RainDancin: I'm glad to see that you like it. It makes me happy to know that anyone enjoy what I write. Thank you.
"Last but not least...my favorite plague- boils and sores." Jonathan said making me wrinkle up my nose. The people's faces were covered with them. It was not a pretty sight.
"So it has begun the beginning of the end." Ardeth said in that same tone of voice.
Seeing all of the men coming our way made me grab Rick's hand. "Evelyn, it's time to find that book don't you think?"
"Come on," she said and turned around. I followed right behind her as did the others. We went over to the hieroglyphic covered stone. Evy began to read from the top and Mr. Bey from the bottom. I didn't read it like Evy could so I was no help. I turned around to make sure no one would sneak up on us. They already began to bang on the doors.
"According to Bembridge scholars, the golden Book of Amun-Ra... is located inside the statue of Anubis." Evy said still reading.
"That's where we found the black book." Daniels said.
"Exactly."
"Looks like the old boys at Bembridge were mistaken." Jonathan said making me turn around realizing what happened to the books.
Evy starts to ramble while she reads, "Mixed up where they were buried. So if the black book is inside the statue of Anubis... then the golden book must be inside—" She didn't finish. The doors flew open from downstairs and the men began running in the building. I looked over the balcony curing under my breath.
"Come on Evy, faster." Jonathan said making me roll my eyes even in a situation like this.
"Patience is a virtue." She sung the words out.
Rick turned around skeptical. "Not right now it isn't."
Jonathan started backing away, "Uh, l think I'll go and get the car started." He ran the other way to get out of the museum.
"l've got it. The golden Book of Amun-Ra is at Hamunaptra inside the statue of Horus. Take that, Bembridge scholars." She said happily.
"Good, now let's go!" The men were getting close now. Daniels took off as soon as she said it. I grabbed Evy's arm and ran before the other men.
Outside we rounded a corner and the men were headed in another direction. We all ran to the car and started to pack ourselves in it. I let Evy sit in the front between Rick and Jonathan. I sat in the back in Ardeth's lap because I knew Evy wouldn't.
A man came out the building shouting, "Imhotep." I wanted to shoot him so bad in that moment. We were all in the car when the mummy appeared in the window. The scream he let out was too inhumane.
Rick was standing up in the front seat. "You're gonna get yours, Beni! You hear me? You're gonna get yours!" damn right he was.
Jonathan drove into the empty streets for five minutes until we came to a stop. Before us were the men covered in sores. Their eyes were empty, but they had a purpose to kill us. Everyone leaned in to see what was happening. Rick suddenly stepped on the gas and the car went rushing forwards.
Jonathan was running the people over, but there were too many. They were clinging to the car. I didn't want to hurt the men so I started to push them off of the car. One man grabbed my hair and tried to pull me out. I could hear Daniels screaming. I pried the man off of me and punched him in the face. I turned to Daniels and tried to reach him, but it was too late. "Shit!" I yelled out. This was bad.
You can hear the gun fire but only for a moment. When it stopped I turned to help fight knowing the man's faith.
I stood up in the back of the car struggling with a man when Jonathan ran into something. The car jerked to a stop sending water everywhere. Ardeth helped me out of the vehicle before the men can get to us. I backed away from the men and ran closer to Evelyn.
Rick stood next to me holding his torch. The men were chanting its name again making me more scared than anything. We were corner.
They ceased their words and the Imhotep walked towards us. He walked closer and closer talking in ancient Egyptian. I could understand everything again making my head spin as to what was happening.
"Come with my princess. It's time to make you mine forever." The skinny man, Beni, told Evelyn.
I stood in front of her glaring at both of them harshly. "''For all eternity,'' idiot." She said making me nudge her and whispered, "Not helping."
Imhotep then reached out his hand, "Take my hand... and l will spare your friends."
"You lie!" I spit out in Egyptian, now angry. The thing turned his head in my direction. I could see the fire in his eyes. He looked as if to kill me with his very own eyes. "Oh dear," Evy said.
"Have you got any bright ideas?" she said. I kept my eyes glued to the two men.
Rick said, "I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin'."
I finally turned seeing the look in her eye. "You better not Evy." The tone of my voice gave off the angry and worry I was feeling.
"You better come up with something then," she looked me in the eyes. "Because if he turns me into a mummy... you're the first one I'm coming after."
She walked around me and took his eyes. I was too shock to even stop her. Rick then took out his gun, "No." I wanted to whip that smug look off his ugly face.
"Don't! He has to take me to Hamunaptra to perform the ritual." She said to be reassuring, but I wasn't having any of it.
"She is right. Live today, fight tomorrow." After a moment he put his gun away.
I looked at the mummy again. What I said was not me, "When I see you again, which I will. You will beg to be sent back to the underworld." I said in his language. The smirk dropped from his face.
He turned and started walking while the other guy went towards Jonathan. I wouldn't turn my back from that monster. He shouted a command to kill us. I took out my gun. Rick kneeled to the ground and took the cover off a drain. He pulled me towards him and helps me into the drain.
Jonathan came down after me, then Ardeth, and Rick. After that the last light was gone. "Please tell me someone has a match." I say breaking the silence. I kneeled to look for a stick or something.
"I have a lighter." Jonathan says and a small fire appears in front of his face.
Ardeth has a torch in his hand. "May I borrow that?" I asked him and take it from his hand. I put it in the fire to get some more light. As it gets bigger I turn to Rick. "Now we have some light." I hand it to him. "What now?" I asked him.
He looks at me for a moment. "I know someone who can get us there. Right now we need to get out of here."
"Good, it smells down here." Jonathan says shaking out his jacket.
After that we walk in another direction to get out. Rick and I were in the lead followed by Jonathan then Ardeth. We walked in silence for some time. "What was that back there?" he asked almost making me jump.
I sighed and shook my head. "I have no idea. It was like I was someone else."
He nodded his head, "I never knew you can speak that good. What did you tell him?"
"I didn't know I could either. But I told him when I see him again he will beg to go back to the underworld."
