Queen Cleopatra was laying in her golden tub, with the biggest king cobra snake with her, crawling slowly with its scaley skin inching up her bronze toned arm. The beautiful Cleopatra grew tired of living, due to she couldn't choose between the two lovers of hers that gave her the compassion to live.

There was Mikel, the Prince of The Giza Pyramids, who was shy, sweet, and a charming lover. And then there was Franco, who was a strong warrior from her fathers army of the Ivory Elephants from the Pyramids of Turambo. He was strong, bold, and very mysterious, which intrigued Cleopatra greatly.

They were both caught in a mad circus of Cleopatra's rare, but bountiful love, which caused so much trouble in her Kingdom. War was going on because Cleopatra had decided to love, which was not allowed of a Queen of her royal stature. As Cleopatra sat waiting for the snake to bite her, she continued to lay back, and wonder how so many things had went wrong in her once calm kingdom.

"Alas, I can no longer run the kingdom, but atleast it shall be somewhat better without my foolishness to continue to destroy what is left of its shining glory." She said closing her eyes, listening to the snake slither its tongue and hiss in a devilish sound.

"And I hope you continue to survive my loves, Mikel and Franco. I love you so..." Cleopatra managed to whisper before the cobra striked quickly and bit its sharp fangs into Cleopatra's shining bronze neck, now dripping with crimson death.

As she lay there dying with her eyes rolling to the back of her head, body convulsing with a deathly rhythm, she saw flashes of her two lovers, Mikel and Franco, giving her the love and attention she longed for on her lonely throne. She finally stopped moving, laying beautifully dead in her golden tub, with the cobra still slithering on her dead corpse.

As if they were warned, Franco and Mikel ran into Queen Clepatra's room, to find her lifeless body. "No Cleopatra!" Mikel yelled about to rush over to her before Franco stopped him.

"No Mikel! There is a cobra in there with her. I shall kill it with my spear." Franco said as he got his spear and steadied it in his hand. He carefully threw it, piercing the cobra with the spear. He made sure it was dead, and then proceeded over to Cleopatra, taking her hand and clutching it.

"My dearest Cleopatra, you had my heart. And now that you lay dead, my heart has died with you." Franco said, with one tear rolling down his battled scarred face. Mikel walked over to the tub as well, stroking Cleopatra's hair.

"As Franco has mentioned, my heart belonged to you and now it is as dead as you lay now." Mikel said, crying as well.

"Mikel, we cannot continue to fight, for our dearest Cleopatra would not wish for us to continue this way."

Franco looked at Mikel with saddened eyes. "I agree Franco, we must end our bickering, for our Queen Cleopatra..."

Mikel looked right at Franco. Queen Cleopatra has been killed, by the confusion and hurt of a torn love, between Mikel and Franco...
