The sixth chapter of Blood in the Sands of Time is now underway! Stafon and Seto are now targeting more victims. Who will they be? Read on and find out. Also, I dedicate this chapter to kilnorc and Dragon's-Maidens for their support throughout the story so far. (hugs) Thank you so much! (tosses out candy and plush dolls of the characters)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and my OC. Thank you.
"So, who shall we murder next?" Stafon asked, the night sky blossoming with stars. "I was thinking of Isis, and Atemu's friend, Mana."
"Perhaps, Stafon," Seto whispered, his diamond blue eyes reflecting the moonlight. "We will just have to wait until the morning light of Ra shines upon us." Stafon nodded, and they walked away from the palace, chuckling.
The next morning…
The beautiful light of Ra descended onto the kingdom, seeming to smile down at the palace of Pharaoh Atemu. Kairma awakened in her human form, still curled up like a wolf. Her yellow eyes darted around the room as Isis walked in, smiling.
"Good morning, Kairma," she whispered, her eyes red from crying.
"You miss Mahad, don't you?" Kairma asked, and Isis nodded gloomily. "I understand your pain, Isis. I still cannot believe that Seto blamed me for murdering him, when in life, I did not."
"Seto's heart is not in the right place as of now," Isis replied, placing a finger onto the Millennium Necklace. "I saw it with the Millennium Necklace. It seems that he is somehow turning against us, and blaming you for some things that you have not done." Kairma looked away, which meant for Isis to leave her be. Bowing, the guardian walked out of the room. Just as soon as she had walked out, a figure grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth to keep her from screaming. The figure held up a dagger up to her throat in a threatening sort of way.
"Make one sound, and your throat gets cut," the figure whispered in a deafening tone, carrying the female guardian off.
In a secret prison, far away from the palace…
"Did you capture them?" Seto whispered, the figure lowering its hood to reveal Stafon. He nodded to his master. "Excellent, my servant." He then walked over to a cell, which held Isis, and a young girl with brown hair and grey-blue eyes.
"Now then," Seto pondered to the two females. "How should I kill you? Should I do it quickly, or should you die a slow and painful death? Your choice." Mana just looked up into the man's eyes, and sobbed quietly.
"I chose slow and painful," Stafon laughed, pulling out a large knife, grinning evilly. All that could be heard from Isis was a scream, and then silence. Mana remained still alive, but cringing in fear. Stafon was about to kill her, but Seto held him back.
"Let her go," he whispered, smiling wickedly. "Let us see if Atemu believes her if I am controlling her with my Millennium Rod!" The golden rod glowed, and Mana appeared as though she was in a trance. "Now then, go back to the palace. I shall do the rest." Mana obeyed, as if though on puppet strings, and walked out of the prison. Isis's body lay on the floor, surrounded by her blood, and many stab wounds all over her body.
Oh, dear. Mana is in Seto's control! What will happen and how will Atemu react to this? Find out in chapter 7, Mana's Fake Confession.
