Chapter 13

One Day Later

Keket gazed at the destruction, face cold. From an outsider's point of view she would have looked as if she didn't care. If you asked one of her friends they would have told you that she was trying hard not to destroy something. Atemu especially, could see her heka swirling inside her, trying to find an opening. Bakura had tried to burn the palace, but with so many powerful mages inside, it was an impossible task. They each could help with a part. Keket had created a barrier between the largest flames and the air. It quickly burned out all the oxygen. The flames only seemed to burn brighter as they started absorbing all of the rest of the air as well. Once all the air in the pocket had disappeared, the flames kept burning for a good 3 hours. By the time they were all put out, Keket was exhausted. She took off her pendant slowly, wondering if she could still talk to Fukayna without it. Feeling a rush of energy filling her she wondered what powers her pendant had. She had told Kisara she had stolen them while in reality they had nearly whipped her in the face. She had caught it just in time but there was a cut on her palm for three days. She already knew that the necklaces were heka-proof but she had no idea what else they did. She would have to ask Mahado to run some tests on it.

Atemu had gone around helping with the more numerous small fires. No one had even noticed them at the time. They must have been set off during the party in such small flames so as not to be noticed. Keket knew that someone inside was lying to them. She would find them if it was the last thing she did. They were endangering her pack. Keket paused in her thoughts. Pack? Where had that come from? She rubbed her temples blinking. She was thinking like a wolf… Just as she thought that, a pain on her left upper arm made her wince. What? She rolled up her sleeve to see that old scar of hers.

Keket, Age 12

A figure ran along underneath a full moon. Keket was wearing a manic grin that would make Bakura flinch. She had found the weakness in the wealthy lord's protection spells. 'Kura would be so happy! They would be able to slowly drain all of his wealth and then play with him for a bit. She was so far into her ecstasy that she didn't hear it come up behind her. When she did realize the thing was there it was too late. It leaped at her, head twisted, frothing at the mouth. As it moved, Keket noticed it was a human-like wolf. A sharp pain in her upper arm brought her back to the fight. With a snarl she drew a knife and stabbed the creature in the stomach. She twisted the knife and pulled it out. Her arm was killing her. A sudden drain on her energy made her gasp as she watched her wound close before her eyes. Her heka kept on working though, negating enough of the poison so that she would not become the monster which bit her. Long before the process was over, she had already collapsed onto the ground.

Back to the Now ;)

When she had received her place in the palace, the first thing she did was run through the library, looking up wolf-like creatures. She had found it not long after. A werewolf, a creature bitten or born to transform into a wolf at each full moon. The wording had been slightly tricky but she assumed that if it was born as a werewolf then it transformed naturally into a wolf each full moon. The creature that was bitten (AN: I'm just going to call them the 'Bitten') by a natural born werewolf (AN: 'Born') became a werewolf painfully each full moon. Keket had to struggle with herself before she could refer to the Born and Bitten as people. Each full moon she developed a slight taste for raw meat and gradually her canines grew sharper. Keket woke from her memories as Atemu sat down next to her. "How long until the palace is back up to normal?"

"Not very much if we throw all of our energy into it," Keket replied, distracted as she watched all the people passing by, wondering if any of them posed a threat to her Pharaoh. "'We' meaning Mahado, Seto, and me." As Atemu opened his mouth to protest, Keket cut him off. "No. You, My Pharaoh, need to protect the city in case something like this happens again." He closed his mouth glumly, knowing she was right.

"I only wish that I could help. Look at me! What good is a Pharaoh if he cannot protect his own people?" Atemu cried out in frustration, running his hands through his hair. Keket frowned, If only he could see what other do…

"Atemu, you are doing your best. The people could not ask any more of you." Keket suddenly noticed the bags under his eyes. "Have you been sleeping well? You don't look well rested." She frowned. "Sleep."

"Where?" Atemu laughed bitterly, "The palace is in ruins!"

"You musn't speak like that!" Keket spoke slowly, but her voice rose slightly. "You just said you wished you could do more for your people! What can you do without you heka levels at their highest and with a mind clouded with unrest? Sleep!" Her voice softened slightly, "I will go and repair your room now, when I get back you will be here and you shall NOT move at all." Keket walked swiftly away, dragging Mahado with her by the ear. When she got back, Atemu was already asleep. Oh, Atemu…there are things even you cannot bear alone…
