Sister (Mummy Fanfiction)

Chapter Ten

Day 5: Part 3: Night

I couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable and uneasy as I made my way to the museum, so I walked faster until I had reached it and inside, with the door closed behind me. I walked back down the hall to the main part. Both the curator and Ardeth looked up as I arrived.

"What's happened?" Ardeth asked, "You shouldn't be out there when the creature is still on the loose."

I nodded and shrugged. "I know, and nothing's happened. Rick left Evy locked up in her room and left the Americans guarding her, and he and Jon went out to try to go rescue the Egyptologist before it's too late, like that would do much good anyway, so I decided to come here."

He nodded understanding, the curator stood, saying something about needing to do something in his office and left.

"How have you been the past few years, since, well, you know." He asked. I nodded, knowing what he meant.

"Good, I suppose, nothing drastic, and pretty normal. After baba died, mom just moved me here, she didn't really want to take me out of Egypt as well, once we left the tribe, though however, she has taken me to America a few times to visit her family." I told him. "And you?"

He gave me a brief summary of what he has been through the past decade, with his father's death and then his mother's death and him taking on his father's position as the leader, and he was still young, he was just about around the same age as my brother.

"You mentioned that Evelyn and Jonathan were your cousins." He said. "How did that come about? I mean, how did you learn of it?"

I shrugged. "Long story actually, and it's kind of confusing of how we found out." I went to a simple, brief, uncomplicated version of the story. About how my grandfather, Saleem's, aunt was half Medjai, her mother have given her up at birth and she was raised by her father and stepmother, and Jon and Evy were descended from her, and alas, my distance cousins.

About half an hour later, Evy, Rick, Jon and Daniels arrived at the museum, where we learned that the creature had gotten ahold of not only the Egyptologist, but also Henderson.

"Well, according to legend, the black book that they Americans found at Hamunaptra is supposed to bring people back from the dead." Evy said from behind me as I followed Ardeth and the Curator upstairs.

"Until now, it was a notion I was unwilling to believe." She continued.

"Believe me sister. That's what brought our buddy back to life." Rick said.

"Yes. I'm thinking that if the black book can bring people to life.."

"Then maybe the gold book can kill him."

"That's the myth." She said. "Now, we just have to find out where the gold book is hidden."

All of a sudden, I heard chanting of "Imhotep." I stopped as did the others. Rick, Jon, Evy and Daniels turned around to head to the window, and I followed them, with Ardeth and the curator behind me.

They continued with their chanting as they headed towards the museum and torches and they were covered in boils.

"Last, but not least, my favorite plague, boils and sores." Jon said as I shivered.

"They have become his slaves." Ardeth said. "So it has begun, the beginning of the end."

"Not quite yet it hasn't." Evy said. "Come on." She turned to walk down the hall and we followed her to a stone wall, where she started reading, trying to find out where the golden book, known as the book of Amun-Ra was located. The curator was trying to help. Jon was looking over her shoulder, and Daniels and Ardeth were looking out the window. I stood in the space in between my brother and Ardeth.
