Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 1
There's many things in life royalty, peasants, thieves it's supposed to be a balance. Then there's a Princess of Legend that people pray and wish for but never see. She's one no one would suspect to be among them, especially when a group of teen peasants are forming the first rebellion. Wanting to get the Pharaoh's attention to see the way things are now are not right. Most laugh at them, thinking they'd never really become that big to get the Pharaoh's attention.
A group of girls and boys gathered for one cause to get a better situation on how they lived. As the group formed they were looking to who would be the leader. Many were already Ka fighters, but one of them was always walking around looking at everyone. They looked to her wondering what she was always thinking as they were speaking. A young blond male named Jake walked toward her and grabbed her arm.
“Britt, It's time. We need to decide on a leader.” He said
Britt looked to him, she looked at all their people and started thinking. She sighed then finally she looked to Jake.
“Alright.” She said
They went before everyone, Britt was the one who had lived apart of them for all her life so she knew all of them.
“Alright, We've formed our group. I believe no one else seems to be coming so to decide on a leader we will have a few fights. All of you are good in something but Our Leader will have to be good at Ka fighting and Sword fighting. I know we are at odds with this but we are looking to help the people, our families on the other side who have it less fortunate than us who live close to the palace.” Britt said
Nana and Bre were among the group for they would follow Britt everywhere, but they thought that she would make a perfect leader with the way she spoke. Britt let the fights begin in their area but she walked away not wanting much part of the fights at the moment. Jake watched her walk as he hid his crush on her, but it was clear as day to her sisters. Aiden, Britt's older brother had joined the group only to watch his sisters for he had no want to be a leader.
Aiden followed his sister as she was walking, Britt knew she was being followed so she stopped and turned around. Aiden looked at her with questioning eyes knowing the truth about her, the legend and everything.
“You would be my first choice to lead these people. A Princess needs leadership skills in her future as a Queen.” Aiden said
“I don't wish for them to know of our heritage. We have their trust and I plan to keep it that way besides we walked out of the royal life style. I have no interest in letting my future be decided for me.” Britt said
Aiden would never admit he didn't walk out of the royal life style, he still planned to return home to live in luxury at their grandfather's palace. He could see Britt on the other hand was more interested in being for the villagers than her royalty life. She walked away and went back to wherever she had originally been walking to.
Aiden walked back in as he saw many people going up against each other, he knew there would be many positions. He yawned though as he was bored, but he couldn't help watching Nana. Nana was up against a guy in the group and she took no time in taking him down.
Nana will be a good one to be by Britt's side. Aiden thought
Bre was having a ka fight and winning with her Fire Dragon, Aiden wondered why Britt wasn't willing to join in so quickly while their sisters were getting in the fights. He sighed but watched as he smiled at them all.
In the room Britt had walked in and was sitting down at she looked over her grandfather's plans for her. She'd stolen his paper so he couldn't use it on her.
-Plans for my sweet Granddaughter Brittania-
My Granddaughter has been born the Nile Princess of Egypt.
With knowing this I have set forth for her fate to lie with our
Peace Treaty. For once she's old enough, I plan for her to
Marry the Prince to make the treaty more solid.
My sweet granddaughter may not be aware of her fate for
she'll fight back like her mother did when I set the plan for
Her mother to marry the Persian Prince Max.
Britt sighed as she sat back thinking of all this, she looked at her hands as she knew the truth of herself. She wanted to be a normal princess but her fate was set and so she wanted to keep it secret from her group. She closed her eyes knowing here she was free to do as she pleased.
My fate shall be my own choice. My Grandfather King Maahes shall not decide my fate. If the gods wish for me to be the leader of this group when I step out to fight with the others then so be it. As for my fate my Grandfather was going to set me in I shall let my Goddess Anuket decide my fate. Britt thought

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 2
Britt was still looking over her grandfather's words when there was a knock. She stashed the paper away as she stood up and walked to the door. As she opened it she saw Jake with a few bruises on his face. She was surprised that he really got hurt with all this but she stayed quiet.
“Sorry Britt, but people want you apart of the fights. We want to know if you are leader material.” Jake said
“Very well, I shall join in the fights.” Britt said
Jake nod as he left, Britt closed the door as she sighed and gathered her thoughts. She wondered who this prince was her grandfather spoke about in his plans but she still wanted nothing to do with it. She walked out to the group. As she came into view they all looked at her stopping their fights as they seen her walk amongst them. She eventually stopped and picked up a sword as she looked at it.
A leader must know sword fighting and Ka fighting. I have both thanks to my siblings..my Ka I would prefer to keep hidden but we must know who's the strongest amongst us. Britt thought
She took her position to prepare as the fights started back up, many came at her to test her but she held her skills true to what she'd learned. After defeating many in sword fighting it was her turn to go to Ka fighting. There she saw many Ka battles and waited to see when it would be the right time to join. Aiden came up behind her challenging her as he knew it was time for her to prove herself. It seemed unnecessary to her to go up against her brother but she accepted. Once the battle begun and her brother brought out his Ka, she breathed slightly as she concentrated her energy. Slowly a blue aura formed around her as it came from her body forming her Goddess within, she still was looking at her brother but everyone stopped. She was about to attack when everyone kneeled down who was around her, her brother held his hand out to forfeit.
“I won't fight you.” Aiden said
“What?” Britt asked
did he purposely set me up to become the leader?! Britt thought
As no one was fighting anymore they were all still down, then Britt saw Jake walk over and place the black cloak around her shoulders. Britt knew too well that the black cape was for the leader of the group to wear to conceal them. With knowing they placed it on her she realized she was set up and by her own brother, his words started to come back to her.
You'd make a good leader. A princess needs leadership skills when she becomes Queen one day.
With the decision on leader made Britt started as leader but she maintained a group of people for healing purposes. She conducted training sessions to make everyone stronger. She walked around and sighed.
It was a few months before they made their first move to get the royals attention. Britt wasn't entirely focused but she had put Jake and Nana as co second in commands because tactics just weren't her thing right now. Jake led a group to get the supplies, and slowly as they made a few attacks they finally had the palace's attention. Britt layed in her room thinking over things than being a leader. She was wearing the leader cloak but then one of the times when her group went out Jake rushed through the door.
“Britt!” Jake said, Britt sat up “what?” Britt asked
“Your sister!” Jake said
“What?!” Britt said
She got up and followed Jake, there she saw Nana hurt a little from when they went out. She was quick to go to her sister's aid. She saw the wounds and was quick to heal her sister. Everyone watched in awe as she did so but as soon as she was done she fell sideways losing consciousness.
Jake picked her up and took her to the room she'd been in. As he layed her down he couldn't help admiring her sleeping form. He wanted her to be with him but he knew right now wasn't a good time with her unconscious.
Someday. She'll be mine. Jake thought
From that day on Britt took the role as leader, the rebels moves were strategic as they made their moves. Britt decided to keep the hood on around her face as she became more serious about being the leader. She thought about the safety of her crew and eventually she made them a great threat to the palace.
Over in the palace with the threat arising the pharaoh was having a tough time pin pointing the location on everything. He decided to call him in his son, and when the guard let him in his son Prince Atem walked in the room. He bowed to his father.
“You wished to see me.” Atem said
“Yes, My Son. I wish for you to find these rebels and infiltrate their organization. You are the same age as these rebels.” The pharaohs said
“I will try my best father.” Atem said
“Do you need any people to join you on this trip?” He asked
Atem thought about it “I'd like Mahad and Mana to join in this adventure.” He said
“Very well. Go Prepare.” The Pharaoh said
While Atem was preparing, In the rebels they were working to more secure away Britt's identity to the point it was hard to tell she was a woman. They made gloves from rope using it in a stitch pattern that showed her skin but covered her hands. The cloak covered most of her so it wasn't much of an issue. When her and her sisters were alone it was the only time she'd seem not so serious but still she wasn't going to let weakness show.
“We need more members and a bigger hide out so we can train and recruit.” Bre said
“I have just the place but recruiting will be hard. I'll send out one boy and one girl from our group. Aiden is getting our supplies to move since the area is one we own.” Britt said
“Don't you ever want to settle down and find love?” Nana asked
“When and if that time comes.” Britt told her

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 3
Britt's sisters left her alone looked at each other worried for their sister as they realized she was putting the rebels before her own feelings. Nana knew this was slightly what they signed up for up but she didn't want it to take over their lives. Jake knocked on the door and the girls looked toward the door to see who it was.
“Enter.” Britt said, Jake walked in and greeted them. “We have preparations made for the meeting. We're just waiting for you.” Jake said
“I'll be there.” Britt said, She looked at her sisters and nod to them before she left for the meeting.
Bre and Nana looked at each other again concerned after Britt left. Bre knew this wasn't like Britt but she had not wanted to be a leader of this group originally. Nana got up and went to look through Britt's belongings. Nana is the one who came across Britt's secret and the paper with their grandfather's handwriting.
“This it it!” Nana said, Bre came over and looked at as Nana read it to her. “Oh my Ra. No wonder Britt is so concentrated on the way things are. If she's captured by royalty they'll know who she is.” Bre said
“And the Prince gets a bride..against her will.” Nana said
“We have to support Britt, she obviously plans to decide her own fate.” Bre said
Nana nod as she put it back where Britt had hid it then left her room. At the meeting Britt was speaking tactic and strategy to her group. She knew they had to be careful going to their new place but she wasn't going to left anything undone. She knew this was going to be tough.
“Who shall be out for recruitment?” Jake asked
“You will be our boy recruiter and Mira shall go out to help with recruitment.” Britt said
“Wha? But why can't someone else go out for recruitment?” Jake asked
“You spoke up first. Meeting adjourned.” Britt said as she left.
As she was walking she headed for their stables and she pulled out her horse. She was going to go ahead to make the arrangements. Aiden was out there so he accompanied her to the hide out. Nana was going to lead the group to the new place. As Britt and Aiden rode out Britt leaned forward on her black Stallion to keep her hood on as they rode fast. When they arrived Britt walked in first and she was quick to throw off the cape letting herself out of the dark.
“Ah much better.” Britt said
“So you're not wanting to be out of the cloak when back there but here you will.” Aiden asked
“It's easier.” Britt said, but a little laugh came out of her mouth.
She ran up to her room and once in the room she went to the closet as she saw her royal clothing there. She changed into one of her royal outfits and knew she could have fun here in this room. When she found her all red outfit she was happy that it didn't have gold on it, then she walked out of the room. Aiden saw her but he watched her as she worked to make everything right. She set out two dresses one green one and one blue one, He knew those were for Bre and Nana.
Out in the village, Atem and his companions were walking looking like peasant people. Mira was talking with some people as a group was joining around her. This caught their attention so they walked over to listen to her.
“My Leader has sent me out to find people who would like to join the rebels. I am to lead you to our hideout and get you settled in.” Mira said
A few people were more than eager to help for they knew the cause. Mana though raised her hand and Mira was surprised.
“Yes?” Mira said
“What is the rebels cause?” Mana asked, Atem and Mahad looked at Mana thinking that this wasn't good.
“Our cause? To help our families on the other side.” Mira said
It was justifiable cause in Atem's opinion but as a group formed to follow Mira. Mahad, Atem and Mana followed the group as if they were going to join. It seemed like a long walk that they saw another group led by a blonde male. Questions arose as to who the leader could be and if one of these two were among them. As they came to the groups hide out Mira and Jake gave the signal for them to be let in. As they were let in all the newbies were given bracelets. Atem wondered what this was for but he would soon find out.
They walked in and saw the group of people training as equals boys and girls. Britt had her cloak on as she sat above on the second floor looking down at her group, her attention went to the front part of the room when Mira and Jake walked in with recruiters. She refused to reveal she was a woman to the recruiters so she made a signal and her sister walked out.
“Welcome Recruiters. Our leader welcomes you to our group, now you probably wonder the reason for the bracelets. This is our way to tell you from the our members. Once we are more familiar with you and we trust you then our leader may show their self to you but you must earn the privilege.” Nana said
why would a man want to conceal himself from his new recruitment? Atem thought
Britt looked down at the group of recruiters and she wondered who would be the best out of them. She got up from where she was sitting and went to her chambers.
Now the test to see if they are worthy shall start? Britt thought

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 4
The new recruits started their training, Nana led the training as she was put as the best to train in their way of fighting. Mahad and Atem would train together until Mahad was found to be good in magic practices so they sent him over to train with others like him leaving Atem to train with the others. Britt sat above in her usual spot with her cloak as she watched. She looked over all the recruits but her attention landed on Atem. His skill showed and seemed to match exactly what they were looking for but also something about him drew her attention.
I must test him on my own. Since I can easily blend in with everyone and he is training I'll just sneak in a surprise attack. Britt thought
She got up as she went over the rail landing in her crowd, the people around her concealed her as she threw off the cloak. She took everything that told she was the leader away as she made her away through the crowd. She saw he was most distracted by the men but as they saw her coming they backed off. This confused Atem but then he noticed they were looking at something so he looked over to see a woman approaching.
“Most Impressive but I am one of the strongest fighters here. How shall you fair against me?” She asked
Atem wondered where she came from, he never seen her before today though he knew the leader was out. Nana had put on the leader gear and went to sit in Britt's spot since they didn't want any recruits wondering where their leader went. Atem had looked up to see the “leader” was still sitting and watching.
As the training match began Atem let Britt start and she wasn't holding back as they fought. Atem had to back up a few times but then he finally got in the match. Jake was watching wanting to see Britt give the new recuit a good work. Britt though had everything planned and as she went to win he grabbed her and had her pinned.
“You think highly of yourself.” Atem said
“hm, you have passed the test.” She said before knocking him off.
Atem was quick to get up but as he did Britt ran into the crowd of recruits Jake moved letting her pass but as Atem came to follow her Jake stopped him. Britt made her way up, she knew all the secret ways to get up where Nana was then they quickly switched. Britt sat back down and Nana went to her chambers. Britt stood up from where she sat as she gave the signal.
“Alright! It's time to stop training and to eat.” Jake said
Britt walked amongst her group as they all headed to the same area, her friends had set out many things for them to eat. Mira handed Britt what they had picked out for her and she took it with a smile under her cloak.
“thank you Mira.” Britt said
They all sat at tables, Britt was surrounded by her second in commands and her friends as they ate. Atems sat with Mana and Mahad as they ate, but Mana noticed Atem was distracted.
“What's wrong?” Mana asked
“I was in a fight with this woman...I don't even know her name and yet she is pretty good at fighting.” Atem said
“Keep our guard up. We've yet to discovered the leaders identity.” Mahad reminded him
Atem nod but no matter what he did he couldn't get that girls face out of his mind. Something about her just made him slightly mesmerized that someone could be that good. He looked around for her but noticed she wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Where could she be? Atem thought

Rebel Princess and the Future Pharaoh pt. 5
Many days passed since that night, Atem would train and then he would sit with Mahad and Mana when it came to eating. He constantly looked for the girl who he had fought a few days ago, but she was no where to be seen. Mahad and Mana noticed he seemed distracted but they couldn't understand why. Nana stood up and in the middle as she prepared to speak.
“Alright recruits. Your tests are done. Meet us in the training area where our leader has a special announcement.” Nana said
what could the announcement be? Mana wondered as everyone continued to eat.
After everyone was done they all gathered to the location Nana had said, as they waited Atem wondered what this was all about. When they walked in he saw the leader was still concealed but then the leader stopped in front of everyone. No one could prepare Atem for what happened next as the leader let her cloak fall to the floor revealing the girl he'd fought a few days ago.
“Welcome to my group of Rebels. Secrecy is important to us as many object to a woman being in charged. Before you ask any questions I did not originally want to be but I've come used to it as my group needs a strong leader. Now I'm sure you're confused but this group, their not just going to be your friends. They're going to be your family as that is how we all work together. If you have any questions please give it to Jake or my sister Nana.” Britt said
The recruits in front of her seemed shocked to see her as the leader but it wasn't for long as they all broke it to a cheer. Jake had walked in and stood by Britt as he tried to pick her up but she kicked him away knocking him down.
“Stop that. I hate being lifted!” Britt said
Britt started to walk away and head upstairs taking her cloak with her, Atem seemed almost mesmerized by her as she walked that he followed her. Mahad and Mana looked at each other wondering what was wrong with Atem. As Atem followed behind Britt he saw her enter a room, but she didn't close the door all the way. He stopped outside her room looking at it then he heard her lay back on the bed.
“I didn't want to be a leader. My brother tricked me into this...but he's right. A princess needs leadership skills.” Britt said
Atem's eyes widened when he heard her say Princess, he couldn't believe that she had said that. It made her wonder if any of her recruits new. He opened her door a little as he saw her have a closet open showing royal clothes and see her messing with a crystal with a string. She placed it around her head and looked in the mirror.
“Ugh. My grandfather is not going to control me and every time I wear this thing it just reminds me of his plans.” Britt said taking it off.
So the rebels leader is a princess?! My father would never believe this! Atem thought
Britt sensed someone was near her door and she was against using her gift but she wasn't going to have any spies. So when she had enough water near she used it to pull who was watching her in her room then had the door close. Atem was shocked but he hid it as he looked at her.
“Who are you? What did you hear?” Britt asked
Atem took a good look at her before he answered, he could hardly believe she was the leader of the group. Her eyes seemed cold at this moment but he knew better that she wasn't all cold when it came to how she was down with the others.
“I didn't hear anything. I was just walking past when I noticed your door was open..you seemed..sad.” He said
It surprised her that he would say sad but he wasn't entirely wrong, she missed her parents even though she had abandon her royal life for helping these people. It was her turn this time to take a good look at him to notice he probably was sad as well about being separated from his parents to join their group. She noticed his eyes seemed hypnotizing though so she looked away.
“you should go. If you were heading to your room then please leave. I have things to think about.” Britt said, though she noticed he didn't leave.
“I can't leave. Someone who's sad shouldn't be alone.” Atem said
Britt was intrigued by this but she didn't say much instead she snapped her fingers and soon a girl with blue hair came in. She'd brought two drinks to the room not knowing Britt had a guest in her room but she regularly brought in two drinks for Britt. Britt took one and turned away to sip from it.
“Thank you Kira.” Britt said, the girl nod leaving the other drink before leaving.
“You can have it if you want.” Britt said as she walked out climbing up and laying on the slight indoor balcony before her closed window. She looked out at the land pondering and thinking. Atem watched her seeing her seeming to be bored as she looked out, he took the extra cup and took a sip from it. He figured in the cup would be water but he was surprised that it was wine.
So she is royal. Then again this looked like a royal facility. Atem thought
“So why do you hide your true identity from your group?” Atem asked now wanting to confront her.
“How do you know?” Britt asked not looking at him but she kept looking out.
“Peasants don't drink wine. They can't afford it.” Atem said
Britt's eyes widened knowing no peasant would say that to her, she looked at him wondering and questioning who he was. Her eyes went from surprise to cold again as she realized they had been infiltrated by the enemy.
“Who are you and why are you here?” She said slightly angry.
“I think you have figured out who I am. My name is Atem. As for why I'm here well I can't give you that information.” Atem told her
Britt finished her cup as she got up, then walked over to him. She started slightly piecing all of it together. She could easily expose him and she was sure he was aware of that but she was going to let it pass this time.
“I'm going to be keeping watch on you. I know who you really are and what your father has planned. If he sent you here to find me then go home! I refuse to follow through with what was planned.” Britt said snapping at him, this threw Atem off.
“What are you talking about?” He asked
“don't play dumb!” she yelled
Outside of her room was Jake and he was listening to what was being said. He could tell Britt was yelling at someone.
“I'm not playing dumb and I'd never force anyone to do anything they don't want.” He said, but he saw she didn't believe him. He saw her raise her hand but he grabbed her wrist before she could swing it, but that little contact sent electricity through both of them.
What? W-what was that? Britt thought

Quite intriguing so far. I am interested in seeing where you will take it. As for the writing in general you have a lot of potential. A few typos here and there but that's it. ^^
Keep it up!

Thanks)
Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 6
Atem was quiet as he wasn't sure why that happened, but he could see that she was confused as well. Britt pulled her wrist away as she walked away from him not wanting to look at him. Atem though couldn't ignore it as he followed her. He grabbed her hand which made her look at him, he pulled her close to him which had her looking him eye to eye.
“w-what are you doing?” She asked in a whisper
As they looked at each other after that question they both seemed to be leaning in, Britt couldn't understand what had come over herself knowing he was the prince her grandfather wanted her to marry. They were so close to kissing that when there was a knock at the door their eyes widened and pulled apart.
I can't believe we almost kissed.. Britt thought, She cleared her throat after this weird incident. She pointed to a chair to tell Atem just to sit there as she went back to her spot sitting along the window. “come in.” She said
Jake walked in, he saw Britt in her usual spot but he noticed one of their recruits there. He wondered what was going on but he decided not to ask. As he walked towards her and took her hand, Atem felt a pain in his chest seeing this but said nothing.
“Britt, we need something done. You are the leader, we make the move when it is your time to say so.” Jake said, Britt pulled her hand away and pushed him back. “Do not touch me Jake. I have told you many times not to do certain things and yet you do them. I will make the decisions when I am ready. Now leave us. I am in the middle of talking to this recruit.” Britt said keeping her eyes on the outside.
Jake wasn't happy about this but there wasn't much he could do about it as she was the leader. He wanted to keep his eyes on the recruit though so he left as she requested. Atem watched then he stood up from the chair and looked at her.
“You gave up your royal heritage and yet you don't want that guy to touch you. It's what Royals do to those beneath them.” Atem said
Britt wouldn't look at him she just kept looking out at the window. “What do you expect of me? I must make everyone believe I'm one of them. If I fail do you think they'll still want me as their leader? Do you think that they will accept a princess turning on her own kind?” Britt asked
“What are you fighting for? What do you plan to gain from this?” Atem asked her
“Me? Nothing..for them..everything.” Britt said
“So you want nothing out of this if you win?” He asked
Britt looked up at the ceiling and thought about it. “I just want my freedom. To choose what I do. Who I may marry and how my life will be. That's all I want.” Britt said
“What do you mean freedom? You are here with these people, don't you have your freedom?” Atem asked, Britt smiled but shook her head. “No, Sadly I don't. My grandfather still searches for me..wishes to control me.” Britt said
Atem wondered what she meant by control her, but then she got up and walked to her desk. She pulled out the paper and practically threw it at him. As he grabbed it and looked at it his eyes widened and he dropped the paper, it made sense now why she was fighting. He couldn't believe it himself and Britt saw that he really hadn't known by his reaction.
“You were telling the truth.” Britt said
“like I told you. I wouldn't force anyone into what they don't want.” He said and then walked over to her taking her hand like last time as he pulled her close again. “I would never force you to do anything you don't want. So anything that happens here, you are the leader and I am your recruit.” He told her
Britt was speechless as to what to say even though he could easily blow her over as Princess but she could do the same to him as a Prince. Atem looked in her eyes and once again she felt hypnotized by his eyes like before Jake had come in. Once again they were close to kissing, Britt wasn't able to fight the pull and neither was Atem.

Rebel princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 7
The more they leaned in both of them couldn't resist and soon though the space closed and they kissed. The feeling that rushed through them was something neither had expected as neither of them had done this before. When they pulled away Britt opened her eyes some and looked down as she was in surprise that it happened. Atem though put a hand under her chin making her look up at him as he kissed her again which made her kiss him back. Time just seemed to slip by as they were there and someone came to her door knocking on it but she didn't hear it. Jake was behind the door but was about to open the door when he got pulled away to do something else.
After they pulled apart Britt was embarrassed but she let Atem out as the night turned to day she walked out of her chambers with a test in mind. She had her sister give the orders for them to report to the outside where the trials each of her royal siblings had gone through and she still hadn't because she was waiting but that wasn't going to told to her troops as far as they knew this was just another training. She stepped out to where everyone could see her and she looked at everyone.
"Welcome, I am opening a new training task at hand. We each one of our men and one of our women shall go through and see who comes out first." Britt announced.
Aiden and Jake both noticed something different about Britt but they couldn't figure it out. Aiden tried to figure out why Britt would open such a task to everyone but he watched. They all lined up her included into the mix, she made sure that when it came down to it her opposite was Atem. So when they both got up to the mix she stretched first, Atem wondered what she was up to but then it started. Both ran into the trials, neither knew what to expect but as they reached the first part they both had to avoid objects that tried to hit them. Britt tried her best to not use her power as she felt it was cheating but she used it to duck and protect her head. As they both reached the next round of the trails they had to take bows and use the bows and arrows to protect their selves. Atem watched Britt as he went through these trails seeing she was being fair but he could tell she held power even though she denied her royal blood. He lost concentration of his task and almost got taken out but used the arrow just in time to stop it. As they both dropped the bows they jumped into the water which made it easier for Britt as she made her way swiftly through the water first, Atem following behind. She rushed forward almost out of breath as she ran.
Above was Aiden watching Britt as he knew how the trials were and that there were still three parts left. He seen her look back at Atem as she was in front and seemed to slow down for him to catch up which surprised him.
What is she doing? He thought
Britt wasn't watching that her own brother was watching her and she wanted to end this but she didn't want to be too far ahead of Atem so she had slowed down. As they both ran in they were still dripping wet and looked around the room seeing fire. They both moved to where their backs were against each other. Britt looked back at him and he looked at her, it was almost they knew this would be tough as they helped each other get through it together by moving with their backs together. They'd tell the other when to duck which made them both have to crawl and when they made it out. Britt was so happy she hugged Atem but it was quick as she started heading to the next task. Atem followed her as he made her wonder what was wrong with her but as they came across the next task at hand they both took a rope climbing it.
Bre and Nana never mentioned how bad these could be. Britt thought
When reaching the top they had to carefully swing to get to the other side, Atem was first to go but Britt was hesitant. Atem turned and seen her hesitation and in not wanting to ruin her status as leader he held out his arms.
"Trust me and Jump." He said
Britt wasn't so sure but she knew she had to finish or she'd be looked at bad. When she swung and let go Atem grabbed her hand and brought her close to him. She blushed slightly knowing that she had to get help just to get passed this one. They both started running though to get to the last one again it was a fire one. Britt knew this was bad and so she did something she was against she used her power to get them past, Atem was speechless as he hadn't known she had such power when it was done they had to run out. Everyone waited expecting to see one of them come out first but instead both of them came out with ash on their faces and breathing heavily.
Jake rushed to Britt's side but she put a hand up and leaned on Atem. Atem supported her weight as he seen she used a lot of her energy, she put her hand up to stop Jake but then Atem took her up to her chambers. He layed her down then turned to leave but she grabbed his hand and stopped him making him looks back at her.
“Stay with me.” She said
He didn’t think it was a good idea but he knew she was his leader and it wasn’t like he could refuse so he layed down beside her. He held her close which she didn’t protest to and that surprised him but he didn’t say anything. She wrapped her arm around him keeping him close to her making sure he didn’t go anywhere. She soon drifted to sleep. Laying there watching her made him realize how close they were starting to become and he wasn’t sure if that was good or not. Soon he drifted to sleep himself but as they were both asleep. Jake and Aiden had come to Britt’s room to check on her, Aiden knocked first to see if she was awake and when there was no answer he opened the door . Aiden was surprised to see the two asleep side by side but Jake became mad with jealousy. Aiden closed the door and took Jake away from there.
“How can you allow this?” Jake asked him
“She’s our leader. She can do as she pleases.” Aiden said
“She’s your sister.” Jake said
“Be that as it may she’s still our leader. I gave it to her to make her own decisions.” Aiden said
how could Britt lay in her bed with that man?! He's a new recruit and I'm her second in command! No way will I lose Britt to him! Jake thought
That recruit in her bed, He's no peasant. Britt let's no peasants near her like that..He must be a royal in disguise.. He thought then his eyes widened as he looked back Wait, He's an Egyptian Royal..he's not from our palace..so he's...her betrothed..he has to be..but they're so close. So what's going on?
Between the two Britt was first to wake up and she yawned as she sat up, looking she saw Atem was asleep. She watched him and carefully moved strands of his hair from his face without waking him. Something about him was drawing her in and she couldn't figure out what it was. Atem woke up seeing her looking at him and he carefully sat up looking at her.
“How do you feel?” He asked
“Better, helps to rest.” Britt said, as they both let go of each other.
Neither of them said anything to the other but soon Atem went to get up. Britt looked down as she started to think of what to say to him. She stood up as well but before he could leave she stopped him again and he turned around.
“Is there anything else I ca-” He didn't finish before Britt had kissed him. He had remembered their first kiss was just similar so he didn't mind and kissed her back. He held her close as they kissed each other, but at her door Jake had returned to check on her. Thinking she was still asleep he opened the door without knocking and his jealousy grew to see her Kissing the man that was in her bed and to see him kiss her. He wanted that to be him so bad that he went to grab a weapon but the noise that gave away his presence made the two pull away.
“Who's there?!” Britt asked
Jake hide the knife he had and walked to the doorway. “Forgive me for the intrusion Britt, I was checking to see if you were awake.” Jake said
Britt looked at the way Jake was standing and noticed he had something behind his back with his arm behind his back. “What do you have there?” Britt asked
“It's nothing, something your brother requested.” He said
“Well Leave us, I was speaking with Atem when you rudely interrupted.” Britt said hoping he hadn't opened the door to see them kiss.
Jake, your feelings can easily be seen by everyone in our group. My sister's brought it to my attention years ago when we started this group and I so wished that you'd of backed off of your feelings long ago..because I don't feel anything but friendship for you....where with Atem...I feel something...but knowing the danger of feeling this way..he is my betrothed...if Aiden has saw us in here together then..there's no hiding it. I know of Aiden's trips to our home.. Britt thought
this man in the doorway is in love with her. Atem thought then looked at Britt's face. She doesn't feel the same for him, that look tells a lot but when she looks at me she never has that look..
“Britt, you shouldn't be alone with a recru-” Jake didn't get to finish as Britt's tone became harsh. “Leave us. Go do your job as second in command.” Britt said then went and gently pushed him out of the room and closed the door. Jake put his ear to the door to listen as Britt turned to Atem with a sweet smile. “Sorry about that, Jake means well but he just doesn't understand.” Britt said
“You don't love him..your very harsh to him.” Atem said
“Harsh..hm yes I guess I am..but I do it to keep that boundary between friendship and leadership. I can never see loving my second in command.” Britt said
“and what about that kiss between us?” Atem asked
“You should know there's something forming between us. I shall never acknowledge the betrothal between us, so this shall only happen if I—we Choose it.” Britt said
A Betrothal between them?! What's the meaning of that?! Jake thought

Rebel princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 8
Jake left trying to figure out what that meant, it wasn't common among commoners so he was thinking about it for awhile. He kept watch for Britt to walk out and when she did he saw her with the recruit. Britt and him seemed to be talking about something but he couldn't quite hear them as they walked past. The way Britt looked at him was so different then he'd seen her look at anyone since the day he met her. When they made their way down still talking and her brother noticed them he saw they seemed close.
Jake may be replaced as second in command and she's getting close to her betrothed. Maybe Grandfather will get his wish after all. Aiden thought
Britt sighed as they walked seeing that everyone was training, she knew some of the people here had coupled up. It wasn't hard to imagine since they were going to be planning for awhile but she worried for the women who were in their group courting with the men of their group. She herself was seeming to be courted by the man beside her now even though he was her betrothed.
If any woman becomes with child, it will be hard to take them into the fight..I myself must watch my actions. I do not know what the others do for I look the other way not knowing who's with who. Britt thought
Aiden watched her and Atem, it was not odd for her to hang around someone but he watched their hands. Their hands had stayed apart but Atem would take hers in his when they wouldn't be noticed.
There is something between those two..I just need to find something to wedge them apart. Jake thought
As they walked around Britt's sisters pulled her from Atem as they were doing a little thing to get everyone off of their routine. They had her up on spot light so that everyone would stop to listen to her. Britt wasn't sure what they wanted but when she heard music playing she got the idea. Her sisters got behind her as she closed her eyes then started to sing, listening to the music she went into singing along with the music. Many people looked at her when she opened her eyes she had made the song with meaning. It held the meaning of love and companionship but mostly about finding the one person who could be important to your life.
Atem and Jake were both mesmerized by her voice, but when she was done she rushed over to Atem. It wasn't hard for her people to see that their leader had finally found someone to get through to her softer side. Mana and Mahad were watching as Atem smiled to her and led her away from the others. Her sisters knew that something was starting that was great for their sister. Scott though walked over and stood by Jake.
“She's fallen for another.” Scott said
“She's just playing, she'll come to her senses soon.” Jake said then looked at Scott. “What have you learned about him?” Scott asked
“Nothing, It's hard to learn much when people don't know much about him. It's the same when we ask about how much everyone knows of our leader. They know of what she's done for everyone but nothing about her family.” Scott said
“Find out what a betrothal is and report back to me. Somethings up with those two.” Jake said
Jake you're going down a path that's leading you to oppose Britt. Deep down in your heart she's the girl you love but she's cruel to you in trying to keep you at a distance. She doesn't like you like you like her and we've all seen it. Why haven't you? Scott wondered

Rebel princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 9
Atem took her hand as they made their way through the crowd, he didn't know much about the place but he could imagine she did. Britt used her power to stop him at certain points that he had to go the way she was more leading then him and when they came to a room. He saw inside was a garden with a balcony and a fountain of water. It was amazing but nothing like the royal training areas his father had. Britt let his hand go as she walked over to the fountain scooping some water in her hand as she used her power in practice. She never let anyone know of her gift but he had found out due to their training together. She had the water move left to right, right to left, up to down and down to up, when she turned to face him he was amazed.
“How are you able to do that?” He asked
“A gift, I was born with it.” Britt said
Jake had been following and he was listening to both of them but he also peaked in. He saw Britt have the water wrap around her arm, he knew she was powerful but he didn't know she was willing to expose her power to someone she's only know for a short time. Britt had it form in her hands then sent it back in the fountain.
“Don't tell anyone, Everyone in the start has seen My Ka. A Goddess. But I don't tell them about the power for I fear people will try to use me.” Britt said
“Why? You're the leader.” He said
“It's why I ran, I didn't choose to be leader. My Brother Aiden was more fit but when we were going to have a Ka battle everyone stopped and bowed to me. I swore I'd never let anyone bow again to me after my grandfather forced people to do that. I hate it.” Britt said
“It's proper and their way of showing respect to a..royal.” Atem said
royal? Jake thought
“Not here, Here everyone is equal. No one bows to anyone.” Britt said
“You're wrong, when you don't look they bow to you.” Atem said
“But I don't want them to. It's not my way.” Britt said
“What do your parents think of this?” He asked
“My parents?” She said and laughed “My mom fought for me, she told my grandfather she wouldn't force his decisions on me. My father sided with her but he took me from them. He kept me from them until night time. The only time I could see them.” Britt said as a tear fell down her cheek.
Jake didn't like to see her cry but he didn't understand their conversation. He could see Atem walk over and comfort her, something he wanted to do but he knew for now he had to keep his distance. He wondered about them wondering what Britt was doing.
“My parents are at home probably wondering why I am doing this. Aiden thinks I don't know but I know he goes and reports back to them so they know I'm safe.” Britt said
She walked over to farthest part of the balcony and looked out. The sun was setting and she closed her eyes, her light sun kissed skin made it manageable in the sun. Atem walked over near her seeing her eyes closed but he could see she was thinking.
“Do you wish to go home?” He asked
“Even if I wish it, I can not. Going home let's my grandfather get a hold of me again. Something I won't allow.” Britt said
“So you will always oppose him.” Atem said
“Til the day I decide my fate. This royal training ground belongs to my family, so if my parents wish to come they can. I can not deny them entry.” Britt said
she's royalty?! She never told any of us, but yet if she is royalty then her sisters and brother are..and if this is her family's royal training ground then she knew we'd all be safe here. Jake thought
Jake was having a hard time processing all this first hearing about the betrothal and now that his leader was royalty. They fought against royalty and she was betraying her own kind but she was seeming to only talk with the recruit about this which made him wonder about him. He knew now that she had her secrets and reasons for hiding them but her plans had always been cunning. Her cruelty to him was starting to make sense as well for a royal could be with someone like him if they denounce their heritage but he wondered if she would. He kept watch on them wanting to hear more.
“So now you know..but why did you join? I know you didn't come here to find me..” Britt said
“As you know I didn't know about the betrothal before you showed me that paper. I still can't believe it was all set up like that.” He said
“we don't get a choice, some don't...my parents didn't but they fought.” She said
“Tell me about them.” He said
“My mother is the daughter of my grandfather King Maahes and My dad..he's from Persia.” Britt said
Atem was surprised but so was Jake, but Britt didn't say anything else she seemed a little depressed. She missed them terribly and sometimes wished they were here. Atem could see this and so could Jake but neither of them knew where to go. Atem though had an idea for he'd met her brother but Jake hid as he seen Atem leave the room in a rush. Britt was about to turn to leave when she heard someone trip which made her turn around.
“Who's there?!” Britt said ready to attack
Jake walked out with his hands raised “Chill Britt.” He said
She put her hand down but didn't understand why he was there, nothing made sense right now with Jake she just hoped he hadn't been there the whole time. Britt looked at him cruelly as she didn't like that he was even here. This part was supposed to be sealed off but she'd forgot to put it back up.
“What are you doing here?” She asked
“I was seeing why one of our recruits were coming from this section. I didn't expect to see you here.” He said
“He was in here because I allowed It.” Britt answered.
“You're spending a lot of time with him, that's very concerning.” He said
“It's none of your business.” Britt said
Not long Atem came back seeing that Jake was there, he looked at Britt questioningly but saw her look at Jake. So he walked past Jake over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, she calmed down as she looked at him her look turned affectionate. Jake felt a pain in his heart seeing this but as he was about to turn to leave Britt had thought he was fully turned around when she leaned up to kiss Atem. Seeing that only made Jake's jealousy worse but now he had more answers as he left them slamming the door behind him. Atem pulled away from Britt and looked at her.
“He saw you do that.” Atem said
“I have to make my feelings clear. He wants what he can't have.” She said
As they walked back to the balcony she had her hands on the rail and Atem placed a hand on hers. She looked as she thought about what future she could have. She worried though knowing this was dangerous.
Meanwhile Jake had met up with Scott who had some news for Jake.
“What'd you find?” He asked
“It's not known well among our people, but it does happen. Royals are more often betrothed though.” Scott said
So they're both royals..they must be. Jake thought

Rebel Princess and future Pharaoh pt. 10
Britt moved away as she left with Atem behind her as everyone started to gather to eat. Britt walked over taking a plate as Atem did too but she walked to a table of her closest friends but sadly she didn't have room for him to join her so he went and sat by his own friends. Mana and Mahad saw he seemed distracted today as they looked over where he was.
“You're getting attached to a Rebel.” Mahad said
“She's not what you expect Mahad.” Atem said to his friend as they all started changing the subject and eating. Meanwhile Britt was the one looking over at him this time.
“Britt.” Mira said
“Hm, What?” She asked Mira
“You spend a lot of time with one Recruit..” Harthor said
“He is your Rebel champion, Can I not try to train him alone?” She asked
“It's more than that. We see how you react with him.” Nannia said
“Nothing is going on, I Promise.” Britt said
“Don't lie Britt, we know the truth of you. Your family unlike the others and Jake.” Zoey said
“I'm aware.” Britt said
As they were finishing up Britt left the table her friends following behind her, She walked past the table Atem was at and gave a brief smile to him as she kept walking. Her friends all noticed and they glanced at him wondering what was so special about him that had their friend smiling. As they kept walking Britt walked into her chambers the girls following behind her as she sat on her bed. Zoey closed the door behind her. Little did they know Jake had secretly followed and was listening.
“Alright spill it.” Mira said
“As you five know I am a Princess, this is a royal training ground and It's my family’s royal training ground. What I didn't say is my mom and dad have this training ground marked as full so my grandfather won't come here.” Britt said
“The same grandfather you've been running from.” Harthor said
“Yes, if he gets a hold of me he decides my fate. He'll force me into a marriage I don't know if I want.” Britt said
“Wait, I though it was a marriage you don't want.” Zoey said
“It was that way, until I met him..” Britt said
“Met who?” Olivia asked
“My betrothed. He's here.” Britt said
so I was right! Jake thought
Zoey was surprised to hear this from her “You met him and he's here? Ho-..The recruit you hang out with.” Zoey asked
“Indeed, I threw the paper at him and was upfront on my thoughts about it...when I realized he didn't know.” Britt said
“that's shocking.” Mira said
“So we've been talking and hanging out which led to...” Britt cut off and blushed a little.
“To what?” Nannia asked
“heh, We kissed..but it didn't happen again..but I like it.” Britt said
Jake had known about the kiss for he'd walked in on her kissing him only he didn't know they'd kissed twice but she wasn't giving that information to her friends. Jake was furious but he kept his cool as he left.
A little later Britt called a meeting and as she did she explained to everyone that they were making their attack. Atem wasn't thrilled on this but he listened with the others as she talked about the plan what surprised him was her target wasn't his father like he thought.
“Our target is the man with the Golden eye. He's the one we want to target and get rid of as someone I know from the inside says he's misleading the pharaoh. So let's take him out or at least send him a warning. When we make our final attack we'll take him out.” Britt said then had Zoey come up.
“We're sending out our leader's second in command to lead this attack and come back safely. We have guards who will tell you where you'll be during the attack now please go find out and prepare.” Zoey said
Britt walked down knowing she'd given orders specific for Atem and her company during this attack. They'd be here with her while everyone would be stationed outside for the attack but her friends would be here too. When Jake received his orders he watched the others seeing that the recruit closest to his Britt received different orders along with two others and Britt's friends..but he noticed her sisters were also apart of the group that was gave different orders.
what orders did he get? Jake thought
He had no choice though as he followed through with his orders but as he left with his group he noticed Britt was on the balcony of the royal training ground with the recruit he knew was Royal. He seen she was talking to him about something but he felt crushed a little but he did as ordered.
Meanwhile in the royal training area Britt walked in with Atem by her side, she did individual training with him which her sisters and friends watched. When one would kick the other would dodge or block it, as Bre and Nana could see they were equal in their fighting skills.
“So is this why she had him stay?” Nana asked
“No, I think she just didn't want him to be alone with the others and Jake. We all know how Jake feels about her.” Bre said
As they kept watch Britt went to hit him and he caught her wrist in the air, Bre and Nana watched the two seeing they stopped and were seeming hypnotized. Britt's friends also watched they all knew Britt and this man had been walking close together.
They are going to kiss. Bre thought
As the group watched the two below did kiss, Britt's sisters and friends all smiled and secretly whispered amongst their selves. Britt had almost lost her focus but pulled away as she looked up seeing her friends and sisters talking. She couldn't help herself as she used her gift to get all of them wet. Britt laughed and she covered her mouth. Atem watched her seeing this care free side of her when it was her family and friends. Mana and Mahad had been watching and had also witnessed the kiss.
I can't believe what I saw..My Prince and the Rebel leader. Though she seems to have a gift. Mahad thought
The Pharaoh would be so happy! If only she was a princess and not a rebel. Mana thought
Britt stopped laughing when she saw her brother come in but she rushed upstairs seeing he wasn't alone. She knew it was the only time she'd be able to dress appropriately and her sisters went as well. Atem was curious but then he saw Britt run down in a purple dress that was similar to her regular attire but more like royal. Mana and Mahad were surprised to see this but as they watched Bre and Nana came down in royal attires. The three stopped and bowed to their parents.
“Mother, Father we didn't expect your arrival.” Britt said
“You wouldn't My daughter. We had discussed arrangements with your brother.” Max said
“You must come with a report. I do not think your visit would be out of coincidence.” Britt said
“We do. Your grandfather is aware of your rebellion. He's planning to take force if you do not do as he wishes.” Her mother said
I expected this much..the timing makes my situation complicated. Britt thought as she knew Atem was behind her.
“The betrothal.” Britt said
“You know, how?” Angela asked
“A little paper” Britt said bringing it for her parents and everyone to see. “Signed by Grandfather and the Pharaoh of Egypt. This paper is merely Grandpa's copy but when disposed of correctly.” Britt said then put the paper over her twin's hand where fire came and the paper burned. “Out of sight, out of mind.” Britt said
“I tried similar tactics for my own betrothal. When it came time to meet my betrothed I didn't expect to get to know him and come to love him. We only married after we both agreed to it.” Britt said
after they agreed...my parents were betrothed.. Britt thought
Britt couldn't stop herself as the next words slipped out “My Betrothed is here.” Britt said
Her parents were shocked but Britt looked back looking at Atem, Atem walked over standing by her as he was surprised she'd told them.
“You are the son of the Pharaoh.” Angela said
“I am.” Atem said
“You joined the rebellion.” Max Asked
“Please, I can figure out a spy easily. Though nothings been sent back we figured out who's the real target of our rebellion. So no one has been told but I am not targeting the Pharaoh. I am targeting the man with the golden eye.” Britt said
they are targeting Aknadin. Mahad thought but things made sense.
Since Britt's parents didn't want to use all this time for just talking about the betrothal they all moved to another part of the training grounds. Everyone who was still there was present as no secrets were going to be kept and Britt wasn't about to keep Atem's friends in the dark about her royal heritage. Things seemed to of gone well Britt's parents didn't comment but noticed Atem and Britt had seemed to get along well. When it was time for her parents to leave Britt gave both of them a hug. Then quickly left to change and her sisters followed suit of it. Leaving Atem and his friends alone with her parents and brother.
“Watch over our daughter, make sure she doesn't get hurt..” Max asked
“Yes, I'll do my best to keep your daughter safe. She's more than meets the eye and her ways are different.” Atem said
“That is my little Britt, she's rough around the edges but she'll always find her ways to get into peoples hearts. I knew she'd be a great leader.” Angela said
Atem knew her mother spoke highly of Britt for she was a good leader,but Angela was right about her words. Britt had gotten into Atem's heart and it wasn't something he could ignore but he couldn't say anything with her parents here. The way she'd acted was different with burning the paper that she'd showed him.
After her parents left he went up and talked with Britt, she was looking out her window seeming lost in thought. As he walked up and seen what she was seeing that her troops were returning. They assumed It was a good first attack for Britt didn't see many people missing but she said a silent prayer to the Gods for any who had fallen. Britt thought didn't want to admit it but she'd felt closer to Atem with her parents there.
I hate being a leader but we must do what is right. Britt thought
I'm back, I hope nothing has changed in the short time we've been gone. Jake thought

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 11
As the people came in they seen the group who'd stayed behind all laughing and dancing, Nana was dancing with Mahad and Britt was dancing with Atem. Bre was watching with a smile but she knew there was only two men left with them when her attention went to everyone who showed up. Britt was distracted by Atem as she couldn't help getting lost in his eyes as they danced.
Jake had came in behind most people that he was last to see the group as the dance was ending. Atem took Britt's hand after they were done dancing and kissed the top of it. She smiled at him with a slight laugh before her followers caught her attention. A slight blush crept to her cheeks then because she'd shown a side she kept locked away and everyone had seen. Jake was fuming with anger though as he saw this. He was gonna make his way through the crowd when Britt raised her hand to get everyone’s attention.
“I welcome you all back, Jake shall report to me how many we lost in this attack and for that we will take a few days away from training to honor the fallen. I wish blood shed wasn't a choice in this but to get what we want it must be this way. Peace right now is just not a choice.” Britt said
Everyone honored her for this choice but she decided to be upfront with her troops now.
“Also, I have an announcement. As you all know not much is known about me. I came here when this group was formed for my freedom. Since then you all have tried to find something on me, to see where I come from. Well I am the Princess of the Nile Kingdom. I am the Nile Princess of Egypt gifted by Goddess Anuket and I am your chosen leader. This group is formed for the change of things but this group was my hope to decide my own fate.” Britt said
Everyone was shocked by her announcement and she expected they were going to ask her to step down from being leader, but they didn't instead they were cheering. They now realized not all royals cared about money and their royal life. Britt looked to Atem who was hesitant but he stepped forward taking Britt's hand. Everyone was then talking but Britt silenced them.
“Something you wish to say rebel champion?” Britt asked with a slight teasing smile
“You know I am not a rebel born, I am the heir of the throne. The Prince of the Pharaoh.” Atem said looking at her
“I know, You chose the right side when you didn't report us to your father for your uncle would know our plans then.” Britt said
Everyone just watched them but was shocked that two royals were in their rebel group and one was the prince of Egypt.
“I will follow the Nile Princess into battle to show my side of Egypt that my uncle is up to no good.” Atem said
Britt was surprised to hear him say that but he wasn't done but he wasn't ready as he knew it wasn't the right moment. Everyone went their own ways, Britt was heading to her chambers to get ideas for planning done but as she walked in her chambers Jake barged in and closed the door behind him.
“How can you allow that?!” Jake said
“Because I am the leader and I make the choices. I don't let my feelings cloud my judgment.” Britt said not looking at Jake.
“what does that mean?!” Jake asked Obviously frustrated
“It means that I am the one making the choices here and if I say he stays then he stays, if I say he'll be my lover then that's what he'll be. I make the choices and you don't have say in it unless it's for battle.” Britt said
Jake was taken back by her words and he could tell something had changed while he was gone. She wasn't about to say her parents had been there nor that she had kissed Atem again. Her feelings did slightly blind her as she wouldn't betray her heart now but she kept her boundaries. Jake went over and made her look at him in her eyes he seen the truth. Her hatred for him but her love for the prince, that emotion he never seen her have for him. It stung him deeply but he cupped her cheeks which made her put her hands up in protest knowing his plan.
“You are not allowed to kiss me. That's an order.” Britt said
Jake was angry and stung by her words that she was using her authority as the leader to her advantage. He was about to say something when the door opened and both of them looked, he saw the prince in the doorway. Atem didn't like what he was seeing Jake being so close to Britt.
“Step away from her.” Atem said
“This has nothing to do with you Prince, Britt is mine!” Jake said
he did just not claim me. Britt thought
“She's not yours, it's her decision.” Atem said
“Enough!” Britt said
Jake and Atem looked at her but Atem's attention went to the outside of her window where the Nile waters were moving a bit fast.
“This is my choice, like Atem said and being such..Jake get out of my chambers!” Britt yelled at him.
Jake knew it wasn't the right time and left the room but he only closed the door to where he could still see in. He watched them as he wanted to make sure Britt was still safe. Meanwhile Atem walked over to Britt touching her cheek and she calmed down. A smile formed as she was happy to be alone with him but she was thinking about things.
“You ok?” Atem asked
“I am and I will be.” She said
She leaned up to him and kissed him, which made him kiss her back both of them knew this connection between them was something neither of them could ignore. Atem though picked her up this time and as he held her walked over to her bed. He layed her down there and pulled away as he looked at her. She blushed a little knowing this wasn't what she'd expected.
“We should stop. I must set an example for the troops.” Britt said
As much as they both knew her words were true, they ended up not stopping but Jake didn't look away until he seen them go beyond just making out then he closed the door. He knew now Britt was never going to be his not as long as that prince was in her life.
I need to take him out of the equasion. Jake thought
Downstairs Britt's cousins were among her troops for they believed in her cause. Harthor, Britt's cousin had been courting with one of the troops name Alim. She knew though that her cousin was watching but even so they deserved love too. Soon though the night turned to day everyone who'd been out of their chambers were waking up where they'd fell asleep. Britt woke up in her room as she sat up yawning, last nights events played through her mind but she knew now it wasn't going to be easy going against the betrothal as she looked over to the other side of the bed she seen Atem was still there.
Now things are complicated. I am in love with him..and we're still going after his uncle..But I must call a meeting with my parents and his father..Tomorrow. Britt thought
She got out of the bed and wrapped up in her cloak as she wrote up two papers but had both papers sent to her parents. She knew her parents would call the meeting for her. A few days passed since then and she received word about the meeting and where. She gathered only a few people to go with her, Atem was apart of this group for she figured he must miss his father. When she went to her chambers Atem followed seeing her wearing royal clothing and a head piece then saw her put her black cloak on.
“You ready for this?” He asked
“I'm the one who called this to happen so I have to be.” Britt said
Atem was shocked to hear that but they both left together, the members of their small party were as followed: Her sisters, his friends and a few of her friends in the group. As they approached they got off their horses, Atem walked with Britt to the group.
“Atem, You're safe.” The Pharaoh said but seen the leader of the Rebels was there.
“Yes, I am. I've become apart of the rebels because their cause is right.” Atem said
“What?” The Pharaoh
“I'm sorry Pharaoh, Introductions should be told to someone of high power.” Britt said before she took off her hood. “I'm Brittania, the rebel leader and the Nile Princess of Egypt but I prefer Britt.” She said
“why would a royal want to cause such trouble?” The pharaoh
“Freedom of choice. I've already promised Atem no harm shall come to you for you're not our target. Sadly though someone has been doing bad deeds behind your back.” Britt said
“and you called this meeting for this reason?” He asked
“Sadly not all of my information can be given out, but I came to make my announcement before my parents and before you...about the betrothal that's in place.” Britt said
“You know about that?” The pharaoh asked
She nod “as does your son.” Britt said
“What is your decision? We know you were against it.” Max said
Britt sighed before she found her hand in Atems “I'm going through with it after the rebellions done.” Britt said
“Father, she's a good leader and knows what she's doing. She'll bring great change if the rebellion continues until it's finished.” Atem said
“No Innocent blood shall be shed. I am planning to take this battle on the outskirt of your village to protect the people, but the people want change and I know once we get our target it can happen.” Britt said
The Pharaoh knew she was speaking true words and for his son to be backing her it must be a good plan and strategy. It wasn't known to most that this meeting was even going on so there was a catch to this and Britt knew too well Atem would have to report to his father now. Soon though they returned and things were going forward now.
From this day, my life has changed. Britt thought

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 12
The meeting had been made and was over with Britt had a clear ind of her future and with such decision she made the choice to move Atem into her chambers with her. No one knew because it was a private decision she'd made by herself as leader.
Atem would train while Britt was at her desk plotting her next movie. She could hear his movements behind her. He tried being quiet as possible so she concentrate.
Jake had not accepted the loss of losing Britt. He still planned to win her somehow even though he knew of her betrothal and what she had done with Atem.
Nana was watching over the troops wondering when her sister and her lover would come to join the others she knew this planning was vital. She must plan this carefully so no innocents die. Nana thought as piece of her black hair with green tips got in her face. She didn't realize that Mahad was watching her as he did the training for the ones who could work magical potions.
When she couldn't come up with anything she called in Mira,Nannia, Hathor,Zoey and Olivia her most trusted friends. She allowed Jake to come to the meeting as well seeing as he was former second in command but watched by Zoey. They all were surprised to see Atem was already there, Jake's anger boiled with hatred toward the prince.
They all discussed locations to avoid innocents lives form being involved, Aknadin was the target the man who mislead the pharaoh. Bre and Nana barged in but Britt allowed it for her twin and younger sister. “we need a first attack location the Pharaoh has backed down to let us take out the target.” Britt said on their map she had marked a blue color her signature color for being the Nile Princess but also her mark for safe location from their attack.
“what if we use the prince as Bait.” Jake said,Britt glared at Jake for speaking that idea. “You will never suggest that again or you'll get out.” Britt threatened Jake wasn't scared of his leader's anger or her threat. Letting her anger go she calmed once again, “Using bait is a good idea but not our rebel champion.” Britt said, but a smirk came to Zoe’s mouth. “ok, how about we spread a rumor that the rebels are at Kul Elna.” Zoey suggested. Both Britt and Atem nod to the idea, Mira was surprised that the two seemed to be in synch with each other.
Atem stood behind where Britt was sitting and looked at her map. Kul Elan is an open area. People were killed there so it may be dangerous. Atem thought and looked at Britt. He was concerned for her safety in all this. He had letter that he'd red over a few time since seeing his father. Brit looked up at him her purple eyes meeting his Amethyst eyes “Any ideas?” She asked. Atem was surprised but quickly regain his composure as he walked over to the letters and placed them in front of Britt Britt read over the letters she recognized the seal of the Pharaoh. “These are letters from your father.” She said which surprised everyone else. “What do they say?” Mira asked and Britt looked up from them. She was between shocked and surprised as all her people could see.
“Well spill it!” Jake yelled frustrated. Nana didn't hold back her fist as she hit him for the disrespect to her sister. Jake flinched but sat there seeing Britt's gaze on him, even though she had chosen the prince he couldn't help being hypnotized by her. She then looked down at the letters. “The Pharaoh has offered some of his troops to aid us in this fight.” Britt said but as everyone started talking she silenced them. “I'm gonna take this offer, it'll help our numbers but I want them trained in our group. Our way.” Britt said, she then looked up at Atem “You'll be in charge of your father's troops.” She told him and Atem nod in understanding.
When the meeting was done everyone left her chambers, Atem went out for a little bit and when he returned he had a younger boy with him. He brought him to Britt who was talking with her cousin Hathor. Britt and Hathor looked at them, Britt gave Atem a hug but also smiled then looked at the boy then at Atem. “Who is this?” She asked. Atem took her hand and kissed the top of it as he smirked at her. “My princess meet my younger brother, Yugi.” Atem said and Yugi bowed to her. “Nice to meet you rebel leader and Nile Princess.” He said, both girls smiled as he awaited to hear Britt's next words. Britt snapped her fingers as some people brought her two cloaks. One was black like hers and the other was gray like everyone else's. Britt took both from her friend Mira. Atem was curious as to what she was about to do. She snapped her fingers once again and Nannia came over taking Atem's gray cloak from him then Britt handed him a black one like hers as she handed a gray one to Yugi's. Atem was curious so he had to ask “Why are you giving me a black cloak?” He asked, Britt smiled but Hathor her cousin was confused “To by my Co leader. You're a prince time to start to learn to be a leader when you become king.” Britt said
A couple days past as they took in extra people, The pharaoh's troops. Britt and Atem stood before them, their heads concealed at first until Atem took his hood off. Britt waited as she heard the troops be cheering that their prince was safe. Then she saw their looks on her as she was concealed still, she reached her gloved hands up to her hood as she removed her hood. The troops gasped expecting a Man to be behind the second cloak and they never were expecting a woman to be the head leader of the rebels. Atem took her hand in his as he removed one of her gloves to show her bracelet. He'd known this bracelet was her family crest she used the gloves to hide it so the troops were even more shocked to see the crest of the royal Nile family on her. “This is your hide out, your command.” Atem said
Britt looked among the troops and she decided to speak. “Welcome to the hide out. We'll make the arrangements the best we can. So for your first days you'll train by yourselves but once you've gotten used to being here you'll train with the rest of us.” Britt said. They all were still unaware what was yet to come.

Rebel Princess and the future Pharaoh pt. 13
As the training alone began the place was split for now, At least for a few days so Britt and Atem were apart those days. Britt sat at the top of the stairs watching the people. Jake watched her seeing she was alone.
Britt is alone, this is my chance. He thought then he went to approach their leader but Mana,Mahad and Nana blocked his way. “She's betrothed, back off!” Nana said, she wasn't playing with Jake.
When the couple of days passed and the pharaoh's troops joined with the rebels, Britt was happy. When she got close to Atem he picked her up and then hugged her. “My princess, did you miss me?” he asked her. Britt wouldn't answer him but she did blush slightly. Mana was happy for her best friend, he'd found a lover. She just didn't know they were betrothed to each other.
Everything seemed calm until a loud noise outside caught everyone's attention. Britt run up to one of the second floor windows. When she looked out her face wet pale, her sisters joined up there with her to see their grandfather outside. Hathor and Britt's other cousins also came to see their grandfather there. Meanwhile Mira, Hathor, Olivia, Nannia and Zoey wondered what they were seeing. “How did he find us?” Bre asked, Britt wondered that as well. “girls come out now!” Maahes demanded. The girls were a little scared but Britt wasn't backing down.
She went down and past her group, Atem took her hand making her look at him. “I'm not letting you go alone.” He told her, Britt was gonna protest but he covered her mouth. “You can't talk me out of this.” He told her. She sighed and gave up talking him out of it.
As they approached the doors she put on a stern face then walked out with him. “You're coming home young lady, you and your sisters and cousins. Now!” Maahes demanded. Britt didn't flinch “you can't command the Nile waters and you can't command me. I won't go with you and Neither shall my cousins or sisters.” Britt said. Maahes went to grab her but Atem pulled her behind him. Maahes looked at him it took him a few minutes to see standing in front of him was the prince. “Sorry but no harm will come to my Princess and leader.” Atem said Maahes was confused “Leader?” He asked and Britt came back out from around Atem. “Yes, I am the rebel leader.” Britt said and snapped her fingers. The doors behind them opened the people behind the doors were training but the moment they realized the door was open they stopped. “Britt, what's going on?” Bre asked. Maahes noticed the cloaks, Britt had a black , the people inside had gray, Bre had a blue, Nana had green and the prince had a black one as well.
He could see he was out numbered, so he backed off and left. Britt relaxed knowing that was close. Atem picked her up and took her to her room, It was late anyway so everyone was turning in. When the night turned to day everyone had got up and went back to training, Britt was still asleep and Atem was holding her. She smiled wishing the day would come to be past the rebellion. She was seeing a brighter future. One were she could be royal and not have to worry about her grandfather controlling her life.
Soon a group meeting was called forth and she looked at her followers knowing what was coming for them. She smiled “I wish us well today for we have one target alone. As such we're going to take action and spread a rumor. I will play as the bait of the rumor. People will hide along the outer edge of Kul Elna and the man with the eye will be drawn there.” She said Everyone cheered for her plan. As such people started to spread the rumor around.
Word spread far and wide until it reached Aknadin who started his own plan to go to Kul Elna. Everyone who already was aware of things that it was a set up and the beginning to an end.

Rebel Princess and future Pharaoh pt. 14
Aknadin was making his plans to move his troops to Kul Elna, and while he was doing that Britt and her troops were making their own move and planning. Atem would be right by Britt’s side every time she was making her planning. He may have been future Pharaoh but this was still her group. Her decisions were the final piece of this groups not his. He had to watch seeing her leadership skills grow day by day as she lead her group. He knew she was a great leader and that is what had made him fall in love with her and know he wanted her as his Queen.
Jake had come in the room and he bowed to her which caught her attention. “Yes, Jake?” She asked knowing he was still her ally unless he betrayed her trust. “We have started to spread your rumor around. Word has come back it reached the palace.” He told her. She nods “thank you.” She said and let him leave. She knew too well this wasn’t what Jake wanted from her. She wished to the Gods everyday that he would find someone to replace his obsession with her and end this struggle.
Jake left to go scouting on his own but his best friend Scott had followed him to make sure that no one would hurt Jake. Jake could sense he was followed and he pinned Scott to a tree. “Why are you following?” He demanded. “Because my friend, I don’t want to see you more hurt then you already are by our leader’s rejection.” He answered but clearly was flinching because of how much Jake was using his strength to pin him to the wall. Jake let him go after some time. “Me? Hurt by Britt, no. She’ll come to her senses eventually seeing I’m the better match.” He said. Scott knew Jake was lying to himself into thinking this because their leader was a princess and the better match for her was their rebel champion.
Back in the base Britt set the plans aside as she went to check on the others but before she could get out of her room, Atem had grabbed her and pulled her to him. “Yes My Rebel champion of my group and heart?” She asked him with a teasing voice. He smirked at her as he captured her lips in a kiss, to which she kissed him back. Moments like these she loved with him when they were able to be alone. When they pulled away he had a smirk on his face. “Soon, this will be over and you’ll be my wife. We’ll never have to be apart.” He said. She smiled knowing her future was hers to command now and out of her grandfather’s hands but she worried about so much. Her power was still what she feared people using her for but she didn’t think he would use her for it.
I must trust in Atem that he won’t use me for my power. I know that’s the part of me I’ve still yet to revealed but he does know my Ka is Goddess of the Nile. Britt thought
When they both parted Britt went to see the other troops she walked out and stood where she was above watching their movements. Atem went after her and wrapped his arms around her as they both watched. They knew the people were strong and the group had gotten stronger with Atem’s followers joining them.
“We’re almost ready, just a few more hours and one signal of my uncle appearing in Kul Elna and we’ll never have to worry about another thing.” Atem whispered in her ear. Though as much as she wanted to believe it she was having a hard time because she didn’t think it would be just one attack would be enough. “Maybe, it may just be the beginning before we have to take it to a big all out.” She said. Atem didn’t say anything as he looked over her shoulder but he knew she was right about her words. To take his uncle down it would mean probably going all out and using everyone they had to do so. “Then we plan for the next attack now.” He suggested. As much as she didn’t want it to come to that she knew they’d have to plan that next step together. Both of her hands were on the bar as her arms were relaxing against the bar.
Outside of the place Jake had been about to walk in when he looked through the window seeing the Prince and Britt watching everyone. He got so angry that he went to the stables and he got his horse. He left in anger leaving so fast Scott couldn’t even follow him. He went to Kul Elna to check out the area seeing if Aknadin was even there. He was going to take him down himself so that he could prove he was better.
They’re so close now; she thinks the Prince is everything. I’ll show her and the rest of them. Jake thought
As he went there he saw there was more than just Aknadin looking around but the angry spirits there were attacking his army. Leaving Aknadin defenceless so he went in for an attack but Akandin was too fast and defended himself. “So the leader sends a boy to do his job.” He said but he could see something in the boys eyes when he mentioned the leader. “Or is this leader a woman.” He said which caught Jake off guard. Aknadin took the advantage to knock Jake off his feet and he put his sword near his throat. “Join my side boy, I’ll let your girl live. I can see in your eyes you love this leader.” Aknadin said. Jake was silent and he glared for his secret was he did love Britt but she wasn’t his girl. No, she was already someone else’s lover and he knew that. He could see an option to take the prince’s place but it would mean betraying her.
What do I do? If I betray her trust she’ll never forgive me. Jake thought
