Chapter Three: Awake?

She woke in darkness, opened eyes to nothing but black. it was hard to breathe and as she felt around, she found she was trapped; enclosed in something that would not open no matter how much she pushed, kicked and screamed. Then she heard the clicks, someone was letting her out. The moment the enclosed space became loose, she pushed it away with little ease.

Larry Daley had just come to Washington D.C after a distressing phone call from Jedediah lead him to the archives. He had just gotten the tablet when it glowed, magical properties bringing everything around him to life, along with the egyptians that surrounded him.

Tricking them into the suckers of eight octopus tentacles gave him his escape with the tablet, meeting one general custer for all of three seconds before The man himself was knock off his own bike. Then he bumped into Amelia earhart, the sassy woman had no budged a foot when she heard the distressed yelling of the trapped female.

Once the exhibit was no longer trapped, Both Amelia and Larry jumped back as a wrapped mummy shot up from laying position. Hands flew to her head to rip the wrapping from her face, when removed, Larry couldn't help but stare.

''that's stuffy'' She coughed out before noticing her company. Opening her mouth to say her thanks, she was beaten by the yells of angry Egyptian.

''No time for pleasantries, missy! We've got to fly!'' Amelia helped the female egyptian from the sarcophagus and pulled her along as she and Larry ran. Confused, She ran along with the strangers who set her free

''What are your names!?'' She called to them, the voice startled Larry just as her face did. He wasn't sure when he'd seen a more glowing looking face on a female, her skin was without flaw and her green eyes shone brightly.

''Amelia earhart!'' The red haired woman had answered once they stopped running.

''Larry daley'' Larry also said distantly as the two females followed him upstairs. The egyptians hadn't stopped pursuing them but they were far enough away to stop running.

''You're quite the popular fellow, Mr Daley.'' Amelia spoke as the three walked through a large brown door. The surroundings where strange, so much had changed. ''Why don't you just skedaddle?'' Amelia added.

''I can't just Skedaddle. My friends are being held down there, i got to go get them. I got to find another way down'' Larry responded.

Green eyes fell upon the gold in his arms ''You have the tablet.'' She stopped in her steps, causing Amelia and Larry to do the same. Green eyes watched his movements warily. Larry looked down at the tablet in his arm, wondering why it was important to her.

''What are you doing with Ahk's tablet?'' The glare he was given was intense, A look of anger he'd never once seen so strong.

''Protecting it.'' Larry answered ''Who are you?'' He wondered, as the egyptian female removed her wrapping to reveal a long white dress with a golden cuff around the waist. Around her neck was a gold cuff that simply wrapped around the flesh neatly.

''Nefertari, Wife to the fourth king of the fourth king, Queen of egypt.'' She stated proudly, holding out a hand and expecting Larry to give it to her. ''My husband's tablet, if you please'' Nefertari was confused to wide eyes of Larry but dismissed it until he spoke

''Ahkmenrah never said anything about a wife'' Larry was in a shock, There was nothing on or in Ahkmenrah's display that ever even implied he had a wife. The pharaoh himself never mentioned her at all.

''You know him?'' Nefertari questioned as her hand dropped to her side.

Larry nodded ''In the New York at the Natural history museum. He's a friend''

Nefertari's eyes filled with tears as she gasped ''That's where i'm being moved to! I can see him again?!''

''Not if Kahmunrah get's his hands on this tablet'' Larry turned and walked away with Amelia quick on his heels. Neither of them saw Nefertari's eyes as they dropped from happy and shining, the dull and malicious. She followed quickly after Larry and Amelia, catching up as Larry stared into a painting that had also come alive.

''I-i don't think it's you they're afraid of, Mr Daley'' Amelia said, bringing Larry's attention to the warriors advancing on them. The three of them backed against a painting of an old couple.

''Trade you'' Larry spoke, giving the man the tablet as he took the pitchfork. ''Back off! just back off!'' Larry said as he swung the gardening tool around aimlessly and dangerously. In the painting to Nefertari's right, a man smashed a bottle on the edge of his table. ''I will fork you''

Nefertari rolled her eyes as Amelia grabbed the gardening tool ''Never send a boy to do a womans job. I spent two weeks spear hunting with a tribe in micronesia'' Amelia had the tool lifted over her shoulder, Nefetari opened her mouth to say they were more skilled than she was but failed to get the words out before Amelia threw the tool.

The tool was grabbed in mid air ''The Micronesians had much slower reflexes.''

Come on!'' Larry called, grabbing the tablet and running towards the black and white painting of two people kissing. The girls following close behind quickly as they dodged the flying spears. Nefertari was going to kill Kahmunrah, For killing her husband.

There wasn't anyone that Nefertari would not kill for Ahkmenrah. She wasn't as innocent as people believed her to be.
