"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light. She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance. --- DISCLAIMER: this story is NOT historically accurate. It does not take place in any real time period and therefore there will be inaccuracies and areas that don't make sense in the context of "ancient Egypt." CONTENT WARNING: though this story is not explicit (sexual or otherwise), it does mention more mature themes that may be troubling to some readers, including but not limited to forced prostitution and miscarriage. cover by @Addietay

Authour's note: this story is on temporary hiatus until further notice due to impending doom of writer's block. "She was not from this time. Royal blood coursing through her body. Her perfection fit for a goddess. She is a goddess, I her King and she my Queen..." No King is a King without his Queen. The soon to be Pharaoh of Upper Egypt needed to find himself a bride. With him being the only child of the current Pharaoh, he was expected to marry the princess from Lower Egypt therefore, joining the two lands which he would have control over. He would not marry her. She was not the one the gods were leading him to. He vowed that he would rule alone and if he dies before his rightful Queen arrives, he shall rise and time shall repeat itself and he will, with his Queen rule over Egypt! A vow made hundreds of years ago, told by the old to their grandchildren and by parents to their children. To most it was a myth, to some it was just a legend waiting to happen... But in this age? The 21st century? Watch the story unfold... A modern tale with an ancient twist... Pharaoh's Queen.

I was only a young thing when I heard the story of Vlad the Impaler. But now, he is known as Dracula, to almost all. My mother used to tell me that it was only a story, that there was no such man to ever have existed, "Like a silly old myth. A legend that was drawn out through the ages of time, twisted and mangled until it was unrecognizable." she'd say to me. Of course I would almost believe her, but when she wasn't around my father and brother's would convince me otherwise. I'd love hearing their stories, their tales of adventures with knights and kings and lost treasures. But when darkness struck over the lands and devoured everything in black we turned to myths, stories and tales to comfort and aid us in our search for peace. With the little knowledge my village contained we were exposed to dangers and open to attacks. We were weak and had nothing to turn to for guidance. But Dracula was one of those stories that we turned to for guidance. But in our search for salvation, for freedom of wicked things we found ourselves confronted with a dark force that we did not think that we would ever truly face again. All had heard the tale of his becoming, of his creation. But not all had heard his true story, his life story of how he became to be called Dracula and be known for cruelty. Each person saw him as a danger, a threat to life and wished him dead or otherwise thought him just a story to tell children into scaring them into bed at night. I believe those wicked stories, those terrible ideas of limitless power and identity to last through the ages. Sometimes, as a girl, I would feel that he would be there watching me play with my brothers. Watching me grow up into a woman, learning, dancing, singing like someone of youth would do during work. But I was always reminded that it was silly and childish to think of a character watching me from a distance like a wild cat. But could he be actually there?

I'm so not normal. I'm an Empath. I feel emotions of others. I'm apparently a very rare category of ''Supernatural Beings'' according to the school called The Avalon Institute For Supernatural Beings. God that's a mouth full. I found out that not only do a very few others like me exist, there are also, Movers, Thinkers and Shifters. One particular Shifter has gotten under my skin and just my luck he's on top of the bloody food chain. He's a Goddamn Tiger. But he elicits emotions in me that I can't believe I can feel. What's this about a... 'mate' again? Welcome to The Avalon Institute For Supernatural Beings. And just my luck, after I enter, shit hits the fan.
