The Miscalculation

Chapter 7

"Yeah, yeah. I already heard this part. From the minute I put the bracelet on, seven days do I have before the Scorpion King wakes up." Alex said

"Did you also hear that if you do not enter the pyramid before the sun strikes it on that very morning that the bracelet will suck the life out of you?" Imhotep asked

"That part I missed," Alex said

"Seeing as it came from a Medjai I'm not surprised he left something out," I said

"Hey, wait a minute. That means I've only got five days left." Alex said

"Then I believe it will be best if we do not get lost. Don't you?" Imhotep asked

"My dad is going to kick your ass, and so is my sister," Alex said

Imhotep takes off his mask showing his true face, his mummy face. Alex gasps and takes a step back.

"I do not think so," Imhotep said

He raises his hand and Lock-nah grabs Alex and pulls him out of the room. I go to flow but Imhotep stops me.

"Alex, if they hurt you. You know what to do." I said

Alex nods and they leave.

"I have to take care of something. Go stand in the back of the car." Imhotep said

I rolled my eyes but moved to the back. I see Meela open the door and three men walk in carrying the chest that the Americans had found 6 years ago.

"In here, gentlemen, you shall receive your just rewards," Meela said

"No tricks now, woman. We're not giving up this chest till we're satisfied" the short fat one said

The three men are now away from the door.

"Oh, don't worry. There is much satisfaction to be had." Meela said

Imhotep then made himself known. There is a weird swopping noise. Meela then steps out and shoots the door.

"What's going on?" the short fat one said

He pulls out his gun.

"This place is cursed." said the one with an accent

"What is it with you and curses?" the short fat one said

"He ain't happy without a curse. This is cursed. That is cursed." the tall skinny one said

"Give it a rest, will you." the short fat one said

There is another weird noise, and the three men all scream.

Muggles are such babies. -Tom

Come on you wouldn't be scared if a 3,000-year-old mummy was about to suck you dry.

Okay, I might be a bit scared. -Tom

Imhotep then comes down from the top of the car. The short fat one starts to shoot at Imhotep as does the one with an accent. The tall skinny one just bangs on the door. Meela opens the eye hole.

"He wants you to open the chest! Open the chest!" Meela said

The tall skinny one runs over the chest and opens it. They look at the chest and Imhotep disappears. The two that didn't open the chest each pull out another gun.

"Where'd he go? Where'd he go?" the short fat man said

They look around, and Imhotep drops from the ceiling and starts with the tall skinny one. He sucks him dry causing the short fat one to yell out his name.
