: : Summary : : Ricks POV from when he saves Alex to when Evelyn dies
~
"You know... this... being a dad stuff... is hard." I said, breathlessly
Alex smiled up at me,"Yeah, but your good at it."
Right then I felt my heart melt. What I had told Evelyn right before all this started to happen was true, her and Alex were the only thing that mattered to me. They were my life. Before Evelyn, I had nothing to live for, and if it wasen't for her, I woulden't be alive.
Catching the movement of Evelyn and Jonathan running up to where we were laying on the ground out of the corner of my eye, I looked up ans also noticed Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep advancing on them. Before there was had time to react Imhotep threw Jonathan yards away, easily, like he had done so many times to me. I watched in horror as Anck-Su-Namun thrust a sword through Evelyn.
I was on my feet in a second as Evelyn looked around as if she was still trying to comprehend what just happened. As she started to fall, I made it to her side and gently lowered her to the gound.
"Take, take, take him." I told Jonathan signaling for him to keep Alex back.
Leaning over Evelyn, I moved her hands so I could see how bad it was,"Oh god." I moaned. Knowing right then that there wasen't any hope for her. Tears started running down my face as I looked into her eyes, her crying too.
"What do I do? What do I do?" I was to paniced to think straight. To paniced to do anything... even to save the person who means everything to me.
"Take care of Alex." she told me, having a hard time getting it out,"I... love you."
"No!" she coulden't die. She coulden't leave me. Without her I was nothing. How was I supposed to raise Alex on my own? He was a good kid. Probably ten times smarter than me and just as brave, if not more so. But there was no way I could do it on my own. Not without Evelyn.
She shut her eyes and I felt her body go limp in my arms, I lay there for what seemed like forever, crying over the body my my beloved. I could hear Alex and Jonathan crying behind me and they soon joined my side.
I moved over, to let them say their good-byes. As I stood behind my son, my hand resting on his shoulder reasuringly, I knew what I had to do. I had to kill Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun. Only then could I keep going in life. For what they did to my family, they would pay.
Taking one last look at my wife,"Stay here." I told the two and walked into the pyramid. If I died doing this, then atleast I would get to be with Evelyn agian...
