Hey guys! It's been a while hasn't it? Anyways, here's the first chapter of the sequel of Untold Past. So if you haven't read that, you might want to just incase stuff here confuses you. If you've read this chapter already (since I posted this on Untold Past chapter 31), feel free to skip this and move onto the second one - or you can read it again and allow it to refresh your memory, your choice.
Without further ado...here's the first chapter to DIVERSION AT THE LOUVRE.

"So...hopefully you won't fail your exam on Egyptology" said Elaine coming out the bathroom, "yeah, though I doubt it" I said, I picked out my favorite clothing that I bought just last week. Ahkmenrah wrote to me about how comfy his "cloak" was, he still doesn't admit his gold cape was a cape. Even after watching superman with everyone else on film night back in New York.
He wrote to me about what fabric it was and how I just had to buy it, who knew pharaohs had such high demands on fashion?
I guess I can't blame him
After all it was really me in my past life who had taught him all about women's fashion...I don't regret it since I can't remember exactly what happened...just a brief one minute or slightly longer memory...
"Women like soft, fluffy rich fabric! Not just any simple fabric you can buy in the markets!" Menivia said. It was a week after Ahkmenrah's coronation, he and his long lost friend were talking about what Queen to be, Lapia should wear on her wedding. But, of course, Lapia did not know that Menivia was part of helping them with the wedding.
"Well, what exactly do I have to do to make a woman feel happy?" Whined Ahkmenrah, "I've tried many things! At the end it still doesn't impress them!"
"Everything...?" Asked Menivia with an eyebrow raised, "reeeeaaaaally?" She asked once more.
"What are you thinking Mev?"
"Everything? Even-"
"NO MENIVIA NO! IM NOT! I DIDN'T! SHE HASN'T BEEN INTO MY ROOM AFTER EVERYONE'S ASLEEP!" He cried, luckily no one was around.
His response only made Menivia laugh like a hyena. "I'm only joking, Ahk! I know you haven't done it yet!" The witch said slapping her friend playfully, "at least not with her" she whispered. Ahkmenrah's eyes widened, the witch only smirked at his response.
Ahk smiled sweetly, "I will kill you, Menivia"
"oh, you'll be the death of me, love" replied the witch sticking her tongue out at the young and quite under-aged pharaoh.
"MEG!" I snapped out of my memory. Elaine had a confused look on her face, "you know...ever since you went to New York last year...you've been...quite...off" said Elaine. "How so?" I asked, "well...ever since you went you've been wearing a lot of gold colored stuff" she started, raised an eyebrow, "you've dyed your hair and become an Egyptology geek!" "It's only because..." I was finding the correct excuse or lie to tell Elaine. She cannot, in a million years know about the museum. Mainly because I swore to keep it a secret...I swore to Ahk I would never tell...
But what could I say? My hair slowly turned gold because I was a witch in my past life, and since something triggered my memory, I'm slowly becoming a witch in this life as well? I have also become an Egyptology geek because I lived there in my past life, became best friends with a pharaoh? Perhaps fallen for him too?
"I...after I studied about eygpt I really fell in love with its history!"
And it's pharaohs! Oh god, shut up, Meg!
Elaine's response was a raised eyebrow, "really? That's the best lie you can give me?"
"I'm not lying"
"yes you are"
"no I'm not"
"I can see it in your eyes" she said, I narrowed my eyes as her frown became an innocent smile.
"Let's go before Cambridge runs out of breakfast" I suggested, Elaine nodded and we headed down to the cafeteria.
On the way down, we bumped into my history professor - Professor. Burgmann, "Miss. Varrowe, Miss. Casteren" he said, "morning professor" said Elaine and I almost synchronized, "Miss. Varrowe, I am truly impressed with your essay on the Tablet of Ahkmenrah" said Professor Burgmann with a smile, "thank you, professor" I said smiling, "why so suddenly this...such improvement?"
Maybe because I fell for a certain pharaoh?
"I took a trip to the Museum of natural history" I started, "since the tablet along with the pharaoh himself was on display there"
"uh-huh, and?"
"And...there I fell in love with the history of Egypt!"
Oh...bringing this up breaks my heart...Even though Ahk was in the British museum (along with Lancelot) it still broke my heart since I couldn't see him...
I've only visited him once, during the day, when he was trapped in his sarcophagus... And very much dead...I talked to him through my mind. I've been practicing the skill with Elaine, she didn't know why she knew what I thought about certain things, but she never bothered to get to the bottom of things anyway.
"Well...I'm glad that you did" said professor Burgmann, "see the both of you in a bit, dont be late for class Castern" he said with a serious tone, "I won't be" said Elaine.
"For your finals, you will be required to know the life of Pharaoh Ahkmenrah" started Professor Burgmann, "Miss. Varrowe!" My head shot up, "yes?" I squeaked, "tell me something about Ahkmenrah"
"What about him?" I questioned, "absolutely anything" said Professor Burgmann sitting down.
"There's quite a lot I know about Ahkmenrah, professor..."
"Anything"
"Well," I started, "Pharaoh Ahkmenrah is the second son of his father,Pharaoh Merenkahre" Professor Burgmann nodded and gestured for me to continue, "his brother, Kamunrah was the first born, who should have inherited the throne, but their parents chose Ahkmenrah to inherit the throne because they could see the dark and cruel personality of Kamunrah's" professor Burgmann nodded, "very well done, Miss Varrowe! That may be your first "A" in your history grade!" I smiled, by fingers playing with my bracelet.
"Never forget me" Ahk whispered into Menivia's ear, "how can I?"
I snapped back to reality...it had been months since my last visit...therefore I should visit him today. The only problem is how to get pass the night guard...whoever he or she is.
"Any plans tonight?" Asked Elaine laying on her bed with her phone in her hands and her shoes on, "I'm going to...well...walk around the city" I lied, lie #5083. "Walk around the city?" Repeated Elaine, "what for? I'd rather you come to the party with me" she said pouting.
"Party?"
"Yeah, Matthew's holding one tonight" explained Elaine. I nodded, "have fun then" I said grabbing my backpack.
I rushed down the stairs, 5:59pm.
Crap.
In one minute, the British museum is going to come alive...
In one minute...I can see him alive again...
