Marik sat down on a rock, by the Palace pond.The moon shone down on him.He had been here many times before, memories came rushing back to him, a soft rustle of clothing behind him brought him back to reality.He turned unsheathing his dagger.A young maiden backed up a bit, she had short brown hair and was dressed in the Egyptian traditional dress.
"Telita" he whispered
"Marik" the maiden whispered back.
Marik sheathed his dagger, standing up.
"What makes you so tensed?" Telita asked quietly, her voice sounded like silk.
"Nothing." Marik said a smile playing at his lips, he offered her his hand.
"Marik, do you have something you wish to discuss with me?" She asked taking his hand gracfully.
Marik hesitated but started walking "Yes, actually"
"What is it?" she asked walking along with him.
"Im tired of coming here"
Telita stopped "You don't wish to visit anymore?"
"No!" he said a little loud, "Thats not what I meant"
Telita still wasen't asured.
" I want to be with you always, I don't want to jump over the gates, past the guards just to see you caged up here like a bird!" Marik said stopping and looking into Telita's eyes.
Her eyes softened, "Marik, think about what you are saying, I ,the maid to the Pharoah, And you Egypt's best assasin.If we left here, the guards would follow us, no matter where we could go."
"Telita, have some faith, we could just leave here and live together for ever!"
Telita sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Perhaps"
Marik took her hands and knealed "Telita, I beg you, on my knees, come with me."
Telita's eyes widened. "Y..You are leaving?"
Marik turned away "Yes" he whispered quietly
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked desperatly.
"I did not want you to worry about me"
"For how long? she demanded
Marik began to walk away, "Forever"
Telita froze
"F..forever?"
Marik didn't answer, he began climbing the wall.
"Marik?"
"Marik, please answer me!" she cried running to the wall
Marik stopped once he was on the top.
"If you want to come with me, meet me outside here" those were his last words as he hopped over the wall.
"Marik?"
There was no anwser
Telita fell to her knees
"MARIK!"
Telita sobbed, her dress became spotted.
