Kahmunrah's POV

"Pharoah Kahmunrah, Katalina is no longer speaking English. She has resorted to Greek only." One of the servants said to me while I was sitting on my throne. 

"Why should I care what she speaks?" I asked her. 

"Maybe you do not, but I do not speak Greek, and I cannot communicate with her at all." 

"You will figure it out," I said in a bored tone. "Now, I am done with this conversation," I said and walked away from her. I feel as though Egypt could use more land than what we already have. Why should we have only this? Egypt is the best. We deserve more. I went to the military training area and called them over. They all came over within the same minute. "I command you to head West and take any land you deem suitable for Egypt, and any land suitable would be any land at all. I do not care how you gain land, just do it. Now go." I said and they all marched off. 

I went back up to the throne room and watched as the servant, who was being a bother earlier, and Katalina walking outside. Now we cannot have that. She will undo all the progress I have made on the people outside the palace. I stalked over to them and stopped them. Katalina jumped from being startled.

"Where do you think you're going?" I sneered down at her. I have never realized I was a lot taller than her. She grabbed above her heart as if in pain. "Why are you holding your heart? It is not as if you're bleeding." I took her hand away from her heart. 

"Θα ήθελα απλώς να βγείτε έξω(I would just like to step outside.)" She said in her useless language. 

"Speak English. You do not need to know your stupid Greek." She glared at me. 

"Ελληνική μου δεν είναι άχρηστη . Δεν θα ανεχτούμε κανέναν πληγώνει μου στο όνομα της Ελλάδα(My Greek is not useless. I will not put up with anyone hurting me in the name of Greece.)" She said standing up straight but as soon as she did so she clutched her heart once again. 

"You're in pain Miss Katalina, please, let me take you to the doctor." The servant said.

"Κανένα! Δεν χρειάζεται να δείτε το γιατρό!(No! I do not need to see the doctor!)" Katalina yelled. Before anything else could be said to her she ran off. 

"Kahmunrah, I do not know what to do, she is in pain and will not cure herself. Her heart hurts." The servant said. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course her heart hurts. She was in love with Ahkmenrah. All of our hearts hurt." I said annoyed. 

"Yes, but none of us have to hold our hands to our hearts. Katalina does." I rolled my eyes again. "Just try to help me get her to the doctor?" 

"No, I have much more important things to attend rather than attending you trying to get Katalina to go to the doctor." I stalked away from her and I turned back to see her going to Katalina's room while trying to convince her to go to the doctor. Maybe I will help this one time. So they don't pester me about it later on. Then they can figure out that it is just heartache from the loss of Ahkmenrah, like the rest of us. I walked to Katalina's bedroom and, no I didn't knock and walked inside.

"Katalina, please, you need to see the doctor." The servant said pleading with her. I saw Katalina sitting next to the window and again clutching her heart. It is all for show. 

"Katalina." I had to stop myself from calling her Greek Girl. "You must go to the doctor. He will tell us what is wrong." She shook her head no. "Katalina. If you do not go on your own, I will force you there myself." I know the doctor isn't going to do anything about it. Ahkmenrah died just yesterday, and as he knows, it is not good to give sad people medication.  The girl didn't get up. She didn't even look at us. 

"Kah, don't." The servant said as I walked over to the girl. The servant even tried to grab my arm back. I pulled it forcefully away and went to the girl and picked her up from her spot.

"Κανένα! Έβαλε κάτω τώρα ! Δεν χρειάζεται ο γιατρός ! Άσε με να φύγω!(No! Put me down right now! I don't need the doctor! Let me go!)" She yelled at me trying to squirm out of my grasp. She tried pulling my arms off of her but failed miserably when she needed to grab her heart again. 

"Kahmunrah, put her down, if she doesn't want to go she doesn't want to go." I ignored the servant and carried a screaming and thrashing girl to the doctor. The doctor opened the door for me and I set her down on his examination table and held her arms down from leaving. 

"What is wrong with her Kahmunrah?" He asked me. 

"Herit says her heart hurts and doesn't believe when I say it is just heartache like the rest of us, and she won't speak English."

"I can look, but it is probably just heartache. It was only yesterday of Ahkmenrah's passing," He said. I looked and saw the girl crying now as I hold her arms down. The doctor checked up on her and when he was finished he wanted me to go over by him. 

"I cannot leave her. She will leave. She does not know Egyptian," I said. He shrugged. 

"Her heart is weaker than what a normal heart should beat at. She has less blood flow. Maybe I should give her medication. But it is up to you."

"She will be fine. She can just rest and it will be okay right?"

"Maybe." I shrugged. She will be fine. 

"She does not need it." I said and let go of the girl's arms and she clutched her heart with both hands and curled into a ball. "Katalina. Let's go back to your room."

"I do know Egyptian." I stared at Katalina's weak voice. She knows Egyptian.
