Chapter 1
She ran blindly. She didn't care where she was going. Anywhere were he was not was good for her. She hadn't seen anyone that is until she ran into a boy…
"Watch it!" He shouted.
She glared up at him. "I'd watch your tongue peasant." She spat.
"Or what?" The boy asked, mockingly. She was about to snap back at him but remembered she couldn't give herself away.
"Or…I'll hurt you." She tried. The boy stood there for a moment before throwing his head back and laughing.
"You hurt me? I'd like to see that!" As the strange boy laughed, the girl got a good look at him; he had white hair and dagger brown eyes. He's skin was pail, which was strange for an Egyptian, and he wore black, thigh length trousers and a snug fitting black top with a sword belt strapped to the waist and a sack. 'A thief!' she thought, thinking back to what her uncle had told her, a thief dressed the way this boy did. "And how are you going to hurt me? Pray tell?"
"I could hand you to the guards, thief." She picked herself up, smiling at the scowl on the boy's face.
"And how could you? I could easily say that you're the thief."
She frowned, he wasn't entirely right, but she wasn't about to correct him. "Okay you got me there, it was nice to meet you…I guess, but I have to go." She tried to step around him but the boy stopped her.
"And where would you be going?"
"Anywhere that isn't here."
He looked her up and down taking her in, her perfectly tanned skin, her strange hair, black with crimson tips and gold bangs and streaks, and of course her most strangest alluring thing, her eyes, they were literally like diamonds, white, sparkly and the same pattern of colours when the light caught them, perfection.
"You know, you would make a good distraction…"
"Are you implying I join you, and become a thief?" She asked, should she? If her father found out…maybe she should.
"Of course." The white haired boy smirked.
"Alright…I'm Amber-Lee, but most people call me Al." The boy pulled her along to an ally way.
"I'm Bakura, King of Thieves." Amber-Lee stopped.
"You're the King of Thieves? But you're just a boy!"
Bakura frowned. "I'm older than you."
"Yes, but your still young…aren't thieves supposed to be older?" he crossed his arms and frowned.
"I didn't have a choice." His eyes dulled at the thought, and Amber-Lee felt guilty.
"Well, if I am to be a thief, I can not possible wear this." She indicated to her dress, it was made of expensive black silk, exported from a neighbouring kingdom, it was trimmed with gold and she also wore gold cuffs on her ankles and on her upper arms, gold earrings, and a golden phoenix necklace with rubies for eyes.
"Yes we'll have to get you proper thief clothes." Amber-Lee nodded, removing her necklace, bracelets and earrings.
"I'll take those." He offered, holding out his hands. She scowled.
"As long as you do not sell them." She handed over the jewels.
"Ok." He agreed, rolling his eyes. He dropped the jewels in his bag and looked back at her. She was rather short, about half a head shorter than he was.
"How old are you?" he asked.
"Six, you?"
"Eight."
10 YEARS LATER:
Amber-Lee stood on the large boulder near the hid-out she sheared with Bakura. She was dressed in a silk black skirt, high thigh with two slits up either side, a tight black top that was strapless and ended at her ribs, her stomach was visible, still perfectly tanned, she also had a sword belt and a long black cloak. Her hair was still the same, as were her eyes. She was staring at the starry black sky.
"What are you looking at?" came a cold voice from behind her.
"Nothing really." She answered, unmoving as Bakura stood by her side.
"There's a small kingdom up North, their not very rich, but their in contact with the Pharaoh, they may have something worth stealing…"
Amber-Lee turned to look at him. "If their connected to the Pharaoh, wouldn't they had some Egyptian guards, and if it's small then it'll be hard to slip in."
"No, they give their best guards to The Pharaoh, the leader is…well old." He smirked.
"So we're stealing from an old man's pathetic kingdom? By Ra we're desperate." She smirked also.
"Well there isn't much to steal anymore, unless you want to steal from the Pharaoh?" Amber-Lee frowned. "Thought so, well let's get going." He jumped down from the rock, Amber-Lee following.
"We're leaving now?"
"No time like the present, ne?" she rolled her diamond orbs, following Bakura to their stolen camels. Amber-Lee ran her hands over her camel's neck; she climbed onto its back and grabbed the reigns.
"So how far?" She asked.
"About a day's travel."
Amber-Lee nodded and ushered her camel forwards. They travelled in slants until…
"Who's that?" Amber-Lee asked the man was dressed as a messenger, with dark purple slacks and vest; he rode a chestnut horse and seemed to be heading from where they were going.
"A messenger…wonders what the message says." Bakura smirked at Amber-Lee. He pulled a spear from his travel bag, and with careful aiming, threw it at the unsuspecting man, making him fall from his mounts back, in a pool of blood.
"Good shot." Amber-Lee complemented, making her camel ride up to the now dead man. She dismounted with Bakura right behind her and bent over the man.
"Hey look." Bakura pulled out a scroll. Amber-Lee unrolled and it read it allowed.
Great Pharaoh,
Bakura snorted.
Since we have little to give you for the rice, oils and food you send us, we give you, if you wish to accept, our one heir as your spouse. We will send him to you in three sunrises.
Yours sincerely,
King Sugoroku.
"Their giving the Pharaoh their heir?" Amber-Lee asked.
"Well that's our luck isn't it?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The letter said they have nothing valuable but their heir, so we have nothing to steal!"
"We could steal the heir." Amber-Lee joked. Bakura smirked. "Bakura?" Amber-Lee asked uncertainty. But all Bakura did was smirk and climb onto his mounts back. "Bakura, your not really going to kidnap their heir are you?" She asked uncertainly, also climbing onto her camel.
"Now why would I do something like that?" he asked in mock heart.
"Maybe because you're a cruel, heartless tomb robber." She smirked.
He pretended to think. "Hmm that could be it."
They rode on, leaving the dead messenger behind, the note tucked in Amber-Lee's pocket.
