Chapter 4: A Friend, Lover or Foe?
Twilight was not impressed with the men in robes. Something jogged in her mind. She knew they meant her, and her alone, harm. Namu did not seem very concerned either. Tucking that thought away for now, she backed up a few steps to get behind Duncan. Sarah mimicked her motions and came up next to her.
"Stay behind me girls," whispered Duncan. Turning his attention back to the men he called, "Whatever you have to talk to us about it can wait. We've had a long flight and..."
"You don't get a choice, mister!" one of them interrupted. "You either come with us nice and quiet like or else we gonna have to do things the hard way." The man punched his fist into the palm of the other hand to demonstrate he meant business.
Twilight, on the other hand, was thinking about just making them vanish. But with people passing them on the street, it would not be smart to use her powers that way. Besides, she was not convinced these men were working by themselves. The nagging feeling that another threat existed close by had not gone away.
"On the other hand," she thought, "maybe a small light show would do the trick. What could I use to scare them the most? Wait a minute, I saw one with a deck of Duel Monsters. If I can bring one to life, they might freak out long enough for us to get away."
Closing her eyes and focusing on an image, she projected the monster into the sky behind the cloaked men. Since this was a simple trick, there was no outward sign of her even using her power. Sarah though elbowed her in the ribs. Ignoring her, Twilight gasped and pointed toward the golden monster that resembled a griffin, approaching them from behind. Just as she hoped the two men, and everyone in the area, turned and screamed at the sight. Taking no chances, her father rushed them all down an alley.
Namu was the last to follow as he stared in pure wonderment at the golden creature. "How can this be," he thought. "Only a handful of people know about the God Cards." He stole a glance at the beautiful redhead, wondering if she had caused the monster to appear. "Could the legend of the Unicorn be real then?" he wondered. "This is my chance to find out all I can about her powers. My plan depends on the legends being right. If she isn't the one, all my planning was useless."
She had a slight smirk that lasted but an instant. Other than that she gave no outward sign that the illusion was in her control. Fear and panic was what she showed the others, but Namu thought she deserved an Oscar for the performance. "The legends were true then," he thought to himself. "Now all my plans can be set into motion. They believe me to be a boy named Namu when in fact, I'm her greatest threat, Marik Ishtar! Soon I will have all the power I desire and I'll keep her as my queen, willing or not. No one will dare oppose me, not even the mighty Pharaoh. I shall have the whole world under my control!!"
"We should split up," Duncan suggested and turned to Namu. "You know this area better than us. I think they are after Twilight, so I'm trusting you to get her to safety."
"All right. We can all meet back at your hotel once it's safe to return," Namu agreed. To himself he thought, "This is going to be such a breeze."
Marik grabbed Twilight's wrist and pulled her toward the alley. She did not fight him, but did turn tearful eyes on her father. As they ducked into the alley she saw a motorcycle parked near the side of the building. A chill raced down her spine, causing her to stop. A new warning that there was someone or something else out to cause her harm. She stared at Namu, who was asking her why she had stopped. She knew it was wrong to invade a person's mind without asking but she had to know if her new friend was on the right side. Reaching out with her mind, she gently probed his mind. She found only a stone wall blocking her attempt.
"It's rude to search a person's mind without their permission, you know," he said. "Don't look so shocked. Look, I'll explain once we're safe, but let's just do as your father wanted and get the hell away from here!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his bike. Not bothering with the helmet, he swung one lean leg over the side and started the motor. He held out his hand to her. "Climb on behind me and put your arms around my waist. Whatever you do, just don't let go."
Deciding not to argue with him, she did as asked without saying a word. They raced off down the alley to the next street. He turned the corner, got on the main road, and headed out of the city. The hotel was on the outer part of town, so it took no time at all till they were making their way deep into the desert.
They had been traveling for about fifteen minutes when Marik finally stopped his bike. The ride had been excruciating for him. All he could think about was the feel of Twilight's soft body pressed up against his back. She had her arms wrapped tightly around his mid-section, which caused her ample breasts to press into his back. He could feel himself growing hard with desire, the bulge pressing against his already tight pants.
"Thank Ra my pants are black," he thought. Twilight had hopped down off his bike and had begun to pace in front of him. "It would have made such a great distraction though. She looks hell-bent on getting answers now. Maybe I'll just drop another bomb shell on her and see how angry she can get." He calmly adjusted the pressure in his pants to allow himself relief.
"How did you make that card come to life?" Marik asked her. "And before you ask me anything I know you created it cause I saw you do it. What I can't figure out is how you did it." This made her even more flustered.
"And I would like to know how you could tell I was trying to read your thoughts. Not to mention how you managed to block me," demanded Twilight. Green eyes flashed with annoyance, anger and something else. She was determined not to let him see how much his presence affected her. The ride over here had sheer torture. How could she desire a person she hardly knew? Pushing those thoughts aside she waited for him to answer her questions.
"I asked you first."
She wondered how he would take the truth. Since she was the only Unicorn on the planet, that she knew of. He might just think she was insane and leave her out here, in the middle of the desert. She could also just use her power to get as far away from him as she could. That way, at least, she could get her emotions under control. Looking at him, with his bronze bare arms folded over his chest, that was exactly what she wanted to do. He was too damn good looking for his own good. And those eyes! His eyes made her want to try a few wicked ideas she had read in one of Sarah's romance books. This kind of thinking was getting her nowhere.
"OK, I'll tell you," she said. "But you have to promise me you'll not laugh or tell me I'm crazy. I'm a Unicorn." She studied his face for any sign that he thought her mentally ill. He only watched her with those mezmorizing eyes of his. "You believe me then?" she asked.
"Yes I do," said Marik. "I've been taught to believe in some legends. But why did you try and read my mind?"
Twilight felt the heat of a blush rising to her cheeks. What was she to say to him now? "Your turn to explain." That was good enough, not to mention the only thing she could get out of her mouth.
"There is something I just have to do first," he said while taking a few steps closer to her, pure male strength radiating from him. He suddenly snaked an arm out and pulled her into an embrace. Not giving her anytime to thing his lips covered hers. Her head swam with all the emotions flooding her brain. She slowly wound her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He tightened his hold with a growl and deepened the kiss. His tonge skimmed her lips and she opened her mouth a bit wider.
There was a sudden gust of wind that wrapped her long red hair around Marik's head. That was when she heard the voice. "Tha mi cumail suil ort," a low husky voice sounded on the wind. `I am watching you'. Twilight pulled away and looked around.
"Did you say that?" she demanded.
Marik saw how frightened she had become. One minute he had her right where he wanted her and the next, gone. What could have spooked her so much? "What do you mean? All I hear is the wind. THE WIND!! The sandstorm is coming, look!"
He pointed back towards the city. There was an eerie brown cloud slowly engulfing the city. They were trapped out here. The storm was heading toward them from town, the same direction from which they came. Marik knew of only one place they could take shelter in. He reasoned they had just enough time to make it there before the storm caught up to them. He had only one problem, Twilight. She still looked like she had seen a ghost.
"I want to know who said that. The voice I heard spoke in Scottish Gaelic. I don't think you speak that do you?" She was rambling now. Nothing seemed quite right now. She had a sick feeling deep down in the pit of her stomach that something was wrong.
