Small note I notice when I wrote this I had given two names to one character just to clear up any confusion or make it worse, Orion and Orin are the same person, there not errors, just that Orion's name is just between him and Jenny moments and Orin when others are around, or when referred to him. , hope that clears up anything that is confusing. NOTES AT THE BOTTOM

Chapter 9

Trials

Pharaoh Amenhotep sat on the steps to a large door just out side the palace; his hands were under his chin. "Where are they?" he said looking at the sky. Seto leaned against a near by wall, "They will be here," he said, "Alec is never late." Andy looked at his father, "Hello, I was a year late, remember?" he ask his father.

Seto looked at his son, "That is because you were lost in a miscarriage and some how was brought back and I don't want to think about it right now," he laughed. Andy zipped his mouth Kate shook her head, "I can't believe my sister is going to do this," she said with a sigh. "Maybe she chickened out," said Prince Orin walking up next to everyone.

All of the men in the area looked at him and Kate did too, "Prince Orin," said Kate, "My sister never chickens out, she may at times be afraid but never chicken." A small procession approached the group, men and Kate. "Hey here they come," said Troy pointing at them.

Prince Orin stood next to his father, Seto stood up against the wall as he was leaning on it before, Yugi, Matt, Joey, and Troy jaws dropped at the sight of Alec, Sara, Melissa, Jade, Tea and Mai.

They appeared to be looking like Egyptian queens, "Alec," Seto whispered, he could not believe how young she looked for being as old as he was now. Tea walked over to Yugi, "Surprise," she said, while Jade joined her mother and brother at the stairs. Sara, Melissa and a figure covered in white approached. Pharaoh Amenhotep dismissed, Sara and Melissa with a wave of his hand.

The figure completely covered in a white silk vale, which kept the one on the outside from seeing in. The Pharaoh approached the figure with Orin, everyone stood with his or her friends/family as Prince Orin pulled back Jenny's vale.

Her face was white and soft, her eyes lids had black coal on them with blue and purple eye liner around it, and her hair had some black mixed with the purple hair coloring that appeared to had been washed our. Seto looked at Alec, "I guess you couldn't get it all out, of her hair I take it?" he asked in a whisper. Alec nodded, "75 washes, and we got 75 percent of it out," she whispered to him.

Prince Orin walked Jenny over to his father who stood a few steps away, "Jennifer Kaiba, you wish to take part in the Star Wheel trials risking not only you mind, but you body, soul, life, and heart do you accept?" he asked in a deep tone.

Jenny spoke with out hesitation, "Yes, I am, Pharaoh," she said. Orin looked at her surprised that she would answer like that. "The rewards for you passing are as follows, knowledge of the shadow monster armors, the status as a royal member of the court higher then the appointed by my self, and the positions as the Pharaoh's woman, do you accept these terms?" he asked. Jenny nodded, "Yes, Pharaoh," she answered again without hesitation.

"Wait, Pharaoh's woman that means?" asked Andy to Kate. "Yes, my brother, she would be the wife of the Pharaoh or Concubine," said Kate. Andy shook his head if we had known this we would have stopped it right from the start. "Shh," said Princess Jenna who was now standing next to Andy, "My father is speaking," she hushed Andy and Kate.

"By the power vested in me, you may now enter the trail of the Star Wheel be warned once inside there is no turning back, if you fail you will have one cycle of Ra to live," he spoke. "However make it throw this first test then you shall not sleep for the next three cycles of Ra in order to past the endurance part of this test, which is part of this trial. Second, no one may stand in your place in the Star Wheel if so that person or people will die, as will you. The third is that you will past the test of knowledge tonight, the test of will tomorrow evening, and finally heart. Hearing these terms and test do you agree to enter?" he asked her. Jenny nodded, "YES!" she said, in a quick and strict tone, knowing that the third may cast her, her life.

The Prince removed his arm from Jenny's side, "Be careful," he whispered in her ear. Jenny closed her eyes as to say, "I will, to him," she took the Pharaoh's hand. "Open Star Wheel doors the trail of strength and test has begun," said the Pharaoh to the doors.

The large golden stone doors slowly opened, the Pharaoh looked at his fellow Seer, "You know if you don't make it, your parents will hurt me, dearly for this," he said. Jenny looked over her should where he brother, sister, and parents stood. She looked over at Yugi and his family, and then to Joey and his crew, and finally looking at Orin, a feeling of lost swept over her, she then looked at the Pharaoh, "If I don't do this then we are all dead either way," she whispered. Amenhotep nodded "then let us proceed," he said, Jenny and he entered, and the large door closed behind them.

Andy looked at the ground, "Well I have done, it now," he said, "I can't believe all of us just sent Jenny on a death mission, not to mention lose her virginity in there," he said. Alec rolled her eyes, "He won't do that it isn't part of the trials," she said, "I know I researched it." Andy and everyone looked at Alec, "How would you know about this Alec?" questioned Tea.

Alec and Sara glared at Tea, "If we recall correctly you ended up here just before Seth was to marry you, when we got stuck here before," said Sara with a slight smirk on her face. Tea giggled then sat down on the steps remembering, "How long do these trials last?" asked Yugi suddenly.

Prince Orin sat with his hands on his face, "all night sometimes, but sometimes before day break, it mainly depends on the person."

Hours passed slowly the night rolls on, everyone outside of the stone doors. A slight scream woke everyone, at one point but soon found it was only Jenna having a nightmare laying her head on her brother's knee. Seto looked at Alec, "Well she must be making progress," said Seto to Alec quietly.

Alec nodded, "If she wasn't we would know," she said to him. Seto touched Alec's shoulder, "I know this is bad timing but you look great, tonight," he said to her. Alec smiled, "I haven't heard you say that in a long time," she said to him.

Seto held Alec in his arms, "I am sorry I sided with Sara about Jenny, I love Jenny you know that, but I was worried about your safety," he said. Alec nodded, "I am sorry I got mad at you," apologized Alec. Seto gave Alec along hard passionate kiss something he had not done for a long time since they had renewed their vows and when Jenny turned rebel.

Andy and Kate looked at there parents, "Nice to see them do that again," said Andy with a smirk on his face. Kate nodded, "Yeah it is," she said in a sigh looking over at Troy who was staring at her. Prince Orin sat with his hands behind his head on the steps and his sister's head on his leg, "What is taking so long?" he said leaning against the wall, "Jenny should be out now."

Everyone looked at Orin, "You're worried about her aren't you?" asked Andy. Orin looked over at Andy, "Yes, I am, she is very strong, it shouldn't have taken her long to finish with my father," he said. Jenna's head ticked, "they are still fighting it out," she said without opening her eyes. Andy and Orin looked the girl, "you can see them?" asked Kate. The little girl smiled, "Close your eyes and focus on duel monsters, you will see them or better yet hear them too."

Everyone closed his or her eyes and focused, "Seto," said Alec grabbing his arm in fear. Jenny was flying around in a red suit of armor, and Amenhotep in a blue suit. Amenhotep threw another punch at Jenny; dodging the punch, but was hit hard by the other one that soon followed through knocking her half way across the room.

"Jenny!" shouted Andy and Kate. "She can't hear you, it just your minds that can see hers, she doesn't know what you seeing," said the girl. Jenny flew around bending twisting dodging punches as if some big snake.

"That is Slyfer armor, she has on," said Yugi seeing the second mouth on Jenny's forehead. Amenhotep was appearing to become tired from his attacks Jenny was running him down, "Give yet?" she asked. The Pharaoh laughed, "I will not be beaten by you," he said. Jenny shrugged, "Fine," she said and twisted around Amenhotep squeezing the life out of him with her scales suit. Suddenly the image vanished and the doors of the Star Wheel opened.

Everyone that had been waiting turned to see who was going to step out first; Pharaoh Amenhotep stepped out, with Jenny leaning on his side. Andrew went to help his sister, as she was weak from the battle. "Jenny has passed her first test, strength and knowledge, she will live past tomorrow, but is not to fall asleep for another two cycles of Ra," he said walking back towards the palace.

Jenny wobbled as Andy held her up for a moment then she was on her own feet, "Jenny," he said worried. Jenny struggled to keep her eyes open, sweat covered her face, "I did it," she said nearly falling down again. Orin caught her, "Let me Andrew," he said taking Jenny in his arms, Jenny looked at Orin, "Prince," she said softly.

The others went to bed however, Jenny was wide-awake she felt better after some food and peace of mind, but she still was tired from her mind battle. Orin promised to keep a watchful eye on her to make sure she did not sleep.

"You don't have to stay up and watch me, fight off sleep for the next 48 hours," she said. Orin smiled, "I want to," he said with a happy tone, "not like I am going to be getting, much anyways with Ra rising soon." Jenny looked at him from her balcony where she stood, "You are different from your father, Orion," she said.

Orion smiled, "That's because I am not really his son," he admitted. Jenny looked at Prince Orin, he closed his eyes as she moved and sat next to him on the floor next to her bed, "Adopted?" she asked him.

Orin (Orion) smiled, "My father, not Pharaoh Amenhotep, was a member of the royal court, my real mother died in child birth with me, father died in battle" he said. Jenny saw the sadness in Orion's eyes, "You remember your mother and father?" she asked. Orion shook his head, "No, sometimes I just close my eyes and picture them together; Mom was amazing according to the Pharaoh. One of the strongest women he had ever seen, she was brave, cunning, smart, a lot like you," he said. Jenny laughed, "But, I haven't died in child birth," she joked.

Orion gave a fake laugh, "Yeah, good thing too," he said, "So what about you? What is your story?" he asked. Jenny leaned against the frame of her bed, "Mine, I am from both my parents, Mom had two miscarriages before my brother and sister were born, both stabbing incidents." Orion looked at her, "Stabbings, but in your time I thought there were different more advance ways to kill people?" he asked.

Jenny giggled, "Yes, but the person who stabbed her made her get in to a really bad car accident they wanted her to lose the baby, not her life," she said. Orion nodded, "Why?" he asked. Jenny shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, we only know it was a plot to get my dad to leave her and marry so psycho woman that was being controlled by my dead Uncle Noah, the minute I found out I took him apart. That was fun, how I…" she stopped knowing that she was probably talking no sense to the prince as they sat against the bed.

Orion had a confused look on his face, Jenny explained about technology and how it worked, and then she explained since he did not fully understand, "Magic, is how we got his soul in the body," she said.

Orion listened as Jenny talked about science her parents' separation and how they got back together and remarried a few months later and both had been a little unhappy however thanks to her three years ago they had been on and off happiness ever since. The sun was nearly up when Jenny finished, with her sister and Troy's careers in duel monsters. Orion was happy to hear Jenny's stories and life he felt all he wanted to do was stay close to her. Jenny was appreciating Orion's company, she realized that she was doing all the talking now and Orion was just daydreaming.

"Orion?" asked Jenny, "Hello Egypt to Orion come, back down," she joked. Orion shook his head, he had been so amazed with Jenny's stories and being with her that he began to daydream, he shook his head. "What? Oh sorry must have…" he started looking at Jenny's eyes blue and purple color eyes, "I am sorry Jena, I guess I was just picturing your time with shadow games," he said.

Jenny smiled, "That is ok my Prince," she said with a smile, "it's been a long day for me and it's just beginning now, I am sure the others are waking, you better get to your room. I need to go to down to the dinning hall," she said trying to avoid Orion eyes with her own.

Orion nodded, "Yeah your right, we both have been up all night, I need to rest, you be careful today and don't hurt yourself. I hate to see anything bad happen to you that would prevent you from continuing the trials," he said standing up offering his hand to help her up, Jenny stood up, "I will be fine," she said, a sudden wobble, "other wise," she finished, as she fell into Orion's arms.

"Easy there," Orion said catching Jenny. She looked up in to his gentle ocean eyes, he looked back into her purple color blue tinted eyes, as if their minds had mashed together in heavenly bliss. Jenny realized what had happened and shook herself out of it quickly and stood up, "Sorry, I guess I am still slightly recovering from the mind battle my body hasn't really fully healed, yet I guess," she said nervously.

Orion smiled at her, Jenny saw it and her feeling went to mush for the prince as if something inside her told her this was right her and him, and they were meant to be together.

A knock on the door broke the silence; "Jenny?" said Melissa's voice from the door. "Yes," said Jenny. The door opened, "Oh, your still awake, Prince Orin, what are you doing here?" she asked. Prince Orin looked at Melissa "does it matter, why I am here, I am the crown Prince, I can do as I wish without being questioned," he snapped.

Melissa bowed her head, "My apologies, Prince Orin," she said entering the room. Orin turned back to Jenny "be careful today Jenny, and stay awake and I would really like if you didn't mention to anyone…" he trailed off, Jenny nodded before he finished, "I understand my Prince," she said bowing to him.

Prince Orin walked pasted Melissa giving her a mean look; Melissa lowered her eyes and then walked over to Jenny. "So how long has he been here?" she asked once Prince Orin had left Jenny's room and shut the door. Jenny flopped on to back on the bed, "all night," she said looking at the ceiling of marble stone. "We talked if that is what you want to know," said Jenny.

Melissa leaned over and laid on her stomach and elbows on the bed, "About what?" she asked. Jenny looked at her interested older cousin, "I not telling you, as I just said to Prince Orin, I won't say what we discussed," she said. Melissa's face squinted, "You like him, don't you?" she questioned.

Jenny sat up on her elbows, "No, I don't," she said. Melissa nodded, "Right, you like spending time with him, come on you two were in here talking the remainder of the night," she pointed at Jenny. Jenny rolled her eyes, "You were listening," she said. Melissa laughed, "Wondered if those pauses in between your life story were kisses?" she asked. Jenny shook her head, "No lip locking, took place in this room, but I did fall into his eyes a few times."

Melissa smiled at her cousin, "Your secret is safe with me," she said holding up one hand. Jenny sighed, "Well I am hungry and the food should be appearing soon down stairs, let's go," she said. Melissa stood up, and followed Jenny to the door, "Just tell me one last thing?" asked Melissa once they were at the door.

Jenny stood at the closed door, "If you could, would you, kiss Prince Orin?" asked Melissa. Jenny smiled, and opened the door, Seto, Alec, Andy, Kate, Yugi, Troy, Joey, Mai, Matt, Jade, and Tea fell into the room since they were all ease dropping.

"I am not going to answer that question right now," she said then turning to everyone in the doorway, "And all of you get out of my way! I am HUNGRY!" snapped Jenny.

The Second Star Wheel Trial

Jenny got through the rest of the day with ease the sun kept her awake for it was so bright not covered in pollution, like back home in the 21st century. Jenny sat on the open balcony that was out side one of the large halls, Orin was watching Jenny as she prepared her mind that afternoon trial. Jenny closed her eyes a few time to focus, every time she did Orin would move from his place but Jenny would open her eyes quickly as soon as she heard him.

"I know your there, Orion," she said finally after a long period of silence, "I am not sleeping, if that is what your worried about." Orion walked out of the shadow of the column, which he had been hiding. Jenny turned and faced him, "I am getting better aren't I," she said. Orion nodded, "That took you less time then last," he said. Jenny laughed, "Well at least I could tell it was you this time, unlike my sappy cousin who gets a kick out of this," she said, referring to her and Orion's, meeting in her room that morning.

Orion chuckled, "Yeah my father was watching your balcony and saw us from his room," he said. Jenny sighed, "I guess we have spies in both our families," she said sarcastically. Orion nodded, "Yes, and my father has made me admit to something, but I just don't know what to do about it," he said.

Jenny shook her head, "You mean feeling for someone special," she said guessing with her own, not using her new mind sensing skill that she had acquired from the last trial, for passing. Orion nodded, "Yeah, but um," he paused and looked up at the sky. "I care about her, want to tell her how I feel, but I don't know what to do about it," he said. Jenny nodded, "yeah I know, it is difficult," she said in a salmon tone thinking the person wasn't her he was referring too.

"Jena, be careful tonight, I know what my father is planning to do to you in the Star Wheel trials. You have to be strong and fight it with all you have," he said with a determined look in his eyes as his met hers.

Jenny looked in to Orion's ocean deep aqua eyes, as if becoming ensnared by them; he pulled her close to him. Jenny realized the person, he had referred too earlier was in fact her now, "You're worried about me?" she asked in a soft voice. Orion took his strong hands on Jenny's exposed shoulders, "Yes," he said.

Jenny closed her eyes as Orion moved his head forward as to kiss her, "Orin, where are you big brother?" said Jenna's voice from in side the palace. Jenny opened her eyes, and Orion pulled away, "My sister, calls excuse me," he said and walking away quickly. Jenny smiled and looked up at the sky, she saw two clouds and they merged as if to beings kissing.

Jenny closed her eyes, she could sense Orin was far away and that someone else approached. "Hi Mom," she said without even looking in the general direction. "I saw that Jenny," said Alec coming up behind her daughter.

Jenny turned and sat on the railing of the balcony, "Saw what?" she tried to hide the new blush that was appearing on her face. "You almost kissed Prince Orin," she said. Jenny went red, "Well, actually, he almost kissed me," she admitted. Alec nodded, and crossed her arms, "Jenny you need to remember that this isn't our timeline, if we change too much here then we are in fact changing history," said Alec.

Jenny nodded, "I know," she said in a sad tone of voice, "but Mom, how can I stop what I am feeling, now? Does this mean my heart is back?" she asked. Alec padded her daughter on the back, "I can't tell you when or if that has happened, just that you must, keep away from Orin do you hear me," she said and walked away. Jenny looked at her mother as she walked away, she looked out over the horizon and down at the city below, "it's time," she said to herself.

The sun was nearly down when Jenny arrived at the Star Wheel doors, everyone was there, "Jenny," spoke the Pharaoh, "You have pasted your first cycle of Ra, and now you must enter the trials once again to begin your second cycle the test of will." Jenny nodded, "I am ready my Pharaoh," she said. The door opened, Jenny and Pharaoh Amenhotep walked inside and they shut behind them once again.

Hours passed slowly as the night went on at about mid night a sudden scream of pain came from the room. Seto almost opened the door, but Orin stopped him, "No she's fine, it just a test of us," he said. Seto moved back over to the wall, "What do you mean a test of us?" asked Yugi.

"No one can enter the Star Wheel room while Jenny is in their or else she fails we must try and ignore her screams of pain, it is the only way," said Jenna in a sad tone. Alec moved from her spot, "We have to do something, she is in pain I can…" Alec suddenly squinted, as if she herself was having a vision, and fell down to the ground.

"Alec!" said Seto worried. Alec opened her eyes, "I am ok, it was just Jenny, she was looking for me, with her mind," she said. Orin looked at the door, "The test is of her will, and knowledge of all of us," he said.

Another scream came from the trials, Seto was growing impatient, "We can't let her die in there," he said angrily he was worried, more worried then he had ever been his daughter was in pain and he could feel it. The doors suddenly opened, Pharaoh Amenhotep stepped forward. Jenny wasn't to be seen, everyone feared the worst, then Jenny struggled on her two feet as she stepped out of the blinding light that came from the room.

The door shut, Jenny looked exhausted and was breathing heavy, she looked as if she was about to collapse. Orin moved to help her but his father stopped him, "No, Orin, she must walk on her own this time," he said. Jenny slowly moved forward, large whip marks appeared on her back, as blood began to poor from them.

Jenny made it to the bottom of the long narrow steps, she was about to fall down now, "Now would be a good time, to catch her," said Amenhotep. Orin, Seto, Yugi, Alec, Andy and Kate ran to get to Jenny as she hit the ground hard. "Jennifer," shouted Orin lifting her off the ground. Jenny opened her eyes, "I did it I passed the second trial," she said to him breathing hard.

Seto and Alec were looking at her back; "Will these?" asked Seto looking at Pharaoh Amenhotep, in a worried voice that his daughter might now have scars. "No, they aren't permanent they will vanish at sunrise," he said, "They are to serve as a reminder not to lie in the Star Wheel trials." Jenny looked up at Pharaoh Amenhotep with anger in her eyes, "I won't," she said looking at him determined, "I won't do it," she said in angry voice getting off the ground.

Pharaoh Amenhotep smirked, "but you will, deep down you know you will have too," he said and walked away. Jenny stood on her own two feet feeling angry but she soon let it fall for her mind was exhausted and she had to stay awake for another 24 hours then the final test of heart would begin. Jenny felt her legs start to buckle as she felt a sudden loss of energy, Seto caught her, Jenny looked up at her dad, "So how am I doing?" she asked.

Seto looked at everyone then at his daughter, "You're doing, okay," was all he could say to his daughter while holding back his fear for her to see. Alec moved over to her daughter and Seto, "You need to get some place to relax and recover, come on everyone lets take her to her room," suggested Alec in an uneasy tone. Seto carried Jenny in his arms, and everyone else followed except Yugi and Melissa.

Melissa sat on the bottom step of the Star Wheel stairs, "I am worried she is exhausted right now and there is no way she is going to make it through the next trial," she said to him. Yugi shook his head, "Melissa, I would hold a lot more faith in your cousin then what you see," he said.

Melissa shook her head, "The trial of heart is the most dangerous, you sit under the sun strapped to that table, as the heat pores on you, and you have to confess all of you secrets and desires," she said in a quick and angry tone. Yugi looked at the group, as they walked away towards the palace, "Jenny has nothing to hide," he said. Melissa shook her head, "She has one, a desire and a secret that could kill her if not told soon," she said.

Yugi looked at Melissa as she stood up, "I take it you know what it is?" he asked. Melissa nodded, "She is in love with Prince Orin, and she knows he loves her in return, but neither have clearly come out with it," she said quietly. Yugi nodded, "I have seen them together and Jenny seems most relaxed and happy when she is around him, do you want me to say anything to the others?" he asked.

Melissa shook her head, "No, I would like you and me to know this information only Yugi," she said. Yugi nodded, "I will keep it safe until needed," he said.

Everyone went to bed except Orin who volunteered to watch Jenny through the night again; the young prince thought it was part of his duty to her. Jenny sat with her back against the bed frame while Orin handed her food, "Orion, I don't need anymore, I am stuffed," she said turning down a piece of fish with an almost ketup like sauce.

"Alright, you won't eat anymore," he said, "Then I will make you at least put it in your mouth." Jenny shook her head like a child, "Nope," she said. Orin put his fingers on Jenny's nose and made her mouth open, when Jenny did, he stuck the piece of fish in it, "There," he said. Jenny ate it without complaint, "That was low and you knew it too," she said in an angry voice once the fish was down.

Orin laughed and smiled at her, "You hardly ate anything today figured you should at least try something," he said moving away towards the balcony. Jenny looked up at Orion, as he had his back to her, "Orion, why do you stay with me?" she asked.

Orin turned, "I stay because I want to, I like your company but if you don't want mine, then I can leave and just periodically check on you, which I know you would surely hate," he said. Jenny quickly declined that, "No, I was just wondering, that's all" she said trying to stand up. Orin went to help her stand up, "Orion, I can do this," she said trying to stand up using the bed as a stand to help her to her feet.

Jenny got to her feet but her legs soon collapsed under her, Orin quickly ran and caught her, just as she was about to fall. "Jena," he said in worried tone of voice, helping her up to her feet.

Jenny looked up at him, she saw his ensnaring eyes and soon found that he was looking back in to her purple/blue eyes entangled with hers. Jenny did not know if it was exhaustion for being up almost a full 48 hours straight now, or Orion's soft eyes when he looked at her but something just told it was ok too look at him in a loving way.

Jenny hugged him as he held her in his arms; he was surprise that she was the one doing it and not him. Orin enclosed on her embrace to him, he felt Jenny tears as the flowed now from her eyes on to his bare shoulder.

"Jena," Orion said in a quiet voice, Jenny looked at him, wiping the tears away. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have done that," she said letting go of him. Orin shook his head, "No, I have been waiting to do that to you for a long time now," he said. Jenny sat down on the bed, Orin next to her, "Jena, there is something I have to tell you but I am afraid to say it for you may reject me," he said. Jenny touched Orin's face, "Orion, what is it?" she asked.

Orin felt a warm, happy, safe feeling well up inside him as he looked at Jenny's eyes. "I want to say is that I…" he started and then moved away from her over to the balcony, "I can't do this," he said placing his hands on the railing of the balcony.

Jenny stood up and walked to Orin, "You like me don't you," she said leaning next to him. Orin looked at her, "Yes, but somehow deeper then that," he said standing up. Jenny wanted to have Orin to hold her again, so she wobbled her legs and soon fell; Orin caught her as she was falling backwards.

"Jena," he said looking at her and lifting her up again, "You're still weak from the trial you need to take it easy," he said worried. Jenny smiled at him, "I love it when you worry," she said leaning forward on the rails again. Orin realized that Jenny had faked the last fall to test him, "I will always be there to catch you," he said.

Jenny stood up, "I know, my Prince," she said and began to walk away. Orin followed her back into the bedroom. "Jena," he said quickly. Jenny turned, "Yes, Orion," she said. "Ah, never mind I will tell you later," he said. Jenny sat on the floor leaning against the frame board of the bed like she and Orin had did the other night, "Orion," she said but stopped for she sensed something or someone.

"What is it," he said sensing Jenny's sudden tone of voice, "Something is wrong, ah, ah," she screamed grabbing her side in pain. "Orion," she said, as he ran to her side to see what was wrong.

Jenny's eyes turned white as snow, "Orion, I can't see," she said. A sudden pain in her side sent shockwave through her. "AH," she screamed. Melissa ran into the room, "Jenny!" she yelled entering the room, "Fight them off now!"

Jenny showed fear in her face, "I can't they are, ah," she screamed, a sudden cut appeared on her back as if whipped by the air. "They are doing this to me," she said, "they know who I am, what I am," she said in another deep older voice.

"Let me go," yelled Jenny. Melissa and Orin watched as Jenny turned away from them and went to the corner wall, "Monster, all of them they want me dead, they know," she said, "AH," Jenny screamed.

Wind blew around the room hard as if some unnatural force was causing it, Jenny's eyes had changed again they were red and orange as fire flames. "Jenny!" yelled Sara running into the room, "Stop it now!" Jenny shook her head, "NO!" and cupped her hands, "I am the one who will end you," a fireball appeared in Jenny's hands and she means to throw it.

"Jena!" yelled Orin. "Fight him, now, it is the only way, you won't hurt us if you just fight, were your friends and family," yelled Melissa. Jenny begin to show signs of fighting in her face, and threw the fireball at the near by wall, knocking her to the ground.

"Jenny!" yelled Sara lifting up her niece who was just opening her eyes, "Aunt Sara, I beat him," she said breathing hard as if she had just run a race. "Jennifer will be fine, she has finished tonight's trial," he said stepping out of the shadowed corner.

Sara looked at Amenhotep, "I thought you said she was done," she snapped. Jenny sat up with what strength she had, "Aunt Sara, stay out of this," she said. Pharaoh Amenhotep walked over to Jenny placing his hand on her forehead, Jenny's eyes closed for a moment then her face relaxed and opened her eyes again. "There," he said leaving the room. Orin watched his father leave the room, Melissa was next to Sara, "Is she ok?" she asked.

Jenny sat up, "I am fine," she said leaning against the wall, "I am just tired." Sara looked at her niece, "Are you sure?" she asked. Jenny nodded, "Yeah go back to bed I am fine now," she said then looking at Orin, "I am ok," she said. Jenny stood up; Orin came to help her by taking her in his arms.

"Orion," she groaned as he took her in his arms. "I don't think I can keep going," she said in a tired voice once Melissa and Sara left the room. "Just hang on," he said walking her over to the bed, "I will look after you," he said laying Jenny down on it.

Jenny's eyes were still open looking at him, as he sat next to her. Jenny sat up, and moved some of the blonde hairs over his shoulder. "I almost did it," she said in a quiet voice. Orin looked at her, "What happened?" he asked.

Jenny took a long breath, "Your father took over me, he wanted me to throw that fireball at you," she said. Orin looked at her, "Why?" he asked. Jenny looked into Orin eyes, "Because, I care a lot about you, Orion, enough to die for you," she said. Orin's eyes opened wide, "You do," he said wondering. Jenny sighed, "I am sorry," she said looking down at the ground.

Orin placed his fingers under Jenny's chin and lifted her head, "No, don't be," he said in a strong quiet voice. Jenny looked into his eyes entrapped by them again; Orin moved in and gently kissed her on the lips. Jenny kissed him back as they both embraced, on the bed edge.

"Jena," he said touching her soft white face with his hand, looking in to her purple/blue eyes. Jenny took her hand and put it over his, she looked into his eyes, "Orion," she spoke. Orin pulled Jenny in to him for another kiss this time more passionate and loving then the first, which was gentle and unsure if she would return it.

Jenny let out a moan of pleasure; this was indeed her first real time she had ever kissed a man but not just any man but one she felt that she actually loved, and was now admitting it. Jenny and Orion started to kiss more hard and passionately as they were making out on the bed. Jenny pushed Orion away as his hands went down her back. Catching her breath, "Orion," Jenny said suddenly.

Orin moved some of Jenny's hair from her soft gentle face, "What is it?" he spoke as if worried that he may have offended her. Jenny stood up and walked over to the balcony the rays of the sun were raising, Jenny crossed her arms while looking over the city. Orin walked over to her placing his hand on her shoulders, "I am sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have done that," he said.

Jenny turned, "No, I had been waiting for you to kiss me since, I feel in love with you," she said. Orin moved to her side, "You love me? But how your family said you lost your heart three years ago," he asked. Jenny nodded; "I don't know if it is back but I do know this ever since, I…" she started and she was quickly interrupted by a gentle kiss from Orin.

"Orion," she moaned as he took her in his arms again. "I don't think I can keep going," she said in a tired voice. Orion held her up, "Just a cycle of Ra then the last trial, Jenny, please stay strong, just past this last test tonight and all the knowledge that you seek to fine the armors will be used and the city will be safe, keep fighting sleep and me," he said to her.

Jenny wrapped her arms around him, "You know Orion, I love you," she said in a tired voice not sure of what she was saying. Orion looked at her, "Jena," he said surprised to hear her say that. Jenny looked up at him, "Just take care of my family for me, I can't bear to see them unhappy for long," she whispered.

Orion stood Jenny up to face him, "You aren't going to die in that final trial, Jena," he said. Jenny shook her head, "But no one had filled this void, I feel, how am I to battle that? How can I battle with what isn't there," she said. Orion held Jenny in his arms mostly because of her exhaustion, "You will fill it, I won't let my father kill you in there," he said. Jenny closed her eyes; 'He did not say it back' she thought 'he does not love me in return let the trial of heart come and take me away.'

Jenny felt the void in her heart begin to empty, it was full from the kiss and Orion's presence around her, but since she confessed she loved him, he didn't return it and the void grew suddenly, instead of filling. Jenny and Orin stood there in the sunlight for a while clinging to each other for hope.

"Jena, I won't let him hurt you anymore," he said moving his hand over Jenny's wounds that were now gone. Jenny looked up at him, "Orion, please promise to be with me at the end," she said. Orin knew that he could not go in to the Star Wheel trials with her but he could be in spirit or in mind, "Yes, Jena," he said holding Jenny tighter as if it would be the last time he would ever hold her.

Oh, do not you love cliffy? HEHEHEHEHE More next chapter however that will be up Friday , I cannot believe how many lemons I have written for this story too, but those aren't for quite some times I been getting a head in editing again (cough16cough) there are a few lime and lemon, don't worry warning will be posted above them when they get here.

Now to my favorite reviewers:

Darkstar: Well as you can see I uploaded two chapters YAY, anyways, I think you can guess that no, Orin did not close his eyes or else I do not think he would have kissed Jenny, however I don't think it will matter until much later. Lol, anyways thanks for the review and as for what I said about the matter of the heart in my review to you, is I am breaking up with my boyfriend I guess it's for the better right now, because I feel my guy is holding me back.

Twilight Memories: well you have good reason for not liking Amenhotep, just to give you a hint he isn't nice and you will fine out why later it has to do with Jenny's past form's sister. Which might be a little confusing because of how I wrote it, but that's not for a few more chapters like 5 and we have very long way to go. And thanks for the shout out to get more to review but then again it is a long story being in four parts so I don't blame anyone. More has been given in chapter hope you like.
