Reincarnation: The Mummy Fanfic

Camel and Clothes

Heather's POV

We reach the town the next day. Rick said he and Jonathan would get us camels. So I take Evie to a shop for new clothes. As we both need them. As soon as we enter the women start to fawn over us and one kept calling me a priestess. Which is strange, but I do have an Egyptian heritage on my mother's side.

"No, please dress my friend first" I tell the women pointing to Evie. They bow their heads and take Evie to another room while I browse through the clothes. I settle on a purple outfit and go change. I reenter the main room to see Evie dressed like an Egyptian princess. "You look lovely Evie" I tell her smiling.

"So do you" she tells me smiling. One of the women approaches me holding another dress. A white version of Evie's.

"Oh no, I'm fine with this" I assure her.

"She should dress like a priestess" the woman tells me in Egyptian.

"I am fine, how much for my friend and my clothes?" I ask her in Egyptian.

"For you high priestess, it is free and I insist you take this dress also" she tells me.

"You are to kind, thank you" I say bowing my head. "May Isis protect you and your people" I tell her. She smiles broadly at me and bows. The other women do the same and I look at Evie.

"I didn't know you spoke Egyptian" she says.

"It always came easy to me" I tell her shrugging. "We should rejoin our brothers" I tells her. The women insisted on escorting us. They leave though when we find Jonathan and Ric with five camels. "What a beauty" I say taking the reins of one.

"Her name is Safiya" Ric tells me. He helps me mount her and then helps Evie. I can tell he is smitten and smile. He deserves a beautiful strong woman, like her.

"So which way O'Connell?" the warden asks him.

"Follow me" Ric says and leads us into the Sahara desert. "It'll take a few days to reach Hamunaptra" he tells us.

"Great, more sand" I grumble and he chuckles.

"Never did like camels. Filthy buggers. They smell, they bite, they spit. Disgusting" Jonathan complains and I roll my eyes. My camel is walking beside Evie's.

The warden savagely attacks a chicken wing with his vile green teeth. Flies buzz around his head. He sucks at his gums, then spits out some gristle. "Yeah, disgusting" Ric agrees with Jonathan.

"Well I think they're adorable" Evie states patting her camel.

"I agree" I say smiling as I pat Safiya. Evie and I are having the time of our lives on our camels. I always did prefer camels over horses.

We continue to travel through the Sahara. Evie and I are now either side of Ric. I'm start to feel tired and I can see Evie is too. I fall asleep putting my head on Ric's shoulder.

Third Persons POV

Jonathan is sound asleep, his head bobbing comically to the rhythm of his camel. On the camel next to him, the Warden snores loudly. Up in front of them, Evelyn slowly starts to slide off her saddle. O'Connell reaches over and stops her, then gently pushes her back up onto her saddle, never waking her.

For a long moment, his eyes watch Evelyn, and then he looks up at a distant ridge where Ardeth Bay and a group of Medjai riders are watching them. "Why does the priestess let them go to Hamunaptra?" a warrior asks Ardeth.

"She does not ye know her roll in making sure the creatures remains dead. When the time is right, she'll do her duty to Isis" Ardeth assures the warrior.

"What of her other duty?" another warrior asks him.

"She still has a few years, before she has to worry about that" Ardeth states. As the leader of the Medjai that were ordered to assure the creature remains dead. Ardeth Bay is Sha'uri reincarnations fiance. It is to assure that the Medjai warriors remain strong. But he'd never force himself on a woman. Though the new priestess of Isis is beautiful, like her ancestor.

Ardeth Bay looks down at the sleeping reincarnation of the last Priestess of Isis. He is a little jealous that she sleeps so soundly on another mans shoulder. Not knowing that the man is her adoptive brother. But he only wants her to be happy, if the man made her happy. Ardeth would let her go.
