Chapter Three: Eighteenth Birthday
672 Words
Time passed Safiya by quickly as she got to spend time with her mother, it felt as if it had been only a few days since her mother had come home and now here Safiya was about to have her eighteenth birthday. For the past 8 years her mother had been teaching her how to use her powers as a Goddess, while her father continued teaching her his ways of war.
Safiya was a perfect split of the two gods, caring, kind, loving like her mother but a fiery temper like her father that everyone feared. She had grown beautiful, her pure white hair had grown long and curly, she was about 5'6 and weighed about 125lbs. She had a very comely shaped body, and her bosom was incredibly large, it was at least a double f cup and she tried very hard to hide it.
Her mother was very protective of her and never allowed her to date, and although Safiya wondered why she knew better than to question her parents. She had found out quickly what happens when her mother gets angry, it was a scary sight to behold.
Her birthday celebration was a wonderful as all the others had been, but there was something different about this one, she could feel an uneasiness in the air around her mother and father, even around Anubis. Although he preferred his Godly Dog form, on occasions such as these he took his human form. Safiya had always thought him incredibly handsome, because as a God he was.
But today, there was no fun jokes from him, he seemed to have a solemn expression on his face the whole day. When night fell, he kept looking at Safiya anxiously as if he were waiting for something to happen. Anubis wasn't the only one. Finally, after a full day of constant uneasy stares, Safiya had had enough.
“Okay,” she says after all the guests except her father, mother and Anubis left, “Why have you all been giving me the look of impending doom all day like you know something I don’t?”
Bastet let out a sigh and looked at Aries, then Anubis, before looking at Safiya, “It's hard to explain dearest one. To be quite forward with you tonight you are going to be hit with years, and years of memories. Your memories.”
Safiya sat down in a chair and gave a questioning look to them all, “Memories of what exactly?”
Anubis looked at her and for the first time she saw sadness in his eyes, “Memories of your past lives, your deaths, and of all the years you have spent in the underworld with me.”
Safiya made a clicking noise with her tongue once, as she always did when she was lost in thought.
“My memories of my past lives? You're kidding right? I mean how come I don't have any knowledge of these lives? And why am I just finding out about them now?” Safiya asks, her head was spinning.
Anubis sits next to her and puts his hand on hers. “You are just finding out about this now because we didn't want you to spend the past eight years trying to force yourself to remember. Knowing how stubborn you are, it could have had a bad effect on you. Just know that if you have questions or need us to clarify something we are here. What I fear for you is your memories of your time in the underworld. Things got bad for you a few times.”
Anubis thought back to those days, things had gotten very bad when she had died the first time, but there was more there than he wanted others to know. At least not yet...
Safiya wasn't sure what to think but she trusted her parents, and she trusted Anubis, so that night she went to bed and waited. The memories would come when they did, there would be no stopping them.
