Reincarnation: The Mummy Fanfic

A Journey?

(1926 Cairo) Heather's POV

My name is Heather Jones and I am the best friend of one Rick O'Connell. When he turned eighteen, he adopted me as his little sister. Three years ago he brought me to Egypt. But he left with an army to search for some hidden city in the dessert. He never returned.

So I made a life for myself in Cairo. Got into a high school have the old apartment still. Right now I'm currently reading a book on Seti the first for my history project. Which is an essay on the old kingdom. Turns out he was murdered by his mistress and high priest. Poor sucker.

Anyway I was quiet happy studying in my quiet apartment when there was a knock at my door. I frown looking up from my books. I wasn't expecting anyone tonight. Though I am meeting a librarian tomorrow at the museum to ask her about Seti the first. In fact she gave me the book on him.

I get off my bed and head for the door. I look through the key hole and frown when I see no one there. I unlock the door and open it. "I thought I taught you not to open the door to strangers" a familiar voice says behind me.

I turn around quickly to see a deshelved man with long brown hair and blue eyes. "Rick?" I ask shocked and hug him tightly. Then pull back and slap him across the face. "Three years, three year ago you abandoned me and now you just show up. No calls or letters" I snap.

"Look, I'm sorry Heather" he says rubbing his sore check.

"You should be sorry" I tell him annoyed crossing my arms. "I was left stranded in an unknown country, not knowing their language. I had to get myself into school and find a way to get money for myself. I had no one" I say pouting.

"Well I'm back now and won't leave you again" he tells me. "Do you have any of my old clothes?" he asks.

"Yeah, in your old room and be sure to shower as well. You stink bro" I tell him smirking. He rolled his eyes and went to his room. Honestly it was lucky I was even able to keep the old apartment. He'd left me a lot of Egyptian money and I've been taking odd jobs since I started school. Lucky I got a scholarship, so I didn't have to pay for school or my books. As long as I kept my grades up, which I have.

Anyway I went to put my books away and changed into pjs. Before making Rick and I a cup of tea each. "So where have you been?" I ask as we sit down after he cleaned up.

"In the dessert, my whole squadron was killed. I managed to survive and it took me a long time to get back here on foot. I arrive about a week ago and was thrown into prison after starting a bar fight. I was going to be hanged before I was saved by a girl and her pick pocket of a brother" he explains.

"What did they want in return?" I ask him.

"I promised to take them to Hamunaptra" he states and I spit out my tea putting my cup down.

"The city of the dead?" I ask him shocked and he nods his head. "I thought it was a myth" I state.

"So did I. All I can tell you, miss, is that my Colonel found a map in an ancient fortress. The whole damn garrison believed in it so much, that without orders, we marched halfway across Libya dessert and into Egypt to find that city. And all we found was sand & blood" he explains.

"So you were actually there?" I ask.

"Yes and I promised to take them there & return them here safely" he states.

"Well I'm going to" I tell him firmly. "You left me once and I nearly lost. I'm not going through that again Rick" I state.

"Fine, but stay beside me. I don't want to lose you" he says hugging me.

"Great, when do we leave?" I ask him.

"Tomorrow morning, there's a boat ready for us" he states. "So go pack and get some sleep. Bring that dagger I gave you" he tells me. I nod my head and go to my room after brushing my teeth. I packed my travel bag and went to bed.
