Chapter Eight
"Cries of Pain"
As Anck-su-namun was being prepared for the nights events, Imhotep rushed off to tell Ashait of what had just happened. He found Ashait waiting outside Nefertiri's room, which was unusual as the two were usually together.
"Ashait," he called, panting slightly, "Something has just happened, I must speak to you." Imhotep started to pace around and Ashait grabbed his arm in order to stop him.
"What is the matter Imhotep? I saw you only half an hour ago, is it that girl?"
"Yes, I've found out who she is and even spoke to her. Why are you not inside with Nefertiri?"
Ashait grimaced, "Well, today I ran into Seti's newest concubine and I got a little paint on me."
*Newest concubine, newest concubine.Anck-su-namun.* Imhotep cut in, furious, "You touched her!!?!?" "No, no, no, we both weren't looking where we were going and we collided, calm down Im, anyway, Nefertiri saw me before I had time to wash off the paint and she was very angry with me. She's forbidden me to go near her. I tried to explain, but she wouldn't except my explanation."
This at least calmed him down and realised his friend had problems just as big as he did.
"So who is the mystery girl who robs your heart Im?"
Uncertain if he wanted to share his information, he decided to make something up. "Look, I realised I have an important affair to go to, I will tell you later," he called out as he started to walk away.
"But did you see her?"
"Yes"
And with that Imhotep left to go to his chambers and pray to Osiris. On the way to his chambers, one of his priests approached him.
"Lord Imhotep, Pharaoh Seti wishes you to accompany him in the presentation ceremony tonight. You must be at his side by seven."
"Thank you Horimun"
Imhotep sighted. He would be there to watch Anck-su-namun present herself to Seti and the royal court. He does not know if he will be able to watch her knowing that Seti will take away her innocence and lead her to womanhood. Imhotep had heard horrible rumours about the way the Pharaoh treated his concubines. He had heard that until he has broken their spirit, brutality beats and rapes them, until they respond to his command. He prayed for Anck-su-namun, hoping that she would not have to endure this torment.
***********************
Anck-su-namun was painted in intricate designs for the nights ceremony. The paint was drawn like a web of spirals and swirls, accentuating her hips and breasts. The only piece of clothing worn was a scant sash tied low around her hips. Anck-su-namun was adorned with gold jewels, which emphasized the golden glow of her skin.
For the presentation ceremony, Anck-su-namun was to dance solo in front of the Pharaoh and his royal court. Then after that she was to make her way to Seti's bedchamber where she would make her way into womanhood.
The evening had come and it was time for Anck-su-namun to make her way to the golden throne room, the same place in which Nefertiri's birthday celebration had taken place. Seti was situated upon his throne with Imhotep standing to his right and Nefertiri and Ashait to his left. Seti's concubines were seated on the set in front of the throne and the royal court and Medji were placed around the outside of the stage. Seti rose to make an announcement,
"Tonight, ladies, gentlemen and the Medji, you shall all be here to witness the arrival of my newest concubine, Anck-su-namun. She has been at the palace for a year now and tonight is her sixteenth year and is ready to enter womanhood. I present to you.Anck-su-namun!" the audience clapped, all waiting to see what performance was in-store for them.
The musicians started playing a slow, sultry and mysterious piece. Anck-su- namun entered and there were gasps and some applause from around the room. Most people recognised her from the banquet and remembered how she held the audience captive with her appearance and dancing. Anck-su-namun walked in a sensual fashion, moving her hips and arms to the slow beat. As she twisted and turned, she enchanted the audience and held them captivated once again. Seti was please of the affect his newest concubine had on the court and was glad that he would be envied of having this enchantment. He grinned smugly thinking of the events to take place in his bedchamber. Imhotep saw the way Seti looked at Anck-su-namun and despised him immediately. How dare he use her as an object of sex and not care for anything else. By looking at Anck- su-namun he knew that she needed love above all things, and he desperately wanted to give it to her.. If only he could..
As she was dancing, Anck-su-namun looked at Seti's face and saw the expression of lust and desire. It repulsed her and made her loathe him for eradicate her freedom. Her eyes then moved to Seti's right, where Imhotep stood. She briefly made eye-contact with him before looking down. Imhotep had worn an expression of empathy and compassion. She felt slight feelings for the High Priest evolve and it hurt her to know that she was now a possession of the Pharaoh, forbidden to love or to touch anyone but him, so she dismissed the feelings as quickly as they arose.
As her dance finished there was an incalculable amount of applause throughout the room. Anck-su-namun graciously bowed. Kiya came into the room to lead her off to get ready for the next part of the night. As Anck- su-namun was walking out of the room, she felt Imhotep's gaze on her. She looked up and met his eyes penetrating into hers. They held the gaze for a couple of seconds before she broke it and looked away. The only person who had acknowledged the look was Ashait, and he wondered if this was the mystery girl. If it was, Imhotep would be in more trouble with a relationship with the concubine than he would with Nefertiri. To protect his friend, he would have to make sure a relationship would never arise.
Kiya and Hebeny washed the paint off Anck-su-namun in her bath. They left her hair and body wet and placed a white silk robe over her. The robe clung to her body accentuating her slim figure. They allowed her to wear her pendant of Isis and the bracelet of the phoenix. New make-up was applied to her face and she was ready. Kiya and Hebeny were excited and bustling around Anck-su-namun, commenting how tonight would be a wondrous night and that she should be honoured to have this opportunity. Anck-su-namun felt the opposite. She was feeling miserable and deprived of life and just wanted to stay in her room for the rest of her life.
Two Medji came to the door and told them that they were to lead Anck-su- namun to the Pharaoh's chambers. Kiya and Hebeny hugged Anck-su-namun, wishing her luck. The two Medji did not even look at Anck-su-namun as they lead her down the corridors to Seti's chambers. Anck-su-namun was in awe. She had never been to this section of the palace and found it to be even more elaborate than her own. Seti's doors were made of thick gold and had hieroglyphs of himself and the Gods upon it. They slowly opened the doors and lead Anck-su- namun inside. In the room, there was a large four poster bed, with drapes of the finest linen hanging from the canopy. On the other side there was a large bath filled with lotus flower petals and expensive ointments. On the left there was large open door which led to a grand balcony, in which the Pharaoh himself was standing on. He slowly turned around and walked towards Anck-su-namun. While keeping his eyes on her, he told the Medji to leave the room.
Seti wore a light white linen kilt garnished with gold trim. He had gold cuffs on his wrists and a necklace with the Ankh. As he approached her, he looked her up and down, admiring her figure. As he came closer Anck-su- namun could smell a strong sickly smell of Myrrh and became repulsed with not only his personality, but with his scent too. Very slowly he peeled off her robe and let it fall to the ground. Anck-su-namun felt self-conscious and vulnerable in this position. Unsure of what to do, she just stood there in front of him, baring everything but her soul. Suddenly, Seti grabbed her into a rough embrace and thrust his tongue into her mouth. 'if this is what a kiss is, what is making love like?' Anck-su-namun thought, despising this new experience already. Seti untied his kilt and roughly pulled Anck-su- namun onto his bed. He threw her down and clambered on top of her. He had her pinned down smothered her mouth with his. Anck-su-namun felt panic rising as she lacked in air, but she was not ready for the pain which was to come. Seti opened her legs wide and mumbled "Anck-su-nyamun, you are mine, all mine," and thrust himself viciously into her. Anck-su-namun screamed in pain. As he came in and out the pain greatened and she felt her breathe becoming weaker and weaker as Seti was crushing her under is strong body.
The pain became intolerable and Anck-su-namun knew she had to do something in self defence. She dug her long nails into Seti's back and broke the skin. Seti jumped back in pain and became furious,
"You little whore! How dare you resist me," he shouted, "You little worthless WHORE!!" and with that he slapped her across the mouth and the cheek numerous times. Anck-su-namun kept a straight face, fighting with herself not to cry. She could not show Seti that he controlled her, she had to be strong. Acknowledging that he was having no affect on her, he lifted her up by the hair and threw her on the cold hard marble flaw and started kicking her and shouting at her. It became unbearable and Anck-su-namun began to scream, screaming for him to stop.
"You like that whore?! If you like breaking the skin on others do you like it on yourself? You want to know what it feels like hmm?!" Seti kept kicking her until she was motionless and silent on the floor. He stopped for a second to see how she was. She opened her eyes and gave him a stare that could cut through ice. Seeing this enraged him even more and he picked her up and threw her out onto the balcony.
"This girl has spirit, and I love it. I will break her down and make her respect and respond to me. She will be my greatest conquest." And with that Seti walked out onto the balcony to collect the defenceless figure.
***
Imhotep decided to go for a night-time walk to clear his head, though all he could think about was Anck-su-namun. How he desired to have her in his arms, to hold her for ever and ever. He had fallen under her enchanting spell and could not shake it away. He looked up to the sky and shouted out, "Great God Osiris, why do you punish me so? Please help me control my feelings, I can not take it any further!" Osiris did not answer him as Osiris felt betrayed by his High Priest. It was when he was by the lotus pond that he heard cries of agony and a fury of shouting. 'Anck-su-namun' he thought and ran towards the voices. As he came closer he could hear her begging, pleading Seti to stop. Then suddenly above him on the balcony, he heard the scraping of metal sliding along the floor and collide with the wall. He looked up and saw his beloved drooping over the side through the banister. He saw that her face and body were all black and bloodied from the abuse the Pharaoh had endured her. He felt hatred and anger for his Pharaoh, and could not believe a human could treat such a beautiful being in the way he had done. Now sobbing, Anck-su-namun looked out, and wished that there had been no wall to stop her from falling. In front of her was her pendant of Isis, torn from her neck. She picked it up and held it in her hand and prayed that Isis would help her. As she glanced down she was surprised with the sight. Imhotep was standing below looking up at her. The sight of him gave her hope and with a voice no more than a whisper she called his name. Unable to hear each other, they both gave vows of love.
Anck-su-namun suddenly heard Seti approaching her, and she quickly dropped her pendant of Isis down to Imhotep, who caught it in his hands. He looked up again and saw that Seti was dragging Anck-su-namun back into his chamber. 'I WILL help her' thought Imhotep, as he knew after this torment, Anck-su- namun would be both psychologically and physically damaged.
As Seti dragged her back onto the bed, Anck-su-namun felt herself slip in and out of consciousness. As Seti began to smother her again, she finally blacked out, leaving herself utterly vulnerable to the likes of Seti. While she was unconscious, Seti raped her over and over until he tired of her, and then threw her out the door.
Anck-su-namun woke slightly and tried to crawl her way back to her room, but failed and collapsed in the corridor. Imhotep, who was walking to his chambers saw her body on the ground and ran over to help her. She was bleeding in many places, and to his dismay he saw the trail of blood between her thighs. 'that bastard' he fumed 'that bastard!' he knew he must help Anck-su-namun, so he checked to see no one was around before picking her up and carrying her to her quarters.
