'Ello dears, sorry bout the short chapter as I said I had to get to class and my laptop bout died.
Anyhow, let's continue shall we ;)
Mit and I have been here for four days now; I don't think we should be here any longer. If the Prince is looking for us he could make it this far easily.
I guess he's probably the Pharaoh now.
"Mit, we should get out of here." Mit looks up from the pool he's been splashing in; he seems to like all the water. I bet he would love the pond in the palace garden. I shake the thought away; I'll never see the palace again.
Mit bounds out of the water, his usual happy self. I wish I could be so upbeat, since leaving the palace though I just can't manage it. I can't remember the last time I was like this; I don't even know what I'm feeling.
Mit shakes like a dog throwing water all over the place, I duck behind a tree to avoid getting soaked. I stand there for a minute till Mit stops shaking. Standing there I look out into the desert, toward the palace, all I see is sand but I know what lay beyond the dunes. As I gaze toward my once home I see something appear in the distance, the flash of gold shining in the sun. My eyes grow wide as only those who live in the palace wear gold. Rushing around the tree I run to Mit, "We have to go Mit, now!"
Hearing the urgent note in my voice Mit immediately lay down before me, I climb on, and Mit jumps up already running away from the oasis. I cling to his mane as I look behind us. The oasis shines with gold as Mit jumps clear over a dune, jumping another I see Marik staring toward me. Mit dives down a rather tall dune, blocking the oasis from view.
"Mit, are you sure there's no way they can track you?" Mit snorts, which isn't really an answer, "Mit, I'm being serious."
Mit slows to a steady walk and turns his head to look at me, "What?"
Mit rolls his eyes and snorts again, "I'll take that as a, 'I'm sure no one can track me' then."
Mit nods before turning back to the desert in front of us, "I guess we should find somewhere else to stay for a while." Mit nods, walking up another dune.
^Seth's point of view^
I found a way out of the palace without being noticed, in fact I found three; two I had sealed so no one else will find them and use them against us. I would have gone after the Pharaoh already but I have to have something that will convince him to listen to me.
That's why I'm here in the infirmary. The slave Jono is resting before me. I always thought he reminded me of a dog, not in a bad way. He's been by the Pharaoh's side since he was eight, he's loyal, and kind, and strong, even a bit smart, though he can be impatient.
He's also the only slave that dare argue with me, even if he's a slave he always saw me as his equal somehow. It used to infuriate me to the point I slapped him at least twice, but he never backed down. He never ran to the Pharaoh about it either, being the Pharaoh's personal slave no one is to touch him without the Pharaoh giving order, Jono could have had something done to me, even get me killed if the Pharaoh was mad enough.
Over the years I've come to like the slave. Jono slowly opens his eyes, "Priest?"
"Yes Jono I'm here."
"What do you want?"
"I see you're feeling better."
"Feel like I've been stabbed. Oh that's right I was." Jono's voice drips of sarcasm as he does his best to sit up.
"You weren't stabbed Jono, you were clawed by the creature." Jono looks at me as if I'd grown a second head.
"Seth, I was stabbed."
"What do you mean, you were stabbed? By who?" I try to calm my voice.
"Seth, you didn't see Bakura? He was there in the throne room, he stabbed me, he killed the Pharaoh."
My head feels like it's spinning, "Wait, what? Start over. What happened exactly?"
"Bakura put a knife to my throat just before we first heard the creature. When it came into the throne room I tried to grab the knife from Bakura, but he ended up stabbing me instead and pushed me away from the Pharaoh. The creature jumped, it looked like it was trying to hit Bakura but it wasn't fast enough. Bakura stabbed the Pharaoh and yanked the knife to the side, the creature turned to Bakura and grabbed him by the arm and throw him to the wall. The creature took Yugi and ran off; the Prince was giving orders when Bakura snuck off into the palace."
"Bakura is in the palace?" I yell, "Why didn't you tell us before?"
Jono looks scared, trying to hind in the pillows, "High Priest, I woke just this morning, and Isis refused to let me speak."
I take a breath to try and calm my nerves, "I'm sorry Jono. Thank you for telling me. I'll have Isis come check on you."
