"Keket was a well know thief." Ahkmenrah started explaining. "She was also a murderer. Many people had tried to capture her, but she always escaped. She even escaped from our prison once. I was only ten when I first saw her."

~Flashback~

Ten year old Ahkmenrah was running through the halls of the palace. He had just finished his lessons and was eager to go play outside. He rounded one of the corners, but quickly hid behind the wall when he saw his older brother Kahmunrah and some girl he now knew was Keket. He always liked to spy on his big brother of course that made him mad.

Kahmunrah and Keket were talking, but Ahkmenrah was to far away to hear what they were saying. He saw his brother present Keket with a necklace. It was the same necklace Ahkmenrah had given October for her birthday. Keket smiled as Kahmunrah put the necklace on her. Then Keket kissed him; Ahkmenrah was disgusted. He didn't like watching people kiss so he went another direction and left the two lovers alone.

One week had passed since Ahkmenrah saw his brother with that girl, but he hadn't seen her since so he pushed that memory aside. He was playing with a few of the servants children when he saw his older brother head over to the stables. Being the curious little boy that he was, Ahkmenrah followed. He saw his brother talking to Keket again.

This time he was closer and he could hear their conversation. Kahmunrah was talking about murdering their own father.

"Keket, you are the best one for the job. You are very skilled when it comes to killing. If you kill my father you and I can rule of Egypt."

Keket smirked. "I like the sound of that. All right, I'll do it tonight."

Ahkmenrah ran from the stables and went to find his father. He had to know what Kahmunrah was planning. The young prince ran into the palace and right into his mother.

"Ahkmenrah, why are you in such a rush."

"I have to tell him. I have to tell father." Ahkmenrah said as he tried to catch his breath.

"Tell your father what?"

"Kahmunrah was talking to a girl and they are planning to kill father."

If his mother was afraid she didn't show it. She just smiled at him.

"Why don't you go play? I'll talk to your father."

"But-"

"No buts. Now go."

Ahkmenrah started walking out of the palace as his mother went to talk to his father. Ahkmenrah couldn't get what his older brother said. He was planning on killing their father and taking the throne. Ahkmenrah knew what he had to do. He had to protect his father.

That night Ahkmenrah wouldn't leave his father's side even when his father told him to go to bed. Finally his father had one of the servants take Ahkmenrah to his room. He didn't stay there though. Once the servant left Ahkmenrah snuck out and went to find his father.

Ahkmenrah ran to his parents' room, but when he got there the room was empty. He was about to leave the room when he heard footsteps so he quickly hid behind the bed. Soon his father and mother walked into the room. They were talking for a few minutes when Keket came in the room through the window.

"Who are you?"

"Just someone trying to make my way in life."

Keket took out a dagger and advanced on Ahkmenrah's father. Before she did anything else something caught her eye. She looked behind the pharaoh and saw a gold tablet.

"That will be worth a fortune."

"You aren't stealing that."

"You can't stop me."

Keket raised her dagger and was about the plunge it into the pharaoh when Ahkmenrah ran out of his hiding spot and in front of his father.

"Ahkmenrah, what are you doing here?"

"I came to save you."

"How sweet. Your youngest his trying to protect you. Well, he'll die as well.

"No."

Ahkmenrah's father pushed him out of the way. His mother ran out of the room as she called the guards. Keket jumped at his father and cut him on his arm. Ahkmenrah ran at Keket and grabbed her leg to slow her down.

"Get off me you little pest."

Keket was about to stab him, but the guards came in and grabbed Keket. Ahkmenrah then let go and went up to his father and the guards took Keket to the cells.

"Father, are you all right?"

"My son, what am I going to do with you? You could have been killed."

"So could you, but we are both alive."

Ahkmenrah was very smart for his age and very brave. His father smiled at him.

The next morning Keket was sentenced to death. Ahkmenrah stood next to his father as he looked around for Kahmunrah. He finally spotted his older brother a few feet away from them. His hand was bawled into a fist and he did not look happy. Of course he wouldn't be since the girl he loves was about to die.

The Pharaoh gave the go ahead for the execution and Ahkmenrah looked back at Keket. He saw her mumbling something and her necklace started to glow. The executioner raised his ax then came down on Keket. Ahkmenrah quickly turned his head.

He didn't know what happened to Keket's body or what became of the necklace, but he soon forgot about her and that he saw the necklace glow. He always thought it might have been the refection of the sun.

~End of Flashback~

"I still can't believe I didn't recognize the necklace."

"It's not your fault, Akh." Larry said. "You were just a boy."

"She cast a spell to put her spirit in the necklace. I just wish I could remember what she said. Maybe we could put her spirit back in the necklace."

"If we took the necklace off shouldn't Keket not be possessing her now?" Sacagawea asked.

"I don't know."

Ahkmenrah wondered since he did take the necklace off would Keket be repelled from October? After all October had to wear the necklace for Keket to posses her. He was scared at the moment. More scared then he had ever been in his life. He didn't want to lose October. She was the best thing that ever happened to him and he couldn't bare to lose her. The pain would be too great to live with.

Just then October stirred and her eyes slowly opened. Ahkmenrah was wondering who was waking up. Was it October? Or Keket?

I love making you guys wonder and wait. I wonder who it will be. Thanks for reading and reviewing. ^_^
