"Calm down and just…relax." Imhotep whispered walking slowly towards her.

Kaylee stumbled backwards, "No, what have you done to me?" She was so busy looking around and panicking she didn't hear Imhotep come up behind her. He grabbed her and dragged her, kicking and fighting to her bed. He pushed her down and quickly covered her with his warm body. "Get off me!" She hissed.

"What can you remember?" Imhotep demanded.

"I remember you're gonna get your ass kicked if you don't get off me!" Kaylee screamed. "You wait until my friends rescue me and Alex. Then I'll be rid of you forever!"

"What friends?" Imhotep whispered into her ear before having to avoid Kaylee's snapping teeth.

"Am…" Kaylee said slowly. Then shook her head. "Nayl…I-I can't remember. What have you done?"

"What is your name?" Imhotep grabbed her wrists to still her.

"Khepri," Kaylee snapped and stopped. "No, my name is...I don't remember what I was going to say but it's not Khepri!" Kaylee said hopelessly.

"Very good and where are you?" Imhotep continued to hold her wrists.

"I'm…in my bedroom chamber." Kaylee said softly. She looked around wearily at everything. The rain pouring past her huge balcony, her indoor pond with two silver coy fish, and finally at Imhotep who was slowly releasing her grip.

"Who am I?" He asked gently.

Kaylee blushed and sat up. She stared at Imhotep for a moment and then cuddled up into his arms. She kisses his collar bone and rests a hand on his neck. "Imhotep, I've missed you so much."

"Khepri," He whispered in a shaky voice. "I've missed you even more."

With Khepri's soul temporarily possessing Kaylee's body, she whispered. "I waited for you."

"I know, I came for you, but it was too late." Imhotep kissed her head. "I'm so sorry. But now I have you now and nothing…" Imhotep started.

"Imhotep," Khepri whispered. "You cannot bring my soul back permanently. The god's have cursed my soul."

"Cursed, why?" Imhotep snapped. "They can't do this. You've done nothing wrong."

"I haven't," Khepri said softly. "You have. You have the traitor's heart and must liberate your sin to the soul you have cursed to the underworld. Only then can we be together forever."

Imhotep stared at her, "I don't understand."

"Don't be foolish Imhotep; you know what you've done. You sent an innocent person to their death. You know what you must do and until you do my soul stays in the underworld."

Imhotep frowned, "I understand. I still want to show how much I care."

Khepri nodded. "You may, but without my soul to help you."

"Oh come on, your reincarnation is so difficult." Imhotep complained. "For a reincarnation of you…she's rather mean."

Khepri smiled, "You thought I'd make it easy for you? Besides, you pushed too much on her at once and expected results that may or may not happen."

Imhotep grinned, "Can't blame me for trying."

"Fine, but I'm not going to be responsible for her feelings, even if you still drive me crazy." Khepri smiled and leaned into kiss him. "Do what's right and weed out the lies from the truth." She kissed him gently. "Good luck with this one, she's a fighter." And with that Kaylee's body went limp in his arms.

"Kaylee, can you hear me?" Imhotep whispered.

Kaylee groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "I hate you."

"Welcome back."

Kaylee pushed herself out of his arms and onto her stomach. "Nice bed." Kaylee hummed while closing her eyes.

"Are you alright?" Imhotep scooted closer.

"Super, my soul was placed on hold in the underworld while you two had your little conversation. Oh, before I forget, they gave me a message to give you."

Imhotep thought it might be more on his new mission, "What was it?"

Kaylee rolled onto her back and flipped him off, "You're an ass."

Imhotep frowned, "See this is why I miss talking to Khepri."

"Why, was she nicer when you cursed her soul to an internal damnation?" Imhotep stared at her. "You didn't think we wouldn't exchange a few words when I was on my way back. Now, I'm supposed to help you find this girl whose soul you fucked over."

"It would be nice."

"Well," Kaylee said rolling back onto her stomach, "I don't see what's in it for me."

"What are you talking about? I'll be able to being Khepri's soul back for good."

"My point exactly," Kaylee snapped at him sitting up again. "You don't really care about me. You just want Khepri back."

"That's not what that means and of course I care about you." Imhotep said.

"Right, I'm still not seeing what's in it for me." Kaylee said turning her back to him.

"Why are you so difficult?" Imhotep snapped.

"Why don't you get over this?" Kaylee snapped right back. She turned to face him and it scared the crap out of Imhotep. He had never seen her so mad. She stormed over and pointed a finger at him. "You are totally obsessed with me and I don't think I want to play this little history game anymore."

He stood up and pushed her backwards a little bit. "I loved Khepri with every fiber of my being. You on the other hand have never experienced love that great before."

"Excuse me!"

"You're nothing like Khepri. You don't have a compassionate bone in your body. You can't take things seriously and I'm sure your friends think you a joke. You're just a silly…girl!" He snapped. Kaylee froze, realizing she was right. This had been a cruel joke, a joke to get a life back she didn't even want. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." He whispered.

She backed away from him quickly, "No you're not. Get her soul back another way, because I refuse to help you anymore."

"Please," Imhotep said gently. "Can we talk about this?"

"What's there to talk about? All I am is a ticket to getting Khepri back."

"No, I didn't mean what I said…"

"I think you meant every word of it." Kaylee said.

"No," Imhotep said gently.

"Prove it." Kaylee said looking up.

Imhotep looked at her curiously. "Prove what?"

"Prove that you love me and not just the fact I have Khepri's body." Kaylee said walking up to him. Imhotep stared at her and placed a hand on her neck. Kaylee blinked and was blinded by tears. "Prove to me that these feelings I have for you aren't just a cover-up."

He pulled her close and covered her lips with his. She wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss. Not about to let her go, he felt his body rise and lift her with him. He found the bed and laid her across the sheets. He could not let this go. It was the first time in his life that he was blinded by such happiness, Finding her lips again, the light behind his eyes was so brilliant he thought he had left his body and was in heaven. That was when he felt his whole body begin to burn there was an energy coming to surface that was so strong it felt like an electric charge. The energy was binding them together, weaving a way through her that was connecting their souls and making them one.
