{Anzu screamed and wriggled in her captors grip, spitting at those her eyed her

warily. A dark, haunting laugh rose to her ears, "Feisty isn't she?" the guard

next to her chuckled, "Definetly." An older man stepped in front of her and

grabbed her rear. "She'd make a nice concubine for my son." A small boy,

roughly Anzu's age stood in the shadows, bandages covring much of his body,

not being able to help herself she stated aloud, "A concubine for a mummy? Who's

ever heard of that?" The tall blonde man's face went red and he punched Anzu

in the stomach, "We'll definetly take her, if not for a concubine but for

a sandbag substitute." The two men laughed amongst themselves and Anzu

breathed shallowly, vivid memories haunting her thoughts.}

The third X; A thief's trial, Anzu's story

The third X, when one life ends. When another,

more harsh, cruel and desolate begins. For a thief, the third X is slavery.

OOC: This chapter is really crummy but I felt bad for not updating so I threw

something together, I have pretty gruesome remake of the last chapter on Bakurah

Point Of Vue but my computer won't let me post it, I guess it was deemed too long?

I don't know.. Comments? Anything? Email me. Chars of yours you'd like in my

story? Email me, MarikzAngel@hotmail.com Thanks....

Anzu's mind was dull, her thoughts irrationnal. "How many summers old am I?" she

asked to herself as the memories flew from her mind. She wreatched another time

in memory of something she'd never forget but could never remember, only one name

seemed to reside in the twisting depths, one that even her thoughts seemed to

loathe. Bakurah. Anzu climbed down the staircase into the living room, the

curtains were torn; yet there was nothing else out of the ordinary. Anzu stepped

delicatly into the room when she saw a puddle of red and red flooded the room.

Reality returning she descended the staircase into the living room, the

foul stench of bodies scratching her nose. Her dejavue feeling left and she set

about cleaning up their dead bodies. They wanted to be set adrift in the nyle as was

tradition in her bloodline, so that they may once again rise and walk the sands of

egypt. Soon there was no longer any blood, but vengence clawed at her thoughts and

hunger at her stomach.

No money was left in her house and she could never bear to part with any of

the relics within so she set Namu about guarding her home and wandered off into

the market. Her hand slipped out and snatched an apple off a clerks stand. Though

it didn't go unnoticed as all the apples piled on top of it tumbled down after

it. "GUARDS! GUARDS! THIEF! THIEF!" shouted the clerk pointing at Anzu's retreating

figure, she never did have nimble fingers but as she scurried off she managed to picked

up a dozen other apples. She made it safely back to her home.

When she got there the guards were waiting, or not waiting exactly but

they seemed to be guarding a royal who was inspecting her house. Her home for years

was going to be taken from her and so she whistled and Namu barked, "What are you dooing

in my house!?" she yelled disrespectfully at the High Priest's men. One of them

recognised her, "You're the thief from the market!" Anzu hissed, "WHAT ARE YOU

DOING IN MY RAH-DAMNED HOUSE!?"
