Note to Reader :
Geez it's been a long time. This is a very short... I mean SHORT
chapter. My apologies. I'm so swamped! Work, new carpet for the house
(Which is a major pain!), my sister's new house (Which needs to be painted...
Everywhere!) sigh... been a long week. The story turned out to be longer
then I expected. I've written chapter seven... tho I haven't written chapter
6... oops. Well, this picks up immediatly where chapter four left off and
hopefully in a few days I'll have chapter 6 up. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks for the reviews, I haven't gotten many lately which is kind of
depressing but one review really blew me away... wow. Thanks, that was probably
the greatest compliment on my writing that I have ever recieved... I really
really appreciate that and I dedicate this chapter to you... pity it really isn't
the best one. Well enjoy!
The dry air of the deep desert and it's earthly smell seemed to vanish from Evi's
senses as her eyes stared into the open nothing of the evening sky yet pictures and visions
overtook her mind.
-=-
The deep intoxicating smell of incense flooded into her nostrils as elaborate colors
danced before her eyes. Soft giggles filled the air, as feet padded through the ornate halls
of the Egyptian Palace.
"Wait! Neferkare!" A soft Egyptian voice called as she chased after the five year
old that ran down the hall toward the ornate throne room of great King Seti I. Bright
brown eyes turned, laughter lighting them up as they stared at the small form of her older
sister that chased after her. Neferkare turned and burst through the large heavy doors of
her father's throne room. Suddenly a deeply tanned hand reached down, grasping the child
around the waist, her straight locks of onyx hair flew in her face as her breath hitched in
her throat. Nefertiti ran into the throne room, her brown eyes searching it's contents. Her
once expression of playful annoyance toward her sister suddenly left her features as joy
etched it's way on her face. She raced towards a tall man who had stood from his throne.
She raced to his arms but he stepped past her. She blinked and then followed after him,
hanging near his legs as he walked sternly toward the door.
"Papa!" Neferkare called out as she reached out with her arms toward the deeply
tanned man, his face chiseled in annoyance.
"Take her away!" He bellowed in deep Egyptian. A complete look of rejection
flashed across Neferkare's face. The Med-Jai who held her tightly in his arms turned to
obey his Pharaoh. Nefertiti grasped onto her Father's hand and stared confused as the
Med-Jai took her little sister away from the room. Tears sprang to Neferkare's eyes and
she hid her face in the Med-Jai's robe, willing herself not to cry.
The thick doors to the throne room pounded shut. Nefertiti gasped and jumped
near her father. Suddenly Seti I glanced down at her. He bent down and kneeled next to
her, coming to exact eye level with the priceless child that stood before him with complete
confusion and fear in her eyes.
"Nefertiti..." He said gently and she stared at him, her large brown eyes glittering
from the sunlight flooding into the room. "I don't want you to play with Neferkare in such
a way as she is your equal... She is not. She is the reason why you do not have a mother!"
The Pharaoh bit out cruelly and a gasp escaped from Nefertiti's lips, tears filling her eyes.
"Yes, Nefertiti... The gods took away your mother because of Neferkare's birth..." He said
and he stood, his form becoming rigid.
"She killed Mommy?" Nefertiti asked in an unsteady voice and Seti I looked down
at her with hard eyes and nodded.
"Yes, Nefertiti... Neferkare is the cause of your mother's death."
Suddenly wind swept past her as memories and places moved like a whirlwind
around her. Dizziness flooded into her mind until it finally stopped, resting on two forms
who stood across from each other.
"Why do you hate me?" Neferkare cried sadly, the small thirteen year old staring at
her fourteen year old sister. They were dressed very differently. The Princess Nefertiti was
drenched in gold and jewels as Neferkare was wrapped in simple silks of bland colors.
Neferkare was as tall as Nefertiti and was much stronger. It scared the Pharaoh about how
his second daughter was slowly over powering Nefertiti. It was because of that fact that he
had doubled Nefertiti's lessons and made her train constantly... he would not let his
daughter be defeated by a daughter he wished he had never had.
"You killed our mother." Nefertiti said quietly, her eyes were a little soft and filled
with grief. Neferkare suddenly cried out, her hands rushing to her head. So many years of
screaming and yelling those words into her mind... she almost could not take it anymore
"No!" She cried out as if was painful for her to think that. Nefertiti blinked and
backed up. Suddenly Neferkare dived forward attacking Nefertiti. Nefertiti's form hit the
ground hard and Neferkare began to pound on her, screaming at her.
"Med-Jai!" Nefertiti screamed painfully as another blow interacted with her
shoulder. Men rushed into the room and a young man grabbed at Neferkare pulling her
into his arms and gripping onto her as she kicked and screamed. Another man rushed to
Nefertiti's side to examine her injuries. His eyes became ablaze noticing the fresh bruises as
they began to appear. He pointed a finger angrily at Neferkare.
"Take her away!" He screamed hatefully and he gently slipped his arms under his
Princess, lifting her to take her to a healer. As she was being dragged away the horrid scene
finally came to light and a horrified gasp escaped Neferkare's lips.
"Nefertiti! I'm sorry!" Neferkare screamed as she was being dragged away.
Nefertiti sucked in a deep breath as she stared at her sister with horror. Her personal guard
sat her up and she tentivly reached to touch her bleeding lip. When she saw the blood she
looked back up at her sister and her eyes hardened and she looked away, her beautiful
onyx hair making a show of her movement... of rejection.
Another whirlwind swept past her and she sucked in a deep breath, her eyes closing
as her fingers gripped onto the wooden side of the dirigible.
A screech was heard as flesh interacted roughly against the ornate floors of the
palace. Neferkare looked up, her skin burning and her arms and legs sore. She stared at the
hard face of her cruel teacher. Suddenly a dark tanned hand thrust down to help the fallen
Princess to her feet. Nefertiti narrowed her eyes as she watched her father's mistress
helped her sister to her feet after tossing her aside like a ragdoll with an illegal move.
Anak-su-namun grinned, her dark eyes staring at the young Princess of seventeen. Her
gold lips twitched with amusement and she spun her tridents in her hands. She glanced
casually to the form of Nefertiti who watched with a hardened look. Her pale fingers held
loosely her tridents at her side and Anak-su-namun let out an amused laugh.
"Now there is a real challenge..." The women bit off cruelly in a heavily accented
Egyptian. Neferkare shot a look to the other side of the training room and her eyes burned.
Nefertiti. A rage filled Neferkare as she looked away from her sister. She rose to her feet
quickly, her onyx hair falling perfectly around her shaped face... she was just as beautiful
as her sister... just as strong... yet everyone, including father's bastard mistress treated her
as if she was nothing compared to the real gem... Nefertiti. Her fingers gripped at the
tridents in her fingers and she lunged forward, letting out a growl as her warning.
Anak-su-namun looked casually towards Neferkare as she charged. Nefertiti blinked and
took a step forward, her eyes immediately going to Anak-su-namun's hands. She watched
with a little bit of horror as the dark tanned women positioned her trident in such a way
that when the first blow from Neferkare came that the unusual sharpened tip of the trident
would slam right through her skin and pierce her through the heart. A wicked grin spread
across Anak-su-namun's lips as she contemplated her perfect plan. She could easily slay
the unwanted seed and play it off as her loyalty to her Pharaoh. She wanted to laugh at that
thought, the bastard of a man whom she loathed was her only ticket to real power... with
her pet Imotept. A shiver ran across her skin at the memory of her lover and her smirk
widened, her hand gripping for the trident which she had before purposely sharpened to a
piercing point. Nefertiti moved quickly across the room and slammed into Neferkare's
body sending her flying to the left. Nefertiti used her left trident to punch at
Anak-su-namun's piercing one and the metal trident went flying. Nefertiti lifted her leg and
kicked Anak-su-namun in the abdomen, sending the women flying to the ornate floor.
Neferkare gasped as she interacted with the floor and she looked startled toward
her sister and her teacher which now lay on the floor as well.
"That was an illegal move Nefertiti!" Anak-su-namun snapped cruelly, her eyes
ablaze with rage at having her plan foiled. Nefertiti took in a deep breath and stared with
cold eyes at Anak-su-namun who lay near her feet.
"Nothing more then what you have been doing. Leave my sight!" Nefertiti snapped
and Anak-su-namun's eyes narrowed. Quietly she stood and stared ominously over the
Princess then turned, her body making it's seductive way out of the room. She would have
her revenge on the prized princess soon enough... Uncontrolled rage filled Nefertiti's body
and she turned to stare cruelly at her sister who looked up with her with confinement and
anger. Neferkare's body stiffened and she reached for her trident but her fingers let go of
it. She was too weak to take on her sister.
"I did not need your help!" She spat cruelly from the floor and Nefertiti held her
weapons on Neferkare, making her back up slightly.
"You fool! If you knew anything about fighting you would have seen the inferior
mistake you had made... Never underestimate your opponent. Especially her... she would
kill you in an instant as would many in this kingdom..." Nefertiti spat, her voice coming out
low.
"Like you?" Neferkare spat, her defiance remarkable as it screamed from every
muscle in her body. Nefertiti stared at her then she pulled her tridents away and stood over
her younger sister with a small sneer.
"You might be a killer Neferkare... but I am not." She said quietly then made her
way from the room, her training session was canceled. Neferkare turned red and she
sucked in a haggard breath, wanting more then anything to release her rage and hatred and
prove her dear sister right.
"This is not over Nefertiti!" She screamed and Nefertiti casually glanced over her
shoulder toward the fuming frame of her younger sister who still sat on the floor. Nefertiti
then exited the room and walked to her own chambers... leaving her sister to plot whatever
her mind would dream of.
Evi blinked and kept staring into the sky... none of this was making sense. Another wind
rushed past her as more images flew into her mind and she suddenly gasped.
"Med-Jai! Quickly! My father needs you!" A frantic voice in Egyptian screamed as
she pointed to the chambers of the High Priest Imothep. Suddenly she gasped as she saw
shadows stabbing at her father's form. She cried out, screaming a no as her form toppled
forward over the banister.
A hand grabbed at her waist and pulled her back onto the balcony. A gasp escaped
Nefertiti's lips as she was throne to the hard floor of the balcony. She looked up at her
rescuer and she breathed out a breath.
"Neferkare..." She said and jumped to her feet. She rushed past Neferkare to see
what was happening across the suite when she suddenly felt a hard pricking pain enter into
her back. Neferkare clamped her hand over Nefertiti's mouth, Nefertiti's great scream of
pain being muffled.
"It's my turn to be loved now..." Neferkare spat into her ear. Nefertiti's eyes
flashed and she stared at Neferkare, her body was slowly slinking downwards. The pain
was overwhelming as it surged through every part in her body. "You have stolen a life that
should have been mine... I should have been born first... I should have been loved..."
Neferkare cried, her eyes red and brimming with tears.
"You should have never been born... you cost Egypt it's jewel... may the gods
curse you forever... and may I haunt you for the rest of eternity!" Nefertiti breathed out
and Neferkare cried out and then shoved the knife deeper into Nefertiti's back. Nefertiti
groaned in pain and her body slumped to the floor, her eyes closing and her mind being
enveloped in complete darkness...
-=-
Evi gasped, her eyes popping open suddenly shocked. Her fingers gripped onto the
edge of the dirigible and her heart beat so fast she was afraid it would jump out of her
chest. She sucked in large gulping breaths of the desert air as she tried to calm her
trembling skin and rapid heart. Fingers brushed across her shoulder.
"Evi old mum?" Jonathan suddenly asked. Evi gasped shocked and spun around
quickly, her foot tripping on a coiled rope and sent her sprawling over the side of the
dirigible. "Evi!" Jonathan screamed as did Rick as he dived toward them. He was almost
over the side of the dirigible when Jonathan grabbed him. Rick stared down disbelieving, a
horrifying fear gripping at his chest.
"Evi!" He screamed, his eyes scanning the desert, seeing absolutely nothing... Evi
was gone. He was about to go into hysterics when a hysteric voice answered.
"Rick!" She cried out unnerved and her body swung from underneath the dirigible.
Her black boot was caught in the rigging that was hanging under the contraption. Rick
gasped and a sudden relief flushed through him... then horror as he saw her slip a little.
Her head fell back and she stared shakily at the numerous dunes of sands that lay a
hundred or so feet beneath her. "Rick..." She said quietly as she gulped. A hand suddenly
grasped her foot and she turned to see her husband, his eyes alive with worry and fear. She
pulled with all her might her body to a sitting position and she grasped onto his hand
tightly. From then he pulled her easily back onto the dirigible. He quickly unhooked her
foot from the rigging and then yanked her into his arms, clutching onto her.
"I wish you would stop doing that..." He breathed into her hair, just comforted by
the feel of her body pressed up against his. Jonathan let out an uneasy breath as he
scratched his head and a shiver ran up his spine. His sister was a walking target for death
she was...
"De Ja Vu..." She said quietly into his ear as she clutched onto him, her fingers
gripping onto the cloth of his clothes. Rick pulled back gently and stared at her, his hand
gently caressing her cheek.
"What happened?" Ardeth Bay asked staring at her. When she turned to look at
him, his eyes captured her's and she knew he was not asking about how she had fallen but
what she had seen that had made her so jumpy. (excuse the pun.)
"I saw her... Neferkare... her birth... it killed my mother... then I saw... saw her...
kill me..." Evi said shakily and she looked down, so shocked that she had seen it so vividly.
She had almost felt the pain... she could almost taste her own blood in her mouth...
Rick gripped onto her and her head fell into the crook of his neck. Rick's gaze found
Ardeth's and he stared horrified. Ardeth stiffened and Nick stared at the three men who
hung near Evi. What had he done by bringing these people into his cursed fate? His eyes
fell on the sleeping form of his daughter... she hadn't said a single word yet. A deep grief
fell upon him and he leaned forward, his head falling in his hands... Everything was his
fault... Everything.
Evi gripped onto her husband involuntarily. Her eyes were alive and they stared
with horror across the desert... she didn't dare tell Rick about how she had seen herself...
so weak that she could not even defend herself against a thirteen year old... it wouldn't give
Rick much confidence and would possible make him turn the entire ship around...
Truthfully it didn't give her much confidence... things weren't making any sense... yet new
feelings began to stir within her... of hatred and betrayal...
----------------------------
It wasn't that short... but a lot shorter then what I'm use to.
I'm still kinda confused on what to do next but don't worry... i'll work it out.
Tell others about this story... I would love some more opinions. They are like water
in a very very hot desert..you need them to keep the story afloat. Or something like that.
Well! I hope you enjoyed this tiny installment... I think Imothept or whatever is spelled
way wrong... my apologies. hehe... tell me what you think! A true writer always wants to
know when they suck...
Mouse!

fell upon him and he leaned forward, his head falling in his hands... Everything was his
fault... Everything.
Evi gripped onto her husband involuntarily. Her eyes were alive and they stared
with horror across the desert... she didn't dare tell Rick about how she had seen herself...
so weak that she could not even defend herself against a thirteen year old... it wouldn't give
Rick much confidence and would possible make him turn the entire ship around...
Truthfully it didn't give her much confidence... things weren't making any sense... yet new
feelings began to stir within her... of hatred and betrayal...
----------------------------
It wasn't that short... but a lot shorter then what I'm use to.
I'm still kinda confused on what to do next but don't worry... i'll work it out.
Tell others about this story... I would love some more opinions. They are like water
in a very very hot desert..you need them to keep the story afloat. Or something like that.
Well! I hope you enjoyed this tiny installment... I think Imothept or whatever is spelled
way wrong... my apologies. hehe... tell me what you think! A true writer always wants to
know when they suck...
Mouse!
