"Hello, good to see I'm alright as well!" I say after Rick and Evie talked about how to get through the wall.We found her here dusting off a pretty interesting picture that seemed familiar to me in a way. There were two females looking ready to fight....for what or why, I wasn't entirely sure.
"Oh right, are you okay Lotus?" Evie says as she stopped listening to Rick for a second to look at me.
I rolled my eyes and smiled at her. "Yeah I'm fine. But I haft to agree on Rick about hammering the wall down, we can put the pieces back together anyway." I said waving my hand in the air.
She rolled her eyes and let Rick grab his trusty sledge hammer and break the wall down in one clean swing, a door like hole was made and the slab of stone fell on top of the many scorpions and tarantulas on the ground, still alive somehow after many years most likely at least.
"Why can't we ever do it my way?" Evie asks as she walks through the insects easily.
"Cause your way would have taken slower." Rick said as he walked behind her, as I hesitantly followed him through the crunching and squishing of bugs.
"Yes but softer." She says taking the torch Rick offered her.
"Yeah sure." Rick says watching her walk ahead as he helped me out of the small bit of creepies.
"Thanks." I said wiping my shoes on the ground to get bug guts off my soles.
He smirked amused. "Sure, flower, sure."
"What?" I asked confused.
"Nothing." He says going after Evie.
We were quiet for a second before I decided to speak up, "So, Imhotep contacted me somehow while I was in that dark Bathroom." I said nonchalantly.
"What?" He asked whipping around to look down at me. "What he say?"
"He was going to be raised by Anck-sa namun, raise some scorpion army, and I asked why he was contacting me, and he said, I would see. Or find out." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Did you hit your head by any chance?" He asked.
I thought about it. "It's a possibility." I say and he sighs.
We find Evie stopped staring at some door type thing, Rick walked passed her and she seemed to come back from her thoughts as Rick tried to open the door with a crow bar.
"Let's do this my way." She says as she starts doing something with the door and it opened making me and Rick surprised.
"Nice Evie. Nice." I say I walk in to the small treasure vault of a room, finding something I didn't expect to see there, not the box that Rick and Evie were fanning over, but the outfit I wore for ceremonies was here with the jewels and the gold. I decided to put it all in my bag. It would go nice in my house near Rick's in England.
"Let's do this your way." I hear Rick day as he hands Evie, who was trying to open the small box, a key similar to the one to a sarcophagus a decade back.
"Wait, what was the warning?" I asked as she started opening the box.
"Something about drinking from the Nile." Rick says as it opens and we see a gold bracelet with a scorpion on it in gold as well.
We felt a rumble and we all looked at each other in fear as cracks started on the wall we were facing.
"Run!!" I yelled as I started running back to the entrance.
Soon hearing the two behind me following. Box in hands.
Water spouted out behind us making us run faster as water started pooling around our ankles and legs.
"This is why we read the warnings!! And listen to them!" I yelled almost tripping still running forward down the the large hallways, my tan leg pants getting wet as well as my black tank top and hair.
"Shut it Lotus!" Both Rick and Evie yell at me, catching up a little.
We came to wall a grate above us as the water is suddenly making us float and flooding in quickly.
"Oh gods!" I said as we held to a grate above us that was giving us air for the small time we had.
"I'm sorry..." Evie said as she held on with us.
Before Rick could respond we were under the water struggling to breath as our air was limited. We looked around for an escape, wiggling the bars above us with all our strength, a fee bubbles escaped my mouth before we heard a smash to the wall beside us and we were suddenly flushed out into the entrance. Alex standing above us looking roughed up and surprised as we breathed in gulps of air.
I looked around at the mess, the wood structure fallen as well as all the pillars, one of them have saved us by ramming into the wall for us. I put my hand over my scar, where my tank top had rolled up to expose it.
I sighed standing up before my friends as they looked around as well.
"I swear I can explain..." Alex started as he looked at us as if he was in trouble.
I sighed again putting my shirt down as I looked down at Rick and Evie. "Why can't we ever have a normal expedition?"
