Chapter 2
Megan's P.O.V.
I slide into the shirt that the young man handed to me. I starred at his wound that bled freely.
"We should get that cleaned…" I looked at it with concern.
"It's fine let's go." He grabbed my arm again and dragged me away. He was careful and took alley ways through the city.
"Where are we going?" I asked him, trying to slow the pace a bit and start an innocent conversation.
"Somewhere safe…for you."
"Safe? I was safe at my house until you came along!" I puffed out my cheeks and buried my heels into the gravel.
"Ra! Megan, you must follow me, someone is after you!"
"Appearantly you all are!" I ripped my wrist from his grasp and stood there in the shadows of the brick buildings around me. "I want answers!"
I let out a scream as the stranger flung me over his shoulders and began to jog towards the river.
"Please don't drown me!" I screamed in panic.
"Would you just shut up!" He shook my body wildly as he carried me into an old broken down warehouse.
Malik's P.O.V.
She might be beautiful but boy was she annoying. I carried the half naked girl on my shoulder as I jogged into the warehouse.
I smiled and was relieved to see that Yugi had already made it to our place of hiding.
Regular P.O.V.
"Good evening, Malik." Yugi smiled and starred at the man carrying a screaming woman on his shoulder.
"She is one to handle!" Malik slung the girl onto the couch in the corner.
"I am one to handle! You dragged me out of the shower! I still have soap in my hair!" Megan pointed at them both and curled up on the old couch.
"She is scared to death, Malik, what did you do to the poor girl." Yugi began to walk to the figure on the couch, but it crouched away.
"I had to take her, he was looking for her!" Malik sat on a stool in the center of the run down dreary room.
"Does she know what is going on around her?" Yugi took another step towards Megan, "Would you like a drink, dear?" He poured a glass of water from the sink at the edge of the room.
"Do you have a shower?" Megan spoke softly, "or any other clothes, some that actually cover me…" She blushed and looked to the floor, causing Malik to fight the urge to run to her and make her his.
Yugi sensed this and walked to Megan, glaring at Malik. "Come on child, I will show you were you can change."
"Thanks…" Megan stood and walked behind Yugi. He led her into a back room and then returned.
"She will be fine, she's showering right now." Yugi sat on the couch. "She is quite young, Malik, are we sure she is…"
"I am sure." Malik stared to the floor, the walked to the sink. "I felt it, Yugi. I felt the power, and that power is strong." He twisted the water to cold and let it run while he got a glass. In no time at all a high screech scream came from the shower.
"Ra, Malik!" Yugi laughed, "You are making quite an impression on this girl."
"Quiet!" He twisted it off just as Megan reentered the room.
"Are you stupid! Or is it the golden blonde hair of yours that keeps you from thinking!" Megan was red in the face, her eyes flaring with anger, and her body wet and covered in a robe.
"I'm sorry, Megan." He look at her, he meant it.
Megan threw up her hands and ran back to the other room, her feet pitter pattering along, leaving wet marks.
"I'm still thirsty." Malik laughed aloud as Yugi assisted.
They were both still laughing as Megan walked back into the room. Her sliver locks thick with water, but as bright as the moon.
"Would you like anything to eat, Megan?" Malik asked her this after he regained composure.
"I would like to go home!" She sighed and slumped into a seat far from them both.
"We can't let you go home, Megan." Malik starred at her carefully, expecting for her to lash out, to fire some spell or attack mentally. His breath caught in his throat though when he saw a tear fall from her eyes. Malik looked over to Yugi, who just shrugged in return. "Something is happening, Megan…" His voice faded when her hand flew into the air.
"I want to go home." Another tear formed in the corner of her eye and fell down her cheek. She stood and walked to the door, but Malik was quick to follow.
"Princess…" Malik's voice was soft.
"Shut up!" She twisted on her heel and glared at him with her vicious green eyes. "Just shut up!"
Megan ran past him and into the back room that she had only earlier left.
Malik's P.O.V.
I stood there bewildered, how could I do this to someone so beautiful? I began to walk to the room she had just slammed the door to; however, Yugi was quick to end my attempts.
"Let her sleep on it, Malik. You took her from her home, but for her safety." Yugi grabbed a phone book. "How about I go get some pizza?" He offered me a smile.
I nodded my head but watched the door. I dragged a stool across from it and sat there watching it.
She cried. Her eyes wept, all because of me. All because I am trying to save her.
I sat there just staring at the wooden door, all evening, hoping she would exit from it, so he could hold her and tell her it would be alright.
Watching those tears fall down her skin changed me. I didn't want to make her cry, I wanted to protect her. Is that what I am doing?
Yugi had left almost a half hour ago and yet to return. This had made me worry and I prepared for an ambush.
"Malik, open the door I got more food!" Yugi's voice echoed. "Do you think the girl likes Chinese or Italian?"
I laughed slightly. "You couldn't just get the pizza huh?"
Regular P.O.V.
Megan lay in the bed weeping, her eyes aching from the sudden burst of tears. She pulled the covers over her head listening to the events outside her room.
"I want to go home!" She flung her wrist into the bed.
"Yugi, I don't know what to do." Malik stood next to the TV trying to make the picture work. His head sunk low as thoughts ran through his head. His heart still hurt from the earlier conversation with the Princess.
"Everything will be okay, Malik…I mean, this has to be difficult for you." Yugi shook his head back and forth and shoved another slice of pizza into his mouth. "DO you think she is hungry?" He looked at the door.
"Maybe…" Malik strode over to the door and knocked on it softly, "We have pizza, and chocolates and other food…are you hungry?" Malik stood there hoping for an answer.
He returned to the TV disappointed. "I guess she isn't…"
The door slowly slid open, and Megan stepped out wrapped in a blanket. Her eyes were drenched and puffy red from her crying. Malik was tempted to be by her side, but that would be too much for her.
"I am a lil' hungry…" She stood there and looked at Yugi, her eyes almost pleading with him.
"Help yourself, Megan; I wouldn't even know where to begin with what you like to eat." Yugi smiled. "But would you like a drink of anything?"
"I would like some soda I guess…"She plucked a slice of pizza and tossed it onto a plate. "Thank you…" She smiled at Yugi as she accepted the glass of soda. She walked to the couch and sat to eat, keeping her eyes on the floor.
"Megan…" Malik looked at her with concern. "Megan…" She held her hand up and continued to look at the floor. Malik closed his eyes and ate his food in silence. The last thing he could remember was Megan crawling onto her stomach to sleep for the night, and the moon beams making her body glow.
During the night the rain had began to drench the ground. The sun didn't rise in the morning, and thunder rolled across the dark skies.
Malik pushed himself up off the chair that he moved to sometime during the night. He watched the figure in the couch sleep peacefully. That's not going to last too long, my Princess…
Flashback
"Malik where are you!"
He sighed when he heard the soft voice of the princess, her tune light and loving for him. He hid under the bush waiting for her to run along him, so he could grab her and surprise her.
"Malik…" She laughed lightheartedly as she fell next to the man on the ground, "There you are Malik…my Malik" She kissed him lightly. Her hands ran over his skin, her eyes deeply looking into his own, she loved this man, and always will, he was her guard by chance.
"I have been waiting for you my Princess." His lips pressed against hers as he ran his hands over her body, "I have missed you."
"It has been a long day, Malik." She sighed deeply as she laid her head in his lap, her body wrapped around by his arms.
"I am here for your protection, Princess" He smiled and kissed her lightly again.
Her body was warm against his, her heart beating quickly as his hands ran over her. Oh did he love her, and wanted her with all his body and heart.
He kissed her deeply and cradled her in his arms as picked her up and carried her into the palace.
"Where are we going?" She smiled and winked at him cuddling to his Egyptian cottons.
Pushing her chamber door open he carried her to her bed and placed her on her back, planting kisses along her body. She moaned his name slightly as his mouth moved over hers, and her hands moving over his own body.
She smiled and cooed him as he undressed her slender figure, his mouth caressing over every inch of her.
She had begged for this, she had wanted it, and he was ready for it. He had waited, wanted to know that she will always love him, even after death, even in the lives to come.
He had held her tightly as he sunk himself into her, a tear sliding down her cheek…
End of flashback
Malik sighed deeply, his eyes brimmed with tears…even the lives after death…he twisted himself out of the chair and walked around the room silently.
"Yugi…" Whispering trying not to awake Megan, Malik searched for his friend. Stumbling across a rolled up cloth on the floor he realized it was his friend he had just stumbled over. "Ra…"
Malik starred at Megan, his eyes soar from the sight of her, his heart torn apart. She doesn't remember our love, nor does her heart wish to.
Malik left a note before walking out of the door and down the street.
Yugi,
I went to the corner store for a pack. I'm out. Make sure the girl gets something to eat. I'll be back later.
Malik
"Isis, where are you, Isis!" I ran across a field of flowers and sand, the wind blowing my hair everywhere and my dress made of the finest silks.
"Princess Mara, I am here." A tall woman with deep colored hair stood in front of me, her face so warm and gentle, and her mouth curved in a friendly smile.
"Oh Isis!" I smiled and ran into her arms into an embracing hug.
"What's the matter child?" She looked at me as she pulled me close to listen.
"I am in love!" I smiled and hugged the woman close to me.
"I see, would this man be a guard of your chambers?" She smiled and winked with excitement.
"Oh yes, Isis!" I smiled and blushed as I thought of the events that just happened in my chambers.
"You are now a woman, Princess Mara…" Isis smiled as she drew her hand over my stomach. Her mouth wiggled into a smile, "My dear, you are sure no longer a child. You shall come to me again later this week, and perhaps I may have great news, or perhaps not so great." She smiled and pressed her hand to my stomach again.
"You are not serious?" I looked at her with concern, "I am not wed though."
"If this were meant to be, Princess, it was meant to be by the Gods."
End of flashback
Megan sat up quickly in the couch that she had fallen asleep on. The door had just been shut, and she had caught sight of Malik leaving the building. She sighed deeply and led herself to the bathroom.
