Chapter1:
Yamino woke to the sun streaming through the window on to her face. She pulled herself out of bed. Like most fourteen year olds she was not a morning person. However this was the day she would get to go back to Monster High and meet her friends again. She had been studying ancient Egyptian history all summer and had made a few interesting discoveries she wanted her friends to see.
She grabbed her backpack which had never been unpacked since the day she got home. Yamino liked her school a whole lot better than her home life. At home things were normal and boring, but when she went to Monster High strange things seemed to happen to her. She walked to the stairs then slid down the railing.
"How many times have I told you not to sit on the hand rail? It's decoration not meant for holding anyone's weight," her mother called from in the kitchen. Yamino rolled her eyes as she threw her black hair back into a ponytail. "If die it'll be the fault of my stupidity then," she smiled as she entered the kitchen. Tea sighed. Yugi looked at his wife from the table. "Tea, kids will be kids."
Yamino fell heavily into her seat. "Dad, I'm not a kid." Her father chuckled. "Of course. I see you already have your bag. Are you ready to go already?" Yamino nodded. "Yeah I thought we could go now get there early and I could just get some breakfast there." Her parents nodded.
On the way to the train station no one said anything. Each one probably wrapped up in their own thoughts. Finally they arrived. Tea emotionally embraced her daughter. After Yamino managed to free herself from her mother's grip Yugi strode up to her and whispered in her ear. "Be careful and don't try anything too dangerous, alright."
Yamino stepped back. "Don't worry, I will." She winked then disappeared into the crowd of people. She made her way to a McDonalds that stood near the Monster High train. She ordered a cinnamon melt. As she was leaving line a flash of color came up and hugged her tightly. She looked down and saw her old friend, Amber-Lee Ishtar. "Hey, Amber," she gasped.
Amber let go of her. "I missed you so much, Yamino." Yamino grinned, "I missed you too. Now let's go find the others." Amber nodded. They boarded the train and entered compartment 7. That was where Brandon Wheeler and Ra Ryou had promised to meet the girls. As promised the boys were already there messing around with their cards and trying to trade. They looked up as the girls entered. The boys jumped at Yamino. "You got a meltie thing from McDonald's? I want some. Please let me have some!"
Yamino whacked them both. "Everyone gets some." She divided it up into four pieces. The boys inhaled theirs. "*cough* pigs *cough*" Amber said. Yamino chuckled a bit. Then the train started to move taking them to Monster High.
Yamino sat up straight and everyone fell silent. "Alright, guys. Like I said I researched pretty much all summer, and I came up with some interesting stuff." She pulled out a laptop and logged in. "Wow, since when do you have a laptop?" Amber asked. "Since my dad got me one." Brandon sighed, "If only I were that lucky."
"Anyhow," she said. "I couldn't find much about the Millennium Items. Some professors think that they don't even exist." Ra laughed, "Then they should see the damage they can do." Yamino glared at him. "Sorry, please continue," he gestured for her to go on. "However it's rumored that the Millennium Items were created 5,000 years ago. So I searched a little while after that, because that Pharaoh dude I met last year said I was his daughter, and he was the first bearer of the Millennium Puzzle. So if I did live 5,000 years ago I'd be after him.
"So I found this…" she trailed off and turned the laptop screen toward her friends. "There was just recently a stone tablet uncovered in Egypt that is supposed to be from the time period I would have lived. It was still being tested so there are no pictures of it yet. However there are descriptions. It says carved into the stone is the image of a young Pharaoh who appears to be a woman. It seems to experts that the girl has the gods of Egypt behind her and is wielding an extraordinary amount of power. There is no name on the carving. What puzzles scholars most is that there is no record of a woman Pharaoh from this period and no known Pharaoh who was depicted with such great power. So this woman Pharaoh has been nicknamed The Forgotten Pharaoh."
"You memorized all that?" Brandon snickered. Amber smacked him. "Don't you realize what this could mean for Yamino? If she really is a reincarnation of a Pharaoh maybe this could be her!" Ra elbowed Brandon. "Better watch it or she'll blow your head off." They smiled and laughed.
Yamino looked out the window of the train. "Don't worry," Amber said. Yamino frowned at her. "We'll always be with you." Yamino smiled at her. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Now back to business. I also found out that this December the stone tablet is coming to the Domino City History Museum." Brandon sighed, "I guess that means we have to go." She grinned, "Yes we have to go."
The friends left the heavier topics of Egypt and instead spoke of their summers. Yamino was only half listening. She was worried about what she might find on that tablet and what might be waiting for her there.
Finally they reached Monster High. They got off the train and headed for the dorms. Ra pointed over at the kids being led in by Pegasus. "Hard to believe we were there only a year ago." Yamino nodded so much had happened since then, but she still hardly knew why the events had happened. She shrugged away these thoughts as she headed up the stairs with Amber to claim there room.
They chose the room closest to the exit. So if Yamino needed to leave without anyone knowing it wouldn't be so hard. The girls began unpacking again. Amber still had her all pink bed clothes and pillow. Yamino didn't have much to unpack just a black blanket and her school stuff mainly. She was finished long before Amber was so she turned to her friend. "Do you need any help?"
Amber smiled, "Yeah that'd be great." Yamino crossed the room in order to help her passing in front of the window. In the moment that she was in front of the window a knife crashed through the window. Yamino dodged to the side, but the blade of the knife nicked her arm.
Amber rushed over to Yamino. "Are you alright?" Yamino grunted, "Yeah I'm fine." She looked toward the knife. There was note on it. She pulled the knife out of the wall and ripped the paper off of it. The message read: Pharaoh, I am the Shadow of Egypt and I desire your power. I will leave you this message to warn you. I will take the Millennium Puzzle the source of your power. Watch your back because shadows are always there.
