The Jewel of the Desert Oasis

Chapter Three

It's the start of my second night at the museum, I arose from my sarcophagus, I noticed Ahk was doing the same. “Good evening Ahkmenrah!” I greeted him with a smile as he helped me out. “Good evening Amirätah, are you ready for your tour and to meet everyone?” He asked returning the smile. I nodded my head, he then took my hand in his and led me towards the exit of our Hall. He continued to hold my hand once we were out in the hallway, I could feel my cheeks heating up, if I still have a heart it's most definitely racing right now. His hand was warm and mine seemed to fit inside his perfectly, it made me happy, I felt safe by his side. We continued down the halls still holding hands, he showed me the hall of African mammals and introduced me to the little Capuchin Monkey named Dexter, he was so cute with his mischievous grin upon his little face. Then we came across what Ahk call the Easter Island Head, “Hello Ahkmenrah, who's the new Dum-dum? Did you bring me gum-gum?” It asked as we approached. He better not be calling me Dum-dum. “Um… Excuse me, but who are you calling Dum-dum? My name is Amirätah!” I replied angrily.

***************

      I felt Amirätah tense up when the Easter Island Head  called her Dum-dum, she started to yell at him saying that her name was Amirätah not Dum-dum, they began to argue. To be honest I thought she was really cute when she got angry, of course she was already beautiful. Eventually  though I got tired of their arguing about her name. “Why don't you just call her Amirä instead of Dum-dum? If you do I'll tell Larry to bring you some more gum-gum.” I suggested to him, and he agreed . We said our goodbyes to him and went about the tour. Next hall the Hall of Miniatures.

*****************

       Ahkmenrah led me to the Hall of Miniatures, there I met two little people, one was a little shaggy blonde haired cowboy with a black cowboy hat, light blue button up shirt, a yellow-brown vest that was unbuttoned, dark blue jeans with brown chaps, light brown belt, brown cowboy boots , a red bandana around his neck, and two guns; one strapped to each leg. The other was a Roman general dressed in his red and shiny Roman guard’s uniform and a tiny little sword strapped to his belt on the left side.

      “Howdy there Little Lady, name’s Jedediah and this is my friend…. Er... B... B.. Boyfr....” He was cut off by the Roman general “I'm Octavius, it's an honor to meet you Milady.” He greeted me. I smiled at them and introduced myself. “ Well Milady, you and Ahk here better get going I’m sure you still have many more of the exhibits to see and greet. I’m sure the others are anxious to meet you.” said Octavius. Ahk and i nodded, we said our goodbyes and were about to depart when Jedediah called out to us causing us to stop in our tracks. Ahk and I squated down to their level as Jed approached us. “Attila and his men wanted me to tell you that they are sorry for yesterday, they said that they wanted to apologize and meet you officially.” I thank Jedediah for telling me and left with Ahkmenrah at my side.

       I was actually a little frightened to meet Attila the Hun again, especially after what happened yesterday. I began to walk slower letting my thoughts over take me. What if he tries to chase after me again or worse wants to rip me apart. Oh man I really don't think this is a good idea. I stopped in the middle of the hallway that Ahk and I were walking in, I really don't think I can face Attila again. I closed my eyes, trying to relax and calm myself down. When I  opened my eyes again I didn't see Ahkmenrah anywhere in sight.
