Italics mean October is talking

Bold and Italic mean Keket is talking to October in her mind


October was shocked with what had happened. Of course she didn't even know what happened. One minute she was laying down for a nap then when she wakes up someone else is in her body. It felt like October was watching a movie. She saw what was happening, but she couldn't control what was going on.

"I'm sure you're curious about what just happened." October saw herself talking, but it wasn't her. She couldn't control anything her body did.

"My name is Keket and I was once the greatest thief Egypt ever knew. Of course my stupid plan of trying to steal from the palace got me killed along with some other things. Luckily I was trained in the dark arts and I put my spirit into a necklace before I died. It took me awhile, but I was finally strong enough to posses your body."

What do you plan to do now?

"I don't know. I shall explore this world. I'm sure much has changed. Maybe I'll pick up where I left off."

I won't let you.

Keket laughed. "You can't stop me. Within a few days my full powers will return and you will be nothing but a memory."

Keket examined herself in the mirror. Her hand swept across her eye where there was no scar.

"This will get some getting used to, but I think I'm going to like your body. I might have to cut your hair. It's too long."

No way are you doing anything to my body!

"Hey October, we're leaving." Rebecca said as she walked into the room.

Keket didn't answer. She just continued looking at herself in the mirror.

"October? Hey October!"

Keket looked at Rebecca. "Oh right, that's me."

"Are you all right?"

"Of course I am."

It's not me Rebecca. October tried to scream at her sister, but Rebecca couldn't hear her.

"Are you coming?"

"Where are we going?"

"The museum."

"Why are we going there?"

"I thought you would want to go. Don't you want to see Ahkmenrah?"

"Ahkmenrah?" Keket smirked. "Of course I want to see him. Let's go."

So Ahkmenrah is alive? I thought he would be long gone by now.

You know Ahkmenrah?

We have a history together.

What kind of history?

Is that jealousy I hear? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Keket wasn't sure how Ahkmenrah was alive, but now she was going to find out. It had been centuries since she last saw him. Of course the last time she saw him she was sentenced to death. She wondered how he was doing and if he had changed.

On the way to the museum Keket was amazed by the world around her. She tried to not let it show since if she did the others would suspect something's wrong. Much had changed from the time she was alive.

When they got to the museum Keket didn't see anything special about it. She tried asking October how Ahkmenrah was alive, but October refused. After a few minutes Keket saw the whole museum come to life. She was beginning to like this new world.

She looked around seeing if she could spot Ahkmenrah. She wasn't about to go looking for him since she didn't know her way around. She would get lost.

"Hello October."

Oh yeah that's me. What kind of name is October?

What kind of name is Keket?

Keket didn't answer. Instead she turned around and smiled when she saw the young Pharaoh. He had grown up since the last time she saw him, but she knew it was him.

You better call him king or he'll get mad.

"King Ahkmenrah, hello."

Ahkmenrah looked at her with a confused expression. "Why did you call me king?"

"I thought you liked to be called king?"

"You never have before."

Keket cursed and if October could smirk she would be. Ahkmenrah should know something's not right. He has to.

"Oh well, I thought I'd just try something new."

Ahkmenrah continued to stare at her with confusion. October was acting weird. She had never called him king before.

"Let's go to your room."

"Um all right."

On the way there Ahkmenrah wondered what was wrong with October. She was acting like the museum was a new thing to her. Whenever he asked if she was ok she would reply she never felt better. When they got to the tomb Keket looked around with amazement. Then her eyes landed on the tablet.

It's the tablet.

You better not be thinking about stealing it.

So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?

Keket walked closer to the table. October didn't want Keket to steal it. Then Ahkmenrah and the others wouldn't come alive any more. She couldn't stand it if she could never see Ahkmenrah again. October tried with all her might to stop Keket.

Keket stopped walking as October was taking over her body.

"Ahkmenrah, help me." October said.

Keket quickly pushed October back and took over her body again.

"What was that?" Ahkmenrah asked.

Keket looked at him and smiled. "Nothing."

You will not get away with this.

I think I already am. And in a few days you'll be so weak you won't be able to take control like that again.

"October, you've been quiet almost the whole night. Are you sure you're all right?"

"Of course I am."

Ahkmenrah knew something was wrong with her he just didn't know what. When October wondered around the museum the Pharaoh asked Rebecca if she knew what was wrong with October, but Rebecca said she didn't know. She didn't even know something was wrong.

"Keep an eye on her." Ahkmenrah said before he left.

When Ahkmenrah got back to his tomb he saw October looking at the tablet very closely. He looked up at his jackals and saw they were watching her.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he walked up to October.

Keket spun around. "Oh I was just looking at the tablet. It's very interesting."

"Yes it is." He looked at her with suspicion. "Well, it's almost sunrise so I'll see you tonight."

"Ok."

Ahkmenrah got in his sarcophagus as Keket left. Now she really can finish what she started. This was working out better then she planned. The Pharaoh and the tablet were in one place. How much luckier could she get?
