Love? Love.

Dance For Me

"Why me?? That is all I ever ask myself.."

*Flashback*

My hips swing back and forth. His eyes on me. Does he find me pretty? I'm here to do a show I'm no different than the others. But what if? Sway back and forth they say, I shake my chest to add a twist. His attention is on me. Oh dear God please. Pick me.

"Y/N? You've got heart and passion. You'd do well here. What do you say?" He grins pridefully.

"As you wish, Pharaoh." I walk up to him and bow. As I turn away I am stopped by him.

"Y/N, I'll have Mana take care of it. You are going to come with me.." He holds out a hand. I take it and we leave the room. We're heading to a garden? A private garden.

Green grassy meadows. Flowers that are unknown to me. Bright colors and fresh floral scents. Paradise. Why am I here?

"Dance for me." He said while he takes a set on a stone throne. "No one else can see but me, understand?"

"Uh, yes Phar-"he cut me off.
"It's Atem to you from now on. Now, strip down and dance for me. I will not say it again."

I tremble at his request yet I obey. He watches as I slowly remove each article of clothing until I am completely nude. He studies me. Eyes wondering. I start by swaying my hips, I dip down and roll up here and there.. My body bouncing around him. I cannot read him. Does he approve?

"Y/N, tell me about yourself." He said while he continued to watch my every move.

"I'm just a dancer... There is not much to know. May I ask why you care Atem? I'm nothing to you just some entertainment. I'm I not?" I reply emotionless.

"Did I not say I can only see you?" He seemed a bit angry. I did not answer. I just continued to dance.

*End of Flashback*

"I should have known there was something off about this. But I was so desperate.. I needed to prove myself. Or so I thought."
