I do not own The Mummy or any of the plot or characters. However I do own Lexi.

Story start

The Americans around Johnathon laughed and cat called at my retreating form. It served Johnathon right for taking something of mine. He should know after this that he should never steal from me again, well that is if he values his life. I smiled softly at the dagger on my wrist. It was the very first weapon that my father bought for me and he taught me how to use it. Memories of laughter and my father's teachings came to my head before I shook them away.

I sighed as I walked into my room. I buttoned my shirt back up and slipped on my brown coat. I had gotten a little chilly walking back to my room. I sheathed my katana and fixed the sword at my side. I had a strange feeling that I might need the blade soon. Unfortunately, I left all of my other blades back home, or in other words at Dr. Chamberlain's place. I now lived with him, so I could be at his every beck and call. Let me tell you, working for that man is infuriating.

I walked back onto the deck and leaned against the railing. The night sky reflected majestically on the Nile River. I smiled at the beauty of the world around me. Sure many places are truly horrible, but all I see around me is pure natural beauty. A small swish of clothing sounded behind me and I quickly spun around. I frowned when there was no one there.

"What's going on?" I thought suspiciously as I walked away from the railing. My eyes widened when I saw wet footprints. "Something is wrong," I thought as I quickly ran around the boat. I gasped in surprise when a bullet zipped past my face, barely missing me. I felt the heat from the bullet. "Shit," I whispered as I saw a man pointing a gun at me. He was in black robes and I could see markings on his hands and face. I frowned and quickly ran to where I heard more gun shots being fired. As I ran I pulled my gun out of my pocket and shot the man who had shot at me. My bullet hit him in the forehead and he fell back dead.

"Lexi," Dr. Chamberlain yelled scared to death as he hid behind the other Americans in our group. Their names were Henderson, Burns, and Daniels. The three men bugged me with their lecherous looks, but I always kept my distance from them. Beni Gabor, our guide to Hamunaptra, was nowhere in sight. I growled angrily as I grabbed Dr. Chamberlain. He gave me an offended look as I shoved him to the railing. "Jump and swim to shore," I yelled as I dodged a bullet.

Dr. Chamberlain was about to protest, but when a bullet came close to hitting his foot he quickly jumped off the boat. "Come on," I yelled to Burns, Daniels, and Henderson. They gave me a quick glance before they kept shooting. I growled and jumped off the boat. I quickly swam to shore and rung the water out of my hair. I sighed when I noticed that Dr. Chamberlain was on the other side of the river. I looked around and noticed that I was on the side with Johnathon, the woman from earlier with him, that other American, and some smelly man.

I sighed as I locked eyes with Johnathon. "So you are going to Hamunaptra too?" Johnathon said with a small smirk.

I eyed him curiously as I asked, "How in the world do you know that?"

He laughed and said, "Those three Americans told me during our little game, well before you showed up during our game."

I nodded and let out another sigh when I heard Dr. Chamberlain yell for me in a very outraged tone. "I'm over here Dr. Chamberlain," I yelled as I waved my arms above my head so the big oaf could see me. Dr. Chamberlain finally looked in my direction and he ordered me to get back over there. I shook my head as I looked at my drenched clothes and the cold desert night was not putting me in a good mood.

"I'll just meet up with you at Hamunaptra," I yelled as I turned my back on my outraged boss and looked at the four people staring at me. "Hi I'm Lexi and since we are going to the same place, I think we should go together," I said trying my best to smile. The woman smiled at me and we shook hands. "I'm Evelyn Carnahan; this is my brother Johnathon, our guide Richard O'Connell, and this is Warden Gad Hassan," the woman said as she introduced everyone to me.

I gave each person a nod before my eyes landed on Johnathon. I saw him staring at my chest and I sighed and quickly closed my coat. His eyes snapped up to my eyes and I said, "It would be in your best interest if you kept your eyes to yourself."

He coughed and looked away from me as we all started walking to the nearest city. Evelyn was telling me with such excitement all about what she hoped to find at Hamunaptra. I told her that I hope she finds everything she is looking for. She asked me what I was going to do at Hamunaptra and I said, "I'm just hired to protect Dr. Chamberlain and help him carry equipment, or in other words I keep him from dying and he treats me like a pack mule. When we get to Hamunaptra, I'm going to keep out of those tombs and make sure no one steals any of the equipment. I'll stay out of those tombs and tunnels as long as we are there if I can."

Evelyn was a little surprised by my words, but she did not dwell on the subject long. We walked as long as we could throughout the night and took a few breaks.

The next day we arrived at a city. Evelyn was taken into a tent to get cleaned up. After a while, Evelyn ran out of the tent and pulled me into the tent with her. I sighed as the women in the tent started telling me to take off my clothes. I was not ready to part with my clothes at all. Finally after an argument with the women they let me keep my clothes, but they insisted on doing my hair and makeup.

My eyes were lined with kohl and a crimson color was painted on my lips. My straight onyx hair was brushed smooth and shined in the little light shining through the tent. I took off my coat and rolled up my sleeves to my elbows before walking out of the tent. Evelyn followed behind me and I caught a little bit of Johnathon's and Richard's conversation. However Richard insisted we call him Rick or O'Connell. I'll just be calling him Rick.

I smiled when I was handed the reins to one of the camels. I gave the camel a good pat on the head before getting on the seat. Once everyone was set, we headed out on our journey to Hamunaptra. I stayed as far away from the warden as I could. The man smelled like he had never taken a bath in his entire life.

I felt a little like the odd one out of the group as I saw Rick staying close to Evelyn and Johnathon was stuck by the warden. I stayed at the back of the group looking at the area surrounding us as we traveled through the desert.

Later at night, Johnathon's camel slowed down and he ended up beside me. I gave him a confused look but my look disappeared when I saw him falling asleep. Evelyn was also asleep and Rick was making sure she stayed on the camel. "I guess I can try to be nice and make sure Johnathon does not fall off his camel," I thought with a small sigh.

Johnathon's body started slipping sideways and I quickly yet gently situated him back up on his camel. Both of his arms lashed out and grabbed my hand as I started pulling away from him. He mumbled something in his sleep as he held my hand to his side. I tried to pull my hand away, but he would not let go. I sighed and looked up at his face to make sure he was really asleep.

A small frown appeared on my face when I saw the small angry line on his neck where I had cut him. I don't regret doing it that much, but I hoped the cut did not hurt too badly. I sighed as I realized how much my temper can really get to me sometimes. "Well he shouldn't have stolen that," I thought as I glanced down at my free wrist, where my prized dagger was. I looked back up at Johnathon and saw that he looked rather childish when he slept and it made me laugh quietly. "Maybe he's not all bad, but I'll see," I thought before looking up at the night sky again.
