I'm so sorry it took so long, I haven't found the time to type this up until tonight.
This one is slightly longer than the others, because they added so much for the day, and you may see things that are not in the movie, but I'm following along with the script that I had found for the movie online.
Chapter 4:
Day 3:
The sun hadn't yet arise (although, it was now light) and the warden and Jonathan were already at it.
"And you snore!" My cousin exclaimed.
"I do not snore!" The warden fired back.
I sighed and rolled my eyes as I blocked them out. I pushed ahead forward as I heard my brother tell Evelyn that we were almost there.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
My brother looked down at the ground and I followed his gaze and saw a bunch of skeletons sticking up out of the ground. The bones were looked to be bleached and eaten away, from the way they were positioned, it looked as if they were trying to climb out of the desert itself. I shuttered. "Pretty sure." He said.
"What in bloody hell is this?" Jonathan asked.
"Other seekers of Humunpatra." The warden shivered.
I sighed upon seeing the 3 Americans, Beni, and an Egyptologist and about 24 native diggers all on horses with the exception of Beni, who was on a camel.
"Good Morning, my friends." Beni said.
My brother nodded and the others came to a stop while Rick and Beni just look over at the horizon. The Americans looked confused, and I had to admit, I was too, sure, being born in the Medjai, I knew all about Hamunpatra, but, I had no clue to as what they were doing.
"Well, what the hell we doin'?" One of them, which I believe to be Daniels asked.
"Patience, my good sahib, patience." Beni responded.
"First one to the city, O'Connell! Five hundred! Cash bucks!" One of them told my brother, but Rick didn't respond to him, just kept staring at the Horizon.
Suddenly, the sun starts to rise. "Get ready." Rick said.
"For what?" Evelyn asked.
"We're about to be shown the way."
Wait, shown the way? I pondered. Of course, it all made sense now, I didn't understand it when I was a child, but now that my brother said that, it was pretty logical. The path to Hamunpatra wouldn't be shown to just anyone at any time, especially to those who didn't know the way over there, so there was a certain time that it would show itself, which is why many people never made their way to the lost city, they were never shown the way, and it was a good thing that they didn't. Well, it wasn't good for them, as they would be dead. But I'm pretty sure if that if they did indeed find the city and what was buried beneath it, they would have died anyway, and probably most everyone in the country, and eventually the world.
A huge volcano shape started to rise along with the sun. And pretty soon, the Americans started to take off, I rolled my eyes. This trip was a suicide mission.
"See ya there, O'Connell!" One of them yelled as they were taking off.
"Ah, begging your pardon, but shouldn't we be going?" Jonathan asked.
"After all, you rode us night and day to win that bet." Evelyn added.
Since neither Rick nor Beni made a move, I had a feeling that the Americans were going in the wrong direction.
Beni watched them and spit into the sand. "Fools!" He muttered, which confirmed my suspicions, as did the shifting volcano. And the Americans chased after it, and then it shifted again. It shifted 3 more times, and it made the Americans so angry and confused. I had to admit, that was pretty hilarious.
Then everyone starting taking off. I stayed where I was for a few minutes. I was in no rush to get there.
"You boys owe me five hundred dollars." Rick said, as I finally made my way into the lost city. "Okay there?" My brother asked me.
"Yeah." I nodded. "You know I wasn't too eager to get here."
He nodded. "Yeah, I know, I didn't forget."
Rick, the warden and my cousins were working next to a narrow crevice and I was just merely watching them, as I had already informed them that I wanted nothing to do with this place and that I had only come because my brother asked me too, and nothing more, and nothing less.
"That thing gives me the creeps." Jonathan said, of seeing the face of Anubis.
"Be nice. That thing saved my life." Rick said.
I turned to see Evelyn positioning ancient mirrors along the crevice. I knew what she was doing, I had heard of them before.
"That "thing" gets me excited." Evelyn said.
"The things that get you excited." Rick said mockingly sarcastic to her.
"According to Bembridge Scholars, inside the statue of Anubis was a secret compartment, perhaps containing The Book of the Living." Evelyn said excitedly. Yeah, no, not a good idea that she was looking for that book, I shook my head with a sigh.
I followed them all down into the crevice. Ricked got a torch as a source of light, until Evelyn's ancient Egyptian trick would take in place.
"Do you realize, we are standing inside a room that no one has entered in over four thousand years?" Evelyn asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, like most places around here." I said, looking around, and I knew instantly that this is a type of place where an Embalmer's chambers would be.
"Who cares? I don't see no treasure." The warden said.
"You're welcome to my share of the spider webs." Rick told him.
"And it stinks to high heaven in here." Jonathan said. I raised an eyebrow, yeah, it did stink, but it wasn't the chamber. I let my eyes shift to the warden and shook my head.
"Cretins." Evelyn rolled her eyes.
"That's a neat trick." Rick said, as the light from the sun came on. I had to admit, even though I was completely against this whole trip, I was intrigued.
"Oh my God, it's a preparation room." Evelyn murmured.
"Preparation for what?" Rick asked.
"For entering the afterlife." Evelyn said, but that wasn't clear to my brother, who drew his gun.
Jonathan nudged him. "Mummies, my good son, this is where they made the mummies."
I rolled my eyes. "It's similar to how they embalm people today, except for people don't prefer being mummified in present day time." I added, as I followed after Evelyn.
We walked through a Labyrinth, which was cobweb infested might I add, and into Anubis's Chamber. Where we ran into the Americans, which all scared each other, that they all had their guns drawn.
"Ya scared the bejeezus out of us, O'Connell." One of them said.
"Likewise." My brother responded.
"This here is our statue,... friend." Another said.
"Don't see your name on it,... pal." Rick told him.
Beni and the others came out of the shadows, each with guns pointing at him. I rolled my eyes, they were kind of acting like a bunch of children. But with guns.
"Ten to one, O'Connell, your odds are not-so-good." Beni said.
"I've had worse." Rick said.
"Yes, me too." My idiotic cousin clutched a tiny derringer.
"Let's be nice, children, if we're going to play together, we must learn to share." Evelyn informed them all, dragging Rick to another area. Jon, the warden and I followed them into another chamber. Upon the writing on the wall, I saw the name Imhotep. My eyes narrowed, it couldn't be.
"According to my calculations, we should be right under the statue. We'll come up right between his legs." Evelyn said. I raised an eyebrow. She blushed and laughed. "Oh My."
"And when those dirty Yanks go to sleep –"Jonathan started, and then looked at Rick. "No offense."
"None taken."
"We'll sneak up and steal that book right out from under them." Jonathan continued.
"And you're sure you can find the secret compartment?" Rick asked.
"Yes, if their Egyptologist hasn't already found it." Evelyn told him.
Jonathan looked around. I say, what's our smelly little friend got himself up to?"
I shrugged, not seeing the warden anywhere, but I wasn't about to go looking for him.
I couldn't help but laugh as Evelyn started explaining how mummification worked and the look on my brother's face.
"Lemme get this straight, they stuck a sharp, red hot poker up your nose, cut your brain into small pieces and then ripped it all out through your nostrils?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Ouch, that's got to hurt." Rick muttered.
"It's called mummification. You're dead when they do this."
"If I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification." Rick muttered to Jonathan.
Suddenly a huge chunk of rock where they were using the hammers fell down. I jumped back. When the dust cleared, we walked over to it, and I knew it to be a sarcophagus.
"Oh my god,... it looks like, it looks like a sarcophagus." Evelyn said.
"Why would they bury somebody in the ceiling?"
"They didn't, they buried him at the foot of Anubis." I informed him.
"He was either someone of great importance. Or he did something very naughty." Evelyn added.
"Or both." I muttered, where no one could hear me, I was having a bad feeling about this whole thing. I knew who he had to be, and what he did, but I wasn't sure, but if I was right, this wouldn't end every well.
Evelyn cleared off the dirt and started to read the hieroglyph, and I read it over her shoulder. "He that shall not be named." I whispered under my breath." Well hell, it was who I thought it was, this was officially not going to end well.
"Well, … Who is it?" Jonathan asked.
"He that shall not be named." Evelyn repeated as Rick dusted off a lock.
"There's some sort of lock here. You say these things are made of granite with a steel interior?" Rick said.
"Quarried granite with a cobalt lining." I said, as Evie looked at the lock.
"Whoever's in here, sure wasn't getting out." Jonathan commented. And it was meant to stay that way.
"No kiddin', without a key, it'll take us a month to crack this thing." Rick murmured.
"A key! That's it! That's what he was talking about." Evie said.
"Who?" I asked at the same time as my brother asked, "Who was talking about what?"
"The man on the barge. The one with the hook, he was looking for a key." She said, as she dug through Jonathan's bag. The Medjai warrior, well, that was another confirmation that this was a bad idea. She finally pulled out the key box and Jonathan tried to grab it back.
"Hey, that's mine!" He exclaimed, and Evie slapped his hands away and undid the box, revealing a key. That's when the warden suddenly comes running at us, screaming and clutching his head, then he runs and slammed headfirst into a rock and then falls down, dead, eyes wide open.
