Forbidden.
I have come unto thee. I have drawn night to see thy beauties. My hands are raise in the adoration of thy name of Maat. I have drawn unto the place where the cedar tree existeth not, where the acacia tree doth not put forth shoots, and where the ground produces neither grass nor herbs. Now I have entered into the hidden place, and I speak with Set. My protector came to me, his face was masked, and he looked on the hidden things.
Thoth, the judge of right and truth of Great Company of the Gods who are in the presence of Osiris, saith; hear yea this judgment.
Live life, not shalt thou die.
Book of the Dead.
Epilogue;
Pulling against the bonds that bound her wrists and ankles she cried out with pain. Biting her lip to keep silent she once more tried to free herself. With another jerk she felt the warmth of blood flow down her arm. The crude metal cuffs had bitten deep into her wrist causing them to bleed profusely.
Great, another thing to worry about.
She frantically looked up at the sound of a leather boot scuffing dusty stone. There stood her tormentor. Cruel eyes and a hard mouth made him look all the more evil. Long, lank brown hair fell to his shoulders in strands. He stood before her with a malicious twist of his mouth that he must have taken as a smirk, but only succeeded in amusing her. The glint of metal caught her eye, revealing that there were more people in the room. Guards! It's time.
Noticing her eyes widen her nemesis reached forward and grabbed her face. Holding it agonizingly hard he forced her to look him in the eyes. They were colourless pits of hell. There was also the mad glint of a fanatic there, making it all the more harder for her to look at him and resist spitting at his repulsive face.
"Finally. I have you exactly where I want you. I knew that what the Pharaoh was doing would only lead him to shame. And as for you, you disgrace yourself and the Pharaoh to no end. At least I will have the pleasure of ending your pitiful life."
"You fool, the Pharaoh will end your life for this treason."
"How could he, my dark haired beauty? When it was he himself that ordered your fate."
"No! You lie! He wouldn't. He couldn't…"
"I see the fight go out of your eyes. Do you really believe that he would have saved you? Huh, wishful thinking and gullibility on your part. It was unwise of him to lead you on but at least now we can put an end to his problems."
She glared with hatred at the Pharaoh's most 'trusted' adviser but what he had said took the fierceness from her gaze before long. Wearily she sank back and let the bonds hold her up.
I thought he cared…
She looked back up, showing her defeat unwillingly in her emerald green eyes. The Pharaoh's royal adviser's smile was triumphant and he motioned for one of the guards to release her from her bonds. Without the restraints she fell to the cold floor. With a stifled grunt she allowed the guard to pull her up by her unbound hair.
He forcefully pulled her from the dank cell into a more spacious room but no less dark or menacing.
"This is where your fate lies, seductress. Here you will die and no one will be the wiser." With an ominous chuckle he once again motion towards a guard.
No! Ateeemmm…
The greatest love of all is the one that is the most heartbreaking and the most forbidden. This is the story of forbidden love. It was a strong love broken by lies and deceits. He the hero, destined to live forever. She was the peasant priestess fated to love until the end of time. What will become of these lovers? Forbidden love has a way of lasting an eternity. But beginnings are better…
Yugi woke up. This was the fourth time that week that he had woken up to that same strange dream.
Sheez! Again with the dream. Who is that girl! I wish I could find out!
Giving up the hope of sleep Yugi got out of bed. This had been a long week. Every night for the past week had been plagued with the same dream.
It's like there's something out there trying to tell me something. But who?!
Making his way to the kitchen he got himself a glass of milk.
"I'd prefer hot chocolate but it's a bit too early for chocolate." Smiling to himself Yugi went to the lounge. Checking his watch he found out that it was three in the morning.
"Holy cow! That early? Lucky I don't have school in the morning," Yugi said to himself with relief. Switching on the T.V. Yugi settled himself down and started to relax. For some reason that dream always seemed to give him a sense of unease.
The next day, at the park.
"That is creepy Yugi, do you really think so?" Tea asked.
"Yeah, some dead chick's trying to get with Yugs. That's a new one." Joey teased.
"Its not funny Joey. I think some one is really trying to get through to me. I just wonder who?"
"Chuckey's Bride?"
"Joey!" Tea shrieked.
"Sorry! But Yugs, you gotta say that's very weird. I just don't do outta da ordinary stuff." Joey smiled.
"Yugi? Do you think your spirit has anything to do with it?" Tea inquired.
"You could be right Tea. I'll ask him later."
"Yeah and now we can do other stuff…like duel."
"Joey!"
"Ha! I beat you!" came a girl's taunting voice.
"You cheated! You aren't allowed to use a blue eye's. It belongs to Seth." Came a boy's reply.
"So! You used the dark magician! I beat you fair and square."
"Yeah right."
"See, you agree."
"No I didn't!" He could now see the boy. He had purple spiky hair with golden streaks. He was also; it seemed, in his pajamas.
"Whatever Atem, I beat you fair and square."
"Fine, say what you want," came Atem's response. Suddenly both were quiet. They had heard footsteps coming their way. They weren't meant to be out that late. Luckily the sound of soft leather shoes scuffling on dirt past.
Again he could see only the boy Atem. Noticing now that he seemed quite young, about seven. The girl's voice broke through his confused thoughts.
"C'mon Atem, lets go. I was in the kitchens earlier and I saw some sticky buns. Wanna get some?"
"Humph...I still say I beat you."
"Whatever. I bet I can get to the kitchen first and not get caught." The girl teased.
"Your on!"
"Yugi...Yugi" Mistily, sounds slowly came to Yugi. Shapes crowded his vision gradually turning into coloured blobs.
"YUGS WAKE UP!"
"I'm awake!" Yugi shouted back in shock. So much for slow. He looked around, confused. Why was he on the grass, soaked in cold water?
"He, he," Joey scratched his head, "didn't know how much I was supposed to use so..."
"Use what..." It was then when he realised that he was not soaked, he was sopping. Everything was wet including Tea
"Joey! What did you do?!"
"He decided that you being unconscious was the best time to see if he could become a fire-fighter, as you can see he failed." Casting a menacing glare at Joey Tea knelt down next to Yugi.
"You alright?"
"Other than being really cold, I'm fine...well except maybe for one thing."
"What?"
"I had another one of those visions."
"Cool! What happened Yugs? She chops your head of this time? No! She...she beat you at a duel!" Joey was jumping up and down in excitement; well he was until Tristen put a hand on top of his head to stop him bouncing.
"Yeah, actually she did beat me. Or should I say she beat Atem."
"Who's Atem Yugi?"
"I don't know but I have a funny feeling it has something to do with Yami."
"I bet you're right Yugi, but I've got to go. My mother wants me to help her round the house today."
"Same here Yugs gotta go. My sister wants to go shopping."
"Okay guys, I'll see you later."
"Bye." Joey and Tea said in unison as they turned around and left the park.
Yugi waved goodbye.
I better get back home, grandpa is leaving for Cairo tonight. And I think it's time the spirit and me had a heart to heart about my dreams.
Maybe Joey and Tristen want to have something to eat... >
