A part of Krista couldn't help but feel sorry for the mummy, "So he awakens after 3,000 years to find not only his wife's look alike but she just so happens to be pregnant as well. That explains why he keeps referring to my belly as Abraxes. Fate su...

Cairo, Egypt 1926
Krista O'Connell was huddled in the corner of the library, going over some letters that Dr. Bay had requested she translate. From where she was sitting she could faintly hear her sister muttering to herself, it sounded almost as if the girl was speaking to the books and it was all Krista could do to keep herself from laughing, Evy would not appreciate that at all.
"T...Tuthmosis? What are you doing here?" She heard Evy mutter to herself once more then there was silence until she heard a soft cry, "Help."
There was a light scream, then thump. Krista finally looked up from the paper she was translating to see the large bookcase hurtling towards her. She had just enough time to scramble out of the way before the case came falling to the ground hard.
Both she and Evy stood back as they watch in stunned disbelief as every bookshelf in the library fell over, tumbling down like domino. When the dust had finally settled and there was no more bookcases falling, Krista looked over to her sister in shock.
"Oops." Evy whispered to herself as she too looked at the destruction she had caused.
There was a gasp from the entryway and both girls' heads snapped towards the sound. At the sight of Dr. Bay, the museum's curator, Krista knew that Evy was in for a tongue lashing.
"Uh, oh." Krista whispered and Evy shot her a dirty look.
Dr. Bay slowly walked further into the library and glanced around at the mess in horror. Krista couldn't help but feel sorry for the man, this museum was his pride and joy and at the moment his library was in ruins. Finally after scoping out the place, Dr. Bay's eyes came to rest on the sister, or more accurately, Evy.
He sent her a glare so hard that the gods themselves would fear, "Look at this! Sons of the Messiah! Give me frogs, flies, locusts! Anything but you! Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!" He yelled as walked even closer to the girls.
Evy looked like a kicked puppy as she bowed her head, "I'm sorry, it was an accident."
Dr. Bay shook his head, "My dear girl, when Ramses destroyed Syria that was an accident. You are a catastrophe!" He finished off with a yell.
Krista cut in, "Dr. Bay, I think you're being a bit too hard on Evy. She didn't mean to do this." Evy just sent her a glare for her attempt to help diffuse the situation.
"Why do I put up with you?" he questions with a sigh.
Evy looked up with an indignant frown, "You put up with me, because I can read and write ancient Egyptian, decipher hieroglyphs and hieratic, and I'm the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly code and catalogue this library."
Dr. Bay scoffed, "Oh please, your sister can do all of this as well. I put up with you because your mother and father were our finest patrons, Allah rest their souls. And because I greatly respect your sister and she vouched for you, Allah knows why. Now straighten up this mess!" And with that he stormed out of the library and Evy quietly moved to begin collecting the book from the ground.
