It was a dark and stormy night. Thunder was crashing through the sky while lightning danced from the heavens above. The atmosphere was very wary, as not many people had seen a storm before. Most of the village people would look out their window once in a while to see all of the rain falling and the lightning dancing across the sky like a wild dance happening at night. For one teenage girl, this looked all too familiar.

She had just come over from another country and was staying in a little town village not to far from the palace. Her last home, she was kicked out of and she had to come and live here, in Egypt, to be a slave. She didn't know where she was going to work, or even what she was spoused to do, but she was hopping that she wouldn't get to work in the palace. From all the rumours that she has heard, the palace isn't a nice place to work. But what ever she will be dealt she will take it like nothing has ever come her way.

While the storm ripped through the sky outside, the prince was looking out the window wondering what was going on. For he was only 17 years of age and didn't know what a storm was or why there was light in the sky at night. He only knew that light would be out while Khepi pushed the sun across the sky every day, but right now it should have been Khonsu (who was the moon god) and he was no where to be seen. This puzzled the prince greatly. Why would Horus have covered Khonsu and not let him be where he was spoused to be? This too was also in the prince's mind.

The next day everything was back to normal, though normal isn't what you would call for that teenage girl. She was more nervous about where she was going to have to work and what she will have to do. She couldn't sleep a wink last night because of all the questions popping up in her head and the storm. She didn't even know what she was spoused to wear for the "get assigned" day. She grabbed what she was brought over in and went to where the jobs were to be giving out.

While everyone was getting assigned the girl was looking around, she then noticed someone that she thought was quite cute. To her he seemed about 18, which would suit her just fine since she was 16, but then she saw another female with him. That girl looked to be about 19 or so. The girl then gave up on thinking that he could be her boyfriend. One by one the people who were going to work as slaves were picked off until the girl and another girl around the age of 6 was left. The girl that looked 19 walked up to the 16 year old.

'What about this one?' Everyone else came over to look at the girl. 'Wouldn't she make a great servant for our prince.'

'Good pick Virgina. We'll take her.' The man who was selling the slaves walked over to the 16 year old.

'What's your name?' The girl blushed. She didn't want to tell her name, it was too precious to her. 'I'm not going to ask you again. What's your name!'

'My…my…name is…Elizabeth.' The boy who looked to be about 18 looked over to Elizabeth. He had never seen someone like Elizabeth before. It was almost like something had awakened inside of him, and he wasn't sure of what it was. He wanted to get to know this felling.

'Well Elizabeth, you are coming with us. I would love to have you as a servant.' Elizabeth blushed. She didn't think that this boy would care about her that much, since he seemed to have so much money to spend and use to buy slaves like her. Does he just want me as a servant or a friend as well? But what is this felling that I am getting when I look at him. It's like I am falling for him or something. I have to be honest to myself; I think I am a bit scared about that. Elizabeth thought as the people who had brought her took her back to where they lived. When she snapped out of her thoughts, she realized where she was going, and that was right to the palace.

Walking around with the person who had brought her kind of scared her a little bit. She didn't want to go to the palace to work, she would have been happy with some rapist or someone else and not the prince and his sister, which she had found out hen they had arrived back at the palace. But as time went on she realized that he wasn't as bad as what she thought he would be. In fact he was the opposite, he was kind and sweet and always looked out for her where she thought he would be some stuck up snob who only thought about himself. She found out that the Princess wasn't what she thought as well. The Princess was just as nice as the Prince and really friendly.

As weeks went by Elizabeth started to fall for the Prince more and more. She found out his name was Alexander and that he was 17 years old, soon to be 18. She was really glad that she was getting to know the prince, and the fact that she almost got his age right. Alexander, himself, was really glad to have someone like Elizabeth around. He found out how old she was and where she was from. By telling the Prince that she was from America and that her country was nearly destroyed only added to the fact why he would want to look out for her more.

One day while Elizabeth was doing something for the prince she stumbled upon something that she never wanted to see. She picked it up and placed it in one of the pockets of her uniform. She then started back to the palace. For the rest of that night Elizabeth was really quite and Alexander was very curious about why she was acting this way. After dinner Alexander confronted Elizabeth about this.

'Hey Elizabeth, what's the matter? You've never acted like this since you have came here.' Alexander asked while pulling Elizabeth close to his body.

'It's nothing my Prince, really. I just have had nothing to talk about,' Elizabeth tried to pull away but Alexander pulled her back. 'Really my Prince I am fine. If something were brothering me I would tell you right away, I promise.' Alexander though wasn't fooled but he let it pass just this one time.

'Well as long as you are sure that nothing is wrong. But if something is brothering you then you must tell me right away. Even if it is something really little like having a hunch, you must promise me that Elizabeth.'

'I promise you, my Prince. But please don't worry so much about me, I am used to looking after myself for a really long time.' She then pulled away and looked right into Alexander's eyes. As she looked into his eyes she got that weird felling again. It felt like she was floating on clouds and that she was flying, but for some reason she wanted to kiss Alexander. But what she didn't know was that Alexander was felling the same way. Alexander then looked away.

'Well…uh, uh, uh…umm…I'll see you later Elizabeth. You can have some time off for a while if you like.' With that Alexander then walked off. He had to try and relax. The way he was feeling was not allowed, ever! Having feelings for a servant was unheard of. If word had gotten out that the Prince was falling for his newest servant, then there would be catastrophe. I'm spoused to marry a Princess, not one of my servants. But I can't stop thinking about her. The she makes me feel…it's unbelievable. I feel so happy when I am around her, and I love the way that she just looks into my eyes. While Alexander was walking towards his room he ran into his sister.

'Alexander, watch where you're going.'

'Oh I am sorry Virgina. I was kind of in own world just then,'

'Oh were you now. So who is the lucky girl?' Virgina said with a smug look on her face. Oh no, when ever she gets that look on her face is always bad news. Oh crap, she hasn't figured me out has she!? Alexander thought, though the look on his face said everything to his sister. 'It isn't that new servant is it?'

Alexander gasped. 'How could you think something like that. You that is not allowed, even if it were true…oh crap!' Alexander then placed his hand over his mouth. Crap I just told her!

'Ah ha! I knew it. You so had a crush on her as soon as you had seen her. You were so obvious in showing that. I swear sometimes you are so dumb at trying to hide the fact that you like someone.'

'I am not that bad at hiding my feelings! In fact, the girl I like hasn't even noticed that I like her. And plus even if Elizabeth did find out, it's not like she would like me anyway. Why would someone who has to serve someone like his or her "master"? It's just weird.' What Alexander didn't know is that Elizabeth had just turned that corner where Virgina and he were talking. Virgina noticed tough.

'Oh I don't know, why don't you ask Elizabeth yourself.' She nodded towards Elizabeth who was standing there, almost with a half hurt half surprised look on her face. Alexander turned around.

'Elizabeth…' The tears started to fall down Elizabeth's face. 'No Elizabeth…that isn't what I meant!' Elizabeth then turned around and ran away. Oh crap. Now she's never going to talk to me again, what have I done! 'ELIZABETH! Oh man,'

Alexander then turned to Virgina. 'If you hadn't asked me that I would have been fine!'

'Hey don't blame me. You're the one that went and said that you like Elizabeth,' Virgina then turned around and started to walk off. She then stopped and looked over her shoulder. 'You know, you might want to go and explain to her what you meant about that comment. She looked very distraught.' Alexander rolled his eyes and walked away.

He knew that he should explain himself, but he didn't know how. Further more, how was he spoused to go up to Elizabeth and basically say that he loved her? He had a hard enough time excepting the fact that he was in love with her. Well I might as well go and find her. I don't want her to be mad at me forever. Alexander sighed. Well I hope that when I explain myself that she will understand and not be mad at me anymore…I hope!

Alexander walked outside to find Elizabeth underneath a tree. She had the tears falling down her face like that rain the other night. She didn't care if someone saw crying or not, they wouldn't care anyway. The last time she saw someone crying and went over to help that person, she was told off. She then realised that servants were at the bottom of the pecking order when it came to the palace, but she pretty much guessed that at the beginning. And plus she was too hurt to even care about anything anymore. The one she thought that would never hurt her went and said the one thing that she didn't want to her.

'Why would someone who has to serve someone like his or her "master"? It's just weird.'

Elizabeth just couldn't get that out of her head. She had always thought that Alexander liked her, maybe she was wrong. Why should I are anymore? It's not like anyone else cares about me. My own family didn't even care about me. I caused all the fights in the family anyway. Do I even deserve to live anymore? All these thoughts were racing through Elizabeth's mind. She had had enough of all the feelings of being hurt, and she just wanted them to stop. She didn't care in which way she was going to make them stop, but she wanted out!

Elizabeth looked around where she sat, looking for anything sharp. At that moment she found a knife. Well looks like this will have to do. She picked up the knife and took off one of her bracelets. She placed the knife up to her wrist and was about to pull it down when she heard running from behind her. She turned around to see Alexander running towards her.

'DON'T YOU DARE!' Alexander then threw the knife away. 'WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ELIZABETH!?' Elizabeth didn't know how to answer, and she didn't really want to answer. 'Answer me!' She looked away. 'Elizabeth a…'

'Oh why don't you leave me alone!' Elizabeth stood up and looked Alexander right in the eyes, there was hatred and sadness in her eyes as well as the tears that she dare not shed. 'You don't care about me, no one does! I don't even know why you care. You said yourself before "Why would someone who has to serve someone like his or her master." Well, wake up Alexander, I LOVE YOU!' Elizabeth then took off running. Alexander was just standing there in shock. He didn't think she liked him back at all.

'Oh why don't you leave me alone!...I don't even know why you care…Well, wake up Alexander, I LOVE YOU!'

Alexander then sunk to the ground. 'What have I done?'
