Key of Egypt: Amun and Kebi

by Mistress Twist

Amun took an interest to his latest purchase; she was obedient and worked when she was told without any argument. It amazed him, but there was something more than met the eye... *Please note that I wrote this before The Illustrated Guide came out. Therefore, all the information that was in that book, I had no knowledge until about two years after this story was written*

11. Epilogue: Forgotten

Epilogue: Forgotten

Kebi ended up rummaging back to the town of Suez. It was one of those rare days that she traveled alone without Amun. She didn't like it, but she too wanted to see what Suez was like now without her. She also wanted to see who would recognize her in her new state of being a vampire. It was about five years so there was a possibility that someone could recognize her. No one did recognize her yet, but she recognized quite a few people. They say that a vampire's human memory were vague, but Kebi could remember most of it shortly before meeting Amun.

Walking through the streets of Suez with the sun behind her, she saw the merchants that she used to clap to and sing along to along with the tambourines and the chants. In her mind, she sang along with them. She remembered escaping there after she finished her mother's chores and having the free time. She saw some of her sisters' friends… and her sisters… but they never saw her or looked up once from their conversation to notice her. To them, she was another drifter just passing through. They were happy without her moving on in their lives with their husbands' right by their sides. It didn't matter to Kebi; it wasn't like they would waste time with her anyway if she was still here. To her sisters, she was always invisble, it was no surpise to her that she would be invisible to them now.

The huts were the same and pretty much nothing changed. Kebi saw an older woman near obviously new water well talking to some other older woman. Both were laughing. The woman Kebi was focusing on had her hair tied up in messed up bun with slight gray showing along with chunks of lose hair flying around from the light breeze. Her brown eyes were squinting from the sun's rays, Kebi could see that a mile away. From Kebi's keen eyesight, she saw bags under her eyes and her face looking worn from exhaustion. To Kebi, she looked very familiar. The woman was in fact her mother. Kebi could recognize that face anywhere. Aside from more wrinkles and the gray in the woman's hair, she looked the same.

Acebath Nuri paused the conversation with the other woman and looked straight at Kebi not sure who she was. She noticed that she was staring at her. Could it be? She thought. Could it be Kebi? It can't be, this girl is pale-like, and red eyed and stronger than Kebi ever was. Besides, Kebi's… gone. But how could a mother not recognize her own daughter? She shook it off and went on pumping water from the well and continuing her conversation as if she never paused it in the first place. Kebi was nothing but a memory of what was.

Just as Kebi thought: she was forgotten in this little town and by the world she once knew, never to be welcomed back.
