Fire And Desire

The Memory

~Desire's POV~

"Quit playing with your damn glasses and cut the deck would you Burns? " Questioned one of the Americans in the other group. Daniels?  I think that was his name. "Without my glasses I can't see the deck to cut it now can I Daniels?" Questions another one whom I'm guessing is Burns. There was a group of four men sitting around a table gambling. One of them being Johnathan. "O'Connells. Sit down. We could use a few more players." Johnathan stated and I'm guessing he was losing. "We only gamble with our lives.  Never our money." Me and Rick stated in unison.  I looked at Rick we smirked together. "Never? What if I was to bet you $500 we get to Hamunaptra before you?" Questioned Daniels. "You're looking for Hamunaptra?" I asked. " You sure bet we are. " Retorted the other one Henderson. "What makes you think we are?" Asked Rick. "He told us." They said simultaneously pointing to Johnathan who chuckled nervously when we looked at him. "Well? How 'bout it? Is it a bet?" Daniels urges. "Alright" Rick starts "You're on" I finished.

"What makes you so confident?" Questions Dr. Allen. "What makes you? " I retorted. "We've got us a man who has actually been there" States Henderson smugly. "Well what a coincidencence because the O'Connells-" He was cut off by Rick hitting him with how weapons sack. "Gentlemen it seems we have ourselves a wager." I announced as Rick squeezed Johnathan's shoulder before we left.

Rick dropped his weapons on the table that Evelyn was sitting at, startling her. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. " Rick apologized cheekily. " The only thing that scares me Mr.  O'Connell is your manners." She retorted. "Still angry about that kiss I see." Rick replies. "If you call THAT a kiss." She commented. "Kiss? When did this happen?" I asked. "When I was in the prison." Rick answers as he pulls out his weapons sack.  I tune out the rest of their conversation as I sit down and looked out into the water. It look so calm and was so quiet.

"Desire" A voice called out to me.

I've heard that voice before. I seemed so close yet so far away. I feel like I've know that voice from a long time ago but is still so new to me like I've just heard it.

"Desire"  It called out again before I was pulled into what seemed like a dream.

~Flaskback~

I looked down and found I was in this beautiful Egyptian dress. I was standing by a fountain in what looked like a garden.  The garden was huge filled with the most beautiful flowers.  I still looked into the water in the fountain. It looked like me. Suddenly I felt a pair of strong arms snake their way around my skin waist.  I turned in the arms with a warm smile and was met with the handsome face of the man of my dreams.  Literally. He pulled me into a soft but passionate kiss. My arms found their way around his neck as I melted into the kiss. We pulled away breathless. I had no control over my actions as always but I loved it.

"I have to go my love. Father has asked to speak to me." I said sadly. "I understand My Fire." He sighed out sadly. "I shall see you soon. " He continues. "So you shall." I said with one last kiss. "Come Nomti. Come Dalila." I called to my pet jaguars. Together we walked into the palace to speak to father.

~Time skip~

"You wished to see me father." I announce as I walked into the throne room with Nomti and Dalila. "Yes my dear. Come." He beckoned me to come to him. " Anck-Su-Namun has informed of something important. Something you have been keeping from me." He stated with a blank expression. "What is it? " I question in worry. "You and Imhotep have been seeing each other romantically. " He stops and stares at me. "I-I-I can exp-" I tried not being able to choke the words out  but was cut off. "Desire." He said but was ignored.  "Father I love him. He loves me." I tried to reason. "Enough!" He bellowed and I put my head down trying to hide my tears. He sighs. " Bring me Imhotep." He orders the guards.

"You summoned me Pharaoh." Imhotep states as he walked in bowing  followed by the guards.He sees me with my head down crying. He looks at me with worry and I can tell he wants to come and comfort me. He has to tear his eyes away from my crying form to look at my father again. "Yes. I have been informed that you have been romantically involved with my eldest daughter." My father states looking at him. "Yes. I have but you have to understand we love each other." He tried to reason. "Silence." My father ordered. "I will allow this relationship." My father states smiling. "Really?" Me and Imhotep asked as I wiped my tears. "Yes. Even a blind man can see how much you love one another. I have been trying to marry you off but no one has caught your eye. Now I know why. I trust Imhotep with my life. I shall trust him with my little girl." He smiled softly at me. "Oh thank you father." I exclaimed hugging him. I then hugged Imhotep. " I love you." I whispered to him softly. "As do I My Fire." He whispers back. I see out of the corner of my eye and see my father's mistress glaring at me as I lean in to kiss my soon-to-be husband.

~Flashback Ends~

I was pulled out of my daze by a worried looking Rick shaking me slightly. "You alright D?" He asked concern lacing his voice. "Yeah. Just tired.  I gonna go to the room and get some rest." I stated standing. "Yeah. You should get some rest." He stated. With that I left. Unaware of the dangers lurking on this very boat.
