----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was woken by the sound of a train whistle. I hear the curator talking, I pretend to still be out.

"When Lord Imhotep last encountered the O'Connells, they sent his immortal soul, to the Underworld. As powerful as he will become, he is still vulnerable. Only with the Army of Anubis will he be invincible. He will need your help." the curator said

He snapped his fingers and I saw a guy in red walk towards the curator and Meela carrying the Book of the Dead. He hands it to Meela.

"Keep this with you always." the curator said

I hear Alex. I sit up prepared to protect my brother. He stops struggling when he sees the book.

"The Book of the Dead," Alex said

Lock-nah sets Alex done.

"What a bright little child," Meela said

She moves over and touches him.

"Your mother must be missing you terribly. If you wish to see her again, you'd better behave." Meela said

I snorted from where I was sitting.

"Alex behave as if," I said

"Lady, I don't behave for my parents. What makes you think I'm going to do it for you?" Alex asked

Lock-nah pushes Alex.

"Silence," Lock-Nah said

Meela grabs his jaw.

"Because your parents wouldn't slip poisonous snakes into your bed while you were sleeping," Meela said

"Even if they did they would not bite a speaker's family," I said

"What?" Meela asked

"Never mind," I said

"Lord Imhotep wishes to meet the boy, and see the girl." the curator said

Lock-Nah pushes Alex forward.

"Now we shall see how brave you are," Lock-Nah said

I follow behind them with a different guy in red following behind me.

"Hey! Watch the suit! Hey!" Alex said

We head towards a different train car. Lock-Nah opens the door and pushes Alex and me into the car. It is decorated in Egyptian artifacts. Lock-Nah goes down to one knee. While Imhotep turns around in black robes and a metal face mask on his face. He steps up so he is only a few steps away from us.

"I know you can understand my little ones. So you must listen carefully because it is you who are the chosen ones, you boy will take me to Ahm Shere and you Amara will open the door." Imhotep said

"What if I don't? What if I get a littlelost?" Alex asked

Imhotep starts to laugh, Lock-Nah looks at us.

"You have strength, little one. You are your father's son. But I know something you don't." Imhotep said

He bends down so he is eye level with Alex. He uses his magic to raise Alex's arm with the bracelet up.

"This bracelet is a gift and a curse. The sands of time have already begun to pour against you." Imhotep said

He flips over an hourglass.
