Unwrapped (Creatures Bride Series #1)

The Beginning

This is my first time writing a story. I was very intrigued by Mummy's after watching all of the Mummy movies recently. I got my inspiration from them. Thank you for reading and let me know how I am doing!!

1287 BC

Thebes, Egypt

A young girl was quickly walking through the halls of the great gold palace trying to be unseen from the Medjai. Servants were not allowed to be out and about this time of night and were to be in their quarters preparing for the next day. The wind was strong this clear night, causing her white shift dress to blow in the breeze. A slight shiver arose over her but she kept going. Trekking along the path to her secret spot.

When she arrived in the garden, someone was waiting for her.

This, someone, was the love of her life. A forbidden lover. One that could never be known to the world.

Taking a moment to look at her lover she still couldn't believe that he loved her as much as she loved him.

With the torches lit around the garden, she was able to see his blue eyes, glowing from a face that was sun-bronzed and savagely hard. Flat cheekbones, a nose that was straight, lips that were sensual but just a tad bit thin. He appeared lean and tall, but even with his back to her, she could see his muscles flex every time he moved. When he turned to her she was caught in his predatory stare. Then he smiled. Wearing a white silk shendyt that was woven by herself, with a jeweled belt around his waist and sandals that wrapped up his leg, he was magnificent.

"Amun," Came her whisper in the night.

With that whispered name the two lovers ran and met in the middle, wrapping their arms around one another. It was moments like this that were precious to one another. For they were few and far between lately.

For her lover was the Prince of Egypt and she a lowly servant of the house. With his father's failing health, it was his duty to be more active in the daily life of the Pharaohs to learn the ways.

"Aneksi. How I have missed you, my love," Amun whispered in her ear. They squeezed each other even tighter, wanting to prolong this moment, for it could be their last.

When they finally had their fill of holding one another, the pulled apart and stared into one another eyes. Deep blue meeting emerald green.

"I was afraid I would never be alone with you again. Seeing you each day but not allowed to look or touch you has been killing me," Aneksi whispered. Just then they heard a slight cough and whipped around to look at one of the entrances into the garden. It was then they could see a shadow of one of the Medjai. Quickly as not to be seen, Amun grabbed Aneski's hand and they ran to the other side and away from the garden.

"Amun where are we going, slow down," Aneksi whispered.

Amun looked back at her and kept going until they reached his chambers. They had to go through the secret door for in front of his chambers were servants waiting for their master to summon them.

Aneksi has only been in his chambers a few times in fear of being caught. His chambers were massive. Everything was covered in gold. From his bed lifted slightly on stilts to the pillars decorated with gold and jewels, there wasn't a doubt in her mind where she was right now. The only thing that made his chambers more enjoyable was the view. His room leads into a patio that overlooked the desert and the stars. The sky was clear and the stars that shine from the heavens illuminated the pyramids and Pharaoh's monument.
