The night air was hot and musty, with little white dots glimmering across the wide open sky. Kloee leaned against the stoned balcony and close her eyes for a second to absorb all this information.
She was just another college student, going on a vacation, then all of a sudden, being pulled back in time. And the strangest yet, is that it's ancient Egypt! Which had always been her first love, until she discovered the world of Japan, and fell in love with that instead. So she wondered vaguely why she hadn't been pulled into Japan instead of Egypt. It's not even the present day mind you, it's 3,000 years into the past! Is someone making her learn a lesson? Kloee didn't do anything wrong, but…it seems so…-her thoughts were interrupted by a faint screeching above. Swiftly raising her head, Kloee looked into the sky, there was a moment where a bright spot appeared in the center of the sky, golden yellow with sparkly dots. At first Kloee thought it was only her imagination, but the faint screech appeared again, it sounded like a bird, with a high tone.
A hand placed on Kloee's shoulder made her jumped, a chuckle let out and out came the deep familiar voice she has loved. " Why so nervous Kloee?" said the pharaoh. She breathed a sign of relief and smiled, almost forgetting that he had invited her outside here for a little "talk".
" It's nothing…", she trailed off
The pharaoh looks concerned, he put his warm hand around Kloee's shoulder to show a sign of comfort. " If…just say, there is anything you need to talk to me about, just say it. Don't keep anything in, he smiled, my father, who once was a great pharaoh himself, had taught me to tell everything that is bothering me. Because the people here are my friends, and they shall do the best they can to help me. He looked over to Kloee, and you should do that tooJ
She looked at him for a moment, not knowing what to say, whether she should tell him the whole "time" story, or just ignore it. She finally decided to just tell him about the strange sight she earlier saw.
" If you say so…I just saw this bird, or I think it was a bird, hovering near here a few minutes ago. It was strange because of the sound it made, and how it disappeared so quickly, it was like…it was never there…" Kloee was afraid that she made no sense and the pharaoh would think she's crazy.
To her great surprise he smiled and said, " I think you saw one of the best sign there is to see", he said softly. By Kloee's puzzled look he laughed even more, " you know you're really cute when you do that" he said quietly. Kloee's cheek suddenly turned into a light pink color, " t-thank you…" she said, putting her head down, avoiding the deep gaze of the pharaoh. No boy had ever complimented her before, she have had boyfriends but those were just jerks who used her for their sick reasons. Now, being here and being praised by the pharaoh, can it get any better?
Slowly Kloee felt her chin being lifted up by a strong get gentle hand, she looked up and found herself lost in a pair of beautiful malevolent violet eyes, just as she did when she first met him.
He spoke in a subtle voice that no one else except she can hear, " you really looked beautiful tonight Kloee, just like a true Egyptian". And without realizing what's happening, Kloee felt her cheek getting hot and her palms getting sweaty. Then she was pulled into this trance, as the pharaoh's eyes got closer, his face less than an inch away from hers', his lips moving nearer every passing seconds. Until their nose was touching each other. She could smell his warm breath on her lips, it was so sudden, but soon everything froze. Not knowing what happened, Kloee quickly recovered, she thought the pharaoh was going to kiss her, but she didn't really feel it. Although he stopped right at the moment, their faces were still close together, the pharaoh whispered softly into her ear," I'm sorry Kloee, but this is too fast". Without another word he planted a soft quick kiss on her lips and left. She can hardly felt that, it was so fast and swift and now he's gone. Confused as ever, with a slight remorse feeling of disappointment she hopped onto the silk fabric sheets in her bed and slept the second she closes her eyes. This time, no dreams.
