His Lotus Bloom: Mummy fanfic

Choices and Twists Come from the Abyss

The group in the Dusenberg vehicle was frantically try to push, scratch, claw, and punch the enslaved people that were trying to grab the group.  Jonathan was desperately trying not to scream like the pansy he was, speeding through the narrow Cairo streets in a frenzy. The group managed to fight off almost all of the boiled and sore zombies but two, who snatched Mr. Daniels. Jean tried to pull him back but it was too late, he tumbled out of the vehicle,  shooting at anything that moved. Rick grabbed Jean back so she wouldn't topple out of the car and grimly looked back at the man who was getting more crowded by the minute. 

"We have to turn back!" Jean cried out, deeply burdened to leave someone behind to such a monstrosity. But everyone just looked at her with guilty expressions as they continued on their journey. 

Mr. Daniels, the fellow American he was, reloaded his gun and continued shooting. All of the sudden the large group stopped and made a semi-circle around him, turning to a partially regenerated mummy in black garments, like Death, Daniels thought sickly. Not being the smartest fellow he shot at the corpse three times. The creature of a man merely looked at him annoyed and dissatisfied. Then Daniels had an idea, he would give a peace offering to appease the fleshy corpse and then perhaps be spared. But no fortune would be given to his poor soul. As soon as Imhotep saw the man shakily pull out the canopic jar and offer it to him he shrieked and finished the poor man off, the slaves not even flinching as they heard the crunch of the body's bones and the body being relieved of its organs.... 

The crew managed to crash the car into a fire hydrant, having to abandon the car they started running, Jean more or less limping behind in the group. She was never much of a runner and her health condition ensured she would never be good at it. Just as they thought things couldn't get worse, they saw a mob of zombified beings come their way again. 

"Sweet cherry cheesecakes." Jean muttered under panting breaths, trying to make sure to stay caught up with the group. Jonathan, finally noticing his sister's haggard appearance, quickly grabbed her arm to stable her and to put  her in the middle of the huddled group. They came to greet a nice, large wall. They were cornered. The slaves kept chanting the name "Imhotep" over and over again. Jean became unnerved when they suddenly stopped and parted. A man walked towards them in black tattered robes with the Egyptian scarab as the emblem embroidered all over the fabric. Jean shivered, remembering the scarabs back in the pyramids all to well. It seemed as if both beings enjoyed taking others lives. 

"Its the creature, he's fully regenerated." the Curator stated on a rather grim tone. The man looked at the group before locking his eyes on the two individuals he was looking for, more specifically her. Jean gulped as the man started closer to the group, generally in the direction she was wobbly standing, her brother holding her up so she wouldn't faint and to guard his twin from the likes of this, creep. The creature started speaking in his native tongue so only Jean and Evie could understand what he was saying. In their translation they could make out that he would spare the group if they went with him willingly. Jean and Evie both looked at each other. Jean was the first to step forward with her head down, her hair shielding her face of despair and defeat. Evie turned to Rick, 

"If he turns me into a mummy you're the first one I'm coming after. And Jean will come after you Jonathan." And with that final statement she went to the man was sneering at her with a look of murder. He roughly grabbed her and gently grabbed his beloved's wrist before shouting to the slaves to finish off the rest of the group. After all, he couldn't leave any untied ends. Both women started shouting particularly Evelyn. Jean was as well but she was also trying to break free so she could run towards her twin. She managed to break out of his grasp but not before he grabbed her around the waist and whispered in her ear, making her lose consciousness.
