no longer in present

chapter 10: Over coming

-Tea's New Cell-

Atem opens the cell door and closes the door behind him. He sees Tea who is not really sleeping. Tea breaths slowly with her eyes close. Her chest was moving up and down slowly. Atem comes to the bed and unlocks Tea's chains. He then sits down on the bed and pulls Tea's head on his lap. He strokes her hair nicely and kisses her lips. "Open your eyes Tea." Said Atem Tea opens her eyes and shows a blank expression on her face. Atem pulls Tea into his arms and carries her out of her cell. He makes sure her head is against his chest, but before he exits the cell he gently kisses Tea's lips a little longer. He then leaves the cell with Tea in his arms.

-Throne Room-

Atem had made sure that no one would see him carry Tea in the throne room. He places Tea down and locks chains around her arms and neck. Atem pats her head like well behave pet. She sits there motionless and gazes blankly. He moves back to his throne before anyone could see what he was doing. Mana enters the throne room and comes up behind the throne. "Hey pharaoh!" Shouted Mana. Atem jumps up out of his seat at the outburst. He turns and sees Mana laughing hard. She moves to the front and helps Atem up. "You should have seen your face." Said Mana. She grabs Atem's hand. Atem gets up on his feet. "Mana if I was you I would not show yourself for a couple of days." Said Mahad. He comes in the throne room. He crosses his arms. "Why would you say that Atem wouldn't know how to get me back." Said Mana. Atem laughs lightly to himself Mana turns around to see him laughing. Uh oh I know that look. Thought Mana. "Mahad's right I would beware because." Atem lower his voice. "I curse you with bad luck." Said Atem in a low voice. Mana just laugh. "Yeah right." Said Mana. Mana trips coming down the throne. She looks up at Atem and runs out of the room in fear. Atem and Mahad just laugh. "How you know that bad luck would strike her?" Asked Mahad. "Simple I had my foot stuck out." Said Atem. They both laugh even harder.

-Tea's mind-

Tea runs out of the palace and into the market. She no longer care if she was in Egypt all she wanted was to be away from the bearers of the Millennium Items. She makes a lot of twist and turns. I got to get out of here. Thought Tea. She then ran into someone. She fell backwards and looks up to see Atem. Atem smiles down at her. Tea starts to shake in fear. Atem bends down while Tea starts to back away on her hands and feet. She backs up into Seth. She looks up and gets up. She starts to run to her right. She notices there is a priest on her right then she tried her left only to notice another priest. She realizes then that she is surrounded. Tea tries to look for an escape out. I got to get out this inner mind. Thought Tea. "There is no escape from this place." Said Atem. "That's not true. There is an escape you just have to do something that you are afraid of doing." Said a childlike voice. I know that voice. Yugi. Tears stream down her face by the thought of her friends.

Tea looks up at the group. They smile back at her. They made their circle smaller around her. Her eyes widen. She then notices that the Market place is starting to fade away. What did he mean by doing something I fear. Thought Tea. Then an idea came to her. She goes near Atem and surprises everyone. She wraps her arms around Atem and kisses him close to where his lips are. Everything starts to fade away and Tea sees a door. She takes a deep breath and opens the door. The light was so bright she had to cover her eyes.

-Throne Room-

Tea blinks her eyes. Life returns back into her eyes. She looks and sees the pharaoh talking to one of his priest. She looks down and sees that she is in chains connected to the throne. She feels a chain around her neck. Oh now how will I escape. Thought Tea. Atem had stop talking to his Mahad and turns around towards Tea. Tea freezes hoping he did not notice her going back to being in control of herself again. She starts to panic every step Atem took to where she is. Atem sits on the throne and pats Tea's head. What does he think I am a dog or something? Thought Tea. If I ever in a place alone with Atem I'm going to punch him. Thought Tea.
