The Mummy | (Rick X Reader)

Chapter Ten

"Buried at the base of the Anubis." Evelyn says, I turn to O'Connell and he stares back.

"He was either of great importance, or did something very naughty." I dust off the top with the help of O'Connell.

"Well, what does it say?" I squint and read it out loud.

"He, that shall not be named.." O'Connell blows out more sand, seeing a weird key hole shape appear.

"It'll take months, before we can crack open this thing without that key." I turn to Evelyn.

"A key! That was what the man was taking about!" I go to our bags and dig out for something. "Back there, the man with the hook asked for a map and key, at first I was confused but now--it all make sense!" I grab the black circle shape and turn back.

"Hey that's mine." Jonathan says pointing at the little thing. I give him an annoyed look, he raises his hands and backs up. I place the key on the opening, and watch it fit nicely. I smile and look at O'Connell, I stop smiling hearing screams from afar.

We run towards it and see the prisoner man yelling, we split up making our backs touch the wall. He runs into a wall and falls back not moving, we all stay in shock as we decide to head back. I cover myself with a blanket, setting it down on my legs, as we talk about the man.

"He died, but how? He was holding his head like something was in it?" I look over to Jonathan for a response.

"Did you ever see him eat something?" I shake my head, O'Connell then comes back.

"Turns out we aren't the only ones with misfortune, the Americans had three of their diggers die...from melting." 

"What? How?" Evelyn asks.

"Salt acid." I look down, trying to remember if that was part of the myth. "You seem alright?" I turn to him.

"Well, curses don't really get to be proven, but I can remember if it was involved in the Hamunaptra tale." I say, hugging my blanket.

"You don't believe?" I shake my head.

"Well let's see what our warden had." Jonathan states as he grabs his bag. He digs in, but only to yell in pain.

"What! What is it!?" Evelyn screams.

"Just a broken bottle, ah see liquor. Let's have a taste eh?" Evelyn gets excited as I stay put, she turns and whispers.

"You haven't drank since then, have you?" I stay silent, "Well I think it's time." I chuckle as she gets passed the bottle.

"You all wait here, and have this." I get passed a shot gun, I turn and follow making Eve and Jonathan do the same.

I watch as those men from the ship rush again, I shoot some, making sure I watch Evelyn. I tell her to bring me my guns, and she runs back. I continue to shoot until I see Jonathan behind a wall, while a man with a sword comes at him. I grunt and hop over the wall and grab his arm and run away, I turn seeing the man still following.

"Idiot!" I yell, I then see O'Connell. "O'Connell!" Jonathan joins in my yell, we grab his attention and jumps the horse. We go to the side and fall together. I sit up and see O'Connell's gun get hit out of his hand with the mans sword.

I run and roll grabbing my shotgun, I aim the barrel at the mans back.

"We'll stop, no more blood shed. You must leave or die." He raises his arms and I lower the gun, he walk away with his men. I watch as the horses all run away, I tiredly sling the shotgun around mu torso, when turning back I see O'Connell in front of me.

"Y/N.." He grabs my arms examining them. "Are you alright?" He asks while place his hand on my chin, lifting up my head checking for scars.

"I'm fine, thank you." He holds me close, placing a hand behind my arm, we look to the other group. Mr. Henderson watches us and quickly looks away. One man comes up.

"Maybe we should combine forces, for safety." My hand lays on his chest flat, feeling tired.

"Now, I need that drink." I say, and look down. O'Connell leads me away, back to our base.
