It had been a week since Nefertiri left and she was due back any day. Myetum was playing in the courtyard when she saw a messenger running toward the palace, curious, Myetum followed him in to see what was going on.

Once in front of Ramases, the messenger yelled, "my lord, the queen is dead" as soon as the words escaped, Myetum ran upstairs to her room and cried. Her mother was dead and she knew not why, but had a very close reason as to why such a horrible thing has happened.

In Ramases's palace

"Who has dared murder my wife?" Ramases asked the messenger.

"A horrible man. He is here now, ask him for your self." As the messenger said this a young man was being dragged in to the palace.

"What have you done to my lovely wife?"

"I have done what the gods could not do." He said with a smile.

"Explain before I have you killed."

"Ah… you wish to kill me, but rewarding me would be more appropriate"

"How so? You have killed the queen; death would be too easy for you."

"I may have killed the queen, but I have also killed the woman who had such a sin in her. She has a secret my lord. A secret so horrible I was forced to let a man live for such a thing to be told."

"What is the secret?"

"She has had a love affair with a medjai and has bore him two children. One child has died for having both royal and medjai blood run through him, but the other lives, here under your nose. Myetum I do believe the child's name is. Once her daughter was born, Nefertiri lied to her father saying she found the girl, but in reality the child is her blood." The man smiled knowing the girl would be punished.

"If what you speak is the truth…"

"It is my lord, it is the truth."

"Then very well, guards let this man go and bring me the sinned child that has the dirty blood in her."

The man was let go and the guards left to get Myetum.

Upstairs, Myetum was crying knowing she was all alone and that it wouldn't be long before her life was ended. She had wiped her face when the guards came in and grabbed her. She was taken to ramases.

In the main hall ramases looked at the child and spat at her. "You filthy blooded demon, you will die for your stupid mother's choice in her life. Let it be known the princess will die at sunrise." Ramases yelled, his voice echoing through out the palace.

"My lord that can not be done" a medjai spoke up.

"It can and it will, you may join her if you wish to protect her."

"No, that is not what I mean"

"Explain."

"She is the only heir, Nefertiri gave you no child of your own, if something should happen to you this child becomes pharaoh."

"Very well, put the child in the fields and to work. She is to not enter the palace, but live as a slave until a new heir is born and then she shall die."

Myetum was dragged out of the palace and into the slave's village, leaving everything she knew and loved behind.

Four months had a passed and news of the pharaoh's new wife had been made and Myetum feared for it would only be a matter of time before her life came to an end.

She had been working as a slave and had been living with a family who had once known her mother and father well. They took her in seeing that no one else would and treated her like one of their own.

When news spread that the new queen was to have a baby, Myetum said good-bye to her slave family and ran into the desert hoping that if she ran now, by the time her death was set she'd be long gone. She just prayed that after everything she had been through the gods would feel pity on her soul and spare her life.

Due to lack of reviews I may not continue, if you'd like me to please let me know, i'm getting nothing and feel people may not care, boo hoo:)
