Greek Runaway

Εξήντα τρία(Sixty Three)

Ahkmenrah's POV

-One Year Later-

One Year ago we all came here to try and save the tablet. It worked, but it's also been a year since we've seen Larry and everyone else. I miss them, but at least Katalina stayed with me.

After Larry and everyone left my mother and father questioned why Katalina was staying and it took them a little bit to actually ask about her.

Flashback

I am sad to see Larry and everyone else leave, but at least I get my family back. I went back to where my mother and father were, and Katalina followed me.

My parents didn't seem to notice Katalina standing by me, they were too preoccupied with Lancelot and Trixey. Katalina and I stood off to the side talking.

"Τι γίεται με σαρκοφάγος μου? Είναι ακόυα οτη Νέα Υόρκη.(What about my sarcophagus? It is still in New York.) She asked me.

" Larry θα το στείλει . Και για τώρα , μπορείτε να μοιραστείτε τη δική μου.(Larry will send it. And for now, you can share with me.)" I said winking at her. She laughed.

"Ahkmen, who are you talking to?" My mother asked not being able to see Katalina. I stepped out of the way so she could see her and she seemed surprised and shocked. "Oh, who is your friend?" She asked kind of politely.

"Mother, this is Katalina, she is known as The Greek Runaway. She ran away from war in Greece to Egypt during my ruling. I let her stay and soon we fell in love and we're to be married." I explained.

"Oh, well, I guess welcome to the family, Katalina, The Greek Runaway."

End of flashback

"Ahkmenrah, Τι σκέφτεσαι? (what are you thinking about?) You seem off.." Katalina said coming over to me and hugging me from behind.

"I was thinking about our first night here in The British Museum."

"Is it making you sad?" She asked me.

"No, I do miss everyone, but you are here, and we're making new friends," I said smiling up at her.

A week after everyone left, Katalina's sarcophagus made it to the museum, with everyone assuming she was in it. I stood up to face Katalina and took her hand before kissing her.

"Ahk, Katalina, stop kissing in public!" Tilly scolded us jokingly. Katalina and I broke apart and then we started walking. A few days into staying here we had also found out there was a miniature Ancient Greece. Katalina loves it there and visits it often.

We continued to walk until we got to the Xiangliu. It was sleeping again, much like when the tablet was dying. We never go in, we do like to study it though.

"What could you too possibly be doing here?!" Lancelot said scaring us both. "Do you not remember what happened the last time we came near this dragon?" He asked after we turned around.

"Of course we remember what happened," I said to him. "But we weren't going to wake it up. We do this a lot."

"Do you now? Because you do not like to socialize with the rest of us here?" Lancelot asked.

"Άντε πάλι. (Here we go again.)" Katalina sighed. We have to explain to Lancelot almost every night that we do enjoy the company of others, but we just like to be with one another.

"I also wish one day you'd maybe teach me Greek. You speak it fluently?"

"Of course, I was born in Greece," Katalina said.

"Great teach me." He demanded. All three of us got up and walked over to the library in the museum and sat at a table.

"Okay first I will teach you how to say, My name is Lancelot." She said and he nodded. " Το όνομά μου είναι Lancelot. Okay, now you try."

"Οτ άμονό υομ ιανίε Lancelot." He said wrong.

"Let's try it again. Το όνομά μου είναι Lancelot." He tried again saying it wrong but different from the first time saying it. "Well, that's not quite what I am saying."

"Really? Sounds exactly the same to me." Lancelot said.

"It does? Really? Alright. Let's just try it again. Really listen. Το. όνομά μου είναι. Lancelot" Lancelot said it wrong again. " Ω, Θεέ μου. (Oh my god.)" Katalina said. Lancelot tried to copy her.

"Το όνομά μου είναι Lancelot." Katalina tried again trying to not show her frustration when he didn't say it right again. I think he's pretending. "No." She said upset. She took a breath. "Okay. Maybe if we just break it down. Let's just try and take it one syllable at a time. Okay repeat after me. Το."

"Το."

"Όνομά."

"Όνομά"

"μου."

"μου.

"είναι."

"έίναι."

"Lancelot."

"Lancelot." Katalina would say a word and then Lance would copy her. They did that twice and Lance was getting it right.

"Great, Το όνομά μου είναι Lancelot." Until Lance said it wrong again. "It's too hard I can't teach you," Katalina said standing up.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to leave before I put your head through a wall," Katalina said leaving the room.

"No, don't go! I need you! Το όνομά μου είναι!" He yelled at her pronouncing it wrong again. "I can't believe she left me."

"Well, you weren't getting it right..." I said and went to find Katalina.
