Skylar's P.O.V.
I woke up in a haze, my head was banging. 'What did I drink and when did I pass out?' I thought to myself. I heard chanting and saw the curator of the British museum and a crystallized.... I actually have no clue what it is, stood in the center of a circle made by the men that attacked us in our house. They started chanting "Wake up and live!" in ancient Egyptian. I hand shot out and then the rest of the body followed. Imhotep let out a roar. 'Uhhh I thought we killed him already' I thought. He and the curator started speaking to each other. The doors opened and a long black haired woman stepped through. I close my eyes for a second and when I opened them she was an Egyptian with markings on her body for a minute until I came back to reality. She was right in front of Imhotep. "Do not be afraid." The curator said, "I am not afraid."

Lock Nah and the curator walked over to the box containing the bracelet of Anubis, and injected some liquid across the seal, that dissolved the metal sealing it shut. "Lord Imhotep will be pleased." The curator whispered creepily. The opened the box and lifted out a statue, I muffled my laughter realizing that Alex must be wearing it and that's why he lost the key. 'Ohhhhhh he's in trouble' I thought. "But he said.... Where is the bracelet?" The curator was dumbfounded, Lock Nah had a look of realization, "I think I know" He replied. Alex was definable in trouble now. The woman said something to Imhotep drawing his attention to me, my eyes widened and he replied back to her. She then clicked her fingers and the men surrounding me stood up and lifted the piece of wood I was on. I tried to get off but with my arms and legs tied it was useless. I had no hidden weapons on me this time, because I mean I was at home I didn't think I'd need any. They brought me over to a giant fire pit. "You wait I'll put you in your grave again I swear on my life you will die" I shout. "I was thinking unless we put you in your grave first" The curator snarkily replied, oh how I wished to decapitate him then and there. Imhotep shout in Egyptian and the woman said it in English "Burn Her!" 'Oh crap' Rick ran screaming jumping over the fire landing on the wood I was on making it fall to the ground. "Rick?" I asked as he lifted me of my feet and onto his shoulder. Gunfire rang through the air and took out many of the men others ran to take cover. Rick cut my bonds and handed me my baby(my gun). Then turned and shot an incoming guy. Rick continued shooting and I soon joined in, Imhotep saw him but Rick just shot him in the shoulder with a buck shot. I pulled him around the corner as a guy was about to shoot. He gave me a nod and we both spun round the corner and started shooting again whilst backing away to the stairs behind us. Rick shot a box marked flammable and it exploded on some of the goons. Using this as a distraction, I ran up the stairs with Rick on my tail. Ardeth continued to cover us whilst exploding more boxes. "Go GO GO!" Rick shouted "You don't have to tell me twice" I replied hurrying up the steps two at a time.

Ardeth came up behind us as we watched as Imhotep picked up a vase and starting chanting, the ash turned into four mummy warriors. "Oh. Not these guys again" Rick and I said in perfect unison, I knew there was a reason I liked him. He's me but a guy version. We ran, no ran is an understatement we sprinted out the doors. A inhumane roar was heard. Once we were outside I started to pull a bench towards the door when Rick ran back to me and said "Sky what 'cha doing? These guys don't use doors." Then he dragged me away by my wrist. We came round the side of the museum to see the car but no Evie, Jonathan or Alex. "Where the hell is Jonathan?!" Rick shouted sounding as confused as I was. A red double decker bus sped round the corner and honked its' horn. "What's the matter with my car" Rick asked as Ardeth and myself got on it. I faintly heard "I was forced to find and alternative form of transportation." 'Oh Jonathan' I thought shaking my heard. "A double decker bus!" "It was his idea" Jonathan pointed at Alex. "Was not!" "Was to" "Just Go!" I shouted, the bus started moving but they were still arguing. Evie came over and hugged me tight. "Umm. E-Evie. It's nice to see you too but I still need to breathe" I gasped dramatically as she let go. Bricks bust out of the side of the museum, good thing I didn't waste anymore time trying to keep the door locked with a bench. I actually have no idea what difference I thought that would make. They ran over Rick's car, crushing it "Awww not my car!" He grumbled. He stared out the window at them "Oh I hate mummies" "Don't we all?" I asked thinking about our last encounter with mummies and Imhotep, I mean come on he kissed me! "Glad to see me now?" Ardeth asked Rick. "Just like old times huh?" He left to go up stairs. Ardeth looked at me, I felt awkward because of our kiss, the last time I saw him, so I turned away, mentally kicking myself for being momentarily weak.
