Ok, I kinda "ditched" my other Seto/Isis fic. Why? Uh because I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what will happen next.
Anywayz, this is my second attempt at writing a fic. The title sucks, I know. I'll change soon. Flame me if you wish. By the way, I am WELL AWARE that some info on the characters might be incorrect but I'm just changing them a bit for this story, so please don't bit my head off.
Ages:
Isis - 20
Yami - 20 (hey, what am I suppose to do, say he's 5000 years old?)
Seto - 20 (yeah, I'm aware that he's about 4 years younger than Isis but hey)
FYI this story takes place in ancient Egypt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isis' POV
That moment kept repeating itself endlessly through my head. I pictured it clearly, as if it had only happened yesterday... but it didn't.
FLASHBACK
"Malik!" I yelled. One of the soldiers of the pharaoh knocked him unconscious. I stood there helplessly as Malik fell to the ground. Tears began to escape my eyes. I tried very hard to escape the grip of these soldiers, but their grip only got stronger. I had failed. Failed to protect my brother. I could only hope that he would be able to survive without me.
END FLASHBACK
That day 10 years ago, still eats away at my soul. The thought that I couldn't protect my little brother, the thought that I didn't even try to escape from this hell to find him, it all ate away at my soul.
FLASHBACK
I had arrived at the pharaoh's palace not too long after with the soldiers. I bowed down to him.
"What is your name?" The pharaoh asked.
I tilted my head up a bit and answered, "Isis, Isis Ishtar."
"Very well" he said. He motioned for one of the female servants to come to him. "Take this girl to the servant's room. She is to be cleaned and given new clothes. You are to tell her what her job is when those tasks are completed, understood?"
The servant nodded. She motioned for me to follow her and I did. I paused for a moment and noticed young prince Yami looking at me. Those purple eyes of his scared me. They made me feel so insecure and threatened. I knew that when he became pharaoh one day, he would probably make my days a living hell. I shrugged the thought away and continued to follow the servant.
END FLASHBACK
I was wrong. Pharaoh Yami hadn't made my days a living hell; instead he made me his queen. I didn't have any feelings toward this man yet I accepted his proposal. I accepted because I hoped that he would help me find my brother. I had told him many times about Malik but Yami didn't care. He kept saying, "Wherever your brother may be, I am sure he's ok. You don't need him, you've got me". It hurt whenever he said that. All he ever cared about was Duel Monsters.
I looked up at the stars from the bedroom balcony. They were so beautiful. If only Malik was here to them with me. Was he alive though? Where was he? Was he alone? Did someone decided to take care of him? Did he TRY to search for me? Does he even REMEMBER me? I had so many unanswered questions.
I couldn't stand this place any longer. I had to run away. Away from all the servants, guards and especially Yami. Away... but to where? It didn't matter where. Anywhere was better than being here.
I wore different clothes so once I was out, I wouldn't cause a scene.
I couldn't exit through the front door because of the guards. So instead, I went to the back door. There were only 2 guards there. I found two rocks nearby and knocked them both unconscious. Once I was out the door, I ran before anyone could come after me.
Freedom. That's where I was right now. I had no idea what to do next. Look for Malik? Sure, I could do that, but how? Egypt is huge. It could take forever to find him. What if he wasn't EVEN in Egypt? No, I couldn't start thinking that. But it WAS possible.
"Malik..." I said softly as tears began to form in my eyes. I held them back.
"Queen?" said a voice.
I turned around to see who it was. I just hope it wasn't Yami or a soldier.
"Seto!" I said with a surprised look on my face. He nodded. I completely forgot about him. He was once a slave just like me. But Yami's father had taken interest in him and decided that he would make a good priest one day. Seto became Yami's loyal companion and a priest ten years later.
"What are you doing out here?" Seto asked in a cold tone.
"I, I just wanted to get away from the palace" I answered. "Will you tell him that I ran away?"
Seto shook his head. "Wouldn't Pharaoh Yami be worried about you?"
"I don't care about him OR his palace" I answered in a rough tone.
"If you don't care about him, why did you decide to be his queen in the first place?" Seto asked.
"Because I was hoping that he would help me find my brother, but he didn't" I answered. Tears began forming in my eyes again but this time, I couldn't hold them back. They began to fall down my cheek. I turned around so Seto couldn't see those tears.
"Queen..." Seto said taking two steps closer to me.
I turned back around and looked at those blue eyes of his. They weren't so icy and distant like they always were. They were so innocent and warm yet full of sorrow. "Please don't call me that Seto."
"Very well, Isis" he said. "What happened to your brother?"
I was happy to know that someone even decided to know what happened. "Ten years ago, my brother and I were being chased by the soldiers of the pharaoh. Since they were on horses, it didn't take them long to stop us. They took me away and Malik was knocked unconscious."
"I will help you find your brother" said Seto.
I was surprised. I couldn't believe what he just said. "Why?"
"Because I am searching for my little brothers as well" he answered.
"What happened to them?" I asked curiously.
Seto took a step back. I could tell that he too started to feel tears forming. "I don't know. It happened eight years ago. I was coming home from the market alone when a bunch of guys who said they were soldiers of the pharaoh came up to me and knocked me out. I never got a chance to see my little brothers."
"I'm sorry to hear that" I said quietly. I took a step closer to him and stared into those blue eyes. "I'm sure that wherever our brothers are, they're safe."
Seto stared into my eyes. We were only inches away from each other. "You're right. I have to believe that they're safe. And I know that someday, we'll be reunited with our brothers."
With that said, I rested my head on Seto's chest and tears began falling down my cheek, but I was happy. He wrapped his arms around me. I felt his warm tears falling down on my bare shoulders. I was determined to find Malik with Seto by my side giving me hope and support.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good? bad? Probably bad but *sigh* o well. Yes I know Seto only has one brother and that's Mokuba. I think it's pretty obvioius who Seto's other 'brother' is. ^^ Why did I decide to put him in the story? Because I BARELY see this guy in ANY fics. I am ALSO AWARE that he ISN'T Seto's brother.
Chapter 2 should be up REALLY soon. And I mean it this time. ^^
