MY Pharaoh? (Ahkmenrah)

I'll see you again.

I awoke, removed my bandages and stood next to Ahk. I told Larry to bring my brother tonight. "I'm scared Ahk. I don't wanna hurt him."

"It will be okay, he will grow up to understand." As Larry walked round the corner my brother ran in and immediately hugged me.

"Niamh!! I missed you."

"I missed you too little one."

"We going home tonight?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you about. I can't come home."

"Yeh you can. It's just down the road."

"Ahk, please. I can't." He walked over and knelt in front of my brother.

"You see my tablet up there on the wall? It brings everything in this museum to life every night. Your sister helped me get it back from my brother. My brother killed your sister and she must stay here so that she can come to life with the rest of us. If she leaves she'll die."

"She's not dead, she's right there."

"I know but in the morning she will die, so will I, and we will both come back to life again tomorrow night."

"S-so. I'll never see her again?" I could see the tears forming in his eyes. I rushed over to him.

"You will. Only at night and only in the museum. You'll have to live with Larry and Nick. Is that okay little one?" He sniffed and wiped his eyes.

"Y-yeah. I promise I'll always visit."

"And I'll always be here." Ahk put his arm around my shoulder.

"It's okay." He pulled me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around him and cried as Larry lead my little brother out. "He'll learn, he'll visit. He'll be okay."

"I made a promise to my parents and to myself that I would look after him, I can't do that now I'm dead!" I cried into his shoulder. "He's now the only one left in our family. Our parents are dead, now I am! We had no real other family, grandparents are dead and no aunts or uncles. Nothing. Just him."

"It's okay, and if your parents could see you, they would be so proud. You gave up your life to basically save mine. They would be proud of that. You left your brother with the most capable man in the world and that is a great honour and he will look after him well." he gently rubbed my back soothing me. I felt so safe in his arms. I heard a slight cough and turned to see Larry stood by the entrance to the exhibit.

"I brought you something." he smiled. "I thought you both looked a little squashed in Ahk's coffin so, I made some inquiries to some other museums as to whether they had any empty royal sarcophagus' and sure enough one turned up. So, here you are, your own sarcophagus." He pulled in a beautiful gold sarcophagus I walked over looking at the beautiful coffin.

"Thank you, its amazing." I opened it and laid down, "wow I fit." I got back out, "Can I have it next to Ahk's please?" he nodded and I helped him move it next to Ahk's. Well at least I have somewhere to sleep now.

6 months later.

"Happy birthday little one!!"  It was Joshua's 7th birthday. Everyone at the museum had come into mine and Ahk's exhibit to celebrate. Nick had brought him a cake and we all put together a little party. It was great, even though I'm dead I can spend time with my brother and im practically stuck in my favourite historical period ever! I am a freaking Egyptian! It's great. "So little one how does it feel to be- AGH!!" I felt a horrific pain in my lower abdomen, where I was stabbed by Kahmunrah. I looked down to see my white clothes stained red. I collapsed on the floor in pain, I could see Ahk laying in the same amount of pain if not more, it sounded like chaos around me but I was in so much pain I couldn't look around. Soon the pain subsided and I managed to stand back up. "What was that?" I looked at Ahk.

"I don't know but look what has happened to my tablet." I looked over at the golden tablet on the wall, only now it wasn't gold. It was tinged with a blue rust.

"What is that?"

"I don't know, I've never seen this before. But I think it has something to do with whatever just happened. I know nothing about how this could happen or how to fix it. The only one who knows all the secrets of my tablet is my father."

"Then we need to find your father."
