Chapter two

"Seth." an old priest said as he passed the two younger priest in the hall, "I'd like a explanation."

"Explanation?"

"Your behavior this past days has been inexcusable." He as he glared at the young adult with his one honey brown eye, "Do you have anything to say."

"Yes, I don't have to answer to your not the king so stop acting like you're high and mighty."

"You've become a spoil brat." Akunadin snapped and grabbed Seth's arm wrenched him down the hall.

"Let go of me!" Seth shouted and struggled against the old mans grip.

"I believe that there has been some foul play. You must be examined."

"Foul Play! Examined! Lets go of me!" Seth screamed.

"Why so resistant? If there's nothing wrong with you there shouldn't be any reason to be so -"

"Akunadin?" Atem said as he approached them, "Is there something wrong."

"No, my Pharaoh. Everything is fine." Akunadin said and released Seth.

"Good because I have to speak with Seth." Atem said stealing him away.

Seth was glad to go with Atem. It was strange to him because it was the first time he'd join with Atem willingly. They walked down the hall leaving Akunadin behind. Around the corner was the location of Atem's room like he knew. But when Atem walked him past his room Seth's interest was peaked tremendously. Atem was grinning widely and looked at Seth. If out another word he push opened the doors and revealed a made up room for a child.

"I already had it done for when I knew I'd have an heir on the way." Atem finally said when he saw Seth's face, "I'll sleep in here."

"I'll what?" Seth asked.

"Sleep in here. I know it's going to be impossible to hide the soon to come changes. It'll be best to let everyone know now! It's obvious that Akunadin believes that some foulplay has accorded. Karimu Shadi and Mahaddo- "

"NO! I don't want anyone to know! Atem I can't tell you whether I'm happy to have your heir or not. But until I'm positive that I'm even going to have her …..couldn't this be just between us."

"I suppose it would be wise to wait for a sign."

"Thank you for understanding."

"Good, now you have to understand something. When there is a sign the news will be told."

"…very well."

"Great." Atem stole a kiss from Seth and forced something into his hands. It was a mass so colors threads and gold beads.

"What am I suppose to do with this?"

"When I was born my mother wrapped me in a banket she'd woven herself. I expect you to do the same."

"I can't weave."

"Well you have awhile to learn." Atem kissed him again, "You stay here and rest."

"I'm not tired."

"Yes, you are your ill and need your rest." Atem told him, "Whatever I say goes. Remember I'm Pharaoh."

"Yes I remember." Seth said turning from him.

"Rest my sweet. I'll be back to see you soon."

Atem left Seth alone in the nursery like room. It was a very soothing atmosphere and he didn't mind it being his new room. It had a lager bed with a canopy and lager casements that showed the best view of the sea. Seth took a deep breath and was about to "obey" Atem's order to rest when a wave a nausea came over him but went away just as fast.

"BASTARD!"
