We went back to Cairo. Rick and Evy were having a bit of a fight.

Rick: The deal was for me to take you to Hamunaptra and bring you. I have done that. End of discussion, contract terminated!

Evy: We are not going anywhere!

Rick: We what we?

Evy: We woke him up and we should stop him.

Rick: There goes that we again.

Evy: Fine, I woke him up and I intend on stopping him.

Rick: So are you going or staying?

Evy: I'm staying . . . .

Rick: Fine!

Evy: Fine!

Rick stomped out of the room and slammed the door.

Evy: Oooh!

Alexa: I think you made him mad.

Evy: He's probably going down to get a drink.

Alexa: I'm gonna laugh when you two end up together.

Evy: I'm gonna laugh, because that's absolutely not going to happen!

Alexa: (chuckle) We'll see.

A few hours past as I helped Evy get our things rearranged.

Alexa: Do you know where Burns is?

Evy: I think he's down the hall.

Alexa: Ok, I think I'm going to check up on him, Maybe I'll bring him some hot tea.

Evy: Oh, what a lovely idea!

I fixed some tea and put it on a silver tray and carefully began to carry it down the hallway. I closed my eyes and levitated the tray, as I turned the doorknob with my elegant fingers. I had a deep sense of evil as I touched the doorknob, but I dared to open it. I slowly turned the knob and peeked inside.

Alexa: Rick! Evy! Somebody!

Burns' corpse was sitting on the chair all shriveled up from the loss of fluids. Across the room was the mummy, or Imhotep, walking and. . . . . regenerating. New a reforming flaps of muscle and skin wrapped around his corpse like body. He turned and looked at me.

Mummy: Anck – su – namun?

Rick and Evy burst through the door.

Rick: What the . .? He's back!

Rick began to walk towards him with his handguns. But Imhotep just shoved Rick back out the door.

Rick: We are in serious trouble.

Imhotep again looked at me . . . then began to try and kiss me. But there was the sound of a piano . . . it was my black kitten was walking along the keys. Imhotep looked at it and shrieked, then turned to dust and flew out the window.

Rick: We . . . really are in serious trouble.


We went beck to Cairo to get some answers.

Evy: There is only one person I know that can answer them.

We were back in the Museum of Antiquities and were walking through the hall when we came to a room where all the Medji, including Ardeth and the Curator.

Evy: You!

She pointed to Ardeth.

Curator: Would you really like to know? . . . . or were you just going to shoot us?

Rick slowly put down his gun.

Ardeth: You have talking to Evy awaken the creature that we have feared fro more than three thousand years . . . .

Curator: It was our job to protect the lost city, to keep it hidden so that the creature would never be awaken . . .

Ardeth: But instead you went and awoken him anyway.

Rick: One question? Why doesn't he like cats?

Curator: Cats are the guards of the underworld, he will fear them until he is fully regenerated . . . .

Ardeth: His powers are already growing . . .

I looked up through the skylight and saw the solar eclipse.

Alexa: When I saw him in Burns' room, he called me . . . . Anck – su – namun . . . .

Ardeth looked at me with concern.

Alexa: Then after that he tried to kiss me.

Curator: Looks like he still is in love with Anck – su – namun. . even after 3,000 years. And it looks like he found his sacrifice . . . . .

Everyone looked at me, except Ardeth, he was looking at the ground . . . .

Curator: On the contrary, it may give us the time we need to kill the creature.


We went back to our rooms that we were staying in. Evy and I shared the biggest room. I had a bed on one side of the room and Evy had hers on the other. Rick began to boss me around . . .

Rick: You need to stay in here . . .

Alexa: I am not going to follow orders from an idiot like you! I'm not staying in here while you all get eaten!

Jonathan: Well, thanks I feel loads better now . . . .

Rick walked towards me . . . he was about to pick me up . . . in front of Ardeth, the Americans, Evy and Jonathan. I pointed at him ferociously.

Alexa: You put one finger on me and you'll wish you were never born . . . took out Sai Daggers

American 2: Whoa! O'Connell, I think she means it.

Alexa: I . . . of course I mean it!

Ardeth: . . . . Nefertiry. . . I- I mean Alexa will you and Evelyn please just go into your room . . . it's for your own protection . . .

Alexa: But . . . but I want to protect you all . . . Imhotep will kill you to get to me . . .

Ardeth: I know you would . . . . but please just stay in the room . . .

Alexa: . . . . A-Alright . . . I'll do it. Only for you all, though.

Evy: D-Do I have to stay in there too?

Rick: Yes.

I slowly and regretfully, walked into the room. I sat on my bed, which was in front of the door. So I could see directly out the door when it is open. Evy walked in and behind her, Ardeth slowly closed the door and locked it.

Evy: Oh! This is so Stupid! . . . . . . . So . . . what made you change your mind?

Alexa: . . . . . . .

Evy: I bet it was Ardeth, huh?

Alexa: W-Why do you s-say that? (nervous laugh)

Evy: Every time you look at him . . . I don't know. It's as if I can feel your heart beating faster. You eyes glisten . . . with a sort of sparkle that I've never seen before . . ..

Alexa: You only met me like two weeks ago . . .

Evy: I don't know . . . I can just sense it. You don't make it obvious enough. You need to let him know.

Alexa: Yeah, How's that? I don't think he even knows me that well. Besides, how could he like someone like me?

Evy: His eyes follow you, everywhere you move. When the curator told you that you're the sacrifice. His face went pale. I don't think . . . I know he likes you . . . and some how I think he's knows you more that you think . .

We talked for a bit longer. But then we decide we were tired and decided we were going to take a nap. I fell asleep.

. . . . . . I heard a rustle in the bedroom but tried to ignore it. I rolled over to my side. . . . . Another rustle . . . . it sounded like . . . not foot steps, but a robe , or a dress being dragged along the floor. I flipped back over on my back and tried to go back to sleep. Suddenly I felt something pressing on my bed . . . as if some one was leaning over me. I flew open my eyes and screamed. The door suddenly flew open with Rick behind it along with Ardeth.

Rick: Get your ugly face away from her!

Imhotep roared in anger . . .

Rick: Hey! Lookie what I got! held up Osiris . . . (my Kitten)

Osiris: Hisssss! (He doesn't like Imhotep)

Imhotep roared in fright and blew away as sand. Ardeth ran to my side as Evy ran to Rick's . .

Ardeth: Alexa, are you alright?

Alexa: I'm fine . . . . thanks blush

If we don't figure out a way to kill Imhotep, then he may kill me as his sacrifice to bring back Anck-su-namun. If the Book of the Dead gives life . . . . then the Book of Amun-ra . . . . must take life away!

Alexa: Evy, do you know where the Book of Amun-ra lies?

Evy: I might have an idea if we look at the Rosetta Stone in the Museum . . . .

Alexa: Well, we're going to have to find it . . . . and fast.

Jonathan: Why? What's the big rush?

Alexa: Because, if we don't. Once Imhotep gets done tracking down all of the men who took Anck-su-namun's Canopic Jars. Then . . . . . well . . . then he'll be after me next.

Jonathan: Why?

Alexa: Because . . . h-he wants me . . . . so he can resurrect Anck-su-namun.

No one said anything. They were all worried about me, which I could tell. Even Rick looked worried. Ardeth just looked at the ground again, not saying a word, not looking me in the eye . . . . just nothing. It's as if he were trying to hide something from me. As if in his very eyes bore a secret that none could see, but for some reason he was afraid that I could. I know he's killed many men before, but that was only because he had to. What secret could be so deep and so terrible, that no one could know?

Evy: Come on . . . we should hurry. We should make haste with what little time we have.
