"Take my hand, and I will spare your friends." Beni translates..correctly. Imhotep gives a hand out, waiting for me to take it.

"Any ideas..." Evelyn whispers to O'Connell.

"I'm thinking...I'm thinking..." He says gripping the torch.

"It's me, we don't have any other options, do we?" I turn to O'Connell, his expression worries. "If I turn into a mummy, you're the first one I'm coming after." I say, walking up to Imhotep, talking his hand into mine.

"No." O'Connell takes his gun out, aiming at him.

"Don't!" I say, Imhotep cuddling me close to his body. "He still has to take me to Hamunaptra to perform the ritual." The leader puts down O'Connells gun.

"She's right, live today, fight tomorrow." He slowly places down his weapon, eyes locked with mine, but shifting to Imhotep.

"I'll be seeing you again." He coldly states, Imhotep smirks and takes me away. I continue to stare at O'Connell, knowing what will happen to me.

"I started this." I smile weakly at him.

"Y/N." He says, being held back by my brother and sister. He struggles to let go, making the leader hold him back as well, my eyes still on him. Imhotep then screams, making me realize what he said.

"No!" I yell out of pain, I struggle to release myself from his grasp, the crowd starts to move. Kill them all...no I can't let this happen. "Let me go!" I struggle more, I turn seeing the crowd corner them more and more, Imhotep then takes me away for good.

We turn into a dark corner, as Beni catches up with us. I look around seeing no other way to leave, besides the path Imhotep is blocking. Beni then runs over, standing next to Imhotep. Imhotep points to me, and Beni nods awkwardly, moving his body next to mine. I shuffle away from him as he gets closer. We both awkwardly look at one another, only to see Imhotep close his eyes. 

Beni and I slowly back away, seeing his arms raise, like he's getting his power stronger. I lean a bit to Beni, whispering.

"You've been with him, all this time, and you're still not knowing what's happening?" He starts shaking like a wet dog, as we hear wind noise rise. 

"He barely speaks, I am mostly a translator, so of course I still have to be afraid." He bickers as Imhotep opens his wide mouth.

"Fair enough, I assume." I say tilting my head. "Well, how do you move location to location?" I ask, to which Beni points to the sky.

"Sand storm...." I start looking above Imhotep, seeing sand being spread around. 

My fears grow more and more, watching Imhotep turn into sand, using the wind for more strength. Imhotep disappears completely, into a pile of sand, as wind blows everything else away. I take the shot and try to run, until Beni holds me back by the arm.

"I wouldn't do that, if I were you." He states, I shove my arm away annoyed, and start hitting him.

"It is very inappropriate to touch a women by force!" I yell in between hits, he flinches as I stop.

I turn back to Imhotep, seeing the storm build. I cover my face from the sand hitting me, I try to look only feeling it surround Beni and I. Once I get a good look I notice us in the storm, I start floating in the middle, unable to shift my body, I grunt and groan struggling.

"O'Connell!" I yell, unable to see, feeling cold.
