Twilight: *snuggles up on Marik's lap* OK you can continue now.
Marik: Are you comfortable Twi?
Twilight: Yes, Thank you!
Marik: mmmm
Yami: Can we hear the next chapter already?
Marik: Poor Pharaoh has nobody to snuggle with. HAHAHA
Me: OK Yami I'll let you read the next chapter if I can sit in your lap.
Yami: Deal
Marik: *mutters curse in Egyptian*
Me: DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! I wish to hell that I did cause
I'd be RICH!! I do however own my original characters, Twilight, Sarah
and Duncan MacLeod. Please R/R.
Chapter 3: A Move Toward Destiny
Later that month...
Duncan MacLeod marveled at the change that had come over his two girls.
Choosing to adopt Twilight into their family had been the right decision. Her powers, though she kept them hidden, had grown. He did not
know the full extent of them, but she had explained most of her basic
powers.
Control her environment so that it suited her needs.
When evil approached, it gave her a cold chill.
Talk to animals in English or Gaelic, yet understand what they said.
Hear a person's thoughts and block any attempt to read her own.
Levitate objects, which got very annoying.
If she was sad, the weather seemed to reflect it.
Cure minor injuries with a touch of her hand.
The fact that she understood Gaelic was a mystery to Twilight. Sarah had
pulled some prank and scared her. She cursed her out in flawless Gaelic,
like it was her primary language. Duncan had not been to thrilled to
hear that, but it did cause him to wonder what other hidden talents were
buried in that mind of hers. Looking into the old legends concerning her
fate had not been very successful. All he could find was a folk song
that told the tale of Unicorn that saved a village from invaders. It was
something to go on at least.
"No way! You beat me again!" Sarah yelled from outside. "You are either
a natural at this game or you're cheating."
"What is all the fuss about down there," Duncan called out, walking up
to the window.
"Nothing Da; we are just playing a game," Sarah replied.
"It's almost time to leave for the airport, girls. You had better be
ready when I am."
They were sitting on grass with a game board between them, each girl
staring intently at the cards in their hands. Not even bothering to look
up at her father, Sarah yelled, "We'll be ready." She placed one of her
cards face down. Another pause and she added another next to the first
card.
"Done yet?" Twilight asked.
"OK, its your move," Sarah said. "Wait. Look at the time. We forgot to
get the supply kit ready."
"You just don't want to lose again," smirked Twilight. Though new to the
Duel Monsters game, she found it a challenge to play. Only one more turn
and she could have brought her new sister to defeat yet again. She had
the Dark Magician in her hand. "Come on, let's go. I can't wait to see
this flying machine."
Sarah laughed. Twilight had been amazed at the wonders of modern
technology. She learned fast at everything, but the idea of a large
chunk of metal that could carry people through the air was not one of
them. Computers were another story. Da had had to buy Twilight her own
because she spent so much time on it. Sarah did not mind sharing with
the Unicorn. They had become best friends as well as sisters. Once they
got to Japan and were settled, Da agreed to allow Twilight to attend
school with her. Hopefully Domino City would not be another city devoid
of fun.
Later that day...
Twilight stood frozen in place, staring out the window of the airport,
her green eyes flashing with both fear and excitement at her first look
at an airplane. "So this is a modern dragon," she thought. She was
looking forward to this move. Somehow she felt as if she was being drawn
to this far off city. Sarah had expressed her fears about Domino City
being similar to home, but Twilight saw nothing boring. Everything was a
challenge to learn. Duncan, or Da as he wished to be called, told them
to pack their carryon with things that they could not do without. The
flight was going to be long. She had brought some books to read along
with her Duel Monsters deck. Sarah was going to share the CD player so
she only had to bring her music. She just hoped that she had not
forgotten something.
A sudden chill came over her, making her gasp. There was danger nearby.
She slowly turned around so she could take a look around without being
obvious about it. Nothing. Slowly shifting her gaze back to the others,
she caught a glimpse of shadow behind a pillar.
"Well, girls," Duncan sighed. "It's time to say goodbye to Scotland. Our
plane is about to board." He gathered the bags and ushered both girls
toward the gate.
Watching the trio board the plane, a tall man of muscular build pulled
out his cell phone. He was dressed completely in black, right down to
his hooded trench coat. "They just boarded the plane and they have a
layover in Cairo." Frowning into the phone, he replied, "I understand
perfectly, my master." He turned back toward the gate the family had
gone through. It was not quite time to set the plan into motion. The
girl needed to discover more of herself before she could be of any use.
The man blended back into the shadows without anyone seeing him.
Later....
"Sarah, what are you reading?" Duncan asked.
"Nothing Da," came the reply.
Glancing down at the trashy romance novel, Sarah wondered how she was
going to get her him to forget about it. He hated her reading sex
stories, not like this book was really that bad anyway. How else was one
supposed to learn.
"We should be landing in Cairo soon," Duncan told her.
Sarah let out a low sigh, she was spared this time. Twilight was asleep,
no doubt exhausted from all that studying. Sometimes she wondered why her newfound sister always had her nose in a book. But, afterall, she had a lot of lost time to make up for. Twilight had a passion for science it seemed. Volcanoes were her favorite thing to read up on. Sarah envied her for being such a quick study. They did share a passion for music, both girls were musically inclined. Singing to the stereo was a daily routine. Sarah observed that her sister seemed to grow stronger when she focused on her music. It saddened Sarah though, to watch Twilight struggle with her lost memories. Her nightmares were proof that it must have taken something terrible to keep her memories buried. Sarah glanced over at Twilight again. Her sister was having another bad dream. Placing her hand gently over Twilight's, she gave it a reassuring squeeze. That did the trick as Twilight visibly relaxed in her sleep.
Duncan had also noticed but before he could say anything he was
interrupted. The flight attendant's voice came over the P.A. system,
informing the passengers that the plane was about to land in Cairo
International. With all the noise Twilight woke up from her nap. She
quickly turned to look out the window, hoping to see some famous
landmark before landing.
"I know I've been here before," Twilight thought as she looked out the
plane's window. Maybe this stop would give her a chance to remember
something of her past. "Even if I can't remember anything at least we
can all have some fun here." Then her stomach lurched as the plane began
a steep descent. Her ears began to pop from the change in altitude.
Deciding it was time to get worried about crashing, Twilight closed her
eyes in silent prayer. Minutes became hours as she waited for the plane
to finally land. With a shake the plane touched down and slowly came to
a stop on the runway.
"We've landed Hun," Duncan said with a grin. He nudged her a bit, trying
to get her to relax.
They gathered up their bags and unboard the plane. Duncan lead them
towards the airline counter so they could find out exactly how long they
had until they had to board the next plane. He motioned the girls to
stay with the luggage while he spoke to the man at the desk. The clerk
informed him that their scheduled flight and all others were being
cancelled due to a sand storm heading toward the city. Once it passed
they would be notified of the new flight schedule. Any hotel and
transportation costs were being paid by the company. Walking back to the
girls, Duncan saw them talking to a young Egyptian boy.
"Well girls, it looks like we are stuck here for a day or so," he
explained. Turning to the boy he said "Hello, I'm Duncan MacLeod, their
father." This was followed by three blushing faces and the girls glaring
at him.
"My name is Namu," the boy said. He was looked to be around sixteen with
long platinum blond hair and eyes the color of lavender. He was wearing
a sleeveless, hooded white top along with loose fitting black pants. "I
take it your gonna be stuck here till the so-called sand storm blows
over. What hotel are you at? I can show you where it is." Namu smiled at
the man.
"That is very nice of you Namu. We would love to have some help. Here is
where the airline is putting us up." Duncan missed the look the girls
shot his way. They were amazed he accepted Namu's help without a full
search and background check. It felt good to keep them guessing
sometimes.
"I know where this is. Just follow me, its only a quick walk down the
street. They can deliver your bags there." Namu started off down the
busy street, with the trio following behind. He gave them short
descriptions of places they saw along the way to the hotel. The group
was almost at the hotel when two men wearing long purple cloaks walked
in front of them.
"Just a minute folks; we know someone who would like to have a little
chat with you," one of them said. It was more a command than a request.
"Come along quietly and don't make a scene."
.......
Marik: FINALLY! I was beginning to wonder if you'd ever get around to
adding my dashing self into the story.
Twilight: WOOHOO!! *runs to Marik and gives him a sloppy wet kiss*
Marik: O.O AHH! *whispers* I told you NOT in public!
Yami: Please I just had dinner....
Marik: Shut Up Pharaoh! Don't go ordering us about because you have a
weak stomach.
Yami: By the GODS, Do you ALWAYS have to have the last word?
Marik: Always *smirk*
Me: OK ENOUGH!! You two boys are going to drive me insane before I
finish this story. Now be gone before I do something rash and drop a
bomb on you guys.
Yami and Marik: O.O
Yami: You wouldn't dare..
Marik: She would
Me: -__-* Please R/R. I like to know what you all think.
Marik: Are you comfortable Twi?
Twilight: Yes, Thank you!
Marik: mmmm
Yami: Can we hear the next chapter already?
Marik: Poor Pharaoh has nobody to snuggle with. HAHAHA
