She became distant.

She stayed away from everyone in the palace.

Ever since the nightmare. She caged herself in her room. Using her magic to lock the doors and windows.

She wouldn't eat or drink anything. She became pale but not loosing weight.

She was frightened to even sleep. Afraid of having the same nightmare again.

And that caused heavy bags under her eyes.

For a whole week was the last time Atem or anyone who saw her last.

Luna became curious about her sister's actions and wanted to know the problem.

But no answer.

Atem was WORRIED SICK!!! Everyday he would go to her room to beg her to open the door and let him in. But all in vain.

The council and Atem also noticed Igma's actions.

Whenever they asked him her dreams ,he will quickly make a excuse and leave.

Isis tried to know by using her item but something was always blocking her.

Well screw it! They were going to get answers from Igma whether he liked it or not.

The next day, Igma was carrying some papyrus to the library, when suddenly a hand grabbed him from behind and dragged him to a room.

He gasped and summersaulted out of their grip and stood on a fighting stance.

Hey, he was a guard.

To his surprise, he saw the Pharaoh and the council. And they didn't look happy.

"P... Pharaoh.... " Atem frowns more. "I mean Atem..... What is going on? "

Isis stepped forward. "You know clearly of what is going on. Igma, why are you keeping us in the dark? "

Igma just blinked confused.

Seto growls. "What is wrong with your sister?! "

Immediately, Igma paled. Not this again!!

Igma placed a fake calm face. "As you all know, she just had a nightmare that....."

"A nightmare that is scaring her to death! "Seto roared.

Igma rolled his eyes. But to be honest, he was worried sick.

They found out that he could dream a nightmare of what his sister will dream...... And that dream also scared him.

Mahad walked to him. "Igma please, we need your help in this. You are the only one who knows of what she is suffering. "

Igma faced Isis. "Can't she do it? "

Isis looked down. "I tried but I can't get through. "

"Then I'm not of use then. "and with that, he turns to leave.

"Igma!! You can't just leave! We need your help. Or maybe you just don't care about your sister after all. " Atem roared.

That left a huge tick mark on Igma's forehead. His shoulders began to shake viciously.

"How dare you?! Who do you think you are telling me that I don't love my sister?! If you haven't seen it, I too worry about her!!! SO DONT YOU SAY I DONT CARE ABOUT HER!!!"

He yelled so hard the room almost shook.

They stared at him shocked. They haven't seen him so angry before.

Noticing what he did, he slammed his mouth.

"I have to go. I have things to do. "
Before he could take a step, Atem pinned him to the wall.

"Igma, you are not going anywhere. Not until you tell me what is wrong with Luciana. Trust me. I am getting really impatient right now! I want to know what is wrong with my queen! And I want it now!!! "

"My Pharaoh! " they pulled him away from the young new priest. "Let me go! I demand you release me right now!! You will tell me Igma! You are not going anywhere until you do!!! "
Atem shouted  with tears in his eyes as they held him tight.

He just wants to know, is it so much to ask?

Boy was he strong!!!

Suddenly, Igma broke into tears. Shocking the others. "You.... You wouldn't understand. You won't understand...... "

They looked at him confused.

"Luciana....... She has suffered for so long...... You won't understand what she is going through. You just wouldn't. "

Atem calmly free himself and walks to him. "Then tell me....... Tell me.... So that I can understand better. "

Not looking at Atem's face, he could tell that he really wanted to know. Then it's time to come clean.
                             *********
"There you have it...... That's what happened."

They stared at him shocked... Way past shocked.

Atem fell on his knees. "What....? "

Seto just couldn't find the right words to say.

Isis placed a hand on her mouth in shock.

Mahad just couldn't believe this.

"You mean...... She..... She.. "

Igma stood up. "Now you know....... I hope you have gotten your answer..... Now I will take my leave....... But Atem... "

Atem faced him. And saw his death glare.

"Don't you ever say that I don't care about my sister. Mark my words, I won't forgive you for it. "

Atem hasn't felt so frightened in all of his life. He shivered as he watched him leave.

"So... What do we do now? "Isis asked breaking the silence.

Atem looked down, defeated. "I don't know.... I just dont know. "
