The Pharaoh's Gift
"grrgfg.." what was that? "grh-attack?" her eyes stayed closed, she felt too tired to try open them. The voices continued "Yeah, some dart was aimed right at His Highness!" "No way, what happened?" "-she- saved his life.." "whoa..."
She made a faint groaning noise, trying to talk, but her head hurt too much. She heard the two people, both men, stop talking. "Right, shes waking up....someone go get the healer." Her eyes opened slowly, she felt heavy. She heard voices, and hurrying feet, catching a brief glimpse of a high ceiling...but then she slipped into a doze again.
-------
Yami stood by one of the windows, dark violet eyes staring, unseeing, over the vast land he ruled. But his mind was still on the attack, and that girl. She had appared out of nowhere and had somehow managed to beat a swift dart to him. He sighed, and pushed away from the window, his long scarlet cloak flowing behind him as he began to walk.
Ten minutes later he finally took a look around where he was. It was a quiet, relatively empty hall, with dorrs leading off every which way, soem open...Casting a glance around he saw it was the hospital area. He was about to walk on when he rememebred -that- girl. He made towards the area where the beds were...
-------
The nurse sighed as she looked at her patient, nobody knew what was in that dart, but she seemed to be recovering, waking up at random times and babbling about the attack. She closed her eyes, and almost jumped out of her skin the next second as a voice behind her asked "Is she well?"
She whipped round "A-ah!" she blinked in ashtonishment at who it was, "aah, y-yes Your Highness" she bowed to the ruler, a little surprised. Why was he down here, the ruler rarely strayed beyond the main area. She looked up again as she stood from her bow, seeing him ackowledge her response with a brief nod "I see."
The Nurse, whos name was Sera, sighed "well, shes doing well, but she cant stand up, and keeps babbling sir," she bowed again "about whatever happened..." He nodded, sighing slightly, "hm.."
Both turned round and stared as a voice said "whaa? whossat?"
Yami stood a little clsoer to the bed, peering baffledly down at its occupant.
Slowly she began to wake...
------
-Owch- that was the first thing Reonet thought. Upon slowly drifting awake she had heard voices, one was the nurse, she meant to ask who was there, but it came out a little wrong. Now, as she opened her eyes, she thought the men had returned to kill her for seeing the attack.
She was confronted by a pair of dark violet, slightly confused, eyes, with somewhat familiar gold bangs hanging down into them. "eh?! who're you?" she tried to place who it was..but her tired mind couldnt remember.
"I Am the Pharaoh, from the gardens.." her eyes widnened as her vision cleared, enabling her to get a full look at the person. It -was- him. The Pharaoh whose life she'd gotten hit trying to save. He was standing by her bed, staring right down at her. She gave a squeak, forcing herself up. Her vision jumbled a little, the nurse moved to her side "careful girl..."
The Pharaoh blinked, seeing she was still all scrambled by that dart -what the HELL was in that thing?- he wondered..Reonet blinked, going bright red at the fact the guy was right there, and all she'd done was practically knock him over, god she felt like an idiot.
"Might I ask what your name is?" The Ruler asked softly, for he never needed to raise his voice, there were few who would not stop and listen to him. She gave a nervous gulp, unable to meet his gaze, feeling too unimportant to do so. "R-reonet-" she stammered at last, adding "-Your Highness" as she realised just who she was speaking to.
She stared at her hands, her face red from knowing he would probably think she was a mere fool. But she got a surprise the next second, when he spoke again, though she dared not look up.. "Nurse," Sera looked round "Please ensure she is well taken care of.." the footsteps came closer, and the next second something was placed around her neck.
The ruler stepped back "I shall expect to see her as soon as she is well, goodbye.." the nurse bowed, and Reonet looked down. Around her neck was an amulet, shaped like a scarab, with its wings fodled close to its jewelled body. "wow.."
Sera looked at her with undisgusied envy "Coutn yourself very privaliged Reonet, the Pharaoh has given one of those to few people...its very special.." Reonet nodded numbly, her face red, barely able to beleive it. She clutched the amulet in one hand as she curled up asleep again..-he g-gave this...for me...- she smiled in her sleep...
-------
Later, as night fell, yami sat up bed, feeling a horrible chill pass right through him. -Somethings wrong..- he scrambled from the bed, moving silently along the corridor, opening one of the doors he stepped outside. Nothing. A slight frown appeared on his face, had he imagined it?
As the Pharaoh stood puzzling this over, something flowed from the shadows, moving away into the night -soon, we will be rid of you..and our reign of blood, shall beguin..-
Up in the hospital, Reonet too, was awake. She stared into the darkness of the ward, the same question on hers and Yami's minds: Who, or -What- was there?
