Okay, okay. I know I fucked up when I lost my chapters, but guess what? I found them! After I cleaned my room, I discovered them in a long lost folder under my bed. So here is Chapter 11, the original one, and chapter 12 after that. So, the previous chapter 11, ignore it, or read it if you like. But I am going to stick along with the original one. Here it is! Sorry it took so long…don't hate me! ;-; I luff you!
Chapter 11-
Crystal's POV-
He walked towards me slowly as I stared up at him through fearful eyes. He tied my wrists together as well as my ankles. He stepped before me and knelt down on his knees. He reached out his hand and pulled the gag out of my mouth.
"What do you want with me? I asked glaring towards the hooded figure.
"Nothing more than to claim what is mine."
"What are you talking about? Who are you?"
"Always demanding answers, just like your father."
"Who are you!"
"My son should have been Pharaoh, not your father. Curse my brother for producing a male heir. And you, if he hadn't had you, Seto would have been next in line."
'Seto? Seto was the teenage guy in my science class that owns his own company. But how could he…unless he had an Egyptian past too!'
Wham! I fell towards onto the ground with my vision blurred until I finally passed out.
Back to the Shadow Realm-
Yami ran his hand over an invisible wall thinking absent mindedly to himself.
Bakura sat on the ground playing solitaire silently.
Yami sighed seeing that Bakura wasn't much company, but what company was their in an enemy? He hated Bakura. He hated thieves but what bothered him more was that he loved Chris. But a thief couldn't be that bad if he loved someone, could he? No. He didn't love her, he is using her to take him down.
"Your thinking is bothering the spirits."
Yami glanced at Bakura. "Whatever, bastard"
Bakura just shrugged at Yami's attempt to provoke him. "So, have you figured out how you are going to get out of here?"
"Incase you can't count, there are two of us in here."
"I'm able to get out any time I wish. The question is, how are you going to escape?"
"Stop toying with me, Bakura."
"I'm not toying."
"Then why don't you leave?"
"Because if I left and you were here alone with no way of getting out, Chris would get pissed at me."
"Then get us out of here."
"Why should I? I'm fine and content in the shadows. I spent a lot of time being alone. More than a lifetime. It doesn't bother me," answered Bakura coolly.
"That's another thing I hate about you." Bakura shifted his gaze up to Yami. "You always bring others down when something bad happened to you. You bring people down. I don't need you to bring Chris down."
"Bleh. That's the most pathetic thing I ever heard."
"No it's not! She enjoys life Bakura! She doesn't like living in a world of depression and regret. She is lighthearted and spirited. You will only make her life miserable!" Yami screamed as his voice echoed throughout the Shadow Realm.
"Then why does she love me?" Bakura asked quietly.
"I…I don't know!"
Bakura looked up at Yami then narrowed his eyes. "All your life you have been pampered. Things were done for you, not by you. I bet you never did anything by yourself. I lived doing everything myself. I lived the hard way, never depending on anyone's help. The people of my city lived in poverty while you had all the riches. Little children as well as the old starved while you ate so much you could explode. Perhaps your daughter fell in love with a thief because he lived a life of risks and chances. She didn't want to live in enclosed walls with her father, she wanted to live freely outside the palace walls."
"I…I never knew…"
"You wouldn't, would you?"
Yami shook his head.
"Sure there is the opportunity to get to you through her, but my heart told me differently. Yes, I have a heart. If I didn't I wouldn't have stole food and treasures for my village. Now think twice before you judge someone, Pharaoh." Bakura twitched his head upwards. "Chris is in trouble. She needs help."
"How do you know?"
Bakura lowered his head to look at Yami. "I'm a thief, remember? I know these instincts."
Yami nodded his head as the Shadow Realm around them seemed to dematerialize.
Ryou's POV-
Ryou stared blankly at the TV set as smoke poured out from the kitchen.
"What are you doing in there Malik?" asked Yugi curiously.
"Um…just cooking!"
"Really? I thought you were trying to catch the house on fire!"
"Very funny Yugi, really."
Yugi laughed while Ryou's expression didn't change.
"Ryou, the world isn't going to end."
Marik materialized beside Malik. "Bakura knows his way out of the Shadow Realm. When he comes back so will Yami and we can all go find Chris. Everything will be alright Ryou." Marik walked over and gave Ryou a tight hug. "I promise, my white haired angel." He pressed his lips against Ryou's cheek but didn't gain a response.
"Yamis will be yamis, Ryou. You can't predict what will happen next," said Yugi.
"Yeah. One minute they're missing, the next they're back and ready to do anything."
The group turned their heads to see Bakura and Yami standing in the doorway. Ryou's eyes widen as he and Yugi ran to their yamis.
"I thought you were never coming back!"
"Didn't Marik tell you? I can get my way back here in a second."
"Then why didn't you?"
"I…had to take care of some business first. Get things straighten out."
"So where is Chris? Does anyone have a clue?" asked Yami.
"Not at all, but I have a feeling they want something more than to kidnap her," answered Marik.
"Why do you say that?"
"The only reason someone would want to take her is if they know about us."
"Oh no…"
Chris' POV-
The candle beside me dwindled down to a small flame, as the food next to me grew cold. 'What did I do to deserve this?' I glanced around the walls and read the sacred markings on them. I read about sex priests; Mahaado, Shada, Karim, Isis, Akunakin, and Seto along with their pharaoh, Pharaoh Atemu. Mahaado! Why was his name up there? Same with Seto's! But…who is Atemu? I heard footsteps as the man approached. But it wasn't my captor, it was the man that intruded in on my in the shower before. His footsteps were quite silent as a large key lay rested around his neck. His eyes were navy blue with a turban wrapped on his head. I backed up against the wall as he walked up to me, staring down at me.
"What do you want? You aren't here to hurt me too, are you?"
He bent down on one knee reached out to my hands and untied the ropes. "I am not here to hurt you, child. I am a servant of your father. I'm here to save you but we must be quick and silent."
I nodded my head as the key around his neck began to glow and everything around us turned dim and faint.
"What did you do?"
"We will be walking through the Shadow Realm as to not get caught by your kidnapper." His voice was smooth with an Egyptian accent.
"Oh. So we are going back to my father?"
"No. There are things I have to tell you."
"Like what?" I asked him curiously.
"Your father's name isn't Yami."
I stopped in my tracks and stared at him. "Then what is his name?"
"You already know it." He answered softly.
"I…" I paused. "Atemu?"
Shadi nodded his head.
Well, that was interesting! Chapter 11, the real one, finally here for you! And next, Chapter 12!
