Ryou POV
I stare at the door where Bakura had just left. My silver ring mother had given me before she was sent away, had reacted to him. I smile to myself. Mother always told me that the magic that was in the ring would only react to a certain person. The one who was meant for me will make the ring turn crimson. And that had happened. I was scared to show it to him before, but now I knew it was true. We were meant to be together.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I jump at the sudden contact. I feel my cheeks burning as I turn around to see who it was and I was greeted with a smiling Isis.
I let out the breath I wasn't aware of holding and smile back.
"Come on, let's go! We don't have a lot of time." She grabs my hand and pulls me out of the house towards the stables.
I had my mare saddled and ready to go when Isis came up next to me with her own horse.
"Ready?" I nodded at her and mounted Shion and we were off.
By the time we reached the back gates, we were accompanied by the villagers who had told us that Bakura told them to run away. I was confused. Why would he tell them to run away? It wasn't like Bakura to say that. Unless something happened! I have to go back!
I turn Shion around but Marik rides up next to me and takes hold of the reins from me. I glare at him.
"Let go! Something's wrong!" I say to him hoping he will do as I say.
"I can not let you go. I made a promise to the thief that I would see you to safety!" Marik replies, still holding on to the reins. Malik was riding behind him and I look to him for help, but he just gives me a faint smile and shakes his head. There was nothing they could do. I look back at the village and hope that Bakura would make it out alright. No, he will make it!
We ride on for a few more moments when I hear footsteps behind us. For an elf I have excellent hearing. Better then a humans' hearing. I don't want to alert the people following us, but I tap Marik on the hand, which is still holding onto my reins by the way, and I point to my ear and then behind me. I hope he understands. I see his eyes grow wider for a second and then he nods. I sigh in relief.
It seems that Marik can issue orders without a voice. I watched fascinated as this happened. I had now sensed that the followers were surrounding us. I could tell Marik knew this too.
Suddenly five of them jumped out in front of us shouting orders to their companions. I was scared. Who were they? I looked over at Marik and saw that he had asked Malik to do something and he nodded. Malik was a good sneak. I could barely hear him; much less keep sight of him. While I was trying to keep him in my sight, Marik had grabbed hold of me and set me in front of him. I gave him a questioning look and he just shook his head. Isis had taken hold of Shion to calm her down.
"Halt! You will hand over Prince Ryou now or you shall face the same fate as the rest of you thieves in that village!" one of the guards in front of us shouted.
Eh? What happened in the village?? I turn around to look back where we came from and I saw smoke rising above the tree line. 'Smoke? Did they burn the village?! What of Bakura?' my mind was racing with many questions. I wanted to ask them all but Marik had put his hand over my mouth wishing me to be quiet.
Now we were surrounded by soldiers with their weapons pointed at everyone. We were completely encircled.
"We burned your village to the ground along with everyone inside! Now hand over the prince and you will be saved!" the same guard shouted.
"You killed everyone?!" came an angry voice among the people in the back. I couldn't help but be angry as well. Who do these guards think they are? Sure they were thieves, but most of them were innocent! I could feel my anger build up inside.
"You thieves are worthless in our kingdom! You bring nothing but chaos and malicious crimes! The kingdom will do better with out you around!" more comments were made like that through out the guard who surrounded us.
I tried to control myself, but couldn't. I just had to speak! How can they think that lives are worthless? Did father teach them this?! I can't take this anymore!
"How dare you speak like that!" I shout at the guards. "How dare you take innocent lives and for what? To save someone who doesn't wish to go back? Did it ever occur to you that I ran away because I wanted to! Who sent you? Was it my father? Or my brother, perhaps? Tell me now!" I struggle out of Marik's arms and hop to the ground. Everyone was staring at me as I strode towards the leader of the guards.
It took a moment, but the guard kneeled in front of me. "My prince! Thank the gods you are safe! We came to rescue you!"
"Rescue me? Don't make me laugh!" I glare at the leader of the guards. "Who sent you? Who gave the order for an attack? Who told you to kill them?" I was so blinded by my anger I didn't notice Marik had came up behind me.
"My prince, it was the King who sends us! He told us you were kidnapped by a gang of thieves! Did they hurt you?"
"I ran away, you idiot!" I nearly hit him, but I stop myself. I try to regain my calm, but this is too much. "What happened in the village? Was there another white haired guy like me? What happened to him?"
"We killed them all, my prince." Was the fierce reply. I stumbled backwards in shock.
"Oh gods. Please say it isn't true." I whisper to no one in particular. It can not be true. He promised to come back to me. In my despair I fall to my knees and I cover my face with my hands. He can't be dead! We had only just begun! Was fate this cruel? I felt the tears fall through my fingers. I couldn't make them stop. Everything around me became a blur.
