(Gabrielle's POV)
Ow, my head...what happened? One minute I was with all of my friends celebrating the day of my sister and my birth and the next...I am...I feel around and notice that I am laying on something soft. I sit up to see that I am in some type of carrier, this is like those the princesses would come in when they would try and seduce Atem. But why am I in one? What is going on? I move to the edge and push the curtain away to look out. I see that I am on ship.
"H-hello?" I call out.
I step out and I turn to see men dressed in Spartan clothing, they all turn to me and I was about to activate my magic when they kneel down to me. What the hell is going on?
"Princess, you are awake," The head warrior says.
P-princess!?
"Princess? Me!?"
(Maria's POV)
It has been two days since my sister was kidnapped, why did it have to be her? What is going on?
"Oh sister, where are you?" I ask into the sky.
"We will find her," Shada says, walking up.
"It has been two days since the party, who knows who has her or where she is. She can be anywhere by now."
"The Pharaoh has sent a message to all of the kingdoms we are allied with to keep an eye out for her. Even the land you hail from."
"Oh by Zeus, if our mothers find out, this will not end well!" I panic.
I know our mothers will not be happy finding out that Gabrielle was kidnapped, by Hades, if the wolves find out, no man will be left standing.
"How is the Pharaoh?" I ask, remaining formal.
"He is...not well," Shada tells me. "He has hardly slept, hardly eats. I fear he will continue on this path if we do not find your sister soon."
He's really that bad? Why? I know that we have been friends since Gabrielle and I first arrived here, but to be like this? Does he like my sister more than a friend? I shake my head, no, the Pharaoh knows he can only marry a princess. I sigh and turn to Shada.
"Tell the guards to change. Send the ones here in the palace out into town, the ones who are searching can return to rest," I order.
"Of course."
I watch as he walks away, I turn and head back inside, I should return to my duties of protecting Atem and Seto. I enter the throne room to hear Seto and Atem arguing.
"You need to eat and rest," Seto says.
"I will when she has returned," Atem responds.
"We have no idea where she is or if she is even alive," Seto argues. "It has been two days, anyone could have her. Maybe she left of her own accord."
"She would never leave!" I yell, causing them to face me. "Gabrielle loves it here, she would never leave for no reason. I know she is alive, we are more connected then you know, if she dies I will feel it."
"Maria-" Seto starts.
"Never, ever assume that she would do such a thing!" I yell at him, walking over to him.
"I...I am sorry, I just want him to take care of himself," Seto sighs.
"Please Atem, Gabrielle would want you to take care of yourself," I say. "She would be sad to see you in such a state. Please, go and rest."
"Fine," Atem sighs.
I watch as he leave the room and heads to his chambers.
"Have two guards stationed in front of his room," I order.
The men nod and leave the room, we need to keep our eyes open for anymore people that could attack anyone else.
(Atem's POV)
I remove my jewelry and top and sit on my bed, I place my head in my hands. Two days, two days since I heard her laugh, seen her smile, heard her speak. Am I in love with her?
"Dear Ra, what is wrong with me?" I whisper. "Will I ever find her? Will I ever find the one who will be my queen?"
I lay back onto my bed and finally fall asleep after not sleeping for two days. Soon, I find myself in a dark room, I look around when I see The Winged Dragon of Ra, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and Obelisk the Tormentor. I gasp and kneeled to them.
"We have heard your prayers," Ra says. "You have found your queen."
"I-I have?"
"Yes, your missing friend," Slifer says. "She is strong and kind. She will be your queen."
"But she is gone!"
"She will return in due time."
(Greece, Regular POV)
"You are my parents?" Gabrielle asks.
"Yes," Menelaus responds.
"So why abandon me and my sister in the forest?"
"We did not abandon you," Helen says. "You and your sister were taken from our palace, we searched for years when the war began."
"So, were the people ever found that took us?" Gabrielle questions.
"Yes, they informed us that you grew up in Thebes by two women," Menelaus answers. "We talked with them and they told us you and your sister went off to Egypt to escape the war."
"So...kidnapping me was the best option and you left Maria behind," Gabrielle points out. "Just so you know, I am a powerful Magi who works for the Pharaoh."
Menelaus and Helen go quiet, their daughter is a higher up in Egypt? This does not bode well now. Menelaus sighs and calls in the guards that captured his daughter and demands an explanation. To say the least, Menelaus is not happy.
"Send word to the Pharaoh and invite them to our party," Helen says. "We will be telling the citizens of Sparta that our daughters have returned."
"Yes your majesty."
"Idiots," Gabrielle sighs.
"Come, I will show you to your room," Helen smiles.
Gabrielle smiles and nods, she feels...safe and welcomed. But her mind returns to her friends and sister back in Egypt, she prays that they are okay.
