Zidet: ok ok I am sorry for taking so long.. I havent really had any time to write this..please say you guys still care..you see ..now ..only now I know what I am actually doing (laughs a little)
Celsius: what?! you haven't known?!
Zidet:.......well.....erm...no..
Yami: I already knew that...
Zidet: (sweatdrop) it was not my fault...
Celsius: ...sure.....now we really are doomed...
Yami:no...you are doomed
Akifa: shut up and start the bloody story!
(silence)
Zidet: ok ok.......here I go!! I hope you all like! the beginning of where I actually know what I am doing!
Akifa grinned over at her, as the Millenium Ring brightened. He started over to her, one slow step at a time.
"Celsius.. come on.. calm down . If you dont I cannot guarantee your safety" His voice was calm yet dark as her reached one hand out caressing the side of her face gently.
Celsius sniffled, her hair waving around her face as her eyes closed, the aura atill giving off the bright sensation of power. She had trouble thinking on how he got that.
"Why? How could you do this to me? You yourself know how the Pharoah is now. He has obviously gone mad. I am sure you know that. And I am not even from here..and here...wherever this may be." Her voice was getting softer as her power decreased, her body beginnning to lower to the ground.
"All of these.. these people. They all see through eyes of black and white. They see me as either a curse or a blessing. But I .. I know I am neither. I am just a girl. A lost girl. I don't even know where I come from. And I just want to know where I am from. And I just want to know who I am. Where are my parents? and who are they"? another sparkling tear went down her face, hitting the floor.
Akifa gasped slightly eyeing the tear which seemed to emit a strange golden light as it hit the ground. The floors old age seemed to pass through a time of renewal as it began to sparkle again as if it was just put down..
"Nobody even cares... Only one person here has shown any concern for me. And I would have to say that would be Isis! She is the only one..that showed any kind of feeling. Kind of like an old friend. Almost like a Mother. It almost feels like she is trying to return a favor." Celsius continued ,the aura around her fading a little more as she spoke. Her feet lowered to the almost new soil.
Akifa halted his power immediatly as he backed up.
"this..does not make any sense. what are you..? who are you"? His own voice was shaky as he stood perfectly still, reaching one hand to the side of her face again.
"wait..rebirth. Tears of rebirth.. the very essence of your soul. Masika." He sighed tracing her tears with his fingers.
Celsius tilted her head a little, confusion and pain marked on her face.
"what? Masika..? no, no. What are you talking about? I am Celsius."
Akifa drew back his hand quickly feeling the wetness of the tear on his hand. His eyes went back to her as he watched the aura fade to nothing. Celsius went to the ground falling on her knee's and crying out in pain Her locks of hair went over her shoulders as she winced gritting her teeth.
"you are still in pain from trying to escape from the Pharoah aren't you? That fall you took was no light one".
Celsius just nodded as she kept her eyes to the ground which now almost sparkled with a strange light. She sniffled as Akifa kneeled down beside her not knowing what words should be spoken at this rather strange moment.
"was..was this why I was sent away? Sent away from them"? her voice shook as she stared through him, frightening images running through her mind
Akifa wanted to hold her in his arms, for he knew what soul inhabited that body. And along time ago his heart ached for it.
Celsius let out a small laugh, the glimmering tears still falling down her face and dropping off of her chin.
"Nobody in this world cares about me. All they care about.. All they want is my pain!" she screamed out as she struggled to stand, failing and falling back to the ground. Akifa watched sadly, still a bit confused on the reason why his love did not go to the afterlife.
"Masika..? erm.. Celsius.. I never wanted to see you cry. I always.....wanted to see you smile. If I had the power to take it away. I would..But its so hard.To understand whats happening. I already know..what you were .. I saw it in your eyes just now..but." his eyes lowered sadly
"It scares me for some reason...because..for all these years I wanted nothing more than to see you again. I ..have been so bitter.. and angry." he looked back up at her , his hands shaking.
"you were the only one that took it away. I hated everyone after what happened to my village. But then..then you came along. And as I looked into your eyes when you glanced back at me. The pain. it was gone. Even for just a moment. It made me get the feeling that everything was going to be ok. And when you gave me that feeling. I did something that I never thought could ever happen to a bitter soul just as mine. I fell in love with you." He glared suddenly taking Celsius hands in his.
"But then after I felt my hate and anger diminish..those bastards took you away from me! They took you away just like they took away my family!" he gripped her hands tightly making her whine a little.
"that night after all was said and done , I killed that man that had caused you to die. I showed no remorse. I hated them all. But even that didnt help. I would never care for anyone ever again..ever." He let go of her hands as Celsius looked to the ground, her face blank of any emotion.
"Masika? was that my name?" she asked softly , not even bothering to look up.
Akifa nodded slowly , his eyes filled with matching pain of Celsius's.
"Yes.. or at least that's what it used to be. But you are Celsius now. You are different. Though your eyes have already showed me what you were before. Isis's best friend and my only love.
Outside of Akifa's hiding area an egyptian soldier peered through listening to the two's conversations and grinning a bit.
"The Pharaoh will love to hear this. I will probably be rewarded for finding the Palaces's most exotic pleasure slave." He nodded a bit to himself admiring her beauty. Beatiful Celsius....
"Its a shame the Pharoah gets to have her.I am sure a girl like that would give anyone the highest amount of pleasure possible." he whispered taking a step back from the area he was listening at, his grin growing wider.
"there now ..Masika..cherish your time now with your Tomb robber Akifa.Because soon you will be back in the arms of your Pharaoh."
He carefully snuck of, leaving the two with their painful memories.
Celsius sat on the ground, shaking her head a little sniffling.
"If..if what you say is true.. Then I could never again have a place in your heart by the way I am now. You should know that." she whispered feeling her power fade completely, as a silence fell between them after.
Isis's eyes snapped open, looking around the room quickly. The faces blew away from her mind like a soft wind as she took a glance around the nurses room. She had found that she was curled against the wall, hugging her knee's. Her legs were shaky as she stood up, almost falling back down at her sudden movement.
"Dear Isis...you have been laying there like that for so long lost in thought. You..you were thinking of your best friend. Masika..were you not?" a nurse called out going over to her, her eyes filled with concern.
Isis looked over a bit suprised at the quick response of her getting up. She realized it was one of the older nurses as she gazed into the woman's old brown eyes. She looked down and walked a bit past her and clenching her fists hearing that name.
"...yes.. I was. I miss her so much. I want to cry when I think of what happened. I cant erase it from my mind. I just cannot. And though I try so hard. Every night those images.those nightmares come to haunt me and make me want to die. Did I fail..? Was I supposed to die with her.. is that what she wanted..?" Her voice was so shaky as she spoke her fingers tracing the design of her millenium necklace.
The nurse walked over to her putting her arms around her securely making Isis cry more tears rolling down her face.
" why did it have to be that way?! She was so scared and in so much pain... I will never forgive him for what he did to her! " she screamed out shaking with fear as the images began to spill back over her mind like fire. She held onto the nurse tightly afraid again as she kept her eyes open knowing that if she closed them, the images would be more violent. But she still saw them making more tears fall freely.
"there now Isis. its alright. dont cry. You did nothing wrong. it will be ok." the nurse whispered in her ear slowly letting the words sink into Isis's mind trying to calm her. Her body was shaking though still as she went to her knee's again the nurse going down beside her placing one hand to the back of her head and letting her lay her head down on her lap.
"Masika.. I want to see her. I hate the Pharaoh for doing that. I hate him..." she muttered silently narrowing her eyes and clenching her fists.
The nurse just nodded and rubbed her back gently sighing and praying for Masika and Isis both as the wind blew inside the room drying Isis's tears.
'Its alright Isis..dont cry.please dont cry..' A voice whispered to her. But is was not the old nurse. it was far younger sounding. But she did not want to let herself believe that it was who she truly wanted to hear. It would hurt knowing that deep down she knew it was just her imagination. Yet......it was so clear. It calmed her soul, but terrified her heart.
"Its all my fault.. you werent so supposed to die..you werent supposed to...die.." Her eyes closed as the wind stilled leaving the room as Isis drifted to sleep the nurse smiling as she felt the mysterious wind depart calmly.
"thank you Masika...or rather I shoud be saying Celsius.. now..if only Isis can open her eyes and see what and who you are...."
Zidet: alrighty.. (slinks back hoping to avoid getting pummeled by angry people.) I am done for now...dont hurt me..arrgh chapters never come out as I want the to...(is sorry)
