Chapter One: Prologue (next chapter they will be older)
A little girl of about six years old clutched her father's robes. She had large shining blue eyes and short chocolate hair just bellow her ears. Her skin was tanned ever so lightly to give the little girl a feint golden glow.
She licked her lips nervously at the large statues she passed. "Papa, I'm sacred." She whispered, burying her head in her father's long coat.
The man kneeled down to her and smiled kindly at her tiny figure.
"Don't be afraid Anzu. These stone Gods you see here are the protectors of life. Whether it be before, after or during. Come now, is that any way to behave in the pharaohs palace?" The girl shook her head frantically.
"Good, now come, there's someone I want you to meet."
Anzu couldn't understand why her father had taken her on a three days journey to see the pharaohs palace. Only boys were allowed to travel to grand places. Two giant gold plated doors stood in front of them. They opened grandly to allow Anzu, her father and some servants entry into the room.
Her father strode right up to a giant chair lined with servants and items on the ground. Before reaching the steps to the throne, he bowed deep on one knee touching his nose to the ground. Anzu was so mesmerized, she forgot to keep up with her father.
"Great Pharaoh, he said loudly, I come to visit thee with kindness and gifts." The pharaoh stood from his seat and walked down to Anzu's father. "Now, Now old friend. Don't waste time with pleasantries, it's been way too long since we've seen each other."
Her father stood and gave the pharaoh a tiny nod. "Yes, great one, I have come brining my daughter." He looked down at his legs for his little girl. "Anzu?" He said looking around. "Where is the little cat?" He asked jokingly.
Anzu snapped out of her trance when she realized her father was calling her name. She hurriedly ran up to him, almost tripping on her sandals.
"My, she's such an adorable girl,"
"Do you like her?"
"Of course, come, I'll get Atem. ATEM!" The pharaoh yelled over his shoulder.
A boy, perhaps a year older than Anzu walked up to them, slowly. He had ruby purple eyes and tricolored hair. He didn't smile or frown upon seeing the people in front of him. He kept silent and gave a small bow. Anzu just stared at the boy in wonderment. He had a symmetrical face and sand colored skin. He almost seemed unreal.
A light squeeze on her shoulder from her father reminded her to take a bow, she fumbled a bit while doing this because she was so nervous. The boy just continued to stare silently at her.
"Here son, this is Anzu. Why don't you take her to the gardens to play while me and her father discuss some important business affairs?"
"Yes father." The boy said still staring absently at Anzu. Without another word, the boy turned on the spot and started power walking away. When Anzu realized he was disappearing she jolted after him.
"Where are we going?" She asked the boy.
He didn't answer.
"Hello?" She asked.
Nothing.
She kept silent for the rest of the walk as she stared at him slightly angry.
"Here are the gardens." He finally said out of the blue. They walked onto a grand marble deck that opened into what seemed an organized jungle. Anzu's mouth was wide with amazement. "Wow!" She laughed and started running around the cobbled steps.
Atem just watched her with a rather bored expression on his face. He walked over to a pair tree and plucked a pair. He sat down chewing the soft fruit when Anzu fell down to sit next time, gasping for air.
"That was fun," She said looking at Atem and smiling pleasantly. "Hey, can I have one?"
Atem looked at her, than gracefully plucked a fruit from a low branch without even looking at the tree. He handed it to her, never wavering his gaze.
"Wow! Thanks!" She cried devouring the fruit like the little kid she was. She wiped her sticky hands on the cobbled floor, because her father warned her not to get her dress dirty.
Atem still stared at her while elegantly chewing his fruit. She lay back on the ground gazing at the perfect sky, when a voice shouted from far off. Atem got off the ground and started running to the other person who was appearing in the garden.
He was about the same age as Atem, but with long jagged black hair and emerald green eyes. He looked over at Anzu sitting on the ground. "Who's that?" He asked Atem. Atem looked over at Anzu watching them.
"No one." He said emotionlessly and followed the boy off into the oasis. Anzu was left alone in the large garden, and she started to tremble. She didn't know her way back and all the plants were starting to look scary to her. She got up and started shouting out Atems name. Than her fathers.
No one was answering. She found her way to the marble deck and climbed the stairs into the building. It was only now she realized how many doors and halls were there. Before, she had been following Atem, but now, there was no one about.
Anzu picked a door at random and ran through the entrance, than another, and another. Soon she was in a completely different part of the palace, and even the walls were different shapes. The only light shining in the dark hallway was a candle by the wall, and even that was spreading scary shadows all over the place.
Anzu couldn't take it any more. She squatted down hugging her knees and began to cry.
000000000000000000
AC: Awwww…. I feel sorry for her. But don't worry, someone found her. Or did they? Bwahahahaha! You'll never find out. Well, maybe, in chapters to come! BLAH BLAH!
BLURGH!
