Binding Love

Chapter One

Running. That's all that went through Melody's mind when she was being taken to Egypt. She thought about running away from this mad man, running from the world, running from what she could see. But right now, she couldnt. Not now. She was trapped on a horse, taken to her home land: Egypt.

Sitting on thehorse, a man said to her, "When we meet the Pharaoh, dont say a word. If you do, I'llkill you on the spot. Understand?" He held onto the reins tightly, makingsure hewas perfectly clear on the subject. Melody only looked away towards the sand, her brown hair blowingin the breeze. Her cerulean eyeslooked at the man,hatred in them. She hated this man. She hated the country from which she came from. And, she hated the thought of becoming an old Pharaoh's gift. She looked away, thinking, Why me? Why do I of all people have to be given to the Pharaoh?

She was stopped at mid thought when the horse stopped. Melody looked up. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw the Pharaoh's palace. A guard dragged her off and pushed her threatengly, saying, "Remember, dont say anything, or else..." He looked at the head archer. Melody swallowed hard and continued towards the palace, fear in her heart.

Sitting on his throne, bored out of his mind, was Atem. He sat there, trying not to yawn in front of the entertainers that we trying desperatly to cheer him up. But, sadly, nothing worked. Leaning back in his chair, the milticolored haired man blew a blonde bang out of his eyes, thinking, Ugh... why me? Why am i always the one to be tortured mentally and be forced to sit here? This sucks... He sat up when the entertainers walked away. Puzzled, he looked around, and sighed. Great. Someone from another country came to give him something. O joy.

Seth walked into the room, pushing the golden doors open, holding his Millenium Rod. He looked at Atem and said, "My Pharaoh, i present Alexander of Rome." Atem nodded, letting the man enter. Seth sighed and opened the doors. In walked a heavy set man, most likely in his late thirties. He had on a robe that showed his fat stomach, and on his head was a leaf crown. His messy blond hair was was full of dirt from the journey, and he had brown eyes that had fear of the Pharaoh in them.

Alexander gaped at the young man who was on the throne. He had pictured Atem to be like himself, old and heavy. Atem was the exact opposite. He was a young man, 19 to be exact. He was buff, handsome, and had the most intense eyes Alex had ever seen. His eyes were a maroon color, and his hair was outstanding. It was in spikes, and the colors were black, red, and blonde. Atem had tanned skin from being in the sun, and his outfit showed his muscles.

Alexander cleared his throatand said, "My Pharaoh, I bring you a gift from my land to show my appretiation towards you. I hope that Rome and Egypt can be allies from now on..." he looked up and saw the bordness in Atem's eyes. Atem waved his hand, as if saying, Show me the damn thing. Alexander nodded, and said to his guards, "Bring her in!"

Atem's head shot up when he heard the word, 'Her'. He was expecting gold, not a woman. He never received a woman before. He always watched his father, and would think, I wonder what they do with the woman... Atem ahd found out, but he never in his wildest dreams would picture him to recieve a woman. His eyes lingered to the door, hoping he would catch a glimpse of her.

Alexander saw the Pharaoh's intrest, and he waved to the man holding Melody. The man brought her in, and Atem gasped when he saw her. She was beautiful. From head to toe, he could see that Melody was truley a beautiful young woman. She was his age, he could see. She had brown hair that hung in the middle of her back, neatly cut with no dead ends. She had the most stunning blue eyes he had ever seen. Her body was marvelous. She had the perfect weight, her legs long and slender. She wore a gold dress that went to her ankles, and it split at her stomach, showing her belly. She wore gold sandles as well. Atem looked closer at her face and saw that she was crying. She had scratches in her face and her hands, making him guess they were on her arms. She looked away from his gaze.

Outraged, Atem looked at Alexander and asked, "What did you do to her?" Melody's watery eyes widened. She looked at him, shocked that the great almightly Pharaoh cared about what happened to her. She looked at the young man standing there, thinking, How... how could he, the almighty Pharaoh, care about a woman like me? She looked at him in wonder.

Alexander smirked and said, "Well, she was a bad girl. She didnt want to be captured. But, that's her own fault, isnt it?" Atem's eyes opened wide with rage when he heard the word, 'captured'.

He looked at Alexander and said, "What did she do to deservebeing captured?" he clenched his fists in rage.

Alexander looked at him in shock and said, "Well, she stole some fruit-" He was stopped when Atem banged his fist down on the gold throne. He stood up and walked towards Alexander.

"She stole a peice of fruit? THATS IT?" his puzzle glowed angreily. Melody's gaze widened when she saw that. Her eyes turned white, and in her mind a visioin came.

Atem was holding her limp body, saying, "I'll never let anyone hurt you again..." He walked towards a water fountain and layed her there. Her dress was ripped, and she had cuts on her body. Atem looked at her body and said, "You're so beautiful... but... there's something more about you that amazes me..." He winced in pain at the cut on his arm. It had stopped bleeding, but it still hurt nontheless. His hand reached down towards Melody's face, touching her cheek tenderly. He ran his hand over her face, blushing. Without knowing, his face inched closer to hers. He could feel her faint breath on his face. Finally realizing what he was doing, he blushed, but still inched closer. Finally, his lips were an inch away from hers. He reached down and-

Melody's vision ended there. She looked at Atem in wonder, thinking, What was that about? She looked at Atem and saw him walking towards Alex again. His puzzle had stopped, but he was still in a rage. Alexander had stepped back in fear.

Atem looked at him and said, "She doesnt deserve to be beaten! She deserves to be free! Out in the open!" Melody looked at him and blushed slightly. Atem looked at Alex and continued. "I'm taking her and treating her as a special guest. She is not a present. I dont know what my father, or anyone in that matter, would think when they take a woman and call her a present! Now, leave me, before i get even angrier!"

Alex smirked and snapped his fingers. Melody's eyes opened wide. "Pharaoh, look out!" She screamed. Atem looked at her and saw fear and concern in her eyes. He Romen guards around the palace, bow and arrow at hand. Atem swallowed hard. Melody looked at him in fear, saying, "Pharaoh, dont think of my saftey! PLease, run, run now, or else they'll kill us both!" Atem looked at her in amazement.

Alexander smirked and said, "Apologize, or else you die." Atem looked at him, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

Atem smirked and said, "Never." Alexander smiled and snapped his fingers twice. One archer, his best, came out, readying his bow and arrow. Melody shook her head and said as the arrow was shot through tears, "NO! PHARAOH!" Atem looked at her and screamed in pain. The arrow shot at his shoulder, barely missing his heart.
