Chapter 16
Kiss and Make up already
A few weeks pasted Jenny tried her very best to keep her distance from Orin, it still hurt her to talk or see him, even with only one eye. Jenny avoided breakfast, lunch but could not get out of dinner, so she waited until Orin had seated himself at the table and was almost finished before she took her place. Malachite was sitting in her spot each time she arrived; she would take a seat at the end of the table with Troy and Mai. Orin would look down the table to see Jenny, but she would quickly duck behind Troy or Mai to keep Orin from seeing her.
Andy would kick his sister in the shin every time she would jump out of sight as Orin passed them in the halls. Orin would see Jenny from a distance but never see her face; he figured it was because of her eye bruised.
Melissa had arranged to have Jenny stay in her room, and Orin would find himself with his door open and him in the doorway waiting for Jenny to come out of the room. He would see the door open then suddenly close, Jenny could tell when he was watching the door every time she opened it. Melissa would come down the hall and see Orin in his doorway looking at her bedroom door, she would enter and Jenny would be a complete wreck on the bed crying her good eye out.
Orin, would go in to his room finally and look up at the ceiling, he kept pondering what Seto had said to him about-facing the past. Orin could face the fact that the love of his life was gone, and Jenny was her replacement in his heart. Orin closed his eyes and tried to remember that first night with Jenny that he ever had when she was going through the Star Wheel Trials, but the one night, which Jena killed herself, would enter his mind and he would be forced to think of something else.
Pharaoh Amenhotep was very disappointed in both Jenny and Orin for their childish ways, but after much debate with Seto, Alec, Sara, and Melissa, he decided that the two needed some time apart. He would make sure Jenny was present at important meeting but made sure his son was a good distance from her.
In the council chambers, Jenny would sit with her mother and father, at the end of the table. Orin would be next Amenhotep, and Jenna, who was missing Jenny, very much for the little girl loved hanging around her. Jenny would give locations of Armors for the army but never for the Pharaoh's generals would she always say, "They're not ready for that kind of power," or "it can't be controlled yet," the comments were starting to sound like she was saving them for some one or something.
Amenhotep was in the council chambers, he had told Jenny to meet him there at an early time, for he wished to speak with her alone without interruption of her family or friends. Jenny feared this; she could tell Orin was going to be the subject or the fact the Pharaoh was tired of her hiding the lost armors.
Jenny sat in the chambers before sunrise and fingered a small dagger in her hand that she had made ever since she found out whom Malachite was, and what he did. "Good morning Jennifer," spoke the Pharaoh as he entered the room. Jenny sat up she was in Orin chair and stood up to greet the Pharaoh, "Good morning my Pharaoh," she spoke in a quiet tone.
Amenhotep walked over to Jenny, "We need to talk about a few things before the council gathers this afternoon," he spoke. Jenny sighed, "About what?" she asked, in a calm tone for she was glad that Orin was not the main subject.
"Jennifer, I want you to tell me the truth, why don't my generals have their armors yet?" he asked. Jenny moved to the other end of the long table, "I am not giving them the armors that they will be using yet, until they have proved they are loyal to you and only you, to follow you to the ends of the earth. Because I see right now they are dark," she snapped, "and then I will give it to them once they prove themselves."
Amenhotep crossed his arms, "Why do you think they will not be loyal to me?" asked the Pharaoh. Jenny looked up at his her good eye was looking at him while her bad eye almost fully healed now, but she kept it closed, "I think they are moles, for our enemy," she said.
Amenhotep shook his head, "Your speaking nonsense," he said, "I trained my men, I trust them as if there were family." Jenny glared at him, "Then you are a fool, Amenhotep, I can see it in their hearts, the second I hand them the armors they will kill you, or worse take them to the other side," she said, "I don't trust anyone you consider family that is outside the royal blood line," she snapped.
"You still trust my son then," he said, surprising Jenny, this was part of his plan to talk to her about Orin, start with official business then bring up his son, some how. Jenny turned and looked at the ground, "I don't trust him, he isn't your blood son," she said. Amenhotep walked over to her, "I didn't hear you," he spoke.
Jenny sighed, "I don't trust him, he is your step son, he is outside the blood line," she snapped. Amenhotep smirked he could see Jenny was lying to herself she did trust Orin with her whole heart but her mind was saying the opposite.
"You know it is a crime to lie to me, Jennifer," he said, to her taking her hand. Jenny looked at the Pharaoh, "and you know it is against the law to go in to a person's mind with out due cause," she shoot at him. Amenhotep nodded, "I do, I want to know if you love my son or if you were just toying with his heart strings?" he asked.
Jenny wanted to say no, but her body and heart said yes, "I umm," she muttered, breathing hard, "I can't answer that, right now," she said putting the dagger in the sheath at her ankle. Amenhotep smiled, "Then I order you to go to him," he said to her. Jenny looked at Amenhotep, "What?" she said questioning his request.
"You heard me, as the Seer, you are also bound to serve the Pharaoh, and I am ordering you to go to my son and tell him you don't love him anymore," he said. Jenny's face went into shock, she did not want to do it, she felt her heartbeat grow, her breath shorten, "Please Amenhotep, ask me anything but this," she started to cry.
Amenhotep lifted Jenny's hand in his, "Jennifer, then I order you to go to him and show him you love him or you tell him you don't either way I want this problem between you too, solved now," he said. Jenny shook her head, as she pulled her bandaged right hand away, "I can't Amenhotep, it hurt too much, please I ask you order me to do something else, I will even give up the armors that I been hiding but don't make me do this," she begged.
Amenhotep stood up, "Seer of the Pharaoh, are you disobeying me?" he said in a booming tone, ignoring the plea. Jenny shook her head, and stood up, "No, my Pharaoh I will go to your son and tell him as you requested," she said knowing how much it hurt to say it. Amenhotep touched her face, "Jennifer, I am doing this for my son and you now go and I don't want to see you, until this matter is resolved, do I make myself clear," he said in a stern tone of voice. Jenny closed her eyes as his hand left her face, "Yes my Pharaoh," she said and left the room for he dismissed her with those words.
"You know that was a little harsh," said a male voice at the entrance of the council chambers from the throne room. Amenhotep looked up at the man that stood in the doorway, "Seto, as your wife and sister in law requested, they want this issue of Jennifer, solved as much as you do, but this must be done. I have given both my son and your daughter more then enough time and chances to make up, a few weeks to be exact and we are running out of time," said Amenhotep.
Seto stepped out of the shadows as another figure stepped in, "Amenhotep is she going to tell him," said Melissa standing next to Seto. The Pharaoh nodded, "Yes, and maybe something more, but for now let us get some rest it is late and the sun will not raise for some time," he said then in a quiet voice then with a small smile, "neither will those two."
Melissa looked at her Uncle then at the Pharaoh, "I am going to bed, good night Pharaoh Amenhotep and Uncle Seto," as she left the room. Seto looked at the Pharaoh, "You know we could have just locked them in Orin's room, and throw the key into the Nile," he joked. Amenhotep chuckled, "You're sounding like Pharaoh Seth," he said. Seto smirked, "I know, he is me after all like my daughter is Jena," he said. Amenhotep sighed, "I hope your sister in law was right about her, being the lost soul of Jena or else we are going to hear the loudest argument of all Egypt."
Back in the hallway of the royal family, Malachite, and Melissa's room, Jenny moved quietly over to Melissa's door, she knew Orin was asleep she did not want to wake him she would deal with him in the morning and end the matter then, however it was early morning. Jenny opened the door to Melissa's room, she saw a figure on the bed and at first, and she thought it was Melissa but soon saw it was someone else.
"Hello Jennifer," spoke a little voice. Jenny smiled, "Jenna, what are you doing up," she said entering the room and sitting next to the little girl. "I must ask you to speak with my brother, please Jennifer, he hasn't slept in weeks he is losing his soul, over this, he misses you," she begged.
Jenny moved the little 10 year old look alike of herself to her lap, "I can't he doesn't want me, he wants Jena back and I am not her," she said. Jenna shook her head, "But you are Jena, I know you are you have her soul," she said. Jenny closed her eyes, "No I am not," she said thinking about it.
"Why would you think different?" asked the girl. Jenny did not know, she just knew, that it was Jena that Orin wanted not her. "Go to my brother and if you need any proof that you are her look in your heart for when you felt the void open and empty in your heart again, my brother filled for you, before he can do it again," said Jenna.
Jenny thought for a long time in her mind she looked for when she first started to feel the void inside her open for the first time. Jenny remembered it was just after she was 13 she began to rebel against life. Her clothes were getting darker, her hair changing colors continuously, her attitude towards her family and how she felt she didn't fit anywhere, the dream of a singer, and how she had gotten distance her best friend was her cousin Melissa, the nightmares, why would she not be, and then she remembered something that she felt at the trials.
Orin had saved her in the test of heart; the only way to past that test was someone willing to die for you because that person loves you with all they had. Jenny remembered Orin sweet kisses on her forehead as he pulled her close to him that night so long ago now. Jenny felt something jolt in side her body, a vision appeared in her mind.
"Jenny," said a voice, Jenny looked around and found herself in a room filled with light; "Where am I?" she asked. A woman her age appeared, "Hello Jenny," she said in a clam voice. Jenny's jaw dropped, "Jena," she spoke.
The woman nodded, "So thanks to my sister you and I can now talk. I have been sending you the visions because you are I. I figured that you would find out for yourself but some how that message was lost in the trials to Orion. Please would you go to him, and tell him how you truly feel. I know he loves you and not me for he would have pushed to have take the trials instead of sleep with him, he was young a foolish then, but because of you he is a man again." Jenny shook her head, "But he wants you," she said. Jena took Jenny's hand, "Come with me to his room," she said. Jenny looked at Jena, and followed.
In the real world, Jenny was holding Jenna's hand as she was holding Jena in Jenny's mind to see mentally. Jenny and Jenna walked in to Orin's room; he was asleep and did not hear them.
Jenny's mind she saw him sleeping in his bed, her heart melted as she saw the small cuts that Orin had kept reopening so that it would remind him of their fight remind him of what he had lost. "Oh Orin," she whispered. Jena pulled Jenny over to Orin as he lay asleep but an uneasy one at that, "See his mind," she said. Jenny closed her eyes and focused, and saw into Orin's mind.
He stood on a balcony, the people-cheering smiles on their faces as the war was over. Orin quieted the crowd with his hands, "My people this war of the Monster Armors of Shadows is over, now let us rebuild and begin again under my ruler ship," he said, "I now as your Pharaoh present your queen," Orin turned and waved his hands for someone to come forward.
Jenny went bugged eyed when she saw it was herself, "Your new Queen Jennifer Kaiba," he announced. The crowd of below them cheered, fireworks went off, and people in clad armors flew through the sky.
"This is all yours now!" he said to her looking into her blue/purple eyes. Jenny took a breath, "so now what I do?" she asked with a giggle. Orin smirked, "I know what to do, you just need to play along," he said. Jenny looked at him, "how?" Jenny's question was answered with a very large and passionate kiss from Orin.
The Jenny in the real world was watching this in her mind; she could feel Orin reaching out for her in the dream world to come back to him.
Jenny opened her eyes in the dream, "I love you," he said playing with Jenny's hair in his hands in the dream.
Jenny in the real world opened her eyes and saw Jena standing next to her, "He wants you," she whispered. Jenny felt loneliness creep back into her; she looked at Orin's face it seemed to be happy and content.
Jenny looked to see where Jena was but found that she was back in the Melissa's room and Jenna was gone.
Jenny was sitting at the edge of the bed and quickly ran to her door, she opened it to see Orin's door in front of her. It took all the courage she had to barge in, making a loud slam. Orin shot up, "WHO'S THERE, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU FOR MESSING UP MY DREAM!" he yelled. "You won't want to kill the girl of you dreams now would you?" smirked Jenny in a harsh tone.
Orin put his knife away, "Jennifer!" he said in shock and anger, "What is the meaning of this?" he snapped. Jenny walked down to Orin on the bed, "I am here to tell you something, I should have said it weeks ago, but I didn't want too because I…" Orin staring at her bad eye stopped Jenny.
"What happened to your eye?" he asked Jenny looking at the small buries around it. Jenny turned quickly she forgot completely about it.
Orin's hands touched her shoulder, "You did that too yourself didn't you?" he asked. Jenny turned around and saw that Orin was still in his day attire he had not gone to bed in the nude, which was more comfortable not to mention it was his habit of doing away with his clothes.
"Yes, the day I…" she paused as looked at the small cuts that were just little scares on Orin's face. "I am here to say that I am…" Orin interrupted Jenny with a long passionate kiss; she closed her eyes as he was apologizing for not telling her he loved her sooner.
"I love you Jennifer," he said quickly holding her head in with his hands. Jenny looked in to Orin's loving eyes he wanted her back. "I am sorry, I am so sorry Orin," she said starting to cry. Orin put his hand on her face, "No, I should be the one to say that, I didn't realize how much I loved you until you walked away from me," he said. Jenny could not fight it any more, "I am sorry I slapped you," she said, "and scratched your face."
Orin smiled, "what these," he said pointing to his face, "Nah, I have had worse done to me." Jenny smiled at him, "I don't want to ever see you frown again, you got that," said Orin, "and if I, even think of touching another woman let me be hanged until I die," he joked. Jenny's eyes widened, "No, don't you do that, then I would have to do the same, you're my Prince," she said.
Orin looked at Jenny, "And you're my Princess, and love of my life," he said. Jenny smiled again, "Orin there is something I want to tell you, umm, Jena is alive," she said. Orin's eye widened "What how?" he said shocked. Jenny looked down at the ground, "Jena is me, you were right," she said.
Orin looked at Jenny's eyes, "Prove it Jennifer," he said. Jenny closed her eyes, "this might hurt, because I need to show you painful memories," she warned him. Orin shook his head, "What ever it takes Jennifer," he said. Jenny held Orin head and kissed him as hard as she could; she felt something take completely over her body.
Orin looked at Jenny but it was not her anymore "Jena!" he said in shock, "Your," he said. Jenny appeared next to Jena, "Hello Orion" spoke Jena, "I can't stay long, but I wanted to say hello properly this time," she said. Orin was in surprise, "So you're in Jenny's body, after all," he said after a few moments.
Jenny and Jena nodded, "I am Jenny, well at least her past form, you were to be given a second chance, Orion don't waste it away because I took my own life," she said to him. Orin did not know what to do anymore, "Take care of Jenny for me," she said and the dream ended.
Orin opened his eyes just in time to see Jenny begin to collapse on the floor; he jumped off the bed and caught her. "Jennifer?" he said, Jenny groaned and opened her eyes "did you see her?" she asked. Orin nodded, "thank you," he said taking Jenny into his arms, "Jennifer, I want to do something for me?" he asked.
Jenny looked at him, "Yes?" she asked. Orin smiled, "Call me Orion again please." Jenny was surprise, she did not call him by his nickname in the dream nor since she walked in to the room, "Just say it again I need you to say my name," he said. Jenny looked at him, "I haven't called you it in weeks," she said.
"Oh you did, in the dream you just made for me, you called me Orion, but I want to hear it from your own lips this time," he said. Jenny smiled, Orion had seen through her dream, it was real to her, but to him it was a mind fantasy for this Jenny was his now.
Orin helped Jenny off the ground; she began to wobble as if her legs could not take the weight. Orin pulled her close to him, Jenny looked up at Orin, "thanks," she said as she tried to keep her balance. Orin smiled, and moved some of Jenny's lose bangs from her face, "You need some rest that dream you sent me was good, but I think you been straining your mind a little much lately," he said. Jenny closed her eyes as Orin pressed his lip to hers.
Moments later Orin and Jenny were on the bed, feverously kissing each other. "Jennifer, please say it," spoke Orin once he realized that he was making out with Jenny again. Jenny looked at him, "As I said in our argument I would never call you that name again," she said.
Orin looked at Jenny as she moved off him and headed for the door, "Jenny!" he said perfectly. Jenny stopped dead in her tracks Orin had said her name in her tongue perfectly without mistake, in a way it made her want to squeal. "Don't go, my Princess," he said. Jenny turned around, "Did you just call my name?" she asked puzzled and shocked. Orin smirked, "I guess it finally came out right this time. Even though when I went to save you at the trials I said it," he admitted, "You just didn't hear me."
Jenny looked at him, "You been working on it all this time?" she asked. Orin nodded, "Since you told me to call you Jena, that day a few months ago, and after you hit me, and avoided me," he said. Jenny's face went to complete frown, "I am sorry, I did that to you," she said and was about 2inches from the handle when Orin spun her around, "You're not going anywhere Jenny Kisara Kaiba," he said the words just rolled off his tongue like wind.
Jenny was shocked that he said her full name this time with complete and utter accuracy. "I love you, isn't that enough?" he asked her. Jenny shook her head, "Yes, it is enough, just that," she looked at her right hand and pulled off the bandages that she wrapped herself, "I can't say your true name, because," she said "I cut up my hand for hitting you." Orin placed a stone, in Jenny's hand, that was injured, and healed the wounds she had made, when he removed it, there were a few scars but not noticeable. Orin realized he could heal wounds with a small stone that he kept in his sash that he wore that he got from Atem at the trials. "Thanks," said Jenny holding her hand that was healed.
Orin smiled putting the stone away, "You should know something, according to your older sister and the research she did my true name before Amenhotep adopted me was Markus, but please call me, Orion," he said. Jenny smiled, "Then I will call you Orion when we are alone, I don't want to change anything right now," she said. Orin smiled, "I will call you Jenny, all the time," he said. Jenny hugged Orin around the neck and slowly on his left side of it, and she started kissing his jaw line.
"Orion," she said pulling back while running her fingers through his long blonde hair. Orion smiled at his little Princess, "Stay with me, Jenny," he spoke. Jenny nodded, "I will," she said. Orion pulled Jenny close to him, she seemed to be enjoying the fact that they made up also the scars from her dagger that she had etched in her hand were beginning to fade away and Jenny's hand felt like it was under a cold stream of water.
"I love you Orion," she spoke touching his face, "Orion, I love you," she finally got out. Orion smiled, "Come on now lets get you to bed," he said. Jenny smiled, "we just made up and now you want to have, make-up sex, I should have known there was a catch," she laughed. Orion nodded, "Yeah," he said in a sarcastic tone.
Jenny crossed her arms, "I agreed to stay, doesn't mean you get to tap my ass," she said finally crossing her arms. Orion's face became one of disappointment, "Why do I have to earn that one back too?" he asked. Jenny shook her head, "I know our fight was about it, but I would really like if we could wait a while, you know something to look forward too in the future, after the war maybe," she spoke as if she was not going to leave him again.
"Jenny, your talking like we're going to make it through this war, my father can't see the end and neither can you," he spoke. Jenny shook her head, "I just know at the end I will have you as my Pharaoh, and lover," she said.
Orion walked over to the bed, "Alright, I won't let your request go unfulfilled," he said. Jenny was surprise that he accepted her request, "But," he said, "My birthday is coming up, I would like it if you and I could that night as my birthday present," he stopped as Jenny sat next to him. "On that day it will be an exception, but only that day," she said. Orion kissed Jenny on her sweet lips.
Orion and Jenny made out on the bed for a while and the two then curled up and went to sleep. Jenny didn't have another nightmare, she saw a future in her dream that night, the one of Orion standing among the people, and her being introduced as the new Queen.
Over in Jenny's old room Malachite watched the two lovers from his baloney, "well Orin, you have a little cherry again, this time I will make sure to rape then kill her," he muttered. "Malachite!" said a tired voice behind him Malachite turned, "Yes Saran, my love," he said coldly.
"You will not touch Jennifer Kaiba or any other member of her family, I need them all alive, for now that's until they release the secret armors, we need the power of the Seer," she said. Malachite rolled his eyes, "I wonder why in the world I brought you back from the dead," he said.
Saran stood up and walked over to him from the bed, "You wanted a woman and here I am," she said, taking Malachite's hand and placing in oh her naked body.
Malachite felt an erection come on, "Saran, don't tempt me," he said, "I can't have you until I see that little abomination of ours suffer," he said looking over at Orin's room where the prince and Jenny were now sleeping.
Saran laughed, "Our son, has suffered or haven't you noticed that Jenny had been keeping her distance from him for a few weeks, don't worry your time to make that boy of yours miserable, and it will come and you will be Pharaoh in the end of this war remember that," she said. Malachite took Saran in his arms, "You better be right or else it is back to the depths from once you came," he said.
Saran smiled, and wrapped her long white legs around Malachite, "I know you want me, to stay or else it wouldn't be any fun," she said in a seductive tone. Malachite took Saran that night they molded in to one.
Hmm, there is something to think about and all questions will be answered in on Friday when I have time to put up another chapter this is the last one for today.
