Hello again time for Chapter 6 Imhotep doesn't make an appearance in mummy form. Enjoy and I only own Bennu and Miya.
Chapter 6
We set up camp next to the statue of Anubis. I was stashing my weapons in their places before heading out.
"What is that mirror for?"
I heard dad ask Evy that but I didn't hear her answer as I heard a faint whisper,
"Bennu..."
I looked around and shrugged before focusing back on the group.
"Look for bugs, I hate bugs!"
I shake my head and jumped into the hole.
"Miya-!" dad started to shout but stopped when I landed on my feet completely unfazed.
"What?" I walked off to the side and waited for Jonathan and the warden.
"Whats that smell?" Jonathan then noticed the warden, "Oh."
'Poor Jonathan.' Evy then moved a mirror saying,
"And then there was light." the room we were in lit up and it looked like an old hall or something.
"Its a preparation room."
"Preparation for what?"
"The afterlife." as soon as she said that dad drew one of his guns and Jonathan said a side note.
We eventually came into a room with the base of the Anubis statue which Evy commented on.
We then heard something and dad spun while drawing his gun while I grabbed some shurikens from my belt.
The other group drew their weapons and we got in an argument that ended with us going to a different spot to 'dig'.
"According to these hieroglyphics we are right under the statue so if we continue digging here we'll come up right between his feet."
While digging Jonathan made a comment on the Americans which we both forgave and I made a side note,
"Technically I'm an American that a citizen of Japan."
With more digging and a few more comments we took a break. While dad, and Evy were talking about the process of mummification, Jonathon played a little golf with the digging equipment and some rocks, I just sat off to the side and took out my sketch book and a pencil.
Flipping to a sketch of a face I continued to work on it. I had been seeing him a lot in my dreams but I couldn't place where. A loud thud made me look up and saw a sarcophagus that fell through the ground above us. I was about to join them when we all heard a scream.
Quickly I took out one of my swords and stopped when we all saw that the warden was the one screaming. I put my sword back just as he screamed again while clutching his head and ran straight into the wall dying instantly making us all puzzled and look at him.
"Well at least we know where he went now." was all I said as I left the site and headed back up to the surface for some sun, and fresh air.
Time Skip (3rd POV)
Miya was sitting at their camp fire while waiting for her dad to come back from the other campsite.
"Bad news something happened to the other group as well." I looked up at him as he walked over to us.
"What happened dad?"
"Some of their diggers melted."
"How?"
"There was pressurized salt acid in a hidden compartment at the base of the statue."
Miya whinced while Evy just looked bored. Soon Rick and Miya spun drawing a weapon when they had heard Jonathon scream only to see him holding an old wine bottle that was in the wardens satchel. Just as the two were about to put their drawn weapons away they all heard gun fire and Rick hands Evy a shot gun for protection.
"Stay here." He than ran off leaving MIya alone with the other two. Evy then followed with the two chasing after her.
Miya's POV
"Great now where'd she go?" I huffed before coming to a stop. Turning to face Jonathon I face palmed when I saw he wasn't there.
"Great now I lost the other one!"
Taking off I jumped up on top of a fallen wall and started throwing shurikens at the men clad in black.
"O'Connell!"
I turned and saw Jonathon being chased by one of those men. When they got close I tackled the man off his horse and quickly drew my blades.
Ardeth's POV
My eyes widen when I saw that my opponent was a girl with flaming red hair and eyes. Quickly I drew my blade only for her to knock it out a second later. I drew the other with the same speed as the first and successfully knocked hers out of her hands. I then kicked her in the stomach making her fall over.
Miya's POV
I grunted as I hit the ground and as the man was about to strike dad came and lit a dynamite the man eyes widen and he shouted,
"Yallah, we will not shed anymore blood, but you must leave now or you will die."
They all soon left and those who survived got together after dad threw the lit dynamite away from us.
"That proves it, there's treasure here."
"Nah, those men were desert people they value water above anything else."
"Then why did kill many of us just to tell us to leave? Their protecting something and I bet that something is Seti's treasure."
They continued to argue as I went off to find my shurikens I had used. At first though I couldn't find them but I did see a pile which ended up being my shurikens.
"Okay there's my shurikens but where's the bodies they were in?" I heard something and spun only to be met by a gust of sand.
"Oh ew sand in mouth!" I spun back away from the gust. I then put my shurikens back on my belt and headed back to the camp.
3rd POV
Miya continued walking not knowing she was being watched.
Ardeth watched then realized something about her. "That girl reminds me of someone I read about in the old scrolls from the first Medjai back when Seti was still alive."
One of them then asked, "Who was it?"
"I cannot remember her name, but she was among the military ranks for Seti."
Unknown to them there was a figure made of sand watching her. It was soon blown away with a gentle breeze and the breeze caught the words,
"Soon Bennu Soon."
BOOM! I got a new comp the day after I found out I wouldn't be able to fix my old one. I guess fate really does work in mysterious ways. Thanks for the reviews and please R&R some more.
