I woke up the next morning to find myself alone. All the time I wished I could wake up with him next to me but I knew he had to leave before the sun was pulled across the sky by ra. I sat up and wrapped my arms around my knees as I remembered last night. After our conversation, we did as we usually do, we kissed and cuddled than fell asleep together, well I did anyway. I let out a breath as I vividly remembered his hot breath, his muscular chest, and the way his wind chapped lips felt against mine as we kissed.
I than looked outside to see the sun was beginning to get higher. I realized that my father would be wondering where I am so I quickly put on my long flowing dress that seemed blue in the right light, put on my jewelry and head to the main eating room.
"Ah and there she is!" the pharaoh proclaimed. I felt my cheeks flush as I saw how late I was. Even my youngest sibling, kaazia, was at the table. I looked to see my two twin sisters giggling, their blond hair bouncing. As they looked from me to each other. My glare however set them straight and they went back to eating.
"I had the cook keep your food warm"
"Thank you father" I said than looked down at my plate. I touched my beef tongue to see if it was still warm as he said. iT was.
After breakfast we gave the scraps of our food to the shrine and than some to honor our dead mother. Father always got somber around this time of the meal.
"I have an announcement to make." he said running his hands through his tri-colored hair.
"Last night the guards heard some suspicious noises around the eastern wall. He looked at all of us one by one.
"Oh no! Could he know about me and bakura!" I thought. But his eyes rested on my oldest sister, akeeja. She flipped her blond hair over her shoulder ignoring my father's gesture of his suspicion.
"Just remember to be careful if you go anywhere outside you should be careful not to go too far. There are plenty of thieves out there that might want to take something here" I looked down at the table afraid that his eyes might be resting on me.
"You are all free to go" he said waving his arms. A cheer erupted from my younger siblings as the maids came to pick them up. As I stood up from my chair I felt a foot come in contact with my ankle. Before I knew it I was falling face first toward the ground. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact but strong hands gripped me. I opened my eyes to see that my nose was just barely touching the floor. I turned to see my oldest brother, kaou gripping me tightly. Akeera! He sneered why don't you say you're sorry to your sister. She also flipped her hair over her shoulder and said
"Well I didn't do it, maybe she should get some slippers that actually fit her" She was talking about my large feet. Well to her they were anyway.
My father came to my rescue facing akeera and said,
"Did I ever tell you why your feet are so small?"
She put on her innocent face and said,
"No father I never knew?"
While they were talking I got to my feet and brushed myself off. I thanked my brother and turned around to se my father wrapping up his sentence to an unusually upset looking akeera. She glared at me than walked off, her long golden hair swishing behind her. I turned and thanked my father. Even though he could be intimidating at times and was very busy as to not have time for his family, he was no pushover.
I headed up the stairs to get back to my room. In the hall passed mahaado.
"Good morning to you princess!" he said after bowing than walked off.
"Shoot! I need to figure out how to that that necklace!" turned and watched him walk to the throne room. I could almost feel the ring calling out to me. I turned and ran, my slippers squeaking against the polished floor.
When I got to my room I closed the door. Pressing my back against it. I than sat on my bed pulling my knees up to my chest.
"Ive never stolen anything before….I don't think my sisters comb counts as a sacred item" I thought
"How am I going to get it when hes always wearing it? And how long do I have before bakura comes to collect the items?"
Hmm
"The only time I can think of that he would take it off if was if he was bathing. And even than I don't know where he would put it"
I decided to take a walk around the palace while I thought. I always found that whenever I had a problem and took a walk, wherever I stopped would be something that would solve, or help solve my problem. One time I was stressed about…..that time of the month, and walked around the palace until I got tired and stopped in front of my big sisters room. She welcomed me in and I told her of my troubles. She always gave the best advice. That is until she turned into a giant pain in the behind.
I went from the kitchen, to the garden, and than past the rooms of my brothers than my sisters. I decided to go back to the ground floor; for I had the feeling I forgot something. I was getting tired and the sun was getting lower in the sky. A servant rushed passed me. He quickly turned around and mumbled an apology before turning around and heading off.
"That's it!" I quickly ran toward the servant's quarters and stopped in front of a door. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I felt that this door was the answer to my predicament. I grasped the golden handle and threw it open.
