Twilight had come and gone, yet sapphire was far from tired. She sat up and looked around. Alex was curled into a blanket on the sand next to her, a red guard had dozed off against a statue 5 yards away, and everyone else was asleep on the train or in the sand around the place. She looked behind the rock that was conveniently behind her and saw the 'bread crumb' Alex was leaving for his parents.

She stood up, stretched, and pulled the cloak around her. She started walking around aimlessly until she heard someone. As she approached she saw Imhotep kneeling next to Ank in front of a pool. Sapphire snuck behind a statue and peered around it. She could just make out that Imhotep was talking about the past. Then, lights out.

Sapphire opened her eyes. She was standing in some type of room, filled with weapons and people. She realized she was wearing jeans and a tank top again. She walked over to the first person she saw and said, "Uh, where are we?"

The man who she noticed had markings on his cheeks and ancient style clothing said nothing. "Hello?" she said waving her hand in front of his face. Thinking he was just being rude she made to slap him, only her hand went right threw his face. Sapphire gasped and jumped back. She heard noise behind her and when she turned around she found two women who looked like Evey and Ank were fighting in the center of the room. Upon further investigation she found what must have been Seti on a throne with Imhotep beside him. She watched the women fight for a while. She saw Ank win, Seti declare she was to be his new wife, the look between the concubine and the high priest, and then nothing. One minute she was in that room.

The next she was in another room. As she looked around she found Ank and Imhotep, making out. It made her blood boil and she didn't even know why. She knew she and Imhotep had history, but she knew only that he was her friend in a past life. Before she could move though, Sati came in. Sapphire was forced to watch everything. She saw Seti die, Ank die, and even to her horror she saw Imhotep die. As he screamed below her in the sarcophagus, she had to turn away.

She let out a frustrated sigh. No longer could she hear screaming, but no longer was it daylight either. She figured she must be standing in front of the palace gates for there were Mejia not far on either side. As she looked around she saw a woman with a basket walking her way. When the women walked by the gates, she slyly let the basket down so neither guard noticed. Sapphire looked into the basket and gasped. Inside was a little female baby with short black hair. It could not have been but a few months old.

Its you… a voice whispered in her head. Without thinking Sapphire took off after the woman. She followed her threw several dark allies, winding streets, and even threw a building or two. She had almost lost her until she saw a group of men surround the woman to her right. She stepped threw one of the men to get a better view. The women who had left the baby had brown hair that fell to her shoulders and eyes as brown as dirt. One of the men, who obviously was the leader, stepped toward the women.

He said, "Come on Ferteria, give us the baby. My master would love her for his son. She'll be well cared for, better then you ever could."

"My love and I were fine until you killed him!" she spat at the man. Sapphire stood shocked.

"If your love and you would have given us the child we wouldn't had to."

"You lie!"

"So what if I do? Now where is the child and your death shall be swift." He smirked.

She looked at him and reached into her robes. "Somewhere you'll never be able to touch her" she smiled. In a flash she had pulled out a dagger and sliced open her throat.

One of the men turned to the leader. "What now boss?"

"We find that special baby or we die. Simple as that." The boss spit on the women's corpse and headed in another direction. Sapphire stared at the woman's corpse very closely. She felt like crying. The women looked like her mother, the one that had died when she was 8 due to a car accident. She remembered that her father had cried for years, he always said "you only truly love someone once with all you soul. I'll see her again."

Sapphire shook her head. She realized it was time to remember more then one life. She headed back threw the streets toward the palace gates. When she arrived she found the guards holding the child.

The one cradling it asked "what should we do with it?"

The other answered "give it to the head concubine to train I suppose"

"Alright." Before he could take a step the baby opened its eyes. Two blue gem looking eyes that shone like sapphires stared at them. The child giggled.

"Um… I think we should take it to the king. What do you think?" the one cradling it said.

"I think you can do it, I'll stay standing guard." The other walked over to his post.

The first one sighed. "I hope the gods sent this child as a gift. I'm surely a dead man if they didn't and I wasted the king's time." He walked into the palace with Sapphire following him.

Sapphire followed the guard deep into the palace. The child seemed to stare at the wonders around her, and she received many curious looks from servant passer bys. Finally, the three reached a big double door with two more guards.

"I have something important for the king" the first Mejia said. One of the new ones looked weary, but after seeing the child he knocks on the doors. A minute later they opened to reveal a beautiful woman. She wore white dress and had ink designs on her arms. A crown with a single blue gem rested on her head. Does everything have to relate to blue? Sapphire thought as she followed the first guard into the chambers behind the woman. A man, also dressed in white Egyptian clothing came into view.

"What is the meaning of the nightly call guard?" the pharaoh's voice bounced of the walls. The guard kneeled and bowed, careful of his precious cargo. Without speaking he presented the child out while he kept his head down. Sapphire walked to the guards left side so she could see well. The child had fallen asleep once again.

"You interrupted our night to show us a baby girl?" the queen said slowly.

"My lady, it is no ordinary child I assure you. Her eyes shine as bright as the gem on your crown." The guard said never looking up. The king laughed but the queen walked up and took the child. As she cradled in her arms it opened her eyes. The queen gasped and the Pharaoh took a step closer.

"She must be a gift from the gods!" the pharaoh exclaimed. "Where did you find this child?"

"Someone left her by the front gates my lord."

"I wonder what kind of mother could part with such a cute little grin?" the queen said as she cooed over the child. "My lord, since we have a son of age 2, I was wondering if I could raise this child. I always wanted a little girl." She smiled at the giggling baby.

The pharaoh dismissed the guard. "Are you sure my love? I know it is not your job to even raise our son that much." He said with a sad smile.

"I can love more then one child, and I can raise both. The servants shall help with our son as will his tutors… but this child is no ordinary child my love. I feel as if she is not meant to be like an ordinary princess, but something greater."

"I see what you mean, just be aware of who you talk to my love. If the girl means so much to you then she is yours." He approached his wife and gathered the two into her arms. "May I hold her?" he asked softly. The queen handed the baby to him. She curled in his arms and yawned. She fell asleep with her head against his chest. "What shall we call this amazing child?" the pharaoh gave the child an actual smile, and based on the queens smile, Sapphire had the feeling the king didn't even smile like this the day the son was born.

The queen hugged her husband. "I think we should call her Little Sapphire." She stroked the child's sleeping head. "Our Little Sapphire"

The pharaoh grinned at the baby. "Our Little Sapphire. I like the sound of that."

Sapphire blinked. A second ago there was a blue eyed baby in the arms of a pharaoh. Now there seemed to be a blue eyed 5 year old sitting on a mini throne between two big ones. There was a boy about age 7 standing next to the pharaoh's throne. The pharaoh sat in his throne.

"Watch children as your mother and her opponent spare." He said. The women began sparing. It was a dance of daggers and limbs. Each was very capable and neither showed signs of tiring. Sapphire looked from them to the little girl. And saw she was gone. The males had not noticed.

"Uh guys? I'm not there anymore!" she yelled. But no one heard her. Sapphire scanned the room and couldn't see the child, err her. She was so confused.

Just then a little figure moved by a statue near the mother's opponent. When the opponent took a step back to block an advance, at the precise moment that she picked up her left foot and started to put it back down, a little figure rammed into her right leg, knocking the woman off balance. The woman fell ungracefully to the floor. Within a second the little figure was sitting on the opponent's belly with a dagger to her neck. It took both of Little Sapphire hands to hold it up.

For a moment the room was silent. Then the Pharaoh and the son started clapping as the queen placed the little girl on her hip. "That's my girl!" she said. She walked over to the boys and placed the girl on the pharaoh's lap.

"Maybe I should put you in training with you brother. Would you like that sweetie?" he asked. The little girl nodded her head.

"Then it's settled. Seti shall train with father, and Little Sapphire shall train with me. And both will need to balance their studies as well."

"Yes Mama" Little Sapphire said.

"I have one more surprise for you." The pharaoh said. "BRING HIM IN!" he bellowed.

In walked a bald headed boy who looked about six. His eyes traveled to each one before he bowed.

"Rise Imhotep, future high priest." The pharaoh said. "This is Seti, your future pharaoh, and Little Sapphire."

Imhotep raised his head and locked eyes with the young girl. He smiled at her.

"He's cute" Little Sapphire giggled. The queen smiled at her daughter then at the new boy. "Can I keep him?" she asked her father. The adults laughed and shared a knowing look.

Sapphire looked between the young version of herself and Imhotep. She looked at the queen with a sad expression on her face. She said "Why couldn't I keep you Imhotep?" as she watched him approach Little Sapphire before they ran off to play a game of tag. Then things began to change once again, as she traveled a little father into to future.

So I am breaking this into two memory chapters because I want to keep them short. Plus it seemed a good way to end it.~C
