Greek Runaway

Είκοσι οχτώ(Twenty Eight)

Ahkmenrah's POV

Larry and I started to make our way to the Egyptian department to find Katalina and we were making small talk as we went.

"So what is Katalina like?" He asked me nudging my arm lightly.

"She is very beautiful, and smart, and funny. I am just excited to see her Larry," I could tell we were almost to Egypt when I heard tapping. Not coming from Egypt, but coming from Greece. I ran into the room towards the tapping not listening to Larry calling me. Soon I found a glass case and saw Katalina inside with her eyes close. She looked to be crying. I went over to the case and called Larry to it and he came running.

"You have to break it! You have to get her out!" I yelled wanting to cry also.

"Calm down Ahkmenrah. We stopped in that office to get the key. Remember." He said calmly and went to her case and unlocked it. Katalina pushes the case up and ran to me. I hugged her and kissed her hair.

"You're alright?" I asked her.

"Yes, I am fine. I missed you. H-how are we alive?" She asked me.

"Remember my tablet," I asked taking it out of the bag I had it stored in. She nodded. "It is because of this that we have all come to life. But we are here to take you with us."

"With or without Kahmunrah?" She asked.

"Without." She nodded and hugged me again. "Katalina, this is Larry Daley, he is my friend."

"Oh yes! Thank you for letting me out." She said to him.

"You're welcome. Now we have to get that into this box." Larry said pointing at her sarcophagus ."And I have to buy another airplane ticket." Larry muttered to himself. We went over to Katalina's sarcophagus and placed it in the box. "If we just give this to Mcphee then he won't notice. We will just have to get you guys back in somehow.

When we were done we went back to what Larry calls the airport and drove back to the museum. Larry looked inside the doors and saw the lights off. He opened it and then called inside. "Dr. McPhee?" There was no answer. He went all the way inside then came back out.

"Guys. He's not even here. Let's go inside." Larry said. Katalina and I got out of the car and went into the museum and it brought everyone inside to life. "Guys! I'd like all of you to gather in the lobby really quick!" Larry announced throughout the museum. I watched as Katalina had so much wonder in her eyes.

"This is so amazing. I want to meet everyone." She said. I leaned down and kissed her.

"Yeah?"

"Definitely." Soon everyone was in the lobby and was looking up at Larry, Katalina, and me.

"So this here is Katalina, she is known as The Greek Runaway. She is Ahkmenrah's love. So let's give her a wonderful welcome and if you have any questions I think she is willing to answer. Single file line." Then there was a huge line waiting to ask her questions. The first who came up was Attila. He started speaking Hun.

"He asks, 'How old are you'?" I said to Katalina.

"Before I died I was 24, now I think it's a few thousand years old." She said. Attila nodded and hugged her.

"That was Attila the Hun." I said to her.

"I didn't know you spoke his language."

"I learned a little while back."

"So tell me, Ms. Greek, how did you end up in Egypt with King Tut over here?" Jedediah asked her. Katalina kneeled down by him.

"You are very cute." She said.

"Now, Ms. Greek, I may be small, but I am certainly not cute." He said.

"But of course you're cute! But for your question. I ran away from Greece because there was a war and I ran away to the island Crete, but instead of staying I continued on and went to Egypt." She said.

"Now that's really interesting. And only you will ever be allowed to call me cute. But don't use it often." Jedediah said pointing at her. She nodded and smiled and started to stand up. Next in line were Teddy and Sacagawea.

"Your dress and hair are very nice." Katalina said to Sakagawea.

"Thank you very much! I love your dress so much. It is beautiful. "Where is it originally from?" Sacagawea asked.

"This one is from Greece. But they brought my chest which has other clothing in it." Katalina said.

"Do you know a lot of languages?" Teddy asked.

"I know, Greek, English, French, and Egyptian." After a while, I could tell Katalina was getting bored from answering the same questions over and over again. Larry noticed as well and he told the others to ask her tomorrow. "I feel very tired even though I have been asleep for thousands of years."

"I know how that feels. Strange isn't it?" She nodded. "Would you like to go into the security office? There is a couch." She nodded.

"What is a couch?" She asked. I just pulled her into the room where Larry was eating his diner and pulled her on the couch.

"This is a couch. So can I ask you what happened after my death, with Egypt when Kah became the leader? "

"Well, his first command was for the military to take more land from the west. And about two hours after your memorial, the people from the west came and started a war. He tried to blame it on you." She said.

"Do you know who killed me?" I asked. She looked up at me with watery eyes. And she nodded her head slowly. "Well, who did it?" I asked wanting to know. She looked over at Larry, who wasn't paying attention at all to us, then looked back to me. She leaned in closely and wrapped her hands around my ear. Then she whispered;

"Kahmunrah."
