The next day, Atemu walked into Mikaela room to check on her. To his relief, Mikaela is sleeping, but her eyes were puffy from crying last night. Brushing her hair off of her face, Atemu understands the pain she went through. He lost his father to Anzu 5,000 years ago, and the pain still hasn't left his heart. Atemu wished he can do something to help her ease the pain in her heart. All he can do is be there for her as her friend. Knowing that he has to get some blood, Atemu planted a kiss on Mikaela's forehead gently and quietly left the bedroom.
"Me and the others are going to the council to get some blood." Atemu said as Mana smiled.
"I'll keep an eye on Mikaela. Maybe I can take her to go shopping. That's should cheer her up a bit."
"Good idea." Isis smiled as Atemu did the same thing.
"Do you want me to bring you some blood?" Odion asked.
"Yes please."
Mana smiled as the Atemu and the others besides Mana left the room. Walking into Mikaela's room, Mana watched Mikaela sleeping. Mana understands her pain of losing someone that she loves. Mana felt the same way she lost her lover to slayers.
Their breakfast with the council was just small conversations.
"Atemu," Na u walked over, greeting the group as Atemu and the others greeted him.
"My King." The group bowed their heads.
"How's our human friend, Mikaela?"
Atemu sighed sadly.
"Not doing so good, Mana is taking her out shopping to cheer her up."
"I sense tension between you and her." Na u said.
"She is under contract of some sort right?"
"Yes," Atemu nodded.
"A Betrothal Contract. If she were to have an affair, the contract is broken. I know very well not to break it."
"But you know that
you love this girl, don't you?" Na u asked leaving Atemu confused.
"Think about it, my Pharaoh. But not for too long."
Na u left the group with Atemu and the others looking at each other.
After much of Mana's encouragement to get Mikaela to eat, Mikaela ate her breakfast, still crying and in mourning for Cayden. After breakfast, she felt so much better.
"How's our girl?" Atemu asked as he entered the room with a bag of blood. Mikaela walked into her room as Atemu handed Mana the bag.
"She doing a little better, Pharaoh." Mana answered.
Atemu went to Mikaela's room while Mana drank the human blood. Mikaela looked up at Atemu and gave him a small smile.
"May I sit with you?" Atemu asked. Mikaela nodded as Atemu sat down on the bed next to her.
"Atemu?" Mikaela began.
"I don't hate you for what happened to Cayden." Atemu looked at her in surprise.
"You heard everything huh?" Mikaela nodded.
"I don't hate you for holding me back. If you had let me go...I would have probably been taken to my parents' house and married off right away."
Atemu smiled at Mikaela as tears filled up her eyes.
"I called Jase, and he was aware about Cayden's death. They had a funeral for him already, which was yesterday. He's my protector, my best friend, my father figure. For some reason, I felt like he entrusted you to protect me now."
Mikaela looked at Atemu, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Hold me, Atemu. Like you did when we were on the rooftop a week ago without a care in the world."
Atemu held onto Mikaela as she silently wept for Cayden.
After breakfast, Mikaela and Mana decided to go shopping while the others went to the council for their meeting which lasted for the morning.
"Hey Mikaela?"
"Yeah." Mikaela smiled.
"Are you ready?"
"Sure." Mikaela nodded as she grabbed her purse and the girls left their room and walked to the mall which was about two blocks away from the hotel.
"There is nothing in this world more than to go shopping to heal a broken heart."
Mikaela nodded as she looked at Mana.
"Have you been heart broken?"
Mana sighed.
"Yes. I was engaged to my mate, until he was killed."
"By who?"
"Slayers." Mana answered solemnly as Mikaela patted her on the back.
"I'm so sorry." Mana nodded as they arrived at the mall.
"Come on shopping awaits us!" Mikaela giggled a bit as she and Mana walked into the mall. After 2 hours the girls laughed and talked while they walked back to the hotel.
"Mana," Mikaela said as they entered in the room.
"Thanks for cheering me up a bit."
"What are sisters for?" Mana said as she covered her mouth in embarrassment.
"It's fine." Mikaela smiled.
"Oh goody! We are going to have so much fun together! The guys are at the pool right now. Let's get our suits on!"
Mikaela shook her head and giggled. She grabbed her swimsuit and walked into the bathroom.
Atemu, Odion, Marik, and Seto relaxed at the pool causing some girls to swoon over them.
"This is the life." Seto smirked as Atemu shook his head.
"Hey cutie!" A girl walked over to him as he glance at her.
"Can I get your number?" Atemu sighed as some more girls came over and asked for his number, or even a kiss from him.
"Here comes Mana and Mikaela." Marik said as Atemu looked at Mikaela wearing a purple bikini with turquoise polka dots that suited her beautifully. In her hands were brown cargo pants and a purple tank top.
"Sorry girls." He said as the girls walked off in frustration and walked up to Nolyan and Mana. The girls past buy them, calling Mikaela a tramp as she glared.
"Don't listen to them." Atemu said as he hugged her.
"You look very cheerful today."
"Thanks to Mana." Mikaela smiled as Atemu looked at Mana over her shoulder.
"Thank you." He mouthed the words as Mana nodded her head and went to join Marik while Atemu and Mikaela found a nice private tent that was reserved for them only. Closing the curtains, Atemu and Mikaela were alone and in private.
"I'm very happy that you are feeling a lot better."
"Not alot." Mikaela said as Atemu nodded in understanding.
"It will take time for me to heal." Mikaela said as Atemu watched her while they ordered their drinks.
"Shopping helped me in many ways, helping me heal just a little bit, but not that much." Atemu listened as she laid down on the couch while Atemu held her head for awhile.
"There is another dinner with the council tonight, you don't have to go."
"I want to." Mikaela said
"they are going to suck blood from the humans, you may not want to watch this one. Mikaela felt a little uneasy.
"I'll get some food from a restaurant in the hotel."
Atemu nodded while stroking her head softly as the waitress came in with two water bottles, a coke, and a Bloody Mary.
"A little early for drinking?" Mikaela asked as Atemu chuckled.
"Nope." Mikaela chuckled as well while relaxing by the tent pool.
Mikaela thought about her brother and what has happened to her for the past few months. She sighed as she thought about making the most of the trip while she looked at Atemu who is looking down at her and smiled. When some music came on, Mana opened the curtains as she blushed.
"Come on Mikaela! Let's dance!"
Mikaela shook her head in embarrassment as Atemu looked at her and gave her a nod as she pouted. Getting up, Mikaela and Mana went to the dance floor. Hearing her favorite song, Mikaela went back to her tent, grabbed her cargo shorts and went back to the dance floor. Remembering the moves, Mikaela smiled at Atemu as her song was playing.
Mr. Worldwide,
Mami no you can't come back,
Mami no you can't come back,
Cause you look so right

As Mikaela began to dance, Atemu smiled at her as Mana cheered for her. "Go Mikaela!"
Now Go... Stop, drop it, pause

Mikaela danced with her whole heart as Atemu, Mana, and everyone else watched her dancing which caught a few guys watching her as Atemu didn't approve it.

Pause
After her performance, everyone cheered for Mikaela as she walked back to Atemu nodded in approval as Mikaela blushed.
"That was amazing!" Mana cried happily as Mikaela walked over down.
"I need to cool off." Mikaela said as she took her her shorts off and walked with Mana and went into the pool. Atemu and the others watched the girls having fun as Seto looks at Atemu with a playful smug.
"Now I know what's going on here."
"What do you mean?" Atemu asked as Odion, Marik and Mahad look at Atemu.
"You have fallen for this human." Atemu blushed.
"No, she's been through a rough time because her brother was murdered, and I'm doing the best I can to comfort her."
"It's more than that," Marik said as he agreed with Seto.
"Since she has been with us for a month, Mikaela love for you becomes stronger with each moment that has passed."
Atemu thought about it but shook his head.
"I can't fall for her... She's just a human and I am..."
"A vampire." Seto whispered as Atemu nodded his head sadly as he watched Mana and Mikaela having fun in the pool.
Feeling a little tired, Mana and Mikaela went to to the bar and got water.
"It's been fun." Mikaela smiled as Mana did the same thing.
"You should have seen the way he looks at you." Mana said as Mikaela shook his head.
"He's such a good friend to me. He comforted me in so many ways, Mana."
"Do you love him?" Mana asked as Mikaela looked at her surprise.
"Do I love him?"
"Well?"
Mana was waiting for the answer as Mikaela thought about the times that she and Atemu had. From meeting for the first time, to saving her life, to many fights, very good talks, and comforting each other through the bad times that had together. Mikaela smiled at those times as Mikaela looked at Mana.
"I do love him, but I don't know if he does love me."
"He will, just give him some time." Mana smiled as Mikaela did the same thing.
"Hey you two, let's go get Mikaela some dinner before we go to our meeting." Mahad said as the girls finished their water and went off with the guys, unknown to both, someone was watching the girls.
"Your fiancé is here."
"Excellent, Kemo." A voice said on the other line.
"Make sure that she comes to me. Don't scare her that easy."
"Yes master. What about her college friends?"
"Leave them, I only want the girl." the voice said.
After getting her dinner, Atemu and the others walked back to the room as Mikaela came out of the room with her casual clothes on.
"Don't leave the room without permission." Atemu said as Mikaela nodded.
"Mahad and Isis will keep watch." Mikaela nodded as she gave Atemu a hug before he, Seto, Ishizu, Marik, Mana, and Odion left the room as Mikaela ate her food while Mahad and Isis stayed in her room. Mikaela packed her clothes as she realized she forgot something.
"My camera! I need to get it."
"Okay, but come straight back." Ishizu said as Mikaela nodded as she left the room.
"Make sure that she gets her camera safe and sound." Isis said to Mahad as he left the room also.
While watching the news, Ishizu saw a vision coming towards her.
She sees Mikaela being walked away by two men, and her last vision was Mikaela jumping off a building.
Gasping, Ishizu called Mahad.
"Mikaela is in danger Mahad." Isis explained.
"Keep an eye out on Mikaela."
"Will do, Isis." Mahad said as he hung up his phone and followed Mikaela secretly. Arriving at the pool, Mikaela grabbed her camera as two men came to her.
"Miss, you need to come with us."
"What?" Mikaela asked in confusion as they grabbed her.
"Please miss, we need you come with us, it's urgent." Mikaela tried to struggle but it was no use as she was forced to comply. Mahad was watching undetected as he called Isis.
"The men in black got her. They are taking her to away from the hotel."
"I will go and get Atemu and the others, follow them and make sure they don't see you. Report back on the whereabouts."
"Yes mam." Mahad nodded as he looked for a taxi and quickly got in.
"Follow that black SUV." Mahad ordered as the driver nodded his head. Isis became furious as she left the hotel room and went to the grand hall.
Sending a text to Atemu, Isis prayed to Ra that he watches out for Mikaela and protects her.
While at the meeting, Atemu looked at his phone. It was a message from Isis as he opened his phone. Atemu became furious as he read Isis's text.
"We need to go and get Mikaela back."
Na u came forward to the group.
"What is happening?"
"Our friend got captured, and we need to bring her back." Atemu explained as Na u nodded his head.
"Very well, but before you go, Atemu, may I?"
Atemu nodded as Na u put his hands on his head as he sensed his soul.
"Something tells me that you are in love with this human."
Atemu wanted to deny it, but in truth, he doesn't have the heart to deny his feelings towards Mikaela as he sighed.
"I do love Mikaela."
"Then go and tell her before its too late." Na u said as Atemu nodded looking at Marik and Odion.
"Me and Odion will stay."
The two nodded in agreement as Atemu and the others meet up with Isis who just got off the phone.
"Mahad got the location of where Mikaela is at. It's at a grand hotel called 'The Oceana View.' It is owned by..."
"Pegasus." Atemu finished.
"Where is Mahad?"
"He there, hiding out by the pool awaiting orders."
"Tell him to remain where he is at and we are on our way."
"Got it." Isis said as she texted Mahad back while Atemu and the others grabbed a black SUV and drove to the Oceana View.
"I'll have Odion and Marik get our things and move us to another location."
Mana said as she texted to the two men.
Arriving at a dressing room, Mikaela looked around as some maids came into the room with a beautiful black and crème colored strapless dress, low heeled shoes, and some jewelry as they gave her a makeover. Her old clothes were thrown away outside of the hotel room as they did Mikaela's make over after the makeover is complete, Mikaela followed Kemo as he escorted her to another room where a man was waiting for her right by the balcony.
"Ahh, my little soon to be bride!" a man said as he left the balcony and greeted Mikaela as she made a gagging sound.
"Whatever. Why are you here, and why did you kidnap me? I could have reported you to the police very easily."
Pegasus smirked as Mikaela glared at him.
"All I ever wanted was to meet my little bride before our wedding, when I saw you with some college friends, I knew that I wanted to see you and I came to Las Vegas at a perfect time. So let's get to know each other."
Mikaela sighed in frustration as she sat down on the couch as Pegasus did the same thing while the maid provided them some water. Mikaela hopes that Atemu would hear her thoughts as she hoped and pray that he would come to her rescue.
