Reviewers: Thanks oh, and yell at Jack in your reviews. He hurt my feelings. JohnnyCarnahanyahoo.ca This chapter is for you and the next one is for you too. ( Since this chappie isnt too long ) I hope you feel better soon.
The car hauled ass down the narrow bazaar street. The disciples started jumping out of stalls and leaping onto the convertible. One jumped on the car and grabbed my shoulder. I spun around and broke his arms off.
"Gotta go." I muttered pushing him off the car. It was no use as we all fought because they just kept coming on. Jonathon swerved the car and knocked us into some stalls which caused Daniel's to fall out of the back. I looked back and saw him tumble to the ground. I snickered. I had no sympathy for that man. "Gotta go." I smiled shooting a disciple in the head. I turned my head back to look at where Daniels was but all I could see was the diseased crazed mob around something, or rather, someone and in the middle of the mob all you could hear was a blood curdling scream. The convertible began to slow down since we were travelling down narrow alleys. Suddenly, a hideous ghoul jumps through the window.
"Hit him Jon!" I shouted hitting him on the shoulder.
"I am kind of busy, Laur!" He replied.
"Oh dear Lord." I frowned, pulled out my gun and shot the bastard. Rick pushed him out of the windshield and Evie screamed. There was a mob in front of us. Jon pushed on the gas, and swerved out of control and hit a wall. Rick grabbed Evie and pulled her out of the car.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" He shouted in a panic. We all leapt out of the car but it was too late. The angry, festering mob had surrounded us. I looked around in panic. I was so fucking scared. Rick glanced at me and pulled out a stick of dynamite. He looked around for a way to light it. I groaned in annoyance and grabbed the match. I walked over to Ardeth and struck the match against him and it lit. He yelped.
"Oh, shut it." Rick told him.
The crazed, chanting mob gaveRick a wide berth, staring at him and the rest of us with insane, bloodshot eyes. The crowd began to part and Imhotep walked towards us. He never took his eyes off me and Evie and surprisingly we never took our eyes off him. He looked gorgeous, like he had when he was alive.
"He's gorgeous." Evie whispered. Rick glanced at Evie and the idiot didn't see the match go down and he got burned. He yelped and dropped the match.
"Very." I said staring at him still. Rick looked up at me too in shock. I can't like another man though. Henderson. I still loved him, I know I did and this is ridiculous! HE'S A BLOODY MUMMY AND ONLY WANTS ME TO BRING HIS BLOODY GIRLFRIEND BACK!
"Stupid match." Rick muttered sticking another one against Ardeth's skin. Ardeth yelped again and gave a look to kill.
"He has consummated the curse, now all he need do is raise Anck-su-namun from the dead, then it will be the end of us, and the beginning for them." The curator told us.
"Thanks, but, we already fucking new that." I said angrily. Imhotep moved forward, heading right for us. Rick lit the fuse. Imhotep stepped up to Rick and stopped, watching the fuse burn down. It's a game of chicken. The tension mounts and the lit fuse is about to vanish inside the stick of dynamite, blowing it up, -- when Evie leaned forward and blew it out. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it. She smiled at me and we both stood beside Rick. He exhaled, but kept his eyes on Imhotep, who extended his hand to me. I sighed and looked up at Imhotep who had a wide, loving grin. It wasn't going to fool me.
"Koontash dai na." He said to me. I looked at Evie and she was about to translate when I heard a familiar voice.
"Take his hand, and he will spare the others." Beni smiled stepping through the crown.
"You fucking little bastard." Jonathon yelled. I looked at Jonathon in shock. He never swore. "If he hurts my sisters, I'll kill you myself." I smiled at Jonathon. My little brother…by two minutes. And, I never let him forget that.
Evie and I hesitated, looked around at the huge, bloodthirsty crowd surrounding us, holding axes, picks and scimitars, waiting to pounce, then I looks at Imhotep, confident, powerful, invincible while Evie looked at Rick.
"And bright ideas?" She asked Rick.
"I'm thinking…" Rick said through angry, gritted teeth. I sighed. I reached forward to grab his hand but I felt a hand around my waist pull me back.
"Laurie." Jonathon whispered sadly. "Please, don't do it."
"I have no choice." I whispered back. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and he released me.
"Laurie…" Rick began.
"I have to dammit." I said taking Imhoteps callused hand. He pulled my beside him and looked at Evie. She stifled a little sob, but bravely came over. He smiled at her andshewalked over to me. She grabbed my hand and Iput a comforting arm around her shoulder. Imhotep put his hand on my waist and I turned around.
"Keetah mi pharos, aja nilo, isirlan." Imhotep began as he looked at me.
"Come with me my princess. It is time to make you mine, forever." Beni translated.
"For all eternity, idiot." Evie glared at him. She then turned to Rick and smiled. "You better think of something quick, because if he turns me and Laurie into mummies, you are the first one I'm coming after."
Rick almostsmiled. "You've got guts, lady." God, I was sick of no one making that man smile. Save for me of course. Sorry, I'mgetting a little full of myself.
"Yes, and I think she'd like to keep them." I cut in. Imhotep suddenly let go of me and picked up Jonathon. He opened his mouth as if he was going to suck the life out of him when I grabbed my gun out of holster andheldit to my throat.
"If you kill him so help me God, you will never see your precious Anck-su-namun again." Imhotep looked at me, and slowly put Jonathon down. He ripped the key out of his pocket and Jonathon looked shocked.
"Hey, that's mine." He said advancing on him. Ardeth and Rick grabbed him. I tried to walk towards Jonathon to calm him down but Imhotep pulled me into him and he grabbed Evies arm. Rick lost it and tried to get to us but was held back by the curator.
"Evelyn!" Jonathon screamed. Evelyn…Evelyn! What about me? I'm his best friend dammit.Oh, I get it…he loves her. Ha, he's stillin denial about his feelings. "Laurie!" There we go.
"Be calm. There is still time. We can stop him yet." Ardeth told Rick. Rick and Evie looked at each other in hope that they would see each other again. Imhotep stopped and turned around and whispered.
"Para doos." Evie screamed.
"NOO!" I looked at her in confusion.
Beni smirked at me. "Kill them." He translated.
"YOU CREEP!" I screamed and began punching Imhotep. All he did was smile, and pick me up. "Honestly, must everyone pick me up like a sack of potatoes?" I lookedup and saw the crowd swarming around them. My eyes locked onto Rick's at he tried to pull through but he stumbled.
"LAURIE! EVEYLN!" Rick screamed. But the rabid vultureswere already moving in for the kill. Rick quickly bent down, pulled open a manhole cover and shoved Jonathan down inside it, then jumped in after him. The Curator pushed Ardeth Ray towards the manhole.
"Go! Find a way, kill the creature!" Ardeth said pushing Rick down the manhole.
EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT
A sewer grate is kicked out of a wall. Rick, Jonathan and Ardeth climb out of the hole and into an alley.
"We have to get Evie and Laurie back…especially Laurie." Rick said frantically.
"I'm with you, old man. No one touches my sister like that and gets away with it." Jonathon said angrily.
"You know where he's taking her?" Rick asked Ardeth.
"Yes, to Hamunaptra. To perform the ritual."
"What ritual?" Jonathon asked sounding worried.
"The ritual to bring the body of Anck-su-namun back."
"And how does one do that?"
"By reading from the book of the dead."
"Ah, of course." Jonathon said breathing in relief.
"And by killing your sister."
"Excuse me?" Jonathon asked looking up. Ardeth looked at Rick.
"Imhotep is now able to cross the desert with great haste." He told him. Rick nodded.
Jonathon tapped Ardeth on the shoulder. "Begging your pardon, but I wasn't quite clear on that last part." Ardeth ignored him.
"If he arrives there before us, we will be to late."
"Did you say kill my sister?" Jonathon gulped. Ardeth nodded.
"Laurie. Evie is only there to help him read the inscriptions. Although, I do not know why, maybe she is there because she read from the book as well."
"I know how to beat him to it." Rick smiled
QUONSET HUT - DUNES - MINUTES LATER
"So what's your little problem got to do with His Majesty's Royal Air Corp?" Winston asked taking a sip of his tea. For once, he was actually sober.
"Not a damned thing." Rick replied smiling.
"Is it dangerous?"
"You probably won't live through it." Winston's face lit up and he looked very interested.
"By Jove, do you really think so?" He questioned.
"Everyone else we've bumped into has died, so why not you?" Jonathon said softly.
"So what's the challenge?" Winston asked. He was hooked.
"Save the damsels in distress, kill the bad guy and steal his treasure." A slow, sloppy grin appears on Winston's face and he gives them a salute.
"Winston Havlock, at your service sir."
"You know, Laurie's going to kill you once she finds out you called her a 'damsel in distress." Jonathon said.
"Well, then she better not find out." He said squeezing Jonathon's shoulder.
SAHARA - DAY
Way off across the desert, a large sand-devil races over the dunes. The sandy whirlwind comes to a stop and starts to dissipate. Evelyn, Beni and I are suddenly ejected out of it, and we land in a dune. The swirling sand condensed and formed into Imhotep. He looked up into the sky, listening carefully.
"Get off me!" I screamed hitting Beni. He scrambled off top of me and grinned.
"That's the closest I've ever gotten."
"And the closest you ever will." I said kicking him where the sun don't shine. He winced in pain.
"What just happened?" Evie asked dusting sand off of her.
"All I remember is him turning into a blast of sand... and then I remember nothing." Beni whimpered still holding himself in pain. I smirked. There was a noise, a loud noise. Evie and I looked around.
"Laurie! Up there." She smiled pointing to a plane in the sky. I stood up and walked up beside Imhotep and smiled.
"Rick." Imhotep glanced at me angrily and opened his big mouth. Suddenly, sand flew up into the air. It was the shape of his face! He was going to kill them!
BIPLANE - DAY
Rick watched the desert below him come alive and rise up towards the plane. Winston looked over the side and saw what was coming. He laughed, threw the throttle, and put the plane into a dive.
"How are you!" Rick yelled to Jonathon who was hanging for dear life onto the wing.
"HOW DO YOU THINK I AM DOING?" He screamed back. Rick smiled.
"How about you!" He shouted to Ardeth on the other wing.
"FINE!" He shouted having the time of his life.
"Hang on men!" Winston yelled. Rick looked back into the blinding sand and saw a giant face forming inside the sandstorm. It's Imhotep. Grinning. Rick quickly, turns around and grabs the Lewis machine-gun, cocks the bracket and fires, blasting away at Imhoteps giant face inside the sandstorm. Imhoteps face began to laugh, then his jaw unhinged, his mouth opened wide, and he engulfed the plane. Winston blindly fights for control, elated.
"We're going down men." All you can hear is the biplane spinning inside the blowing sand. Engines roaring. Wind howling. Jonathan and Ardeth Ray screaming. And lastly, Winston Havlock…laughing.
"Brace yourself laddies." Rick looked down and prepared for the impact of the hit.
SAHARA - DAY
"Stop it! Stop it, you'll kill them." I screamed punching Imhotep. That's when Imhotep grabbed me and pushed me into him. I stare into his intense, beautiful eyes and suddenly he kissed me. A deep long kiss. My eyes went wide and I pushed myself away hard and fell into the sand again. Imhotep stared at me and laughed.
"I need to brush my teeth." I whined angrily.
"He's going to kill them!" Evie shouted. She ran over to Imhotep, glanced at the plane and then sighed, she grabbed Imhoteps face and kissed him. I stared at her in disbelief. Imhoteps eyes went wide. Evie turned him around and stared at the plane. The sand stopped and the plane was in the clearing. Evie pulled away and smiled victoriously at her plan…but, that's when she discovered the flaw. The plane spun out of control and crashed yard away in a sand dune.
The biplane smashed over a dune, rolled over and crashed upside down into another dune. The sand swirled as Rick fell out of the gunner's compartment. The left wing is jammed into the dune, andJonathanwas stuck hanging upside down.
"Excuse me; a little help would be useful…IF IT'S NOT TO MUCH TROUBLE!" Jonathon yelled angrily. Rick went over to help Jonathan as Ardeth Bay stumbled over to the gunner's compartment and tore the Lewis gun off it's mount. He threw the machine-gun over one shoulder, a cartridge belt over the other and staggered away. Rick and Jonathan look into the cockpit. Winston Havlock is dead and he has a smile on his face. The plane suddenly starts to move, the sand sinks under their feet, and they quickly high-tail-it away. Rick, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay make it to some rocks and look back. The biplane, with Winston Havlock inside, slides away over a dune. Rick gives it a salute as the plane vanishes over the dune and into the swirling sand. With that, they all walk away into the mystical and cursed lands of Hamunaptra.
