The story of my Egyptian life✔️

Chapter 19 (Read chapter with caution!)

The darkness around me felt like nothing, only cold and pity in the endless mass. It felt like I never existed, like I wasn't anything in the world. I was empty. I wanted to cry, to move, to thrash around, to at least scream for someone. Nothing came from me, and there was no me anymore.

I was helpless.

Then, something miraculous changed. I began to feel warm and alive again, blood running through my veins and my heart trying to beat. Air filled my lungs and my fingers moved. Light and purpose returned to me and I moved, able to see something.

Then pain.

It started in my stomach, and traveled down to the tips of my toes to the ends of my hair. I screamed and groaned as my bones felt as if they were breaking and fixing again, the whole process unbearable with quick succession. The light came closer and brought forth the most excruciating pain known.

My heart began to beat quickly and my eyes rolled in my head. Everything stopped soon and I finally opened my eyes to face reality. I was sweating and still suffering a mass amount of pain.

I groaned louder, my throat sounding like angry wasps. I began having a heart attack again and freezing hands tried to settle me down. Black spots covered my vision and I lifted my chest into the air once again, feeling all the pain suck away from me deep into the air.

Gasping for air, hands touched my throat and cleaned my sweaty and tear dried face. They spoke words to me I couldn't understand anymore and I didn't understand the things I was thinking. I spoke to them in a different language and sighed, knowing they didn't know what I meant and at the same time even I didn't.

"What happened?"I asked in ancient Egyptian to Thoth. He shook his head, not knowing what I meant. "What happened?!"I asked again, finally speaking English. "I don't know. It was a week before you woke up, Chike. Aphraim-" "I don't want to hear about that man now!"I screamed and sobbed, knowing that I had died and came back to life painfully because of him.

"He killed me."I said, calming down. Thoth stared at me sadly. "What will happen when I marry him?"I ask quietly. "Why were Osiris, Anubis, and you angry that I had to marry him?"I ask dangerously.

"For us to kill Aphraim, we would be killing you in the process, but not fully. It would be painful and long for you to come back from the duat, you would see what he sees and experience them as a vow to be his wife. You would have to be ravaged by him at night and shattered like no other. You would be living in and experiencing hell."he whispered.

I stared ahead, not caring about the pain anymore. "He was showing you what would happen if you were to kill him."he continued and I sat up slowly, like a ghost from the grave. "He can't hurt me already more than he has. He can't break me when I'm already broken. He can't do anything but watch as he sees what I have become."I said and stood up to take a flaming shower, my skin turning red at just touching it.

"Your body needs to learn how to adapt to its original state-" "I got it, Thoth!"I yelled and closed the door behind me, ripping off my clothes and washing up. I washed my hair and pulled on the locks, trying to calm myself down. I'm already broken, he can't break me again.

I wasn't fixed and never will be. I will not satisfy him in his assumptions. I got out the shower, grabbing a gold crop top and a pair of black jeans. Doing my makeup with major highlights and strong bold brows, I applied red lipstick. Wearing high heels and a long braid in my hair, I walked out of the room to meet the other gods lining up before me to Aphraim.

He stared at me with an arrogant smirk and I narrowed my eyes at him, then smiled to his surprise. I walked causally to him and he gasped quietly at my confidence.
