A Pharaoh's Bride (yugioh: Atem Love Story)

Chapter 23.

Isis made her way through what was left of the village she found that she could hardly keep the burnt smell's making her shiver with dread on the inside since it was very unlikely that they would find anyone still alive but that's when a sound caught her attention it had been soft like someone gasping at seeing some one walking about and then someone running, and she caught sight of them just for a second and she told the guards to follow them with her following behind a few times they caught sight someone running past them or around the corner in till they came to a burn cluster of huts and they seemed to loose who ever it was in till Isis noticed one of the door's that was't quiet hanging off the burnt hut was open slightly and she pushed it open and saw the young women huddled at the far corner trying to stay out of sight it was clear that she may of been a villager here or even a slave from the way she was dressed but what stood out about her was the pure white hair that went past her waist and deep blue eye's also the pale skin she had the poor thing looked scared to death.

"please we mean you know harm can you tell me what your name is and what happened here?" Isis asked.

"...Kisara...people in black cloaks showed up in the village they told us to hand over whatever gold we had but we'er a poor village and we had very little in gold or in food and other thing's since we live so far away from anywhere else ...and they became angry...and" she said.

"your safe now please no one here will hurt you now" Isis said.

"no it's not safe! some of those people are still around since they said they could't go back to those they worked for empty handed and if they saw your boat like i did...they'll go for it i..was't trying to hide from you i was trying to hide from them..if i had been closer to where your boat was i would of warned you to stay away..." Kisara said shaking with tears running down her face.

Isis eye's went wide just as Kisara stopped speaking as a vision hit and she told the guards to hurry back to boat as fast as they could because the queen was in danger they took off at once while she stayed with Kisara since the poor girl was scared to death but she knew that she could't stay here so she helped her to her feet and started to leave the burned hut before it came down around them and she prayed to the gods that Nefertari and Mana would be alright and that the guards would reach them in time.

Mana had kept walking back and forth along the boat worried about how long Isis was taking and it was starting make her worried as well also Nefertari had noticed that Tanis had started growling in his throat again and looking back at the shore line, and she followed his line of sight and she could just make out some people coming closer to the boat at first she thought that it was Isis and the guards coming back but she soon felt fear grip her when she saw the black cloaks that covered them from head to toe Bakura and Marik wore the same type of cloak which meant that these people worked for them, and that was't good thankfully they had't seen them yet and they had to get off this boat and fast she grabbed Mana's hand and with Tanis at her feet they left the boat though Mana looked lost at what she was doing in till she saw them to and nodded getting what she was doing, and they quickly took cover behind some of the burnt huts.

"do you think that they saw us?" Mana asked.

"i don't think so or rather i hope not but at least we have more choices of where to go than being stuck on the boat so much more a peaceful time outside of the palace i'm sorry Mana" Nefertari said keeping her voice low.

"hay it's not your fault you did't know this would happen" she said.

"but Shimon and Aknadin told me to more or less stay put behind the palace wall's because of the danger of Marik and Bakura i just hope that Isis is alright" she said.

"i'm sure she is..huh what's Tanis doing?" Mana asked.

Tanis was sniffing around and soon was tugging at the ends of her dress like he wanted them to follow him and told Mana to follow him to get a little further away from the boat and she also hoped that he picked up Isis's scent and she could't help but smile when they spotted Isis up ahead of them and Tanis hurried over and got a warm welcome and so did they seeing the smile on her face as they came closer to where she was hidden along side an other women.

"thank the gods the guards reached you in time" Isis said.

"ah no we spotted black cloaked people coming towards the ship it was Nefertari got us off the ship since Tanis would't stop growling again, we don't think that they saw us also who's this?" Mana asked looking at the other women.

"this is Kisara this was her home.. she warned me that these people might still be around so i sent the guards back to you but i'm guessing they did't get very far" Isis said.

"that's likely and i'm sorry Isis this is all my fault" Nefertari said.

"no it's not my queen i should of seen this before hand but i saw it to late and now we'er all in danger" Isis said.

"hay i can use my magic it should give us a chance" Mana said.

"no Mana you have to stay close to the queen keep her safe and Kisara the poor girl is scared half to death we'll find an other way out of here" Isis said.

"why do you keep calling her your queen?" Kisara asked looking at them all.

"because she is she's the Pharaoh's wife and if those people find her then she's going to be in real danger, is there any other way out of your village Kisara without being seen by them?" Mana asked.

"yes..but it's just open desert in till the next village" she said.

"better than waiting for them to find us" Nefertari said.

They nodded agreeing with her Tanis kept growling as he lead the way just in case there was trouble and it was't long in till they were clear of Kisara's home they looked back at the boat which from the look's of it was being raided for anything that was worth money also they spotted what had happened to the guards that had been with them, and Nefertari could't help but let a shiver of fear run down her back and she jumped a little when Isis took her hand getting her to keep moving so she did't fall behind, also she had a look that said even she had't seen that coming she sighed and kept moving other wise they were most likely to meet that same end.
