Secret: Aren't you glad I decided to continue? Because if I didn't then that would mean you'd never know about me and what happened to me and why I love my Pharaoh so much.
Me: We also wouldn't have to sit through your yapping and blabbing and all that too. -_-
Secret: meh…she's just jealous.
Me: Am not!
Secret: One more thing. At the end of the last chapter I mentioned Black K. 's idea about Qaseem drowning himself in the Nile. I feel so stupid. I didn't even mention the line in the last chapter. It's in this chapter.
Me: * snicker * who's stupid now?
Secret: shut it you. By the way, this chapter's for you Black. (told ya I'd do one for you ^_^)
"Well well well, look who we've got breaking and entering." It was Obaid. The guard from before…and he wasn't alone. He was with Qaseem. Oh my dear Ra, we were dead. The both of us.
"Told you I saw someone enter the pyramid!" Obaid yelled at Qaseem. "Yes yes well done." He said hatefully. "Well, Qaseem, what are we going to do with them?" Qaseem looked at me and put his face in mine. "I think this one will serve me nicely…very nicely." He said while looking at me up and down. "Go drown yourself in the Nile!" I shouted at him. (A/N: there we go! I got it right now!) He glared and pulled away. "As if a female servant is going to tell ME what to do." He then looked at Bakura, how was being held tight with his arms behind his back by Obaid.
Qaseem then grabbed me from behind. I kicked and struggled, but that did no good. He was much stronger than I was. "Well my dear, after we dispose of your friend here." He pointed to Bakura; "We'll do wonders with you…" Dispose? Did that mean kill? Most likely. They dragged us to the entrance, and there stood none other than the Pharaoh.
Perfect timing! But I soon realized it was no coincidence. Qaseem and Obaid had other guards with them, who went to go summon the Pharaoh. As much as Qaseem wanted to kill Bakura and do… whatever it was…with me, he couldn't do anything without Pharaoh's permission. I smiled at him. He didn't return it. What? He hated me now? I didn't do anything! Ok…so maybe I did something, but nothing was stolen. Nothing was opened. He had a look of sadness mixed with anger. Oh boy was I in a tight spot.
"Qaseem! Why have you captured these two?" "I found these two trying to break into the tombs your highness." He spoke with an evil smile on his face. "B-Both of them?" He didn't quite believe I was a thief. Which was true…I wasn't. "I didn't…we didn't…do anything." I said defensively. Bakura was silent. He wasn't even struggling anymore. Maybe he was thinking of a way to escape. I looked at the Pharaoh's face. Damn I was scared. Was he deciding what to do with me? Gee…I sure felt loved right then and there. But his next words made me forget all of that.
"Let them go." Was I hearing things? He was letting me go? Ah heck, forget me…he was letting him go? Bakura? What a relief. I smiled at the look on Qaseem's face. "But…my king, these are robbers! Thieves! And worse…this one is female. I ask of you to leave her to me. I shall deal with her." "I said to leave them. I shall deal with them." Qaseem stood there frozen. He let me go, which made me drop to the floor and sprain my wrist. Stupid Guard. Obaid let Bakura go too.
Qaseem didn't leave though. He stood there transfixed. "WELL!" The Pharaoh yelled. Qaseem and Obaid jumped 50 feet in the air and stumbled out of the pyramid. I laughed. Wrong move. "What did you think you were doing secret!" he was shouting so loud the walls shook, and they were mad of some pretty hard materials. "I…" I had no answer. "Do you realize the penalty for robbery? DO YOU!" I hung my head in shame. The words I'm sorry came to mind, but I didn't think he wanted to hear them.
"You…broke in. You're helping this tomb robber." Bakura flinched. "You are breaking rules Secret. You've gone too far." I gasped. He was…he was going to kill me! He was…I felt like fainting. He was going to make sure I was dead? Those thoughts of him supposedly loving me came back. Oh no…and Bakura? He was going to die too? "You're…not serious…Pharaoh…are…are you?" He sighed and began to speak again. "Secret…"
Bakura interrupted him. "You stupid Pharaoh." I opened my eyes as wide as they could go. Stupid Pharaoh? Ouch…they would probably make his death as painful as possible. "How dare you speak to me in that tone robber." "Don't you know? I dragged your little secret in here. Funny how your loyal subjects aren't loyal eh? Your guards lie. They didn't tell you how she was trying to stop me." I looked at him. He was lying! A downright lie! Not even one word was true. I respected him from that day on. Of course…I'd never see him again after that…Bakura, whoever he was, saved my life.
"Secret…is this true?" I didn't want to lie either…but I'd explain to him later tonight. When we were alone. "Y-yes." I said my voice cracking. "Leave robber." "What?" Bakura was evidently surprised that he was being let go. "You heard me. Leave. I'll tell them I have dealt with you. Go now." Bakura didn't wait to be told again. He got up and started to run. "Just remember…anymore of this and I will not hesitate next time." Bakura looked back one last time and smiled at me. Not a smirk and not a warm smile…just a regular smile.
~*~Yami's POV~*~
She was trying to stop him? My guards lied to me? Qaseem lied to me? I grimaced at the thought of what I was going to do to my Secret. Was I really going to…to…kill her? Was I? This power stuff really got to my head sometimes. Right then right there I made a vow to myself. I would never do anything to her no matter what she did. Maybe that was unfair, but all is fair in love in war. If I had given the order to kill her at any point in time, I would never forgive myself. I carried her out. I didn't care if anyone saw me or her crying into my chest.
Apparently, the same thoughts were running through her mind. Was the Pharaoh going to kill me? I knew that's what she was thinking. Was her lover just going to behead her? Was her king just going to waver her off? Pretend she was never an anything? I scolded myself. I was the cruelest man in Egypt.
~*~Secret's POV~*~
I was being carried. Not to my chambers. To Pharaoh's. He had to THINK whether he should kill me or not? I could tell he really loved me. I don't know when we reached his private chambers. I just know we did, and then he laid me down on his bed and lied down next to me. Silence. I decided to tell him the truth. "Pharaoh…" He had other conversations to start. "Secret, no. I'm sorry. I will never let any harm come to you. I was just…actually...I don't know what I was thinking. I was putting my reputation above you. Forgive me Secret…please?" his eyes were pleading.
I smiled. "I'll forgive you…if you forgive…me." "What is there to be forgiven?" he just had to make it harder. "I…the story. It's not true." He looked at me. It was 'that' look again. "It…you…he…lied?" "We were just…I don't know." I cried into his chest again. To my surprise, he hugged me back. Whew. Ok everything was fine. It was all ok. I was going to stay alive, and he wasn't going to be angry and kill me.
"Let's just imagine nothing happened all right?" He said in my ear. I nodded. He started to stroke my hair. I needed that. I promised myself I would never go exploring again. I was just going to be a good little dancer and do what I was supposed to do. Never again was I going to break any rules. Never.
Me: I just noticed something. You said you never saw Bakura again. OF COURSE YOU HAVE!
Secret: no duh. That's what I was thinking BACK THEN…dork.
Me: I soooooo knew that…now where is my physics book? I have a lotta work to do.
Secret: * whistling * I didn't take it!
Me: hmmm…OMG! My…my…my…book. How did it get in the FIREPLACE?! AHH! My dad gonna sell me now…
Secret: I gotta go…she's getting the infamous frying pan * gulps * Review please! Sorry is this is a little short. I promise to do a longer one next time! * Runs *
