Day One

I sighed. Yesterday I woke to find myself a slave of this pharaoh, not that I've seen him. I just follows the other woman. I poured the wine for the priests. I run the Pharaoh's bath before he returned to his room and I cooked the meals. It wasn't that bad being a slave compared to what I heard. It's far better than the home. It's hard to think that's so far ahead. I wonder if I'm missed. I guess the home will look for a bit before thinking oh well it's just one less mouth to feed.

Day Two

I fold the robes I had just take off the line up before getting ready to carry them in with Panther, I think that's her name, I am still shocked about how much we got wrong about the Egyptians but we got enough right for me to blend in somewhat. After all I am very pale and my brown hair and eyes stand out due to my pale skin. I hate having to tie it up but I am meant to be a slave.

Day Three

I poured the Pharaoh's wine. He is a stunning person. Tan skin, blond, red and black hair spiked up and enchanting crimson eyes. He smiled as I bowed after pouring his wine.

"Is there anything else my Pharaoh?" I kept my left foot ahead of me as I place my hands in fount of my self. My head still bowed.

"Please stand fully and tell me your name" I hear whispers from the priests but knew if I didn't do the Pharaoh's request I'd be killed so I did so. I didn't look in his eyes and kept my hands in fount of me.

"My name is Aika my Pharaoh" he smiled kindly.

"Aika is a lovely name. Does it have a meaning?" I blushed slightly and nodded.

"It means love song my pharaoh"

Day four

I shook as the guard I had walked in to looked at me. I had just been Trying to take the houses their water when I walked into this guard. He was soaked from head to toe. I bowed asking for forgiveness.

"Forgiveness you foul slave how dare you! You should have looked where you was looking your in for a lashing if a life"

"Enough!" I blinked hearing a woman's voice.

"Lady Kisara, I was just"

"Abusing a woman! Young slave please return to your work you have done nothing to be punished for don't worry" I mumbled a thank you before running off.

Tears brimmed from my eyes as I run down the hall to the slave chambers. I had made a mistake. If this keeps up their going to kill me. Tears spilled down my face faster than I could whipped them away. I can't get home and I don't want to die.

Being a slave is hard.

Day five

"You slave!" I turn around and see one of the high priests. I believe he is called Seth. I heard a white haired woman call him that.

"Yes high priest." I bowed as low as I could to him, never meeting his eyes. I hear his foot steps coming closer.

"The Pharaoh would like to speak with you" I blinked as he forced me to stand up. I still refuse to look him in the eyes out of respect, after all I saw people being whipped for doing so. Being punished or making another mistake made me feel sick.

"Of course I shall go to him at once"

"Follow me, he's in the throne room"

As I walked behind Seth I felt emotions of fear filling me. Is he taking me to my death?

He pushed the doors open. I hear foot steps stop. As I walk in.

"Aika, thank you cousin please step outside." I see Seth nod and allow me to pass him before leaving and closing the door behind him. I bowed to Pharaoh as he walked over. "Please stand I want to talk to you about your work" I blinked opening my eyes and standing, his hand on my elbow pulling me up.

"My work? My Pharaoh I am a humble Slave I just"

"I'm giving you your freedom" I blinked when he cut over me to say that. He then smiled kindly. "It is the only way to higher you as my personal hand maiden."

Day Six

I shook as I knocked on his door trying not to allow the tray with his breakfast to shake. Today is my first day as his hand maiden. I can't understand why he gave me this job. I hear his tired voice say enter and pushed the door slightly. I bowed low before closing the door after me and turning to him. He was sat up in bed, he looked tired and naked with out his gold jewellery.

"My Pharaoh I have made your breakfast, I hope it's alright" He smiled slightly, causing me to blush.

"No, thank you Aika that was nice of you."

"I checked with Priest Seth, he said there is a meeting when Ra reaches your third window" it took me a while to get that the sun is called Ra and their timing ways.

"Yes another boring meeting. What are your jobs for the morning?" I blinked. It took a few seconds for me to register what he asked.

"I'll be cleaning your room and then I shall be making your lunch and bring it to you before washing your cloths then making your dinner. I can also run your bath if you would like"

"After dinner that would be nice thank you Aika. Please don't worry yourself to hard." I blushed again as I started getting his cloths out.

Day Seven

My first week. I smiled as I watched the stars after I had been dismissed for the night. "Wasn't bad for a girl who fell back in time" I whispered.

I can't wait to see what adventures are to come as I continue my life in Egypt.
