I

1925

Three years.

Three years since I had seen my brother and sister.

You might be thinking, 'how could you do that!'

I have reasoning, I was going to school and working with historians in America.

See? I wasn't just blatantly ignoring them.

Anyways back to the present.

I walked into the empty museum. Now where was my dear sister?

I heard a loud crash come from the library. I rushed over to the library and through the doors to see all of the bookshelves falling over and my sister was in the smack center of it all. Once they had all completely fallen I laughed and slowly clapped my hands together. My sisters head snapped towards me.

I made my way through the fallen book cases as she jogged towards me.

"Arianna!" She yelled as I made my way to her and she crushed me in a hug.

I smiled as I hugged my younger sister. We pulled away from one another as the curator screeched.

"Look at this! Sons of the Messiah! Give me frogs, flies, locusts! Anything but this! Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!" He screamed at Evie.

Evelyn's eyes widened as she began to pile books into her arms as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I'm sorry it was an accident." Evie stuttered, the curator scoffed.

"When Ramses destroyed Syria, it was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Why do I put up with you?" The curator yelled, I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You put up with her because she is the only other person, besides myself, who can read and write ancient Egyptian, decipher hieroglyphics and hieratic perfectly. An she's the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly code and catalogue this entire library." I said protectively.

He glared at me, we never quite got along.

"Who needs smart women? I put up with her because your mother and father were our finest patrons. Allah rest their souls. Now straighten up this mess!" He said before walking off to his office.

Evie was fuming, I placed a hand on her back and rubbed up and down to calm her down. She looked at me with a sad smile before briefly hugging me.

"Don't you worry sister, he's always acted like he has a stick up his ass." I said giving her a smile, Evie laughed.

"I missed you Ari." She said happily as she smiled at me.

"I missed you too Evie." I said hugging her once more.

The two of us pulled away from one another as a crash rang out from another room. We looked at one another before walking towards the source of the noise.

"Hello?" Evie questioned as we walked into a gallery.

I placed a hand on the pistol on my hip. We walked into the dimly lit room.

"Abdul? Mohammed? Bob?" Evie called out nervously.

I saw the ancient artifacts glimmering as we walked past them as we heard another noise from the corner of the room. I stepped in front of Evie as we walked towards it cautiously. I looked up and saw that the statues of Anubis and Horus were seemingly staring at us.

We passed a few closed sarcophagus', before we came across an open sarcophagus. I briefly looked at Evie as she nervously stood next to me. We both froze at the sight. She peered inside with the torch. I heard her gulp as she held her torch near the sarcophagus. Suddenly a disgusting rotted mummy sat up and screeched at the two of us. My eyes widened as Evie screamed, I heard laughter ring out.

Jonathan.

I lightly laughed as Jonathan sat up laughing his ass off, he was obviously somewhat drunk. Evie scoffed as she smacked his arm.

"You-You!" She screamed at him.

"Goddammit Jonathan." I said with a grin as I took my hand off my gun.

Jonathan smiled at me before he rolled his eyes atour younger sister,
"Drunkard? Fool? Rat-bastard? Please sister come up with something original!"

I pulled the cigarette out of the mummy's mouth as I threw it on the ground. I lightly glared at him as I said,
"Really Jonathan? Have you no respect for the dead?"

"Right now I only wish to join them!" He scoffed, I smiled at my idiotic brother.

"Well I wish you would do it sooner than later, before you ruin my career the way you've ruined yours." Evie said pissed still.

"My dear sweet baby sisters, I'll have you know, that at this moment my career is on a high note." He said to us, Evie and I looked at one another and rolled our eyes.

"High note? Jonathan I've been gone three years and your career is the same level it was when I left." I scolded him.

"Even if you did what do you have to show for it? Nothing!" Evie said dramatically.

All of the sudden Jonathan got ver excited as he hurriedly searched his jacket,
"Oh yes I do! Right here!"

I groaned as Evie said,
"No, not another worthless trinket you want me to try to sell to the curator for you-"

Evie stopped mid sentence as Jonathan pulled out an ancient looking box. He grinned at me as I carefully took it from his hands. I looked at him questioningly as I asked,
"Where did you get this?"

He grinned sheepishly as he said
"On a dig, down in Thebes."

I rolled my eyes a his blatant lie. I quietly talked to myself as I translated the hieratics and hieroglyphics that covered the artifact.

"My whole life I've never found anything. Tell me I found something." Jonathan said hopefully.

I messed with the shifts on the box, continuously shifting them this way and that way. Suddenly the box opened up almost mechanically, turning itself into a key like object. I noticed that sitting inside of the box was an ancient looking map. I delicately pulled the map out with a smile on my face.

I looked up at my siblings as they looked at me hopefully. I smiled at Jonathan as I said,
"Jonathan, I think you found something."
