Chapter 15
Facing Fears
Friday Night
Duelists Kingdom
"Tea are you sure this is a good idea?" Asked Tom. Tea woke up Tom and Serenity. She asked if they remember everything from the cave and they both admitted that they did. She explained to them what she had to go face Atem. Serenity didn't like the plan, but she later thought it was the only way to rescue the others. Tom just hated the plan. Tea had to explain to Tom that it was her destiny and maybe the only way to rescue their friends. "Yes I'm sure about this Tom." Answer Tea. "Tea maybe you should rethink this whole thing." Said Tom. "Tom, Tea is right about this." Said Serenity. Tom looks at Serenity with sadness in his eyes. "I can't run away like I did before Tom." Said Tea. Tom looks back at Tea with sadness. "And besides I'll be fine." Answer Tea. "I'm coming." Said Tom. "So am I." Said Serenity. "I need you guys to stay hidden until the time is right." Said Tea. She looks down at the ground. Tom and Serenity both gasp. "Are you crazy! STAY HERE! Tea that pharaoh has tried to get rid of you." Said Tom. He crosses his arms. Tea looks up into Tom's eyes. "Listen you guys I don't want anymore of my friends being capture and besides I'm not going to surrender without a fight." Said Tea. She gave a small smile. "I promise you two I'll be back with our friends." Said Tea. Serenity looks up at Tea. "You promise?" Asked Serenity. "I promise. Just stay here and hidden and don't come near the castle." Said Tea. Tom looks down at the ground. Serenity gently nods.
Pegasus's Castle
Atem, his priests (except Mahad), Simon, Pegasus, Bakura, Merick, and Odion sat at a round table eating a small bit of a meal."So Tea is alright?" Asked Merick. "Yeah and from what I heard from Isis. She's coming here." Said Atem. "So the little girl has finally have given up." Said Pegasus. "Do you think she has finally given up?" Asked Bakura. "Of course. Her friends are in danger and she just can't runaway anymore." Answer Pegasus. He crosses his arms. "We just won." Said Pegasus. Atem put a hand to his chin. I'm not to sure about that. I've known Tea for a while and from what I learn she has never surrender. Thought Atem. "Isis do you see Tea surrendering?" Asked Merick. Isis shrug her shoulders. "To be honest I'm not sure. I see her coming and the rest of vision is hard to figure out." Answer Isis.
Duelists Kingdom
Tea walks towards the castle. She feels her heart beating hard. She reminds herself to take deep breaths. I'm almost there. Thought Tea. She sees the entrance to the castle. Ok I found it know it's time to face pharaoh. Thought Tea. She all of sudden feel someone touch her shoulder from behind. Tea jumps and turns around and spots Tom. "Tom." Said Tea. "What…what are you doing here and why aren't you with Serenity?" Asked Tea. "Tea, I just don't want to see you hurt or capture." Said Tom. "Tom I'll be fine and you should keep an eye on Serenity." Said Tea. "Does she know where you are?" Asked Tea. "Yeah I told her I would follow you and wish you luck. She told me to tell you good luck." Said Tom. Tea smiles at Tom. "Thanks Tom." Said Tea. Tea turns around to face the castle. "I better get going." Said Tea. "Tea." Said Tom. "Yes." Said Tea. Tom takes a deep breath. "I want to tell you something that just can't wait." Said Tom. Tea turns to face Tom. "Well what is it?" Asked Tea. "I really like you a lot. I mea…even more…than just friends." Said Tom. Tea was shock by what he said to her. Tom moves towards Tea and kisses Tea on the lips. Tom puts his hands behind Tea's back. He likes me. I'm not sure I feel the same, but has been there for me. Thought Tea. Tea puts her hands behind his neck and returns the kiss. Why do I feel like I'm betraying someone? Thought Tea. She shook the thought away. Tom and Tea finally part away. "I better go and keep an eye on Serenity." Said Tom. Tea nods at him. "Ri…right I better go in and face pharaoh." Said Tea. Tom turns around and walks back to where Serenity is. Tea watches him go. She turns around and heads to the castle.
Pegasus's Castle
One of the guards came in the room where everyone sat and ate their meal. "Master Pegasus. The girl is here." Said the guard. Pegasus smiles at the guard and then turns to his guests. "You see the girl has finally given up." Said Pegasus. "Should I bring her in?" Asked the guard. "Yes please go on and bring her in." Said Pegasus. The guard disappears in one minute and the next minute the guard brought Tea in. Tea looks down at the ground and then up at the group of people. Atem gets up and comes near Tea. Tea glares at Atem. Atem knew from that glare not to even touch her. "We are glad you can join us Tea. Why don't you get yourself something to eat. You must be tired and hungry too." Said Pegasus. Tea shook her head. "If you all think I came here to surrender then you are deadly mistaken." Said Tea. Everyone was shock by her words. "I don't get it if you didn't come to surrender then why are you here?" Asked Odion. "I came to fight for my friends freedom and also an important message for the pharaoh." Said Tea. She never look at Atem. Pharaoh. Before she would never call me that, but something has change. Something in her has change. Thought Atem. "Little girl you are incapable of making threats right now." Said Pegasus. "I'm not making threats I came here to free the people you capture and also to duel." Said Tea. She crosses her arms. "Duel. Duel me." Said Atem. Tea finally turns to Atem. "Yes duel you unless you're scare." Said Tea. I've seen her duel against Joey and Mai. She is still kind of a beginner. Thought Tea. Merick was about to say something, but was interrupted. "I accept your challenge Tea." Said Atem. "Then it's settle." Said Tea. "Yes I guess it's settle." Said Atem
