Amarante Flowers That Never Fade
Chapter 2: Lilith Of the Night
That night during dinner Kira sat next to Ishizu, across from me.
Father explained to Kira what my everyday activities were, such as studying and other boring things that were to be finished by the end of each day.
The poor girl looked as if she was about to die from boredom but she nodded her head to show that she understood.
Odion came out with some other servants and set the food down on the table. A fresh bottle of red wine was put on the table, my father's favorite drink with dinner.
While father drank his wine, Ishizu, Kira and I enjoyed our fresh Nile water; I find it better than the alcohol.
I watched Kira slowly pick at her food, not really eating it, more like rolling it around the clay plate.
Father didn't seem to care that she wasn't eating so I guess I shouldn't either.
When dinner was finished, Ishizu and Kira helped Odion clear the table, while my father walked me down to the study, where he would have me look up data from Ancient times. I would be in there for hours studying the hieroglyphics on the walls.
It seemed as if hours had past before I heard a gentle knock on the door. I turned to see Kira sanding in the doorway.
Her jade eyes were casted to the floor, her hair hanging slightly in her face. A small, petit, fake smile was plastered on her face. I wanted to rip it off, and turn it into a real smile.
"Kira." I call out her name, softly as not to startle her.
"Marik-sama, you've been in here for two hours. Your father has asked me to tell you to take a break and walk around for a while." She stated never lifting her eyes.
"Oh alright. Would you like to accompany me?" I asked her.
"Yes, Marik-sama. That would be nice." She smiled, a real smile this time.
The walk was mostly silent the whole time. Every now and then I'd ask her a question like what her favorite color was, and she reply ending with Marik-sama. It was driving me nuts, I wanted to ring her neck and tell her to stop calling me that.
I stopped at her room to drop her off. We said our goodnights before I headed back to the study to put my books away, before heading to my room.
It was getting late and my lamp oil was running low so I blew the fire out and crawled into bed.
About twenty minutes past and I could hear light footsteps in the hallway. I sat up and faced my open door. A light flickered on the walls in the hallway, like from a candle, much like my oil lamp.
I stood up and walked into the hallway and looked to see Kira looking at one of the walls with hieroglyphics on it.
"Kira?" I called out, making the girl jump and drop her candle. The hallway grew dark, extremely dark.
"Marik-sama?" Her voice called out in the darkness.
I placed my hand on the clammy wall, walking forwards her voice. My footsteps were echoing in the narrow passage way.
"Marik-sama?" She called out again.
"Kira, calm down." I stated finally finding the girl. "What were you doing here anyway?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep, Marik-sama." She stated, as I could feel my teeth grit together.
"Well let's get you back into your room, but first we need some light." I stated bending down, looking for the candle she dropped. Finding it, I picked it up and grabbed her hand pulling her to my room. I found a match on my table near the bed and lit her candle. Handing it back to her.
We made our way down the narrow passage, past my father's room to hers. Walking inside with her I took the candle and placed it on a stand.
She walked over to her bed, taking a seat on it. "Marik-sama, I'm scared." She stated, her voice not higher than a whisper.
I turned to face her, walking over to her bed, I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm sure all will happen for the better." I stated, not really knowing what the hell I was talking about, but she smiled nonetheless. So I guess the simple saying made her feel better.
"Thank you, Marik-sama." She gave me a hug, which I returned back.
"Time for you to go to bed." I stated pulling back.
She went under the covers as I walked from her room, I stopped at the doorway.
"Night, Kira." I whispered.
"Night, Marik-sama." She whispered back, and I could almost hear the smile coming her face.
I made my way down to my room, were already becoming good friends, maybe tomorrow we can play some games. I smiled at the thought. Of course I have to get her to agree. Tomorrow should be a better day.
