Chapter fourteen: And so it starts...
The two days had passed by uneventfully. Ryou was left alone to his thoughts as was Mary-Jane. Bakura had been going around the public markets trying to find something to keep his mind sharp from the boredom.
Marikku had the same routine for the two days: going out for a ride on his motorcycle and coming "home" in the middle of the afternoon and accompanying Bakura to the market places.
Mary-Jane wondered if the Pharaoh would be able to find her and Ryou in time, but she had given up all hope of being rescued. She was in the same room as she had always been and didn't get the chance to speak to Ryou except for that one time.
As the moon arose, the third day came to focus. Marikku took M-J from her room as Bakura did the same with his aibou. They both didn't try to get away as the grips of the two yamis was quite strong.
They began walking in the desert at about 2:30am because the Sacred Temple was in good distance from the hideout. M-J and Ryou were in the middle and Bakura and Marikku were right next to them so that both of the sacrifices were not to run away or try something foolish.
As the hours went by, the four passed by huge pyramids and miles and miles of gold covered sand. The sun was soon to be making its arrival.
~In The Pharaoh's Palace~
The Pharaoh was pacing back and forth, waiting for his guards to return with some news as to where the girl had gone. His pacing was cut off by a sound at his chamber doors.
"Enter, he said
-My Pharaoh, we have found no sigh of the girl. However, we did find a little wood cabin somewhat far from here. We think that the girl was being kept there by someone because all the rooms had locks.
-Very well. I want my best men to come with me to the Sacred Temple. This girl told me some interesting facts about a Ritual that should be complete soon. Is today not the third day that marks the arrival of the girl?
-Yes my Pharaoh, it is. But why do you ask
-We must leave at once! Get my men and my horses and meet me in the front of the Palace in five minutes, demanded the Pharaoh.
-Yes, right away your majesty, responded the guard"
~Back To Our Little Group In The Desert~
It was now 5:30am and Ryou, Mary-Jane, Marikku, and Bakura were dead in the middle of the desert. They had been walking for about 3 hours and the sun had already begun to shine brightly. The group had stopped for a while in front of a huge Temple and Bakura was the first to say something.
"So, is this the place Marikku?
-Indeed. Now keep hold of the wench while I open the underground passage, he said giving M-J to Bakura.
-My pleasure, he trailed off..."
With that, Bakura was now holding M-J in his right hand and Ryou in his left one. While Marikku was turned around chanting for the secret passage to open up, Ryou gave M-J a good look that it would be now or never the time to try and get away.
As fast as they could, both teens tripped Bakura, who let go them go as he was trying to catch his balance. They made a break for it and began to run in the desert as they heard Bakura's cussing. They didn't make it far, however.
Marikku had seen it coming and ran after Mary-Jane as Bakura ran after his aibou. It didn't take the yamis long before they caught up with the teens. Bakura went and tripped his aibou as he fell.
Marikku grabbed Mary-Jane's wrist and twisted it in her back to the breaking point, making her spot dead in her run. She screamed out in pain as he twisted it, saying:
"So you little wench, thought you and your friend could escape us, did you? I told you what would happen if you would try to run off, didn't I, he asked
-Please don't... she trailed off in a pained voice.
-Ah. Well you will learn not to disobey me again, foolish girl!"
And with that, Marikku twisted M-J wrist to its breaking point until a little snap noise was heard followed by a scream. He let her go as she fell on her knees, clutching her broken wrist, tear about to for in her eyes.
Convinced that nor she or Ryou would try to run off again; Marikku turned around and finished his chant. Ryou got close to M-J and said:
"I'm so sorry Mary-Jane. This was all my fault. I shouldn't have convinced you to run away.
-It's alright Ryou. It was worth a try. Besides, my wrist doesn't hurt so much now.
-Don't kid yourself; yes it does still hurt a lot. I can see it in your eyes."
Ryou then ripped a little bit of his t-shirt and wrapped it around M-J wrist, making sure it was tight.
"Here, he said, this should hold until we can be saved."
After the secret passage had been opened, Marikku took hold once again of Mary-Jane's upper arm as Bakura did the same with his aibou. They entered the Temple and what they saw was enough to make one's jaw drop.
Gold. Gold everywhere. The walls had hieroglyphs painted on them; the floors were solid gold, as well as the sealing, and all the other objects imaginable... Ryou's jaw almost hit the floor in full speed if it wasn't for his shyness. They group began walking up inside the main part of the Temple, the location of the sacrifice...
So, did you like this one? I'm getting a writer's block again so it might be a while before you see another chapter (about like 2 or 3 days) Review. Ja'ne
