Blooming (Being Edited)

1

I sighed as I walked, not lost at all...well maybe a little bit.
But I knew it was just a small place, I could find my way back....eventually.

My torch flickered as I walked reading some of the hieroglyphics on the wall that told snid bits of the old ancient world. Even if I knew a life time of it. Sort of, I was still harnessing my lapses into my last life with....Imhotep... I miss him strangely enough.

While I wasn't paying attention I was suddenly falling. "Riiiiickkkkk!!!" I screamed as I was sliding down.

I found myself coughing as dust was everywhere and I. The air around where I had landed, quite roughly might I add.

I coughed again as I stood before looking for my torch. Only to find it was out, and my lighter was with Alex in the big room with lots of large pillars.

Looking I around. I found it wasn't to dark, and do I started walking only to instantly fall into a past life trance thing. Still unsure what to really call them.

I sighed to myself as I looked down only to blush and look away, I was completely naked!

I looked around to find there was no one around. This was a strange place. It was a bath room of sorts. I waterfall laid to the right spouting the water for the large bath run that can host huge pool party. Gold was about every which way. Painted on pillars, and was painted on. The sides of the tub.

Just lots of gold basically.

I went to the bath and slid in surpirde to find it warm, just like how I do my baths now.

"Lotus...." I voice said behind me, I sqeauked as I hid my areas as much as I could, sinking lower to see if that would help, but I was suddenly in a white wet dress, it was kinda see through now,but I still hid my bits as I turned to the culprit.

Finding myself face to face with Imhotep.

"How?" I asked as I stared at him wide eyed.

"I'm still not exactly dead my flower. I'm just waiting for the reincarnation of Anak su namun, then for my scorpion army." He says as he suddenly pulls me way to close to him.

I wanted to pull back, but my hands were suddenly tied out of no where. "Okay, what has any of that have to do with me?" I asked glaring at the man, water hitting the back of our legs from the waterfalls ripples.

He smirked leaning in to beside my ear. "You will find out..." He says as everything starts to fade back to a black. "My flower...." He says before I'm back and I'm in the empty bath tub in the room I was in.

"Great...." I mumbled as I headed towards the stream of light where I fell and slide from.

"Lotus!?!" Yelled a males voice I recognized as Rick's.

"Finally," I grumbled as I walked to the light standing under it. "I'm here!! I can't get back up, it's to steep and smooth!" I yelled up to him.

I saw him from above look at me with a sigh of relief. "Hold on, I'll get you out of there!" He yelled down to me as he turned to his bag, pulling out some rope before throwing it down to me.

I grabbed hold of it and started climbing, Rick pulling from above, so it was quickly done and I was out of the dusty old and dark bathroom of some kind.

"Thanks...." I said standing beside Rick as we walked back towards Evie.

"No problem, I got really worried when I heard you scream for me. So was Evie but I told her to stay so I could come check if you were okay and make sure it wasn't some mummy." He says chuckling a bit as he waved his torch at the spiderwebs.

"Hmm, let's hope no more mummies actually rise from the dead again Rick. We wouldn't really like that now would we?" I say smirking before it was ripped off my face when we heard light footsteps.

Rick drew one of his twin pistils as I grabbed my daggers twirling them effortlessly, ready for a fight.
"We just had to poke at the mummy jokes...." He says before we both aimed at Alex who came out of nowhere scaring all three of us.

"Alex, we told you to stay back at the entrance!" Rick said exasperated, putting his gun away.

I giggled putting my daggers away. "He's a child Rick, children never listen."

Alex started explaining as fast as he could. "I heard Aunt Lotus scream so I came as fast as I could, I was already heading for you guys anyway!"

"Go back Alex, go build a better mousetrap or something..." Rick said trying to have Alex go the way back.

"But wait! Dad! Your tattoo! It's on the wall and looked really important!" Alex said trying to get Rick to come back and see it after taking his leather cuff off, "It had the eye, the pyramid and some of the same other stuff."

"Yeah, alright, I'll see it after I help your Mother. Now run along." Rick says shoving Alex forward again.

Alex soon left pouting.

"You know Rick, he just may have found some answers as to why the orphanage gave you that." I told him as u started following him to where him and Evie were last.

"Yea I know, but if rather not leave Evie unattended. You how that could end." He said looking back at me.

I sighed continuing our walk. "Don't I know it."
