Chapter 47
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
"Who wants to explain the next part?" Atemu asked.
Bakura, Marik and Yami looked amongst themselves before
Bakura and Marik look at Yami. Yami sighed and nodded as Bakura and Marik
relaxed, knowing they wouldn't have to tell the story. Yugi noticed that they
didn't look forward to telling this part of the story.
"We were still on the ship at the time. I had just
woken up after I had lost consciousness for about four hours...
"How are you feeling?" Bakura asked as Yami sat up, groaning
in pain.
"How do you think I feel?"
Bakura smirked and looked around and saw only slaves, all the guards
having gone topside as they had left port. No one would bother trying to escape
as no one could swim or so the guards thought.
"We have a plan to get out if you are interested?" Bakura
said.
"You think I wouldn't be."
"It's just if you fall behind we aren't coming back for you. You
get caught you are on your own."
"I would rather try than not. What is it?"
Bakura and Marik explained the plan for their escape. Yami put in
suggestions when he thought part of their plan was just wasn't going to work.
He was surprised when a couple of them were implemented.
"Hey Yami?"
"Yeah?"
"You know how to swim right?" Bakura asked.
There plan was when land was seen it was always called out and the
country was told so the slaves knew where they were. The plan was to jump ship
when Egypt was in sight and swim to shore. They just had to figure out how to
get their shackles off first but with Bakura and Marik's background that wasn't
going to be a problem. They would then run inland and find somewhere to lay
low.
"Yes I know how to swim if I didn't I would have said so when you
told me. I'm guessing you both know how."
They both nodded before settling back.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
It had been a just over a week since Yami was placed on the ship and
they had all been saving their energy for the escape. They knew they would need
it. It was late in the afternoon when they heard a racket going on topside.
Everyone listened carefully to hear what was going on.
"Land ahoy! Egypt is in sight on the starboard side."
Bakura and Marik nodded and started play with their shackles before
turning to Yami and helped him with his. Only the fit were shackled up at the
risk of escape. The sick and old were left untied. They had decided to try and
get anyone that could swim off the boat and they were told that if they fell
behind or got caught than they were on their own.
"We will make port in the morning." They heard one of the men
say.
"It might be better to wait till night time when they are mostly sleeping."
Yami said. "We're just lucky we won't make port till tomorrow or we would
have to try and get away now."
"Yeah we'll wait for nightfall."
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
Hours had passed and it was night time and had been dark for a couple
of hours now and had finally quietened down. They had decided to leave now.
Bakura and Marik made quick work of their shackles and were soon done with
Yami's before moving on to the others. Yami helped some of the less sick to
their feet. After a few minutes everyone was ready. Bakura and Marik made their
way up the steps with Yami right behind them and behind Yami were the other
slaves.
Bakura looked through the slats on the door and couldn't see anyone.
Quietly he pushed the door open and climbed out. Everyone quickly followed and
then all hell broke loose. A guard in the bird's nest saw movement out of the
corner of his eyes.
"Escape! The slaves are escaping!" He yelled.
Everyone jumped at this and looked around frantically, unsure what to
do. Bakura, Marik and Yami were the closest to the starboard side railing when
this all happened and the crew were coming in from the port side.
"Ok time to go." Bakura said and grabbed Yami's arm." Yami
let's go."
Yami turned and followed Bakura and Marik to the railing. Bakura jumped
over first before Marik followed him next. Looking back he saw six guards
coming after them. Yami quickly climbed over the railing and jumped before they
got too close.
Bakura surfaced having jumped first and saw Yami jump in just to the
left of him and saw guards look over the edge but because it was pitch black,
and there was only minimal light on the ship and it didn't reach the water
below, they couldn't see anything. They quietly all grouped together and
started to swim to shore.
They knew it was only a matter of time before they launched the boats
to search for them and thankfully with the ship still moving they should have
trouble finding their landing point. They also had the added problem of the
other slave they had to lock back up.
It took them a while to reach land and by the time they did it was
almost dawn. All three crawled up the beach before they collapsed� on their backs in exhaustion. Yami slowly sat
up after a good ten minute rest, since he knew he couldn't go to sleep yet even
though he really wanted to, as the sun had started to rise.
"We had better keep moving. We don't want to be here if they find
where we landed and trace us to here."
Bakura and Marik nodded and both sat up. Looking around where they were
they saw dunes behind them. Looking at that as the best scenario they headed to
the dunes and into the desert that lay beyond them.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
It had been nine days since they had escaped the ship and went into the
desert. They had found an oasis after the first three but decided to keep going
the day after. They rehydrated themselves there before moving onwards. They
didn't know where they were and by the fifth day after the oasis they were lost
and overly dehydrated.
It was late on the eighth day after they escaped from the ship or fifth
day after the oasis. The sun had just dropped below the horizon and they sat
against one of the dunes.
"We aren't going to last much longer guys." Yami said weakly
as he laid down.
"We just need to keep pushing on. Hopefully there is a village
nearby that we can �get food and
water." Marik said.
"Get some sleep. We'll need it for tomorrow."
Yami and Marik followed Bakura's instruction and followed him off to
sleep.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
The next morning the three woke to the sun beating down on them. It was
still early morning and they carried on. They were slowly getting weaker now
and they needed shade along with food and water and there was none of those
things around.
They carried on till the later afternoon when they saw a cliff face
come up from the horizon. Knowing that there must be shade nearby they hurried
towards it. Though there first thoughts were if it was a mirage since it had
happened a couple of times in the last few days. They hurried onwards till they
finally reached the cliff face. There was shade from a few overhung rocks which
they quickly hid under and slid into the cool sand.
"Thank god."
"I wouldn't just yet. We still need to find food and water."
Bakura said.
"But we have shade."
"Yeah but that won't do much good if we don't get some water at
the least."
They nodded and stood back up and walked along the cliff face, hiding
in the shade. As the afternoon rolled on the wind started to pick up and sand
started to blow all over the place. They found themselves out in the middle of
a sand storm.
"We need to get to some shelter." Yami yelled over the noise
of the wind.
"Yeah but where? There is nothing out here." Marik yelled
back.
"We just need to keep moving. There should be a cave at least
along this cliff face. Just keep a hand on each other's shoulder and one on the
rock face." Bakura yelled back.
Bakura was leading the way with Marik behind him and his hand on
Bakura's should and Yami was behind Marik with his hand on Marik's shoulder.
This was so that they didn't get lost or separated in the sand storm. Bakura
pushed forward against the wind and sand whipping against them. He knew they
needed to get out of the wind but there was literally nowhere to go.
After what felt like forever Bakura lost hold of the rocks beside him
and when he moved back towards them they were going inwards into the cliff
face. Bakura tried to open his eyes a little more and saw what looked like a
cave. Bakura continued with his hand against the wall and the other out in
front of him he walked inside. He felt Marik turn with him and follow after
him.
"I think we found a cave. I'm going to take us in further."
As they walked deeper they were able to let go of each other and open
their eyes completely now that the wind and sand wasn't whipping them in the
face. Yami was about to sit down when Bakura grabbed his arm to keep him
standing and shook his head. Just after that the wind changed direction and
started to come into the cave where they were. All three covered their face
with their arms to shield them.
"We need to go deeper. Come on. Same way again."
They lined up again and started down further and once they turned a
corner away from the wind and sand they relaxed a little more and walked along
side each other before they reached a fork in the tunnel before deciding to go
to take the one on the right and headed down further.
It was getting late now and there was little to no light in the cave
and they were relying on their adjusted eyes to see. Yami was slowly lagging
behind now and was really trying to keep up with them but was finding it really
difficult. He didn't come from their background so he didn't have the same
stamina they did. He was just lucky he was able to keep up with them as much as
he did already.
"Guys maybe we take a rest for the day." Yami said bringing
their attention to him.
"Yeah alright we'll get some rest here. It seems we have gotten
away from the sand storm now. Hopefully tomorrow it will have passed and we can
go back out and see if we can find some water and maybe food." Bakura said.
Marik sat down beside Yami who collapsed as soon as Bakura agreed. He
didn't know how much longer he would be able to go on before they left him. He
knew it wouldn't be for much longer.
"Yami are you ok?"
"Not really. I'm going to try to get some sleep. Hopefully I'll
feel a little better tomorrow."
Marik nodded and watched as best he could as Yami laid down on the
ground and was asleep very quickly. Marik looked to Bakura who was beside him.
"How much time do you think we have left?" Marik asked.
"Not much. Get some sleep." Marik nodded and laid down and
went to sleep with Bakura following him.
Neither of them noticed three sets of eyes watching from the far end of
the tunnel they were in.
