A few weeks later, I finally got the job working at Tim Horton's, everyone was all so nice, and it was a good thing that they didn't have to show me the ropes, because where I worked at a Tim Horton's before, I knew the rules, and how things are made and everything.

During one of my breaks, I was sitting outside, it was a nice, warm, summers, day. Surprisingly, not as muggy, as what was said on the news the previous night.

I was talking to some customers, when I heard my name being called, I looked to see who it was and it was, Rebecca, I smiled when she walked over. "Hey Becks."I said as I watched her sit down on the sidewalk, in front of the store.

She laughed. "Hey Kay. You coming to the museum tonight?" I nodded. "Yep I plan on it."

Tomorrow was my day off, so I was planning on staying at the museum all night. Ahkmenrah, was trying to figure out how to stay alive during the day. Even thought I told him, that it was alright, he wanted to see the new world and start a life with me. I thought it was sweet.

Our love was blossoming, and now everyone in the museum knows that we were together. It kinda got annoying to hear, Jed teased us but. I thought it was all in good fun. I heard that we were getting some new exhibits in about a week, though no one, not even Larry or Rebecca knew what they were.

I laughed when they told me that though I was kind of disapointed by the fact that they didn't know.

I still felt foolish after what happened the day after my birthday, even though it was always a painful memory, of my birthday, but I knew I had to move on. My father wouldn't want me to suffer, and I know my Uncle, Rebecca or Ahkmenrah sure didn't either. I was planning on going to the museum after work and talk to him about it..I know that it would be around 3:30, but I knew for a fact that Ahkmenrah can hear during the day, even though he was dead.

I forgot all about Rebecca sitting next to me until I felt someone's hand lightly touch my shoulder, I jumped, at the sudden contact and looked to see that Rebecca was laughing at me.

"What's so funny?"

She laughed again before brushing a tear away from her eyes. "You." She replied, I gave her a questioning look. "What do you mean?"

"You look like you were in your own little world...I thought you would want to know, that you have a minute before your break ends." I quickly looked at the timer, and sure enough it said 45 seconds.

"I will talk to you later Rebecca. I have to go to work. I'll be done at three. so two more hours."

Rebecca nodded as I went back inside.

~Ahkmenrah's POV during the day~

It was hard trying to find a way to bring me back to life during the day, I think it would do both Kayleigh and I some good. I would love to have a life with her. Not to mention have a second chance at a real life. Not worrying about ruling the people around me.

I kept hearing someone calling out my name in a whisper, though I never heard anyone enter my tomb today. To tell the truth I was right bored. Some of the conversations they had about me during the day was actually quite comical.

If I could have I would've laughed at some of the theories on how I died and how I was as a ruler, back in Ancient Egypt. The thought made me miss home a little bit.

I didn't know what time it was, but I heard footsteps coming into my tomb, I heard a thump, and a rubbing noise on my sarcophagus, as I knew that someones hand was rubbing across my coffin.

I didn't know who it was, but I quickly listened as I realized that Kayleigh was there. 'Its not sun set yet...' I thought curiously to myself as I heard her sigh.

Taking a long, deep, shaky breath, my beloved Kayleigh spoke. "I still feel guilty for...crying on you the day after my birthday. I know it was a long time and all, but I feel bad nonetheless. I know you can hear me during the day and all so...

On my fifteenth birthday my father decided to take me on a road trip with him on the transport truck, as we were driving, in a small town in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, what seemed like to be a drunk driver, kept on slowing down in front of us, as well as weaving in and out of traffic.

After awhile it stopped, and as we tried to pass him, he sped up...and as my dad turned the wheel of the tranport a little to quickly because it did a Jack-Knife, and because of it caused the truck to go dangerously close to the edge of a mountain, it was high enough that we could be brought to our deaths because of it.

As the tuck and trailer met, they both fell on one side, and both truck and trailer was ready to go over. Anyways, long story short, my father died of a heart attack shortly after the truck was pulled onto both sets of wheels.

I know I should let it go...its just that...I miss him so much Ahkmenrah! If you do find a way to stay alive during the day, if you do get a second chance at life, we get married...my father won't be there...to walk me down the aisle...he won't be there...for his first grandchild...I wanted to tell you this awhile back but...It was painful, but where we're together I felt as though you should know."

I heard her sniff, as she finished crying, I wish I could've came out of my sarcophagus and wrap my arms around her that very moment. I knew that I'm going to ask her some questions about some of the terminology used nowadays.

No sooner had I thought it, Kayleigh spoke again "If you have any questions just ask me tonight about it. I gotta go and get changed. I love you, hun."

As I heard her walk away, I also heard her scream and a thump, following it. I could've rolled my eyes. I knew that she tripped over something. I told her to watch where she was going, of course she didn't listen to me.

"I'm ok!" she yelled. 'I'm going to have to bug her tonight,'

With that, I fell asleep again, and woke up, this time it was sundown, I opened my sarcophagus, and saw Kayleigh leaning on the wal, just by the entrance, her eyes were closed and her head was leaning against the wall, I carefully walked over to her, and I brought my hands out to touch her shoulders when...

~Kayleigh's Point of View~

Somone grabbed my shoulders and I jumped and brought my hand and smacked the person in the face, I opened my eyes, and gasped.

"OH AHKMENRAH!" I yelled. I ran over and fell to my knees. "I'm so so so so so so so so SOOO Sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! Holy shit though DO NOT scare me like that again!"

He looked at me speechless. After a few minutes of staring at each other though he was rubbing the part where I smacked him. I looked at him with a sympathetic look, he smiled as he finally got up and walked over to me wrapping his arms gently around me.

"I didn't mean to smack you.." I whispered, he just chuckled and pulled away from me. I didn't realize but his jackals were going to strike, they had their spears pointing at me, dangerously close. Ahkmenrah looked angry at them and said something in Egyptian, they quickly withdrew their spears, and as I looked to what they did, they bowed at me and moved to their posts.

"Were they...?" I didn't have to finish my sentence because Ahkmenrah nodded, looking at his gaurdians again. I gulped. "So what did you say?"

He smiled. "I said that you are my other half, as well as Larry's niece." I smiled, and gave him a quick peck on the lips. With that we walked out of his tomb into the brightened hallway, and walked downstairs to the lobby, it was dance night. I loved to dance and listen to all my favourite songs.

"I am sorry that I smacked you,hun."

"How many times do you have to keep apologizing my sweet, I'm alright." He chuckled, I leaned my head on his shoulder, as we walked over to Rebecca, Teddy, My uncle, my cousin, Sacajawea, Jed and Octavius.

I heard Jed's voice first. "Here comes the two love birds." I blushed at this, but everyone knew that we were together, but just the way that he said it, it was like he was acting like my brother. I rolled my eyes, and stuck my tongue out.

"I know what you can do with that tongue, there sweetheart." I stopped at Jed's words. I turned away from Ahkmenrah, and picked up the remote control car, and grabbed Jed, bringing him over to a corner so that the others wouldn't hear.

"Excuse me?"

He gulped. "N..n..nothing.."

I smirked. "It better be nothing little cowboy, because if you say anything like that again...I'm going to dress up like a girl and call you a cross-dresser, understand?" He gulped again, and nodded, I walked back over, and raising an eyebrow at Jed, so that he knew that I wasn't joking, I set him back in the car, with Octavius.

"Farewell m'lady, your majesty." We then saw Octavius bow, I giggled, when I heard my uncle. "What a kiss ass!"

Grabbing Ahkmenrah's hand we took off towards the double doors that lead to the loading dock. Once we got there, I left a bag full of art supplies that I used to draw with, by the corner to the opening of the loading dock and took them out, as well as pictures taken in Hartland, Moncton and Gagetown.

Ahkmenrah came over and looked over my shoulders, and saw that I had pictures with me. "What are these?"

"Pictures..." I looked at him in time to see him roll his eyes at me. I smacked him. "Ow! I meant..where are they taken?"

"Oh...uhh they were taken in New Brunswick Canada...I used to live there see, I went to high school, in Hartland, where this picture of the school..."

I brought up a picture of a building, that had a Canadian flag, as well as the New Brunswick flag in the front yard, where a few crossed were out, with what appeared to be red flowers, upon them.

"Whats with the red flowers and the crosses?"

"This picture was taken November 11th, the day that we remember the soldiers...all soldiers who fought for our freedom, the crosses, of course resembles death, and the poppies, resembles, Love, Peace Happiness. Would you like to hear a poem that was written during either WWI, or WWII?"

He nodded, so I continued:

"Its called; In Flanders Fields.

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow,
between the crosses row on row,
They mark our place and in the sky,
That larks still bravely, singing, fly.
Scarce heard, amid the guns below
We are the dead short days ago,
We lived,
Felt dawn,
Saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved,
And now we lie in Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrels with our foe,
To you from failing hands we throw
The course be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow..
In Flanders fields..."

Once I was finished, he looked at me. "Was that your poem that you thought of?"

I shook my head. "No...I believe it was a doctor/soldier who wrote this poem." I looked at another picture, this time it was of The Longest Covered Bridge in the world. Ahkmenrah took it, and examined it.

"When was it built?"

I thought for a moment "...It was built in 1901..Though..I don't really think its not the longest covered bridge anymore...I believe its the oldest..though...I could be wrong..."

I forgot that we were sitting on the loading dock floor, just examining the pictures and while Ahkmenrah was fascinated by them, he was also curious, so when I got through all the pictures, including my drawings,

We snuggled up close to each other, and I was leaning on his shoulder, with one hand holding his, as my other one was playing with his ear, I felt him shiver. "What was that shiver about?" I laughed. He turned his head as far as he could and smiled.

"I love it when you do that my love."

I smiled again. "I love you too."

He laughed, and started to caress the back of my hand with his thumb, as well as played with my daughter's pride ring. It was gold, with hearts, and around it was a garnet in the middle, and two dark blue stones on either side. I got that on my eighteenth birthday.

After a few minutes of silence, Ahkmenrah spoke softly. "I heard what you said earlier today when you fell..."

I smiled, and hid my face in his robes. "Yeah?"

"I'm sorry about your father, Kay. I wish I could've met him..." He whispered the last six letters. I heard them though, and looked him in the eyes. "Really?"

He nodded. "Really..."

I smiled. As I began to speak my voice started to break. "I wish...he was here...to meet you...I know he would've loved you..." A tear ran down my face but it didn't get far, as Ahkmenrah smiled lightly as he brushed it off.

"He's always with you..."He held onto my hand tighter. I nodded. "I know...but...Ahkmenrah...I never even got the chance to say goodbye...or even that I loved him, I wish I did..."

"I know my sweet, I know..."he pulled me onto his lap and rocked me gently back and forth. After a few minutes of doing so I sighed. "I'm sorry...I know...that it was a long time ago... but...every birthday...it...always comes back stronger and stronger...the pain...it won't go away..."

He nodded. "Kayleigh...let me tell you something...it never goes away..it may dull, but it would never go away..." he whispered and I saw the same look the day after my birthday, the look of pain and sorrow in his eyes.

He sighed as I got off of him, and sat in front of him, reaching out and grasping his hand lightly, he clasped his hand around mine, in an instant. "If you want to talk, Ahk...I'm always here."

He nodded, and closed his eyes, he looked as though, he was holding back the tears he's been holding the past 3,000 years.

He finally spoke...

"When I was a young child...I...had a friend, well more like a servant, that was a year younger then me, she was amazing, he always treated me like a person, instead of a Prince of Egypt, she still respected me mind you...but she always spoke her mind..."

He looked at me, and I nodded for him to continue. So he did.

"Her name was Amunet...she had long black hair, she was...the most beautiful girl, in my time...before I met you, Kayleigh...Anyways on one day, we were playing outside, tag to me exact, yes Kayleigh, we had tag back then..."

I smiled, as he continued.

"As we were playing, my older brother, Kahmunrah came up with two guards, he looked at Amunet with disgust, then at me with pity, we stopped playing and stared at my brother. he, without and explanation, or answer to our questions the guards took Amunet away I tried to free her, but my brother, who was in charge of the gaurds at the time...said no, she goes to the dungeon...the next day...I saw her...being...stabbed in the heart. There was nothing I could do."

I gasped as I heard this, and brought both hands to my mouth as I heard him say this. Tears well up in my eyes, and I didn't do anything as I let the tears fall. I felt so bad for him. How could his brother...his own brother do that! I looked at his face as tears began flowing freely now, I got on my knees and leaned over and pulled him into an embrace, rubbing my hand through his hair, letting him cry in my shoulder. I couldn't stand seeing him like this, I knew that he needed this right now.

"He...he told my father...and the high preist...that...she was trying to kill him...trying to k-kill my brother..." he sobbed, my heart felt like it was breaking. I didn't say anything, just soothing words.

"Shh..its alright...let it out hun...let it out."

After a few minutes, I backed away as he let out a shaky breath, I looked at my watch and saw that it was 2 hours until the sun rose. I got up, and with him still on the floor, I held out both my hands and as soon as he grabbed them,I gently helped him up. I pulled him into an embrace, and rocked him back and forth. Pulling him back, I brought up both hands and caressed his cheeks. I leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Come on Ahkmenrah...its about ten minutes to sunrise now..." I pulled him gently as soon as I saw him nod in understanding.

When we got to the tomb, and to his sarcophagus, he turned me around and hugged me. "Thank you Kayleigh."

"You're welcome hun...I want you to know...that I'm always here for you...no matter what."

"As I am for you..."

With that we kissed again, and I watched him as he got into his sarcophagus, and as he got in I left for the lobby.
