Atem smiled and handed Rei to her. "Here. Look at our son Britt." he said smiling. Adam sat down in the living room along with Bakura.
Britt carefully took him and held Rei as she was still in awe. It astonished her that this was hers and Atems son. "Our son." She said as she let it process with her. the new prince of the land. She thought with a feeling of being happy. Mal left the room as Shinqu peaked in and was astonished but then she left the room. "well that will be something that may shock people when you all return." She said to Nana,Adam and Bakura. "I'm sure uncle will be excited though." She said to Nana who was happy for her sister.
Adam and Bakura nodded. Atem sat down "hey You think we should keep this away from the public for now?" he asked. Adam looked up at Bakura who was looking out the window. "Dad?" Adam asked. Bakura looked at him. "oh sorry just thinking about the undertaker and his role, I have to escort the dead now and then. It is stressful, sorry that I left you." Adam smiled "it's alright dad." he said.
"yeah, I think we should. People may get the wrong idea since we have not been married for more than two days maybe three." She said to him knowing that it would look odd for a sudden child but she knew they would eventually have to announce it. Nana looked out thinking about the girl with the dark amulet. She still got a bad vibe when she thought about it that girl looked like Britt. Her amulet looked like Britts. Her dress though was black and so was her amulet. So maybe she's apart of the evil we have to face She thought as she was getting into deep thought about it.
Atem smiled and yawned lightly. "Who was that person that took the men down?" he asked. Bakura shivered thinking back on it. "she had a dark presence. I don't know who it was, but they were powerful."
"I don't know. She looked exactly like me but her eyes were blue and not,the same blue as what my eyes turn when Anai takes over." She told him. Dastan sighed "don't you Britt? She used to be like one of your best friends eleven years ago when you were 7. Her name is Bre." He said and Britt went quiet as that name was familiar to her.
Atem looked out the window. "if she is someone we might have to fight in the future, then the dark sides will infect those closest to us. that won't be good." Adam nodded. "so it should be simple. we make sure not to kill." he said.
Britt reached held Rei as she was thinking "her amulet was dark as shadows. I think that means I may have to fight her." She said but she hoped she was wrong. Flashbacks of her and Bre switching places pretending to be the other came back to her. She couldn't understand it but she felt that Bre was closer then they may thought. Rei started to cry a little from starting to be hungry luckily Britt kept calm since she had helped raise her sister. "Hey Das." She said and before she said anything else he went out to get something. Her aunt walked in offering her a bottle for Rei. Britt took it smiling "thanks aunt Diana." She said as she put it to Rei's mouth. Rei started to drink from it being content.
Atem smiled watching his son drink. "I don't want him caught up in this...I fear he will be harmed." he said softly. Adam smirked. "He won't be in any danger. I'll keep watch over him when you have some kingly duties to attend to and Britt is stronger then she looks remember?" he said. Atem smiled. "thanks."
Britt could understand since she wanted Rei to be safe too. She was trying to figure out how they would get back with their son and keep him hidden from the people. It was a lot but she didn't know when they would be returning. When Rei stopped Britt placed the bottle on the table by her. Rei opened his eyes for the first time and looked around the room.
Atem smiled softly as Adam and Bakura left the room. Bakura still looked like he had been up several days and he did not want to frighten the baby. "hmm people will talk if they see her carrying him. on the way back once we get to the city I should hold him while we ride so they would think I have a new son and know I have repented." he said. Adam nodded.
Britt got up once she felt better and more able to move. She looked at their son seeing he was falling asleep. She sighed a little "well we have work ahead of us." She said knowing a baby was not something simple to take care of but she also noticed Rei seemed to be a very good baby and not as fussy as when she had helped her mother with Nana. Mal was looking through things when she came upon a sheet of paper looking like it may be part of some prophecy or maybe just a letter. She read it and was worried about it seeing as it more looked like a prophecy. She kept it hidden for now not wanting to worry anyone. Bre was lingering around the house just waiting for when Britt would walk out or even Nana walk out.
Bakura saw the girl from before and he grumbled. "Stay here Adam." he walked outside to the girl. "why are you hanging around?" he asked her.
Atem looked at his son and smiled. "And here I thought babies were trouble. he is nice." he said smiling. "But we do have a lot of work to do."
Adam saw Mal hide something and he tapped her shoulder. "what you got there?" he asked.
Mallory jumped as she looked back at Adam"nothing." She lied to him as she didn't want to ruin the happy feeling with the new arrival.
Britt nodded "some are and some are not. " she said as Rei made a cute baby yawn.
Atem stifled his snicker as he saw Rei yawn. "he's cute." he said looking at him. Adam saw she was lieing. "I won't tell. just tell me what it is."
"yew, he is." She agreed with Atem. Mal sighed as she showed him the paper. A paper that talked about a child of light whose parents had to fight an evil. But the second half was missing.
Bre didn't really seem evil right now. "I need to speak with Britt." She said in a casual voice. he whispered. Bakura tilted his head. "weren't you just now looking all evil and stuff?" he asked.
"I can control it. It does not control me." Bre said as she pointed to her dark amulet that had an eerie glow.
Bakura nodded. "well she just gave birth so you will have to wait a while but I will let her know and she might let you in." He walked in and whispered that Bre wanted to talk to her in her ear. Adam nodded looking at it. "that don't look good." he said.
"the second half is missing and Britt just had a child. So I'm thinking,the child of light is her son." She said to Mal. Britt heard what Bakura whispered and then noticed that she could feel it. She sighed as she watched the sleeping Rei. All she wanted was to end this fight and figure out,why Bre was with the evil side.
Adam nodded. "that could be right. but lets see if we can find the second half and clear it up more." he said taking the first half. Atem looked outside at the girl. "she is not looking evil no more." He said. "she must be able to control her powers." he said. Bakura nodded and went back outside waiting for Britt.
Britt handed Rei to Atem "I'll be quick. She wants to talk but I have my doubts." She told him as she left the room and walked out. "about time. Ten years is way too long." Bre said to Britt who didn't say anything. "what? Got the life you want so have nothing to say?" Bre asked. "what life? I deal with my own problems." Britt said to her. "yeah, you're married and have a son. I saw you when you first came in. you forgot about me. You promised to return in less than ten years." She said to Britt angry at her. "I couldn't. I never was home after my mother died. I'm sorry Bre." She said to her but saw the evil taking control by her anger. Britt didn't call Anai's power like she probably should as a sword appeared in Bre's hand. "i found that part here in this house. Maybe the other part is out where we do our work." Mal suggested
Bakura stood by her just in case anything happened. Atem took Rei and held him as he slept then looked out at Britt and Bre to make sure she is safe. Adam stood in the door way just in case he had to jump in and fight.
Britt ran toward the Nile as it was not that far away and Bre followed behind her. She got in the Nile as Anai took over which was what she needed after everything. The fight was now away from the house,and Britt took on her friend. But Bre wanted the others to see so she kicked Britt to where,she slid back toward her cousins house. Panting a little Britt was lacking,the energy to really finish the fight but she kept on. Nana ran out and lended a hand to her sister but when Bre realized she was really outnumbered she left quick.
Bakura Jumped in Bre's way holding a scythe grinning evilly. "why you running away. Are you scared?" he asked making he voice sound demonic. Adam appeared behind her holding a sword. "yes, realize picking on a weak woman and then being outnumbered and you'll run? so shameful." he said. Atem stayed inside seeing Bakura and Adam had it.
"no, I was going to get my allies to get rid of the six of you." Bre said to them. Britt walked inside her cousins house laying down on the couch as she felt sleepy. Nana heard her say six instead of five and was confused. "there is only five of us." She thought to herself.
Bakura knew what she meant and he Put his scythe by her face. "You touch the child and I will make you wish you never lived!" he said. "oh wait you already tried to kill Britt. I guess it's justified if I kill you!" he said knicking her neck a little. Adam glared at her his sword at the ready.
She used her dark power to knock them away " I'll be back and with backup." She said to them as she ran off quick. A guy with dark power like her,had been watching them to see if Bre would belong with his group or not. He smirked at the good guys seeing that they would really kill Bre if she gave the chance. Once Bre was near the group that was against the chosen five she walked normal. Nana smiled but feared the worst as she came across the prophecy that Mal had found. "this is not good." She said reading it.
Adam sat up after getting knocked back and grumbled. "great we got 5 guys coming after us hoping to kill us." He said as he stood up. Bakura nodded using his scythe to pull him up. "lets head back to the palace soon." he said. Atem saw her power and grimaced, "she is strong." he said softly. "this won't be easy."
Britt was asleep for the rest of the day and half of the next day. She needed it after going into battle too soon. Nana was trying to figure out where the second half was. Bre was with her group and she was with the leader. Her anger towards Britt was what fueled her power. When Britt awoke from her sleep she yawned and sat up feeling strong. Nana kept looking to find it but it took looking through her cousins work area where she seemed to find the second half. Rushing back to the house she ran in but forgot that Atem and Britt were not supposed to know about the prophecy. "Hey I found the second half of that prophecy!" She said running in.
Atem looked at her. "what prophecy? I thought we knew of the prophecy for us." he said. Adam flinched hearing Nana then hit himself in the head. Bakura sighed as he looked out the window again.
Britt was also listening to this and Nana froze "uh,yeah. This is just something else." She said knowing right now she didn't know much until she put the two parts together.
Atem nodded. "alright." he closed his eyes trying to sense the evil presence from earlier. "Their gone, including Bre. but they won't be for long." he said. Bakura nodded. "we need to leave soon." he said.
"it's not safe for Rei on this side. We should probably leave as soon as we can." Britt said since she really didn't want to fight Bre right now. Nans grabbed the other piece and looked over,it with Adam but out of sight of Britt and Atem.
Atem nodded. "I'll get the horses ready." he said. Bakura went outside to help as Atem handed Rei back to Britt. Adam looked at the prophecy but scratched his head. "I can't understand it."
Britt nodded as she held Rei and looked over at Adam "What is it?" She asked him figuring maybe she could help out. Her aunt walked over to her and put a cloak around her that was hand made "wha?" She said as she looked up at her aunt who smiled. "You'll need it eventually. All that attention will eventually start when you finally choose to reveal about your son. If you hold him on the way back this will shield him from people's eyes." She told her and Britt smiled as her aunt was looking out for her.
Adam shook his head and hid the paper. "nothing Britt." he said as he watched Britt's aunt.
Britt was curious but let it go since they were going to be leaving. Bre was watching from a distance and she could see Atem was getting the horses ready. Britt walked out not very long after and since she could hide Rei with the cloak her aunt had made she had it hiding Rei with people near them.
Atem brought a horse over to Britt and helped her and Rei up. Atem hopped up behind her. Bakura grabbed the white horse and slowly led it to the entrance. Adam looked at the prophecy then at Nana. "can you explain it?" he asked.
Nana shook her head no "we'll have to examine it more at home." She told Adam. Britt made sure Rei would not fall from her arms when she got on the horse. The ride was still a little long when they got back. Bre was watching and she wasn't happy that Britt was leaving so she ran off.
Atem yawned lightly. "well lets hope we get back soon." he said. Adam hopped on his house and Bakura mounted one as well and rode toward where he knew the palace was as well.
Britt relaxed as they headed back knowing the way was long. Nana was with them and she knew this was going to be a long,trip but that her dad would be happy to see them. She could see Atem seemed a little tired. Watching while they were heading back she knew too well what was going on. It was like the next day when they returned. Entering into the village that they all knew so well it made her happy to be home. Little did they know that Bre had been following them the whole way back.
Atem smiled and waved at the crowd as they greeted him. He smiled and shook his head. "Ah my people are always grateful." he aid softly. Bakura slapped him in the back of the head. "only because you are a fair ruler." He said. "so where is the princess? did she go back to Syria?" he asked. Adam shook his head. "No I did not see her leave yet, but she has been distraught." several guards rushed forward when Atem approached. "your highness the body has disappeared!" Atem silenced them. "yes I know. Bakura is back though. see?" he pointed to him. the guards bowed and excused themselves. Adam was about to laugh till he sensed a prickling on his neck. he knew this feeling of danger nearby. he jumped off his horse and turned around casually as to not alarm anybody but kept his hand on the hilt of his knife.
Britt carefully got down from Atem's horse as she moved the cloak to reveal Rei. They were in the palace area so he didn't need to be hidden from eyes. She could feel the evil near by so she walked inside to keep Rei safe. Nana got down and followed behind Britt even though she knew that Britt was the Queen and capable of defending herself but not with Rei.
Adam kept watch as Atem and Bakura walked into the palace. Adam still had that feeling and he couldn't shake it. he ran up to Britt. "stay near Rei." he said.
Britt nodded to Adam as she knew too well Rei couldn't defend himself. Bre watched as she saw that Britt was where hardly anyone could attack her. Zoey welcomed the five of them back and smiled at Britt as she saw Rei. Britts friends welcomed her back and were happy that she was safe.
Atem went into the library as did Bakura. Bakura looked around. "where is Layla? isn't she supposed to be here?" he asked. Atem shrugged. "she normally stayed by your side while you slept." he said.
Layla was asleep and wasn't really sure on what to do right now. Britt answered her friends questions as best as she could. They were mostly about Rei but she didn't mind answering that yes, Rei was hers and Atems. Zoey heard her and figured there must of been extra help. Bre was just waiting but she knew she looked like Britt. Secretly she was keeping watch on the five but mostly Britt and Rei. Nana sat down looking over the prophecy again child of light with parents that fight. Yeah that'd be about Rei and his parents. She,thought as she skimmed it and found a part that peaked her interest the mother will fight her friend to restore light to thy friend. The friend shall hide and wait for an opening though she shall not find a time for the mother to have a weak point for attack. Must be talking about Britt and Bre. She thought
Adam read the prophecy with her and sat down and played his flute. Bakura walked into his room to find Layla on his bed. He smiled and kneeled down next to her. "I missed her." he said. Atem nodded and went to the roof to clear his head.
Britt was relaxing with Rei as she tried to keep calm
Layla adjusted on her sleep and Zoey led Britt upstairs. she knew Britt,didn't dress proper for being a queen so she had an adjustment added to the outfit she,normally wore. When Britt saw it she just looked at it then at her friend. "you are the Pharaohs wife. It's only fair you dress properly." Zoey told her
Bakura sat down in a chair close to the bed and closed hie eyes finally resting. Atem laid down and looked up at the sky deep in thought thinking. Adam scratched his head thinking about the prophecy.
Zoey gently held Rei as she let Britt go switch outfits. She wasn't fully sure but when She saw how Britt looked after switching she thought it was very proper for someone who was the Pharaohs wife Layla woke up not long after and noticed that Bakura was there. It made her happy to know he was back. Handing Rei back to Britt Zoey smiled "well I think it looks proper for you." She said and Britt took Rei while thinking. "yeah well you had the right thought. The other way really looked like a servant still." She told Zoey
Atem sat up sensing the same evil sensations. "Where?" Bakura opened his eyes and rubbed them. "man I have been asleep long enough." he said as he stretched. Adam stood up and walked to the library and started rifling through the books for any help.
Bre had used her amulet to sneak in the palace and she followed Britt. Seeing her with Zoey like they were best friends spiked her anger causing,her power to increase a little. Britt could feel it and she could tell it was too strong and too,close to be safe. Zoey felt that evil was near but she thought it was outside. "you're back." Layla said finally speaking to him. Nana was about,to leave but then she turned around feeling the evil. Britt she thought knowing it had to be Bre that the evil was coming from.
Atem turned around sensing the evil and dropped to the window where Britt and Zoey was. He drew his sword and looked around. His eyes transformed for a moment and he saw Bre. He grabbed her by the throat growling lightly. Bakura nodded. "yes, After a long battle I am back." he said then sensed the evil. he turned lightly and saw Atem had it.
Bre hadn't expected to be caught but her amulet started to glow it's eerie glow when she was in danger. Britt turned around and at first she wasn't sure what was going on. Anai helped Britt see through Bre's evil.
"take away her amulet and she loses her evil powers." Anai told Britt. With hearing this Britt handed Rei to Zoey and went over to Atem. She knew he had a good hold of Bre so she didn't have to worry much. She reached up to take Bre's amulet but the evil was trying to fight her. She pushed her hand past the evil and grabbed the amulet. As the evil was trying to take over her now, her own amulet counteracted it. Ripping the amulet from Bre's neck. Bre closed her eyes and the evil left. When she opened her eyes she was confused on what happened. Her eyes landed on Britt "B-Britt?" She said and Britt knew she was back to normal. "Atem, you can let her go." Britt told him
He dropped her and held his hand and fell back against the wall. "damn, that hurt. The darkness almost broke my hand." He said. Adam had walked in and saw the darkness around Atem's hand. he played his flute and purified his hand. Adam saw the girl and backed up lightly.
"Adam, she's fine. I have her amulet." She said but the darkness knocked her backwards and fought with her own amulet to have control. She threw it on the floor and stayed where she is and looked at,the dark amulet. Nana put a jar over it to keep it from attacking. "uh how did I get here? Why are you dressed like that Britt?" Bre asked. Britt looked at her and smiled "I'm the pharaohs wife. You must of followed us here when we came back." She told Bre.
Adam kneeled down and looked at the amulet. He grabbed a lid and quickly covered the jar taking it to the library. Atem sat down moving his wrist making sure it worked. "thanks Adam." he said waving at him. he bowed to Bre. "greetings." Bakura was talking to Layla when Adam entered with the jar. "another thing for you to work on dad." Bakura nodded and looked at it. "looks like Britt's but coated in darkness." he said thinking.
Bre felt ashamed and was respectful "I'm sorry for any trouble I may have caused Pharaoh." She said in an apologetic way. Britt walked over to Bre and lightly patted her,friends back "welcome back old friend. I'm glad I could help you." She said but she felt weak from the darkness power earlier. Layla looked at it "that doesn't look good." Layla said
Atem nodded. "It's alright. It is refreshing to get a little exercise now and then." He said jokingly. Bakura nodded and looked at it. "Layla stay back. I don't want you to get hurt. I can touch it cause I have a demon's power." he said as he lifted the lid lightly and slid his hand in. he touched to to see the last person who was influenced by it's powers memories of how she got it.
the memories of how Bre acquired the amulet showed her with a boy. He was already influenced by evil and she was walking with him to a cave where he slipped the amulet around her neck. Once she had the amulet it made her anger towards Britt grow and she became apart of his group. Then the others in his group showed up around them welcoming her to the group.
Bakura jumped back recognizing the man. "The Adviser!" he said holding his head. "no...he was supposed to die!?" he said. Adam listened confused.
Bre felt better then watched as Zoey handed Britt Rei. "who's this?" Bre asked as she noticed he favored between Atem and Britt but mostly Atem. "you don't remember?" Britt asked and Bre shook her head no.
Atem smiled looking at Rei. "this is our son Bre." he said.
Bre smiled "oh well he's very cute." She said as she looked at Rei. Layla was confused as she didn't know what was going on. "the adviser?" She asked. Britt relaxed with a smile but then she saw her group of friends come by and Miranda cover her eyes. "Britt we have something to show you. But you have to trust us to lead you there." She said and Britt had an idea on what was going on. "Ok Miranda. I trust you." She said to her friend. Miranda led her away from the group. Heather and Olivia told Bre, Atem and Zoey that they should follow to as Miranda led Britt to a room.
Atem fallowed confused on what would happen. Bakura was frantic. "this can't be! he! him! of all people!?" he said as he sat down. "the adviser was once Atem's but I made a deal with him long ago looks like he got hold of an amulet but he ain't the ring leader, some kid is. but who was the boy handing Bre that amulet?" he asked thinking.
Zoey and Bre looked at each other wondering what was going on. It only took them a few minutes to realize what the day was. Bre followed too and Miranda removed her hand from Britt's eyes. Seeing a few of her friends in the room she figured out what was going on. "I can tell you guys not to do this but you'll always do this." She said. Miranda laughed "oh come on it's a once a year thing. Besides you're eighteen now." She said to Britt and Bre ran up to Britt "that's right. today's your birthday." Bre said and Britt shrugged "yeah but really it's mostly like all days. Just another year older." She told Bre but she was happy with how her life was.
Steve was with his group of people who were on the evil side. He could feel the disconnection of Bre's amulet and knew that someone had took it from her. He had once been apart of the bandits with Bakura's group until he left to go on this side of Egypt where her cousins lived.
Steve was making a plan but he had an idea on adding another person to his group if he could get near Mal.
"hmm this could be dangerous if I try again. Adam be on stand by in case it does anything to me alright?" Bakura asked. Adam nodded and readied his flute. "Layla no matter what I didn't get to say it before but I care about you a lot, I don't want you in here when I touch it again and I don't want you hurt. can you wait outside?" he asked.
Layla nodded and left the room so she would be safe.
Bakura touched the amulet again going into it and heading towards the other members of the group in spirit form. "so your the assess that want to kill us?" he asked when he found them.
Steve looked at him "what are you doing here?" Steve demanded as his anger flared seeing Bakura.
"Oh just tracking who ever tried to kill us Steven. so your the ring leader. can't say I'm surprised you always wanted to run the bandits yourself instead of relying on my ways." Bakura said. He folded his arms. "I wish I could kill you now but your too far away. make no mistake we are ready and we will fight." he twitched lightly. "your lucky I must leave punk."
Steve smirked evilly "well we'll be coming. Tell Bre we're coming for her and we'll have an extra with us." He said knowing he had his sights on Mallory.
Bakura laughed. "she has no clue who you are. she is back to being Britt's friend. and I hope we fight so I can kick your ass." he said before disappearing.
Atem slapped his forehead for forgetting. "with all the excitement going on I can't believe I forgot about this. I'm an idiot of a pharaoh, I'll be right back I completely forgot something downstairs." he said running downstairs to the treasury. he found a small bracelet with an eye token on the end like the millennium bracelet. "ah here it is. luckily it's only a copy and not the real powers." he said. "otherwise it could overpower her." he said as he put it int his pocket but an image flashed in his mind and he held his head. He sat down as it flashed again. he saw the adviser snickering as he held the same kind of sword Atem had but darker. he gasped but didn't move.
Britt held Rei who was asleep in her arms. She had the M. Bracelet with her from where Adam had got it so if she,was ever in danger then Atem would know but the other powers of it she had not got into because she didn't ever think about it much. Bre and Zoey stayed near Britt and knew she had to keep Rei safe.
Atem ran back upstairs and hid his fear. he went over to Zoey and whispered what he seen to her. "don't let Britt know yet. let her enjoy this day." he said as he sat down glaring out the window.
Zoey nodded to Atem and she kept watch on the surroundings. Britt sat down since there wasn't much she could do while holding Rei. Miranda knew Britt had to deal with a lot now but she knew she had to figure out something. Nina was there and took Britt over to the gifts showing her one was a crib for Rei. Britt sighed with relief that they wouldn't have to worry about one. She noticed it was already ready for Rei so she carefully placed him in it so he could sleep during the party and she could still keep watch on him. Bre knew today was a day for relaxing until the big fight.
Atem smiled seeing the gifts and he watched Britt enjoy herself. he smiled watching as he looked out the window at the noon sun.
Britt was having fun but she knew there was danger ahead of them. Zoey kept watch on her and let her enjoy it.
Atem sensed Bakura's return and stood up. "I'm going to the library for a moment." he said.
Britt nodded "ok." She said to him not,having a problem with it. Steven glad to know the name of the Queen. He got his group together and was leading them off to fight. Bre was happy to be around her friend for her birthday.
Atem walked up to Layla and bowed before heading into the library. Bakura was sitting in a chair as Atem entered he nodded. Adam looked at them both and sighed. "we'll leave Britt and Nana inside. do not tell them." Bakura said. Atem walked back upstairs and told the guards to be on the lookout for shady characters. the guards nodded and readied themselves. Atem went back into the room and sat down.
Britt could feel something coming but she didn't give it a lot of thought. She put the necklace on that Nana had bought. Nana had gone to her dads to let him know she was back. She also told him about Britt's son. Aiden was shocked to hear this and he smiled "oh wow." He said. Her father was happy to hear about his daughters son and understood about not telling anyone else. Being there she could feel like something may come. She knew there were more people there and to see her grandparents made her smile. "oh I should tell Britt." Nana said and Aiden agreed with her. "yeah Nana, go tell her. After all she probably would be glad to see our grandparents if she has the time with today being her birthday." He said to Nana who looked shock. "well yeah, I forgot today was that." She said to her brother. Steve was leading them but they stopped and grabbed Mal. They wanted her apart of the group
Atem sat there deep in thought and almost nodded off to sleep but he shook his head waking himself. "ugh the trip was too long." he said softly. Bakura sat down outside the library door next to Layla rubbing his head. Adam stayed inside watching the amulet.
"This fight is dangerous. Do you really have to be apart of it?" She asked him. Britt was relaxed around her friends and really she couldn't help but look outside wondering what would happen next. Nana made her way out and headed back to the palace to see her sister. She noticed that the security was increased since when she left but that the guards had let her through. Walking inside she followed the way to where she could sense Britt's amulet and smiled as the party seemed to be ending. Walking in she whispered to Britt about their elderly grandparents being in town at their dads. Looking at Nana she contemplated on what to do. She knew she could make her own decisions but still sometimes she felt she still needed permission for somethings.
Steve knew that the trip would take more than a day so he didn't rush to get to where they were heading.
Atem heard something about grandparents. "Might as well go. it may be interesting." he said smirking. "who knows they may get to meet the pharaoh." he said jokingly.. Bakura leaned back looking up then looked at Layla and thought I must protect her. he thought. Adam dropped as a shadowy arm came out and tried to swipe him. he smirked and played the flute harming the shadow.
Britt knew what he meant "ok, sounds good." She said but she thought for a second as she looked at the extras that Zoey had added to her outfit. Thinking quickly she went and got the cloak her aunt had made since she really didn't want to draw attention to herself. Walking back in she had it in her hand for when they would go out. Nana knew it would be good and she kinda laughed a little "well dad may of said something or Aiden. But they don't really know." Layla was wondering how safe Bakura would be.
He nodded. Bakura stood up. "is there anything you want to do Layla?" he asked. Atem stood up and stretched. "you got a lot of presents Britt." he said. "makes me can't wait for my birthday." he said laughing. he reached in his pocket and took out the necklace. "here you go. took me a while to find it cause of the idiot palace treasurers, they mix everything up." he said jokingly.
Britt nodded "yeah, I noticed. They do this like every year even though I tell them not to. But friends are friends." She said and was surprised to see the necklace in his hand. "oh wow. " She said knowing it was something from the treasure that was his. Layla stood up "I don't really know. I was thinking of going out for a little to get some fresh air. Would you join me?" She asked
Atem smiled. "thought you would like it. it was my mothers but she passed it on to me. she said save it for a special occasion. I say this is special enough." he said smiling. Bakura nodded and stood up. "yeah." he looked around at the increased security. "Atem took it too seriously but what can you expect." he said sighing. "sorry just in case anyone is meaning to do harm."
Britt smiled and she took the one she had that Nana had got putting it in her pocket so she didn't lose it. Then she moved her hair so he could put it around her neck so she didn't ruin it. Nana smiled knowing today was going good and she knew that Britt being happy was great. Looking over at Rei she wondered "what about Rei? Are you going to bring him along or have someone watch him?" She asked knowing that was something important to ask. Zoey was watching Rei sleep and was willing to watch him if needed. Layla noticed it too and agreed with Bakura.
Atem had gone outside to make sure the horses were ready. Adam had gone with cause he was tired of looking at the amulet encased in evil. He petted the black horse and smiled. Bakura walked to the roof looking up at the sky. "I never noticed but I found out why evil exists."
Britt looked at Nana smiling at her knowing that this was good. Nana was happy and she knew there was a lot. Zoey was relaxing as she watched Rei. Britt's horse was laying down resting. Layla heard him "why is that?" She asked
Adam had leaned onto his horse resting as he looked out at the sky smiling. "well a fights coming. you think we can handle it?" he asked. Atem nodded hearing him. "of course. we are Egypts finest. we can handle anything." he said. Bakura looked up. "good and evil can change in an instant, one is like the light, it can go dark, while the dark can be enlightened, they are two sides of the same coin. one cannot exist without the other. it's the balance." he said.
Britt walked over to Rei seeing him sleep made her smile. Touching her amulet she knew they had to protect him and the people. Bre watched Britt knowing she knew what evil felt like while Britt was on the good side and in love. Debating on it Britt wasn't sure if she,should bring Rei along with them to see her grandparents. Layla listened to Bakura and knew he was right.
Atem sat down looking at his sword no longer dark but now shone with light, Adam saw this and smiled. "obelisk is now a god, no longer a demon." Atem nodded and smiled. Bakura looked down. "this is why the universe is so complete and balanced."
Nana stretched "man this is a great day. But we know what's ahead." She said and Britt agreed with her. Looking back at Nana "we'll need to be prepared. So I say when we have free time we should practice. Either the two of us or all five. So we're prepared." She told Nana. Nana agreed with her and knew this was great. Britt decided to bring Rei only because he was her grandparents great grandchild. She put the cloak around her to hide him and then walked out to the horses with Nana.
Atem stood up seeing Britt and Adam kicked himself up and staggered lightly. "hey. we leaving now?" Adam asked.
Britt and Nana nodded with a smile and Britt kept a good hold on Rei. He was the only reason she was wearing the cloak. Nana got on her horse and knew this was a great day even for Britt's birthday. When they left Britt went with Atem since she didn't think she could carry Rei and hold a horses reins at the same time. Nana watched as they headed out of the area. When they got there she got off and offered to help Britt down but Britt told her sister no and carefully got down with Rei. Nana went and let them in as she walked in first. Britt removed the cloak once inside which awoke Rei from his sleep.
Atem stayed in the back feeling slightly uncomfortable since he sensed the evil drawing closer. he kept an eye and Britt and Rei to make sure they weren't in any danger then he went outside to see if he can spot the evil. Bakura had went back down to the library and sat on his bed staring at the ceiling.
