Chapter 10: Revaling the Truth

Night turned into day, and Melody awaoke to the sound of birds chiping at her window. She opened her tired eyes and sat up, yawning. She gasped as she felt someting on her lap, and when she looked down, she blushed. Atem was sleeping on her lap, protecting her. She smiled and slipped out of the bed. She took a bath and changed into a white dress with red trimming on the edges of it.It spilt at the stomach. She wore white sandles on her feet, and her hair was down. She stepped out of the bathroom and saw Atem was on her windowsill, looking at the view. She smiled and walked up to him, saying, "Pharaoh...?"

Atem looked at her and said, "Miss Melody." He smiled and said, "How are you feeling?"

Melody smiled at him and said, "I'm fine now. You?"

Atem sighed and said, "I'm ok." He looked at her and said, "I have something to attend to this morning. At noon, would you meet me in the garden?" Melody nodded and bowed slightly. Atem smiled and said, "You dont have to be so formal, you know." Melody giggled and nodded in understandment. Atem stood up and walked to her. He stroked a hair from her face and said, "See you later."

Melody nodded and blushed softly, saying, "Yes..." She looked into his eyes, wanting to stare into them forever. Atem walked away, though, and when he closed the door shut, Melody fell on her knees, crying in sadness. In the garden, she would tell him everything.Her vision would come true today.

Atem sighed in boredom as he waited for Isis to come back. He had asked for her to get him something, and she was taking so long to get it. He was being forced to watch some Egyptian entertainers. Woop de dittely do.

He finally perked up whenIsis came into theroom, holding a boxin her hand. Shebowed and said, "I have gotten what you asked for, my Pharaoh." Atem nodded.Isis handed him the box, saying, "It's the most precious stone Icould find, Pharaoh. I am sure Miss Melody would like it."

Atem opened the box and smiled.In it was a golden ring with the lightest bluesapphirehe had ever seen. It was the same color of Melody's eyes. He turned it around and looked at the band. It was pure gold. He smiled and said, "Thank you Isis." Isis nodded and left the room. Atem looked outside and said, "It's time." He took the box with him and left the room, heading for the garden.

Melody sat in the fountain, braiding her hair, bored out of her mind. She had been waiting for 15 minutes for Atem, and he hadnt showed. She sighed and stood up. She walked around the fountain, stroking the water with her fingers. She saw her reflection in the water, and saw Atem walk up behind her. She saw him stand next to her at the fountain, the Millennium Puzzle shining in the water. She smiled and said, "Hello, Pharaoh."

Atem nodded and said, "Hello." He sighed and sat o nthe fountain's edge. Melody blushed and sat next to him. Atem looked at her free hand, hesitated, and put his hand on top of hers. He squeezed it, and said, "You alright?" Melody nodded and squeezed his hand, blushing.

Melody smiled and said, "Are you, Pharaoh?" Atem nodded.

"Miss Melody?" He asked, moving closer to her.

Shesmiledand said, "Yes, Pharaoh?"

Atem used his free hand to stroke a strand of hair from her face and said, "I want you to call me by my name." Melody blushed a pretty shade of pink. Atem stroked her cheek and said, "Call me Atem, Miss Melody, and I'll call you by your name, Melody." Melody nodded and put her head on top of his chest. Atem stroked her hair, smelling it. It smelled of sweet roses, and he finally said, "Melody...?"

Melody looked at him and said, "Yes, Pha- I mean Atem?"

Atem smiled and said, "I've wanted to tell you something for a long time now. I never had the courage." Melody nodded. Atem let her go and stood up. He looked down at her and said, "But, when I carried you out of that cave and into the palace, I realized something. Looking down at you're beautiful face..." He stroked it gently, sending chills of pleasure down Melody's spine, "... I have realized that I truley do care about you more than a friend." Melody blushed and nodded.

Melody finally stood up and turned her back at Atem. She turned her head at Atem and smiled weakly. Atem looked at her and stood up, saying, "What's wrong?"

Melody looked away and said, "Atem... if you truley care about me this way, then I shouldn't hide anything from you. So..." She looked at him and said, "I've been hiding something from you for a long time. I'm sorry I never told you about it."

Atem looked at her and nodded, saying, "You can tell me anything, Melody. I won't judge you about it." Melody smiled and nodded.

She sighed and said, "Well... you see..." She sighed and said, "When I was little, I was born with a gift... or a curse." Atem looked at her strangely. Melody looked away and said, "It was never that much of a problem, but... my mother rejected me." Atem's eyes opened wide. He was about to reach his hand towards her to hold her, but he backed out, so she could finish her story. Melody wiped a tear away from her eyes and said, "She killed herself. And my father died from being a guard for... your father." Atem looked away as she said, "He risked his life for a priest. I was an orphan, a hungry orphan. I traveled out of Egypt and came across Rome, where there was delicious food. I stole a lot ofit, and I got caught. The Emperor was entrigued by how I looked. I was wipped and kept as a pleasure slave." Atem's eyes widened with rage. Melody smiled and said, "I always knew when they would use me, so I would hit them and kick them. I refused to be abused. So, they never had their way with me." Atem looked at her and smiled at her. She sighed and said, "Then, I was sent to you.And you know the rest."

Atem looked at her and said, "How did you know when they would use you?" He was puzzled.

Melody looked at him and said, "Atem... my secret... is..." She looked down and said, "I have the gift to see the future." Atem stared in disbelief at her. She looked down and said, "I saw when they were going to take me. I saw when I would be given to you. I saw that you were going to possibly kiss me when I was unconscious. I saw you kiss me in the garden. While I saw sleeping, I saw you get hit by Diabound's blast. And I saw me telling you this. I saw it all!" She fell on her knees, tears falling down her cheeks. "And... and now I'm afraid you'll rejectme,like my mother did, like my fatherdid, like everybody I told mysecret to!"She sobbed sadly, but then gasped when Atemknelt down beside her.. He kissed her cheek, using his lips to wipe a tear away.

He looked at her passionatly and said, "Melody... I would never reject you..." He leaned in towards her face. Melody blushed and leaned in too, hearing Atem say, "I love you."

Melody had tears in her eyes as Atem kissed her lips. Melody kissed back, loving each moment of it. Atem put his hands on her back, and Melody dug her hands into Atem's hair (A/N very had to do... lol), kissing him back. She pulled away for breath as did Atem. He looked at her and stroked her cheek, saying, "If you love me..." He kneeled on one knee. Melody gasped as she saw Atem slide the ring on her finger, saying, "Marry me and become Queen of Egypt with me."

Melody finally let the tears fall. She looked at the ring and gasped, seeing how beautiful it was. She smiled and said, "Oh Atem! Yes! Yes, I will marry you!" She leaped into his arms and kissed his lips, leaving her mouth slightly open. Atem complied and kissed back, sliping his tongue into her mouth, tasting her mouth with a firey passion. Melody let go of him for air, looking into Atem's eyes. She saw lust in his eyes, a lust for her body. She panted and felt her eyes become heavy. Those eyes... they made her swoon before him. She closed her eyes as Atem kissed her neck, his hands carressing her hair.

He looked up at her eyes, seeing them relax. He let go of her hair and said, "Melody..." Melody looked at him, a smile forming on her lips. She put her head on his chest, nuzzeling against it. Atem felt her soft hair on him and kissed her head, saying, "I love you so much, Melody... from the moment I saw you... I knew you were the one for me..." Melody looked up at him, her eyes dazed and filled with love for the man before him. Melody gasped as Atem lifted her off of her feet, carrying her. Melody was about to say something, but Atem put a finger on her lips, saying, "Shush." Melody nodded and smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck. Atem carried his new bride-to-be, happy he finally was going to be with the one woman he truley loved.

Isis had watched the whole scene from above, smiling. Shewas happy that their Pharaoh was finally able to be with the one he loved... but now what?She had heard about Melody's gift, and Isis had known about it all along. Shesighed and said,"That girl has sufferend so much..." Isis sighed and said, "I hope the Pharaoh can heal her wounds..."

Isis gasped when Seto said,"It wont be easy, Isis."

Seto stepped out of the shadows, his Millennium Rod in his hand. Seto chuckled andsaid, "ButI havea good idea someone will have to heal thosewounds... and they most likelywill be bythe Pharaoh. He smirked and walked off. Isis sighed andsmiled and walked towards Seto, following the High Priest.

Atem had told Melody to wait with Mana while he took care of some things, so Melody was with Mana in the Oasis. They wandered it, Mana so excited for Melody that she was to be wedded to Atem. Melody was as well, her eyes having a new shine to them. She wandered with Mana until they met up with none other than Seto. Melody smiled and bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, High Priest Seto." Seto blinked and nodded. Melody stood up right and said, "See you later!" She ran off with Mana.

Isis was behind Seto, observing this moment. Melody was all of a sudden so... so perky and happy. Isis sighed and said, "Mana! Come here! I have to teach you you're magic lessons!" Mana frowned, said her good-byes to Melody, and ran off with Isis, leaving Seto and Melody alone.
