"firstly I didn't expect you to trust me, second don't assume I'm some 2nd rate magician.... that's very insulting to my talents. third My younger brother and his father value that treasure. I value freedom from this dreary place.. I wasn't meant to be trapped within these walls or under my brothers shadow." she scoffed "besides the only relation him and I have is our mother. i hate that reached boy and that pathetic excuse of a damn consul...when he was of age to start his training even my own mother abandoned me for the sake of that spoiled brat." she closed her eyes as she rammed a fist into the wall. "trust me or not it's your choice... but trust me you wont get in or out without getting caught by a guard." she pulled her fist away from the wall, licking the blood off of her cut and bruised hand. "see you around I suppose" she turned away and waved as she began to head back for the palace.
Atem took her hand again while smiling at the memories "we were nearly inseparable. We'd always stick up for each other and play together. we were like Yin and yang. two halves of a whole... she always had an ever creeping darkness in her heart and our separation, plus her loneliness set it off inside of her. she hates everything about this place except for you."

"I think the sadest part of that story was the fact that because of the consul Eros and you are no longer close. Even with different father's you two are still family, no matter which way you look at it," she said then paused and thought. "Tell me, would you have hated Eros if she was chosen to be Pharaoh? Because of her age?" she asked curious. Amme turned her head down, "Yes, sometimes loneliness can drive someone to feel or do strange things," she said knowing loneliness all too well.
Bakura narrowed his once eyebrow. For the sister of the Pharaoh she spoke quite differently. His eyes widened when she punched the wall. Was she telling the truth? Why should he even care? He just wanted to get what he wanted from the palace. But he did find her story a bit interesting. She began to walk away and Bakura followed closely and quietly. Before she got too close he called to her, "You seem to want me to sneak into the palace. If you still want you can. But if it is a trap, I'll find you first when I get out," he threatened her. "Well? Is this a way to get back at your brother? For me to steal his treasure? Not that I mind being a part of your plan, seeing as it pays off for me. Not to mention, I like knowing it will upset him," he said smirking. He was ready to infiltrate into the palace.

Eros glanced back as she stopped "lets just say he'll be fuming and I'll be laughing my head off. he hates it when things get by him unnoticed until too late.. i know the boy inside and out. plus i wouldn't blame you... nt that death or torture scares me. there are far worse things." and with a single flick of her wrist they were cloaked in invisibility. she then smirked as she kicked the guard at the gate in the shin and the two men began to tussle while she had Bakura and herself sneak past unnoticed at all. "oh how i love causing trouble." she snickered as she lead them inside and headed down a steep passage. when they came to the door she help up her millennium rose and said a few Latin words before the door opened to the treasure room. "there's a secret exit in the back and there's a hidden exit behind the horse stable that will allow you to escape with ease." she said calmly while looking at the treasure, completely uninterested in the riches.
Atem nodded "yes it can. and I would have been happy for her and supported her. she wasn't even able to be close to me so our relationship fell apart as we grew more distant. I still believe there is hope for her if shed just open up again."

"If you like, I could talk with her. Since we both get along so well. Only if you would like me to," she said. She then smiled and closed her eyes for a moment. "Forgive me for saying this, but I would have preferred Eros to be Pharaoh. Not that you're not a fit leader, but I don't get to spend as much time with you as I used to, before you became Pharaoh. And perhaps Eros wouldn't have been so saddened," she said. "Not that I don't enjoy spending time with Eros either, but she's always on the run anyway," she said. She already missed Eros enough when she would sneak away, however she had different feelings for Atem, thus she missed him in a different way. She then stopped suddenly and let go of Atem's hand. "Someone is here," she said bending down and touching the ground. "Someone who isn't supposed to be here," she added. She tried to pick up the vibration of the foot steps but it was hard. Bakura and Eros were invisible to everyone else, but what did that matter to Amme? She could hear Bakura's loud foot steps, they were not of anybodies she knew. Nor were they like normal people's. She didn't know who it was. But they were running. And because Eros was practically the only person Amme couldn't pick up on, she didn't realize she was there. There were other times Amme has done this and mistaken a visitor or a guard for someone who did not belong, but she could not help but be alarmed. These were the only senses she had to protect herself. She couldn't tell where they were going, not yet.
Bakura followed her closely so not to be out of range. He held back a snicker when she kicked the guard in the shin. Personally, he would have killed them under this spell, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity. The spell was taken off once he was in one of the treasure rooms. He smirked, this was too easy but extremely successful. Yes, he was very happy. He started to pick some pieces and hide them. "And you? What are you going to do now?" he asked as he packed up.
[[should Bakura be caught now? I left it open so if you don't want him caught yet he doesn't have to be or he can be if you want. If you do, he could get caught once Eros walks away or maybe as he takes the horse and leaves? He can get caught while on horseback.]]

(hmmm how about as he's leaving the palace? ^^)
Eros shrugged "study I suppose. I didn't become this strong by just goofing around like my pathetic brother. I still have many more spells to learn. as well a honing some i already know. have fun escaping." she waved as she vanished once more and headed for her room. before that however, she put a beautiful dress on Amme's bed (whichever color you like ^^) and smiled before heading to her room.
Atem looked at amme as she said someone was here "can you tell where they were heading?" he asked softly "I can check to see who it is. as for Aries don't worry about her. i'll find some time to talk with her... and I'd also prefer that she was pharaoh. I miss spending time with you both." though he wouldn't admitt he missed Amme more.

She felt the ground, trying to find out where it was coming from. "No...... I can't tell anymore. It was very fast....." she said standing up. She hated when she couldn't tell. "Perhaps it was just a guard then...." she said letting it go. Atem probably wouldn't know cause she generally felt the footsteps behind them in the distance, he wasn't looking in that direction. Amme stood back up and walked with him again. She couldn't help but smile when he said he missed spending time with them. "I was going to head back to my room to get something, you don't have to, but would you walk me up there? I can do it myself but it is faster with help," she said making sure to make it clear that she could do it by herself. She didn't ask or take help from many people, only really Atem and Eros. Or her old care giver, but she died 2 years ago.
Bakura gave her one last smirk and then turned back to gather more things. Sure the challenge was taken away but with this type of reward how could he complain? Plus he still had to make it out of the Palace and back to his hide out without getting caught. Once he grabbed everything he could, he went towards the back and out to the stable. He took the fastest looking horse, jumped on, and began to leave. However, he did not go unnoticed. There was a guard near by on horse back patrolling. When Bakura's horse raced out of the stables, the guard saw who he was and what he was running off with.
"Stop in the name of the Pharaoh!" the guard yelled out.
"I will not because he is not my king! No man is my king!" he yelled back as the horse continued forward. He brought out a whistle he had hidden and blew it. This was to alert his men to come to him and help. He would need them now that the one guard found him and was chasing him. There were bound to be more coming.

Atem nodded "ok I'll be happy to." he said gladly with a bright smile as he took her hand and began to walk with Amme to her room.
Eros smiled as she began improving some of her more DISTRUCTIVE spells. some would also be considered more gruesome that any egyptian torture.
More guards, several on horseback began to surround Bakura "you will pay heavily for your crimes against Egypt and it's people Touzuko Bakura!" the leader shouted as he pointed his sword to bakura's throat "get off lady Eros's horse! oh and your men aren't coming. we discovered them and chased them out of town. course a few fell on the way." 3 bodies of some of bakura's best men were thrown into the circle. "now get down or die."
Eros's voice flowed into Bakura's mind 'please get off of my horse... plus best to live and fight another day. I will help you escape with your riches and all but for a price which i will tell you once i come to free you, no worries though, it isn't anything life threatening infact i think it'll help you as much as myself.....' her voice was calm and it slowly faded.

Once she was brought up to her room she searched around one of her dressers. She felt around for a small jar with engraved with an ankh for 'eternal life'. It was how she knew which jar had what, instead of painted on symbols they were engraved so she could read them that way. She shut the drawer and stood up. She walked to her bed and sat down. She was going to open it, but she felt something on her bed. "Huh?" she said getting up and putting the jar down on the ground. She felt what was on the bed, "A dress?" she said realizing what it is because of the feel and shape. "I guess Eros got it for me," she said smiling. She could tell the shape but couldn't tell the color. "What does it look like?" she asked Atem, a bit curious.
Bakura was surrounded by the Pharaoh's horsemen. He had to stop or he would have run into another horse. He snarled when they said his men weren't coming. Pathetic followers, they should have been able to escape them. He was about to bring out his sword and take care of these guards when he heard Eros's voice. He growled, hating the fact he had to give up to these fools, but she had a point. "You better be right," he thought back to her, unknowing if she would even here him. He jumped off of the horse and glared at all the guards. He brought out his arms and smirked, "Well go on, I'm not going to kill you yet. But you better watch yourself, because I won't give mercy to anyone of yous when I escape," he said giving himself up. The guards to liberty in beating Bakura till he was unconscious. They threw his unconscious body onto a horse and began to bring him back to the palace, to the jail.

Eros felt bad for how Bakura was treated. she hid in the hallway of the dungeon as she watched the guards pass with a battered and unconscious albino. dormant emotions slowly began to stir along with her ever growing anger but she restrained herself from tearing them apart. she would leave that privilege for Bakura. after they chained him up and left Eros knelt before him allowing her emotion of concern show while he was unconscious. "no one not even you should be treated like this." she whispered before she unchained him with a spell and put her hands on his stripped chest. they began to glow as his wounds began to heal. "If anything you deserve the throne for what my brother's father had done to your people.." she whispered before pulling away slowly as his wounds were completely healed. "Bakura." she called out trying to wake him.
Atem smiled "a beautiful lavender and blue. i think you'd love it." he said softly as he leaned in the doorway. "a gift from Eros I assume." he said sweetly smiling at the thought.

[[I just realized I never said what color it should be. The colors you choose were fine. Sorry about that >.> ]]
Amme smiled, liking her gift. However, her smile faded to a sad look. Shesat on the bed, making sure not to sit on the dress. "Atem, I have a question. It's ok if you can't answer it, I found that most people can't. But...." she said then paused, "is there anyway to explain color? I was born blind so I have no memory of what a color looks like. I know it shouldn't bother me, but everything else a normal person can see has been explained to me, except this." She said holding the jar that she had taken out from before.
Bakura was thrown into the chamber and brought back into partial consciousness. Enough to see where he was and the guards locking him in. His body felt horrible, every inch was either sore, bleeding, broken or a combination. He could only hear the guards walking away laughing as he passed out again from pain. He didn't even noticed he was cuffed, though if he had any sense at the moment he would know that they would have cuffed him. He was still passed out when Eros finished healing his body. When she spoke his name he instantly woke up, shooting his eyes open. Because of all his struggles, his normal reaction from being touched was to defend himself. Plus he remembered what happened to him, he thought Eros was a guard. He sat up quickly and wrapped his hand around her throat. He pressed her up against the wall and snarled. Then he realized who he had in his grasp. He let go and backed away. He then looked at his body. He was completely healed. "How...." he said then looked at her, "you healed me, didn't you?"

(lol tis ok i thought you might like em, i can change the colors if u like)
Atem though for a moment "the only way i can try to explain color is emotion. emotions and colors coexist in harmony. like the swirling colors i'm sure you see in your mind with peoples emotions and auras." Atem said softly as he sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulder in a comforting manner.
"yes, though my powers can deceive, and harm, they can also heal but at a cost.. while the wounds i receive aren't as sever, sometimes they can be fatal if i am not careful.." the cuts and bruises that Bakura had were now on here in the same spots. she rubbed her neck as she stood and held out her hand. "i'll help you escape, but please take me with you. I may have been born here but I do not belong in the place. I want to be free."

Amme stopped and thought for a moment. She had told him and Eros how she can imagine people's auras. She could sense people, when someone was near there were an array of things she thought of when they came near and she felt them. "When people are near, I think of certain things that remind me of them, things that relate to their soul. I may have never seen a flower, but I can visualize it from what I know when I touch it. Depending on a person's aura I place an object to them, or multiple objects. This can include a smell, a feel, a shape, or a noise. They are what I use to explain what I see in my mind," she explained. "So then, a color can be explained by what object it best represents?" she asked. "So then, what is blue? What does it feel like and what does it remind you of?" she asked finding out if this would be the best way to explain a color to her. She smiled when he put his arm around her, she felt warm from his touch. "Do you want to know what I sense when I know you're near?" she asked.
Bakura saw as the girl now looked like she was beaten. Why would she use that power at such a cost? He stood up smacking her hand away. "That was your deal? You want to come along with me? You have everything here, why do you want to leave?" he said unable to understand her reasoning. "You would be on the run your whole life, you want that? Do you think I like this?" he argued with her. He would bring her but he couldn't understand why at the moment.

"I rather be able to run! I don't care about wealth! money or luxury! sooner or later that stupid consul will find a way to get rid of me just like when i was born! I'm like a rat in a very small cage! the only reason why my brother is free in this hell hole along with having my throne is because of his blood! he's pure.... and I-...I'm a bastards child. I don't want to be stuck in my brothers shadow. the only reason why i'm still here is because of my mother's last wish before she died."Eros's eyes filled with tears of anger "there are so many haunting memories here for me you can't even begin to fathom.. even if i escape on my own.. I'll have no where to go that I'll be safe. temples.... villages they'll just hunt me down. go if you want.." she shed her tears and sat down against a wall. the spell made her a bit tired.
"its a soft soothing color that makes me relax...." Atem looked at her "what do you sense when you know I'm near?" he asked with a curious smile.

Amme smiled and closed her eyes for a moment to let them rest. "I think of the smell of fresh plums, and think of the silkiness of the flowers, and I think of shape points like a triangle. Though the shape might be because of the puzzle. The smell is from the oils that you used, it's one of your scents. And in correlation to that I think of the actual fruit and flower it came from," she explained blushing a little. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times.
"Oh!" she said remembering something. "That reminds me. That's why I wanted to come to my room," she said. She used her free hand to search for his free hand, grabbed it, and pulled it toward her. She then used her other hand to give him the jar she had with her. It was easier to hand people something when she was holding their hand since it was always possible to find your own hand. "My mentor taught me how to make those oils. I asked her to help me make the plum scent so I can make it for you. You can use it for your body or for burning. I even made Eros and myself one," she said. She could get the one for Eros later and give it to her. "Eros may not remind me of a strawberry, but I thought she would like the smell," she said explaining what his sister's oil was.
Bakura watched as the girl poured out her heart. And he took pity on her? He no longer thought it was a trick, after all, she had proven herself over and over. And she wasn't like the other's hear. She actually sounded like a human being, not a palace swine. Bakura heard the doors to the jail open. Someone was coming. He looked at her, now in the corner. He wanted to get out, he needed to get out. And he felt like he couldn't leave her hear. He walked up to her and grabbed her by her arm and picked her up on her feat- making sure not to hurt her. "You're coming with me. Just get me out of here and you can come with me," he said. He didn't know what she had planned, but she better do it quick. And could she even do it now that she took all of his wounds?

Eros winced slightly but focused, making them invisible once more and pointed in the opposite direction that that feet were coming from. "that way, there's a hidden passage that only the Priests are suppose to use but my item can get us through." she stood up on her own and began to walk towards the hidden passageway.
Atem blushed and smiled as he took the jar. "that's very sweet of you Amme. thanks. And I also think that Eros would love it she does have a thing for strawberries anyways." he said gently. "i'll use this later after my work for the day is done."
