Chapter 10

A/n: this chapter is split up into scenes like in a movie and is separated by the stars *

Evie looked around the area of the ancient city that she hadnt seen before ,curiously.

"Keep moving ." Beni said pushing her forward forcefully, making her stumble. She looked back at him before speaking .

"You know nasty fellows such a yourself always get their comeuppance." She finished and Beni laughed before getting serious.

"They do?" He asked for confirmation.

"Oh yes." She said then squinted her eyes and leaned towards him.
"Always." She stated before walking away.
*******************************

Ruby and Ardeth was busy removing stones from a secret passage in one of the tunnels while Jonathan kept telling them which ones to remove. As one ,both Ruby and Ardeth looked at him and gave him death glares.

"Yeah well you got the idea . Chop chop." He said nervously as they turned to finish what they was doing. Jonathan then turned to a nearby wall and plucked a beetle looking jewel off the wall and looked at it.

"Hey guys come take a look at this." He told them, holding the thing in his palm.

Suddenly it cracked open and a scarab came out and dug its way into his skin.
He immediately started screaming and hitting at his arm.

"What?!" Ruby asked alarmed .

"My arm ,my arm !" He told her frantically.

She quickly ripped his shirt to see the bug climbing up to his shoulder.

"Woah!" She said shocked.

"Do something!" He begged her.

"Hold him!" She commanded Ardeth and he grabbed hold of Jonathan tightly. Ruby took out a butterfly knife and flipped it open and dug it into Jonathan shoulder while he protested.

She popped the bug out where it fell to the ground a few feet away. It squealed as it turned back around headed towards them again. Ruby took out her gun and shot it with a loud bang.
********************************

There was a loud bang that sounded like a gun shot , making Imhotep and the other two look up.

"O'Connell." Evie said with a knowing smile.

The mummy took something from one of the jars and blew it in the wall before saying some incantation.

There was a groaning sound and Evie and Beni moved closer curiously. Suddenly the two life sized drawing on the wall came alive from where the pictures were.

"Bembrige cholars never wrote about this?" Evie said backing up slowly from them with Beni.

The two mummies bowed to Imhotep and he returned the gesture before pointing in the distance and giving them commands in Egyptian.

"Kill them. And wake the others!"

********************************
Ruby and the others climbed out of a huge crack in the wall before entering a dark room. She could see one of those Ancient mirrors hanging up high and remembered Evie's trick from last time. She slung her bag and shot gun over her shoulder before reaching for her handgun and aiming it to the mirror. The shot worked and reflected light from outside to inside and Suddenly the whole room was illuminated to show a large room full of gold. From Egyptian statues,to coins, bracelets and everything else imaginable. Ruby looked around with a small shake of her head, impressed while Jonathan gapped at all the gold amazed.

They began to decend the stairs while looking at the gold. "Do you see?...." Jonathan asked in awe.

"Yeah." Ruby responded.
