Winter

With the use of a huge black rock, I smash the once queen's long, golden armband. Breaking of a bit, I trade it to a dealer, who gives me enough gold to by milk for Karria, Isis' new baby girl.

It seems like such along time since I was 10 and Isis was 12, and Mama and Jakub murdered, Papa leaving use forever.

I sneak back threw an alley way, when all of a sudden, I see a boy, he's running threw the streets with most of the guards from the Pharaoh's castle running after him. I watch and see this boy, who may look at least 16-17 out run the guards. He runs by me, without thinking I pull him into the alley with me. The stupid guards run past us thinking this boy is ahead of them.

As soon as I take a good look at him, I relies that he is not some boy out running the guards to save his own skin, it is the Pharaoh's son! I never knew his named but I saw him many times as I snuck around stealing food behind there backs. He must have seen me too, because of the look he's giving me.

"Oh my Gosh," I gasp "Y-you're the Pharaoh! I'm so sorry!"

"No its alright. You saved me." He grinned.

"Why were you running from the guards?" I ask.

"Well I was running from the guards because I was trying to get away."

Ok here I'm totally lost.

"Why?"

"Do you even understand what being the son of the pharaoh is like? I couldn't stand it anymore so I tried to run away." He told me.

"What's your name?" I ask not knowing anything else to say.

"Yami. What's yours?"

"Winter." I say. "Its ok. I'm not going to turn you in. not after the thousands of times you found me stealing from your father and not told on me. I know a place to hide you. But you must not say you are Pharaoh alright?"

Yami nods.

I bring him back to threw the sewers and into our little annex. There are not as many people as before. So many are getting sick and dying so fast. "I must warn you first there are many sick people, mostly demon. Pretend you are a robber alright?"

"Alright" Yami replies.

I try to act as normal as I can before Malachi, one of Isis' friends comes up to me. She begins to question me about Yami.

'Bitch lay off my back!' I thought.

"this here is my friend, Yami" I tell her "He is a thief like us and has the whole army of the pharaohs guards on his back, so cut him some slack."

"But surely you can see he is no demon, Winter, what if he turns us in." Malachi insists.

"He won't." I say before walking past her, with Yami following me.

"Who was that?" Yami asks me.

"Malachi, my sister's friend, she hates me."
