The Pendent of Ra.

Summary- Three weeks after the events of Lost and Found, Samantha Carnahan finds a pendent that could not only bring trouble into the world, but also bring trouble into her family. Also, she learns about how her parents met and what exactly went on that night when Jonathan 'lefted'.

Disclaimer- I do not own The Mummy or The Mummy Returns. I do not own any of the characters (Shame!). I do own Samantha, the cat and the pendent idea though. I now also own Rashidi, Aziza, Hondo and Femi. I hope you like this one. If any bits of the story sounds like anybody elses, tell me, don't sue me.

Reviews-

Lady Galriee- Thanks for your review. I'm not surprized that Evy would find it in her books, either. LOL.

Lucky Fannah- Declined nicely of becoming my co-author, but still my proof-reader and puts in some of her own ideas. Which is great.

Legends and Kidnappings.

"The Pendent of Ra? You're joking, right?" Samantha asked nervously. Everyone noticed her face turned pale at those words.

"Well yes. How do you know about it?" Evy asked suspiciously "Ardeth told me about many Eygptian legends and that pendent was one of them. The pendent is a powerful destrcutive weapon if in the wrong hands. It can destory human lives and mabye the world" Now, it was everyone else's turn to have the look of shock on their faces. Rick immediatly ran to his wife, taking the pendent from her hands and started towards the front door.

"There is no way anything that can mean certain danger to this family is staying in this house AGAIN!" Samantha followed him to the door, wanting that pendent back. It may be dangerous and it may seem strange, but it was like the pendent belonged to her and her father, just them only. Rick opened the door and gave a surprised yelp. A man dressed in black robes stood at the door, his handsome face covered in Arabic tattoos and a sword at his side.

"Hello Ardeth, my dear brother. It was about time for you to pay us a visit" Samantha used Rick's surprise as an opportunity to take the pendent back off him "I think this belongs to me, Uncle Rick". Ardeth just shook his head and chuckled "You do not know how right you are, sister of mine" leaving Sam and Rick with puzzled looks on their faces.

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

Once inside and Ardeth got settled down next to Sam on the couch, Evy started speaking of the Legend of the Pendent of Ra.

"According to this book, the Legend starts when Ra made everything: the river nile, mankind. But, when he grew older, people started to no longer fear or obey him. So he decided to punish mankind by sending down his daughter Sekhmet, the lioness-headed goddess of desturction. But before she went down to Earth, Ra gave her A pendent that will give her the destructive powers she needed to punish those who disobeyed her father. She killed many people and drank their blood, so soon Ra felt sorry for the people and decided to stop Sekhmet. But, it was hard because the pendent had made her so powerful that only one thing can stop her: beer. He mixed red ochre with gallons of beer and spread it across the place she would strike next. She thought it was blood and drank loads of it, until she became powerless. She went back home to her father, who turned her into Hathor, the cow-headed goddess of dancing and love. When she became Hathor, Ra decided on hiding the pendent so no-body come use it to harm other people. So, he passed it on to his most trusted priest, Rashidi which means 'Wise' for he was very wise and hid it carefully with his wife, Femi which means 'Love' and his daughter, Aziza which means 'Precious' who were actually priestesses of Sekhmet for many years. One day many years later, Ra decided to tell Rashidi the secret of the pendent. Ra told him that now only he, his wife and his daughter could use the power of the pendent as they have served him and his daughter for many years. Only they can feel the power flowing though the sacred object. But, Femi's brother, Hondo which means 'War', overheard them and wanted revenge on Rashidi for becoming Ra's favourite priest and stealing away his sister. So, he kidnapped Aziza and forced Femi to use the pendent's power to destory her husband or else her daughter would die. Femi had no choice but to to do what he bidded and killed Rashidi in front of Aziza's eyes, but she also destoryed her brother for making her do that. Her daughter disowned her and Ra stripped her of her title of priestess of Sekhmet and cast her out into the desert, so she can wander of into the distance, never to be heard of again. Aziza became the Keeper and Protecter of the pendent until she too died, but before she died, she passed on the pendent to Seti and told him to put it in the safest place to keep treasure: Hamunaptra"

The room was silent as everyone let this new infomation sink into their minds except Samantha and Ardeth, who already knew this. Sam held the pendent tightly in her hands when Evy had finish, as though afraid that an renicarnated Hondo was going to come and take it away from her. "So, whet you're saying is that maybe those two siblings who attacked me and Alex might be one of Ra's chosen renicarnated and they want the pendent's power to themselves?" Samantha asked, curiously.

Ardeth spoke up, "They might be. We will only know if they are renicarnated because they can feel the power flowing in the pendent" This shocked his step-sister a bit because she had been feeling the power radiating from the pendent, so it got her wondering if she was Femi or Aziza? Was Jonathan maybe Rashidi renicarnated? There was only one way to find out.

"Ahem, if it interests anyone, I myself have been feeling the power for quite some time. And I've been having visions of a girl and her family in the temple of Ra. Does that count for anything?" Ardeth looked at her shocked "It might. Why?" Instead of answering him, she just pushed the pendent into her father's hands. "I say Sam, what are you doing?" "Just shut up, close your eyes and tell us if you feel any power flowing in it" She commanded him. Jon closed his eyes and held the pendent tightly "I can't feel anything ye-" He was cut off when he gave a surprized cry of shock, his eyes screwed up even more and his hands were doing white from holding the pendent too hard. No-body knew what to do, so Samantha yanked the pendent out off his hands and his eyes shot open, breathing heavily.

"What did you see and feel, dad?" "I felt the power surging though the pendent, lik it has been for over three thousand years. I saw me dressed in red and gold robes, talking to my wife and my daughter who are dressed in red and gold dresses, with gold headbands aroung their foreheads with smaller versions of the pendent hanging from them. We are dissucing about the power of the pendent. My daughter looked excectly like Sam. Did Rashidi look like me in your visions?"

"Yes. And the strange thing was my mother in the vision looked just like... the woman with the brother that attacked us. Maybe it means you two were meant to be? If so, I still don't mind. It's just her brother we'll have to be careful of, so if we go out we'll have to watch ours backs carefully. Epscially you, dad. We don't know what they're planning yet, but it won't be good" Samantha told everyone, who looked at each other in silent agreement.

Meanwhile...

Inside a strange house at the other end of London, two siblings were talking to a band of three of the biggest men you would ever see.

"Now you know what to do? Capture the man called Jonathan Carnahan only if he is with his daughter, Samantha. You'll recognise him by his sapphire blue eyes, has curly, sandy-brown hair and in his late forty's. He won't prove much trouble, he has a bad shoulder from what my sources tell me. It's the girl you got to be careful of, always carries a dagger. Take her out first, then bring Carnahan to us. Make sure to give her the ransom note when you take him" The brother said, addressing the three blokes in front of him. They nodded and made their way though the front door into the night.

"Now, I'll teach that Carnahan about showing me up in front of my mates and for making you disobey me, Sarah. I'll just have to get his daughter to give us that pendent or else something will have to happen to him".

"I don't want anything to do with this, Steve. I love Jonathan Carnahan and I know he will still love me after all this time. I have been having those vsions you know since we found out about that damn pendent. Me, married to him in the past life with Samantha has our daughter. It's A sign that we are destined to be" Sarah told her brother, anger and love in her eyes.

Steve turned to face her, sucked in a breath of air and slapped Sarah across the face, causing her to fall down "I told you once and I'll tell you again, nothing and no-one will stop me from this revenge. Not even you. And you will be apart of this, unless you want more beatings for the rest of your life"

The love and anger disappeared from her eyes and was replaced by fear. Slowly, she nodded in agreement to helping him. When he turned around and left the room, Sarah brought her knees up to her chest and started sobbing 'I'm sorry, Jonathan. I'm sorry, Samantha. I can't stop him. Please, just keep safe'.

It has been a few days since the attack on Sam and Alex and everyone was nervous about going out. Evy made sure that either she or Rick would take Alex to and from school and Sam asked Ardeth to keep an eye on Jonathan whenever he went out for a drink. Today, Jon decided to go out again, which made Sam panic a bit. Ardeth had to go back to the med-jai tribe yesterday, so no-one could watch over her father. Instead, she went with him.

The streets were cold from the night air. No noise was about apart from the few cars that drove past and the usual dog barking. Father and daughter walked quickly along the street, unknown to them taht three men were watching them from A car the other side of the road.

"Are you sure that's them?" Asked one of them "Of course, the man fits the description perfectly. And it looks like his daughter's with him. Now is the time for the capture" They got out of the car and started towards the obilvious Carnahans. Sam heard footsteps behind her and told Jon to stop as she saw three huge blokes coming towards them. They came close and then, quicker then lightening, one had Jonathan with his one good arm behind his back and another had Samantha with both her arms behind her back.

The leader came up to her face and just said one thing "My boss asks for the pendent and until you bring it to him, I'm afraid your dad is coming with us. He wants the pendent by midnight tommorrow at the Tower of London or else your father might not live. And just to make sure you remember this meeting-" He punched Sam in the stomach, then punched her in the ribs and finally punched her in the face, causing her lip to split. The man holding her dropped her on the floor, where she doubled over in pain. She looked up in the leader's face and saw him grinning eviliy. He then ordered the man holding Jonathan to drag him to the car. "Samantha, no. Get up, come on get up please" But it was too late, he was taken too far away for Sam to hear him.

The leader picked up Samantha and threw her into some dustbins in the alley they were standing in front of "Remember, midnight at the Tower of London. Don't be late and be alone" He then walked off and left Sam in a world of pain. The sound of sreeching wheels driving off can be heard and then silence 'Dad, I'm sorry. I failed you, but I will get you back, no matter what'. She then picked herself up slowly and painfully made her way back to the manor, not knowing how to explain this to Evy, Rick and Alex.
