Wow I survived yet another hurricane.:)

Terrified. That was the only way to describe how Alisa felt at the moment. After being bathed and scrubbed down by several ladies in waiting, (she was horrified, but they only giggled at her unease) then having had her whole body shaved by the harem keeper, she had been robed in a simple yet revealing linen outfit. Yeah, her whole body, meaning if it wasn't her eyebrows or head hair (she wasn't important enough for a wig) it was gone.

Now she was waiting in the Pharaoh Atemu's chambers, too scared to enjoy the softness of the bed. She knew the Pharaoh would easily over power her- she should have taken up Bekhura's offer to teach her how to defend herself. She should have not gone outside yesterday. She should have... There was so many should haves, if only she would have...

The door creaked open, making Alisa's head snap toward the sound.

"Greetings," Atemu said, totally shocking Alisa. She had expected something more coarse, more regal, more something.... from him.

Alisa said nothing in reply, only narrowed her eyes at her now master.

Atemu's friendly demeanor dropped faster than a shooting star. "You will speak when spoken to."

"Hello," Alisa shot back sarcastically.

"You do know I could have you shipped and hanged for that insolent tone?"

Alisa nodded sharply, not wanting the said beating.

Atemu sat down right next to Alisa causing her to scoot a few inches away from him. His friendly demeanor reappeared when he next spoke. "So where were you finally captured? I've been told my priests have been searching for you for six months with no results and suddenly you appear. You have sparked my interest."

"If you must know," Alisa began, scooting back again as Atemu moved closer. "I was captured in the village outside the ruins of Kura Enura. I am not sure of it's name..." Atemu slid closer to Alisa again. She tried to move away but found her back to the wall. Unconsciously, she slouched down a bit. Atemu smirked when he saw this.

So he likes girls submissive then? I'll just play the part until it's the right time...

Now laying down huddled against the wall, Alisa decided to take drastic measures. She didn't care it was the Pharaoh, that she could be beaten, whipped, and killed or that she was about to do was defiling a deity.

Alisa kneed Atemu in the crotch. HARD.

Atemu fell over sideways on his huge bed, clutching himself. Strange, feral noises escaped his throat. Alisa made a break for the huge door. Attempting to pull it open, she found it locked from the outside, but that didn't deter Alisa from alternately beating on and trying to pull open the door.

"Y-you," Atemu hissed icily, glaring at Alisa. She suddenly felt very trapped in the huge marble room. Briefly she thought of making an exit by jumping off the balcony. Her eyes must have darted to the said object because Atemu spoke.

"Don't even thing it. My room is on the fifth floor. One jump and Anubis will take you."

Alisa quickly decided that dying right after you knee a deity was the not best idea.

"Come." Reluctantly, Alisa walked over to the bed, but refused to touch it. "You will sleep on the floor. Do not even think of going through those doors. The guards will not open them a crack until I call for my morning meal," Atemu stated smugly. "Now lie down and sleep.

Alisa lied down on the cold marble, hating it will all her being. Cold, uncomfortable, a bitt smelly from all the feet walking over it... the list of despicable qualities of the marble floor went on and on. Oh, how she missed her plush bed at home or even her straw mat at Bekhura's.

Oh Bekhura. When will I see you again? You and Harry, how I miss you so. I pray that Ra will let our paths cross again one day. Alisa thought starting to cry. She tried to muffle the noise, not wanting to anger the Pharaoh even more.

"Quite sniveling," Atemu snapped from his place on the nice, comfy bed.

That was the last straw- it was all Alisa could take. She broke down completely at the unfairness of it all. A princess on a hard floor. Atemu listened to Alisa for several minutes before he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Fine, get up here!"

Alisa hesitated.

"No I'm not going to do anything," Atemu snapped. Not that I could anyway...

Alisa, sniffing, climbed onto the plush bed and settled in the mattress in the far corner from Atemu, about seven feet away. He roller his eyes and grabber her, pulling her into a spooning position. Alisa stiffened for a moment but relaxed a tiny bit when she was assured Atemu wasn't going to try any moves. Thinking the Pharaoh may have a soft side after all, Alisa snuggled deeper into her pillow.

As if reading her mind, Atemu spoke sharply. "I didn't want your noise from your lying on the floor. It makes it difficult to sleep. Plus you are very soft..."

Carly, Hannah and I are writing a story about a guy being turned into a girl (which will eventually be posted when it's finished, as work on it is so sporadic) so if you have any funny ideas that relate to that, I would be oh so grateful to hear them.

Anyways, onto

REVIEW REPLIES!

Elusia-Wow your review is so flattering in such an intellectual way. Thanks a bunch! It makes me want to write so much faster. I'm glad that you think that it has potential and hope that it lives up to expectations.

yamijennimoto-Yeah titles are the hardest things to think of, especially when you aren't even sure where the story is going to head... Atemu is supposed to be the mean one. The "bad guy" or "villain" if you will.

camarao- Awesome. I'm glad that you also like this story.

Cassandra Pegasus- Haha. My "historical basis" is one book that I've read on ancient Egypt and I've already started to forget most of the facts from it:-D I hope you had fun in LA, my auntie lives out there. That would be funny if you two met up:)

setosangel529- Wow I'm somebody's favorite author!!w00t!! And 8th grade rocks. That was like my favorite school year so far.

SarnaKiro- Awesome. I'm glad you like the title. Hehehe A Link to the Past was a story I once read and it is very good, except that the author never updates... yeah if you like Zelda: the Ocarina of Time you should read it.

Solo-girl- His plan? He has one? I was thinking that he was more going by animal instinct than anything else. And yes when Atemu does find out, that is going to be a funny scene.
