Chapter 20: Here we go again~
It's been awhile since I posted Chapter 19. Things happened and I wasn't in the mood to write. I thought of giving up but the reviews got me back here. I decided to pick it back up. I would like to apologize if this chapter doesn't make sense because I am not sure where it would lead. All the plots in my head was gone. Anyway, I will try my best to make it a good story. Thank you for the supports. Love you guys
Let's have it~
"Ahhhhhhhhh" Rick yelled. "Ahhhhhhh" the man yelled in shock as well. "You scare the hell out of me, Rick" Jonathan said. Rick rolled his eyes. "I am not in the mood to talk, Jonathan. Get out of my way" Rick said. "Come on Rick. I haven't seen you in awhile. Don't you miss your dear brother-in-law? Well, you seem to be in bad mood. Had fight with old mum? Speaking of her, where is she? Must be missing me deadly" Jonathan said without a pause, enthusiastic being back from the dessert. "Somebody got her" Rick said coldly. "What do you mean got her?" Jonathan asked. Rick was tired to speak so he moved to have Jonathan see the scratch on the floor. "I say, why the scratch? Don't tell me is the old mummy again" Jonathan asked when he noticed it. "I don't know" Rick said and sighed. "I went to buy groceries. She wasn't here when I got back. I thought she went to the library again. But, Bob said she didn't show up at the library. Just now, I noticed the scratch. I have no clue where she is" Rick said. "Cheer up, old boy. She must have gone for a walk. You know, she can't stay too long in the house" Jonathan said. "How do you explain the scratch?" Rick asked. "Listen, I am going to find her. I don't buy your story" Rick said and turned to leave. "Where are you going? I mean Cairo is bloody huge, not to mention the whole Egypt. Maybe someone will send notes?" Jonathan said, still couldn't believe his sister was kidnapped. "Look, she's probably suffering in nowhere. You can argue at here or help me to find her. Whoever got her is going to pay for it" Rick said out loud, impatiently. He took few steps before he noticed a guy on a horse was coming at his direction.

She felt numb. Her neck hurt like hell. She felt like her head is going to explore into pieces. And the world is shaking. Indeed, she was on top on the camel, someone was holding her, keeping her from falling. The weather was hot. 'This is Egypt, Evelyn' she thought. 'Was it a dream? That we got back from Hamunaptra? That I got married? Oh god, please tell me it was not a dream' her mind was confused. "You're awake" the voice broke her thoughts. "George!!!" she yelled. "What do you think you are doing?" she yelled again. In fact, George was holding her, so closely. "Let go of me!" she said. "If I was you, I would stay still and be quiet. You wouldn't want to fall down. If you still care for the baby" George said. 'Baby? Baby... Married... Rick... Rick!' memory flow in and everything started to make sense. 'I got kidnapped. Again' she thought. "What do you want?" she asked. "Oh yes. I should let you know, so that I can get the direction. Well, we are going to Hamunaptra. And you are going to bring me there" George said. "What... what... Hamunaptra? Are you insane? It doesn't exist" she lied. "Yes it does exist. Someone has gone there and came back in one piece" George said. "Hamunaptra is a myth. What a shame that you believe it" she said as she wasn't going to give in. "You are a terrible liar, Evie" George said. "Don't call me that. You have no right" she said. "I have no right? I used to call you Evie. We used to be close. And we should be close. We should get married. You are suppose to be my wife!" George said. "We are done long time ago. And you know that" she said. "You and I are perfect match. The yank is no good for you. He is so rude and not well educated!" George said. "Yes he is rude. But you know what? He loves me and I love him. You are selfish who care for yourself" she said. "It doesn't matter anymore. Soon I will be the most powerful person in the world. You will obey to me. And now, tell me how to get to Hamunaptra. Don't try to bluff me, I know the three of you are the survivors came back from Hamunaptra. And don't try my patience as I will do anything to get there. If you want your child to be safe, let's stop playing games with me. I know you far better" George warned Evelyn. She had no choice but obey because the safety of the baby inside her tummy, Rick's baby is being threatened.

"I believe something happened" Hassan said as he noticed Rick's expression. "What do you mean? You take my wife?!" Rick grabbed Hassan's collar impatiently. "Relax my friend. I suspect your wife missing is caused by a friend of yours called George" Hassan said. "George? why him?" Rick asked. "I suspect he knows about Hamunaptra. He showed interest on Hamunaptra and got some information at the market" Hassan said. "Shit!" Rick swore. "And that's why he left us" Jonathan said. "What do you mean?" Rick asked. "One morning we woke up and he was gone. Well, I thought he finaly had enough in the dessert and well, got back to London. Since he was gone, I can't go further without Evie being there to guide me, and here I am" Jonathan said. Rick sighed. "I'm going to get her back" Rick said. "Count me on. I may not be helping much but she is my sister" Jonathan said. "I have camels" Hassan said and the guys looked at him. "You need the camels. Bring them back in one piece. Alive" Hassan said. "Here we go again" Rick said, ignored Hassan funny comments.

He always staying awake during the lights and the darks. He didn't seem to have enough sleep. He had duties. He had to guard the city. His followers took the shift but he was there most of the time. The elderly count on him to make sure the undead wouldn't be awaken again. Egypt couldn't take such plague for a second time. They simply couldn't afford the price and consequences that brought by the undead. The moving shadow under the moonlight caught his attention. "Why don't these people stop chasing for Hamunaptra?" Aderth said quietly. "Halim, go and have a look. Be careful and don't expose youself" Aderth instructed one of his men.
I promise the next one wouldn't have to wait so long. Review please.
