SEHKMET'S REVENGE
A/N: There is a torture scene in this chapter. Chapter Five. Rick glared as he watched Sehkmet drag Jonathan into the room. He was glad that Evie wasn't aware of anything that was happening. Her heart would break if she knew what Sehkmet had done to Jonathan. He silently vowed to do everything in his power to save her. She chained Jonathan up beside Rick with his back facing out. "Can you guess what I'm going to do to the both of you?” she hissed delightedly. "Let us go?" Rick said innocently. "No!" Sehkmet said. "Both of you are going to bleed for me!" Rick's head snapped back as she punched him hard. Rick plunged into darkness as Sehkmet laughed. When he awoke, he saw that he was facing the wall now. He licked his lips and tasted the dried blood that had been flowing from his nose. He glanced over and saw that Jonathan was awake now and looking at him. Both of them had been stripped from the waist down. "Nice to see you again, old chap," Jonathan said weakly. "Yeah, you too, buddy!" Rick smiled back at him despite the pain he was feeling in his jaw. He had a feeling that whatever Sehkmet had in mind for them, they wouldn't like it. He turned his head as he saw a shadow move on the wall. Behind them, Sehkmet was uncoiling a long whip. She leered at Rick as the whip fell to the floor with a small thud. Inwardly, he cringed while he tried to put on a brave front. "What are you going to do to us?" he said as bravely as he could. Sehkmet chuckled "I'm going to teach you and your friend not to interfere in my plans!" she said. He looked over and saw that Jonathan had closed his eyes as tight as he could and was quietly whimpering. Rick looked back at Sehkmet. "You'll pay for this!" he said. He almost bit his tongue off as Sehkmet’s whip raked his back in reply. His back burned and he felt a trickle of blood run down his spine. "Silence fool!" she hissed in his ear. He cringed as he heard the whip crack on Jonathan's back and heard him suck in his breath. Bitch! he thought to himself as he heard Jonathan let out a sob. Then he heard another sharp crack on his back as pain raced up his spine like electricity. He gritted his teeth as Sehkmet continued to whip both him and Jonathan in turn. He looked over to see Jonathan gritting his teeth as well as he gripped the chains above his shackles in a death grip. Rick closed his eyes and began to think of Evie to take away the pain. As he concentrated on her beautiful face, he felt the intensity of the pain lessen. Just then, he felt a sharp crack on his cheek. Sehkmet sneered. " You are going to give me your full attention!" Rick suddenly had an idea. It was a gamble but he was willing to risk more pain if it worked. Turning his head, he yelled over his shoulder, "EVIE, LISTEN TO ME! YOU CAN FIGHT HER, EVIE. MAKE HER STOP THIS!" Sehkmet roared with laughter. "You want to speak to Evie? Be my guest." Rick gasped when he heard Evie's voice behind him. "Oh my God! What have I done?" he heard her sob. "Jonathan, Rick, help me. I can’t stop myself!" she wailed. Rick and Jonathan pulled against their chains filled with new determination to break free. Neither felt the whip anymore, nor did they care. All that mattered was setting Evie free. Rick turned to see tears streaming down Evie's face as Sehkmet continued to make her whip. "Hang in there, baby!" he said. "It'll be alright!" "I'll try!" Evie sobbed which only enraged Rick more. He fought with all of his strength to pull his wrists through the shackles not caring about the pain and the blood on his hands. He had to save Evie even if he had to rip Sehkmet out of her body himself. Suddenly he heard a thump behind him and he felt the whipping cease. Turning around he saw Ardeth and Indy standing over Sehkmet. Ardeth lowered the piece of wood he had used to club her on the head. "Evie," Rick muttered as the last of his strength left him and darkness came.
