Two-Moon Sky: Chapter 1 - In a Place Called Riverbend
The sun was high, makingthe pyramids of Cairo cast dark shadows on the sand. In an old, abandoned cavern sat a young girl, brown locks resting on her shoulders. Her blonde eyes shimmered like gold, reflecting in the water. The nile was low, seeing as how it was the Season of Emergence (Harvest Season), so the steps of the cavern were dry to the bottom. The girl sat there, her eyes fixed on her image in the blue mirror. The white headdress blew with each gust of wind blowing the the Niles canal. Droplets of tears sunk into the water, making it ripple and destort the girls reflection. From down the river she could hear her friends calling for her. "Amunet! You in Riverbend?" She sighed and whiper her wet face. "Yeah...I'm here." she replied, waving to the approaching boat. Amunet's best friend, a white-headed girl, pulled her aboard the deck. As her friend gazed at her face, she asked, "You alright?" She looked worried, but Amunet just smiled and said, "The usual, you know how it is Ridea." There was another girl driving the boat (She's the oldest) who said, "When will he learn? Ready for practice ladies?" The three of them laughed it off, riding the current up the Nile. When they reached a small dock, they tied up the boat and made their way to a rock beystadium. The Riverbend Stadium was the name they gave it so long ago, when they all became beybladers. "Match one, Amunet and Sekhmet versus Kimi and Uadjet!" Ridea anounced as Amunet and Kimi readied their blades. "Three...two...one, go!" The blades collided in a clash of metal. Smashing and ramming, they battled on for about fifteen minutes, until Amunet took a win. "Sekhmet! Flip 'er!" she instructed as the tan blade pulled up on Uadjet's attack ring. It fell to the sand - outside the stadium. Practice was not yet over, however. It would go on for at least an hour longer.
/Later On/
Daybreak was coming, and the girls had now to head home. Ridea and Amunet parted with Kimi, who lived on the other side of the Nile. As Ridea and Amunet walked into Cairo, Ridea stopped dead in her tracks. "I have to tell you something..." she muttered, tears forming in her eyes, "I'm leaving to go back to Japan tomorrow." Shocked, Amunet spun around to face her friend. A horrible feeling washed over her. "You just...going to leave me here?" Amunet yelled, hurt and confused. Why would my best friend leave me like this? "I'm not doing this to hurt you!" Ridea shrieked back to her, "I have to go! My grandmother's there waiting for this money, you know that!" Amunet started running, faster and faster away from her 'so called' friend. When she reached her foster father's home, she snuck quietly to her room, where she sobbed into her bedspread. Tears streaming down her cheeks, Amunet cursed aloud about her friend, "After all the years she spent with me, she just up and leaves! Why?!" It had been an hour when Amunet heard the front door open downstairs. Her eyes widened with fear, letting more water drip to the floor. With all her might, she prayed to her Gods that he would not come to her room. His footsteps stopped out her door. Please no! she cried in her head, when suddenly the window behind her swung open. They had come for her! Ridea and Kimi shoved Amunets things into a suitcase befor she could say a word, and dropped it out the window. Without talking, they exchanged looks that said it all. They were leaving, all of them. He could never harm her again, never. She grabbed Sekhmet and jumped out the window, her friends catching her. "One thing." Amunet whispered, taking her foster father's last paycheck (In cash ) from the table, and ran for Riverbend, her two best friends by her side.
/At Riverbend/
They saw Kimi's boat loaded up and ready to go. Each girl got in and was set to leave. As the boat made it way away from Cairo, they finally began to speak. "I can't believe you came for me." Amunet said, her mood already lifting. "How could I leave my best friends?" Ridea replied softly, embracing Amunet and Kimi in a group-hug. "How in the world did you sneak out Kimi?" Amunet asked with amazement. "You know my folks, they've been wanting me to get out and see the world for years, so I'll be writing back to them!" Kimi said with a laugh. She pulled some money from her pocket, "Funds for the trip!" Kimi's parents were one of the richest couples in Cairo, not to mention, the kindest. They had always been good to Kimi, and even cared for Amunet when she needed it. There was enough money there to get two of them on a plane. Ridea's grandma in Japan was sick (Stays in a nursing home), while Ridea was shipped to Cairo to make some money to help her. Both girls were still what Amunet considered lucky. As for herself, she usually saw as close to cursed.
