Visionary Kiss I & II & III

Visionary Kiss II Part 26


HAMUNAPTRA - DAY

The three men came down a ravine in the volcano and looked out over the ruins of Hamunaptra.

"Okay, now what the hell does this Horus guy look like?" Rick was as always a little confused, as he looked over the place.

The hairs on his neck were standing in attention; again he could feel the evil, or better the ancient magic that ruled this place.

"He's a big fellow with pointy ears and a face like a falcon." Jonathan was already walking into the direction of the goal.

"Got it."


HAMUNAPTRA STAIRWAY - DAY

Each of them carrying torches, Ardeth, Jonathan and Rick made their way down a long, winding, narrow staircase.

Ignoring the smell of death and time they were heading into the bowels of the nevropplis, a place that they would later call the passageway to hell.


NECROPOLIS - DAY

This time Evelyn had no interest in her surroundings, what made her not look at all the beautiful illustration that could be found on all walls, as she like Willow and Beni followed Imhotep into the underground cemetery.

The dark haired woman for the first time noticed her surroundings at the sight of all the big hairy rats scurrying through the mausoleum and over the stones.


Beni who had to stop to not walk right into her shoved his rifle into her back and pushed Evey forward.

"Keep moving woman." He was angry but not at Evey, he was angry with himself for his fear. He was afraid of the redhead, of Imhotep and this place and only the hope of all the promised wealth made him move on.

His hissed words made Evelyn gave him a look and before she was able to tell him whightight at this moment she was thinking about the short man she started to giggle at the sight of Willow that not fhe lhe last time hitting Beni from behind.

The English woman was sure that if the witch would furthermore doing this, the last brain cells in his head would stop working.

"You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself get their comeuppance."

At this words the witch smiled at her friend, "Evey don't worry I already told him what his comeuppance will be."

This words spoken from the woman that he feared just like he feared his prince made Beni remember, what she had told him, he looked worried at both woman. Could she possible know the future, was she able to know what would happen to him?

"Yeah?" he tried to sound unimpressed.

"Oh yes, always." Evey said, the look in Willow's eyes told her what would happen to him, she didn't liked it, even if he was a small bug, nobody should die.


If possible Beni looked even more worried now, he nervously started chewing on his lip, his fingers clenching the rifle in his hand.

At Imhotep's call they started to walked over the bridge crossing the disgusting detritus moat.


Evelyn could only look down at it, horrified.


INT. PASSAGEWAY - DAY

O'Connell and Ardeth Bay were busy digging out a collapsed doorway. Both aware of the fact that time was running out and if they wanted to save Evelyn and stop Imhotep in time they had to hurry.

Jonathan looked around; not for a second thinking about helping he noticed an Amethyst scarab on the far wall. His eyes began to shine and he fast walked over pointing at it, "I say, look at that."

He started to jiggle it free and it came loose in his hand.

He looked down onto the scarab in his palm, a happy smile on his face.

For a second the smile faded, he was sure he saw it glow and then something inside it started to wiggle.

"Say, gents! You should come have a look at this."


The wiggling continued; a long agonizing beat, and then the scarab broke out of its cocoon and instantly buried itself into Jonn'sn's palm.

He started to freak out and scream.

Rick, who out of the corner of his eye had seen this, moved fast over and ripped the arm off Jonathan's shirt.

The scarab was now digging his way through the flesh, up Jonathan's arm.

O'Connell whipped out his butterfly-knife, snapped it open and grabbed the arm.

Jonathan's eyes widened in terror as he could only watch how the knife passed in front of his face.


Ardeth Bay was holding him as his screams got even louder, as he was cut open.

After a few painful seconds that felt like hours for the poor English man, Rick's hand flicked something away.

As the scarab hit the floor, it immediately started scurrying back towards Jonathan, as if wanting to finish the job.

Again it was Rick who reacted first, he pulled out his gun and blew away.

BLAM!


INT. CEMETERY - DAY

The gunshot echoed into the cemetery as Imhotep, Evelyn, Willow and Beni stepped to the strange looking altar, where four thousand years ago Imhotep had tried to bring Anck-su-namun back to life.

The priest growled at the sound and angrily reached into a canopic jar.

He pulled out the crushed remains of Anck-su-namun's heart, crushed it to dust in his hand and started reading from The Book of the Dead.

To be stopped by Willow, she knew what he wanted to do and she was not pleased to say at least.

"Stop it. You don't need to do all this."

She looked deep into his eyes, in the hope to find something, anything.

But there was nothing as the mummy pushed her away, hard enough to make her head hit the wall, making tears from pain spring into Willow's eyes.

It would not work, the look in his eyes had her told that much. This had to be the same thing Giles had seen in her eyes, the night she had tried to end the world, but this time it was her and not him.

And she was alone, no coven, no friends and no idea how to shake him out of it. Maybe if they would be somewhere far away from all the dark old magic, the magic that had bound him to his grave, she would have been able to make him think it over.

But here he was, near his goal to bring his love back and in this moment Willow knew that she would not be able to save him.

He still was to far gone, she had betray herself, with the insane hope to be able to save him.

Taking a deep breath she looked up at him, tears now running freely down her face, leaving behind traces on her dust covered cheeks.

"I told you, woman, don't try to stop me." There was nothing good in his eyes, only rage and determination.

Imhotep turned and blew the dust against a mausoleum wall.

And the wall started to come alive.

Evelyn and Beni stared at the wall, both of them wide-eyed.

Two forms emerged from the mausoleum's wall.

Horrific-looking mummified corpses and then she knew that this were two of Imhotep's long dead priests.


They bowed, then turned and moved off down the passageway, making dreadful noises.

Walking away to follow Imhotep's command.

To go and kill O'Connell, Jonathan and Bay.
