The Mummy: Rise of Imhotep

The Creature Awakens

That next morning it was unbelievably hot so Zahra decided just to stay in the light clothes. Since Imhotep is here she decided to take Rick up on his offer and join his group for the day. And it will help ensure that they need her warning and not open the sarcophagus.

Securing her weapons on her body she grabbed her dagger and kept it close. Zahra wasn't gonna lie. Ardeth had been on her mind majority of the night. He was different but she couldn't decide if it was a good or bad difference.  Walking up to the camp further up into the ruins she noticed the pained expressions on all three of their faces.

“hungover?”

Evy looked up quickly lightly startled. “please never let me drink again.”

“Cant promise you anything babes.”

After the trio had breakfast and their hangovers were practically gone they made their way down into the ruins. Apparently they had plans to open the sarcophagus.

Walking into the chamber area they all stopped slightly nervous at the note left in the sand. Zahra went along with it not really wanting to get caught and subconsciously hid her hand behind her. Why? Because the note was written in the sand in blood. Of course in ancient Egyptian.

Rick looked to Evy to translate for them. “it says ‘leave or die’.”

Rick stepped forward. “must be those desert guys.”

Zahra sighed inwardly not exactly happy that her message didn't get through to them. Yet like she had thought last night while talking to ardeth, these people went give up so easily.

The guys lifted the sarcophagus up so it was leaning against the wall. Evy was nearly bouncing in anticipation.

“I have been dreaming about this since I was a little girl!”

Rick and Zahra looked at her with weird looks. “you dream about dead guys?” they looked at each other and shrugged when Evy didn't answer then.

“oh the sacred spells have been chiseled off. This person must have not only been condemned in this life but the next.”

Zahra inspected it further. “sounds like a him problem.”

Jonathan who is more anxious about treasure interrupted the girls. “yes yes I'm all tears. Let's see who this chap is shall we?”

Everyone watched in anticipation as Evy used the key and unlocked the sarcophagus. Zahra pulled out her dagger and waited as the boys tried to pry open the lid. Dust shot out, the lid fell to the ground and the mummy jumped out causing everyone to scream.

“I hate when these things do that!” Zahra wanted to know which tombs Evy's been in where the mummies do that. She knew that never happened to her.

When the dust settled everyone got a better look at their friend.

“holy shit.” Zahra said in disbelief at what was I  front of her.

“is he supposed to look like that?” Rick looked between the mummy and Evy.

“I've never seen a mummy look like that before.”

“neither have I. And I've raided quite a few tombs in my life.”

Everyone looked at her until they got a closer look. “he must be over three thousand years old and he's still…..still…”

“Juicy.” the boys said in unison.

Zahra took the time to inspect the lead to see if the stories were true. Rick noticed her looking and grabbed the other twos attention.

“hey what do you make of this?”
