Tears, this is the last chapter. Thank you everyone for reading and following along. Your reviews made me happy. Thank you everyone for being with the story this long. There will be a sequel.

We quickly made our way into the city. But when we came upon an entrance to a chamber it was blocked. Immediately, we start to move the rocks. I ignored Rick's saying that I shouldn't be helping. Only Rick, Ardeth, and I were moving the rocks. Jonathan was shouting instructions at us.

"I'd take those bigger stones first. Take them from the top, otherwise the whole thing will cave in on us. Come on. Put your backs into it." We all stopped to turn to look at him, "Yes, well, you've got the idea. Chop-chop."

"Jonathan, now I not the time." the three of us went back to working and Jonathan wondered off.

"I say! Gents, you should come and have a look at this." He said before he started screaming a moment later. We turned to see Jonathan freaking out. "It's in my arm!" he shouted.

Rick went closer to him and ripped Jonathan's shirt. "Whoa," it looked like a bug was under his skin. "Hold him," Rick said to Ardeth. I wasn't going to get anywhere near him. Rick grabbed his arm and stuck his knife in his skin. Rick ripped the bug from his shoulder. It flew over to the other side of the room. Rick shot it as it came closer.

"The scarabs aren't dead?" I asked. I shook my head and rose up my hands. "I am not going near any walls."

We went back to the rocks and started moving them out the way again. When we were almost done I felt a cold feeling wash over me. I shuddered and glanced around the room. No breeze could get inside so why did I feel like that.

"Please tell me someone else felt that?" I said to them still looking behind me.

Ardeth and Jonathan shook their heads as Rick said, "Nothing's down here, but us."

"I know that. Whatever this was, it was something different." I whispered gaining their attention.

"What did it feel like?" Ardeth asked in his accent.

I looked to them and then to the opening of the new passage way, "Like death."

I walked behind Rick as we made it through the wall. He threw down the torch then jumped. He turned and lifted me from the whole in the wall. Next to follow was Ardeth then Jonathan came last. The only thing we could see was a mirror with light reflecting off of it. Rick shot it causing the mirror to spin.

The light flew throughout the room. Gold. Everywhere in the room was covered with gold. I could practically hear what Jonathan was thinking. We walked down the steps getting closer to the gold. It was breath taking. I even wanted to laugh at the scene. Instead I smiled at Jonathan words and Rick knowing what he was going to say. Before I could cut in we heard an inhuman scream. They turned to the source while Rick pulled me behind. Mummies started popping out from the ground.

"Who the hell are these guys?" Rick asked.

"Priest. Imhotep's priest." He replied.

"All right then." I couldn't shoot at them since Rick was blocking my way.

I started backing up once they got too close and Jonathan ran out of ammo. There were too many of them. We turned and made a run for it. The priests were still following us. I pulled out one of my guns and began shooting at them. As Rick and Ardeth started shooting I turned and ran ahead turning a corner with Jonathan. The statue came into view and I grew happy.

"There he is! Hello, Horus, old boy." I jogging from behind Jonathan looking for the book's hiding place.

Looking back, Rick lit up a stick of dynamite and threw it at the mummies. "Time to close the door." He reached for me and pushed me behind the statue. I covered my head as it blew up.

I quickly got up as the smoke cleared. I reloaded my gun and looked around the room.

"Under his feet," Jonathan murmured as he and Rick crouched down by the stone. I watched as they tried to slide the rock away. My hands were shaking in anticipation.

Ardeth was reloading his gun when the noises of more mummies were coming our way. We all looked up to see them coming down another hall. "These guys just don't quit, do they?

"Keep digging," Ardeth commanded while going towards the hall. I was going to watch his back in case anything happen.

Jonathan took a small chest out of the bottom. He opened it with Rick's helps. I almost jumped in joy at seeing the gold book that was going to end it all. "The Book of Amun-Ra." I whispered. Just then Ardeth was shooting when the gun was out of bullets. I lifted up both of my guns and took fire. He looked back at the three of us, "Save the girl. Kill the creature." Ardeth shouted as he ran head on for the mummies. I was too stunned at the act to even move. Someone grabbed my arm and pushed me back. Rick lit dynamite and moved us over to hollow out space. "What are you waiting for?"

I held onto Jonathan's arm and he covered me when the dynamite blew up into another space. "You both all right? Let's go." We rush to get up and out of the room. as we ran down the hall Rick stopped us for a moment, "You and Jonathan need to distract him while I go help Evy."

"No," I said sending him a glare, "We stick together. Jonathan can handle it by himself. Imhotep probably has something guarding her if he leaves her side."

Rick, although reluctant, nodded his head, "Okay." He got ahold of my hand and we went in one direction while Jonathan ran off to bring the mummy far away.

I slowly walked towards a statue with a staff. It made me think back to when my father taught me how to fight. This was my favorite one to work with. Even after everything I still practiced with it just in case those men ever came back for me. I took the wooden staff from the statue. Rick was doing the same with a sword.

Watching Jonathan one we both inch closer to Evy. Rick suddenly charged and hit Evy chains. I run from out of dark and began hitting the mummies. I whipped the staff around knocking the heads off of their bodies. I could see Rick going at them. I was truly impressed.

Two of them came up behind me. I spun around with the mummy still clinging to me and swung at the other one. I lifted the staff and stabbed the mummy over the head. I moved the body from me. "Mummies," Rick said before one grabbed him by the foot.

I ran over to him and decapitated the one by his legs when another one came charging and knocked me over further from Rick. A mummy lifted a stone above his head about smash him when Rick reached his sword and slashed its legs. Rick got up and helped Evy with her chains as I 'killed' the last one. I ran over and checked Evy to make sure she was alright.

A pair of doors opened in the room and stronger looking mummies came out with shields and weapons. They marched in our direction making me freeze. "Oh, yeah. This just keeps gettin' better and better."

"Damn right it is." I said holding up the staff.

"Oh, do something, Jonathan." Evy hurriedly says.

Jonathan asked stupidly, "Me?"

"You can command them." I watched the mummies come closer and I gripped the staff waiting for the first one.

"You have got to be joking."

"Finish the inscription on the cover, idiot. Then you can control them."

"Oh, right," Jonathan left from our view.

We kept backing up until one of them screeched from behind us and started to attack Evy. I was about to swing at it when Imhotep commanded them to kill us. They jumped over the murky liquid and onto the table.

Rick then screams at them as if they were going to run and hide. I actually rolled my eyes at the moment. And they screamed back. Louder and mouths wider. "Uh-uh." He shook his head and ran, but I ran in another direction. Half of them followed me. I brought up my staff and launched it into the face of the closest one. I ran up the stairs in another room. Two of them came charging at me. I turned and climbed up the wall and flipped behind them. I twirled the staff and fought one. I took off the arms then the head. I didn't pay much attention to the other run.

The mummy kicked me and I flew out the room, "Have your mother ever told you about hitting girls." I jumped up and it swung the sword at me, but I ducked and hit its legs. It fell down and I pushed the staff into its head. Not waiting, I ran down the stairs to where I saw Rick at. The mummies were going to kill him when they stopped. They lifted the sword from his face.

Imhotep tried to control them, but it was too late. They turned from him. Jonathan said something to make them attack someone else. I ran down the stairs and towards Rick. "Are you okay?" he nodded and got up.

"Yeah, come on." I picked up my staff and ran behind him to where Imhotep was holding Jonathan. Rick swung and cut off his arm. He picked up Rick and threw him past me. He smirked down at me and threw me to the wall behind him. My head hit the wall. I watch as he lifts Rick up again and threw him into a pillar. I ball up my fits, now angry. I jumped up and picked up my staff.

I fast paced to the mummy before he could jump over the table to Rick. I shove the staff into the dead man's chest. It didn't affect him. "I've had just about enough of your nonsense." I yanked out the staff before he turned towards me. I backed away in time so he couldn't grab me.

He started to speak in ancient Egyptian, but I understand every word, "I always though you weak. Before and now." I narrowed my eyes as I felt that hidden frustration. It was like someone was trying to get out. I hit him in the face with the staff. I spat his words back at him, "And deserved to die along with that whore of yours!"

I didn't react fast enough he grabbed me by the throat and slammed me on the ground. He then went back to Rick and grabbed him around the throat. I was to dizzy to even move. That many hits to the head will do that.

"Kadeesh mal. Kadeesh mal. Pared oos. Pared oos." Evy said making me looked towards the dead man.

In a blue fog, a chariot of horses came down the stairs. He threw Rick down and I crawled over to him. I don't know what it did to him, but Imhotep follows it in a hurry. I clutch Rick's arm and we back up towards Evy and Jonathan. I jumped over to Evy and stayed close to them.

"I thought you said it was gonna kill him!" he shouted. Imhotep made his way over, furious. He walked right into the sword Rick held.

"He's mortal." He backed up until he stops by the murky water. His skin was rotting before us, before he was awoken. The shape of faces surrounded him as he spoke. I glared at the scene. "Death is only the beginning." I sucked in a breath and just watched.

A noise is the walls made us move. The walls were coming down. "Time to go." Rick grasped my hand and yanked me behind him with Evy and Jon following us. We ran on a bridge to where Jonathan dropped the book and Evy went back towards it. I only stopped for a moment as they went to grabbed her.

We ran down the hall and under a closing door. We were back in the gold room. Jonathan stayed back for a moment. I went and grabbed him, "Couldn't we just-" We shouted, "No." and kept going.

I ran under the door first, then Evy and Jonathan. The skinny man called out his name. I knew it was too late. "Good bye Beni."

Outside we had to dodge the falling pillars and ran across the collapsing ground. The camels were ahead of us as we made it down the slope. Behind us the entire city fell. It went into the ground causing clouds of dust to rise into the sky.

I looked at the city happy that this adventure was over I don't think I could handle anymore. Suddenly Jonathan shouted. I quickly turned and saw Ardeth on the horse. "You've earned the respect and gratitude of me and my people."

"Yes, well, it was nothing." Jonathan said making hand gestures.

I walked forward, "We thank you for your help even though it was our fault." I glanced at Evy. I bowed my head down in respect.

"May Allah smile upon you always." He replied.

"And… yourself." Jonathan said. "Yes, anytime."

"Stay out of trouble." I laughed and took my place beside my husband.

"He's just... leaving us here. Well, l guess we go home empty-handed... again."

Rick looked down at me, "I wouldn't say that." I smiled and leaned up. His lips crashed down on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer. I felt the fire ignite within me. It's been four years since I've been able to do this. I almost cried missing his touch. He leaned back, "I love you Mrs. O'Connell."

"And I love you Mr. O'Connell." I smile and leaned back. "Shall we be on our way?"

He nodded his head with a grin and brought me over to a camel. The animal leaned down I got on first then Rick. Jonathan and Evy had their own. I was the happiest I have ever been in years. I hugged Rick towards me ignoring the sun. It was our time to start our life.
