Alright YamiBakura Kia. You win. Which pairing do you want? No Seto ones
though. I have a good reason why.
I am working on two stories at the moment, as well as two jobs and school, so you need to be patient with me.
***********
Amalthia sighed as she walked down the grand staircase. She had been awake for three days, but she hadn't the heart to leave. Somehow Mokuba had become close to her, and she dare not leave without a reason.
No one knew of her past. They only knew her name. But the entire house was on the alert for a runaway. Mr. Kaiba couldn't find the description, so it was the only thing saving her.
Mrs. Willingsworth had insisted on getting her some different clothes. She was currently wearing a velvet midnight blue dress. It was simply, which made her less uncomfortable. Black flats were the only things on her feet.
She froze when she saw Ms. Gem standing beside Mr. Kaiba. She instantly started fiddling with a loose strand of her long black hair. She had braided a few strands, but the rest was loose. Her silver hair was more the obvious. She also noted that her crescent moon mark showed clearly.
"Ms. Gem, I'd like you to meet-" Kaiba started before she cut him off.
"Amy, darling! There you are! You've had us all so worried!" Ms. Gem exclaimed as she hugged Amalthia.
Amalthia let out a small scream in pain. It was so strong she was blinded. Then she felt the feeling of pressure on her shoulder. Opening her eyes, she saw it was Mokuba. His eyes stated his worry clearly.
"Mokuba." she managed to whisper out. "Do you remember the day. you asked me how I got all those bruises and cuts?" His nodded forced her to continue.
"I got them at. an Orphanage nearby. I lived there. for nine years. They gave me little food. made me work like a slave. beat me. and gave me nothing more then a mat to sleep on. I ran away. a few days ago. The woman in front of you. was the one that hurt me." she managed to get out as the pain faded slowly. The embrace of the woman had hurt a long cut on her back from being thrown against the stairs.
Mokuba gapped at her for a moment before looking at Ms. Gem closely. She appeared normal. But had she done all those horrible things?
Amalthia saw the disbelief flash across his face. She placed her hand over his and concentrated on the memory of the day before she left. Then she sent it to Mokuba.
Mokuba almost fell over as a memory that wasn't his own flashed before his eyes.
# Flashback #
Amalthia hummed as she dusted the china cabinet. Her long braid fell down to her knees, it being the only thing she was proud of. The bluish tint was growing more obvious every day. As she turned she felt her braid fly up and hit something. The sound of breaking china told her exactly what it was.
"Amy what was-" Ms. Gem started s she entered the room. The sight of Amalthia picking up broken china pieces cut her off.
"You idiot! You and that stupid hair of yours broke all of my beautiful china! I'll fix this!" she screeched as she dragged Amalthia into the kitchen.
Grabbing a hold of her braid in one hand and a knife in another Ms. Gem quickly cut it in two. Amalthia fell down, close to crying over the loss. Her hair barely reached her waist and it was cut jaggedly. The other half felt and looked dull and lifeless instead of silky soft and healthy.
Ms. Gem grabbed the girl's arm and threw her among the broken china. It didn't cut her face, only her arms and legs. Luckily, none of the pieces entered the cuts. Amalthia was hit across the face several times before being thrown into the closet she lived in. There, she used a first aid kit to bandage her arms and legs before rebrushing and braiding her hair. There was nothing she could do to fix the jagged ends. The next day, she stayed in the closet as punishment before running away that night.

Mokuba looked in horror at Amalthia before looking at her hair. He just now noticed how the ends were all uneven. He had already noticed the healing bruises on her face. She was telling the truth.
He cried out to his brother, "Seto keep her away! She was the one that hurt Amalthia!" Mentally, he wondered, 'How did I see her memory?'
'I have powers, Mokuba. I can make people see things through my point of view, I can move things with my mind and heal incredibly fast, I can see what will happen, and can communicate with people and animals through their minds.' Amalthia's voice echoed through his head.
'Like now?' he asked again, mentally.
'Like now. But you mustn't tell anyone. It will be our secret, okay?" she stated clearly.
"Mokuba, how do you know Julia hurt her?" Mr. Kaiba asked disbelievingly.
"Ask Ms. Gem. Tell them, miss. Tell them how often things have moved on their own. Tell them how often I have spoken without moving my lips. Or how I seemed to know when things were going to happen. How I seemed to heal almost as soon as you hurt me." Amalthia declared strongly, for once not being so meek. Standing, she contained the wince of pain.
"Or are you afraid? Afraid of letting go of me, all because as long as I'm in your care, you get the money I inherited from my mother? Afraid of letting me go because I might show others what you have done and have been doing for years? You are afraid because you know I speak the truth. It is all in your mind, and your mind has always been an open book to me. I see the front and the darkest corners. The corners you have hidden from everyone." She walked down the steps as she spoke, growing more and more confident.
'Such as what? She knows nothing!' Gem declared mentally, forgetting what had been previously said.
"Such as what? I know nothing? Far from it!" Amalthia said, ice blue eyes blazing with an inner fire. *
"You claim your former husband died of an heart attack. But that didn't happen, did it? You found he was cheating on you, not that I blame him. So you took matters into your own hands. On the day of his 'heart attack' you shot your own spouse with an old gun he never used. He did from loss of blood one hour later. You watched him die, not caring."
Gem gasped, "How did you know what I was think and what happened to my husband? That happened before you were born."
Mr. Kaiba gave her a cold glare, "Murder in cold blood isn't going to happen here." He made a gesture with his hand and several men grabbed Gem's arms and led her out the front gates.
He then turned to Amalthia, who felt her moments of bravery leaving her. "Now, may I ask how you knew what she was thinking, as well about her husband?"
Amalthia paled instantly. 'This is not good.' she whispered to Mokuba mentally. Mokuba had to nod in agreement.
