Chapter 2: A New Evil Reborn...

The crisp, autumn breeze hushed over the Domino Museum as the full moon glowed in the dark blue sky. All the workers and janitors had left hours ago, off to a well-deserved slumber at their own homes, leaving the museum empty and quiet. Almost frozen by the silence, the inner corridors of the museum were dead, dormant without the visiting tourists. The cold, slate blocks that made up the floors and walls echoed of no one until one of the exhibit rooms sprang to life. Light flooded the larger, rectangular-shaped room, and one of the doors with the "For Employees Only" signs on the front opened loudly.

One of the young security guards entered through that doorway, a small, half-eaten sub sandwich in his mouth and dark circles beneath his tired eyes. Dressed in a gray uniform with a matching cap to cover up his unruly red hair, the security guard trudged across the empty room, the heels of this black shoes tapping on the stone floor, his gun jerking slightly in its holster to the rhythmic movements of its master's legs. He reached the end of the exhibit room, and went to flip the light switch off when he felt something stir behind him. Nervous, he abruptly grabbed his gun and turned to face the present danger; to his relief, no one was there. He slowly put his gun back in its holster.

"Geez, why'd I take the graveyard shift?" he mumbled to himself, as he polished the name tag that he wore on his shirt. It read, "Daniel Thompson". "I could have been out partying at Stacy's house tonight, but no. I needed the extra cash. Ugh, this place is so creepy at night..."

Turning around to go back to the room from which he came from, Daniel chose to check the room one more time, just in case his earlier suspicions were right. He had heard on the news for the last view days that there were some thieves on the loose who still haven' been caught as of yet. Even so, one can never be too careful, in his opinion.

His murky green eyes turned left and right as his footsteps echoed against the tiled floor, examining each artifact and the area around them. Vases with hieroglyphs etched upon their surfaces, Mummified cats in small wooden sarcophagi, and odd paintings were all that he could see, along with his own skinny shadow moving alongside him. To his eyes, everything appeared as normal as any Egyptian exhibit could be, along with the ancient mummified bodies staring him with empty eye sockets. Taking no mind to the creepy feeling that always washed over him when he looked at those things, Daniel made his way to the other side of the relatively long room; finally relaxed enough to release his fears (and the breath that he was also holding), the guard was about to return to his post in the next room, when something to his right caught his eye.

It was a large sarcophagus, gold-covered and had beautiful markings traced on its surface with black and red paints of some sort. The coffin was covered with millions of heiroglyphs that stretched from its feet to its shoulders. the normally seen painted-on face adorned the head of the sarcophagus's lid, which was closed so that the artwork done on the coffin could be displayed instead.

Daniel approached the entrancing object, wondering why he had taken such of a sudden interest in it; he passed it just about everyday on his way to his work post, his eyes never once glancing at it, and yet now the sarcophagus seemed to radiate with a mysterious aura as if it glowed with a light of its own.

Above the glass-encased coffin was a small board that had all the information on who laid within the sarcophagus. Unable to help himself, Daniel looked up to read what it had to say about this captivating artifact.

The board read: "Within this newly recovered sarcophagus lies the remains of the mysterious Princess Samira, an ancient ruler of Egypt from around 3000 B.C. Her cause of death is still unknown, as well as many other facts and events that happened during her reign, but she was thought to be around 16 or 17 at the time of her death. Found in a hidden tomb close to the Valley of the Kings, Princess Samira's history is still under further investigation by archaeologists."

Daniel stared at the words on the small gray board, puzzled by what he had read. Must be one of the really new artifacts, then, if they still don't have any updates on it. For a moment he watched the coffin, as if was about to move or make a noise, and then he shrugged to himself. Ha, what to I know? I'm a security guard, not some historian!

Out of the quiet, a loud, obnoxious beeping sound erupted from the guard's wrist; startled, he looked down to see that he had accidentally turned on his wrist watch's alarm without setting the alarm clock as well. He glanced at the time.

"12:00," he mumbled aloud, "Great, still another hour to go." He turned the security room door to grag the other half of sub sandwich he hadn't eaten yet when he realized that he couldn't move; looking down he saw that his feet were strangely frozen to the floor by some invisible force.

"What the-" Daniel was completely interrupted by what was starting to occur in front of him; the once dead, lifeless sarcophagus was now suddenly glowing with an eerie, bright light! Distant chanting in some obscure language that Daniel couldn't make out could be heard echoing through the once quiet building, and the light continued to get brighter by the second. Thye security guard covered his eyes in response to the increasing brightness, but through the chanting and the sound of his own heart pounding in his ears he thought he could hear a scraping noise, like rough stone rubbing against rough stone!

Forcing his eyes to open, he almost yelped in shock; the lid of the sarcophagus was being moved over by a mummified hand that was inside the coffin! The heavy lid was slowly pushed off far enough for the sarcophagus to be considerably open, and the hand slipped back where it came from. Daniel was about to sigh when the hand was soon replaced by the face of beautiful young woman! The young security guard soon assumed that he had been fooled by one of his female co-worker's pranks. Again.

"Amy, is that you!" Daniel shouted over the monotonous chanting. "Look, you got me, okay! This ain't funny anymore! Cut it out for a sec!" Hearing no response, and watching the mysterious woman rise out of the sarcophagus-and right through the glass- the boy's blood ran cold; he felt his hands shaking nervously as he realized that this wasn't some little prank anymore, and if it was they were doing a great job of scaring him. The mysterious woman fully appeared out of the sarcophagus, and as she did so the strange light and chanting finally died away. Taking in the figure before him, the guard's eyes went wide with terror and disbelief.

The person seemed young, like a girl in her late teens, with long, flowing black hair tipped at the ends with a red color as dark as blood; her skin was darkly tanned, and appeared young and flawless. She wore a tight , white dress that reached down to her ankles, and was adorned with many gold bracelets, rings, anklets, a belt, and a large gold collar around her shoulders; what frightened Daniel the most was that while her left arm was elegant and delicately formed with gold nail polish on her fingernails, her arm was similar to the mummified hand he had seen earlier!

The flesh was tight yet wrinkled, shriveled, and bandages were still wrapped around her dead, decayed arm; within an instant, a bright glow surrounded the arm, and when it faded away, it revealed a normal, tan-skinned arm with a gold gauntlet decorated with rubies. A warm sensation overtook the terrified guard's pants, and at first he thought that the mystic woman had done something to him, but he realized a moment later that he had wet himself.

The woman smiled at the guard eagerly. "What a surprise", she crooned malevolently, "that I already have a servant waiting for me when I awaken. How pleasing."

The guard pulled out his gun and pointed it at the woman. "I don't know what the hell you are, but I do know that you're not supposed to be here!"

She snickered. "Foolish boy. The only thing you should be thinking about is how to serve your master." She raised her left hand up, revealing the symbol of an eye on her palm; suddenly, a bright blue light radiated from the odd symbol, filling the room with its glow. Daniel was blinded, his vision flooded by this strange blue light, and then his mind went blank...

"Heh", the woman hissed proudly as she looked down at the boy before her; no longer were his green eyes sharp and alive with youth and energy, but were vacant and it seemed that he had become a body with no soul. Upon his forehead was the image of the blue Eye of Horus. "One boy down, and now...the world!"

Well, trust me, it does! And is she just like Malik, or is Samira's mind control power a little bit different? And when will she encounter our heroes, especially Anzu? Oh, I just can't wait to update again! Don't worried, I'll be constantly attempting to type out my pre-written story (yes, this is pre-written! And there is one that I pre-wrote before this one that I will hopefully bring to soon enough). Until the next chapter, see you later!
