A Past Love Returns
Disclaimer - None of it's mine! Or is it….checks papers of ownership to see they say something about how it IS NOT the property of Ven Valerius and it IS the property of JK and whoever really . Okay, so maybe it isn't mine… but most of the plot is.
Standard AN : This is where the actual slash comes in. I apologize if I have disappointed anyone for how the last one ended. But this isn't ten years later….more like 15 I liked the character of Alex O'Connell but didn't like the third Mummy Movie - Hands up…. who liked it? Anyway, Harry is officially Immortal. So when Imhotep was reincarnated, the Gods gave his reincarnation the immortality.
Personal AN:
Chapter Three
Continuing…..
Harry turned to Evy, "Yeah, Evy, what are we doing?"
"Ever since I had that dream, this place is all I can think about." she said as she stepped into the room.
Harry and Isaac turned to Rick for confirmation - who nodded and added, "Yeah, and ever since you had that dream I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep."
"I feel like I've been here before…I know I've been here before." she said as she walked over to the corner of the room with her torch and waited for the others to come in while Harry simply shook his head and made a shoo-ing motion with his hands at Isaac.
"Evy, no one's been here before, not for three thousand years. Except for these guys." Rick said, slightly confused. He still didn't exactly believe in Harry's "past life" - even if it was hard not to.
"Then how do I seem to know exactly where I'm going?" she asked as she pulled a lever and a door opened with a clang and the sound of gears moving. Meanwhile, Harry and Isaac exchanged knowing looks.
They followed her into a hall with a locked door on the other side.
Isaac recognized it, just as Harry did. This place was no ordinary tomb - this was the resting place of the bracelet of Anubis.
Evy went into a trance for a moment and the two lovers stood off to the side as Evy opened the door via her past memory.
"Why do I get the feeling that she's going to do something that will cause something to happen that we do not wish to happen?" Isaac asked Harry in Ancient Egyptian.
Harry looked at her, "Knowing my cousin, she will."
Yeah, they found the Bracelet of Anubis.
Harry turned to look in and felt something hit the back of his head before he passed out.
"Harry!" Isaac called out as he caught his lover and the bandit ran off when Isaac threw a knife at him.
Evy stopped herself from trying to open the chest as she looked back to find her cousin on the ground unconscious with his head in Isaac's lap. "What happened?"
"A bandit, after the bracelet. Too many people know." Isaac said as he Enervated his lover and Harry's eyes opened.
"What happened?"
"Are you alright? You were hit pretty hard."
"Yeah…what `appen?" he asked, still a little more that slightly dizzy as he gazed into his lover's eyes - his own were still unfocused.
"Bandit after the bracelet, I guess."
Harry closed his eyes, "Tell Evy to get the bloody bracelet and you can carry me out." he said in a low whisper so that Isaac barely heard him.
Isaac looked at him, concerned, "You are feeling that bad?"
Harry nodded subtly and then closed his eyes.
Isaac turned to Evy, "Get the damn bracelet."
Evy nodded and she and Rick went back into the room while Isaac struggled to keep Harry awake, saying things in Ancient Egyptian that she couldn't understand on account of how quietly they were talking.
Then Harry fell unconscious.
"Harry? Harry? Please, please love, wake up." Isaac begged as he lifted his lover into his arms.
It was then that Evy activated the booby trap.
"Haru!" Isaac yelled before he held out a hand and made the water go around them. Not something a mere wizard would be able to do, but something a High Priest would be able to do in his sleep.
Rick and Evy coughed up water as they got inside the sphere where Isaac had fresh air. It was then that Isaac found the water level lowering so he deactivated the sphere just in time for them to be swept away and out into the main temple area where Alex O'Connell had a sheepish look on his face. "Mum, Dad, I can explain everything."
At least he did before he noticed that Harry was unconscious and then it was replaced by a look of worry.
"Uncle Harry!" Alex said as Harry awoke, coughing.
"I hate robbers." he muttered as he opened his eyes and drew his lover down for a passionate kiss.
"Get a room!" Alex complained.
The two lovers laughed, it was getting to be a tradition that Alex would complain. In a few years they would be able to respond with a certain comment that Evy would not be hearing coming from them.
Harry groaned as he stood up and Isaac carefully stood near to provide any support that his Haru would need. He then frowned, "Did the robber get the bracelet?"
Rick shook his head, "I don't think so, but we're going to have to be careful."
Harry grinned, "Come on, we can get to Karnak. The lot of you are welcome to stay for the next few days." he said not knowing that Mr. Hafez would be taking Imhotep's body to London or that Imhotep would awake to discover that the O'Connell family weren't even in England to begin with.
Poor idiotic, twice-cursed Priest and his dumb henchmen.
Harry sighed as he sat down next to Isaac on the couch in his home that was reminiscent of his apartments in the Theban Palace of the Ancient World. His living room had a thick and soft grass rug over the thick wooden floors and the small fire pit that was in the center of the room which was filled with bluebell flames and putting off a comforting warmth.
Isaac immediately wrapped an arm around his shoulders as a form of comfort for his lover. "You're worried, aren't you?"
Harry nodded into his lover's hold, "I think they're going to resurrect Imhotep."
"How? We have both books."
"There are copies of the ancient spells within countless tombs. I know for a fact that Imhotep put copies of certain spells inside his former sarcophagus."
"They destroyed the markings."
"Imhotep was afraid that someone would kill him if they found out that not only was Haru his lover but that he intended his nephew or brother to gain the throne once he died..."
"Marrying to ensure peace."
"And to never have children, he wanted a way for Haru to-"
"Be able to return him to life should he die before his time." he finished as he hugged Harry. "Harry, perhaps we should go to Cairo for a while? Enjoy ourselves for once? See an Opera?"
"An opera?" he said skeptically as he stretched out on the couch and lay his head on Isaac's lap.
Isaac nodded, "It'd be calming, you know just like old times."
Harry frowned, "I dunno, I mean what if-"
Isaac began carding his fingers through Harry's hair and with his other hand began to lightly tease his face, running his fingertips over Harry's lips that sent a jolt of electricity through him.
"I hate you."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to go to Cairo and if you continue I could just about agree to anything." he said as he closed his eyes blissfully.
Isaac grinned, "Well, will you come with me?"
Harry groaned as Isaac stopped his ministrations, "If you want to live through the night I suggest that you continue with what you are doing."
"Will you?"
Harry groaned, "Keep. Going."
"Not until you say if you are going to come with me." Isaac said as he wiggled his fingers in front of Harry's eyes.
Harry glared.
"Say it."
"No. Keep going if you value your life." He groaned.
Isaac grinned, GRINNED.
Harry groaned and sat up and stalked across the room before pain hit his head and he fell to his knees.
"Harry?" Isaac exclaimed as he stood up and ran over to him where Harry was curled up on the floor with his head in his hands. "Harry!"
NOTE FROM VV _ OK, my next chapter is nearly (as in less than a page) from completion. Hopefully, these chapters will get longer. I hate not being able to give you more but ... I hate cars. Enough said.
