This story is
written in first (Mia) and Third person
“Alex who is….” Rick stopped in mid
sentence when he saw his old friend Ardeth Bey standing at the door.
“O No there must be trouble,” Alex said.
“I come to ask for a favor,” Ardeth asked
in his accent. Soon Evelyn and Jonathan walked down the hallway to where
everyone was standing.
“What kind of favor….if this has something
to do with mummies…”
“No, no mummies,” Ardeth said cutting off
Rick.
“Come in Ardeth,” Evelyn told him walking
closer to him. He entered the house and a girl about the same age as Alex
walked in behind him. She had on a black robe like Ardeth but no markings on
her face, only on her arm. She had a dark mark on her left hand going from her
thumb to her pinkie, four lines came out, and that was the symbol for a young
Med-jai. She had black spiral hair, and
dark brown eyes,
“You have a kid,” Rick asked looking at
her.
“Yeah Ardeth, good going,” Jonathan said
but soon stopped when he noticed the glares from his sister and brother-in-law.
“That’s what I come to ask you,” he said
pulling the girl in front of him. “You see the Med-jai, my tribe is going to
fight, this group that wants Hamunaptra. I don’t want her there is danger…”
“Sure we will keep her here for you, until
you come back,” Evelyn said. “Why don’t you eat before you leave?”
They all sat at the table. Evelyn looked at
the girl.
“Her name is
“God Ardeth do you ever feed her,”
Jonathan laughed but stopped when he realized he was the only one laughing at
it own jokes.
“Does she talk,” Rick asked, noticing she
hasn’t said a word yet.
“She talks, she will talk soon….”
“What happened to your wife,” Eve asked.
“She did giving birth to Mia, I met her
after the first time Imhotep came back, then when I found out his body was in
England I sent her away,” Ardeth explained.
* * *
Father was getting ready to leave, going
to back to Hamunaptra. I sat on the couch, just watching him, waiting for him
to say something. I was afraid I would never be able to see him again, never to
see his face anymore. He knelt down, eye level to me.
“Take me with you,” I whispered, tears
forming in my eyes.
“I can’t, you know I can’t,” he said
brushing a hair away from my eyes.
“Don’t’ leave me here,” I cried.
“Before you know it I will be back,”
“Please…come back….you have to come back,”
I cried knowing my father might never be back, knowing he could die in battle.
He picked me up giving me a hug, and then walked outside. He looked back one
more time then shut the door behind him.
2 months later
I sat on the balcony reading a Egyptian
book I found in Evelyn’s library is their home, I was waiting for my father to
come to get me, waiting for the cab to pull up and his smiling face at the
door. Then I spotted something, something weird. I ran down the stares running
into Rick.
“Rick look at this,” I said shoving the
book into him. He read over page then ran to Evelyn.
“Eve look….the Egyptians make copies of
the Book of the Dead….”
Soon I went back up to the balcony in my
room. I was told to leave so Rick and Evelyn could talk alone. Alex sat down
next to me smiling. Alex and I had been getting along great; Alex would tell me
stories of what happened to him and his parents at Hamunaptra.
“He isn’t coming back…is he” I asked Alex
who was sitting next to me.
“I don’t know, your guess is as good as
mine,”
“He said he will be back, he lied to me,”
I cried, folding my arms on the railings, I put my head in my arms and cried.
Alex had heard me cry a lot, almost everyday.
“Its is ok, he will be back, he promised,”
he said hugging me; we stayed like that until his mother made him leave.
* * *
Later that night Mia woke up from a loud
banging down stares. She walked down her black robe swaying as she ran down the
steps in the large house. She turned on the lights hoping her father had come
back, but she saw some men wearing white and black surrounding her. One man who
was probably the head commander had something over his face. Mia back up
grabbing a umbrella and swinging at one of the men. Soon Rick, Jonathan, Alex
and Evelyn came running down the stares.
“Mia what are you doing,” Rick asked then
he saw men wearing white and black surrounding Mia.
“You will never see Mia again,” the head
commander said.
Rick ran at them kicking one of the men.
They grabbed Mia and dragged her out of the house.
“Rick….” But she was gone, they took her
away.
“We have to go save her,” Evelyn said.
“No…no way, I am not going back to Hamunaptra,
every time we do, something comes back to life,” Rick said pacing around the
living room.
“Rick, we promised Ardeth, we would watch
her,” Jonathan told him.
“Fine Jonathan and I will go,” Rick told
them.
“Rick…no I am going,”
“Me to,” Alex said as he sat on the couch.
“No Eve, we always go there and you read
some book, or something no.”
“No nothing bad ever came from helping out
a friend,” Eve said.
“Yeah and you also said nothing bad will
come from reading and book and opening a check” Rick stated.
“I won’t read a book, I won’t open a
chest, I won’t touch anything, I promise, I just want to help Ardeth,” Evelyn
said putting her hands put in defense.
“I can’t believe I am going back to
Hamunaptra,” Rick complained as he sat in the little airplane with his son
Alex, Jonathan, and Evelyn. Soon the plane landed and the Med-Ji attacked the plane. Ardeth entered
the plane with his weapon. He brought the weapon to someone neck not realizing
who it was.
“Rick….Evelyn what are you doing here..”
he asked worried.
“Someone captured Mia,” Rick told him.
“And we found out there are more Book of
the Dead, they made copies, I think whoever has Mia wants her because she knows
where Hamunaptra is,” Evelyn told Ardeth.
“That voice, of the head
commander….sounded so familiar,” Rick said as she stepped out of the airplane
followed by Alex, Eve and Jonathan.
“Do those men know she is a Med-jai,” Rick
asked.
“She doesn’t have markings on her face,
only her arm and she had that covered up, she is smart she won’t tell them,”
Ardeth explained, “We must go to
Hamunaptra.” He jumped onto his horse; he gave a horse to Rick, one to Eve and
Alex to ride together and one to Jonathan.
“This is much better than a camel,”
Jonathan said.
The journey was long, but soon the five of
them made it to Hamunaptra, they sat on their horses, on a clift, watching the
mystery men set a camp fire; Mia sat down near the fire two guards on either
side of her. Jonathan saw something in the sand he got off of his horse and
walked over to it, soon he found him self surrounded by the mysterious men.
“Kill him,” yelled a man.
“No, no I know my way around Hamunaptra,”
“He can help us, bring him to where the
girl is,” said a man.
“Where did Jonathan go,” Rick asked.
“There,” Alex yelled pointed down to
Hamunaptra. They saw Jonathan being lead to the fire where Mia was.
“He can keep a watch out for her,” Ardeth.
“Are we going to get Mia back,” Alex
asked. Everyone turned to him; they all knew he liked her.
“Live today…fight tomorrow,”
* * *
The men threw Jonathan into the sand next
to me.
“Jonathan what are you doing here,” I
cried.
“Got caught, old mum,” he said.
“My father, where is he,” I whispered.
He nodded up toward the hill where they
all sat on their horses. I looked over at them
“He is alive,”
Night fell over Hamunaptra. I sat close to
Jonathan incase anything happened.
“Mia?” Jonathan whispered.
“Yeah I am a wake?” I said getting up
“Why do they want you?”
“ They want to kill my father then the
Med-Jai army will crumble, they don’t know I am a Med-Jai, they want to raise Imhotep. They have copies of the Book of the Dead.
They say they will sacrifice me and you.” I whispered to him.
“Bloody hell, you father better get here
tomorrow,”
“Get up,” one of the men yelled as he
pulled Jonathan and I up.
“O right, o right I am up,” Jonathan said
as he pulled his arm away from the man. They lead Jonathan and me into the
ruins of Hamunaptra. They pushed us into a large room, where Imhotep was killed
the first time Jonathan came to Hamunaptra. The man had the book and the key.
“Why is he going to read if they don’t
have the body,” I asked.
“They can raise his sprit and then the
sprit will go into the head commander,” Jonathan said. Then Jonathan and I saw
the key in the head commanders pocket in his long white robe.
“I can get the key. Alex thought me how to
pick-pockets. Jonathan distract everyone,” I said as I slipped away toward the head
commander. Jonathan started yelling and screaming, men ran over to him looking
at him like he had gone mad. I ran over to the head commander and ran into him.
“Where is my father, what did you do to
him,” I yelled and I pulled out the key. He pushed me away and I slammed into
the wall hitting my head, I slipped the key in a pocket my in blacks robe. I
touched the back of my head, blood. Jonathan ran over grabbing me as we started
to run. Soon we lost the men and the head commander
“Wait a minute do you hear that,” I said grabbing Jonathan’s arm
to make him stop walking.
“No,”
Then we turned the corner bumping into
someone. Jonathan and I screamed, which caused the people to scream. A man
stepped forward with his torch. It was Rick. He put his gun down, so did Eve,
Alex and Ardeth.
“Father,” I yelled and ran over to him
giving him a hug. “I missed you,”
“You guys got out easy,” Eve said.
“Yeah a little two easy…” Rick started to
say.
Then we heard the head commander’s voice
yelling to get us.
“I know that voice….” Rick said
“Come on we will go back to the camp sight
with the other Med-Jai, they won’t attack us there,” my father said. We ran out
of Hamunaptra, I looked back hoping I would never have to go back. I sat on the
horse with my father. I didn’t want to leave his side. We finally made it to
the camp. The Med-jai people look at Eve, Rick, Jonathan and Alex, new
strangers.
Soon night fell over the Med-Jai camp. We
all sat by the fire. I sat next to Alex on one side, Jonathan next to my father
across from us and Rick and Eve to the left of us. We where sitting around
eating bread.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” I
said.
“Me either I don’t believe in curses,”
Alex told everyone. Then a gust of wind blew the fire.
“That happens a lot when we are here,”
Jonathan stated.
“
“What” I asked.
“
“How
“He was brought back to life,” I said.
“How,” Alex asked.
“The same way Imhotep came back,” my
father said.
“Those people must of found the book and
key and brought
“So why did they want Mia,” Alex asked.
“I heard them say they wanted to kill the
Med-jai leader then the whole Med-jai would collapse, so by bring me here they
knew Rick and Eve would show up and so would my father,” I explained.
“Do they know you’re a Med-Jai,” my father
asked me staring into my dark brown eyes.
“No,”
“Now what,” Eve asked.
“We need to find The Book of Amen-Ra to
destroy him,” Rick said.
“Where is that at” asked Alex.
“
“So we need to find it,” Rick said.
“How did you get the key Mia,” Ardeth
asked.
“I pick-pocketed it from
Soon Alex and I wondered off from everyone
around the fire. We sat on the sand, I could feel my fathers eye on me, from
where he sat at the camp fire.
“I forgot how warm the desert nights are,”
I said, “
“Yeah I like being here better than
* * *
“I have a feelings Mia and Alex with get
married….I don’t know why” Rick said, “It is a weird feeling.”
“I feel it to,” Ardeth said.
“I thought a Med-Jai can’t marry an
outsider,” Jonathan asked.
“Yes that is true but Rick has Med-Jai
blood…so does Alex,” Ardeth explained.
“That would be good for him, if he marries
her, Mia will straighten him up,” Eve laughed.
“Yes, when she was younger she would beat
all the boys up, rumor around camp was that Mia would be the next leader, but
she can not she is a girl, I am hoping when Mia marries she will have a boy to
take my place,” Ardeth explained.
* * *
Alex and I sat there until we heard the
sound of horses on the desert sand. We both stood up, he was holding my hand. I
looked at my father, he also stood up when he saw the fear in my eyes.
“Alex, Mia come here now,” my father said.
He pulled out his sword and gave me one.
“Here son,” Rick said throwing Alex a gun.
“They are probably here for the key,” I
heard Jonathan say.
“What should I do with it,” I yelled.
“Keep it with you,” my father yelled as
the men that where after the key jumped over the sand dune. They stopped in
front of us.
“We don’t want to fight, we want the key,”
the head commander said. Rick walked over to him and pulled him off of his
horse. The men pulled out their guns. He pulled off the mask and saw
“Well if it isn’t my buddy
“I want the key….we will give you two days
to give it to us, if you don’t we will come and kill Mia,” he said, as he
pointed to me my father pushed me behind him.
Then his men and him road off into the
dark night.
Soon everyone was sleeping around the
fire. Rick was talking to my father.
“I am going to send Mia back to
“I don’t think you should, you should let
her stay, your always sending her away,” Rick said defending me.
“But I do not want her to get hurt,”
Ardeth said.
“When you die she will be here without
you, how is she going to defend herself, if you always send her away. I think
you should let her stay, she will be save with, you, me, Eve, Alex and Jonathan
around to watch her.”
“Ok, I will keep her here,”
Rick noticed I was awake a winked at me. I
smiled at him and mouth “thank you” to him.
“Aredth why did you leave Mia with us,”
Rick asked my father.
“My tribe was fighting a group, but we
killed them all a few days before you arrived,” He explained. “I was getting
ready to come back to
“I am glad I got to see you again….I was
wondering what happened to you,”
“I wanted to come to
“That’s odd,” Rick said.
“Well we better get some sleep, good night
my friend,”
“Good night,” Rick said getting into his
sleeping bad. Soon day would come and our journey would begin.
I got up the next morning before anyone
else. I sat on a sand dune close to the fire. I wanted to watch the sunrise;
the desert sunrise was nothing like
“Morning,” Alex said. I didn’t say
anything. I could feel his eyes on me. “Do you remember your mother,” he
suddenly asked.
“No, she died when giving birth to me,” I
told him. “I was told by the Med-Jai that I look like her, father said I have
her eyes and long curly black hair. He said I got her smile. He alwayed loved
her smile.”
“How did Ardeth meet your mom,” Alex
asked.
“He said he met her at our camp a little
father down, where all the women, children and men who aren’t fighting stay. He
said it was love at first sight,” I explained.
“Do you believe in love at first sight?”
“Yes,” I said as I blushed. I look at
Alex. His eyes fell on my lips. He leaned in, so did I.
“Get a room,” Jonathan said before Alex
and I could kiss.
Soon everyone was up, Rick and my father
where getting guns, and swords together.
“Are we going to battle again,” Eve asked
as she walked over to us.
“Where are we going,” I asked.
“We are going to the
“Why,” I asked.
“The Egyptian book you where reading said
were the copies of the Book Of the Dead where….so we need to go to the museum
and find the Egyptian book that says where the book of The Book of
Amen-Ra,” Rick said as he put a gun in
his gun holders.
“Then we are going to Hamunaptra, to
destroy Beni, so he can not unleash the creature we feared for more than 3,000
years back to life,” my father said, anger in his voice. Rick threw his son a
gun, and threw me one to.
“I can not shot, I don’t know how,” I told
him as I held the gun.
“Just point and shot,” Rick instructed. I
looked at my father then we both looked at Rick.
“What,” he asked. We shoke our head then
Rick and my father went back to what they where doing.
We finally made it to the
“The Book is called the secrets of
Amen-Ra,” Eve said as everyone started to look through books.
“I don’t get why they want to raise him
again,” I asked sitting down in a chair throwing the key up and catching it.
“Because
“Mia stop playing with that,” Eve yelled
at me. My father glared at me and I put the key back in my pocket of my black
robe.
I started to get bored, there where a
million of book, and they weren’t in order. So I decided to look around the
museum. I entered one room that had ancient artifacts of the Med-Jai. I looked
at a statue of a fake Med-jai he had the Med-jai markings and the sword. Then I
heard footsteps behind me. I grabbed the sword from the fake Med-jai and became
to walk around some more. I tuned to look at something else when I felt someone
hands on my shoulder. They spun me around and I stared into the eyes of
“It is a surprise to see you here,”
“No,” I snapped. His face became angry. I
backed into something and it came crashing down to the ground making a loud
noise that echoed throughout the museum.
* * *
Ardeth turned around taking a break from
looking at the books. He didn’t see his daughter anywhere.
“Where is Mia,” he asked.
“I got it,” Jonathan said holding up the
book, and then everyone heard a crash in the distance.
“I bet that’s where Mia is, come on,” Rick
said taking out his gun.
*
* *
I kept running, hoping to lose the men and
“Mia, it is me,” I head the familiar
native accent. The I noticed Eve, Jonathan, Alex and Rick standing next to my
father.
“
Then I saw
“We will be back O’Connell, and we will
get you Mia and the key,”
“What does it say,” I asked leaning over
Eve.
“You’re wearing the floor out,” Rick said.
So Jonathan stopped and moved a step to the left and started pacing again.
“I got it The Book of Amen-Ra is in a
passage way, the place where Imhotep sprit was taken away, where he tried to
sacrifice me, there is a passage there, where the book is kept.” She finally
said.
“Ok, then we must hurry, before someone
else finds the book,” my father said, so then it began the journey that will
change my life forever.
I looked over the horizon at Hamunaptra,
we where back, the place I never wanted to see again. I was sitting on the
horse with Alex, he could feel me shaking.
“It is ok Mia, I won’t let anything bad
happen to you,” he said trying to comfort me.
“Ok Mia and Alex stay close to Rick and
I,” my father told me eyeing me, he new I like to wonder off sometimes.
We tied our horses to a poll and started
our journey inside Hamunaptra to find the Book of Amen-ra. We made our way down
a dark hall-way. Rick was leading the way with a torch, and I was standing next
to him. Then we head the sound of bugs. I turned around bumping into Alex.
“What was that,” I asked.
“Bugs,” Alex told me.
Then a dirt patch opened up and million of
Scarabs came flooding out toward us. Of course I never seen anything like this
and didn’t know they where flesh eaters.
“Come on Mia,” Alex said pulling my hand.
The Scarabs where right at my feet. Alex, Jonathan and I went down a different
hallway getting separated from everyone else. Still the Scarabs where after us.
We jumped onto a platform and the bugs rushed past us like water.
“O no,” I said.
“What,” asked Jonathan.
“Out of Rick, and my father, we where
stuck with you,” I joked. Jonathan began to laugh then stopped when he realized
I had just made fun of him.
“Hey…”
“Come on lets go find the others,” I said
jumping off of the platform.
“We are lost,” I said as Jonathan, Alex
and I leaned against the wall.
“No we are not,” Alex said.
“Then how come I am not with my father,
how many times have you guys been here, twice and you still don’t know your way
around,” I yelled. Then the wall we where leaning against giveaway and all
three of us fell on the ground, then we began sliding down, it was like we
where on a slide.
*
* *
“Do you hear that noise,” Rick asked.
Ardeth, Eve and Rick had made it to where Imhotep had been killed the first
time but they still couldn’t find the secret passage. Ardeth pulled out his
sword and Rick pulled out his gun. Then were the where facing the wall opened
up like a door and three screaming people flew out.
“Mia, Alex, Jonathan what happened,” Eve
asked shocked.
“Scarabs, split up, door, slide, you,”
Jonathan tried to spit out.
“Help us find the room with the book,”
Rick told the three people lying on the ground. Ardeth went over and helped his
daughter up.
“Stay close to me,” he hissed. She never
seem him this mad before.
*
* *
We walked deep into the city of
“How come there is a staircase leading to
a wall.” I asked my self.
I started to walk to a section of rocks.
They where tablets with Egyptian writing on it. The tablets talked about
Mummification. The tablets weren’t that big about the same height has me. I
touched one and they all fell over, a chain reaction, like dominions. It made a loud noise and echoed through the
room. (Think of in the Mummy when Eve
knocked the book shelves over)
“Mia stop fooling around,” Rick yelled, he
was more like a father that someone my father knew. Then I came to another way,
it had pictures of
“The key,” I whispered. I pulled the key
out and wrapped my figures around the
edge, the way Alex had showed me how around the camp fire. It opened up and I
saw the star shape. I put it the whole and turned it. I heard rattling. The
walls shoke and I fell to the ground. Little rocks started to fall to the
ground. Rick and my father turned to look at me.
“Ops” I said.
“What did you do,” Rick yelled but soon
stopped when he saw the wall where the staircase leads to open up.
I pulled the key out and put it back in my
pocket.
“Stay there,” my father instructed me.
Rick and my father entered the secret room, then game out with the
copy of the Book of Amen-ra. Then I felt someone behind me, before I could turn
around they put a sword to my neck when I screamed.
Rick, Jonathan, Eve, Alex and my father
rushed over.
“Let the girl go,” my father yelled.
“No, the book,”
Eve put the book behind her back.
“The book or she dies,”
“The key,”
“We don’t have it, now let her go you go
the book,” Rick yelled.
“No,”
“Kill them all,”
“Read it,” she yelled as she tried to
fight off the man.
“I can’t read it that good” I yelled.
“Just read it,” she yelled as she kicked
at the man,
I ran to a corner so I wouldn’t be
attacked.
"Rashi
moulo kashka tochim…” I yelled but got stuck on the last word. Then one of
“Get the book,” I heard
"Rashi moulo kashka tochim…” I yelled but stopped I still didn’t know the
last symbol.
“I can’t figure this last symbol out,” I
yelled.
“What does it look like,” Jonathan yelled
as he helped Eve out I saw Rick and my father fighting off more of his
“A bird…..a stork….” I yelled.
“Amelophous!" Eve and Jonathan both
yelled.
“O yes now I see…” I said
“Mia hurry,” Alex yelled.
“Rashi moulo kashka tochim
Amelophous!" Then
My father rushed over and touched my neck,
it was still bleeding. He closed the book, and threw both books into the water.
Then he put the key in his pocket.
“Lets get out of here,” Rick said, as he
checked on his wife and Alex. We ran out of Hamunaptra, I didn’t know why until
later. Rick, Eve and Jonathan didn’t want to get stuck like they almost did
when Hamunaptra went under ground. But it never did, when we went to our horses
Hamunaptra was still standing.
My father got up on his horse.
“Mia and I will be heading back to camp,”
he said.
“Yes we will be heading back to London
now, it was great seeing you again, and meeting you Mia, hopefully next time
you just come for a visit,” Rick laughed as he jumped up on the horse, Eve got
on with him. I looked at Alex.
“Will I ever see you again,” I asked him
looking up into his eyes.
“You can count on it…I will be waiting for
you” he said and he leaned in to kiss me on the check. Then he mounted up on
his horse, Jonathan sat on the horses next to him. My father gave me his hand
and helped me up with him. Then we felt a gust of wind blow through our hair,
making our robes sway like a flag.
My father pulled out his sword and Rick
pulled out his gun. There high in the sky was Imhotep’s sprit.
“You might have beaten us this time, but
soon I will be released again…because Death is only the Beginning….” Then his
sprit dispersed into Hamunaptra and the city started to go under the sand. Soon
after the clouds of dust dispersed we saw nothing, only sand, for miles. But
all we could hear was Imhotep’s last words.
“Death is only the Beginning…”
