Yu-Gi-Oh! 2

My stepfather had ordered me to call him sir or master several minutes ago. He finished eating and leaves the house making me pick up the plate. After finishing I then start to gather up all the dirty garments from everyone's room and not including mine into a large basket and head outside to a small backyard. I put the basket down, grab a large barrel and fill it with water and begin washing laundry. I begin singing a song that mother sang to me as a child before she married him. After each garment was washed I hang it on a long clothesline so that it can dry in the sun and then return into the house to make something to eat, however the twins had other ideas for me.

Once they see me they start handing me items "put those away immediately Ebio and don't dottle, we want something to eat right after you are done, didn't we tell you to cover that disgusting color hair with something" they utter with contempt and hatred towards me as they head to their room. I follow them and put everything in my hands away "if your mother didn't marry father you would have been out on the street, like a beggar" Anit coldly mentioned as she laughs, "since you are done, make me and Hatshepsut something to eat" she decreed in her usual demanding voice. I head into the kitchen to make the twins something to eat when Aahmes runs into the kitchen and hugs me "Ebio, when your ready can I have something to eat please" he pleads to me with his innocent and kind voice. A smile crosses my lips "let me get the twins their snacks and I'll make you something" I softly retort and finish the twins' snacks and hand it to them and then start Aahmes own snack. After that I begin all the afternoon chores, the twins with nothing else to do immediately initiate orders for the rest of the evening.

It is later in the evening and I'm almost done with dinner. My stepfather then walks into the house "how many times have I asked you, dinner should be ready when I get home!" he bellows at me furiously grabbing onto my small arm violently and tightly "I'm sorry the twins made me do a lot before dinner" I answered sincerely "Don't lie to me" he screams towards me in anger. His hands is raised and hits me across the face hard at this time the twins watch this and laugh, "Father if you punish her, she wont be able to do all the chores," they both intervene whining at their father. He lets go of my arm I look down to my arm and see a large red mark and speedily run to the kitchen and serve dinner to the family. "As punishment you chores will be doubled tomorrow" he delivers as he finishes dinner. The twins smile "what should we make her do tomorrow" the twin's murmur to each other as I pick up their mess. Aahmes looks at me with sad eyes as I clean up. I then head to wash up to see a large red mark on my face from where he struck me.

It is the next day and I am at the market place with the twins holding onto their newest purchases. A sigh escaped my mouth "To bad Ebio, you can't have any of these items that we have, and besides you're just the servant" they say towards me in an evil playful tone as they purchase new hairpins. Silent tears roll down my face as they just talk happily amongst themselves, I start thinking about mother. I wonder if she is watching this happen in the Afterlife "Mother what should I do?" I tell myself as Anit stares at me " EBIO! Pay attention you twat, pay this lady," screams Anit handing me the coin bag. I snap back into reality and pay the merchant for the items. All three of us then return home "Ebio make something for us to eat now" says Hatshepsut in her usual bossy tone, which I do. Once I'm finished making the twins their snacks I then grab a snack for myself and finish up my chores at the same time.

I am in the kitchen organizing the shelves; when my stepfather walks into the house with Aahmes "Ebio are you here?" he questioned shouting from the front room. "I'm in the kitchen" I respond "I need you to go to the market place again grab more parchment, ink and quills" he quips as I exit the kitchen "yes sir" I reply as he tosses a coin bag to me "make sure that it is only these items, if there is any change bring it back" he states and I grab my favorite basket again "Father can I accompany Ebio?" asks Aahmes. Stepfather sighs "fine go I don't care" he counters exasperated and annoyed. A smile crosses my lips as the both of us leave the house. We are in the marketplace; the breeze that passes through feels amazing as my long beige raggedy outfit moves with the breeze. I quickly cover my right upper thigh so that my birthmark will not show.

A sigh of relief escapes my mouth as Aahmes grabs my hand and smiles widely and brightly towards me. "Lets get going" he exclaims as he drags towards the marketplace, a bright smile crosses my face as the both of us make it to the market as he drags me with him. We then bump into someone making the both of us fall to the ground. "I'm so sorry," utters a girl's voice and we look to see a girl about my age with long brown hair and cobalt blue eyes. Aahmes smiles at her "its alright it was my fault to begin with" he says. A group of middle age woman and other servants surround the girl "Airi please do not run off like that alright" cries one of the middle age woman.

The girl known as Airi smiles brightly towards the middle age woman "sorry" she answer back giving off a cute laugh. I then start giggling a little "I'm sorry you just remind me of my stepbrother a little" I respond by laughing. The middle age woman looks at her "Airi please get all the materials from the vendors that is needed for the palace" she says towards Airi "yes Mam" she replies and heads off cheerfully. She smiles "that girl has a heart of gold but she can space out easily" she says smiling; she bows and leaves the both of us.

After a while I acquired all the items that I was asked to purchase and start to become disappointed because I really did not want to return. Aahmes looks at me with a bright smile and grabs my hand and we walk back home together. On the way I see an old vendor woman trying to pick something heavy up from the ground. "Aahmes please hold the basket." I verbalize and went to help her "thank you young one, when you are at this age its hard to get things done" she remarks and smiles. She is wearing a raggedy style gypsy outfit, her eyes are brown but if I look close enough there is a hint of pure gold color around her pupils. She smiles brightly "thank you, its not every day a young maiden like yourself saves an old woman like me" she says smiling. I bow "your welcome" I answer back and return with Aahmes back home.

The old lady sighs and smiles "she has grown, but she is so puny and short, like her mother…" exclaims the old lady as a beautiful silver Egyptian mau with bright gold eyes wearing a large golden collar around its neck. The cat jumps on top of the table of the stall stretching and yawning, "what are you doing here?" asks the old lady, but the cat doesn't reply. However the cat smiles and lies down falling asleep "I can't believe this" expresses the old woman as she sighs "why did Ra make me work with you" she mumbles under her breath and sighs.

It is the next morning and I'm making breakfast in the kitchen, when I hear my stepfather talking with Aahmes about his future in the Royal Guard. However I knew that if I get involved I would get into trouble so all I could do is listen to what they are saying. A sigh escapes my lips and begin to set the kitchen table "sir breakfasts ready" I tell him and put the plates filled with food on the table as he becomes silent as I say that "well talk later" he asserts to Aahmes as the both of them head to the table to have their breakfast. A sigh escapes from his mouth in an annoyed tone "I hope that Prince Atemu becomes Pharaoh soon since Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen has fallen ill" he says as he starts eating his breakfast. After hearing that I started to think "I just hope Ra can heal him and make him better" I say to myself "Ebio, I have some work for you today" he affirms and writes some errands and chores on a piece of parchment for me to finish before the evening. I start to read the list and think to myself once more "I won't be able to finish all of this by tonight" I mentally state while reading the list. He stares at me coldly "you better finish all that by this evening or you will not have any dinner" he warns me in a stern voice, "yes sir" is all that came out of my mouth and head back to the kitchen to make breakfast for the twins.

The twins have just finished their breakfast. I head into the kitchen and begin the chores around the house. The twins leave to go to a small celebration for a friend's engagement to a Royal Guard, leaving me behind to do everything as usual. The silence was unnerving, but it was peaceful, which was what I really wanted so that nothing will distract me from finishing the chores. After all my chores are completed I quickly head out of the house to do errands for my stepfather.

I just arrived at the marketplace to see people are talking seriously to each other about something that seams really important "Ebio" says a voice. I turn to see one of the vendors who has a stern look on his face "What's wrong ojiisan?" I probe the vendor curiously "I heard that the Pharaoh had to put a curfew and martial law due to the increase attacks on the near by villages by Touzoku Bakura" he articulates in a serious voice "the deadly King of Thieves?" I question him in a shocked voice "yes so please make sure that your stepfather does not make you do any errands this evening" he says to I in a concerned voice. A smile crossed my lips "thanks for worrying about me" I answer back.

Since talking with the vendor I make sure that all of my chores are finished quickly before curfew begins. I return to the house to put all the items in their proper place, at the same time my birthmark starts to burn un-controllably. This was not the first time that this happened to me so I completely ignore it and continue what I was doing.

Its morning once again and I finished making breakfast as usual and begin setting the table when I hear a knock at the door. "Ebio get the door," says my stepfather as he sits at the table. I open the door to see a messenger from the palace "I have an invitation for the captain, it's for the upcoming coronation events, especially the balls" he says and bows towards me and leaves. I close the door and return to my stepfather as a sigh escapes my lips and start to think to myself "a party while Bakura is out there on a killing spree? What's with the palace?" was all that went through my mind and hand him the parchments and scroll. He opens the scroll up "well it seams that Prince Atemu will be crowned Pharaoh next month" he says with a smile.

The sound of quickened feet comes rushing towards my stepfather revealing the twins. "Really" they scream in excitement. "Yes there will be several balls and VIP events coming up" he says looking at his daughters "it may be that they are speeding up the ceremony due to Bakura" he says as he puts the invitations and scrolls into a drawer and locks it. "Ebio will have no choice but to make our dresses for the balls and all of the VIP events," the girls emit excitedly with squealing voices. A sigh escaped my mouth "great on top of my chores I have to make outfits for them". The twins leave the room squealingin excitement.

It seams that I may have accidentally gotten carried away with this chapter. I'm SORRY. I had a little too much fun writing. But thank you for reading. I have combined Fairy Tale themes that everyone knows and has grown up with. Please deduce which Fairy Tales I was inspired by in this fanfiction. Please write your comments below.

Oh I forgot one thing: For future reference chapters 5 and on will become longer than I have previously written them. I am sorry for changing the length of the chapters. I am going to be busy and may not have a lot of time to write. Also the stories may take me a little longer to upload, since I'm also writing two other series.

Thanks Again
