Hi! I am back once again to terrorize fanfic dot net, and maybe to scare a few people. If I told you I was a vampire would you be scared? Just wondering… (Bares fangs) Anyway, this chapter is going to be angsty, or at least hopefully! Um, yeah…so, read on, my victims! Oh, sorry, I mean, 'my readers'…
Disclaimer: Do you see me as rich and famous? No? Then the answer is pretty clear.
Sami Ishtar stared at the sleeping face of Akefia, watching his chest rise and fall as he breathed in and out; in a rhythmic way that made her want to fall asleep herself. Glancing at the bandages, she saw that they needed changing, so she ripped off more material from her sleeves, and set to work to tie new ones on his arm. She noticed Akefia was beginning to stir, and backed away in fear. Akefia opened one eye, and then the other, glancing around the cave to search for her. Having found her looking fearfully at him from the other side of the wall, he smirked, and stood up to walk over to her. For some reason though, he couldn't walk properly. Akefia looked down and saw his leg bruised from where he had been launched against the wall. He growled. "Get over here!" he snapped at Sami.
She considered whether to stay over at the other side of the cave where it was safe, or go and tend to the darkness that had taken over her beloved Ryou. 'It's still Ryou in there, somewhere he is trapped in there; I can't abandon him…' she thought, determined. Slowly, and with much care, she stepped towards Akefia, glaring at him, with a mixture of apprehension and confusion in her eyes. "You, my little hostage, come over here and help me get up!" Akefia's voice was sharp, and echoed through the cave, as Sami wondered if he was going to hurt her or not. But he'd sounded genuine…
"I'm not waiting all day, hostage!" Akefia growled at her, annoyed and impatient. Rolling her eyes, Sami made her way around the cave. She kneeled down by Akefia, and asked him what she could do for him. "I need you to help me get out of this Ra-damned cave; I'm filthy and I'll freeze to death eventually if we don't get a proper place to stay…as will your beloved little Ryou!" Sami narrowed her eyes; how dare he use Ryou like a pawn to get her to do things for him! It was an outrage to Ryou; wherever he was at that moment. She pressed her lips tightly together, and clenched her fists, but nodded her head all the same.
And so it was that she left the cave, searching through the forest for an exit. Eventually, she reached the exit of the forest, and ran back to the hospital. 'I hope my car is still there!' she thought, looking around for it. And eventually she found her car; a black convertible with red seats. Getting out her keys, she started it and drove back to Domino National Forest, parking, and re-tracing her steps back to the cave, where Akefia was waiting for her. "Ra damn it, what took you so long, hostage!" he yelled at her. Sami gritted her teeth. "My name is Sami, not hostage; got that?" she hissed at him. Akefia looked somewhat amused that this girl would dare to correct him, or speak to him in such a manner.
Which is probably why, when Sami bent down to check his wounds, he pulled her to the ground and rested his knee on her stomach. "Now, when you talk to me like that you will get punished. Here's a little taste of what will happen if I decide to punish you!" and with that he raised his fist and sent it smashing into her ribs. "Next time I wont be so gentle with you!" he fumed. Sami grimaced in pain, feeling the first traces of a bruise forming on her side. Akefia looked at her with a satisfied expression on his face. He then fell upon the ground, clutching his side. Sami instantly jumped up, despite her pain, and pulled him up to his feet.
"Look, are you alright?" She asked, worry lining her face. Akefia gazed suspiciously at her, but then thought nothing more of it. I'm fine," he answered, "Now are we getting out of here or what?" Sami sighed; she hadn't really been expecting anything else, but still. She grabbed Akefia by the hand and led him back through the forest, to her car waiting in the car park on the border of the foliage. Akefia looked strangely at it. "What, have you never seen a car before?" asked Sami, wondering why he was looking at her car as if it were an alien from outer space. Akefia shook his head, still looking at the car. She eyed him in disbelief, and then shrugged it off, showing him how to get in.
They drove for around half an hour until the car finally pulled in at Sami's house. "This is where I live. You don't have to worry about my father being here because I live here alone. It was all paid for by the museum my Aunt Ishizu runs. Do you want me to show you around or just take you to your room?" she waited for Akefia to answer. "My room thanks," muttered Akefia. She led him to a room draped in black and gold satin, with hieroglyphs lining the walls. There was also a huge stack of books lining the walls, mostly on Egyptology. Akefia picked one up and studied it. 'Massacres of Egypt: Kuru Eruna' read the title. He flipped through the pages, deciding to keep it to read later.
Sami glanced at the book he had picked up. "That's a really good book; it shows just how cruel some Pharaoh's were. I wonder how the people in that village must have felt to see their lives and homes torn apart like that…" she remembered how she had felt when she had read the book; it described ninety nine villagers being slaughtered, and sacrificed to make gold…how there had been one survivor, who had grown up to be the King of Thieves. Even though it had happened five millennia ago, she still wept when she read about it. Akefia was looking solemnly at her, waiting for Sami to snap out of whatever she was thinking about. When she didn't he got impatient and shoved her to the ground.
He elbowed her in the collarbone, and launched his foot into her stomach, winding her. Suddenly, the tables were turning, and Sami flipped him over with one leg, pinning him to the ground. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" She yelled angrily at him. Akefia didn't reply; he was too shocked to. Sami calmed down and stormed out of the room, muttering loudly about 'stupid shadows who think they can just beat the hell out of someone when they feel like it.' Ten minutes later, Akefia called her. "Hostage? Where the heck are you? I need you to…"
Well, I wonder what he wants from her. Okay, here is a question: Do you want a romance between Sami and Akefia? I really want to know how many of you would like that. Anyway, thanks:
Computerfreak101 –Yep, kill the wolf! You haven't read the Exorcist? I wouldn't recommend it; it is more for young adults than young teenagers and I have no idea why my school let me borrow it when I'm only thirteen; I was twelve when I borrowed it! It is really disturbing, but not scary. There are no romances at all in the Exorcist…unless Regan's possessed body and a crucifix counts as romance…Ew, no; the images in my head from that scene… Blood and gore wasn't in this chapter too much, but I will try and include some next chapter, with a murder or something, I don't know… Thanks for reviewing!
ttSerenity –For some reason I had a dream about Joey…or rather, I was Joey in the dream, running around somewhere looking for a bus stop…weird! I can't wait to read the story about your pen name! Thanks for reviewing, carpel tunnel syndrome.
Stormrose Dewleaf –Yes, very strange. Oh well; may Aurora and Yami Marik be joined together in harmonious massacre killings for all eternity. Thanks for reviewing!
Lil-inu –I am very glad you love it so much! I will certainly continue! Thanks a million for reviewing!
Love Sami.
