The Abbey

We had a car take us to the Abbey near where the plane went down. Nick started walking off in the opposite direction of where the crash occurred. He walked towards the building, the farm animals cooing behind us. He hopped between the ropes that guarded off the building. I followed him as Jennifer followed me. I slowly moved trying to keep as quiet as I possibly could, the leaves crunching beneath my boots.

"Nick. Nick! Where are you going? The crash isn't up that way. Where are you going?" Jennifer asked him after I had remained silent just following slowly listening to the crickets surrounding us. My eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness surrounding me.

"No. We're in the right place." He told her as we neared the dilapidated building that looked straight out of a horror film.

"Nick. Nick! I do not know what we're doing here. This isn't the right place." Jennifer kept badgering.

"Jennifer. Stop just follow, relax, what're you scared of the dark? If it bothers you just leave." I whispered at her. She sighed crossing her arms as she continued following me.

"The main crash site, it's up that way and so is my artifact. And that's where we are going." She said to me. I sighed as she started to walk off. I continued forward with Nick into the church. I looked around seeing the bricks exposed like this gave me a weird feeling. Like the building had been bombed in a previous lifetime. I wrapped my arms around myself seeing the crows flying around. Nick walked down some stairs, looking around.

"Jenny?" Nick asked looking straight at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Nick, she left, she went outside." I told him as he stumbled up back up the stairs to where I was.

"Nick? Elizabeth?" Jenny yelled to us. I quickly moved towards the shadows just watching as Nick wandered off. I knew something wasn't exactly right here, however, there would be no point in getting kidnapped with him by an undead mummy. I followed behind him sliding between pillars, the shadows concealing me perfectly. The mummified search and rescue officers jumped Nick and moved him to an alter. Ahmanet jumped on top of him, she seemed very alive!! I knew it! Her enslaved circled Nick, as I looked around trying to figure out a plan to get him out of this weird situation. She opened his mouth with her fingers gazing at his perfect teeth. She quite forcefully ripped his shirt up to reveal his stomach.

"Ok. Ok." Nick spoke and laughed as she started to graze his stomach with her long undead fingernails.

"GOD OF DEATH" I heard as she smashed the head of the angel sitting next to the altar and grabbed out the dagger. Though it was missing it's jewel. I smiled as I stood behind the pillar poking my head out to watch her.

"POWERFUL SET I WELCOME YOU INTO THIS MORTAL BODY. UNITE TO ME FINALLY." I cringed at that and decided now was the time to make myself known. I pulled my gun out from my side and kicked a rock sending it into the altar.

"Hey! You creepy bitch. No one gets to do that, except me!" I yelled at her. She looked at me and screamed. Her other friends heads all turned towards me.

"Elizabeth!!! RUN!" Nick yelled at me. I started taking shots at about five different sucked dry humans. Jenn showed up behind me at some point but took off running the second she saw what was going down. Ahmanet ran towards me and I spun around and started to run after Jenn. Nick could handle the others himself, I did some damage but not nearly enough to save him. He had the experience he needed to get himself out of there. Ahmanet appeared in front of me grabbed me by the neck and pushed me into a pillar. I struggled to breath as she gripped me tighter. I quickly headbutted her trying to get her to loosen her grip on my neck. She screamed in my face then threw me off to the side into some pews. I got up quickly. But she was too fast for me. She grabbed my neck again. Just about to suck me dry and use my flesh and organs to regenerate. Nick came up behind her and stabbed her with the Dagger of Set. She let go of me and I grabbed the dagger out of her and stabbed her again. Nick grabbed my hand as I retrieved the dagger from her body and we started running out of the Abbey.

"Nick! Elizabeth!" I heard Jennifer running up to us.

"Were you just gonna leave me?!!" She yelled as Nick pulled me into an ambulance.

"You saw that, right?" He asked as he hastily started the ambulance threw it into drive and punched the gas to get us away from the scene.

"You were gonna leave me!" Jenny screamed at us.

"You saw it, right?" Nick asked her still in shock.

"I can't unsee it!" She yelled to him.

"Where are we going?" I asked Nick as I rubbed my neck coughing to get my airway to clear.

"Away from here. There's a highway up ahead." He explained.

"How do you know?" Jenn asked him.

"I know." He told her vindictively. I noticed the road changing back to where we were before.

"Oh my God. Do you realize what this is?" I asked him as I noticed what was in my hands.

"It's the dagger of Set. She was gonna drive that thing right through me." Nick told me like I didn't know. I literally saw the entire thing go down, the. entire. fucking. weird. experience.

"The stone, it is missing." I said confirming my thoughts earlier.

"Yeah, it seems to have really pissed her off." He told me.

"It's real." Jenny breathed out.

"How was it in that statue?" Nick asked me.

"That statue was a reliquary. Crusaders have been using them to hide holy relics for centuries." I explained to him.

"But she knew it was there." I told him my brain rapidly theorizing.

"You're saying that she brought the plane down there? On purpose?" Nick asked me as he drove skidding everywhere.

"Nick! Keep your eyes on the fucking road! Pay attention!" I yelled to him.

"That's why she wanted you to come to the church." Jennifer piped in.

"She wanted me to go to the church? I told you that I wanted to go to church. I told you.. I said.. That I wanted to see... I wanted to see her corpse." He said suddenly realizing where my brain was at.

"Nick, she's in your head." I told him hoping he would believe me, he knew my family's history he should know this all, crazy as it was. It was real.

"What are you talking about?" I dropped my head as he denied the obvious. "That.. That is ridiculous. Because I... I drove right back to her. Oh my God she is in my head." He said as he realized we were right in front of the Abbey again. Ahmanet walked towards us her slaves running in front of her after us.

"Go go go go go!" I yelled at him as she advanced towards us. Nick threw us into reverse and quickly backed us the hell out of there. The wooded trees and non-paved roads starting to make me nauseous. I heard the scratching of metal on Nick's side and pulled my gun quickly shooting at the skull that poked its way through the window.

"Fuck. A little warning next time!" Nick yelled to me as he rubbed his ear.

"You're such a baby!" I yelled back as he swerved opening the door to get the mummy who was hanging off the ambulance. He crashed it into the tree the door flying off with it. Another mummy threw himself on the top of the roof I quickly aimed at where I heard it coming from shooting and hoping to God that it would get off. It flew through the windshield grabbing my arms. I yelled at it. However, it proved to do nothing.

"Get it off of me!" I yelled as I grabbed the dagger beneath me and thrust it into it's hollow skull. Nick reached over and took hold of it's arm throwing it towards the open door. I held onto the dagger as Nick drove.

"Son of a bitch!" He yelled as they continued to assault the car. The mummy grabbed the wheel and swearved us off the unpaved road and into a ditch. I felt my head hit the dashboard again and again as we rolled down the hill. Finally, we stopped. I quickly dabbed at my forehead wincing as I felt the cut forming. I pulled my fingers away and looked at the blood that was there. I wiped it on my jeans and looked to my right seeing Nick wasn't there.

"Nick!" I yelled making sure he was still alive.

"Elizabeth?!" He yelled back. I looked out the now crushed window to see him behind us.

"Jenny? You okay?" I asked as I noticed she hadn't said anything. Her hand hit my shoulder.

"Nick!" I yelled again. I struggled with my seatbelt in the upside down car. Finally I got it unhooked and fell down onto the roof. Nick ran up to us and looked straight at me. As I was about to go after him. Jennifer held me into place as we watched the scene before us unfold. Nick stood up straight as Ahmanet walked slowly towards him. Nick walked towards her as she stopped. He grabbed a tree branch that had broken off.

"Get her, Nick!" I yelled at him as he stalked towards the mummy.

"Get her! Get her! Kick her ass!" Jenn yelled from behind me I smirked as she cursed. That was a rare occasion. Nick went to hit her with the branch. Her arm broke it and she threw him up into the trees as I looked up to see where he went, Ahmanet walked towards our overturned car. I jumped back as I saw Nick fall right in front of me. I went to grab my gun on the roof next to me and Ahmanet grabbed my hand and behind my neck. Jennifer scrambled out of the car as I proceeded to try and fight her in my compromised position. She looked me in the eye and I saw pure evil. She screamed into my face her head dropping as she was suddenly pulled away from me. I scrambled up and to the edge of the car, gun in hand, as Jenny grabbed the dagger. I looked at Ahmanet an arrow had gone through her chest dragging her away, a group pulled up wearing all black, they looked like contracted military. Nick ran up to the car and pulled me out, he wrapped his arms around me holding me to him. I could feel the warmth radiating off his body, his warm breath made its way to my neck, I shivered as I heard Ahmanet scream. The men in black shot her with more arrows and darts hopefully containing a sedative.

"Who are you?" Nick asked as a man in black walked up to us. He shot me with a dart and I fell. Nick's arms holding me up as I gazed into his eyes. "Elizabeth!! What the fuck did you do to her?!" I heard him yell before everything went black and his voice was silent.
