A Dream and a Memory orTwo…

A gag was heard as a girl fell to her knees moaning in pain. Someone ran over to her and sat down next to her. He put his hand out and touched her shoulder.

"Oh…it hurts" the girl choked out between catching her breath.

"Just hold on, I'll get you to a healer."

"I can't stand the pain"

"You have to try"

"I don't think I can" the voice groaned.

Tears welled in her eyes as she clutched her stomach. A knife was lodged in it. Blood had seeped through her thin white dress and was running down her legs. A young man wrapped his arms around her and started to cry.

"Don't cry Atem…"

"I can't h-help it" He hiccupped.

The girl kissed his lips passionately before erupting into a fit of coughs. A thick red liquid trickled down her chin and with each hack blood spurted from her mouth. She was dying.

" … Please don't leave me…"

"I have no choice…I am truly sorry my pharaoh, but I must g-go"

Some one was crying and screaming in dark shadows as he held a young girl with golden hair almost brushing the floor.

"…I need you…"

"I shall return to you…at another time and place. This I can assure you. I love you Atem…my Atem…"

She closed her crystal blue eyes and was gone. Never to awake again.

"Why! Please come back! I can't wait three thousand years! I need your warmth now…I am weak without you…"

With that the man covered in darkness, grabbed the knife and brought it to his right wrist.

SLASH!

A scream filled the air and then there was nothing…but the silence of the night and the strong smell of blood…

Atem sat up in bed with tears in his eyes. It was a dream? Someone was holding him…Lieren.

"Are you alright?" He hastily wiped at his eyes.

"F-Fine."

"You don't look fine."

Atem was silent. He didn't like lying to the girl, but he didn't want her to know that he was crying.

Pulling Atem closer, Lieren whispered. "I won't tell anyone."

Atem's eyes widened.

"It's OK to cry sometimes Atem. Look, if you really don't want the priests or them to know…they don't have too. You have to be more open with me. I am you're lover after all. Go ahead and cry. I won't tell anyone."

Atem bit his bottom lip. He shifted his body so he was facing Lieren. He didn't look in her eyes though. His stare was downward. Burying his face in her soft chest he cried.

"Let's be friends forever!" A girl smiled.

"I like you a lot Lieren…"

"I like you too." She giggled. They were just kids. Atem was no older then 14.

He blushed. "You think…we'll always be together?"

"I hope!"

The boy grinned at the girl's happiness. "Me too…"
