Cairo moves uncomfortably in bed that same night those men came into the village. She couldn't stop thinking about the incident. She rolls over to lie on her stomach, then to her back and then back to her stomach. She blows out a puff of air causing the hair in front of her face to flutter then land back on her face.

"Can't sleep?" asks her father who is lying beside her with his arms behind his head and his eyes focusing on the ceiling.

"No. I can't get the previous events out of my head."

"I see." Silence comes after those two words, allowing Cairo to think a little bit more on the matter. She rests her chin on her arms and looks to the wall ahead of her with narrowed eyes. When she cannot come up with a conclusion to the answers in her head, she groans loudly. "Cairo."

"Why do they allow themselves to be treated this way?" she asks looking at him.

"I was wondering the exact same thing actually. Perhaps they believe that their leader is so powerful that they cannot rise up against him and his men."

"Perhaps…" Atem's eyes go in his daughter's direction. She is now sitting up with her arms folded across her chest and a serious gaze on her face as she thinks more on the situation. She groans in frustration and he shakes his head.

"You shouldn't stress yourself out about this. Get some rest."

"I want to but—"

"Cairo." She lets out a sigh of defeat before lying back down with her back facing him.

'I just wish I could help,' she thinks to herself before closing her eyes.

Crystal grins as she sneaks into the room that Cairo is staying in the next morning. Atem already out of the room makes it easier for her to scare Cairo. She approaches the unsuspecting victim who lies on the bed with the covers over her whole entire body. Right before Crystal is about to scare her, Cairo's eyes fly open and Crystal jumps back, startled.

"Ah shoot. And I was so close too," Crystal says with disappointment as Cairo sits up with her hair all over the place. Crystal on the other hand is already dressed in her dress and her hair is put into two neat pig tails that rest on her shoulders. Cairo gives her a quick glare before rolling her eyes. "I see you're not a morning person."

"How can I help you?" Cairo asks.

"Well since you're probably gonna be staying here for awhile until someone finds you and your dad, you can help me plant the crops outside."

"Crops?" Crystal nods as she walks up to the bed and sits on it beside Cairo who moves away uncomfortably.

"Yes. But of course, you'd have to do something with that hair of yours," she says, her face moving closer to Cairo's.

"Too close." Cairo starts moving back but each time she does that, Crystal moves forward. She gasps as Crystal grabs her hair and a brush and she starts to brush her hair down. "You're making me feel very uncomfortable." She hates when anyone gets too close to her besides her parents.

"I'm just fixing this hair of yours. I couldn't bear to look at the monstrosity any longer."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Your hair is a mess. But don't you worry. I'll have it fixed up in a jiffy. Maybe I should put it in a ponyt—"

Cairo quickly moves away and stands up with her arms folded and her eyes narrowed. "You are not putting my hair in a pony tail. Out of the question!"

"How can you work if you have so much hair in your face?"

"I can manage thank you," says Cairo walking out of the room with Crystal following her close behind with the brush still in her hand. "I dislike my hair in a ponytail."

"And why's that?" Cairo stops and turns around with a pout on her face. She raises her hand to lift part of her hair to flash one of her ears and Crystal nearly bursts out laughing. Instead she giggles before Cairo turns away. "Wow. Where did you get such big ears?"

"My father…"

"Ha! That explains everything! Haha!"

"Shut up!" Cairo exclaims and she storms off with Crystal still behind her. They meet up with their parents who are in the kitchen. Crystal continues to laugh while Cairo groans. "I said shut up!"

"Cairo. We do not talk to people that way," Atem reprimands her and his daughter glances his way with narrowed eyes and gritted teeth.

"Gah! It's all your fault!" Cairo yells at him.

"What?" Atem asks, looking confused. Then his eyes widen in realization before he sighs, placing a hand on his forehead. 'The ear thing again. Why can't she ever let that go? I can't help that she inherited most of my genes.'

"We're going outside to do the crops grandpa," Crystal chuckles and her grandfather nods as the two girls walk out.

"Ah, they grow up so fast don't they?" Adam asks and Atem nods in agreement. "I'm glad Crystal found a friend."

'Friend? By the looks of it Cairo doesn't consider her one at all,' Atem says in his head with a sweat drop and his eyes dimmed down.

"I can remember when she was just a little baby," Adam goes on, bringing Atem out of his thoughts.

"Oh, I'm actually expecting another one," Atem reveals and Adam's eyes widen in surprise.

"Is that so? Well congratulations."

"Thank you. I just really wish that I could get back to my wife. She needs me especially when the baby should be coming soon. But I have no idea where we are or where they are."

"Don't worry. I'm sure that someone will find you soon and reunite you with your wife."

"Yes."

"On a serious note Crystal," Cairo says wiping the dirt off her face with her arm. "Have you guys ever thought about standing up to Siegfried?"

"Well I've thought about it. Everyone else is too afraid to do anything," she replies looking at Cairo now. "One of these days I'm gonna go after him myself."

"That's not too smart."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Because Siegfried has a lot of men. How do you plan on even getting near him?"

"I'll think of a way!" Cairo shakes her head. "You don't think I can do it do you?"

"No," Cairo replies bluntly with a blank stare making Crystal narrow her eyes and growl inwardly.

"I'll show you! Just you wait!"

"Um…okay."

Later on that night while everyone is in bed sleeping from a hard day, Crystal tip toes out of her house. The dirt roads are empty and the lights to everyone's houses are off. She looks ahead, further into the distance where there is a huge castle on a hill that belongs to Siegfried. 'Siegfried here I come.' She starts toward that direction but stops when a pair of headlights come on from behind her. Her head whips around to see a truck. She can hear the engine starting and soon it comes at her.

Crystal lets out a scream as she prepares to be struck. But something softer hits her and soon she finds herself flying until she hits the ground out of the trucks path. She sits up and looks beside her to see Cairo. "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing?! Are your trying to get yourself killed?" Crystal opens her mouth to speak again until she hears the truck's engine again. She and Cairo gasp as the trucks speeds their way, about to hit them.
