I do not own The Mummy or any of the plot or characters. However I do own Lexi.
Story start
When we all arrived back at Cairo my headache was fully gone. I would probably be cursing Anubis in my head as much as I could, but I knew he would hear my thoughts and he would make the pain come back again. I truly did not want anymore pain, because I've had enough that deals with pain at the moment. Right now I just want a nice bath.
"Lexi, this way," Dr. Chamberlain ordered when he saw me walking through the city with Evelyn and the others. I glared at my boss and said, "What do you want now?"
Dr. Chamberlain drew back slightly in fear as I stormed over to him. I got right up in his face with my tired and fuming look. He started to stutter before he finally said a full sentence. "I order you to do your job, which is to protect me. You will be on guard for that mummy starting now, so follow me. I need to pack," Dr. Chamberlain ordered in what he tried to make sound commanding, but it came out feeble.
My eye twitched as I stared at Dr. Chamberlain. I looked over to the others and said, "I guess I'll see all of you later, maybe, but just be careful." Evelyn wanted to protest but Rick gave me a wave and then he dragged Evelyn back to her hotel. Johnathon gave me a frown and a small wave before he followed Rick and his sister.
I sighed and followed Dr. Chamberlain. He was clutching a big ancient book and his canopic jar. "If you and the others had not opened that chest in the first place then none of this would be happening," I said in a bored tone.
"Silence Lexi," Dr. Chamberlain yelled and his voice cracked at the end. I shook my head and placed a hand on his shoulder. I may hate the guy, but I'm sure he needs a little bit of security at the moment. If calming him down a bit helps him be quiet than I'll definitely help. I'm tired of hearing his voice at the moment.
"Look, just do what you have to do and I'll watch your back. I'll keep you safe until we are safely out of Egypt," I said in a calming voice.
Dr. Chamberlain sighed and gave me a small smile. I was shocked to see a smile appear on his face. "Thank you Lexi, I'm sorry that I've been so cruel. I'll treat you better when we get home," he said and I just dumbly nodded.
Anubis laughed loudly in my head before saying in a booming voice, "You can not protect this man. Also you can never leave this place unless I allow you to leave Kanika. Imhotep will kill this man."
I growled in my head and said, "I may not can leave unless you let me, but I'll be damned if I let Dr. Chamberlain die at the hands of Imhotep."
Anubis was quiet for a moment before chuckling. "You already are damned Kanika," he whispered before leaving my mind. My eyes widened and I felt a shake of terror run through my body.
"Lexi," Dr. Chamberlain called as he walked a few paces ahead of me. I shook my head and told myself not to worry about what that crazy god said. "Even if I am damned, I'm going to try my best to stop this Imhotep person," I thought resolute to help everyone that I could. Anubis may control me and hold my soul now, but that does not mean I'm going to be a good little weapon.
"Coming," I called as I ran up to Dr. Chamberlain and we headed up to his room. He ran around his room trying to decide what was good to take and what was better off left. I sighed as I leaned my back against the wall. I had no need of packing any of my stuff, since I knew I was not able to leave yet. "Stupid god," I thought and pain erupted in my shoulders. I bit my lip again to stop my yell and I sighed when the pain stopped.
Dr. Chamberlain stopped what he was doing and looked over at me. "You're bleeding Lexi," he said and pointed to my face. I brought a hand up to my lips and felt blood trickling out of my lip. "Go clean up, but come right back," Dr. Chamberlain said with a small smile that was filled with fear.
I nodded and headed over to his bathroom. I left the door open and headed over to the sink. I washed off the blood and when I held a towel to my lip, a large gust of wind slammed the bathroom door shut. I heard the lock click and I also heard Dr. Chamberlain scream. "Run," I yelled to him as I dropped the towel and tried to open the door. The lock would not budge.
"Lexi," Dr. Chamberlain yelled terrified as he ran out of the room.
"Don't you dare hurt him Imhotep," I yelled in ancient Egyptian. A dark chuckle sounded around me in the wind before it disappeared. "No," I yelled as I rammed my body against the door. It was too thick to break down or bust through. I took a few deep breaths as I looked around the bathroom.
There was a window. I smirked and quickly tried to undo the latches on the window, but they too were locked. If I jumped out of the window it would cut me to shreds and I would surely break some bones landing on the ground outside, which was two stories down.
"Lexi," Johnathon's voice yelled when he and Rick ran into Dr. Chamberlain's room. Dr. Chamberlain's name was called out by Rick.
"In here," I yelled and kicked on the bathroom door.
Johnathon and Rick ran over to the bathroom and pulled on the door while I pushed. "Bloody hell how did you lock yourself in the bathroom, Lexi?" Johnathon asked as I heard him struggling to pull open the door.
I sighed and yelled, "I didn't lock myself in the bathroom, that stupid mummy did."
The door pulled off the hinges and I ran out of the bathroom. "Thank you," I yelled as I hugged Rick shortly and then I pulled Johnathon into a longer hug. A scream from the streets made my eyes go wide and I quickly let Johnathon go and I started running out of the room. I looked out of one of the hallway windows and I saw Imhotep, almost fully regenerated, standing before a cowering Dr. Chamberlain.
"No, don't touch him," I yelled in ancient Egyptian. Imhotep looked up at me confused before smirking.
"He is marked by death; if I was not supposed to kill him then you would have to Kanika. You should thank me for giving you a little breather," Imhotep yelled back before giving a dark chuckle.
"No," I screamed as Imhotep approached Dr. Chamberlain. I went to jump out the window, but two arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back in the window. I looked back and saw that Johnathon was the one holding me. "It's too late," Johnathon whispered as Dr. Chamberlain's scream rang through the skies.
Imhotep chuckled again before letting out a loud roar. Bugs flew at the window and Rick quickly slammed it shut. "Let's get your sister and go," Rick yelled. Johnathon nodded in agreement. Rick started running off but Johnathon stood there holding me as I stood still. "I may have hated the guy, but I didn't want him to die. Not like that," I whispered shaking.
"Lexi, we have to go, I'm sorry about your boss, but he no longer has to worry about that mummy, but we do," Johnathon said as he hugged me and rubbed my back. I took a shaky breath before nodding.
"Alright, let's get out of here," I said and we took off running. Johnathon and I ran and got in the car and I knew I would fall asleep in the comfy seats, if this was not a life or death situation.
Anubis sighed and said, "Imhotep will not kill you so relax." I gaped at him in my head and said, "Well I'm glad to know he won't kill me, but I'm not too happy about the fact that he wants to kill all of my new friends."
"You were never this much of a hassle in the past," Anubis said aggravated. "Well this isn't the past so welcome to the future," I said annoyed in my head. Anubis growled and I just ignored him. I'm getting really tired of hearing his voice in my head.
