A rose once fallen, a rose now free.

"Please, let me handle this, Pharaoh." Spoke Sahara as she walked in front of the Pharaoh, a soft smile on cerved on her lips as she looked at the thief.

"Sahara...." Whispered the Pharaoh. She merely looked at him with the same soft smile.

"Trust me...."

He shut up.

Sahara walked over to the thief unafraid and kneeled down to his height which the guards set. Her eyes glowed for a moment as she stared into his eyes, she gasped and stood. she stumbled back frightfully.

The Pharaoh was off the Throne in seconds as she fell backward, he caught her before she could hit the ground. "Sahara!" He stared at her closed eyes.

"Atem.....T-the shadow creature.....It's too p-powerful...." She passed out in his arms.

He growled angrily. "Take the Thief to the doungon!" When they didn't move fast enough, he shouted. "NOW!" And they speeded up!

When Sahara awoke, she was in a strange, unfamiliar bedchamber. She rubbed her head. "Hnh....where am I?" She asked herself softly. She was lying on a bed, which was huge. "I don't know this place.....Where am I?.....

Suddenly, she was knocked out from behind. She blacked out again.

She awoke, but not in a bed. It was moving, like it had wells. She rubbed her head AGAIN. "Now where am I?"

"You're on your way to your new home." Said a cloaked figure on a horse beside the wagon.

Wait....She knew that voice. "Atem?"

He looked at her. "Yes?" His voice was firm, which shocked her.

"Atem," she sat up. "Why are you acting so strange? What have I done?"

He turned away, shaking his head. "You already know the answer, betrayer."

"What! Never! I would never betray you, Atem! I love you!"

"More lies, betrayer. Your word speaks nothing but a lie"

"I've done nothing wrong, Atem!"

"More lies are not going to help you, betrayer!"

"Why do you not call me Sahara? Atem, answer me!"

"No, that answer can never be spoken."

"What?! I do not understand! Tell me what I've done?!"

He finally looked at her. "You betrayed me....You've betrayed Egypt itself!"

She gave him a confused look. "What? How in Ra's name did I do that?! Since when is being in love with the Pharaoh a crime?"

"That is your lie, betrayer...... Speak your last words, for we're not to speak again."

Tears welled in her eyes. "Atem..... I love you, those are my last words to you......." She sank and cried as he pulled his horse away from the wagon.

~*End of rememorys*~

"...and then my spirit awoke here...." She told the last of her story. Wiping tears from her eyes, Yugi watching her.

"I didn't know you were so upset, I mean...eariler....you were all.....yeah."

She chuckled a little. "You can't judge a book by its cover, Yugi."

He smiled. "You called me Yugi, not Atem....."

She sighed. "Yeah, I suppose I was wrong. You can leave when ever you want," she stood and walked to the door.

"Come with me..." He whispered.

She turned to him with a gasp. "G-go outside? Outside the mantion gate?....Yugi, I'm not allowed. Only the Pharaoh can free me."

He stood. "Well, I kinda am his reincarnation. So come on. You won't be lonly anymore, you can live with me and my grandfather. And you can make friends, live normal."

She shook her head. "Yugi, I'm not of this time. I don't belong here...I'm suppose to be in the afterlife, not in the moddern day."

He sighed. "I guess you're right, but you can still go out."

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go 'out', as you put it. But look at me, I'm dressed deferently, I won't fit in."

He smiled and grabbed her hand. "Just come with me, I'll help you find something." He, without waiting for her reply, dragged her out of the room.

"But Yugi! If this doesn't work, and I go threw those Gates. I'll turn to dust!"

"You'll be fine!" He dragged her into the main room then towards the door.

"Yugi! I can't! I'm afraid to go!" She pulled back from his hold on her hand, he was about to lead her outside the door. "If I turn to dust....My soul will wander this world forever, I'll never pass on."

He merely smiled and took her shaking hands. "You'll be fine, Sahara. Just come with me...."

She hastitated still. "But Yugi........"

"I won't take no for an answer."

She sighed. "Fine, but if I turn to dust. You're the first one I'am comin after!"

He laughed. "Fine by me!"

When he led her outside, all she could see in the sky were dark clouds.

He looked up at what she was looking at. "When we're outside the gate, you can see the stars, Sahara...." He told her softly. She looked down at him, she couldn't remember what stars looked like. "I haven't seen the stars in so long, Yugi. This has to work."

He grinned. "It will," he led her to the gate. "Ready to go out?"

She took a deep, steady, breathing and nodded. Her hand still connected to Yugis as he opened the gate and stepped out.

He turned to her and reached his other hand out for her to take. She swallowed and took his offered hand, closing her eyes tightly shut as he slowly pulled her out of the misty land of the mantion and into the sidewalk.

She held her breath, prepared to be turned into sand. But nothing happened.

She opened one eye and looked around, everything was deferent now. Nothing like inside the mantion gates.......

"Yugi.....This is you're world?" She asked, both of her crimson eyes open now. He grinned and nodded. "Yep." He yawned. "Come on, you can stay at my house tonight. I'm sure Grandpa's worried about me...."

She nodded.

He was about to led her away from the mantion but she stood firm. "Yugi, I don't know. I haven't told you everything yet......" Her eyes were hidden from his view.

"What? You can't sleep, you can't eat? Rules? Tell me...."

"Yugi, the legend of the Vampire Mistress.....Part of it is true," she looked at him, her eyes a bright crimson. "I am a vampire....."

Yugi froze with fear. "W-what.....?"

"I'm a vampire, Yugi. I can't servive like you....But I can go out into the sun.... Don't be afraid of me....."

He swallowed. "I...uh....lets go..." He said, looking passed her.

She looked confusedly at him. "Wait....What? I just told you I was a vampire and still you consider me a trustworthy friend?" She sighed,

Yugi shook like crazy, looking at something behind Sahara. He pointed a shaking finger at it. "S-S-Sahara.....W-we s-s-should g-go....l-like n-now!" His voice even shook.

Her eyebrow rose and she turned to what Yugi pointed at.

She screamed when she saw it. "Yugi! Run!"

He didn't hasitate to do as he was told. "Wait....Sahara!" He turned back to her and screamed. Sahara wasn't a humen anymore, but had wings like a bat and was flying.

Attack the large shadow.

It hit her across the face and she flew backward, landing hard on the ground. She whimpered but managed to stand up again. She no longer wore her Egyptian dress, but leather? A crimson red tanktop with a few wholes cut out, underneth was a black cover. Her pants were a mixture of red and black, and her feet were bare.

"What the...? Where'd this clothing come from?" She asked.

"No time to answer that, lets go!" Yugi grabbed her hand and pulled her with him as he ran.

They ran behind an allyway, both trying to catch their breath.

"What was that thing?" He asked after he'd caught his breath.

"I think it was a Diabound."

"Diabound?"

"Yeah, it was owned by the thief King back in Egypt. but why would it be here?"

"Lets not stay to find out. Come on, I want to go home."

She nodded and they went out of the ally and Yugi looked for a place to call a cab.

End of chapter three.
