Mariku sat against the wall her wrists still tied to the post, she was bored.. completely bored she tugged at the ropes again and growled, the young girl blinked as she watched one of the ropes threads snap, she tugged harder and one by one the threads snapped, after hours of pulling and biting at the ropes the threads were coming undone.

"Finally" She spoke and looked around, with one final pull one of her hands were free, she tried hard to remove the other rope from her wrist, but the knot was to tightly wrapped. Mariku frowned and rested her head against the post, excited for nothing she thought shaking her head, it was then that she spotted the small sharpened piece of gold laying near by.

She looked at the thing for the next few minutes before she leaned over reaching as far over as she could to grab the sharp object "Come on almost there, I need to get out before dick head comes back" She muttered to herself, the piece of gold just within her finger tips reach. Mariku attempted to lean up onto her knees how ever she barely could move "Fuck". She cursed "Ass fell asleep"

The bronze female growled as she leaned over as far as possible she thought she heard some guards out side of the Bedchamber door "Don;t come in" She muttered to herself, she was so focused onto the sharp gold that she didn't even realize that Akefia had slipped into the room.

"Almost I got yo-". She stopped as Akefia picked the gold piece up from in front of her "Oh fuck.." She cursed and watched as he turned the object in his hand a few times before smirking at her "Looking for this?" He spoke his lips curved into an amused smirk before he threw the thing behind his shoulder, said object landing into a huge pile of stolen goods.

He grabbed a new piece of rope and then her wrist while he cut her bounded wrist free from the post, She tried to fight against him however he was much stronger then her and bounded her hand behind her back. "You're worse than an angry snake in a sack" Akefia muttered as he tossed her into the large mountain of pillows before stabbing the wooden table with a bloody dagger.

"Ow damn it don't be so rough you lo-" Marik stopped in her sent ace as she seen the blood stained knife her eyes looking over ta him , noticing that he to had some blood here and there on him, of which none was his own. "The guards of your parents are looking for you everywhere, seems your very important to them princess" He muttered. Mariku had righted herself up onto her knees, her heart skipping a beat.

"You didn't... you killed them?" She asked sounding in a days looking from the knife to him "You killed my parents guards!? how dare you! you low life bastard!" She yelled trying to get up onto her feet. "I'll kick your ass! I'll Waahhh!" She yelled losing her footing and falling back down onto the pillows "Ow.. damn it I'll kill you myself!" Mariku seethed glaring at him.

Akefia just stared at her for a few minutes before he laughed "Calm your little ass down, I only got rid of the ones that were in my way" He spoke wiping a bit of blood from his face before removing the crimson robe "So what is so important about you any way, other then being a princess, I heard about a big ceremony that was to be held in the palace tomorrow evening" He asked as he took a seat on the pillows as well leaning a little to relax.

Mariku frowned looking over at him as he took his seat, she'd keep a close eye on him "First of all I am not little I am a woman" She spoke as she sat up more, cross-legged blowing a few strands of her blond locks from her face how ever his question threw her off a little "The ceremony was for nothing important" Mariku sighed a grumble at the end "My parents arranged a wedding for me, to Pharaoh Atem".

Akefia blinked before he broke out into a rough dry chuckle :So you have to marry the midget?" He watched her for a few short moments before his attention was shifted to his dagger, picking up a cloth and wiped the thing clean making it shine. "Then you should be thanking me for getting you out of that mess" He spoke breathing onto the sharp blade polishing it.

"Thank you oh so much for kidnapping me away from my home and tying me to a post and throwing me into a huge mountain of pillows, there now can I get the hell out of here? so I can go start my own life and not have to worry about trotting around like some fucking show pony!" She spoke getting up again, only this time it was her skirt that she tripped over landing chest first to the floor "..Ow.. This.. is... bullshit!" She cursed followed by a sigh.

Akefia rolled his eyes "You can't even walk, you wouldn't last a day out there on your own" He spoke before shoving a bowl filled with variety of fruits, mostly grapes and one holding water at her. "Eat and drink and if you behave you will be able to bath" noticing that she was covered in dirt and sand surly the promise of a bath would help calm the woman.

Mariku shook her heed a little and indeed sand fell from her locks , it caused her to chuckle at herself before her eye's shifted to the bowl's , her stomach giving a painful growl of hunger. "And how exactly m I supposed to eat Thief King" She asked , she had remembered his name from all the wanted poster's that were plastered around her kingdoms walls, plus the promise of a bath didn't;t sound half bad.

Mariku had it all planned out she would play the good girl and do as she was told and the first chance he saw she would escape and go back home, She watched as Akefia moved a bit closer and plucked a grape from the bowl below "Open " He spoke Mariku stared blankly at him "...what..". "Open your mouth I will feed you, how ever you bite me I will stop " HE spoke listing the food to her lips again.

Mariku would had bitten the piss out of him by now, how ever the painful growls stopped her from doing so she just remembered the saying 'Never bite the hand that feeds you' she frowned slightly before opening her mouth and took the grape in chewing it, it tasted amazing oh hell did it take amazing, she had gone so long with out eating, the cool juice was welcomed to her dry throat as she look another one in and yet another.

Akefia watched her as she ate and drank the sparkling clear water down, the rumors were true, she was a very fair young woman, skin so soft, she was like a delicate desert rose, unlike the other woman he had met in the past Mariku was truly beautiful by nature.
