I woke up in my bed. " Where am I ? What happened ?" I got up to see where my husband is, when I found a scroll on the table. I opened it and it had hyrogrphics. It read: 'Forgive me for putting that spell on you. I couldn't resist such a temptation, as yourself. Meet me in the alley way tonight. I must see you again.' " I can't possibly go. What will the pharaoh think ? I must not bring any attention to myself. I will have to sneak out."

*Later that night*

I covered myself with a black coak. I jumped over the wall and secretly passed the guards. I finally made it to the alley way. " Where is he ?" The sand below my feet started swirling and then the guy appeared. " Hello, my highness. " he said with a slight bow. " Tell me who you are or I will report you. " " If you must know, I am the God Atum. I have come back for you, your majesty. " " Come back for me ? I'm sorry Atum, but...." " Call me Michael. " " Michael,  you must have the wrong queen. I never meet you before." I said. " You don't remember ? Long ago ?" " No." " Remember the time when we fell in love, we were young and innocent then." " I'm sorry. And if you were really Atum, why come back for me ?" " Cause we are supposed to be together forever." " Then what happened ?" " The ten plagues of Egypt had wiped everything out." " Then where was I ?" " That's the thing, your highness. No one knows what happened to you, but me. Would you like me to show you ?" " Yes." He took me by the hand and the sand around us started swirling again. I closed my eyes. " You can open them, princess." " Wow." We were standing in the middle of a beautiful chamber. It had gold trimings and Anbus stautes holding fire. " Welcome to my home, your highness." " It's beautiful. " " Not as beautiful as you. Come here, I wanna show you something." He brought me out on the balcony. It was a breathtaking sight. The pyramids were off in the distance with the full moon casting shadows across the sand. " Just on the other side of those pyramids is where you and the pharaoh live, but no one can get over them."" Why did you bring me here ?" " To show you this. " He gestured to a wall with a story on it, in hyrogriphics. " See that's us, right there. But then the plague started, wiping everything out. You have been taking by Ramsey and held as captive. He even made you queen, so you can forget about me. Now do you remember those times ?" I looked at the wall. It was slowly coming back to me. I walked over to Michael and kissed him. It caught him off guard, but he kissed back. " Ssssss.....ow!!" "What's wrong ?" He lifted his shirt and there was a large cut. " Oh my ra! What happened ?" " When your guards came after me, they cornered me. But before I could get away one of them cut me." " Here." I helped him into the bed. Then I started cleaning up his wound. " Hold still, this might hurt a little." " It already feels better. Thank you." " So Michael,  what do we do about Ramsey ?" " Ummm...we will have to see what he does." " Oh. It's almost dawn. I must go back." "  No!! You can't.  I need you here. Please stay with me. It gets lonely here." " Ok. I'll stay." I climbed into bed with him. It was a soft bed. "*yawn* Pardon me." " You look sleepy. You want to rest here ?" " If you don't mind."  I took off my crown and sashel. Michael had taken off his shirt since there was blood on it. He wrapped his arms around me. Ramses never did this to me, let alone be in the same room as me. I cuddled up to Michael. I felt something poke me from behind, so I reach over and touched Michael's "snake". When I touched him, I heard him gasp. I turn to look at him. " Don't wake up the snake. It took me forever to him asleep." Michael said pulling me closer. We drifted off to sleep.
