Ok Yes I am Starting A New Story But That Does Not Mean I Will Not Continue The Van Helsing one.
Just FYI I know that most of this will not be historically correct but just go with it ok…
I was born in Thebes Egypt during the reign of Seti the first. I was his youngest daughter but born outside the royal blood line. Even though I was only royal on my father's side I was still treated very well. I lived in the palace with my family. Nefertiri was my half-sister but never treated me that way. We were very close friends and trained together as fighters often.
I had heard rumors from my father that a war was going on between the Greeks and the Trojans all over some woman. I found it horrible to kill innocent people just for a woman. There was nothing I could do though.
I walked through the court yards and find my sister practicing archery. "Did you hear what father spoke of today sister?" she asks me.
"No, is it more about that stupid war over some woman?" I ask as I pick up a bow myself.
"I believe father has received a request from the Trojan king to have Prince Hector and Prince Paris as well as the whore spend time here with us." She tells me as she releases the arrow and hits right on the bullseye of the target.
"Why should Prince Hector come? Is he not married?" I ask trying not to talk about Prince Paris of Helen.
"No, he was to be married but I believe that something happened and the woman chose not to marry him." She tells me as she draws another arrow.
"She came to her senses then if you ask me." I tell her as I rest myself on my bow.
"Sister you just don't like royal men though I can no imagine why? They can protect and provide for you." She tells me as she looks at me.
"I want someone I can love, someone who would do anything in the world for me and who wouldn't have as many perfumes as I have" I say with a giggle. She giggles back at me.
"Love is what you speak of? That is not for us that is for the common people and you know that. If we were to go to war then you know just like our ancestors before us we would fight. If this war does come we would do the same." She tells me as she lowers her bow and arrow.
"Daughter!" I hear the queen calling for us. She knows I am not truly hers but she has always treated me as if I were. "Come we have visitors." The queen tells us.
"And so begins the hell in Egypt" I say with sarcasum as I put the bow down and walk with Nefertiri to the throne room.
We see two men and a woman with her arm around one of the men's arm.
"These are my daughters Princess Nefertiri and Princess Natari." The pharaoh tells them as he goes to his daughters.
"I am Prince Hector of Troy and this is my brother Paris and Helen." The taller man says. "We have come for refuge for a short time during this war." Hector tells us.
"Is the war close to ending?" the Pharaoh asks.
"I do not know Pharaoh." Hector tells him.
"There is a very easy way to end this war, return the woman to her husband and the blood shed will end." I speak out of turn knowing I will get punished for it later.
"Natari" my father scolds me.
"I could not agree more Princess but circumstances have arosen and that is no longer possible." Hector tells Natari looking right into her eyes.
"If she is with child then it brings shame not only to her family but to hers as well." Nefertiri says coming to my aide.
"My daughter's make well points. Though I do pity you Hector thrown into this mess. You may stay as long as you can. Daughters I believe your lessons are about to start." The pharaoh says as he turns his attention to Nefertiri and myself.
"Yes father" we say in unison as we go to walk away.
"An honor to meet you both" Hector says as he offers his hand to Neferitri, she allows him to kiss her hand then walks off.
"You as well Princess Natari" he says offering his hand again. I turn and simply follow my sister down the hallway.
"Natari is not like her sister, she tends to follow her own path with or without permission." The pharaoh says as he returns to his throne.
"She will make someone a fine Queen someday." Helen says staying with Paris.
"A better Queen then you will ever hope to be Helen" the Queen says as she sits beside the Pharaoh.
"The guards will show you to your rooms. If you need anything ask one of the servants." The pharaoh says.
The guard comes and Hector along with his company follow him to their separate rooms. Paris takes Helen and walk into Hector's room.
"How rude of that Princess to say that to us?!" Paris tells Hector as he removes his armor.
"All she did was speak the truth, Helen is not yours Paris." Hector says as he puts his sword on the bed.
It was hot just as always, I was in my room putting on my fighting armor which wasn't much a small crop top and a skirt when I hear a noise at my door. "Come on if we are late the teacher will tell father." I hear my sister yell.
I pull my skirt up and grab my twin sais and walk out the doors to see her standing there with hers.
"I don't like this Nefertiri with them here Egypt is now in danger." I tell her as we start walking to our lessons.
"Nothing we can really do about it, father has made his decision you know how stubborn he is afterall that is where you get your stubbornness from." She says with a laugh.
As we go to turn a corner I pay no attention as I am about to speak to Nefertiri and I bump right into someone and fall to the ground.
"Oh please forgive me Princess, I was not looking where I was going." I hear a male voice say. I look up and there stands prince Hector with his arms offered to me.
I pick myself up and look at him. "Do not worry Prince, I can take care of myself." I tell him as I walk away with Nefertiri.
"Why won't you be nice to him? It is not his fault for what his brother did." Nefertiri tells me. I roll my eyes.
"All Prince's are alike, they always want what they can't have." I tell her as we reach the courtyard.
"You are late!" the instructor tells us.
"Forgive us teacher, Natari was knocked over by a Prince." Nefertiri said with a laugh.
"Take your places girls." I hear a man say as I walk to the court yard and there are Princess Nefertiri and Princess Natari in full armor about to fight each other.
"Even our royalty know how to fight young Prince." The queen says as she joins him.
"They fight each other?" he asks the queen.
"Of course that way they know each other's moves. Nefertiri and Natari have been doing this since they were young." The queen tells him.
"Natari seems to be quite a spirited fighter. Many suitors must come for her hand." He tells he as they watch Natari and Nefertiri fight.
"And she turns just that many away, she has told me before she will only marry for love. He father allows her this dream since she is not first born." The queen says crossing her arms.
Natari falls to the ground with Nefertiri pointing her sai's at her.
"I can't see a thing in this mask!" Natari yells as she takes off her mask. And jumps back up.
"Careful little sister your too pretty to get a scar now." Nefrtiri jokes.
Nefertiri attacks as Natari blocks and kicks her feet out from under her. Nefertiri lies on the ground as Natari disarms her and puts a sai to her throat.
"No fair you know my leg wasn't fully healed." Nefertiri says as the Natari helps her up.
"Very good girl, you may rest today. Be up and ready early tomorrow." The instructor says as he walks away.
Nefertiri walks away when I sense someone watching me, I turn around and there stands Prince Hector and the Queen. Why are they just staring at me? I wonder as I walk over to them.
"Natari, Hector was just admiring your skills he says you are a very good fighter." The queen says but Natari doesn't break her eye lock with Hector.
"I'll leave you two then." The queen says as she back up and walks away.
"Why do you keep appearing everywhere that I am Prince Hector?" I ask him as I throw my sais to my sides.
"I just happen to hear the clinging of metal, I wanted to see what was happening. Is that a crime Princess Natari?" he asks me as he moves forward now face to face with me.
"Be careful Prince, pride and curiosity could get you killed" I tell him as I feel his breath on my lips.
"Not if I had a queen like you to protect me" he said making me turn the other way with my back now to the wall.
I just smiled at him. "I could never be the Queen of someone I despised." I tell him as he moves closer and closer.
"You despise my brother not me. I never took anyone's woman before." He says as once again we are only centimeters apart from each other's face.
I look him over nervously. He is getting really closed to me. A man has never had the nerve to be this close to me before.
"What's the matter Princess never been this close to a man before?" he ask me as he leans in close to me.
"Natari!" I hear my sister call for me just as his lips are about to touch mine.
"Silly Prince, always wanting what you can't have" I tell him as I turn loose from him and follow my sister's voice.
She walks away from me not even turning back for a glance as I lean against the wall and cross my arms. "That woman is going to be the end of me." I say to myself.
