The Scars of Love

They had finally reached their final destination and the girls all cheered and clapped happily. They worked as a team and together they became one. They were as happy as can be. It was like Heaven for them. They would be starting a new life and raising their own families. Even though some have stayed behind, their spirits will live on forever. Everyone entered the city as Akeyana stopped for a minute and looked up at the palace. She couldn't wait to see the Pharaoh and hopefully he will be pleased to see her. What he was doing? How he's been? What was he thinking? All these questions and more built up inside of Akeyana's head. Many people in the city came to greet Akeyana and her guests. They brought Akeyana all kinds of gifts. To them it seemed like she was gone forever.

The people seemed more friendlier this time. It took them a while to finally realize that Akeyana was not a thief or a crook. Of course they apologized for misjudging her and she forgave them. Even though the scars were gone the pain was still there. In a way she wanted to see the Pharaoh but, then a steady pain and anger increased inside of her. The vision of her tied to a pole and being whipped by the humongous guard in a black mask made her stare down the Pharaoh and his palace. She turned away and continued chatting with everyone. She looked around and she didn't see Yochiko, Rishad, or Marlene.

Akeyana was in tears as she gave them all a big hug. Even the guys were checking out her curvaceous figure which seemed to show frequently in her warrior outfit that she had made. After a few hours of hugs, kisses, and quick conversations, Akeyana hauled her things to her house. All of Akeyana's servants stayed at a hotel and Teania, Aria and her children, and the elderly woman stayed at Akeyana's house until they found a place to stay. After getting all they're things in the house it was almost night time. Akeyana and Aria decided to prepare a feast for everyone. Aria went to the market to buy the food and Akeyana went to the Nile to fetch the water.

Inside the Palace....

The Pharaoh was sitting on the throne when Shimon ran in to tell him of Akeyana's return. "My Lord, I have great news." Usually everyday goes by normally and nothing new really happens. "What is it?" The Pharaoh said in a heavy tone. "Akeyana has returned." The Pharaoh's heart skipped a beat. The Pharaoh stood up and headed to his chambers. Shimon knew where he was going but, he didn't stop him. He did however follow the Pharaoh. Seeing reunited lovers made him feel happy. The Pharaoh put on his brown cloak and left the palace. He hurried to the Nile with Shimon following close behind. Asenia looked upon the throne and the Pharaoh was no where to be found. She began to search around the palace until she heard two Priests chatting. They said the Pharaoh left the palace for a little while and Asenia felt a little angry. She pouted angrily and went upstairs and into her room
At
At the Nile...

Akeyana still had her warrior outfit on when she approached the Nile for some water. The Pharaoh sat quietly on the stone looking out into the ocean. Akeyana got some water and walked away. She stood behind the Pharaoh and removed his hood. "I figured it was you." Akeyana sat down next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Its been a while." said the Pharaoh as Akeyana held his hand. "Yeah I know but, I needed to get away." The Pharaoh wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him. "I understand. I missed you a lot." Akeyana giggled. "I missed you too. I'm sure everything has been going great for you." The Pharaoh smirked. "Sort of but its not the same without you." Akeyana began to play with his spiky hair, twirling each spike around her finger. "I know you probably have found someone by now." The Pharaoh chuckled at the thought of Asenia. "Yeah, her name is Asenia and she is a really nice girl." Akeyana tugged on his spikes a little. "She sounds like a keeper."

The Pharaoh grabbed her hands and pulled her onto his lap. "Are you jealous?" Akeyana rolled her eyes. "Why should I be? You've found a pretty lady and I'm happy for you." The Pharaoh knew she was trying to cover up her jealousy. "Yeah okay. I do love her but, she is not the only one I love." Akeyana put her hands on his ears messaging them gently with her fingers. "Well I know that. But, what I really want to know is do you love me?" The Pharaoh cupped her chin and gave her a kiss. She wrapped her arms around him as he pulled clo closer. She whimpered his name in between her lips letting out a low moan. She closed her eyes and held her head back as the determined Pharaoh softly kissed her neck not leaving a single spot untouched.

After a while, Aria had already returned home with the food and she began to wonder about Akeyana. Its been an hour so far and she still hasn't returned. The elderly woman kept the children entertained, Teania cleaned up the house and Aria left in search of Akeyana. The first place Aria looked was the Nile, when she saw Akeyana and the Pharaoh making out, she stood by watching for a few minutes. Then she slowly walked over and stood in front of them When they finally realized she was there, Akeyana hopped off his lap fixing her clothes. "Umm, Oh, I, Uh, Hi Aria." Aria laughed hysterically. "I'm not trying to disturb you guys but, Akeyana I really need that water that you were suppose to bring an HOUR ago." Akeyana began to blush really hard. "I'm sorry I just got into the moment." Aria picked up the pale. "You were about to get into the pants is what I saw. But, that's okay if you guys want to continue go ahead I'll be at home."

Akeyana and the Pharaoh stared at each other. "I think I'll come home with you Aria." The Pharaoh grabbed his brown cloak and gave Akeyana a kiss on the cheek. As he kissed her he handed her a cloth with a gift wrapped inside. "You just don't know how lucky you could have been Akeyana." The two girls walked away and headed towards home. "What do you mean Aria?" Aria looked up at the palace shaking her head. "You could have gotten laid by the finest, sexiest, and strongest Pharaoh in Egypt but you had to come home with me." Akeyana was still adjusting her little skirt. "I know but, we just got back and I really wanted to spend the rest of the time with you guys." They entered the home and the two girls went into the kitchen. Aria boiled the water and Akeyana began mixing up the food. "If I was in your shoes Akeyana, I probably would have been rolling around with him." The two girls laughed loudly.

Teania came down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Hey guys. I just finished cleaning up." Teania sat down and drank a cup of wine. "Thanks a lot Teania. Dinner will be ready soon." said Akeyana. Teania washed her hands and helped the girls with the food. "What took you so long Akeyana?" Aria bursts into laughter. "I was chatting with the Pharaoh." Aria continues to laugh and Akeyana slaps her upside the head. "Don't mind her Teania she has had WAY too much to drink." Teania nodded and continued to help. Aria finally calmed down and after a few minutes the food was ready. The girls made about 10 trips back and forth trying to bring all the food into the Dinning room. Everyone came to the table, blessed the food, and ate. They all talked, laughed, and reminisced about their journey.

After they all ate, Akeyana cleaned up, and every one else was trying to figure out where they were going to sleep. Akeyana sat outside on the porch looking at the Palace. The moon lit up its golden texture and reflected in the crystal waters of the Nile. Most of the Palace was pitch black and only a few parts were lit. She wished that she could talk with the Pharaoh some more but, something told her to wait. Friends, Lovers, Enemies. She didn't know what to think of him. Even though she finally made peace with some of the towns people, she still kept an eye out for anything suspicious. She unwrapped the cloth and a crystal flower was inside, along with a necklace. The necklace had a gold teardrop shaped jewel resting on a silver bottom with 3 loops going up each side of the gold teardrop jewel and finally forming a little silver heart at the top.

Akeyana was almost in tears as she placed the necklace around her neck. A little note was also wrapped in the cloth as well. It reads: "Friends Forever and Lovers for Eternity." She held the note close to her heart and slipped it down inside her top. "Thanks Yami." She said in a low tone. Akeyana went back into the house and read a little bit more of her spell book that she had bought from Ashta. After a while she fell asleep with the book still in her hand.

Inside the Palace....

The Pharaoh made his way up into his chambers and Asefollfollowed close behind. She has been hearing everyone talk about Akeyana's return but, she didn't have a clue as to who she was. When the Pharaoh entered his chambers he began undressing. Asenia stood in the doorway and she coughed to catch his attention. He turned around and waved at Asenia. "Who is Akeyana?" Asenia said in an angry tone. "Akeyana is just a friend." Asenia shut the door and walked away. "For you sake I hope she is." Asenia went into her room and slammed the door shut. She was really anxious to see who Akeyana was. She began to feel jealous and out of place making her become furious. Asenia wrote Akeyana's name down on a sheet of paper and then she lit it on fire.

Inside Akeyana's House...

Akeyana hopped out of bed all sweaty and hot. She was breathing really hard trying to catch her breath. She ran into the bathroom and put some cold water onto her face. Teania woke up and knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey Akeyana are you okay in there?" Akeyana stared into the mirror for a few minutes and then she opened up the door. "Yeah I'm fine Teania I just had a bad dream." Akeyana walked into her room and attempted to go back to sleep. She tossed and turned half the night feeling hot and sweaty. She got back up and went to the bathroom. After trying to gain balance for a few minutes she hit the sink and collapsed onto the floor. No one heard a sound.
