I watched as Dana worked silently on Ardeth's wounds, mending the skin the best she could. He would have more scars on his body from this. She then turned to me and I shook my head at her.
"I'm fine." I told her with a smile. They both gave me a look. "What?" I asked them.
"If I didn't know better I'd say you were my sister." Dana told me.
"My brother needed a stubborn sister just like he needs a stubborn wife, Evelyn Carnahan will be good for him." I said smiling.
"Let Dana see to your wounds." Ardeth told me.
"Your wounds are much more serious than mine. I barely got a scratch on me." I told them. They gave each other a look before Dana continued to me to do her work on me. She looked me over but with the exception of when the Anubis statue came to life and grabbed me I was unharmed.
"Just a few scratches and none that were too deep." She told me and I smiled at the both.
"See. I told you." I told them. They both sent me identical looks and I laughed lightly before leaving and going to my tent. My tent didn't hold a lot of belongings that I'd brought with me from before I'd started living among the tribes, but I still had my most important items with me. When my brother and I had been adopted together by the O'Connell family everyone was surprised. They had requested one child, a girl, but my brother had refused to let them have me. We were each other's worlds, and we didn't want to let that world fall apart. I sat on my bed roll and picked up the journal I'd started keeping when I was in the orphanage. After leaving for America, the American family turned out not to be as great as they had lead everyone to believe they were. Our mother was abusive and would send her husband out for alcohol every day for her since it wouldn't be proper for a lady to buy such things. Our father was abusive but in other ways. He'd lock Rick up in his room and I would hear his screams and demands to be released until my own screams started. That reason right there was probably why Rick never really had a family of his own and was so protective of what little he had.
"Kat?" I looked up to see Ardeth standing just outside my tent.
"Come in, Ardeth." I said smiling at him.
"Are you alright?" he asked me before sitting down wincing in slight pain.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I asked him and he chuckled at me question before waiting for my response.
"When Imhotep first woke, he had Eve and I cornered I had a vision of two women. One was very beautiful and the other was…. Me." I finally told him.
"Your past life?" he asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"I wish I knew." I told him looking at the journal once more.
"How often have you had these visions?" he asked me.
"Just the one time. After that we were so busy to stop him that we barely had time for anything else." I said and he nodded at my words.
"Perhaps now that your mind has time to rest the memories will return to you once more." He said and I once again shrugged.
"But do I want them to?" I asked him. "I don't know who these two women are let alone their back story. What if whatever I did in that life made me have the life I had before I came here?"
"That isn't possible." He said plainly and I laughed lightly at him, not believing his words.
"And why's that?" I asked him.
"That is not you. The woman you are now and the woman you saw in your vision are two different people. You are strong, smart, and one of the bravest people I've met." He told me and I felt my face getting hotter.
"Thank you." I said smiling at him.
"You do not have to thank me for telling you the truth." He told me and I gave him a light look.
"No, I have to thank you for telling me exactly what I needed to hear." I told him putting the journal aside. "Did you have a reason for coming to see me despite your sister's orders?"
"How do you know my sister didn't want me to come see you?" he asked me.
"I know your sister wouldn't want you to move around after just bandaging you." I told him making him smile.
"You know my family too well." He said.
"Only because I'm always around someone in your family." I said and he nodded.
"I merely wished to see you were well." He said.
"Thank you, and I am well. Tired, but I'll be okay." I told him.
"Then I shall leave you to sleep. Good night Kat." He said before standing and walking out of my tent for either his own or his sister's. Knowing him he'd just go back to his and read or something like that. I laid back on my bed roll and stared up at the top of the tent without actually seeing it. I was thinking of those women I saw. I'd have to do some research on them until all my past memories came back to me. That was my final thoughts before I rolled over and went to sleep.
I was walking in the streets of Thebes alongside my brother with the Medji guards behind us.
"Amunet, you seem to be lost in your thoughts. What troubles you?" my brother asked me. I looked up to him and debated telling him my troubles. I ended up deciding against telling him. He had many things to worry about and I wouldn't allow my troubles to distract him.
"It is nothing brother." I looked ahead of us again to see my oldest and dearest friend. I smiled and walked up to her. I noticed the looks between her and my brother, but never said anything to anyone. She was the Pharaoh's concubine and he was the Pharaoh's priest. "Ank, what are you doing here?" I asked her.
"I was tired of the palace views so I decided to join everyone in the city." She told us. We enjoyed the rest of the day walking and talking in the market place before we all left for the palace once more.
