" mmm... tozouko? " emily looks up into his eyes. " yea? " he kisses her again, and moves down to her jaw. " i... I'm glad you found me... " tozouko pulls her close to him and smiles. " me too... " kissing her again, his hand moves to her breast and the other to her back.
" halt thieves! You have no where to run! " the soldiers jump out to surround tozouko and emily. " the royal guards? What are you doing here? " tozouko pulls emily behind him to protect her from the arrows. " tozouko... we meet again hm? And whats this? You found a new slave hmm? " atem steps forward and slips a hand under her chin. " a pale girl? How did you find yourself here in Egypt? A little exotic for a thief hm tozouko?" he flicks her head away with his hand. " take them back to the palace. I will be there soon. I need to check something... " the guards salute and tie tozouko's hands behind his back. Metal shackles follow. The same is done to emily. " tozouko... " she whispers. " don't worry about it. "
atem walked over to the cliff by the edge of the old town. Looking around, he sees the palace, and the city, and even the valley of the kings. " i should have known he would keep an eye on me from a distance... it's so obvious! " emily looks at tozouko who was looking at the ground as they were pulled behind the soldiers. "tozouko? " she whispers softly. " hm? What is it...? " tozouko barely looks up, his eyes full of sorrow. " don't worry about a thing. I can, and will, get us out of this. Watch. "
emily looks up to the soldiers. " hey guys? " she smiles sweetly at them. " these chains are a little to tight. Could you be some real gentlemen, and loosen them, just a bit? " she shoots them a very charming smile and winks at them. " um... of course. " the soldiers where captivated by her exotic and strange beauty. " why thank you! " the soldiers loosen her bonds and let her slip them in front of her. " you guys are so kind. How can i repay you? " the soldiers blink and look at each other. " no thanks needed miss. It's the only thing we can do to help a young woman like you. " emily smiles again. " well, there must be SOME thing... i know... " she slides up to one of the guards and smiles. " how about this...? " she slides her hand up his chest and winks. Tozouko looks at her incredulously. " what are you doing? " he whispers.
Emily leans up and kisses the guard. Distracting him with her lips, she reaches around and grabs his blade. " thank you, now let me free you. " she plunges the blade into his side and rips up. " urk! " the soldier falls to the ground and coughs blood. " what are you doing? Get back! " the second soldier runs up and draws his blade as well. " i freed him. From this earthbound body. It was the only humane thing to do. " moving quickly, she deals with the second man as well. " i told you not to worry about it tozouko... " emily cuts the ropes around her hands, and reaches into her dress. " there it is. " she pulls out a fine strip on metal and picks the lock. " emily... you where just fooling them? " she sighs and smiles at tozouko. " clueless. Yes. I was tricking them into letting me have to movement i needed. " she moves over, and releases tozouko. " now, we can either go and get away, or go back, and talk to the prince. "
saon was worried. " he has been gone for a long time now. Could something have happened?" saon remembers again the day of birth. " if we send her away , what will we tell the queen? She knows there was two children... " Isis points out. " we will tell her that the one died at birth. But we MUST not ever let her back into the palace. " saon remembers all to clearly. They MUST not allow her to get back here. But is the prince found her, he would bring her back. Hopefully she got away...
" well prince. It looks like if you want something done, you must do it yourself hm? Like i have told you many times in the past. " atem turns around quickly to look at tozouko. " you got away again? What where they doing? " emily smiles. " they where a little distracted. " atem draws his blade. " get ready tozouko. Because today, i will rid Egypt of you once and for all! " emily looks at tozouko and smiles. " i don't think so prince atem. Tozouko doesn't have to deal with you. I will be more than enough to deal with you. " emily steps forward and draws her own sword. " a girl? Are you sure you wish to send your new plaything out to death for you tozouko? And here i thought you might really care for this one. " tozouko glares. " i... i do care for her! And she can handle herself! "
emily points her sword at the prince and scowls. " get ready atem. You can still run away if you wish... " atem blinks and snarls. " i don't think so! I will not run from the likes of a lowly thief! " emily sighs. " alright then. I will have to use force. But i really don't want to. "
emily lunges at Atem and swings her sword. " die prince! " atem jumps out of the way of the sharp blade, and the sound of steel on steel rings clear throughout the air. Tozouko shifts uncomfortably as he watches the battle continue. " stop this at once. You cannot hope to defeat me in this match, and you don't stand a chance at over powering me Otherwise. Give up now thief, and i will let you live. All you need to do, is turn over him. " the prince nods in tozouko's direction. " i have no need to turn him over to you, prince atem. If anything, you won't be leaving here unhurt. Unless you give up, and leave now. "
