Nefera de Nile was the eldest daughter of Ramses and Dedyet de Nile, King and Queen of Ancient Egypt. The de Nile dynasty had stopped when Ramses' brother had committed a coup d'état, and they had to get mummified in magic bandages to keep their bodies perfectly safe. Dedyet was lost before she could get mummified, and when they woke up, 5825 years later, Nefera and her younger sister, Cleo, were left alone with their father.

Now awoken for ten years, Nefera had grieved her mother. She was close to her father, who had raised her as a future ruler, but she wasn't the best sister one could ever dream for. She loved the fact that she was a future Queen, but it came along with some forbiddings that her sister didn't share with her, and she was kind of jealous of that. Nefera wasn't allowed to make mistakes, if she did, she was scared that her father would choose to pass the crown to Cleo, and that just wasn't possible.

Back then in Monster High, she had been the Fearleaders' Captain and even was rewarded many times for her skills. So much that she was known for being the most decorated Fearleader Captain of all times! Her father used to be so proud of her… Despite her royalness, she also held a record for the most money earned for charity! What a selfless princess she was.


Nefera went to Monster High until two years ago when she graduated and decided she would try herself at modeling in Milan. She didn't like it as much as she thought she would and spent most of her time there doing shopping with her father's credit card. Needless to say that he nearly killed her when he learned. He had demanded her to come back to New Salem immediately and had grounded her for two months. He was disappointed in her. As she felt like she would lose the crown, she spent most of last year sabotaging her little sister.

Cleo told her father, who grounded Nefera again, and this time until their father would tell so. It's been three months now. And she couldn't get out of the palace on her own. Her father had used some amulets' powers to keep her inside the palace. It allowed people to visit but she couldn't go. She was trapped in a golden cage! Or rather, palace. She was bored. In the first weeks, she had stayed in her room, pouting. She would only get out of her bedroom to shower and eat. She didn't answer her father when he asked her questions about her day, mostly because she had spent her day crying, and there was no way she would voice that in front of Cleo.

After three weeks, she had stayed in the royal library, reading ancient books to find a way to break the spell put on the palace's doors. She didn't find anything about it, but she learned to charm snakes and had fun practicing on Cleo's boyfriend's hair. It made her sister enrage, she loved it.

After two months, she started exploring the entirety of the palace. She had found out that they had many hidden rooms, and had spent her days wandering in each of them.

Recently, Nefera spent most of her days next to the palace's pool. Understand that she spent most of her days in the nearest room to the pool. She had tried to ask her father if she could at least take a swim but he answered she had a bathtub and that she should stick to that for now. It saddened Nefera to know that her father didn't trust her anymore but she felt like she deserved it.


So one day, she decided to take a bath to freshen up a little, after what she dressed to go to the library since she noticed a few books that could be just what she needed to break the spell. She put on a white pair of pants and an orange silk shirt to which she let most of the buttons open. She tied a knot with the end of the shirt so that the servants won't be able to see her breasts and got out of her room to go directly to the library, barefoot.

Just when she passed in front of the living room, she thought she heard a knock on the door and she instantly stopped breathing.

Who could that be?, she thought, No one ever knocks here.

She glanced at the front door through the columns and saw someone coming in. It was a boy. A human, she could say.

What the hell? Why would any human venture here?

She looked at him, hidden behind a column. He was tall, he wore a white tee-shirt and a pair of grey jeans. He had black hair and glasses. He looked lost. And she was really curious to know who he was.

Thinking she had nothing to lose by asking him, she did so while taking a few steps closer to him. She could see his eyes widen as she stepped forward, and she realized how she missed that. The look on boys' faces when they first saw her. She knew she had the ability to enchant men, and she had taken profit of that when she was supposed to raise money for that silly charity event.

"Um... I'm Jake. I mean Jackson, I knocked and I got in because it was open. I have to give this to Cleo.", he said, showing the folder he held in his hands.

She said nothing but got even closer and ripped the folder from him, he had no reaction as she read through Frankie's grades. She was looking for something that could get Cleo down, this wouldn't help. She sighed and put the folder on the entrance table and returned to analyzing the boy. Why would he bring this to her sister?

"Excuse-me? Who are you?", he asked, cautious.

"Nefera. I'm Cleo's sister."

"About that, I'd like to give her that.", he said, taking back the folder. "Could you call her downstairs or something?"

Jake's nervosity was getting higher and higher. He wasn't the anxious kind, despite what people thought. Most of the time, he didn't really care about anything, but here, as he was standing in front of such a beauty - a goddess, actually- he was just losing the little guts he had. She really was pretty. Her hair was damp and was leaving wet spots on her silk shirt, which was open. He felt weird and tried not to look at the girl's cleavage. Her nipples were pointing through her shirt and he prayed all the gods he knew for not letting her notice his growing erection. She, on the other hand, didn't look nervous, she felt confident enough to stare directly at his eyes when she talked to him.

"Cleo isn't home. She's with her boyfriend.", she said with a sigh.

Of course, she was. Why the fuck didn't he text Deuce first? He felt so dumb now, standing still without any idea of what he should tell Nefera.

"And I don't recommend you passing me the package you're delivering. I would never give her.", she said as he looked at her oddly.

Now that he recalled, he heard - more than he listened - Cleo telling Deuce about her evil sister. It was her who had tried to prevent the Fearleading team to win their last contest.

How could he blame her? He couldn't stand spending ten minutes near Cleo, she had had to live with her for her entire life, that must be a living hell!

"Leave it in the mailbox. She's waiting for a pair of shoes, she opens it every day.", said Nefera before leaving the entrance, and Jake with it.

She didn't go straight to the library but went on her sister's Freakbook page to see if there where any Jackson in her friends' list. There wasn't, but Deuce did have a Jackson Jekyll in his friends, and he looked like the same Jackson that was still standing in her entrance.

This is going to be fun.
