not own The Mummy or The Mummy Returns.
Note : I've noticed incredibly stupid spelling mistakes I've made on the seconds chapter. First, there's a spot I wrote "On the top of the MOUNTAIN" instead of "Top of the PYRAMID". I've also wrote "Oi'Seer" By mistake the first couple of times. It's just a typo, His name is Io'Seer. I'm INCREDIBLY sorry for all the typos. I just type to fast. With that said, Enjoy this new and wonderful chapter! Don't worry. I'm going to show more Ardeth soon. This story is going to be maily about Ardeth and Jonathan, but so far it's been Jonathan and Alex. lol. xD. I meant to put in alot more Jonathan then actually did. I would have, but Ardeth is the one who knows what's going on; not Jonathan.
Jonathan noticed Alex siting alone, quietly, on a rock. Jonathan slowly steped towards him. Alex's face look drained and he looked a little stressed out. Jonathan was the first to notice how quiet Alex has been.
"Alex, are you tired?" Asked Jonathan, trying to somehow start a conversation.
Alex just shook his head no; but the truth was, Alex was actually quite tired. Really tired.
"Jonathan, do you have any idea where Io'Seer went to, by any chance?" Asked Ardeth as he walked towards both Alex and Jonathan.
"No, Ardeth. Evy walked in and scared him off. She had a gun in her hands but didn't even shoot him." Replied Jonathan, still upset that Evy didn't kill the man that was going to kill him when she had a perfect chance.
"She let him go?" Said Ardeth disapointed, and showed it by sighing. It was good that she hadn't killed him because she didn't know what was going on, but it was pretty obvious that what was going on wasn't a good thing.
Jonathan nodded as a reply. Ardeth started walking away from the rock Alex was sitting at, so Alex got off of it and followed Ardeth to ask him a question, wich had been bugging Alex.
"Ardeth, what's going on? Why are they after us?" Asked Alex in great curiousity while poking Ardeth's back. Ardeth slowly turned around to face Alex.
"I shall tell you soon enouth, Alex." Answerred Ardeth, turning around to go speak with Rick and Evy.
Jonathan ran inside his house, maily to get the thing he got from the top of the pyramid. He ran into his bedroom, and took off a painting from the wall. The painting was of a flower pot with but a single rose inside of it. He slowly put the painting on the ground. Behind where the painting was when it was on the wall was a wall-safe. He took a deep breath and slowly opened it. When it was finaly opened, he took out what looked just like a big diamond.
'This is what their after,' thought Jonathan, 'this is what they need; but why?'. Jonathan sat down on his bed for a momment, looking straight into it. He noticed something new; Inside of it, in the center, was sparkling, a little. 'That's odd...'
He wonderred what Io'Seer was up to, andif he truly belived his lie about giving it away. He then remembered Evy not killing the damn man. 'It was obvious he was up to no good; She had a perfect aim, and a perfect chance to kill him'. Jonathan got up to look into all the rooms in his house, just to make sure no one was in it. He found no one, and if someone was in it, they'd be hidding pretty good.
Jonathan then headed out the house. He must have spent an hour in there.
"Jonathan, come over here!" Shouted Rick as Jonathan came out of his house. Jonathan walked up towards Rick, who was siting on the ground along with Evy, Alex, and Ardeth to join them.
"It's okay, Laura, everything is going to be alright," wishpered Jonathan as he sat down, hoping no one hadheard him, but unfortunatly, it wasn't low enouth.
"You called it 'Laura'?" Asked Ardeth smilling, trying not to laugh. At this, Evy and Rick let out a small laugh, causing Jonathan wish he hadn't said anything.
"Okay, Ardeth, so what's going on around here?" Asked Rick, getting a bit impatient.
"Well, Laura, as Jonathan calls it" Began Ardeth, pausing for a momment to see Jonathan's reaction. Jonathan frowned. Why did he have to say that? Now they weren't going to let him live a day without saying 'Laura'.
"'Laura' is more valuable thenit seems, but not only valuable in money. It is said to have great power inside, a power so great that it can rule man kind. A power so great, that it can force a soul back into it's dead body. He could force a soul back into a mummy's dead body. The power will be given to the one who brings it and places it into the pyramid 'Spyres', where the great Pharaon Zary's body lies dead. You need to bring 'Laura' and two other stones into a hidden room inside of the pyramid, and place them on three diffrent stands... All three of these stones represent something; Life, Death, and Power. Laura is the most important one of all three; It's the power. I am not sure if they do have the other two, but if they do, we'll need to make sure they don't find the hidden room. They have already sent people in to find the room. If Io'Seer get's his hands on it, the world will be in great danger. Io'Seer wants slaves. He wants Worshipers. He wants complete controll. I am not sure about what he plans to do with this great power, but I ashore you, it will not be good." Explainned Ardeth, so the others would finally understand part of what was going on.
'It makes more sence now' Thought Alex, rememeberring of what he say, and heard. 'Those two other stones were needed to-' Alex's eyes grew wide as he realised he should have said something earlier on.
"Ardeth, how do you know what Io'Seer is up to?" Asked Alex, trying to gather up alot of information before saying anything.
"Well, Alex, let's just say that the City of the Dead is never up to any good." Replied Ardeth.
"Oh," began Alex before taking a 10 second pause, "How do the stones look like?"
"They look alot like Laura, but they are suppost to be diffrent colors. One blue, the other black." Answered Ardeth, getting curious of why Alex wanted to know all these answers.
"Is there white strips on the black one?" Asked Alex.
"Yes.-How do you know this, Alex?" Asked Ardeth, not taking his eyes ofhim for even a slight second.
"Promiss not to get mad... Before Mom came up to get me, I saw people talking outside. They were holding these two stones, and they said that they wanted to try and capture Dad, and that's when Mom came up to get me." Explainned Alex.
"What? First they shot me; now they want to try to capture me." shouted Rick, sighing. No one replied to Rick's comment. They jst stood there, silently.
"I'm tired." Said Alex, breaking the silence.
"We all are. Come on, we'll go inside to get a bit of rest." Said Jonathan as they all got up to go inside of the house.
A few minutes later, they were all in the house, sleeping, so they could try to end this tomarow.
