Chapter 6: Escape into Another Trap
((Scene Change)) (I'm borrowing this method from someone since my method could not be seen).
Silent footsteps were heard throughout the hall, no noise was heard around her as she walked to her room.
As she made a turn, she came face to face with a pair of bluish and greenish orbs.
The younger brunette crossed her arms over her breasts, a glare coming out from her serious eyes.
The sunset was played as the background with large shadows next to the figures.
"Where were you?" Kyoui asked, standing in one place.
"Why do you care brat?" Kora confronted, covering an object with her sleeve. Kyoui's eyes skimmed down to her hands. "What are you hiding?"
"Why does it concern you?"
"Because I have the right to know!"
"A fifthly slave like yourself, I don't believe you do."
Kyoui's hands turned into fists, her expression becoming annoyed and dangerous. But the ice princess did not move but stayed in place for a brief moment, before walking pass her. The fifteen year olds hand shot out, grabbing the wrist with the trinket.
"Do you really want to know?" Kora inquired, not bothering to stare at the girl but continuing to look ahead.
Kyoui did not respond after a minute, then, soon after, she replied. "What do you have? I know it's important for you to hide it."
"Maybe it is…maybe it isn't. If it were meant for you to see, I would have shown it to you but its not."
"Last time Atemu was here to save our lame ass but now you have no one to protect you."
The older woman smirked. "Go ahead but what happens when a servant passes by, or a guard. You'd be placed in the dungeon for life."
"For what? Doing everyone a favor?"
"For attacking the pharaoh's future wife."
((Scene Change))
The man revealed his face; a smirk had formed across his lips with a pair of demon eyes that stared at the pharaoh and his love.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here boys; the great and mighty pharaoh!" The leader mocked, his group laughed. "Shouldn't we bow before him?"
"That's enough you fifthly, unwanted street rat!" One of Atemu's guards snapped. "You have no right to speak to our pharaoh that way!" The man held his spear up to the man's throat.
The leader glared down at the guard. "Me? Fifthly and unwanted plus a street rat? Shouldn't you be saying that to the girl?"
Atemu growled, his arms around Téa's waist tightening. "Take that back you bastard! Just state our name and purpose!"
"My name?" He grabbed the spear from his neck and through it straight to the ground along with the guard. This made the others hold up their weapons.
"Bakura, the King of Thieves." Once more Bakura mocked the pharaoh only this time by bowing.
He looked up at pair. "And I could see you are holding something precious, eh?"
"State you purpose!" Atemu yelled.
But the leader chuckled before commanding his horse the other way. "We will meet soon in the future." He took a quick glance at the beauty. "Sooner than you think."
With that, they turned and rode west.
((Scene Change))
The long haired brunette sat in Indian style (don't know what else to call it) on her bed, gazing down at the floor.
"Pharaoh's future wife?" She had snorted, letting her go. "Don't make me laugh! There's no way a bitch as yourself could ever win Atemu's heart since his heart already belongs to Téa and in vice versa!"
They glared at each other; Kora broke the silence. "It's true. You see, last night Atemu and I had…well…let's just say we 'mated'." The princess smirked at the younger girl's stunned expression. "And he gave me this…"
The woman showed the servant a golden ring, one which indeed proved that she was the king's mate.
But Kyoui shook her head side to side, denying what this whore was telling her. "That's not true!" She had shouted. "You probably stole it! There's no way in Ra's name Atemu would marry you!"
"Face it little girl, I won. The facts are all around you; my sweetheart would never love an outsider. Now, if you would move out of the way, I have things to do." With that, the princess had shoved Kyoui out of the way and continued to where she was going.
Once more she shook her head, but that encounter continued to play in her mind. Did Atemu really have it with her? Were they really getting married? But what about his feelings for Téa? Are they all a lie?
Her eyes then snapped open. What had she said about winning? 'That's right.' She thought, eyes widening. 'She said 'I won.'. But why would she say that? What does that mean?'
She tried to think of many explanations, one that would fit the shoe. But there were only blanks. 'I have to confront that whore and demand what she meant!'
Kyoui hopped off the bed and quickly left the room.
((Scene Change))
"Master, why did you spare them? We should have killed them when we had the chance!" One of the men inquired, drinking down some of his wine.
"That is true Master! We could have killed them and took over the kingdom; we would have been the richest sons of bitches in all of Egypt!" Another joined. Others nodded their heads, questioning their leader.
Bakura drank another gulp of his wine, slamming it on the table and demanding more. He looked at his group and smirked. "What?"
"Master we could have killed the pharaoh there and then; why let him go?"
Another cup of wine was given to the man. "So…you all question me, is that correct? You don't trust me, eh?"
"That's not true Master-"
"Then why do you all ask?!" he snapped. "Must I really explain it?"
Judging by their faces, he did and groaned about their stupidity. "Look, what would have been the point of just killing the pharaoh there; someone explain."
"Um…we could have…um…ruled Egypt…" One answered.
"Anyone could just go over there and kill the man for Ra's sake!" Bakura roared. "But it takes real men to go over there and make him suffer, slowly and painfully." A large evil smile crossed over his face, as if he were picturing it all in his mind. "But I just don't mean stab him and wait for him to die."
"Then what do you mean my lord?" The same one asked. The cup of wine was thrown to his face, the cup hitting him on the eye.
"Many of you are here with me today for what the previous pharaoh has done to your lives and family; am I correct?"
Most of them nodded, painful memories written all over their faces.
"Then we must return that favor to his son, the new pharaoh by making him suffer as we had."
Many cheered and toasted to that.
((Scene Change))
The couple walked through the palace hallway, Atemu's arms around his love while she rested her head on his shoulder. The sun had collapsed behind the horizon and it was dark as only the candies were lilted up.
As they reached the brunette's room, Téa stopped. She bowed her head. "Good night Atemu."
But she didn't get the chance to pull away for his grip tightened. She looked up at him. "Atemu?"
He turned her so that her hands and upper body were touching his chest. "Where do you think you're going?" He whispered, their eyes meeting each other's.
"I was planning on entering my room so I may sleep; is that a problem?" She inquired.
"You were planning on leaving me all ready?"
"Well…I am pretty tired-"
"But you'll be sleeping in my room tonight."
The thought of sleeping in the same room as Atemu, sleeping in the same bed, brought heat to her face. "W-w-what?" The girl stammered, her blush showing its bright red color.
He smirked and kissed her on the lips. "Am I skipping some steps; ignoring the hand in hand part?" He asked against her lips.
"No…"
"Then what's the problem?"
She thought for a moment; sleeping in the same bed as Atemu did sound nice, beyond that word. She smiled dreamily at that thought. "Alright."
He grinned before lowering himself to her ear. "I love you."
"And I love you too…"
((Scene Change))
Behind a corner, a certain redhead overheard the conversation until the sound of Atemu's door was closed. She broke an object into pieces before it crashed on to the floor. She then walked away in the shadows.
((Scene Change: In the Morning))
Soft breathing was heard in the bedroom where a man and woman slept together. Of course they hadn't 'done it' but you may say that they were enjoying themselves in each other's arms.
As the sunlight hit the girl's, her eyes opened. She yawned and looked over her handsome pharaoh. He looked so cute and peaceful just breathing in and out; making her want to kiss him.
But if she did she would have surely woke him up. Gently she was about to place her feet on the ground, getting ready to fetch the chief's items when two strong arms wrapped around her waist and a sleepy head rested on her shoulder. His breathing on her neck made her giggled.
Atemu grinned. "Morning."
"Good morning!"
"And where were you planning on going so early?" He inquired, kissing her neck.
"Just going to help the chief, you know, go to the market and pick up what he needs." Téa explained.
The pharaoh frowned. "You mustn't." he stated. "It's too dangerous; remember there are those thieves from yesterday and they may hunt you down. Just stay here okay? I'll send someone else to do your job."
She blinked. 'I forget about that.'
She turned her head to her lover. "When am I able to leave the palace?" Téa inquired. Even though she enjoyed herself here with her love and her new friends, she was still part of the streets of Egypt for that was where she had spent her childhood and she did not feel comfortable not seeing it again.
Atemu thought for awhile before answering, "One month."
Her eyes widened in shock. "One month!"
"Please Téa, do not hate me for this but I do not wish for what happened a few years ago to happen again, remember?" he asked softly but of course, how could she forget. That was how Atemu saved her.
She sighed. "Alright, one month it is."
"Good, now…" he smirked. "Let's have a little bit of 'fun' before I have to go to work."
She blushed once more before they started making out, lying down on the bed.
((Scene Change: Later))
Kyoui walked down the hallway, searching for the princess. She's looked everywhere and even asked some of the servants to where she was but nothing.
'Damn, how could she disappear when I need to find her and re appear when I don't want her around? Man, she really is a demon.'
She smirked at her own joke. Suddenly, she spotted a certain somebody.
((Scene Change))
Téa looked at her reflection through the fountain. She was in the garden, surrounded by the different kinds of flowers. Atemu had been with her but that was before he was called into a meeting but he assured her that it would only take a few minutes.
She had a dreamy smile on her face while playing with the water with her finger. She and the man of her dreams were finally together and she couldn't be happier.
"Téa!"
She turned around after hearing her name; she gasped. "Kyoui!"
Téa stood up and hugged her friend. They soon released each other. "Téa it's good to see you!"
"Same here Kyoui!"
"Well, well, well…" They spun around to see an unwanted guest.
Kora walked up to the two. "Seems here that my Atemu has rescued a bitch from the cold, cold streets."
"Shut up Kora!" Kyoui threatened.
"I only speak the truth. After all, she was born on the streets."
"What if I was?!" Téa snapped, having heard enough.
Kyoui stepped away; she had never seen her friend in rage and was obviously afraid. Even Kora was a bit taken back.
"What if I was born outside the palace?!"
"Then my Atemu would never want you!"
"Listen here whore!" The brunette pointed to her on the chest. "First of all, he's not yours! He's mine!"
"Yours?"
"You have a problem with that?!"
"What if I do?"
"Then you seriously have a problem. Second, what's wrong if I wasn't born high class? Well, let me tell you something."
Furious hazel eyes stared into the emerald's eyes. "I'm glad I was born outside the palace because if I wasn't, I may have been like you: a stupid, spoiled, selfish, ugly whore who doesn't deserve the kindest of a pharaoh like Atemu. And I'm only speaking the truth."
She then shoved past her.
'Oh no she didn't!' Kora yelled in her mind, grabbing the brunette by the wrist. "Just wait one-"
She didn't even get to finish her sentence for was punched in the face…
//Splash//
…and fell into the water.
Kyoui stuck the tongue at her and ran behind Téa, who was walking away. Kora growled, touching the cheek where she had punched her (and that was starting to bruise). 'Oh she is so going to get it!'
((Scene Change))
"That was awesome!" Kyoui exclaimed, raising her fist to the air. "The way you yelled at her and then punched her right in the face!"
The other brunette blushed in embarrassment, rubbing the back of her neck. "Thanks."
"I've never seen you like this, what caused you to snap?" The girl asked.
Téa looked up into the sky.
"Fifthly and unwanted plus a street rat? Shouldn't you be saying that to the girl?"
"I guess, I'm tired of people picking on me because I'm not royal. They see me as someone who could never anyone."
"That's okay!" Kyoui assured. "Once Atemu marries you, they'll see you as their queen!"
She flushed extra color, "Wait, what!"
"Come on! The reason you're here is because Atemu found you, right?"
"Well,-wait! How do you know this?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Well, after two days without you Atemu told me that he loved you and was going to bring you back."
"H-he did?"
"Yup! And speaking about Atemu, there he is!"
Téa looked forward and sure enough, there he was.
"I better leave and give you guys some alone time, see ya later!"
"Bye Kyoui!"
((Scene Change: At Night))
Atemu walked over to his chamber; there he would wait for his beloved. After dinner, she had gone to her own room to change into something more suitable for the dessert night.
He sighed dreamily; he enjoyed having her next to him on the bed, her soft breathing against his chest and her soft hands on top of it.
He awake from his thoughts at the sound of footsteps, once he was in front of his door. "Who's there?" he demanded loudly, his voice booming through the hallway. A woman appeared.
"Kora!" He exclaimed; a bit surprised for he was not expecting her. She was in red dress; most of it was see-through silk. She was also carrying two cups of wine.
The princess smiled brightly. "Atemu! Hi! I was wondering if I could have a word with you…it won't take that long." she explained with hopeful eyes.
"Sure."
"In private, like in your chamber."
He hesitated; if his Téa were to enter there while he was talking to Kora she may get the wrong idea. "Um…alright, but please make it quick."
She nodded and entered the room, sitting on his bed. He sat next to her. "So, why did you need to see me?"
She looked up at him before bursting into tears. She rested her head on his chest while the pharaoh was a bit taken back.
"Kora?"
"Atemu is it true?!"
"What's true?"
"That you're planning on leaving me?"
"What?!" He said with wide eyes: since when were they together?
"You know, sending me back to the shore of that river?"
"Oh…"
"It's not true, is it?
"No, no, who told you that?"
"Téa and Kyoui."
"What! They would never say such a thing."
"But it's true! I over heard them saying that you and Téa finally got together, you did get together right?"
"Umm…yeah." His cheeks beginning to redden.
"Oh…anyway, I told her 'congratulations' and she just glared at me and said, 'Fuck off bitch, he's mine!'"
"That can't be true." He was 100 sure that his love would never shout at anyone (or call anyone a bitch) unless they did something to her.
"But it is! Then they told me that you were going to leave me and send back to that Nile. I said to them that I don't believe them before Téa punched me in face!" She even showed him the mark.
The pharaoh shook his head. "Kora, I'm not sure if I would believe that. I've known them for most of my life and I know that they would never do such things."
"Please believe me, just confront them and tell them to leave me alone!"
"Alright, alright, I will." He assured.
She smiled brightly. "Oh thank you Atemu! You really are Ra's son!"
He blushed slightly at the comment. "No problem."
"Oh, I brought you a drink because I just knew you would be able to help me!"
"Thank you, that sounds very refreshing."
She quickly gave him the wine before getting her own. "Let's toast that will be friends for life."
He grinned softly. "Alright, friends for life."
Their cups hit each other's before the two teens gulped the whole thing down. Suddenly, the pharaoh's face began to ashen, his eyes closing softly before clasping on the bed.
Kora smiled evilly, then laying on him. "Friends for life," she whispered, nuzzling against his cheek. "And beyond that my love."
She traced a finger around his lips, kissing them gently and remembering the last time she kissed them.
((Scene Change))
Téa crooned softly to herself; an old song that her mother used to sing when she was happy, when she was in love.
While making her way to Atemu's chamber, she wondered if she had taken too long…or she was dressed right. She wore something loose but not too loose, just something Atemu would love to see on her. At least she thought (and hoped), she didn't want to be like Kora the whore.
She had been planning on wearing a red silk dress but apparently that turned out to be missing.
Once at her destination, she opened the door softly, wishing to surprise him.
Unfortunately, it was vice versa.
There was the man of her dreams in bed…with Kora!
Her heart shattered. The redhead's head was resting comfortably on Atemu's well-tone chest. Atemu wore no upper clothing and the blankets where up to Kora's shoulders.
Had they? Did they?
She shook her head violently, tears bursting out before thrusting away, running to her chamber.
Once there, she threw herself to her bed, continuing to cry.
After moments, she stopped, trying to control herself and it ended up to a few sniffs. As that happened, she started to feel something. As if something was not right. 'But what could it be?' she wondered.
It was silent, just silent, no other sounds aside from her breathing…
And someone else's.
A dagger was fixed to her throat, the sharp tip poking it while a hand covered her mouth. She eyes showed dread as a mocking voice whispered into her ear, "Hello…"
