Chapter 6: The Raid
*Swoosh*
My dark blue cloak whipped behind me as I walked. I would need this cloak since a she to and loin cloths the only things I've been wearing since I got here.
*Jingle, Jingle*
God damn it, this jewelry is heavy! How do they wear all of this!? How are they quiet in this!? *sigh* This is yet another thing I'll just have to deal with...
*Jingle, Jingle*
Loud jingling noises continued to come from me as I made my way to the stables along with Akefia's chosen bandit crew members.
It was Akefia (of course), Marik, Me, Mai, Smenkhare, and a bunch of other people that I don't know. Since did not have a horse yet, I rode to our destination with Akefia. He said I was going to get my own horse, but until then I had to ride with him.
In the midst of our journey, curiosity got the better of me and I had to question where our whereabouts and destination would be.
"Where are we going!?" I asked.
Akefia was about to respond, but Marik's loud voice rang out from behind us, "You'll see!" Akefia simply nodded his head in the direction of Marik.
We had been riding for what seemed like forever. Hell, it probably was forever because the night had fallen sometime ago. Deathly bored and craving excitement, it was then that we stumbled upon another large, palace-like building.
Mai rode up beside me on her horse. "Heba, do you know where and what this is?" she asked. I shook my head 'no' and Akefia chuckled. "This, is pharaoh's lovely palace!" He exclaimed with a jovial look on his face.
That look soon disappeared when it was overcome by a terrifyingly crazed smile.
"And tonight...We're going to turn this place into a heap of useless shit..." The way he growled out those words was utterly horrifying, but I couldn't be afraid because I had something else that consumed my thoughts. However, I didn't even have time to think because we were already speeding off in the direction of the palace, coming closer and closer to it.
When we got to the wall, Akefia explained the whole plan to me. "They're having a party right now, so the plan for right now is to take what we can and get out. If you run into anybody do not hesitate to kill them." He tells me as he tossed me my weapon. A poisoned dagger.
"Let's go." He said, before climbing the wall. I followed suit along with at least two others.
We climbed through the window and into
what must've been the pharaoh's resting quarters. Akefia crept over to the door and slowly opened it with great caution. He gave us the signal that no one was there, and told our two accomplices to take the left hall. Before taking the the right hall, he told me to stay in the pharaoh's room and hide. When he began swiftly running down the he hall, I shut the door.
Barely entertained, I rummaged through the decked out room just to see just what the pharaoh had. He's royalty, so of course he's got a lot of valuables. I picked up a beautiful brown jewel and observed it. I couldn't help but love it because it reminded me of the home I once had and can barely even remember. I heard a clicking and twisting sound. Oh, shit. Someone's coming, where do I hide? Where do I go!? WhatdoifuckingdoIshould'vebeenlookingforahidingplaceI'msostupid—
My mental freak out was cut short by a handsome man who looked like a taller, manlier version of me. I covered myself with the blue cloak and stealthily slipped the gem into my loincloth.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" He asked in a surprisingly calm and composed voice. His voice was a deep, almost seductive, baritone.
"Uh...I'm lost?..." I sort of trailed off.
"Bullshit."
