Chapter 2: Thoughts

"Where have you been girl? I've been waiting for over half an hour!" The elder and angry servant, Eama shouted at Niaka.

"Please, let me be! I saw the Pharaoh! Anyway, I brought the cat back didn't I?"

"Don't lie to me! You could never see the Pharaoh, let alone meet him! I am ashamed to have you as my servant!" The elder servant was in a state of apoplectic rage and would refuse to be calmed. The high priestess swept in and Eama stopped berating Niaka immediately.

"Servants, the Pharaoh is coming to the temple tomorrow to offer a sacrifice and I want everything to be perfect. That means no wanderings Niaka!" The high priestess glared at her. Niaka hung her head. "I also don't want any animals except the chosen. That is all. You are dismissed."

"I'm watching you, Niaka!" Eama muttered before disappearing down a corridor. Niaka shook her head and walked towards the high priestess.

"How come I always get told off by her, high priestess? I hardly ever get in trouble." Niaka complained.

"Child, she is jealous of you. You are obviously favoured, like your mother was. She was a popular woman, with the other priestesses and the gods. That is why she was taken."

"When was she taken?"

"When you were born. She died giving birth to you. Thankfully, you were fully out before she collapsed from the pain. I took you in and raised you to what you have become now. Her name was Namara."

Niaka started. She had heard of the priestess Namara, because she was regarded a very high example of the favoured. She had wondered why she looked vaguely like her, but it did explain the stares that she got from the locals and the other servants. Her head spinning, she left the high priestess and walked to her room, in the servants block. She collapsed on her bed and buried her face in the pillow. Why didn't people believe her when she was telling the truth? Wait! If her mother was a priestess, how come she gave birth to her? Priestesses were supposed to be virgins all their lives. Didn't a baby need a mother and a father? Her head bewildered by all those thoughts, she fell into a deep slumber.

Yami tossed and turned in his chamber, but he couldn't get to sleep. His thoughts kept on focusing on Niaka and their meeting in his garden. I need her he thought desperately. I'm going to the temple of Sekhmet tomorrow, perhaps I'll see her there. He turned over and closed his eyes, remembering their kiss that evening. Yes, I'll see her there he thought smiling.
