Chapter Two.
When Samantha slowly opened her eyes, all she could see was a bright light, so she quickly closed her eyes to block it out. After a couple of minutes, she opened them again to find she was lying down on a cot in a big tent. Sitting up slowly, Samantha felt a great pain in the back of her head and gave out a low moan.
"You have taken a bad hit in your head when you fell over and hit the rock". Samantha looked over to the source of the voice and found that it belonged to a 32 year old man, wearing black robes that covered his entire body, a sword at his side. His face was covered with tattoos of Arabic words, his eyes were a stricking brown and his hair raven black.
"Excuse me, but who are you and where am I?" Shouted Samantha, shocked to see him staring at her with a smile. She looked down to see that she had been put in a skimpy nightie to sleep in. Instinct told her to pull up the blanket that covered her during the night over her chest, so she did.
"My name is Ardeth Bay and you are in my tent. What is your name and why was you out in the desert that late at night?"
"My name is Samantha Carnahan, or Sam to my friends and I was going for a walk to clear my head of my problems. Wait, did you say your last name was Bay?" At this question, Ardeth nodded. "My mothers' last name was Bay, before the accident."
"What do you mean, it was her last name? What happened to her?" Ardeth got up shocked at this bit of news.
"She was shot two years ago by bandits while protecting me from them. They are still toasting her for her brave deed after all those years. She was a great woman, so brave. Why wasn't you around those few days to help protect us? You usually are around". Samantha said, with tears in her eyes.
"I...had to help some other people in need. But if she's your mother and my mother, that must mean..."
"..That we are step- siblings, yes. But, who was you helping more than us?" Samantha asked with curiosity.
"An adventurer called O'Connell and a pair of siblings called Carnahan".
"Carnahan? Do you mean Evy and Jonathan Carnahan?"
"Yes, how do you know them?" Ardeth asked, shocked at this news.
"Jonathan's my father and Evy's my aunt. I haven't seen them for seven years. I hope they're alright".
"They are fine". "Do you know where they live?" "No, if I did, I would take you to them".
Seeing the relief in her eyes, Ardeth moved over to sit next to her and held her hand, wiping away the tears from her eyes. "You will stay with me until it is time for you to find your dad. I will help you learn to defend yourself in the meantime while you stay with us. When I have learnt where your father lives, I will help you get to him".
Samantha let this promise sink in, then threw her arms around his neck while softly whispering in his ear, "Thank you. I will learn well of your teachings of battle and defending, as long as you will tell me when it is time for us to find my father".
"Then it is a deal". Ardeth said, tears of joy for he will be getting to know his step-sister better while teaching her and showing her the ways of the Med-jai.

10 years later...
Samantha woke up in a temple, lying down chained to a stone table. As she looked around, she saw high pillars holding up a high ceiling with torches hanging off them, lighting the temple up. She also notised that the table was on a high mound of earth with steps leading from the top to the bottom. Just a bit from the bottom of the steps, she saw five people been held by mummies, only she instantly knew five of those people. The first person was a male, with sandy-blond hair and brown eyes. He wore a gun belt around his waist and a bullet holder around his shoulder, he was been held by two mummies who had his arms around his back. Samantha did not know this man's name, but she knew she would meet him soon. Next to him was a woman with almond shaped, blue eyes and dark brown hair. She had tears coming down her face as she looked on at Samantha. Sam knew her at once, the woman was her aunty Evy and she was being held by just one mummy. In between the man and Evy was a young boy of about 14, he has sandy-blond hair and almond-shaped blue eyes. He was yelling at someone to stop whatever they were doing, he was being held by just one mummy as well. Just a bit away from Evy, was a man dressed in a black robe with Arabic words tattooed on his face, Ardeth. He was fighting hard with the two mummies that were holding him, rage getting the best of him. He was shouting Arabic words that Samantha knew were not to be used in polite conversation. The last person was someone that bought a shock to her system, a man who has aged a bit since she last saw him. He had sapphire blue eyes and snady-brown hair. He was the one who was fighting the mummies holding him the most out of pure rage and sadness, tears pouring down his face as he struggled against his captors, shouting at someone to let her go. He was Jonathan Carnahan, her father. She heard a noise of something being put down next to her. She turned her head to see the diamond of Ahm Shere next to her, the light of the torches reflecting off the surface of the diamond. Looking up a bit more she saw a man with bronzed skin, wearing nothing but a loincloth and a thin robe. He was holding a ancient scroll in one hand and a sharp dagger in the other, smiling evilly. He laid down the scroll, unravelled it and started reading from it in an ancient language that Samantha couldn't understand. While the spell was in effect, the diamond was shining brightly, almost blinding her. When the man had finished the spell, he raised the dagger high over Samantha's body, shouting 'For Anubis and my powers back'. Samantha and her family screamed out loud...
...And Samantha shot up, sitting up in her cot, screaming. When she stopped screaming, she just sat there staring forwards in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. 'The dream seemed so real', she thought, 'it was like that dream I had the day after my mom died 8 years ago. They must be connected somehow. I must tell Ardeth'. Getting up of the cot, Sam went outside of her tent to find Ardeth. Outside, many tents were around her's, some med-jai were keeping watch-out for attackers or strangers, but Ardeth was no-where in sight. She went over to Armed, a guard nearest to her and asked briefly where Ardeth had gone.
"He has gone of to help some family called the O'Connell's get their son back". He explained.
"Why, what happened to him?" Sam asked. "He got kidnapped by the creature".
"Who, or what is this creature?" "He is not of this world, he is the undead bought back to fight the scorpion king".
Samantha looked up at him thoughtfully. Then the penny dropped. "Hey, did you say O'Connell? He was the one who helped my father,brother and aunt who were in need of help".
Armed looked at her suprised at this infomation. "Yes, he help stopped the creature then, who was released for the first time. 12 years ago to the day. He is now married to Evelyn Carnahan and has had a kid called Alex".
"That's good then. Glad to hear Aunty Evy got the big family she wanted. To this day, but this is two days after my mother died. 12 years since that first dream I had." 'I wonder if the dreams have something in common with it?' Sam thought to herself. "Does the creature have a bald head, bronze skin and a lust for power?"
"Yes, why? Have you seen him? When? How?" The guard asked shocked at this news.
"To answer your questions: 1. Yes, I have seen him, 2. The first time was 12 years ago like I said just and 3. In my dreams. Well, more like visions of the future, what's going to happen soon".
"I think you shold tell Ardeth about these dreams. He might be able to work out what they mean. He should be back in a few days".
Samantha nodded to show she understood. She wished she knew herself what her dreams meant, but she was sure her step-brother will tell her exactly what they mean. Or so she thought...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What is the problem, my sister?" Ardeth asked while sitting down on his cot and motioned her to sit next to him. He returned from helping the O'Connell's and Jonathan defeat Imhotep and the Scorpion King a few days ago.
"I want you to help me find out the meaning of these dreams I've been having. But they seem more like visions". Samantha stated, a bit scared of what he would say what they mean.
"Go on then. Tell me from the first dream and don't stop". Samantha closed her eyes and heavily sighed before starting.
"Alright, in my first dream, that came about 12 years ago, I am in the temple of Anubis hiding behind a rock. In front of me is an alter with a giant statue of Anubis behind it. Then all of a sudden, the rock melt to reveal the great god Anubis himself. He calls forth the only servent he knows that is both strong and will obey his every command. Imhotep. He was standing there fully regenerated in front of Anubis, swearing his alligence to the god. Anubis told him that on the year of the Jackel, he will be needing Imhotep to find the diamond of Ahm Shere that was stolen three days ago, bring it, the O'Connell family and the Carnahan family to this temple and perform the ritual that will give him unlimited powers. In return, he will give Imhotep powers and an immortal soul that can never be removed, no matter how powerful the spell is to remove them before. He agrees to this and is given only two of his powers, the power to turn into sand and the power to call forth mummy soliders to help him capture the two families and the diamond".
"I see. What was in the second dream?" Ardeth asked, a little nervous of what he was hearing.
"Well, in the second dream, that happened about three days before you came back, I was chained to the alter table in the temple, my family, including you, down the bottom of these steps by the alter. They are being held by solider mummies, they are trying to be released but can't. You and my father, Jonathan are fighting the hardest to try to get to me to release me. I hear a noise and see that the diamond is placed next to me. I look up and there is Imhotep, with a dagger raised above me and before he strikes he shouts "For Anubis and my powers back". I screamed along with you and my family when the dagger goes down and then i woke up".
"I see. To tell you the truth, I can only guess that you might be seeing visions into the future, which is not good. But, it is only a guess so do not be alarmed". Ardeth explained, with a hint of alarm in his voice. "But, on the positive side, I have found out where you father leaves, like I promised. But, before I take you there, we must first finish your training which will take another 4 years. Deal?"
"Deal". Samantha hugged her brother to seal the deal and then walked back to her own tent, excited about seeing her family again.

4 years later...
Samantha had grown up into a beautiful young woman of about 22. Her dark brown hair had grown longer though the years, her sapphire blue eyes shining brightly in the sunlight as she stood ready to battle Ardeth, sword in her hands as she stood in a battle stance. Her Medjai robes blowing in the gently desert wind with her hair. Her knowledge of ighting and defending skills that she has been learning over the years with the Medjai will prove useful in this battle. Her final training battle before she can finally go and see her dad. 'I hope he remembers me' She thought while holding her gaze into her step-brother's eyes.
She suddenly gave a battle cry and charged towards Ardeth, her sword held high. But he moved out of the way just as the sword was going to strike. He whacked her with the hilt end of his sword in the back, so she landed with her face in the sand. Spitting out the sand from her mouth, Sam turned over and kicked out her legs to trip Ardeth over and it worked, so it was his turn to land with his face in the sand. He wasn't moving, so because of her curiosity, Sam crept closer to see if he was alright. She put her hand on his shoulder and he just scared her by shouting her name. She fell backwards in fright and fainted. Now Ardeth was worried about her not getting back up, so he got closer. Bad idea. Sam opened one eye and swung her leg up inbetween the Medjai warrior's legs, his eyes watering and a soft moan came from his lips. He went down and Samantha got up and put her foot on his chest and the sword near his throat asking if he gave up.
"Yes, I give up. You are now ready to go out on your own. After I take you to your father". He replied, with a squeeky vioce and a smile on his face. Samantha helped him to his feet, said sorry quickly for kicking him where it would hurt the most in males and they set of together towards the camp.
Samantha was feeling please with herself. Not only was she a great fighter, she was also great at anichant languages like Arabic, Egyptian, even a bit of Latian. She could also dechpier hieroglyphs with the greatest of ease. In the camp, she went to her tent to pack. Ardeth did promise if Sam could beat him one last tome, he would immediatly take her to England, to London, to home. When she finished packing, Samantha went outside to find her brother there ready with two camels to take them to Giza port which will take them to London in about 4 days. She knew it would be a long wait until she would she her family again, but she know it will be worth it.
