So, here is chapter 5, I didn't add the night scene, that will be added in another chapter, as it's a pretty long scene.
Chapter 5:
Day 4: Part 1
The next morning, we started afresh in Imhotep's chamber and Evy tried out the key to unlock the sarcophagus. All three of them had hangovers, which I found amusing, and when I pointed this out, my brother shot me a glare.
Rick and Jonathan started to slide the top off of the sarcophagus. "I can't believe I allowed the two of you to get me drunk."
"Don't blame me, I don't even remember being there." Jonathan told her.
"Well neither do I, thank you." Evelyn said.
My brother looked hurt. "You don't?"
No... Why?... Should I?" Evy asked.
"Gee, yeah, you told me it was the best time you ever had." Rick smiled. It was just then that the lid fell off and made a loud noise that made them clutch their heads with a groan. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh my god, I've dreamed about this ever since I was a little girl." Evy exclaimed.
"You dream about dead guys?" Rick asked, with an eyebrow raised. I shook my head, it had to be about finding things, like books and spells and symbols, not mummies, and especially not this particular mummy, because no one was supposed to know of him, let along find him.
"Look, all the sacred spells have been chiseled off. The hieratics and hieroglyphs that protect the deceased on his journey into the afterlife, they've been removed. This man was cursed,... doomed." Evy said.
I admit I was curious, so I went over to look at it, and sure enough, they all were, and yeah, doomed was an understatement.
Jonathan and Rick were uninterested in what she had to say. "Tough break." Rick said.
"Yes, I'm all tears, now let's see whose inside, shall we?" Jonathan said, and unlocked the lid.
"Oh my god." I muttered, using my scarf to cover my nose, even though it's been thousands of years, it still smelled horrible. Rick and Jon grabbed the lid and started pulling. All of a sudden, the mummy, better known as Imhotep, popped out, making us all jump back. Now I knew what the stories meant about the curse. He looked this way because of the Hom-dai.
"Is he supposed to look like that?" Rick asked.
I shook my head. "No, mummies aren't supposed to look like this. So, fresh so to speak."
Evy nodded, agreeing with me. "He's… He's." She started, not able to find the right word.
"Juicy." Jonathan offered up.
"Yes. He's more than four thousand years old and still decomposing." Evy said.
"And look at this." Rick said. He was pointing to the inside of the coffin lid and you could see fingernail starches and blood, long dried inside of the lid.
"Oh my god." Evy said. "He was buried alive." She leaned in closer, seeing something. "And he left a message."
I looked in closer to see hieratics written in blood. "Death is only the beginning." I repeated.
Jonathan shivered while Rick looked around. "Okay, where's my gun?" He asked. And I raised an eyebrow, the creature wasn't living, and even if he was awoken, not even a gun could stop him.
"What are you going to do? Shoot him?" Jon asked.
"If he decides to wake up, hell yes." Rick said, causing me to roll my eyes at him.
"Yeah, that isn't going to work." I said. "Not even all the guns in world would stop him."
I saw 3 pairs of eyes on me, and I shrugged. I wasn't going to say anything, and I wasn't going to unless it was really needed.
