Hey guys,
So... I know I have been a terrible writer but guess what... I GOT A B IN MY FLUTE EXAM WHICH IS THE BEST GRADE I HAVE EVER GOTTEN IN A FLUTE EXAM SO THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT! And I hope you enjoy the little visit from Jessie and Avalon in the Author's Note.
I know this is a time to rejoice but unfortunately I have yet another reason for not updating. On the 8th of June (Australia) I will be leaving for a two week camp. I have been told by the group before that wi fi is terrible but I will try my best to write and write so you guys get a good amount of reading while I am gone.
But that isn't for 20 or so days so don't worry, I may even finish the book by then.
Then you guys know what is happening after that... THE SEQUEL FOR THE THING ABOUT NIGHT TIME STUDYING!
I thought I would explore a more father like Ahkmenrah so basically forbidding her to date until she is in the tomb and all that dad stuff.
Anyway, it is nice to see you again my lovely nightguards.
Until next time
Harmony xxxx
Chapter 5: Celebrations
We started heading back to the museum. I started feeling woozy with fatigue but I 'soldiered' on to the museum, occasionally looking at Dad hopefully. He ignored my pleading expressions.
We reached the museum and Marilyn was waiting, cleaning up some of the mess. I smiled and and went up to her, slightly dizzy.
"Hey…"
"Hey, how are you?" I asked, looking down at some red marks on her arms. She smirk at them.
"I tried holding the fire, it didn't like me." We laughed. I then cleared my throat and walked back to Larry afterwards.
"Andy! Rebecca is here! With Sacagawea!" Marilyn said, pointing to our favourite guide. We ran to her, almost bumping into her.
"Rebecca! How did you-"
"Your father." She said, calm on the outside but we all knew she was internally screaming with joy. We walked with her and Sacagawea for such a long time that when we returned the sun was almost fading behind the buildings.
We cleaned up as much as possible till Rebecca snuck both myself and Marilyn through the loading dock.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow, usual Nerd Tour right?" We nodded, our heads heavy with sleep.
"You kids will be fine right?" We nodded again.
"We'll stop by Starbucks and get some coffee." We waved goodbye to Rebecca and walked towards the park. We had almost finished walking across the park when we heard the sound of someone honking their horn so loudly, my ears almost bleed.
"Stupid drivers."
"Yeah."
We started crossing the street and everything went in slow motion. I remembered Marilyn shouting my name and pushing me out of the way but she wasn't quick enough. I remembered the bone crushing feeling in my lower body and my back aching like hell. I felt like someone had light fire to my organs and bones and squashed the lower half of my body.
Marilyn's screams seemed to never leave my ears as I remembered hearing sirens. I didn't feel the need to keep my eyes open. If it was my time, the it was my time. No point in fighting fate.
I blacked out and let my head hit the cool cement.
I was dreaming. I was flying up among the clouds. I felt free and unchained. I wasn't Larry's support network or Nick's older sister or even Erica's daughter. I was free of all connections.
I flew higher and higher and soon I was in front of the golden gates of heaven. I saw at the gates a young man sitting down on a stool, reading.
"Ahkmenrah?" He looked up from his leather covered book and smiled.
"Andy!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Since it is my actual mummy in the sarcophagus, I remember everything I seen at night but I also can interchange between both the spiritual and real world. The tablet guarantees me safe passage to the afterlife but also allows me to travel back to the realm of the living."
I nodded and smiled.
"I meant why are you at these gates… aren't you meant to be in… I don't know, Egyptian heaven?" He laughed. My heart shook a little, but it felt nice. It was the same feeling I got when Nick said I was the best sister ever. Oh… Nick… how can I help him up here?
"I am here to guide you back if you wish. I can help you travel back to the realm of the living…"
"Can you?" He nodded and smiled. He held out his hand and I smirked a little.
"This is a little like a chapter from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-"
"SHUSH! I am in the middle of the Half Blood Prince! No spoilers!" He whined and I laughed. I took his hand and I felt my body melt into the clouds as I floated down and down, seeing Ahk's smiling face as I fell into a deep sleep.
