Chapter 1-
Awakening
She sat silently on the icy stone bench, watching the moons silver glow glitter along the waves of the pond, seeming fascinated and fearful by its angry companion, the reflection of the orange glow in the night sky as it danced on the water's surface. The young woman looked up to just above the palace roofs where the orange glow lit the night sky, sending up black toxic smoke, its flames only just visual over the high wall. She hung her head again, not noticing a tear escape her control.
She turned and stood quickly as she heard rushed footsteps along the smooth palace floors. Please let it be him, oh please let him be alright! She pleaded to the heavens. Her faith fell as she saw a tall, large figure approach. Her heart dropped to the floor and her mind froze in pain as she saw who it was…Seth, wearing the Pharaohs Puzzle and crown. The young lady collapsed onto the floor in a pile, breathing heavily, the tears fell freely now as her world crumbled to dust around her, just as the houses outside the palace walls did once the fire was finished consuming.
She raised her head to the sky and cried out in pain, calling to the moon and heavens. There was no answer, just deathly silence.
The mechanic beeping woke me with a fright, so loud and sudden that I called out as I jumped at the sound, but then my sudden movement sent me onto the cold floor below.
"OW!" I moaned in annoyance, sitting up to rub the side of my head which had hit the ground first. Great, a concussion and heart attack, perfect way to start the day! I growled in hatred at the machine. "Take this, they said, it will help you get up on mornings, they told me. The hell it does! Along with giving me a cracked skull!" I picked up the machine and hit it hard on its head. There was a mechanical wheezing like sound, kind of like when you're eaten by a ghost on Pack Man as you disappear and loose a life.
I picked up my phone from my bedside table and saw it was time to get ready. I sighed heavily, rubbing my eyes and yawning as I trudged along to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror, sighing again but this time in defeat. There were faint bags under my eyes, barely noticeable to everyone but me, and the sensitive skin there looked a little too discoloured, as if I was developing black eyes, looking a bluish-black. Oh fabulous, great look for starting at a new school.
I groaned and ran the tap, cupping the water in my hands and rubbing the chilly liquid over my face. That feels a little better. I was satisfied to see that my face looked brighter, skin a little more alive and clearer. I got a quick wash, then pulling on my new uniform I glanced in the mirror again. I took my brush and ran it though my hair with time and care, first through the black portion of my hair that passed my waist, then through my fringe which was as long as my face. This golden portion of my hair was layered and framed around my face to flatter me. I liked my hair, in the bright sun the black looked as if it had red highlights, and was surprisingly thin and light to say how much was there.
I didn't mind my pale skin either, even though it was a worryingly light shade and many people would actually ask me if I was feeling alright because of it. And I didn't care if my eyes were a pale silvery grey colour, the same colour as a Moonstone. And I was ok with my full pink lips and cheeks, my small height or thin and curvy figure with a nicely sized bust-though a little too big if you asked me-, even if they made me look more twelve or eleven rather than mid sixteen.
No, none of this bothered me.
What bothered me was the fact that I was inhumanly beautiful. It was all of these factors that made me look so cute and appealing to humans. It was the unnecessary and unwanted attention I would get, that I minded.
And I know what you're thinking, God how vain is she? Well quit it cause I'm not! I'm being honest. I'm the daughter of the most powerful God for the love of the heavens! I don't like it! I'd rather be ugly for all the good my looks have done me! You have no idea how much I wished I was human and just plain normal! Or better yet, invisible! But it is a gift and a curse from the Gods. A gift in its own right, but a curse because it drew attention to me when I'm supposed to me acting normal and blending in with humans as if I was one.
I growled, cursing Isis for her gift to me at birth and pulled open the door roughly to grab my already packed school bag and jog to the kitchen to grab an apple to eat as I walked to Domino High.
I thought over my dream. How strange, I haven't dreamt like that since… I trailed off, not wanting to finish. I didn't want to go back to that time, my time of darkness. I kept my head low as I walked into the school grounds, easily ignoring the stares from her new fellow pupils. I hate the first day, it's always the same. I thought to myself dryly.
I pulled down my skirt again before entering my new classroom. To say that it was school wear is an insult to schools around the world who liked their student to look acceptable. The skirt was like a mini skirt in a navy blue colour, the pink blouse was tightly fitted, the white shirt was a little too small and showed a little bit of my stomach, the knee high socks were plain and boring and to top it all off I had to wear the most ugly brown shoes I'd ever seen anywhere!
I entered the room slowly, grateful when no one seemed to notice my arrival. I walked up to the teacher who sat casually behind her desk, gave her my name and took a seat in the far back by the window.
And yes, before I went to sit down the teacher asked me if I was well. I blushed and smiled politely, answering I was fine. Grrr, Man, sometimes I really hate you Isis! And I could sense her laughing at me. I frowned. So mean.
I was grateful when the teacher only mentioned me briefly, told the others to be nice then looked at me with a questioning look.
"Sanmis?" The teacher called politely. I reluctantly looked away from the tempting beautiful blue shy to look at the teacher.
"It's Sacmis. Yes Miss?" I responded just as politely, correcting her patiently on the name my Human mother had given me.
"Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself?" I sighed and looked up to the ceiling, as if thinking, when actually I was only selecting on what to tell them.
"Well, my nick name is Yuki which is what I prefer to be called, I'm sixteen," And have been for five thousand years. I added mentally. "I like music, I was born in Egypt then moved to England when I was young…and I have few memories as I was injured before coming here and lost most of them…oh, and in case you're wondering, my name means The One Who Is Powerful in Ancient Egyptian." There, that will keep them off my back about my past.
Miss nodded, satisfied with my contribution and moved onto the class. But not everyone looked away. I knew a boy with blond hair was watching me carefully. I heard his friends call him Jou. I also heard the name Yugi, Yami, Seto, Anza, Honda and Ryou been thrown around quite a bit. I ignored the group, uninterested and not caring.
The lesson was easy, nothing I hadn't learnt before. I stood up from my desk to gather my things. It didn't take long, just a note pad and a small pencil case. I was up, ready and out of the room before the other students even had a chance to get out of their seats. I felt them watching me in shock. Oops, was I careless and moved to fast?
I shrugged, not really caring. The rest of the day followed just as easily and quickly. Thank you Gods for an easy swift day. I prayed mentally, smiling a little to herself, sending the message up to the heavens. And I take it back Isis. I added, not been able to stay angry as my sister figure for very long...not all things change, after all. As soon as the final bell rang I was up and out of my seat with my bag packed and out of the school doors just as the other students was leaving their classrooms. I smiled when I remembered the teachers shocked faces when I answered every question right, and in fluent Japanese as well.
I headed to a small café a few streets away from the school, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the refreshing breeze that brought the dull urban world around me to life. Once I got there, I headed into the toilets to change, not been able to stand the tight and embarrassing uniform any longer. Worst yet, I couldn't stand the looks I was getting from the men. They made my skin crawl and I wanted nothing more than to strike those disgustingly perverted looks from their faces.
When I came out I was a completely different person. The black portion of my hair was tied back in a high pony tail with a blood red ribbon, I wore a comfortable but flattering white V neck top that was low cut to show off my chest and ended just above my hips, my black ripped jeans hung low on my waistband, a blood red ribbon was tied around the top of my right arm and I wore three bracelets on each wrist- two silver and one black. I had also done a little make up. I'd painted my eyes like they had in Egypt, extending the eye liner out a little to make my eyes look even bigger, adding a little silver and black eye shadow to complement my eyes and outfit and the light pink shiny lip gloss on my smooth curvy lips. I also wore an iron cartouche on a thin delicate chain around my neck with Sacmis written in hieroglyphics. I had also swopped those horrifying brown shoes for a pair of black leather army style boots with lots of buckles, the most of them were covered by the long baggy jeans.
I smirked as the revolting stares turned to one of shock and slight fear. I smiled wider and chuckled to myself when they all turned away from me in a rush. I sat alone in one of the booths, waiting for someone to take my order. Finally, and very reluctantly, a young girl came over.
"What can I get for you?" She asked in a small voice. I looked up to her and smiled sweetly, her eyes widened as she took in my strange eyes and unnatural looks.
"Could I have a diet coke please?" I asked in my kindest voice possible. I knew everyone was watching and listening to me. They all seemed to relax when they heard my voice. The girls face lightened up.
"Sure thing." She said brightly. How easy it is to manipulate humans. I thought to myself in humour. I knew a lot about the humans after living among them for so long.
I didn't bother to look up as the bell above the door chimed as a group walked in. I didn't need to; I recognised the voices of the group from before, only there were more of them.
"Hey, isn't that the new student? Sa-er-Sarmis or something?" I heard a girl whisper. I continued to sit there, looking at the table in front of me, mentally annoyed that the girl who couldn't even say my name right. It's Sacmis for God's sake! It's not that hard!
"Yeah, but boy does she look different in that outfit!" Jou said in surprise.
"She looks so lonely; maybe we should sit with her and try to make friends with her." The girl whispered cheerfully. Ok now she's getting on my nerves. Why the hell would I want any of you to come over here and talk to me? I don't know you!
"Here's your drink." I heard a bright and friendly voice say next to me. I snapped back into reality and looked up, smiling sweetly at her again.
"Thank you." I said in my politest voice as I took the drink she offered and put to down on the table. She walked away, and my gaze fell down to the group by the door. Noticing that I'd spotted them, they smiled cheerfully at me. I smiled politely and nodded my head to let them know I acknowledged them...well, I was only looking at the girl with short brown hair and the blond boy, but you get the picture...and then turned away quickly back to my table.
I drank my drink deeply as I heard the group approaching. Oh just perfect, just what I needed. What could I have done to deserve this? I must have been a serial killer in my previous life or something. I growled to myself, so quietly no one else could hear. If the God's get the impression I'm becoming to involved with humans then they'll drag me back to their realm! The deal was to be as inconspicuous as possible, live among them but little interaction...hey I know it sounds odd but they were paraniod of the humans figuring out my secret...yeah like the modern generation was going to figure out I was a child of the Egyptian Gods. Humans are smart, but not all that open.
"Hey." A girl's voice said loudly. I glanced up at the group to realised they had indeed gotten bigger. "Can we sit with you?" I looked back to the table and shrugged.
"It's a free country." I said quietly. They all sat down, the girl first so she could move around the booth to sit next to me. I was careful to move a little so we weren't touching but she didn't seem to notice. Those who didn't get a seat grabbed a couple of chairs and sat at the opening. The waitress was back and took their orders. I felt way more than one pair of eyes on me as I sat there looking down. And I don't bean just openly looking; I really mean glaring at me. I didn't want to look at any of them so I didn't notice who they were. The girl turned towards me, mouth open and about to overflow with chatter, when I noticed one of the boys.
Two boys had tri-coloured hair. The younger looking one had pale skin, looked skinny and weak with gravity defying hair that was spiked up. His hair was black with crimson tips, a golden fringe that flicked out to the side and a small bang in the centre of his forehead that hung there that looked in the shape of a lightning bolt. He had large innocent eyes like a child, and a sweet look about him.
The other one beside him could have been his older brother. He was the one staring at me. He had beautiful eyes of a deep purple like the other one, only his had such depth I thought I could get lost. Yeah I know, cheesy but hey it was truthful. His eyes were smaller and more curved rather than rounded his cheek bones obvious, a strong looking jaw, tempting lips... His hair was also large and spiked up with crimson tips, but he had golden streaks in the shape of lightning bolts. He had the same small fringe as the other but without the cute little bang. The biggest was in they're bodies. The older one was golden tanned with muscles that could make any girl swoon. And I'm talking wimpy or even huge bulky creepy muscles either! I mean a real genuine hottie! …He looked exactly like…
I quickly stood.
"I would love to stay and chat, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm sorry!" I said in a low quiet voice, only looking at the ground. I quickly turned, put more money than really necessary on the counter and legged it out the door. I didn't stop running until I slammed the door shut tight behind me and locked it. I then leaned back on the door of my large apartment and let the shock and pain take me.
My legs shook as violently as before, and they gave in quickly. I slid down the door to land softly on the ground, staring at nothing. My heart was pounding so fast in my chest that I thought it was going to break my ribs, the thumping sounded like thunder against my eardrums.
I-it was really Him! It was really the Pharaoh!
It was really...Atem.
I felt like I was slipping into shock. My one true love, my reason for wanting humanity, the only one who really knew me for who I was and loved me for it, was here.
How? Why? There was only one group who could answer that, and it wasn't going to be pretty. I took a deep breath and stood up. There's only one thing to do. For they're sakes it just better not be for what I think it is!
I shakily made my way to my room, laying myself down on my back, breathing deeply, closed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest like how Egyptian Pharaohs laid when they were buried in their tome awaiting eternal slumber. It wasn't long before I saw the bright white light of the afterlife. I sighed lightly as I headed up towards it.
"Now mother, time to answer a few questions." I said to myself in a growl. I was determined to stay until I found out what I was looking for, but first, I had to go through the other Gods.
Rose:now see, that wasn't so bad-
Yami:why do you have to be such a big headed, selfcentred jerk to my friends all the time?
Seto:when are you going to shave your stupid hair?
Rose:shut the hell up the both of you!
Egypt:come guys, calm down. And don't be mean Seto, a lot of girls like Yami's hair, myself included.
Seto:only because you have a crush on him! (smirking) (Egypt smacks him on the back of the head while blushing)
Egypt:Yami's right, you can be a jerk.
Rose: (LMAO) please review!
