...Through all this, the gods of Ancient Egypt battle against themselves, choosing sides and ignoring their duties to mankind. Can Michelle and Elizabeth save the world from the very beings who swore to protect it?

A/N: So, as you may have realized, the original of this...It just wasn't working out for me. So...please read and enjoy!

Chapter 1: Dreams

"You don't look as special as Anubis suggested. Then again, neither was the girl who summoned him." A beautiful woman with long, dark hair and luminescent wings said to me. "Isis," I said. "Goddess of magic, mother of mortals." Isis dipped her head in acknowledgement. "Elizabeth Princeton, sixteen year old mortal. Good evening."

Isis turned away. "The view is truly magnificent from up here. No wonder old Ra loved raising the sun." She sighed. "Dawn and Dusk is not the same without my uncle." She glanced at me and added bitterly: "But of course you wouldn't know the pain of losing a loved one, a fatherly figure."

I felt a need to address the goddess as though we were equals; as if we already knew each other. "Have I done something wrong, Isis? That trip to the past- was it a test?"

"Hm. You're cleverer than you look." She replied. "Michelle didn't even get that far."

"Michelle is still plenty clever." I huffed and glared at the goddess. "Why are you here, besides to insult my best mate?"

Isis laughed. "You've deduced that your...trip...was a test. What else?" I stared back and folded my arms. "We know each other. Anubis knew Michelle and I, because a god and a goddess wouldn't appear to just anyone."

"Very good, Elizabeth. Clever girl indeed." Isis folded her wings around her. She stared at me, her warm brown eyes frowning and icing over. "Yes, we do know each other. But it has been so long...you may not remember."

"What? What is it that I won't remember?" I leaned on the balcony, staring at the pink sky. Isis blinked, and her eyes glazed over. "Ah," she whispered. "Of course," I glanced to the goddess, feeling annoyed. She brought me all this way, during my study time, and starts ignoring me.

I wrapped my arms around my waist, feeling a chill. "Isis, how do we know each other? How can I know who you are, and feel so comfortable around you? We've never met, yet I know stuff about you professors don't teach their pupils."

The goddess of magic snapped into attention. Isis sighed. "Our talk has been cut short. Your mother wishes to have a word with you. Wake carefully, dear Cousin. And be prepared for my next visit. I will return, thought I know not when. Tell not one person, barring Michelle, of our meeting." She looked me square in the eyes. "It would not be wise."

"I understand, milady. Good day."

"Until next time...Cousin." Isis nodded again, and shimmered.

I woke up, breathing heavily. Mum was standing next to my bed, glaring down at me. I smiled nervously back. "Um...hi?"

"What in blazes were you doing in here?" She shouted. I snorted. "What, is taking a nap against the law, now? Or did I forget to put away the dishes?"

Mum's nostrils flared. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. "Have you honestly forgotten what today is?"

"Um...Friday?"

"Friday, the tenth of May, to be exact. And do you remember what happens today?"

I groaned. How stupid was I to forget! How in blazes could I forget such a big event- one my mother had been planning for two weeks? "You're getting married to Jonathan today." I said. "Six o'clock, was it?"

"Yes, in four hours. Where's your dress? And why isn't Michelle over, with her things?"

"I bloody don't know!" I shouted. "Probably helping her own mum and dad take care of your fiancée!" I shoved open my cupboard doors and waved my coral Maid- of- Honor dress in her face. "I'm going to Michelle's to get ready. I'll send Aunt Jamie over."

I carefully tucked the dress into a bag and slammed the bedroom door (and then the front door) as I exited our old apartment building. "And I thought we were getting a real house!" I shouted.

A/N: So, I think that was definitely better than the original! I certainly, anbsolutely loved this one! And you know what? It's longer too! :D
