Chapter 11

Day 6: Part 2

It wasn't long before we finally reached Hamunaptra. We went back underground, much to my displeasure, walking with torches in our hands before we came upon an entrance that was blocked by a lot of rocks. Rick and Ardeth quickly started working to move them.

And of course, Jonathan, my dearest cousin, just had to open his big mouth. "I'd take those bigger stones first." He said, pointing. "Take them from the top, otherwise, the whole thing will cave in on us. Come on. Put your backs into it."

I hit my cousin in the arm while Rick whipped his head to face him, as did Ardeth, both of them giving him a look. Jonathan gave me a glare for hitting him before he spoke again. "Yes, well, you've got the idea. Chop, chop."

They went back at it while Jonathan turned away, going to inspect some kind of wall while I stood there, holding the only sources of light that we had. I would be glad to get this day out of the way, this place gave me the creeps, for good reason. I don't even think that my father had even been down in this place, and he had tried his hardest with the others to prevent them from discovering it. That mummy should have never been raised. I couldn't blame Evy, of course she didn't know, how could she? But still, this was really bad.

I looked over at what Jonathan was doing, he plucked something out of the wall and laid it in his palm as he came back over to us. I quickly realized what he was holding, a scarab. "Jonathan, don't!" But I was too late in warning him, he started screaming, so I knew that it had entered his skin.

This got Rick and Ardeth's attention. "What?" Rick asked.

"It's my arm! My arm!"

"It's a scarab." I told him. Rick looked at me before ripping Jonathan's shirt, and we saw it under his skin on his shoulder. Rick took a knife and dug it out as Ardeth held him in place. I winced slightly as it went flying, and my brother, as always, shot the thing.

I patched up my cousin's shoulder (again, I make sure I stay well stocked, I have Rick as a brother) and made sure the bandage was secured. "Don't touch anything else." I told him.

"I won't." He said, but his reaction made me raise an eyebrow at him.

"Jonathan, I mean it." I gave him a look.

He sighed. "Fine."

Finally, Ardeth and Rick had finished removing all of the stones and we followed Rick down the dark path, after a little while, Rick stopped and dropped some stuff down, as I could hear a thud, he wriggled through the crack and jumped down and then turned to help me.

Ardeth was the next one down, followed by Jonathan, the room was dark, and I could barely see two feet in front of my face, so I stuck near Ardeth. Moments later, I heard a gunshot, and then there was light filling in the room, showing us a bunch of gold.

Jonathan was in disbelief at this. "Wha…Wha…"

"Jonathan." I warned, as my brother and Ardeth started down the steps. "Remember what I told you." I said, following them down.

"Can you see…" Jonathan said.

"Yeah." Rick said.

"Can you believe…"

"Yeah."

"Can we just…"

"No." Rick and I said simultaneously.

We quickly heard a noise and all four of us turned quickly around, to see a hand, and then a body, of a mummified person, which I assumed was one of Imhotep's priests. And then two more popped out of the ground. My eyes widened and Ardeth pushed me slightly behind him, as I could figure that there would be a gun fight, one sided of course.

"Who the hell are these guys" Rick questioned.

"Priests." Ardeth said. "Imhotep's priests."

"Alright then." Then he started shooting; both of them did. I had to raise an eyebrow slightly as Jonathan pulled Rick's two handguns out of the holster. They started backing up when more arrived and I took my clue to turn around and keep moving.

They continued to fire as we walked down yet another dark tunnel, I was leading, holding one of the torches while Jonathan had the other.

"I think this is him!" I called seeming something. Upon closer inspection of the statue, I knew it was it. "It's the statue of Horus!" I called back, running over to it, Jonathan on my heels.

"Hello, Horus, old boy."

"Time to close the door." I heard my brother say and I looked back in time to see him throw a stick of dynamite at the mummified priests, and we all took cover behind the statue.

While Jonathan and Rick started pulling at the feet of Horus, Ardeth was reloading and we heard more of them coming. I sighed lightly to myself. How many freaking priests did Imhotep have?

"Damn. These guys just don't quit do they?" I could tell my brother was thinking the same thing.

"Keep digging." Ardeth said.

They finally undug the book and we brushed it off and lifted the cover, the gold book being under it.

"The book of Amun-Ra." Jonathan said.

Ardeth kept shooting as more priests came. I unsheathe my sword; he wasn't going to have enough ammo to hold all of them off at the rate they were going. And I was right, he ran out.

He turned back to where we were standing. "Save the girl. Kill the creature." He said.

I looked at my brother. "I'm going to help Ardeth, there's just too many of them." I said. Rick looked like he wanted to argue with me, but I gave him a look and he sighed, giving in, he knew that I could take care of myself. "I'll meet you outside." I told him, before turning back to Ardeth who nodded at me.

He then made a yelling noise and butted them; hitting them in the head with the gun. I shook my head and followed him, taking some mummy's heads off on my way out. I was in front of Ardeth, him getting mixed around with some of the mummies, I helped him out by slashing at some of them around him when I heard my brother's voice.

"What are you waiting for? Get out! Get out!" We both quickly did so, hearing the boom of yet another dynamite.

"What's with your brother and blowing stuff up?" Ardeth asked me, breathing hard as he tried to catch his breath, leaning against a wall.

I shrugged. "I… I don't know." I shook my head. "There's a lot of things about him that I just don't understand." I titled my head a bit. "I've learned not to question his methods; they always seem to work anyway." I said. "Most of the time." I added.

He nodded, standing up as I offered a hand to help. "You good?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah." He gave me a smile and then the building started rumbling. We both looked up, to see sand and rock fixtures falling.

"We have to go." Ardeth said and I nodded.

"Yeah." He took my hand and we quickly got out of the place, dodging rocks as we went out. Soon, we finally saw the light of the sun. "Finally." I took a deep breath of fresh air.

I followed him over to where the camels were, putting quite some distance between us and Hamunaptra. None of us fully relaxed though, I was anxious to find out where my cousins and brother was, I thought that they'd be out by now.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be out soon." Ardeth said, as if he could sense what I was thinking.

"I know." I nodded. "They're stubborn, the lot of them."

"So, what will you do now?" He asked me.

I sighed with a shrug. "Honestly, I don't know what I want to do right now." I looked over at the place, which was starting to crumble. "Probably help to keep my brother out of trouble. Allah knows, he can't seem to stay out of it."

Ardeth nodded again. "Don't forget, you can come visit your tribe anytime you would like." He told me. "I'm sure your grandfather would love to see you again." I nodded. I did miss my grandfather, I didn't have as many memories of him as I did my father, but I still had some fond ones of my grandfather. When I was born, I had been the only granddaughter of his, as he and my grandmother had had 4 grandsons.

"And don't forget, I'll be around if you need me." He leaned down and kissed me softly, and gently. I was surprised, but hey, I wasn't complaining.

I kissed him back and gave him a smile when we pulled apart a few minutes later. "I'll have to keep that in mind." I told him. "And I'll keep in touch."

He nodded and kissed my forehead before mounting a camel. "I'll hold you to that."

I turned and happened to see Jonathan, Evy and my brother. "There they are." I walked alongside the camel and we approached them from behind. Ardeth reached out and touched Jonathan's shoulder, who in turn, screamed, which caused Evy to scream. He jumped back and the three turned around to face us.

I snickered at the actions of Jonathan, but I managed to rein it in before I lost control. Jonathan held his left hand on his chest, over his heart. "Thank you. Thank you very much."

Ardeth smiled. "You have earned the respect and gratitude of me and my people."

"Yeah, well, it was nothing." Jonathan said, which caused me to roll my eyes.

"May Allah smile upon you always." He put his hand to his mouth and brought it up to his forehead and back out.

Jonathan pointed his finger around. "And yourself."

Ardeth gave me a nod and then had his camel turn to face in the other direction.

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

"I wouldn't say that." I didn't miss the look that Rick gave my cousin. Jonathan didn't either.

"Oh, please!" He turned to one of the other three camels standing there. "How about you, darling? Would you like a little kissy-wissy?" He asked the camel. The camel opened its mouth and breathed in Jonathan's face.

I laughed at that as I mounted on of the other camels myself. Jonathan mounted his and Rick and Evy got on the other one and we headed back to Cairo, back home, until the next adventure.
