Forever in Darkness: What lies in the sands of time
Teanna slept soundly next to her husband Atemu one hot summer night.
Her nightmares reflected the rough time Egypt had been going through and even the strain she was beginning to feel on her marriage.
She woke with a start to a loud sound out in the hall.
Quickly throwing her dress back on she entered the darkened hallway only to be faced with the sennen rod.
She stared through the darkness and saw Set's evil smirk.
He backed her up against the wall, muffling her screams with a kiss and caught her as she fell.
He replaced the item in his belt and picked her up, carrying her through the halls, into the underground tunnle and into karnack.
She opened her eyes slowly.
He was carrying her somewhere and the torches on the wall were blurred from the pace.
She found that she couldn't move or speak.
They entered a dark room and she was set on a cold stone alter.
Set stood over her and gently smoothed out her hair as he stared into her eyes.
"They're not an exact match but they're still as beautiful. By spilling your blood on this alter, I will bring my beloved dragon to life once again."
He pulled the sennen rod up to her view and pulled away the covering from the dagger at the end.
Suddenly a white blur dove on top of him and pulled him towards two other men.
"Mark my words! I will have my dragon again! She will live!"
As he was dragged off down the hall, torches lit on the walls and she was able to sit up.
Where had the third man gone?
She didn't see anyone...she was alone.
Suddenly she screamed as arms wrapped themselves around her.
As she was lifted up she saw that the man had been the thief king Bakura.
He carried her out of the temple, into the bright moonlight.
Half way across the desert he set her down.
"You have two choices my queen…I can take you back to the palace where you will live out your days in your husbands shadow…or,"
He paused brushing her hair behind her ears.
"You can stay with me and be treated like a goddess."
She looked away for a moment.
Atemu had taken a second wife and was spending all the time with her.
She hated to admit it but she was falling out of love with the king as his power grew.
He stared down into her face and kissed her, knowing her answer.
"I'll make you wish you'd never laid eyes on him. I promise that eventually you will fall in love with me."
She smiled slightly.
"I already have. I've been watching you by day. I have long since found your hiding place at the back wall and your vantage point right above the guards heads. Take me into another life!"
He smirked and kissed her roughly before picking her up again.
He held out his staff and slammed it into the ground.
She screamed as they fell through stone doors that closed behind them and landed softly below.
He carried her in a dimly lit room and placed her on soft pillows as he knelt next to her.
"Prepare to forget that you were ever the wife of the pharaoh."
She smiled up at him softly.
"Only because I'm now your queen of thieves."
a/n: and now for a hint at a possible sequel. Tell me what you think k!
Anzu stared in shock at both men who knelt before her with two rings. Ryou's was visibly larger than Bakura's, but Bakura's was ancient…literally. One year…it had taken them only one year to decide they wanted to marry her. Now the problem was, which would she marry and which would be her conubine?
