An Egyptian Tale
A beautiful slave girl's heart is taken by a certain pharaoh. They'll get married and live happily forever, right? Wrong. Her drunken master betroths her to a slimy man, and with her sister, they run away to find the pharaoh. Problem is, will he love her in return?
A/N: Bah, I didn't know what Genres to put them in... XD But anyhow, please enjoy because it's my first Egypt fic! LMAO XD

A slave girl wiped the sweat off of her forehead, and sighed tiredly.
"Hey you! Back to work!"
She dodged a cup being thrown at her head and returned to her work of laying down bricks. Licking her lips, she realised for the umpteenth time in the day that she was terribly thirsty. "Sir, if it pleases you..."
"Back to work slave." said the man who had thrown the cup at her rudely.
The girl licked her cracked lips and tried again. "Sir, if it pleases you--"
He glared at her coldly. "Nothing would please me more than seeing you work hard for your keep girl! I knew I shouldn't have bought you! Would've been better off with a boy!" he complained angrily, shouting up to the Heavens as if searching for a sign that he was right. Then his cold gaze fell back on the girl who had stopped laying down the bricks and was now licking her cracked lips over and over again. "Is that not right, slave?" he asked.
"Oh yes sir, you have told me so, many times sir!" answered the slave.
"Good..." muttered the man, turning away and reaching for the jug of water beside him to have some more to drink. The girl watched him intently, so thirsty was she...
"Please sir!" she cried as she watched him drink, water dripping from his wet lips, "I am thirsty!" The man shot her a sideways glare and then continued drinking, more sloppier this time, water falling to the earth from the sides of his face. "I mean to say... would master be kind enough to give slave girl a drink?" the girl pleaded.
Setting down his now empty cup he looked at her. "That reminds me. Where is that wretch for a sister of yours? Has she not come back with a jug of water?"
The girl sighed. She was so thirsty! But she had to do something... "I shall go search for her." she murmured as she turned and walked away to search for her sister.

"Liana? Liana where are you?" shouted the girl, calling out her sister's name.
"Over here Serina! Ooh, sister! Come look! Come look!" was the reply.
Serina rushed towards her sister's voice and found her hiding behind a large rock staring at something. "What is it?" she asked when she reached her sister. Liana pointed mutely at the clearing before them and Serina gasped with surprise. It was two of the priests. "What would they be doing here?" asked Serina curiously.
Her sister shrugged. "Looking for powerful Ka's? Who knows." The she grinned. "Ooh, but isn't that blue-eyed one a-fancy?" Liana asked her eyes glazing over dreamily.
"Oh yes, his something to fancy! But what about the pharaoh?"
"Ooh, yes the pharaoh is HOT!" shouted out Serina. "Like HOT HOT!"
"Why are you answering you're own question?" asked Liana, turning to her sister and raising her eyebrow.
"I'm not answering my own question! You asked it!" whispered Serina furiously, pointing her index finger accusingly at her.
Liana shook her head. "Impossible!"
Serina's jaw dropped. "Then...who-?"
"I never knew I was 'HOT HOT'." whispered a voice in Serina's ear. She and her sister spun around. Serina's face was either really red with embarrassment or just really hot from the sun's heat when she saw who stood behind them on a beautiful white mare.
The smirking 'HOT HOT' pharaoh himself.
