Destiny
No.07 -Run
Trailing behind Rebecca and the strange woman called Ishizu out of the bath chamber, Anzu thought quickly and began plotting any possible escape. However, nothing really seemed possible since she was, indeed, stuck in the heart of the deadly bandit tribe's fort. Plus, she was wearing something given by a bandit. Probably, stolen.
...Does this mean I have to give up and give in to these people?
She thought sadly.
Her steps slowed and her eyes began to water.
"You walk way too slow-!"
Blond child stopped and snapped at Anzu. Ishizu, too, stopped and starred down at Anzu. Anzu swallowed hard and decided to plead for the one last time.
I mean they are both girls, they must have some sympathy for me..?
"Please, have some sympathy. My parents both went missing and I lost my home and friends...and everything in just one day. And fate brought me here, the house of bandits."
There was an awkward pause for a minute. Then, Ishizu opened her mouth breaking the silence. Her face was hard to read since it was mostly covered with the long hempen hood but Anzu was sure Ishizu wasn't starring at her as coldly as before.
"That's a quite sad story. But we bandits all went through same or perhaps even worse situations than yours."
Still, her words were sharp. Anzu felt her heart freeze.
But she waited for Ishizu to say more with the slightest hope. And thankfully, Ishizu went on.
"And if it is the secret passage you want to hear about, tonight is not the right time...Perhaps in the future." Ishizu remarked the last sentence with a tinge of dreaminess.
"If!...If you could tell me later, why not now?" Anzu, desperate, cried out loud.
"All in time. Now you must follow me."
Ishizu turned away from her and tugged Rebecca to face forward.
Anzu's eyes shone with sudden anger and fear. She was getting sick of all these queer bunch: Obnoxious people telling her what to do and what not to do.
Anzu bit her lips till her face went pale and pushed the two women in front aside and started to run up the stairs, down the hallway and out of Bakura's mansion.
She heard Rebecca's shilling voice echoing behind her. And her heart raced so fast it was a torture for her to even take a single breathe but she did not have time to care for her breathing, this spontaneous act gave her the last chance to escape the place.
Where should I go, where is the gate out!!!
Her nervous blue eyes searched around for exits.
There were no people out on the street, which was a good thing. She guessed they must be all celebrating indoors, drinking. So she began to just run again.
Exit gate will eventually appear
Forgetting she wasn't wearing any shoes, Anzu ran fiercely. Night sand blew on her face and bandits' drunken laughter harassed her but she could not stop.
Then, she saw a giant wall blocking her path.
If I follow this wall, it will show me where the gate is.
Anzu somehow managed to think clearly, and traced the wall sideways. Seconds felt like hours to her. Time was running out.
"Wait, you."
Anzu's whole body became rigid and her fingers trailing the giant wall froze. She tried to run but her legs did not listen to her. The stranger's voice came louder behind her.
"Aren't you the woman from the bath chamber?"
".........."
He came closer; Anzu's heavy breathing seized.
"It is you."
He flashed his smiling face at her. But he quickly put away his smile and made a serious, puzzled and somewhat worried face.
"But what are you doing out?"
"....I.."
"...hey...........are you running away?"
It felt as though his questions did not actually seek for answers but whether to comfort her from the eerie night.
"...please, ...pretend you didn't see me."
"I can't do that. Bakura will surely start looking for you in couple of seconds."
"B.,.But I can't be here, I have to find my parents."
"If you leave now, you will freeze to death. Desert in night hours is the deadliest places on earth."
"It's better than here!"
"I will help you."
"...? wha..."
"Trust me."
He grabbed her by wrist and looked deeply at her eyes. His violet eyes glistened under the beam of silver moon. Anzu murmured his name. Malik. Wonder if means anything like a night fairy.
He smiled like a child and whispered in her ears, "I'm not one of them."
What does he mean by one of them? The bandits??
Anzu looked up and starred at him with some fear in her eyes. If she learned anything from the day's disaster was to never trust anyone.
"Wai..t,"
He smiled again and prepared to run off with her hand fastened in his. Suddenly, Anzu felt something on her shoulder. Someone else was behind her now.
"Where do you think ya'll going?"
Bakura's sharp voice rang though Anzu's tense ears; she froze once more. Malik turned fast and faced Bakura.
For a minute, Anzu felt like she was going to sink down into the terra and wished dearly to disappear from the spot.
Long time no uploading. I was just too busy... So here we got Anzu trying to run away, Malik messing around with her and lastly, Bandit King Bakura's appearance for the cliffy.
Thanks for reviews, I read them again and again, and sometimes send replys (probably to your emails).
