I jumped when I heard someone knock on my door. That was strange. It wasn`t time for dinner yet and Nephthys was on a girls day out. I walked over to my door and opened it. There was no one there. I looked out and saw someone retreating around the corner. I took a sip of my coffee.
"Horus?"
I was shocked. What was Horus doing at my door? Had the all-powerful pharaoh come to brag? Horus swore under his breath and turned around. His face was turning red from embarrassment.
"Set."
"What are you doing here? Come to gloat?" I asked with a scowl.
Horus walked over until he was standing in front of me. He had a serious look on his face.
"I`m sorry." he said.
I choked on my coffee. Sorry? There are millions of things he could be apologizing for but Horus doesn`t apologize. He`s Horus. Apologizing doesn`t fall into his personality.
Now because I'm better than him, I gave an intelligent answer.
"What?"
I`m not the sharpest tool in the shed. Horus stared at me. "I wanted to apologize for everything I've done to you." he said. Now it was my turn to stare. "Are you drunk?" I asked. It was the only thing that would explain why he was apologizing.
Horus chuckled. "You`d think, but no. With Ra back and Carter becoming pharaoh and everything that's happening, I thought I should do something." I looked around for the cameras. This has to be a prank. I bet everyone`s sitting in the living room watching this.
"Set, you don`t have to forgive. I just wanted to apologize for ruining your life." Horus said. He started turning red again. Horus started to walk away. I should apologize. It`s the right thing to do. I`m going to regret this. I reached out and grabbed Horus`s arm. He froze.
"Sorry I killed your dad." I said. He turned to look at me. His smile reached his ears. "I`m sorry I exiled you." he said. Thanks for reminding me. If I punched him, do you think he`d exile me again. I`m not risking it.
Now we were both turning red. I guess since I'm already red, I turned a brighter red. I had one more thing to apologize for.
"Sorry about your eye." I said. Horus smiled. "Maybe we can try to be friends." Horus said. I doubt it. We might not be friends but we respect each other. "Can I be king for a day?" I asked. "In your dreams." Horus said. "I`m a better king and fighter." Oh no he didn`t. "Is that a challenge, Bird-Brain?" I yelled.
"You think you can beat me, Elmo?" he yelled. Did he just call me Elmo?
My eye twitched. He knew he had gone too far. He took off running. I chased after him. We passed Nephthys and Isis.
"When do you think they`ll stop trying to kill each other?" Isis asked. Nephthys sighed. "Asking that is like asking Sadie and Carter to not fight for a week. They`ll fight till the world ends." Nephthys said. There was a giant crash.
"Let's go stop them before Set takes out Horus`s other eye."
My second story is up. Comments would be nice.
