Ch. 37 I cannot lose you again, Bahiti
Imhotep's gaze softened when he saw Felicia standing beside him. He begins to calm down, but he is still on high alert if someone tries to hurt him and his Desert Flower.
" Why?" Imhotep asked in Modern Arabic.
Felicia's emerald green eyes blinked, looking and feeling confused by Imhotep's question.
" That woman's father sentenced me to eternal death for supposedly killing you. Why did you stop me from killing her? She needs to die because of what her father did to me," Imhotep gently yet firmly speaks to Felicia in Modern Arabic.
Those who knew Modern Arabic froze when they heard Imhotep and Felicia's conversation.
" What is that man telling Felicia?" Isabella softly asked Ardeth in English since she noticed Rick staring at Imhotep and Evelyn with a conflicted gaze.
" Eve. What is he telling Felicia, and why is that man looking at you with a murderous gaze?" Jonathan asked Evelyn in English while Bernie stared at the two Carnahan siblings with a confused and curious gaze.
Evelyn didn't know what to say to Jonathan because she was confused by Imhotep's response to Felicia. However, she also didn't like this mysterious man calling her father, Howard Carnahan, a murderer.
" My father was a talented, respected Archaeologist. He was not a murderer! He was not the type of sentencing someone to eternal death. You must have the wrong person!" Evelyn firmly shouts at Imhotep in Modern Arabic.
Ardeth warily stared at Evelyn and Imhotep. He figured that Imhotep was speaking about Pharaoh Seti, the father of Evelyn's incarnation, Princess Nefertiri.
Felicia tightly hugged Imhotep's arm when she noticed him turning to stare at Evelyn with a fierce, murderous gaze.
" Of course, you will defend your precious father, Your Highness. You were not there in that chamber when your father sentenced me to eternal death that awful night. Because of him, I could not be with the love of my life for many centuries! If it were not for my Lord and Father, I would not be here standing next to my beautiful, Dessert Flower," Imhotep furiously speaks to Evelyn in Modern Arabic while looking at Felicia with a tender, loving gaze.
Rick didn't like how Imhotep was speaking to Evelyn. And he also didn't like how the other male was staring at Felicia as though he knew her.
" This must be a misunderstanding," Felicia calmly speaks to Imhotep in Modern Arabic since she didn't want to create an unnecessary drama.
Imhotep's light brown eyes intently stared at Felicia's emerald green eyes, wanting answers.
" The woman you are speaking to is Evelyn Carnahan. She is not who you think she is," Felicia honestly speaks to Imhotep in Modern Arabic.
Imhotep looks away from Felicia, and he turns his gaze to Evelyn.
" She looks so much like that woman," Imhotep growls while speaking in Modern Arabic.
" And who is this woman that you are referring to?" Felicia asked in Modern Arabic.
" Princess Nefertiri," Imhotep responded in Modern Arabic.
Evelyn stares at Imhotep and Felicia in disbelief when she hears that he is confusing her with an Ancient Egyptian Princess.
" I can assure you that I am not her," Evelyn reassured Imhotep in Modern Arabic.
" Okay. Okay. Now that all of this misunderstanding bullshit got dealt with, Felicia, come back to me, please," Rick held his arms out to Felicia, looking and sounding protective of his younger sister.
Felicia nods her head in response, and she pulls her arms away from Imhotep's. She turned around and was about to walk away when an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Rick immediately pulls out his gun from his holster when he sees Imhotep wrap his arm around Felicia's waist and pull her close to him.
Felicia turned her gaze to Imhotep, and the two stared at one another.
" I cannot lose you again, Bahiti," Imhotep firmly speaks to Felicia in Modern Arabic.
" I am not Bahiti. I am Felicia O'Connell. Please, let go of me," Felicia speaks to Imhotep in Modern Arabic.
" Let go of her, right now!" Rick sternly shouts at Imhotep in English while putting his finger on the trigger of the gun.
" Ardeth. Help Ricardo and Felicia," Isabella begs Ardeth in English.
Ardeth knew he was the only one capable of fighting Imhotep since the two of them were Egyptian Demigods. However, he didn't want to accidentally hurt Felicia, who is currently in the other Demigod's embrace.
" Bahiti or Felicia O'Connell. I have waited for you for many centuries. I do not want to risk losing you again," Imhotep speaks to Felicia in Modern Arabic while protectively holding her in his arms.
Ardeth's dark eyes turned into a violet color. He turned to face Imhotep, and darkness began to surround him.
Isabella stared at Ardeth and her younger siblings with a conflicting gaze.
" Son of Osiris. Let go of the Daughter of Hathor," Ardeth firmly speaks to Imhotep in Modern Arabic.
Imhotep turns his gaze to Ardeth while protectively holding Felicia in his grasp.
" Son of Anubis. Stand down. I have waited centuries to return to the Daughter of Hathor. No one is going to stop me from being with her. I do not care if I kill a brethren in the process!" Imhotep shouts in Modern Arabic.
" I said let go of her!" Rick furiously shouts in English, and he starts to shoot at Imhotep.
Felicia's emerald green eyes widened when she saw bullets heading towards her and Imhotep's direction.
Time became slow. Imhotep lets go of Felicia for a few seconds. He then holds her up in his left arm while waving his right hand in a circular motion.
When Felicia saw the sand fly from the ground and head in the bullet's direction, she held her breath. She then saw the sand consume the bullets and crush them with ease. Tears began to well up in her emerald green eyes when she realized that the sand was now heading towards Rick and the other's direction.
" Rick! Isa!" Felicia cried out in horror while holding her hands out to Rick and Isabella.
Ardeth knew that he had to think of something quick since the sand would swallow everyone whole.
" Felicia!" Isabella cried out when she saw Imhotep hold Felicia in his arms as she watched her younger sister disappear in front of her eyes.
Ardeth turned his gaze to Isabella, and he could see tears falling from her dark brown eyes.
" Everyone! Stand around me!" Ardeth shouts while grabbing Isabella and holding her close to him.
Rick's blue eyes narrowed when he saw Beni widely smiling at him as he and Demir disappeared along with Imhotep and Felicia.
Bernie grabs Jonathan's arm with the other, taking Evelyn, and the trio heads towards Ardeth and Isabella.
Isabella's watery dark brown eyes stared at Rick, standing with his gun aimed at the sand.
" Ricardo! Come here right now!" Isabella cried out in English since she didn't want to lose another member of her family.
Rick comes to his senses, and he turns his head back, seeing Isabella crying while holding her arm out to him and clinging to Ardeth at the same time. He then turns around and runs towards his companions, and he hugs his older sister's arm.
Ardeth's violet purple eyes began to glow as he twirled his arm in a circular motion. Soon darkness surrounded him and everyone, and they disappeared at the same time the sand engulfed them.
