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

Story start

I sighed as I stood up and tried to move my bandaged shoulders a little bit. The cuts still hurt but I could manage. "What did the cuts look like?" I asked Rick and he shrugged.

"Don't ask me, ask her," he said and pointed to Evelyn, who looked queasy. I walked closer to her and steadied her from swaying.

"We don't need you falling and getting hurt as well," I said and she chuckled a little bit.

"Oh so you fell and got the cuts," Johnathon said like he was talking to a young and clumsy child.

My eye twitched a second before I looked over at him. I walked over to him and he backed away. I kept advancing towards him until he backed into a pillar. A small smirk was on my face as I leaned my face close to his. "Sorry to disappoint you old chap, but I'm not clumsy and I do not think that I could get cut in this way by falling," I said in a low whisper close to his lips.

Johnathon seemed dazed for a moment but when I walked back over to Evelyn and Rick he snapped out of the daze. "I'm not old," he yelled as he stomped over to us. I chuckled and gave him a small shrug. "You're older than me," I said before looking at Evelyn.

"So what did the cuts look like?" I asked. I was getting a little impatient, because I really wanted to know. No, not wanted to know, but needed to know. I needed to know if they were the same markings as the me that I saw in that vision of the past.

Evelyn was quiet as she racked her brain for the markings on my shoulders. I was pacing the best I could as the stinky warden approached our group. "When will we eat?" he asked as his gut growled. Rick rolled his eyes and Johnathon walked closer to me to get away from the warden. Evelyn just ignored the warden as she kept thinking.

A large gasp escaped Evelyn's lips when she finally realized where she had remembered seeing the marks on my shoulders. "Those marks are the same as the marks on the legendary and very deadly woman. Her name is nowhere in any of the books or information on her, but she is said to be Anubis's bringer of death. She was killed here in this very city, or that's what I've read. The Bembridge Scholars are not sure. She killed anyone that got in her way and everyone that Anubis told her to kill. She was his slave, his servant, and his weapon," Evelyn said to everyone like it was all a fascinating story.

My heart stopped. I quickly stopped pacing as I fell back on my butt in shock. No, I couldn't fall gracefully to the ground on my knees. I was so floored by all that Evelyn was saying, which just reinforced my vision that I fell flat on my butt.

"And you said you weren't clumsy," Johnathon said teasingly to me. I didn't retort back at him or even look at him for that matter. I was staring at the sand below me. My breathing was growing faster as it truly sunk in that I was the reincarnation of this woman who was the weapon of Anubis.

"You're not the reincarnation, you are her. You are Kanika. My darkness, my black weapon, Kanika," the dark chilling voice from my earlier vision whispered in my head.

I gasped as I clenched my eyes shut and grabbed my head. "My name is Lexi, and you need to get the hell out of my head," I yelled inside my mind. Hot fire raced through my shoulders as a furious growl sounded in my mind.

"Silence Kanika, you are my weapon. I command you to do as I wish, not for you to do what you like," the voice yelled and I registered that the god Anubis was speaking to me in my mind. A small tear slid down my cheek as his dark chuckle filled my mind.

"Lexi, Lexi, what's wrong?" Evelyn yelled and I heard Johnathon and Rick also calling my name. I felt two arms pull me into a chest and I started shaking.

"I'll leave you alone for now Kanika, but you will start your duties again soon," Anubis said harshly and almost coyly as I felt his presence leave my mind and my shoulders stopped hurting. I gasped as I opened my eyes in shock. I was staring straight into Johnathon's sharp yet childish eyes. "Lexi are you alright?" he asked worried.

I took a few deep breaths as I clenched my hands in his shirt. I could not speak and to tell you the truth, I had no idea what I would say. It's not like I could say that I'm the girl who is Anubis's weapon and he wants me to come off of vacation and go back to work. I sighed before giving Johnathon a small smirk. "Thanks, I'm fine," I whispered as I stood up.

I was a little shaky on my feet, but not too bad. I sat down by the bags of my group and said, "Now, I think you four should go eat and then get back to exploring before Dr. Chamberlain and the others find all the good stuff. Anyways I'm fine. I'll fix me something to eat so don't worry about me."

Evelyn went to protest but I just told her to go on. I did not want her to have all of the interesting archeological finds found before she even got to actually dig around a lot in the tombs. Rick gave me a small nod to make sure I was alright and he dragged Evelyn away. The warden followed quickly as his small brain realized that food was involved.

However Johnathon remained standing in front of me. "What is it?" I asked him as I gave him a side glance while digging through one of the bags for something to eat.

"Um I'm sorry, we've got off on a bad start. Want to start over?" Johnathon said after a little while of silence. I stopped rummaging around in the bags and looked over at him. He had a sincere look on his face for us to try and begin anew. It was a weird sensation that coursed through me but it made me a little happy.

I smiled and stood up and walked over to Johnathon. I stuck out my hand and said, "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Lexi." Johnathon smiled and took my hand in his and gave the top of my hand a small kiss. The feel of his lips on my hand felt nice and I tried to stop the blood from rushing to my cheeks.

"Nice to meet you Lexi, my name is Johnathon Carnahan," Johnathon said as he stood back up and released my hand. I smiled at him a little bit and was about to say something, but the sound of our stomachs growling stopped any speech I was about to say.

I laughed and so did he. "You better go eat," I said and pointed for him to go to his campsite. He gave me a small wink before walking over to his sister. I smiled a little more as I sat down and resumed my search for food.

"Success," I yelled when I pulled out a can of soup.

Later that night, I sighed when everyone returned. Excuse me, my mistake, the group was missing some diggers. "What happened?" I asked Daniels and he gave me a freaked out expression. "The diggers were melted by some type of salt acid," he said before walking over to drink with his friends.

I frowned as I looked over to Dr. Chamberlain for a more detailed answer. "When they opened the tomb, pressurized salt acid sprayed out on their faces, arms, hands, and necks, they were killed," he said before going over to his sleeping area.

"Poor guys, they didn't deserve that. However they shouldn't have bothered the tomb of some dead guy. I don't like the whole idea of going into a tomb and bothering someone's resting place," I thought as I jumped onto one of the fallen pillars and started walking on it.

My senses went wild when I heard gun shots and war cries sound through the city. "Your services are now reinstated," the voice of Anubis said in my mind when my hand went to my dagger. I gasped when I watched my dagger change to a long crimson curvy blade that had a black handle. Small bones hung from some black thread hanging from the handle. "Welcome back Kanika," Anubis whispered as my body surged with strength and my eyes turned crimson. Bloodlust and power were the only thing coursing through me and taking over my mind.
