Duel of Love
Chapter 16:
Admittance
I wanted to tell
him without stammering…I wanted to say I loved him perfectly. So… when I got up the next morning, he was
gone of course, I faced out the window and began to practice…looking into a
small mirror that was in my room and began to try again and again.
“I l…love you!” I
said and then hit my head on the wall, “N…no…that won’t do!”
“I love y…you!” I
exclaimed…why can’t I say it without stumbling over my words?
“I l…l…love…why
c…can’t I just say it?” I asked myself, setting the mirror down and sinking to
the floor, “I w…want to say it…why me?”
“What is it you
want to say?” I stood up, wiping my eyes and saw the Pharaoh standing in the
doorway, a smile on his face.
“I…I…” I
stammered.
“Don’t let me
stop you from practicing whatever it was you were practicing,” he said with a
grin, “I only just heard the last part though…maybe I can help…what are you
trying to say?”
“N…Nothing
important…” I stammered.
“It has to be
important if you need to practice it,” he said, coming up to me, “What were you
trying to say?”
“I was j…just…I mean it w…was
nothing important!” I said, “I’m s…sorry…”
“I have a
guess…but I won’t say it aloud…” he said, a smile on his face, “but if you have
something to say I suggest you say it to whoever you need to say it to…not a
mirror…”
“Yes…” I said, “I
k…know…”
“Good then…do you
need more time to practice or would you like to join me for breakfast?” he
asked, a broader smile on his face and I turned red. I knew I was really red and I couldn’t
control it…
“F…fine!” I said
and walked around to join him, “I’m a l…little hungry…”
“That’s good…” he
said, offering his hand. What if Seto
were to see this? Oh Ra… what was I
going to do? I wanted to tell him…say it
perfectly…but Seto…how was he going to react…if he knew… What was going to
happen?
High Priest Seto
There was a
knocking at the door and I wondered who would be disturbing my restful
meditation. I walked towards the door
and opened it, only to be looking into the eyes of High Priestess Isis.
“I’ve had a
vision High Priest Seto,” she said, “I must talk to you…”
“Aren’t all
visions meant to be reported to the pharaoh?” I asked irritably.
“This one is
meant for you and you alone…” she said, “You may not like what I have to
say…but I must say it nonetheless…”
“I don’t want to know
what it is about…” I said, “I just have this feeling it has to do with the
pharaoh and his affections towards…”
“High Priest
Seto,” she began, speaking softly yet dangerously, “Listen to what I have to
say…it is something you must know…”
“I’m not meant to
be with her, right?” I asked, growling at her, “That’s what you’re hear to tell
me, isn’t it?”
“May I come in?”
she firmly repeated, “I will say nothing until I am allowed in…”
“You are
stubborn…” I said, relenting into her demands, “Come on in…but I know what
you’re going to say…”
Priestess Katiana
“I c…can’t say it
properly…this isn’t good…” I stuttered as I sat in the library, head in my
hands, “I w…want to impress him…” I also
wanted to feel better about myself by saying it properly the first time, but I
just couldn’t do it! I wanted to make it
special… have it feel special. I didn’t
want to mess it up…Seto told me people didn’t take me seriously because of my
stutter, and I didn’t want to sound like a fool… but it probably wouldn’t even
matter to him… he wouldn’t care but it mattered to me! I wanted to say it properly… I never asked for anything before…never ever
in my life, this is the only thing I want…my only wish.
“I w…wish,” I
began, “I wish I c…could say it…”
…
I waited in the
gardens, I didn’t know why but I was feeling like I had to. I felt like I had to…and there was nothing
else that could explain it.
“Miss Katiana…so
you’re here.” I turned to see the
pharaoh coming towards me. Was this what
I had been waiting for?
“My pharaoh,” I
said as he sat down next to me.
“My princess,” he
said raising his hand and gripping my chin.
Had he just called me his princess?
He leaned forward for a kiss and I pulled away, he looked at me oddly,
but nodded slightly and backed off and asked if anything was wrong.
“No,” I said.
“Ah, I see…you
don’t want to be kissed…is it because you don’t feel anything…or is it because
you haven’t responded to me yet? I know
you want to…” he said, “I’ve said it…what more do you want?”
“B…But,” I began.
“I don’t care if
it’s not proper or right! I don’t think
love cares about that!” he exclaimed.
“I…I lo…” I
began, but I still can’t say it!
“What will it
take…to get you to love me unless you really don’t…tell me you don’t love me
and I will move one…get married and start my life…It’ll be hard…but I can do
it… I know I can…” he said, getting down on his knees and placing his hands on
my legs. I want to tell him…I want to
say it without stuttering.
“I…I l…l…” I
began and stopped, and he looked at me, unsurprised.
“Speechless as
usual I see…” he said, disappointment strewn across his face.
“I…I lo... I…” I stopped myself again.
“I don’t
understand you anymore,” he said, “I don’t think I ever did, did I? I guess you truly are High Priest Seto’s…even
if you seem to hate him…”
“I l…lov…” I
still couldn’t say it! Ra…please let me
say it! The pharaoh stood and kissed my
hand.
“I guess I shall
move on then,” he said, “I look forward to your completed work at translating
the tomes.” There were tears in his
eyes…I didn’t want that…I didn’t want him to cry. I love you!
He began to walk away from me.
Don’t go! I just…I just wanted to
say it without stuttering…just for the first time.
“I LOVE YOU!” I
exclaimed, standing and he paused in his walked, turning and facing me, tears
staining his eyes, “I love you…” Thank
the gods, I said it…I had said it.
Please… come back…please come back here…
Don’t turn away from me…don’t…please…I said it…I said it…I meant every
word.
“…” he said
nothing, pausing as if in indecision…please come back to me…
“Pharaoh…” I
began and then looked down.
“…” he didn’t
respond, but he began to turn. No,
please don’t go! Please don’t go…
“Please,” I
begged as my tears began to fall. He
continued to walk…walk away and I let my tears fall. Please don’t go… He disappeared from my sight…and I fell to
the ground…why…why? I love you my
pharaoh…I love you…Atemu…
Unknown
It was time…both
of them in love and despair…perfect…the pharaoh didn’t know how to respond once
she admitted her feelings…just as she didn’t know… This was most entertaining… But all fun must end and so the pharaoh shall
now know true suffering…the most important person in his life…gone…
“Did he hurt you,
walking away like that?” I asked as I approached her and she turned a tear
stained face towards mine, “I was watching…the entire conversation…”
“…” she didn’t
respond and I didn’t expect her to. I
began to focus my energy and power and she fell asleep and I caught her as she
fell. It was so easy…too easy. She was such a simple child…
“I am almost
ashamed to use such innocence…almost…” I said, scooping her up in my arms and
walked to leave the way I had come. I
could steal anything…and this just proved it.
Atemu (Yami)
She…she had said
it…and I had walked away… I had walked
away. No…why… why did I do that? I stopped mid step and turned myself
around. I began to run back to the
gardens, why had I been such a fool?
Only a fool would have done what I just did.
“Miss Katiana!” I
exclaimed, emerging in the gardens, “Miss Katiana!” I looked around but she wasn’t near the bench
anymore…she wasn’t anywhere around here!
Miss Katiana…my princess…where are you?
…
I checked the
library and even her room, the kitchens and any room I passed by. I think I made people feel a bit nervous
because I hadn’t done anything like this before… but I wanted to see her… I had
to apologize…I loved her…and she said…she said she loved me…
“My
Pharaoh…you’re acting quite odd…” a familiar voice said and I turned to face
High Priest Seto.
“Ah, um…High
Priest Seto…” I said, caught off guard.
“Is something the
matter? I came here to see Katiana…” he
began. He seemed changed somehow…as if
someone had done or said something that made him different.
“We were talking
earlier and I had left for a moment but she wasn’t in the gardens where we had
talked…” I trailed off.
“So then where is she?” he asked.
“I’ve looked
everywhere for her, but she isn’t here…she isn’t at the temple?” I asked.
“She wasn’t there
when I left,” he said, “Where is she?”
“Calm down…she
might be in the city…” I said gently, “But I had only just walked away for a
moment…”
“Could something
have happened to her?” he asked. I had
never seen High Priest Seto like this…he was acting so unreasonable.
“High Priest,
calm down, don’t worry. If she’s not
back soon I’ll send out guards to search the city for her…” I said. I was the one in love with her and I wasn’t
overly worried yet…yet.
“But…” he began
and then he steadied himself, “Alright…I await your orders…but we better find
her…”
“I don’t think
she would have just gone off without telling someone…” I said although silently
I was repeating in my mind she ran off ashamed that I had actually turned my
back to her and walked away, as if I had been denying her, “She probably wanted
to get away from me…”
“What do you mean
pharaoh?” he asked, “She wouldn’t do something like that… were you rude to her
and hurt her again?”
“Yes,” I said,
“This time there was no one to blame but me…”
“I don’t think
she would have gone out into town by herself…not without telling someone…” he
said, ignoring my previous comment as he probably didn’t want to hear it and it
didn’t matter at the moment.
“I don’t think
she wanted to worry us…” I said, trying to think of logic.
“She has never
once not told me if she was going to go somewhere…” he said, “She’s been taken
by someone, we have to find her…”
“How do you
know?” I asked, “How do you know she’s…”
“We don’t have
much time…” he said.
“How do you know
this?” I asked, “High Priest Seto I order you to tell me!”
“High Priestess Isis came to see me
today…” he began slowly, “And she told me someone was after Katiana…”
“Did she say anything else?” I
asked.
“The other things
she told me were for my ears alone, and if you had arguments with that you would
take it up with her…” he said firmly.
“I see…” I said,
“Very well then, where do we begin?”
“Call a patrol
and search this city…I think we’re looking for a thief…” he stated.
“Miss
Katiana…what could he want with her?” I asked, wondering where all this was
coming from. He had never acted like
this before…what had High Priestess Isis have told him?
“Revenge…” was
all the reply I needed before I realized who had Miss Katiana…
Unknown
She woke slowly,
bound and chained to the rock I had attached her to. She wasn’t gagged, just bound.
“You are such a
pretty little thing…not beautiful…but pretty…” I said, trailing a finger down
her cheek, “I wonder what he sees in you…”
She looked at me with pretty, frightened eyes.
“W…What do you
want?” she asked.
“You’re stammer
is so adorable…makes you sound like a little child…I may want to have my way
with you before this is over,” I said leaning in close and she turned her head
away from me. I backed up a step and
slapped her across the face. It was too
easy; the tears began to flow from her eyes.
“…” she didn’t
respond to me.
“Are you
frightened…you know no one will come for you…” I coaxed, “You’re all alone…left
to suffer…”
“W…Why?” she
asked and I slapped her once again.
“Don’t ask such
stupid questions child!” I yelled, “Your soul may have shattered the last time
but you’ll get no such relief here…you will realize everything that happens to
you and you will beg for death…” I
laughed and pulled a dagger from my belt and her eyes went wide.

the characters are a little OOC but hey…it’ll all make sense… Seto’s sudden
change… everything…just be patient…I have a storyline, don’t worry…
