I Would Rather be Ashes than Dust

Her deep ruby eyes overlooked her precious city. Her long, silky black hair danced freely in the wind. A tear feel from her eye and landed on her tan dress. "Why father, Why?" she cried.

"Ruby, what have I told you about looking out over the city!" yelled Sai as she stormed into the room. "You have to get ready to meet your future husband!"

"I wish not to," said Ruby "Why must my father choose who I must love."

"Because he's the Pharaoh! He wouldn't approve of just anyone. Now come, come child, you must meet him!"

Ruby followed Sai into the main hall, where she laid eyes on what she thought was her future husband. "Beautiful" she gasped glancing at the tall man with brown hair.

"My daughter, Ruby!" said the Pharaoh triumphantly. To Ruby's shock, the man who she thought would be her husband stepped aside. Behind him stood a man with blonde and the cheesiest smile.

"Meet your future husband, Roman!" said the Pharaoh to his daughter. Ruby stood in shock.

"The most beautiful flower in all of Egypt" said Roman as he bent down and kissed Ruby's hand. Every one left, but Roman and Ruby.

They stared deep into each others eyes, Ruby with hate and Roman with love. "You know Ruby, after your father dies, Egypt shall be mine.....I mean ours!"

"I don't like you!"

"I love you."

"Leave, now, I do not wish to marry you or anyone else." Demanded Ruby as she turned her back on Roman.

"Things will get better soon. You'll have to love me sooner or later" ended Roman as he left.

*******night time in Ruby's room************

"Roman is a very handsome man. You are a very lucky girl" said Sai.

"Not that lucky. Hey Sai, who was that tall man with brown hair?"

"That would be the High Priest. He said he would marry you and Roman in 3 days!"

Sai blew out the candle and left the room as Ruby lay in her bed thinking about the days events.

******(Ruby's point of view for the rest of the fic till further notice)********

I decided last night that I would go and visit the High Priest to try to talk him out of marrying me and Roman. I told Sai my plan, she said I was allowed, but a guard had to follow me.

I told the guard to take me to the temple. When we got there I rushed inside to find the High Priest kneeling and praying to a statue.

My heart rose to my throat then sank back down to my stomach as he turned around and we looked each other in the eye. I never felt this way before.
