Love A Foreign Land

Working at a museum was the last place that Katharine thought she would be. In no way was Katharine like her twin sister Evelyn. For one while Evie had dark brown, Katharine had dirty blonde with her sister's dark brown streaks running through her head.

Evie had a milquetoast skin tone, Katharine had a sun kissed tone from being in the outside, unlike Evie who was in the museum most of her days. However they both had their mother's brown Egyptian eyes. Their brother Jonathan was a complete and utter opposite from the two, Jonathan have brown hair and blue eyes, the same face as their father.

Their personalities where also complete and totally opposites, Evie was the shy bookworm, whom when angry used big words against you. Katharine was almost the same as Evie seeing that during most times when she was annoyed she too also big words. But Katherine was always a fighter, she would always be in a fight, but it was more like a "you touch me, then you get knock to the ground." And Jonathan once again is the complete opposite of his sisters; he was rude, a bit of a liar, a drunk, a gamble and the list could probably go on and on.

Katherine

I was in the museum with my sister Evelyn; she was in a sad mood seeing as she once again got a rejection letter from Bembridge for her lack of field experience. I had offered to go to the head building and give them a piece of my mind, but Evie was never the one to condone fights.

I was in the office just fixing up some paperwork that obviously needs to be cleaned up; it was such a pig-sty in this confined space. Director Bey was such a lazy person, never liking to do his own paperwork, so I am left to it. As I was cleaning up the mess of paperwork Director Bey walks into the room.

"Katherine, how is that paperwork coming along?" I had to resist rolling my eyes at that question.

"Well, Director if you perhaps help with your paperwork then I think that this would go a little faster." I bite back. Just as he was going to reply there was a loud crash in the library section of the museum.

Director Bey stared at me with a glared, "That had better not be who I think it was!" I bit my tongue praying to the Gods that it wasn't Evie.

We both speed walk into the library and stared at the mess before us, the Director exploded in fury, "Oh, look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs, flies, locusts, anything but YOU! Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!"

"Now Director don't too crazy it was an accident. Right Evelyn?" This wasn't the first time Evie had screwed up in the museum but I do think that this was probably the last time she would work here. I was trying to help her, but Director Bey isn't one of the easiest people to calm down, once he got angry it took quite of a challenge to unwind him.

Evie had a scared look on her face, she was ringed her hands around each other, "I am so very sorry it was an accident."

That apologize made the director even angrier, " No my darling girl when Ramses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Why do I put up with you and your sister?"

That comment made my blood boil, "Excuse me! The reason why you put up with us is because both Evie and I can read and write Ancient Egyptian. Evie can decipher hieroglyphics and heretics. And the fact the Evie is the only person in a thousand miles that can properly category this blasted library. That's why!"

"No the reason I put up you two is because your parents were the two finest patrons, Allah best their souls. Now I don't care how you do it, I don't care how long it takes, both of you clean up this meshiver!" Dr. Bey yelled, storming out of the room red in the face.

I turned to my sister and show tears that were threaten to fell down her rosy cheeks. "Oh Evie come now don't cry, it's going to ok." I wiped her tears and pull her into a hug.

"Now let's clean this mess up before that stupid man comes back." I gentle spoke, pushing her to the mess.

After many hours of lifting shelves and putting hundreds of books back to where they belong, we finally finished cleaning up the library part, time to go home. "Thank the Gods we're done my back is killing me. A good back rub is needed for us if I say so." I grumble whilst rub my lower back.

"Yes I do agree with you Katherine. Unfortunately we have to find our wretched excuse of a brother seeing as he is lounging around the museum somewhere." Evie stands looking around.

I swear one day we won't have a brother, next time I see him I'm going to ring his neck. I was standing there in my own thought when my daydreaming was interrupted by a noise. It sound like something fell. Evie and I looked at each other and started to walk towards the backroom gallery where all of the extra statues and other what-not were placed.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" I called out; there was a shuffle of feet going across the galley.

"Abdul? Mohammad?" Evie softly called out into the poor lighted room. She had my arm in a grip lock and was clutching a torch. "Bob?"

My head snapped towards her with a look of 'your bloody nuts' on my face. We both stopped and look around to see what was making the noise. Suddenly there was a thumping noise to the left of them. Slowly both Evie and Katharine walked towards an open sarcophagus and peer in.

"Ahhhhhh!" a desolate scream priced the room as the mummified body shoot up. Katherine and Evie jumped back in fright and scream their hearts out.

"Oh my Gods! What the fuck!" Katharine swears she patted her chest trying to calm her heartbeat.

A familiar laugh echoed the area around them as their older brother Jonathan sat up from the sarcophagus. The drunken fool was lying in the sarcophagus waiting to scare the wits out of them.

"You…you." Evie sputtered, she tried to speak but she was gasping for sweet air at the moment.

So instead Katharine helped her finish her sentence, "You fucking bitch, you scared the shit out of us!"

Evie got control of her air flow a slap Jonathan on the face, "Get out of there! Have you no respect for the death?"

"Right now, I would rather like to join now." Jonathan said with his arm wrapped around the mummified body.

"Well then I would rather you join them sooner than later. Get out before you ruin our careers, the same way you ruined yours, fool." Katharine sneered. She grabs an arm of Jonathan and helped Evie drag him of the ancient tomb.

"My darling sweet baby sisters, I'll have both of you know, that at this ever moment my career is on a high note." He drunkenly stumbled out the tomb sputter his ghastly breath in their faces.

"Please, a high note. You have done nothing but run around Egypt and you coming back with nothing to show for your so called career." Katharine laughed there was no way that her lazy excuse of a brother actually have anything.

Jonathan grinned largely, "Oh but I do KC. Hold on its right here." He searched around his jacket and pants pocket looking for whatever he picked up from the adventure.

I gave Evie a look, as if he has something, "Jonathan if I have to take one more piece of junk to the Curator to try and sell for you." Evie droned moving her head side to side.

Her head stop and stared at the mystery box that Jonathan put in front of her face, Jonathan what is that? Where did you get that?"

Katharine couldn't believe her eyes her brother actually found something that might be worth something. Jonathan grinned at his sisters, "I found on a dig down in….down in Thebes. Please tell its worth something Evie. All my life I've never found anything like this. Please tell I found something."

"Jonathan I think you actually found something." Katharine and Evie whisper in disbelief together.
