THE MUMMY by Gui Mwamba (books for new readers txt) 📕

 CHAPTER SEVEN

                             FORGOTTEN
 Devoir opened the textbook called Cursed and read it as Kenworth watches in horror. "O ye sacred nature insects of the night awaken; awaken and worship your Queen: for here she comes back from the dead. Nefertiabet awakened - awakened - awakened so we might worship you." Devoir paused.  At that moment Devoir finished reading it, the pyramid that we were in shook and the ground swallowed itself at the point it exploded.

     Fatale deadly insects popping out of it. I mean all kinds of insects which jump on Pierre Du Devoir's henchmen with him and ate their flesh from inside out as we heard they're loudly wailing. We watched ourselves being surrounded by insects and none of them came near us. "Huh, what? What's going on? Why are these scarab insects attacking us?" I puzzled. "Well let's see," Kenworth added. As he marched up towards where the Cursed book fell with its key and pick up. 

    "Ah, seem like he has Nefertiabet's royal blood running through our veins," Kenworth replied. "What? I don't understand?" I doubted. "Well, Nat and Imani Kenworth are my granddaughters and Nerfertiabet is my great-grandmother," Kenworth announced. Elsewhere within the darkest grave chamber, the mummified Nefertiabet awaken with the loudest roared sounded that echoes through the old and webby hallways.

 All four of us were startled for a moment, as we continued within the hallway of Nerfertiabet’s pyramid. The first plagues that happened just like in the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible occurred. Well, of water turned to blood all over Nubia. Every well through towns, cities, villages and very part river and streams were affected. People died after they have drunk it water. 

   Elsewhere scarab beetles did their way out the good soil. Where every people saw they scattered everywhere, while two men tripped and fall and were eaten by scarab beetles from inside out. After they were digging their way out when they have popped out of Nerfertiabet’s graveyard. Only the screams you can hear that echo and fades through the old and webby caves’ hallways. 

 Within Nerfertiabet’s grave chamber, some archeologist man with his henchmen were digging for gold and studying ancient mummies with Nubian’s ancient scriptures. Somewhere, university students, we're digging with their pointy and sharp tool, and their Professor was among them.

  Unless they dig on the wrong place and the moment they took out the rocky covered, sandy gas exploded on their faces. Till they collapse to the ground to their bones with their screams sounded through the hallway. Other treasure hunters, six of them were marching in Nerfertiabet's graveyard. 

    Searching for gold and riches but didn't see her mummified corpse. Later they saw the flesh-eating scarab beetles popping out of the ground, it enters one of them and ate their way to his heart. He failed to earth and breathe his last. It made the others run each in their different directions some of them were eaten alive by the sacred insects. Some did found their way out, but they were running violating till they knocked one of their fellow men. 

   He couldn't see clearly so he had glasses but since it broke after been knockdown by one of the fearful men, that step on his glasses. Some of them were running unless the sandy ground opened and swallowed some of them. Two men were escaping while been chased by scarab beetles.

  Unless one fell and was eaten from inside out to bones after all legion of them covered him.

CHAPTER EIGHT

            CHOSEN TO BE MY HUSBAND'S SACRIFICIAL

 He couldn't see clearly so he had glasses but since it broke after been knockdown by one of the fearful men, that step on his glasses. Some of them were running unless the sandy ground opened and swallowed some of them. Two men were escaping while been chased by scarab beetles.

  Unless one fell and was eaten from inside out to bones after the legion of them covered him. Mike that was the man's name who had poorly eyes sight, and the one his glasses were broken. Mike was marching through the hallway, frightening, a torch in his hands, and the revolver. 

  He walked for a few moments unless he begins to see the shadowy figures. Elsewhere we walked in Nerfertiabet’s chamber without realizing her within as mummy, but she was still in her royal casket. Unless the casket was flung open with the telekinesis, we heard her roaring that startled us and came out immediately.

  “Mummy. Mummy, seriously! I hate mummy.” I growled. Nerfertiabet in mummified stare at us for a minute, as I stared at her without fear and roared. I roared back furiously which startled her for a moment, still, she roared even louder as flies come out her mouth. I just scoff in disgust, till I unleashed my revolver, and open fire at her.

  “Professor Kenworth, Natasha, and Imani get out of here. Come on, let’s run away fast!” I shouted. Before we would get out Nerfertiabet bounced on and knocked me down. I struggled with her for a moment. When I touched her forehead, she screeched in pain where I open fire at her severely, still, nothing occurred. Nerfertiabet roared even more furiously as she followed us behind, however, before we would run away remain in her chamber.

    Mummy Nerfertiabet said some uncomprehending sentences in Arabic which is Nubian’s language but in English, she said, “Come to me, my love. For you have chosen as husband’s sacrificial, and I loved you so much.” She walked up closer to me, after she had smashed me hard on the wall, and tried to kiss me. “Mummy! Yikes, I don’t think that is an unnecessary mummy face...gah!” I snarled. 

   I punch her in the face, Nerfertiabet squealed in pain and I rush to the other side of Natasha who was laughing hard. “Professor Rock seems like my great-great-grandmother is deeply in love with you,” Nat giggled. In disgust as I stare at Nerfertiabet without being afraid. “Mummy? In love with? I rather died than married your great-great-grandmother! She is so old.” I chuckled.

   Nerfertiabet roared at me, but I roar back at her till I ran away with the rest of her lineage. Sametime Mike was wandering through the ancient and webby pathway without realizing  Nerfertiabet’s mummy was roaming around seeking for whom to devour. Till he heard distance roaring and steps getting closer to him. 

   “Good God, who is there? Whosoever you are...show yourself! Don’t make me kill you,” Mike whimpered. Mike continued walking.

CHAPTER NINE

       EIGHT REMAINED PLAGUES
Without realizing that he had reached the mummy’s domain, after marching for a few minutes. “Just you know I am not afraid of you. Show yourself darn it...gah!” Mike grunted. Well, he felt something breathing behind him, as he frighteningly pointed his revolver at whatsoever man dare played pranks on him. “Don’t move or else I will shoot-wah.” Mike groaned.

  Still, because the mummy flung him on the wall with one strike as he fell to the ground while he tasted his own blood. Mummy arrived where Mike was on the ground, lifted him, and furiously roared at him. Defenseless Mike became even more fearsome. “I am begging you. Please, don’t kill me.” Mike whimpered. Mike was closing his eyes, the moment he opened it although he couldn’t see clearly, he saw the undead mummy. 

   Mike screeched on top of his lungs yet Nerfertiabet didn’t care all she wanted was the poor man’s eyes. “Mummy, spare my life, and forever I will be debts to you,” Mike pleaded. “Pardon me, I have finally found a sacrifice for my appetizer and you will be the first one. Please, give me your sight and your flesh that am might be whole again. I am your queen back from the dead.” Nerfertiabet answered. 

  “Please, mummy...waah!” Mike wailed. His wailing sounded through the ancient and webby dark always. After Nerfertiabet had taken his eyes, and put on her empty socket where she sees him clearly. “Huh, no. mummy, I am begging you to spare my life. I’m begging you!” Mike cried. Nerfertiabet was heartless to heed to Mike’s begging till he began to absorbed his flesh that seems like sand unto herself as Mike cried mercilessly.

Nerfertiabet was beginning to reincarnate to her usual self as before. Mike turned to nothing but dried bones. She left him behind and began coming after us again. Outside that night, Nerfertiabet roared as eight plagues Lice or gnats, wild animals or flies, pestilence and livestock, boils, the thunderstorm of hail and fire, locusts, darkness for three days, and death of firstborn. 

    All of these plagues from the Book of Exodus in the Holy Bible happened before four us. Lice and gnats ate people to the bones, as Nerfertiabet was beginning to seem like a normal human being. A lot of Nubian people died and others suffered Nerfertiabet’s wrathful tormenting plagues. Some of them died while without know any cause of the punishment. 

   Nerfertiabet roared furiously even more while searching for me and the other yet she couldn’t find me. All four of us flee for our lives back to the pyramid on our way to the land of the Forgotten. Before we would go to the land of the forgotten, we ran back in Nerfertiabet’s pyramid to be protected from thunderstorms and fire, although we knew none of them hurt us. 

   Only locusts which were bothersome to us. we were walking within the darkest ancient and webby hallway till we met face to face with the other man.
