I had to make a short chapter to see how I wanted to write the rest of the story. But please review, fav, or follow.
As soon as I was far from the entrance, I had to calm down from the sudden pain in my head. It felt more like a mental pain as if someone was being hurt. Ignoring it, I started to search for my companions. It was hard since the halls were dark with no light to guide me. I was walking down a hall when I heard muffled yells. It sounded like a man was struggling. Too scared to be alone, I ran down a hall where the noise was.
At the end I could see a man standing in the middle of a hallway. I walked towards him, but something made me silent. As if he felt me near him, Mr. Burns turned around. I could not even scream from the sight before me. His eyes were missing and he couldn't talk.
Just then a growl sounded behind me. I twisted around and saw it, the mummy that we dug up. "You!" I shouted for unknown purposes. My mind was being scrambled by what was happening. The mummy approached me and I stood my ground mostly out of fear and anger.
The mummy started to talk, while tried. But I heard it as clear as day. "Aziza." A hint of fear was in the mummy's voice, but the look was of hatred. The monster then lets out a roar like no other and hits me into a wall with sand and onto the ground in the shadows.
He left me dazed as he heard another noise like the wall moving. Someone started talking a moment later. The only other woman here was Evy. I looked up to see the mummy walking towards her. When it talked, he called her something as he reached out for her. Shaking off the hit I get up and call out for her. "Evy!" I run around him and jump in front of Evy with a new found instinct. The mummy was going to hit me again when someone came our way.
"There you two are! Will you quit playing hide-and-seek? Come on. Let's get out of here. He says and runs up to us. He then sees the mummy when he saw Evy's eyes transfixed on it. He lets out a disbelief yell, "Whoa!"
"Evy!" Jonathan comes in with Henderson and Daniels. "Aziza!" he comes to a halt seeing the undead man. The mummy yells at him and Rick just returns the favor. All I could do was roll my eyes even in this situation.
He lifts up his gun and shot the mummy. He grabs my arm and I grab Evy's. The others follow us as Jonathan repeats that it was walking. Before we turned a corner I looked back to see that it got up from the ground.
As swiftly as we could everyone made it out of there. However, we had other problems to deal with. Outside we came to a stop by the clicking of guns. The men in the black robes had their weapons pointed at us.
The leader came forward, "l told you to leave or die. You refused. Now you may have killed us all... for you have unleashed a creature we have feared for more than 3,000 years."
"Relax, I got him." Rick replied.
"No mortal weapon can kill this creature. He's not of this world."
"No shit." I say and they look at me. "Well, I've been telling everyone, but no I'm just some woman who needs to be ignored."
Two of his men came from behind the others and had Mr. Burns. They brought him over to his American friends. I shut my eyes and mumbled to myself. I was now angrier than anything. The man proceeds to walk past us with his mean when Rick told him he got the mummy.
"Know this. This creature is the bringer of death. He will never eat, he will never sleep... and he will never stop." The man said before he turned and left to search for the mummy.
I shook my head at him, "Rick that thing back there, got up when we were running. What the man say is true. Let's just hope that it stays a mummy."
Without looking at anyone I quickly made my way over to our stuff. I packed all that I had while the others followed my lead. All of us had everything and ready to go within ten minutes while leaving some things. I hop on my camel and take off after Rick.
Back in the city the skies were dark and stormy. We all made it back to where we living. Evelyn and I walked upstairs where our rooms were located across from each other. She went to hers while I went in mine. I didn't notice Rick followed me until my door opened and closed again.
He walked past me saying, "It's time for us to go. You're friend insists on us staying." He found my suitcase on the floor of the closet and sat it on my table.
"And she's right." I walked over to him where he started packing my stuff. "We cannot leave things like this."
"She's the one who read from the book when we both told her not to. This is her problem." He took the clothes out of my dresser and dumped them in my bag. I wasn't going anywhere until after we fixed this.
"It's everyone's problem. Do you think he will stay in Egypt? No, he'll going around the world Rick. We have to stop this." I took a step between the suitcase and him.
"Yeah? How? You heard the man- no mortal weapons can kill this guy." He stopped and watched me as I talked.
"Something, Rick. If he can be brought to life by a book maybe we can undo it with another." I put my hand on his chest and stared at him intensely. "Please stay and help us fix this, I know she can do it."
He shook his head and backed away from me. "I'll be downstairs when you come back to your senses, Azzy." With that he walked out of the room.
Sighing, I finished packing my bag. As soon as Evy found a way to stop the mummy I was out of here. It was just troubling to not know if Rick would join me or not.
I found a bottle of jack hidden in the dresser drawer. I took a swig as I headed to the door to find Evy and try to see what we can do about this mummy problem.
