Just to let everyone know so there's no confusion Keket is a girl.
Rebecca did like Ahkmenrah said and kept an eye on October and he was right. October wasn't acting like herself. Every time October passed a mirror she would stop and look at herself. She also seemed a little too cheerful.
During the day is when Rebecca saw the biggest change in her sister. October had left for about an hour and when she came home her hair was cut shoulder length. It surprised Rebecca because October said she would never cut her hair. She had been growing her hair out since the beginning of high school and freaked out when she just got her hair trimmed. She never wanted her hair cut. When Rebecca asked October why she cut her hair she replied that it was time for a change.
I can't believe you cut my hair. October was so mad and if she could punch Keket she would. She would do more then that. She would beat her up.
"It's just hair. Nothing big."
I can't believe you cut my hair.
"You really are starting to annoy me. I'll be so glad in a few days when you'll be too weak to talk."
Someone is going to find out you aren't me.
"If they could figure it out don't you think they would have by now?"
October wanted to argue, but part of her said that they might not figure it out. Rebecca should know something is wrong. After all she had known her all her life so how could she not know something isn't wrong? October wished that someone would figure it out. If not then she might cease to exist in a few days.
"It's boring here. I think I'll go out."
October really wished she could do something. If Keket did anything then she would be living with the consequences…if she ever got her body back.
Keket liked this new world. It was very different from the one she came from, but she quickly got use to their ways. The food will take some getting use to. She was also fascinated by the way people got around now. It was much faster then a horse.
"Hey October."
Keket always had to remind herself that she had to answer to that name now. She still thought it was a stupid name.
"Hello…I'm so sorry I forgot your name." Keket smiled innocently.
"It's Zack. Are you having a bad day or something?"
"Just lack of sleep. You're really cute."
Don't hit on him! I already have a guy!
So you and Ahkmenrah are a couple? That makes things more interesting.
Keket walked up to Zack. "So do you have any plans for today?"
"What did you have in mind?"
Keket smirked mischievously. "We could go back to my place and have little fun."
"Uh…I thought you had a boyfriend?"
"He is old news."
No, no, no, no! I'm not going to let this happen.
You can't stop me.
"Maybe you should wait awhile." Zack said. "Rushing into another relationship isn't a good idea."
"Well, if you change your mind I'll be here."
"Yeah I'll uh…remember that. I have somewhere I need to be." Then Zack left.
I think you scared him off. Good job.
Oh he'll be back. No one has resisted me before.
Keket spent the rest of the day walking around the city. October wanted so much to kick her out of her body. Keket kept hitting on random guys and it made October sick. October tried to take over her body like she did the night before, but it only worked for a few seconds.
When Keket got back to the house October tried to take over again to tell Rebecca and Larry, but it took too much out of her too take control and talk. When she did talk it only came out in a whisper and when Rebecca asked what she said Keket had taken over again. Every time October tried to take control it drained her and she could feel herself slipping away. She decided that she would try one more time. Tonight at the museum.
It seemed like forever to October, but it was finally time to go to the museum. Now she had to wait for her and Ahkmenrah to be alone which wasn't long. As soon as they got to the museum Keket went straight to the Pharaoh's tomb.
"You cut your hair." Ahkmenrah said when Keket arrived.
"Do you like it?"
"Why did you cut it?"
"I thought it was time for a change. You hate it, don't you?"
"No, I like it. I just liked it better when it was long."
"Well it will grow back."
"Are you feeling better tonight?"
"What do you mean?"
"You were acting strange last night."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Now was October's chance. She used all of her strength to take control as Keket was trying to stay in control. Ahkmenrah stared at October wondering what was going on.
"Are you all right?"
October finally took control so she had to hurry and try to speak up so he could hear. "Ahkmenrah, help. It's not me."
Keket quickly took control again. October could feel the rest of her energy vanishing and she was getting weaker. She may not live for a few more days if she tried that again or if she even could.
"October?"
"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about."
"What did you say?"
"When?"
"Just a few minutes ago?"
"I didn't say anything. I think you're hearing things."
Keket walked up to the young Pharaoh with a smile. "Now why don't we have some fun?"
Keket put her arms around Ahkmenrah and started kissing him. October tried to yell out, but she couldn't. She felt so weak. Trying to take control really did drain her. She felt helpless as she watched Keket kiss the one guy she loves.
