Chapter 6.

Sitting on the bow of the ship that left from London to Giza port three days ago, Samantha was thinking about the past events that whent on...

------------------Flashback-------------------

After finally calming Sam down and telling her everyone was alright, she, the O'Connells, Jonathan and Ardeth made their way downstairs to the living room, where they sat in front of a huge roaring fire and began disscussing why Ardeth was here.

"It seems what I said back at the camp was true. You can see future visions instead of past visions, you can see into the future when you're asleep" Ardeth explained to his step-sister, who was sitting on the sofa in-between her father and her cousion. Evy and Rick sat on the same chair, Evy in Rick's lap and Ardeth standing by the fire.

"So, what your telling me is, I've got some sort of power? Thats why I've been seeing the future?" "Yes, that seems like the most sensible reason".

"Wait, am I the only one who dosen't get what the hell they're talking about?" Rick exclaimed, confused. Everyone else's confused looking faces confirmed they're agreement with him. "You were about to tell us something in your room before we were rudely interrupted, Sam"

Samantha nodded her head and started telling her big family about the three visions she's had, the first one about the meeting between Imhotep and Anubis, the second vision of herself being sacrificed in front of her family by the mummy for Anubis and finally, her new vision which she took awhile explaining because of what had happen to Jonathan in it. When she had finished, she looked around at her family's facial expresssions. Ardeth's face showed sadness, Rick and Alex's face showed anger and Evy's face both anger and sadness. But when she turned to her father, his face showed fear and sadness. Samantha leant over and hugged him firecely which he returned just as hard.

"I promise you dad, I will not let anything happen to you, I promise. Even if it means giving up my own life" Jon pulled her away and looked her in the eyes with a small smile on his face, saying "You don't have to give your life for me, I know I'll be alright. You won't be the only one protecting me" With that, he looked over at Rick, Evy, Alex and Ardeth.

Suddenly the Med-jai chief shouted out "That's it" "What's it?" Alex asked out of curiousity, the first thing he's said since they came downstairs. "Samantha, have you been experiencing any other powers at all, like moving things without realising it out of anger, sadness or fear?" With that, Sam closed her eyes and concentrated on her memories until she saw what Ardeth meant. "Yes I have, why?"

"There is a legend that says that the Keeper of the Diamond of Ahm Shere is the person who hands have last been on it. In this case, Jonathan is the new keeper of the Diamond" Jon looked at him, both shocked by the news, but also pleased he's got a new destiney. "The first and only one to have touched it was the God Anubis himself. It is also written that if the Keeper has any children, they become Protector(s) of the Keeper and keep him or her from harm. They are given powers of the ability of moving things with their minds and future visions to keep an eye on any dangers that might hurt or kill their parent(s). That is why you can do those things Sam. That is why Anubis wanted Jonathan dead instead of you".

"But why does my dad have to die? Why not me or anyone else?" "Because only Anubis will want the new Keeper of the Diamond's soul inside the Diamond to regain his powers. There is a spell that will turn the diamond into a vessel that will hold the soul in it and makes it become a powerful weapon that Anubis will use to destory the world with".

"Well, not on my watch he won't" Everyone was shocked when Jonathan said this. Getting up off the sofa, he turned to Ardeth and asked him "Do you want to see the Diamond?" When Ardeth nodded, Jon went upstairs towards the bedroom Samantha was sleeping in. He than walked towards the large wardorbe in the corne of the room, opened it up and reached inside towards the bottom until he felt something hard. Brushing off some old shirts, he picked up the object that started all this trouble. He held it up to the light, blinded by the light reflecting off the shining surface. 'I knew I should of sold this when I had the chance' he thought before turning to go down the stairs again.

Jon showed the Diamond to Ardeth, who wouldn't take it of him. "It has chosen you to become its new Keeper only. no-one else can touch it except you and Samantha, since she's your daughter and personal Protector. If anyone else touches it, it will not be pleasent". Jonathan passed it to Sam, who took it off him no problem, but when Alex touched it, he got a electric shock. "Owch, he's right, it isn't pleasent" So, he went back over to his mom, who gave him a hug.

"Listen, there is a way to prevent this from happing and that's by finding the spell that can netrualise the power to absorb souls". "Yes, alright an easy way to defeat the baddies" Alex shouted excititly. "No, it is not that easy. The spell is on a scroll that currently resigns in..."

"...The temple of Anubis, where we should not go for danger to this family" Samantha got up of the sofa to stand next to her step-brother. "What must I do to stop this?"

"What do you mean "just you"? I'm coming along to make sure nothing happens to my little girl" Jonathan made his way over to his daughter and hugged her close to him "I don't care what happens to me, just as long as you're safe. Besides, you're going to protect me, aren't you?" He smiled with a look of bravery on his face, but inside he was absolutly terrified, but he wasn't gonna show them that.

"If Uncle John's going then so am I to help Sam protect him. I might not have the powers Sam has, but I'm just as useful with the self-defence moves she's taught me" Alex ran upto his cousion before hugging her. "In that case, it looks like me and Evy are coming to protect all of you" Rick stated before he and Evy got up and stood beside the rest of their family.

"Well, this is good. The more people we have, the better chance we have of finding that spell before any ritual came comence. We must leave immediatly then, before the creature comes here to begin his search for Jonathan and the Diamond". Everyone agreed to this and made their way upto their rooms to pack. Ardeth decided to stay and sleep downstairs on the sofa, but Evy wouldn't hear of it and showed him to a room on the East side of the manor.

After she finished packing, Samantha couldn't help but think that she was leading her family into the utmost of danger. Before falling into a reatless sleep, she check to make sure her faithful dagger was still on the bedside table. The dagger was made from the best of silver with a ivory handle with a image of Bast, the cat-headed Goddess and her favourite Goddess. 'This dagger is the one Anuty Evy gave me when I was eight, this will be the one I use to take down Imhotep with if he comes anywhere near my family, espeically my dad'.

-----------------Flashback ends-------------------

Now, she still had that idea of revenge if needed and the sense of dread and fear of the danger that is to come. Deep in her thoughts, Sam didn't notice that her step-brother stood next to her until he spoke "What are you thinking about, dear sister of mine?"

Samantha looked at him after jumping a bit "Bloody hell, you scared me". She seemed to have picked that up from her father from hanging around with him for so long "I'm just thinking is there anyway to chance the future. You know, anyway to help my dad and you guys from the mummy soliders?" She spoke this while looking at the rest of the family over the other side of the ship. Evy and Rick were sitting in deckchairs while watching Jonathan and Alex playing a game of snap (Jonathan wasn't allowed to play Poker or any gambling card games with Alex, like he did with Samantha). Sam couldn't help but smile at the scene.

"Did your father hide the Diamond safely?" "Yes, he hid it in his room in a big air vent. Well, it's only a day away before we finally get rid of this problem once and for all". Ardeth looked at her, surprized and happy by her determination. "Are you scared at all, Sam?"

"No, not really. I am not scared for my live, but for yours and for the rest of my family. But I'll tell you this, if Imhotep even dares to hurt one of them, he is mine. And that's a promise". Her eyes were full of promise and determination.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, how about that, Jonathan's got a new destiney. Will Samantha and the others be able to protect him, or will Anubis get his powers back? Will Sam's new powers help save her family? Will Jonathan ever realise that he hasn't had a drink for over a week? The answers to these questions will only be revaled if you review this chapter. (Please.
