Before On Miscalculation…
"Look what I got," Ric said
He then holds up Evelyn's cat. Imhotep yells as does the cat. Imhotep then leaves once again in a sand tornado. Once he is gone we all look at each other.
"Are you two alright?" Ric asked
"Well, I'm not sure," Jonathan said
We all just look at him.
We left the fort and headed back to the museum Evelyn wanted to look for the other book. We arrived at the museum and headed inside. We were currently walking upstairs behind the curator and Ardith.
"Well, according to legend, the black book the Americans found at Hamunaptra. Is supposed to bring people back from the dead. Until now, it was a notion I was unwilling to believe." Evelyn said
"Believe it, sister. That's what brought our buddy back to life?" Ric said
"Yes. I'm thinking that if the black book can bring dead people to life…" Evelyn said
"Then maybe the gold book can kill him," Ric said
"That's the myth. Now, we just have to find out where the gold book is hidden." Evelyn said
As we reach the top of the stairs we stop at a window when we hear people.
"Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep." they cant.
"Last but not least, my favorite plague, boils, and sores," Jonathan said
"They have become his slaves. So it has begun, the beginning of the end." Ardith said
"Not quite yet, it hasn't. Come on." Evelyn said
"Why are you such a downer," I said
He kind of just looked at me.
"Hey, I somehow survived in the desert for two days and then ended up under Hamunaptra so don't be so depressing," I said
Ardith kind of just looked at me. We were now all crowed around a big black rock. Evelyn and the curator are looking at it, it was the rock I was looking at when I first meet Evelyn.
"According to Bembridge scholars, the Golden Book of Amun-Ra is located inside the statue of Anubis," Evelyn said
"That's where we found the black book," Daniels said
"Exactly," Evelyn said
"Looks like the old boys at Bembridge were mistaken," Jonathan said
"They mixed the books up. Mixed up where they were buried. So, if the black book is inside the statue of Anubis, then the Golden book must be inside…" Evelyn trailed off
We heard the door from downstairs bang open, the arm of people had made it inside.
"Come on, Evy, faster," Jonathan said
"Patience is a virtue," Evelyn said
Ric looked over the edge.
"Not right now, it isn't," Ric said
I haven't known Jonathan for long but I do know one thing about him he is a chicken.
"I think I'll go and get the car started," Jonathan said
He then ran down the hall.
"I've got it. The Golden Book of Amun-Ra is at Hamunaptra inside the statue of Horus. Take that, Bembridge scholars." Evelyn said
We quickly run down the hall and outside. Just in time to see Jonathan jump into the car.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go. Get this thing in gear, boy. Let's get out of here." Daniels said
As we run to the car we see Beni run out the doors.
"Evy. Come on, Evy. Hurry up." Jonathan said
"Imhotep," Beni yells
As we load into the car, we look up to see Imhotep. Hold out his arms and scream he kind of looked like a huge bat. The army of people coming running out the doors. We start to drive away, Ric stands up and points at Beni and yells.
"You're gonna get yours, Beni! You hear me? You're gonna get yours." Ric yells
"Oh, like I've never heard that before," Beni yells
As we drive away the army follows after us. We don't get far because Jonathan has to slam on the breaks because there are some in front of us. We kind of just sit there for a few seconds. Before Ric slams his foot on the gas sending us speeding forward. The army comes running towards us.
"Hang on," Ric yelled
Evelyn covers my eyes so I don't see the car hit them, but I do hear the noise they make when they hit the car. I hear Ric punching some of them, I also feel one grab my arm. I scream and Daniels shoots the guy sending him flying back. Ardith punches others, as does Ric, Jonathan tries to drive and not crash into things. Two of them grab onto Daniels and try to pull him out of the car.
"Hey! O'Connell! O'Connell!" Daniels said
Ric turns just as Jonathan does sending Daniels flying out of the car. We continue driving for a few more minutes before Jonathan crashes into something that holds water. We all climb out of the car.
"Jump Down," Ric said
He helps Evelyn and I out of the car. He bends down and picks up a torch. Evelyn grabs my hand as Ric grabs hers.
"Move, move, move." Ric yells
We run backwards but we get closed in. The army is on either side and in front and a wall behind us. The crowd continues to say his name.
"Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep. Imhotep." they said
They suddenly stop.
"It's the creature." the curator said
The crowd parts, Beni and Imhotep walk towards us.
"He's fully regenerated." the curator said
Imhotep starts to talk in Ancient Egyptian. Beni is nice enough to translate for us.
"Come with me, my Princess. It is time to make you mine forever." Beni said
"For all eternity, idiot," Evelyn said
"I don't think right now is the right time for a lesson," I said
But Imhotep keeps going, then holds out his hand.
"Take my hand, and I will spare your friends. The child will come as well." Beni said
"Oh, dear. Have you got any bright ideas?" Evelyn asked
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking," Ric said
Evelyn's hand tightens around mine.
"You better think of something fast, because if he turns me into a mummy, you're the first one I'm coming after. And who knows what he has planned for Amara." Evelyn said
She lets go of my hand and steps forward I go to follow, but Ric stops me. He pulls out a gun and points it at Imhotep.
"No," Ric said
"Don't," Evelyn said
"No!" Ardith said
Imhotep takes a step towards us and holds his hand out for me.
"She is not going anywhere with you," Ric said
"He has to take us to Hamunaptra to perform the ritual," Evelyn said
Ric looked down at me, and I looked up at him and smiled. I took a hold of Imhotep's hand and he pulled me to his side.
"She is right. Live today, fight tomorrow." Ardith said
Ric still has his gun held up, but he lowers it reluctantly.
"I'll be seeing you again," Ric said
As he said that he titled his torch towards Imhotep. Imhotep just smirked, turned and walked away. As we walk away we hear Ric.
"Evelyn! Amara!" Ric said
I turn to see Beni talking the key box thing from Jonathan.
"Hey, that's mine," Jonathan said
"Thank you," Beni said
Imhotep says something in Egyptian that makes Evelyn start to freak out.
"No! Let go of me!" Evelyn said
The crowd starts to chant his name again.
"Let go of me." Evelyn yells
"What did he say?" I asked
"Kill them all," Evelyn said
Time Skip and Scene Change…
Imhotep uses his ability to get us to the desert, in one of his weird sand tornado's. Evelyn and Beni were both thrown from the tornado.
"Get off me. Get off." Evelyn yells to Beni
Beni had landed on Evelyn when they were thrown from the tornado.
"I need a new job," Beni said
I wasn't thrown from the tornado instead I landed nice and soft, and soon the tornado was gone.
"Oh, my God. We're back." Evelyn said
We all hear a noise, we look up to see a plane. The plane has someone driving, someone behind the driver, and a person on each wing.
"O'Connell," Evelyn said
I see Imhotep get mad, he yells and the desert rises up and goes after the plane. Evelyn tries to stop him by kissing him. It does distract him, but the plane still crashes. We see it take down the plane.
"I love the whole sand-wall trick. It was beautiful. Bastard." Beni said
We head towards the city, then down into the tunnels. We head down deeper into tunnels then we had before. For some reason Imhotep kept me by his side, he wouldn't let me be with Evelyn.
"Keep moving," Beni said
"You know nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance," Evelyn said
Beni scoffs.
"Really? They do?" Beni asked
"Oh, yes. Always." Evelyn said
We continued walking, into a weird chamber. Once we enter the chamber Beni grabs onto my arm. Imhotep starts to set things up when we hear a gunshot. He suddenly stops and we all look to where we heard the shot come from.
"O'Connell," Evelyn said
Imhotep dumps something into his hand then blows it onto a wall. Once it lands he says something in Ancient Egyptian. A few seconds pass before two mummies come from the wall.
"Bembridge scholars never wrote about this," Evelyn said
We started backing up, and Beni's grip on the both of us tightened.
"Get off me. Get off." Evelyn said
Imhotep says something in Ancient Egyptian. They hobble away.
"Ow, you are hurting me," I said
Imhotep has me out of Beni's grasp in an instance.
"Let her go," Evelyn said
Imhotep waves his hand and Evelyn passed out. Beni puts her up onto something, then he tells something to Beni who leaves the room. Imhotep starts setting things up.
"Why?" I asked
Imhotep just looked at me, I felt a push in my head.
"Why what?" Imhotep asked
"She is the reason you died. You were cursed because you tried to bring her back. Why not just leave her dead, and find someone else?" I asked
"I don't want anyone else," Imhotep said
Imhotep went back to setting up the sacrifice.
"Why Evelyn she hasn't done anything. She is the first person in my entire life to caring about me. Why does it have to be her?" I asked
"Because she looks like someone from when I was human," Imhotep said
When he was human. Is he not human now?
He is immortal, maybe that categorizes him as not human. -Tom said
"Who's the voice in your head?" Imhotep asked
"His name is Tom. I don't know where he came from but has been there for as long as I can remember." I said
Imhotep goes back to getting ready. I'm sitting on a different altar one that won't be used in the sacrifice. Eve starts to wake up and the first thing she sees is a rat on her stomach she freaks and rolls to the side, to see the body of Anck-Su-Namun, then she screams. A group of mummies circles around us. Two of them stand on either side of me. The rest kneel down around the altar. Imhotep walks up to the altar. I see him brush his hand over her face.
"Anck-Su-Namun," Imhotep said
He then opens the book, and Evelyn starts yelling.
"O'Connell! Jonathan!" Evelyn yells
Imhotep starts chanting, there is a noise. I look to see a weird smoke thing come up out of a black liquid thing. It enters the dead body of Anuk-Su-Amun, who gasps for air as she wakes. She turns to look at Evelyn who screams. I see Imhotep raise a gold knife above Evelyn.
"With your death, Anck-Su-Namun shall live. And I shall be invincible." Imhotep said
Evelyn screams and Jonathan comes running into the room.
"The Book of Amun-Ra! I found it, Evy! I found it!" Jonathan said
He stops talking when he sees the situation we are in.
"The Book of Amun-Ra," Imhotep said
He lowers his knife as Evelyn yells at Jonathan.
"Shut up and get me off here, Jonathan," Evelyn said
I don't want him to hurt Evelyn.
Believe in yourself. Feel your magic and make it do what you want it to. -Tom and
Magic, what magic?
Later just do it. -Tom said
I let out a breath and did as Tom said. I felt for my magic and once I found it I flung it out at Imhotep sending flying backwards causing him to drop his knife.
"Open the book, Jonathan. It's the only way to kill him. You have to open the book and find the inscription." Evelyn said
"Well, I can't open it. It's locked or something. We need the key, Evy." Jonathan said
"It's inside his robes," Evelyn said
I see Ric take a sword from one of the statues. Imhotep gets up and heads towards Jonathan. I move over to Evelyn and try to get the cuffs that are holding her down off. Ric comes over and cuts them off, causing Imhotep to turn his attention back to us. He says something that causes the mummies that were around us to start fighting us. It doesn't take long for Ric to take care of them. It looks like he's playing baseball and using the sword like a bat and their heads as balls.
"Mummies," Ric said
He goes to cut the last chain but one of the mummies that he cut in half grabs his ankle and pulls him down. I feel for my magic and thinking about the mummy catching on fire, before forcing the magic towards him. Said mummy then catches on fire. Then a different one grabs Ric from behind I go to do the same thing but Evelyn distracts me.
"Look out! There's one there… O'Connell." Evelyn says
I look over in the same direction as her to see a different mummy carrying a large boulder, Ric tries to grab the sword but can't reach. A severed hand inches towards the sword, once the hand has ahold of the sword Ric, grabs the hand and cut the legs of the mummy. That causes the rock to crush the mummy instead of Ric. Once Ric frees Evelyn we go to move but hear Jonathan, then a set of doors open and mummified guards walkout.
"Oh boy," Jonathan said
This causes Imhotep to smile.
"Oh, yeah. This just keeps getting better and better." Ric said
"Do something, Jonathan," Evelyn said
"Me?" Jonathan asked
"You can command them," Evelyn said
"You have got to be joking," Jonathan said
"Finish the inscription on the cover, idiot, then you can control them," Evelyn said
"Oh. Right." Jonathan said
As he moves behind a rock, we continue to step backwards away from the mummies as then step towards us. I feel something grab me and then it throws me I hit a wall, I look up to see the mummy of Anck-Su-Namun has thrown Evelyn away from Ric. She then starts slashing at her with the knife that Imhotep had dropped. He takes this a good time, to say something in Ancient Egyptian that I don't understand. Which cause three of the mummies to jump forward to attack Ric. Ric screams at them, only for them to scream right back. He shakes his head and runs, they quickly follow. Evelyn is being chased by Anck-Su-Namun's mummy.
"Hurry up, Jonathan." Evelyn yells
I try to stand up but fall back down, my head is spinning. Ric runs and grabs hold of a rope he cuts it causing him to fly upwards and something to come down which lands on one of the mummies. He disappears only to reappear, running down the stairs, followed by three more guard mummies. He turns around but they are gone and reappear behind him.
"Ric, behind you," I said
He turns and starts to fight them. I see Imhotep looking for Jonathan, I stand up and follow behind him.
"I can't figure out this las symbol," Jonathan said
"What does it look like?" Evelyn asked
"It's a bird. A stork!" Jonathan said
I see Anck-Su-Namun has Evelyn pinned ready to stab her. I do to her what I did to Imhotep earlier, I send her flying into a wall.
"Ahmenophus." Evelyn and I said
"Oh yes, I see," Jonathan said
Ric is still fighting off the mummy guards. He gets thrown down a flight of stairs, the mummies gain on him and are about to kill him when Jonathan finishes the incantation. Casing them to stop, also causing Imhotep to stop and turn around. The mummies pull back the weapons and get back in line. Imhotep starts to yell at them but they don't move. Instead, Jonathan tells them to do something to Anck-Su-Namun. The guards head towards her, he yells her name, then turns and advances towards Jonathan.
"Give me that book," Imhotep says
Jonathan takes a step backwards and drops the book. The guard mummies take no time in killing the undead corpse of Anck-Su-Namun. This makes Imhotep mad so he once again advances towards Jonathan.
"Now you die," Imhotep says
He steps forward and wraps his hand around Jonathan's throat. Ric quickly runs over and chops Imhotep's arm clean off, but he is able to put it back on. Jonathan had grabbed the key when Imhotep wasn't looking.
"Evy, I've got it," Jonathan said
He proudly holds up the key. Imhotep and Ric start fighting. Jonathan runs over to Evelyn and I with the book and the key in hand. We meet him halfway.
"Keep him busy," Evelyn yells she then quickly opens the book.
I look over to see Imhotep throw Ric into a wall.
"No problem," Ric said
Imhotep punches Ric, causing him to go sailing backwards. Imhotep quickly makes his way over to Ric. Evelyn flips through the book looking for the right page.
"Hurry, Evy. Hurry." Jonathan said
"You're not helping," Evelyn said
Imhotep picks Ric up by the throat and holds him above.
"Now it's your turn," Imhotep said
Imhotep goes to suck the life from Ric.
"Oh. I've got it." Evelyn said
Evelyn then starts to read from the book. Imhotep drops Ric and turns to look at the top of the stairs where a blue fog-like cloud appears. From the cloud comes a chariot being pulled by four horses. They go through Imhotep and a blue shadow of him is in front of him then is pulled through him. As the chariot goes we can see Imhotep's soul being pulled away with it. Imhotep runs after it, but can't reach it before it disappears. Ric takes this chance to make it back over to us, he rolls backwards and grabs the sword as he goes. Imhotep turns back to look at us,
"I thought you said I was gonna kill him," Ric said
Imhotep walks towards us. Once he is within distance Ric stabs him.
"He's mortal," Evelyn said
Ric pulls the sword out, Imhotep looks at his hand which has blood on it. Imhotep stumbles backward into the black liquid. Which starts to pull him down below the surface. Before his head disappears it turns back into the head of the mummy, and he says something.
"Death is only the beginning." Evelyn translates
The tunnels start to shake, and the walls start to move.
"Time to go," Ric said
Ric grabs Evelyn's hand, and she grabs mine. We start to run out of the chamber. But as Jonathan is running he falls dropping the book of Amun-Ra and causing it to fall into the black liquid. Evelyn runs back over.
"You've lost the book. Jonathan, I can't believe…" Evelyn said
Jonathan and Ric run over to her and pull her.
"Hurry."
"Come on."
We continue running down the tunnels looking for the exit. We enter the room that is full of treasure. Jonathans stops and spins around.
"Couldn't we just…" Jonathan starts
Ric and Evelyn run back over to him and grab him.
"No, Jonathan," Evelyn said
As we are running up the stairs we here Beni.
"O'Connell. Wait." Beni yells
"Come on. Come on." Ric says
The door is almost closed.
"Wait! Please!" Beni yells
"Come on, come on. Beni." Ric yells
Beni doesn't make and the door closes, locking him in the room with all the gold.
"Goodbye, Beni," Ric said
Ric gets up and we continue to run towards the exit of the tunnels. We make it out only to see that what was left standing on the outside is also falling. It's being sucked into the sands of Egypt. We make it out just in time to see a big sand explosion. We stand watching, only to hear Jonathan scream. We all turn to see Ardith sitting on a camel.
"Thank you. Thank you very much." Jonathan said sarcastically
"You have earned the respect and gratitude of me and my people," Ardith said
"Yes, well, it was nothing," Jonathan said
"May Allah smile upon you always," Ardith said
He then kisses his hand then touches his head with the same hand.
"And yourself," Jonathan said
Ardith then rides off.
"Yea, anytime," Jonathan said
"Stay out of trouble," Ric said
"He's just leaving us here?" Jonathan asked
"We have camels and we know how to get back from here," I said
"Well, I guess we go home empty-handed again," Jonathan said
Ric looks at Evelyn.
"I wouldn't say that," Ric said
She turns to look up at him.
"Oh, please," Jonathan said
Ric and Evelyn then kiss. Jonathan starts talking to a camel.
"How about you, darling? Would you like a little kissy-wissy?" Jonathan asked
We then climb onto the two of the remaining camels. Ric and Evelyn on one, and Jonathan and I on the other. We then head back towards Cairo. We get halfway back when I notice the bags of treasure on the back of Ric's camel.
"Hey, Jonathan look what's on Ric's camel," I said
It takes Jonathan a second, but he does see it.
"Gold. Treasure." Jonathan said
Ric looks behind him to see the bags of treasure.
"Beni must have loaded it on the camel and then went back in for more," Evelyn said
"Guess he got his crumpets in the end," I said
"You are right Amara he did," Evelyn said
4 Months Later…
We were at Evelyn and Ric's wedding. He had asked her to marry him a week or so after we got back to Cairo. She, of course, said yes. I had been living with them. I was the flower girl. A month after the wedding, they had sat me down and Ric pulled out a piece of paper.
"Amare how would you like to become an O'Connell?" Ric asked
"What he means is, we were thinking about adopting you and making you part of the family and…" I cut Evelyn off
"Of course. I would love to." I said
I then hugged them both. A month after that they told me I was going to be a big sister because Evelyn was pregnant.
"I've always wanted to have a brother or a sister," I said
In the span of a few months, I got everything I ever wanted. I got people that I loved, that loved me and cared for me. I also got what I wanted most of all, a family
