Np and POE pt. 10 start for a change

Britt was quiet and she sat down near her horse. Atem stayed there but he stayed by his horse. Things between them were quiet and Britt closed her eyes to just relax. She layed her head on her horse's soft fur and drifted to sleep. Atem watched her and once again he was seeing the peaceful Britt who he used to know and was her friend. A few minutes passed and he knew they needed to get back. So he carefully moved over to where she was and tried to wake her. He noticed she must have been in a deep sleep so he carefully picked her up. He grabbed her horse's reigns and then used a rope that was on his horse so it would stay up with him.

When everything was settled he found a way to get up on his horse with Britt in his arms and headed back. It was a few minutes after they started heading back that Britt opened her eyes some. She slightly  blushed when she woke up in his arms noticing they were moving. Atem had just got half way around to the other side when he noticed she was awake. He knew they still had time and after they were on the other side he stopped by the Nile to let her down.  Britt carefully got down and walked over to her horse untying it and letting it drink from the Nile.

Her thoughts were all scrambled on what had happened and what may happen. She stood there with her horse for a few minutes and then she felt someone was behind her. She turned around to face Atem and she looked up at him. They starred at each other for some time not saying anything when subconsciously they were both leaning in towards each other. They were close to kissing again when the horses made noise making them realize what was going on.

Whoa, I almost kissed him again.. Britt thought.

“come on, we should get back.” Atem said as he mounted his horse. Britt went over and got on hers as they headed back to the palace. Even though they didn't want to admit it they felt something for each other. On the way back things were quiet and they soon arrived at the palace in time for dinner.

When they reported for dinner everyone was there including Britt's friends. Heather, Olivia, Nina and Miranda all spotted the ring on Britt's finger and they smiled. Jake had his hand under the table and clenched it into a fist knowing he really needed to make his move before it was too late but the only thing he didn't know was it probably was too late.

Everything was peaceful at dinner and for the first time in front of everyone Atem and Britt were talking having a civilized conversation. Nina and Miranda wondered what changed but they looked and could see something was there between the Prince and their princess friend. Jake watched in jealousy as he saw Britt laugh at something Prince Atem said. He knew in the twelve years he has known her that he never seen her laugh so easily.

After dinner Atem had to stay behind for a private conversation with his father. But everyone went their separate directions. Jake caught up with Britt and grabbed her. “Hey Britt, how about I help you break off that engagement?” Jake asked. Britt just looked at him “you are not doing anything. Jake I am sorry but you are a friend only and if I decide to go through with the marriage then it is my choice.” Britt said walking away.

In the private conversation Atem found out that he would be soon going through a ceremony to be the Pharaoh of the land. “As my heir, it is time for you to take your rightful place as Pharaoh. I see that you and Britt seem to be getting along fine now so I see no reason why you and her can not plan the marriage soon. Remember son, A pharaoh  needs an heir to take after him.” His father told him. “yes father.” Atem said to his father.

Atem left the room but he could tell something was wrong with his father to bring up the ceremony for him being Pharaoh. So far him and Britt had not come any closer to breaking off the betrothal. He started to think that he really didn't want to break it off but he wondered how Britt felt about it.

Would she even consider being my wife by her own choice? Atem thought as he kept walking.

A few days passed as the preparations for the ceremony involving Atem becoming Pharaoh was being set up. Britt had noticed it though whenever she thought of Atem becoming Pharaoh, she was starting to see what her life could be like. She knew it was expected of her to become the Queen of this palace. Jake had done many things to try and get between Britt and Atem, but every time he did Britt turned him down.

Night came soon and it was the night before Atems ceremony to be Pharaoh. Britt was walking out in the hallways to clear her mind. She couldn't really see well when she bumped into someone. “sorry” She said. It took her a second to realize she bumped into Prince Atem. “Prince Atem, I'm So-” She didn't get to finish when she felt him cover her mouth. She panicked a little wondering what was going on but then she felt him pick her up and take her somewhere they could talk in private. Then he removed his hand from her mouth. “Sorry, but we need to talk.” He said.

Britt didn't really want to talk. “can we talk later. I want to do something that has nothing to do with rules.” She said to him. That caught his attention right away to see that she was more than meets the eye. He smirked slightly “you do not like rules. So you may want to break some rules. What if I helped you.” He said. This caught Britt's attention, she knew there was one rule that if broken could either break the betrothal or seal it for eternity. Almost like a double edged sword. “fine then help me and break the most important rule we are suppose to follow.” She said.

Atem picked up on which rule she meant, he knew the same thing she did that this could make it good for them or not. “fine but we tell no one we did it.” He said. “Agreed.” She said. Atem smirked slightly at her and she got frustrated as she pulled him to her in a kiss. He kissed back immediately and then he picked her up. He made her stop so he could know where he was going but she knew this could change things between them.

Britt knew they couldn't go to her guest room because of Bre being there.  So when she saw him open the door to his bedchambers she blushed some. It made her more hesitant and nervous being around him knowing what they were planning to do.

Bre was in her room,waiting for Britt to return from her walk but she walked over to the window and talked with Ceon. She smiled some as she realized things about him she never knew like how he was born with wings that he could easily hide at will. She had really fallen for him in the short amount of time she'd really known him but she just felt a connection.

Atem set Britt down on her feet and waited to see what she'd do next. Britt was hesitant but she once again pulled him into a kiss.
