| Evelyn was still knocked out from the ethereal. Meela just looked at her and saw the same face she had been seeing for the past 8 years in her dreams and visions. So much hate came to her as she looked at the other woman's sleeping form. Meela could not understand if it was her hate of Anck-su-namun'. This woman had never done anything to her, yet Meela blamed her for all her loss of the past and present. As Meela took a last glance at Evelyn, she smiled and thought, "you shall be no more." As the Red-jais brought the sleeping Evelyn to the storage room in the British Museum, Mr. Hafez and the rest of the red-jais were chanting a spell from the Book of the Dead around Imhotep's rotten corpse. The red-jais put Evelyn's body down hard, and she woke with a start. She looked around and saw the curator from the museum she worked in. "Mr. Hafez," she said startled seeing him there. The group continued to chant until out of the blob in the middle of the circle came a rotten hand. They chanting became quicker, louder. Evelyn confused and scared began looking for a way to escape. Finally, the blob cracked and out of it came Imhotep. One of the red-jais informed Meela of this and a sinister grin came about her face. She heard through the door words mainly coming from Imhotep. The she decided it was time. She opened the door and all eyes were on her. Even the O'connell woman was looking at her. But she didn't care who was looking at her. She continued to walk in the same guarded cat like manner, Anck-su-namun did. She spoke to Imhotep and he somehow dismissed her, but she didn't care. Yet, she saw he had some other plans for her. The events from that night all happened very fast, and now they had the O'Connell brat. The woman escaped and they were on their way to Amh-shere. They had stopped at Karnack. Imhotep now looked like Mohammed except for the lack of hair. She had him back, well some of him. Imhotep was completely different from Mohammed. He had begun to dazzle her by showing her the past and now she understood everything. But what was he doing. Meela felt herself slipping away while somebody else was taking over. It was Anck-su-namun. Meela's soul was still in the body even if Anck-su-namun had taken over. Things were seen with new eyes by Anck-su-namun, but Meela still knew everything even though she was unable to act or do anything. Anck-su-namun was emotionally weaker than Meela because her ignorance of this new time. Sure they shared a soul but because of the rebirth there was thousands of years between them. They now shared a body and the same passion for revenge. After Anck-su-namun had taken over, they left for other cities until they reached Amh-shere. As Imhotep and Anck/Meela reached Amh-shere they saw Evelyn and her brother just outside the temple. Meela/Anck's eyes were brightened. This was their opportunity to make them suffer. When she and Imhotep got close enough, Meela/Anck pulled a knife and stabbed Evelyn/Nefertiri. The satisfaction Meela/Anck both felt was immense. Finally they beat her. As Rick ran out of the temple Meela/Anck saw his desperation to get to his love and both enjoyed the way he suffered. In the same manner that Meela/Anck had suffered when they lost their loves. Meela had been the one who enjoyd the victory the most. With a final wave to the O'Connells, she followed Imhotep inside the temple to receive immunity. Meela/Anck and Imhotep walked into the golden pyramid to wake the scorpion king. Anubis had taken away Imhotep's powers so he could fight as a mortal. Imhotep left Anck/Meela in the entrance and went to call the Scorpion. Meanwhile, Alex and Jonathan had plans of their own. Alex was going to read from the book of the dead, while Jonathan fought with Meela/Anck. "Um, hmm come on wench," said Jonathan clearing his throat and putting up his fists. Meela/Anck turned around to see and when she saw John in the position that he was, she rolled her eyes as if saying, "oh please". "It is time to teach you a lesson," concluded john. She came down the steps and right away threw a hit at him. Her attacks were cat like at this Meela was surprised she never thought she could be able to fight like this with a man. Anck/Meela drew 2 tridents from one of the statue, catching her opponent off guard. All he had to defend himself was the spear of Osiris. They battled and Meela/Anck managed to strike Jonathan. He fell backwards on a wall, and looked at his injury. Meela/Anck's eyes gleamed with happiness at seeing him so susceptible and her being so close to victory once again. She lunged at him, determined to finish her job, when something caught her arm. It was Nefertiri. She said something to her brother and the boy causing them to leave the room soon after. They battled a fierce fight, like the one in ancient Egypt, but surprisingly Nefertiri won. They ran were Imhotep and Rick were, just to see the Scorpion king arrive. It scared Meela/Anck. Things began to unfold so quickly that in an instant Meela saw both Rick and Imhotep hanging from a gap inside the pyramid. Nefertiri rushed to help her beloved to safety. Meela/Anck wanted to do the same for Imhotep but her legs wouldn't move. Imhotep called to her with desperation in his voice. "No," screamed Anck/Meela and ran the other way. "No, I don't wanna go this way," she thought. It was so strange Meela wanted to save Imhotep because she had never had the chance to save Mohammed, but instead Anck-su-namun kept her from doing so. Meela's soul wondered why Anck wanted to flee and leave the man who had given everything for her. But in Anck's soul she was fleeing because she didn't want to die so soon after being back again. It was too soon to lose it all. She also thought that it would be the only way to save both Imhotep and herself. In ancient times he left her to her death in order to save her and now she was trying to do the same. Both women inside the one body were bewildered because neither comprehended the other's reasons. Anck-su-namun finally was able to make the body run but as they did, they heard Imhotep's pleas and soon began a struggle within the body. When Anck finally got the body to turn for the door, she had missed the puddle of scorpions before her. She was now falling, falling to death. As her back went towards the puddle she thought, "Oh, I love you so much and everything was going so good, I always thought..." and with these last thoughts Meela/Anck's world came to an end. THE END |
