Chapter 26

Recovering Part II

"Is that all you need father?" Caius asked while standing up from his chair. Leonius looked up from his chair. "There is one more thing. Tell me son, how are things going with Amera?" Caius blinked. "Things are going well, why?"

Leonius just shrugged before closing his eyes. "I'm just asking. You know, there have been many rumors in town about your lovely Egyptian wife." This made Caius raise an eyebrow. "Oh really? What rumors?" Caius asked while sitting back down.

Leonius just smiled. "Nothing serious son." The smile soon turned into a lecherous grin. "So, man between man, how is that lovely beauty in bed?"

Caius gaped at his father. "W-what?"

Leonius leaned back in his chair. "Come now Caius, it was merely a question. So…how is she?" Caius said nothing. But, his face suddenly turned red when he remembered his first time seeing Amera without any clothing. Noticing the expression on his son's, Leonius grinned before laughing and roughly slapped Caius on his back.

Caius weakly glared at his father before standing up abruptly. "I'm leaving now, see you later." He said colder than intended. However, this went unnoticed by the lord. Once he walked out the dark room, the roman sighed while the sudden breeze hit him.

"Ah, ha! There you are!"

Caius whipped around and saw Amera stalking towards him. Her appearance made his breath hitch. The long golden hair he loved to bury his face in was curled and wavy and it fell into those sun golden eyes. She also wore a long white dress. Expecting a hug or a gentle kiss, Caius held out his arms. But, he was sent reeling down onto the cold hard ground, his face stinging.

Cradling his face, Caius looked up at his wife who was breathing harshly, holding her fist. "You….you…bastard! I fucking HATE you!" Amera yelled, kicking the roman.

"What are you talking about Amera?" Caius yelled himself, trying to avoid the girl's kicks. But, this seemed to anger the Egyptian even more. Aries, who was behind her mistress tried to calm her down but to no avail.

"There are people saying that I was a gift to you! That I was just a whore?"

Caius blinked as Amera continued. "Why don't you tell these people that you actually proposed to me?"

"Wait, Amera, I know nothing of this. Honest!" Caius yelled as he stood up. Amera just folded her arms over her chest. "I highly doubt that." This made Caius angry. "Why would I tell something like that to everyone?"

"I don't know! Maybe some of those friends of yours did it!" This made Caius eyes narrow sharply. "Don't blame them for this Amera." The Egyptian girl just growled and pulled at her hair. "Just, shut up!"

Leonius came from out of the room looking panicked. "Hey, hey, what's going on in here?"

Amera turned her back to the Roman lord. "Ask him...bastard." She hissed quietly.

Leonius looked back at his son who was still holding onto his face.

"Caius?"

The younger roman sighed, while taking his hand from his face it was red and swollen slightly. Of course, Leonius was surprised that Amera could hit that hard.

"These rumors, everyone is saying that she is an Egyptian whore…"

Amera whipped around and pointed to her husband. "So, you do admit it!" Caius glared at Amera. "Shut up! And let me finish." Amera growled, "Don't tell me to shut up!" She said while trying to make her way over to him, intent to hit again but Leonius grabbed the back of her dress just in time.

"Okay young lady, hold your horses. I want you to calm down. They're only rumors."

Amera blinked before she started to tear up. "B-But…"

"Calm down, please." Leonius pleaded he was relieved when he saw the girl sighed and became relaxed. "Okay, I'm sorry Lord Leonius."

The raven haired roman just sighed and placed her back onto the ground. "Take your friend there and enjoy the things around the palace alright?" Nodding, Amera grabbed Aries hand and walked off, but, not before glaring at her husband. That glare made him shiver. It was just like the one the high priest gave him before he left with his daughter.

Both Caius and Leonius watched as the girls leave. Once they were both out of sight, Caius's father laughed before slapping his son on his back again which made the prince wince in pain. "Such a feisty woman! It's so hard to find a girl like her in these parts!"

Leonius looked at his son's face before adding… "She has a mean left hook too. Man, what a girl!" He said before walking off in the direction as Amera.

Caius only groaned before looking up at the sky and held his throbbing face. What had he gotten himself into?

Back at the palace, Isis stood besides Tainkhit who was preparing to get Amerkert's body ready for burial.

"Are you sure you want to help me, Isis?" The older healer asked, looking back at the younger woman. Isis nodded while holding onto the bowl that she held. "Yes, I'm sure. I want to do this."

Tainkhit jus chuckled before turning back around. "As you wish, you know, some of the priests believe that it wasn't a human who killed Lady Amerkert." This made Isis look up in confusion and in disbelief. But Tainkhit just continued as she looked through some dry herbs for the embalming. "Think about it. It was a snake that bit the young lady; she always kept that one particular snake with her, wherever she went." Tainkhit placed the herbs into her own bowl before turning back around. "I think….that she had a connection to a certain deity, just like the one she had with our Amun."

"You…really think that Lady Tainkhit?" Isis asked while following the woman. She watched as the healer's hair swayed with her movements.

"Yes, I do believe it. Lady Amerkert was…a special woman; Being chosen to bare the children of such a powerful god. I also believe she could have been corrupted by someone else. It was possible." She said before entering the room where Amerkert's body was kept at.

'Maybe Tainkhit is right…maybe Amerkert was doing things beyond her will…' Isis thought but was brought from her thoughts when she heard a loud crash. She looked up and saw the other healer's eyes wide, her hand clasping over her mouth. Looking closely, she could see her shaking. Following Tainkhit gaze, one the stone like bed where Amerkert's body once laid was a bloody imprint of the woman's body, and three or four snakes slithered in it; their body's black with the aging blood.

"What is going on here?" Isis whispered.

Back in Isis chambers, Yami had fallen asleep but his hand still held onto Yugi's. His eyes twitched in his sleep. Even in his sleep, he could've sworn he head something.

"Yami…"

There was a soft but chilling giggle that followed. Groaning, Yami sat up, rubbing his eyes and that's when he saw something. His eyes were still blurry, but, he could've sworn he saw his sister's bloody form, blood all over her now dark clothing she wore. And from her neck, blood trickled down her pale skin. Of course, Yami jumped up, knocking down the seat that he once sat in. His eyes wide with horror. The sudden sound made Yuugi whimper in his sleep, but it quickly down and he went back into his peaceful drug-like state. The pharaoh looked down at his lover before looking back at the door.

He'd seen his sister.

But…she was dead….

What the hell was going on here?!

That's when he heard that chilling giggle again. And those voices calling him, it sounded like it- or what ever it was- was whispering it in his ear softly.

"Yami…time to play…"

"That's it!" Yami yelled, grabbing Yuugi from the bed and rushed out the door. He didn't know what the hell was going on but he wasn't about to wait around and find out. His eyes narrowed before looking back down at Yuugi. He had to find Set. Maybe could explain what was going on.

Okay, short I know. But, I have a lot of things to do. Next chapter will be coming soon, maybe before the thanksgiving week. I don't know, But, I'll try!
