I watched idely as Rikard scrubbed at the deck with the vinegar I smiled as he side glanced me his hazel eyes intensified into a forbidding stare as he began muttering what I thought to be curses under his breath which made me smile more
"that one there" he said pointing to Gallent "what did he do"
"he rowed" I told Limerick
"and that one" he asked pointing to Neon
"he climbs up to the top of the mast and I think he was the cabin boy at one stage" I said
"and that one" asked Limerick pointing to Rikard
"he's the captain" I said distatefully
but my stomach churned with nervousness Limericks eyes narrowed
"was he the one who invaded this ship and took you by force" he growled
not caring for the people who could hear him below I saw Rikard shoot me a worried glance as he stopped scrubbing Neon shot me a look along with Gallent I shook my head
"no he was the first mate before the captain died" I said quickly as Limerick reached for his sword
"okay" he said
pushing himself off the railing and down the stairs I sighed happily and rikard continued to scrub a small smile tugged at his lips
The guards grabbed me, forcing me to enter the room I didn't even want to be in. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be captured. And most of all I didn't want to see this mendacious pharaoh. I hated this man! Absolutely hated him. His eyes filled with intense hate as he stared at me. He looked at me with a bored expression on his face. "I thought I told you to bring me the rebel leader, not some vacuous little girl." Anger started boiling inside me. The guards were about to respond but I interrupted them. "Why Pharaoh! What makes you believe I am not the rebel leader?" He looked at me annoyingly."Well for one thing you're a girl" I was completely enraged! "How sexist! You think that just because I'm not a man I can't be a leader! People like you disgust me! It sickens me that I even looked up to you as a child! I idolized you! Followed you everywhere! Thought-" I quickly covered my mouth realizing I had said to much. This isn't how I imagined the situation when I finally saw him again. I couldn't control my anger around him. The pharaoh's board expression turned into a more interested one. "You talk as if we have met before but I have absolutely no clue who you are! By all means I'm interested.... What are you called?" This was really bad! If I told him my name he would kill all of my comrades too. I had to lie... For their sake. "Neith..." The Pharaoh's eyes quickly snapped to me. "Let me rephrase my previous question... Tell me your FULL name and don't you dare give a fake one either or I will slaughter every single member of the rebel army... Even family members who weren't even involved will be killed." It was over! I couldn't let him kill all of those people. I guess my time was up now. He cornered me in to a wall. I was stuck with no other way out. "Safiya...Safiya Zahra." The Pharaoh's smile instantly turned into a frown. "That's impossible!" Well I think its safe to say he remembers me. "I was the one who killed you."
