~Meskenet's P.O.V.~
"no..... get away from me!!!"
"what kind of a greeting is that for your dear auntie Saline?" an older woman with very light blond hair said.
Her hair was such a light blond that you could hardly tell what was blond, and what was white, her face looked as if it had been carved out of wood, smooth with scars that ran across her lips, and another scar ran across the top of her eye brow.
Carved wood, it fit her personality as well, soft looking, but when you rub it, you may get slivers.
"it's the kind you get when your not wanted........... now go" I barked back at her.
"well...... I expected your parents to raise you better than this....... I saved your life, and this is the thanks I get?" she retorted.
"I know what you did, and if you think that just by saving my life, you'll be forgiven for, for all of the things you have done, a life for a life? I may know what you did, but I'm puzzled as to why you are here?"
"I am here to help you, but you tell me what I did, I have no memory of doing any wrong, and a life for a life? What is that garbage that your parents have fed you all these long years?"
"oh bull shit! Don't think you can fool me of all people with your innocent act, you know what you did........ and let me tell you this! You deserved what you got"
"I still have no idea as to what incident you are inquiring to, but I would never forget what your village did to me that day" her voice grew fearful, and full of hate.
"they drove me out, deep into the depths of the desert, they called me traitor, and even murderer and I want for days just walking, trying to get somewhere, I walked and walked, hungry an thirsty, days when by, and soon those days became weeks, I found myself scavenging for food. And one day, I just collapsed, right there, in the middle of no where, waiting for death to take me, or for something to happen, I slipped into unconsciousness, and seemed to just sleep, for what seemed like an eternity. I thought, what did I do to deserve this, when all I did was try to save a child"
"you mean stole, I may have been young, but I remember your desire for a child, but when you didn't get one you got mad, and stole a child. You carried it off into the desert, but ran back when you found out it was dead....... You killed the child...... you were not ment to have children for a reason Saline" I said coldly, making her wince in pain at the memory.
"I saved the child, it almost died, and when I heard it's cry I ran out and found it pleading for some one to come, pleading for his life. Fear like that would do it to even the strongest of people, being chassed be a sand demon. I never ment to kill him Mesk. It was an accident, I picked it up and just carried it wrong" she was obviously hurt by the memory.
"but I have come to be the mother you lost so long ago. And I hope to make amends through you..... since you are the last one left. I am truly sorry for you loss, and all the pain I have caused you and your family. I know you will say no now, so I will return to you for your answer in two months. But here is some meat as a parting gift" she said almost emotionless.
She then turned around, and disappeared into the night, those blood red eyes following her into the shadows again.
' who was that?' Larka asked.
'no one important' I replied coldly, only wanting to be alone.
'please tell me'
'she is my Aunt Saline.......... Unfortunately. She stole a child once from my village and my parents drove her out.. she killed the child................ My brother' I said, remembering my own raven haired little brother looking up to me, with all the happiness in the world, glittering in his deep green eyes, asking me to come and play with him.
A single tear trickled down my check.
'after that my parents just seemed to fade away, that and a few faces and names are all I have left to remember from my past.......... But I do remember falling asleep by my brothers grave, crying............I ........... wish I could remember what happened.......'
' you are hiding something from me, you know you can trust me, I can't tell any one, and you must remember that I am your eyes, you have to trust me or you can never conquer all that is evil'
' I guess.....'
'no guessing, you must know'
'hen I fell asleep, I didn't wake up for 5000 years, when I woke up the door was wrenched shut,............. and ..................... my brother was gone.......... I was so ....... No still am angry. And I swear on my life that I will find the person or people who violated my brothers grave..... and they will see what happens to people who mess with my family, and they will see what a big mistake they made' I said with pure anger, scaring Larka with the tone of my voice.
Many minutes went by, and I thought of what happened, I slowly drifted into sleep, not realizing it.... Still thinking of my brother..........
~back~
~normal P.O.V.~
A small boy with long, waist length raven hair ran through the sands of Ancient Egypt, running for life itself........... from some one............. Or something.................
Consumed by shadows, the beast snarled, drool dripping from its yellowing fangs. It stood like a man, eight feet tall, with shinning claws of brilliant white, covered in fur, with a longish snout, like a dogs, it had longer curled fur, from it's head down to the end of its long neck, like a horses main. Ears poked up on top of it's head, with large horns, curling around them, like a rams, and a tail wagging back and forth like a lions tail, as sleek as a whip.
But it's most terrifying quality was it's eyes, bright, piecing yellow, full of hunger and hate, the seemed to look right through you.
The boy running, tripped and fell, the demon looked at the boy, as if searching for any sign of fear in him.
The boy cried out for help when he backed up into a sand dune, for some one........... any one.
But some one did hear him, and some one did come, she ran and ran with all of her might, and with her luck it didn't take long, and she was soon in between the boy and the demon.
"get back demon! You are not welcome here, you and I both know what power I have, yes that's the one, now go before I use it." She threatened coldly........ or as coldly as her voice would go.
Once again the beasts eyes were searching... but not for fear, but hope, that this woman, this mortal was lying... it searched for a while, and seeing no hope, it backed away into the darkness.
The woman turned and picked up the child, walking off, which soon turned into a run when she saw the beast readying for a lung....... She ran and ran until she finally got past the city border, when she lay down the child.
She said "don't worry, we're home now, we're safe, he wont hurt you any more"
But when she didn't get a response she felt for a pulse.............. nothing.... The boys neck had broken from the position the woman had carried him in.
The woman could hear the demons laughter from the shadows.
She screamed in anger, sadness, and frustration.
All of the villagers came out to see why she had cried, but gasped when they saw the body of the child.
Out of sadness, and confusion they all blamed it on her, crying women now called her a murderer, and traitor, and child slayer.
They all left the woman to her grief.
But no one knew that a second set of eyes had seen the whole thing, hiding in the shadows, from confusion, wondering what to do.
