Ok, just a little review here before we continue with the story. Liza has met Yami; he knows what her dad does to her and her mother and wants to help. So he brings Liza to him to keep her safe. But due to years of abuse, Liza doesn't quite trust him. Now, I know someone is probably gonna kill me if I don't shut up, so on with the story!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Liza followed Yami through a maze of corridors and passage ways. Try as she might, she couldn't memorize all of them, because Yami was practically running, so she eventually gave up and concentrated on figuring out what to do.
'Alright, I was in my cave, and then I was somehow transported here. Ok, that doesn't make much sense to begin with but moving on.' She thought to her self 'Now I'm with a guy, who happens to be very hot, who says he's the pharaoh. Ok, that doesn't make sense either. Oh! Scrap it!' she thought as Yami came to a stop in front of a door 'I'll figure this out later.'
Yami opened the door to reveal a rather large bed room suit type thing. Turning to Liza he said:
"These will be your rooms. You will have your own personal study and anything else you could possibly want while you're here. And, once we get everything figured out, if you decide to stay these will be yours permanently."
Two girls about Liza's age timidly stepped from behind a curtain. Yami noticed them and motioned for them to come forward and said to Liza "These will be your…..oh what do you people in the real world call them?"
"Maids?"
"Yes that's it." Yami said nodding, stepping into the room, gently pulling Liza in with him "They will do anything you tell them to. Now, Liza, I must leave you with them for a short time. I must get to a meeting with my priests. The girls will introduce themselves to you after I'm gone." Yami lifted Liza's hand and kissed her figure tips. "I will look forward to eating with you tonight at dinner."
Releasing her hand, Yami turned to the two girls.
"Take care of her. I will send Timothy when dinner is ready."
"Of course my pharaoh." Both girls responded at the same time, bowing low. They remained that way until the door shut firmly behind Yami. Liza looked at the two girls and they, well, pretty much kept their eyes to the ground...
"You don't have to look down when you're around me you know." Liza said.
The two girls shook their heads and the taller one answered "Yes, we must. You are more noble then us. We have no right to look you in the eyes, ma'am."
"Well, I would like it if you did. Let's make a deal, if you act normal around me, then I'll show you some stuff from my world."
"Your world? You mean the out side world?" The shorter one asked, timidly looking up.
Liza grinned. "You bet. So what do you say? Deal?" she said extending her hand.
The girls looked at each other and the taller one said
"Well, it is against everything we've been taught….but" she grasped Liza's hand "As you say 'deal'"
The afternoon went by very quickly. Liza learned the girls were sisters and their names (Naomi and Beth). In return, Naomi and Beth were introduced to CD's, CD players, MP3 players and makeup from the 'out side world'. It seemed only a few minutes had passed when there was a knock at the door. Liza made to stand up, but Beth motioned for her to sit while Naomi got the door. In walked a boy no older then Naomi.
"The Pharaoh wishes me to tell our guest that he wishes that she will join him for a private meal in his privet gardens tonight at sun-set."
Liza nodded "Please tell him I'll be there."
The boy nodded and backed out of the room. Naomi closed the door and turned to Liza.
"Wow, a private dinner with the Pharaoh." She said "You're one lucky girl, Liza."
"Why?" Liza asked, visibly confused.
"Because," Beth answered. "Many of the high priests are lucky if they get fifteen minutes in private with the pharaoh. A private dinner is as rare as Isis herself walking amongst us servants."
"Wow. Then I guess I am lucky. Oh man!" Liza practically yelled "If this is like some big time honor, what on earth am I going to wear! I only have a spare pair of jeans with me and a spare t-shirt! That's hardly good enough for this." Liza said in despair. Liza looked at Naomi and Beth, who were grinning like crazy. "Something tells me I'm going to start liking those smiles in the near future."
"Oh yes you will." Naomi said as she and Beth pulled Liza into a side room. "You will indeed."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Here I leave you in suspense. What are Naomi and Beth planning? Why does Yami want to eat with Liza alone? And what's gonna happen to Liza's mother? You'll have to wait and see!
