CHAPTER THREE: DARKNESS
Seto slowly opened his eyes, groaning in pain as he tried to move. His head pounded and body ached, sharp pains racing down his body with each subtle movement. He was lying on the sand covered ground, the small room he was in cast in darkness save for the small crack in the door. Men's voices traveled under it, muffled by the heavy wooden door. He shifted his legs, feeling the course rope that had been tightly wound around his ankles. The memory of what had happened yesterday beginning to set in.
"Bakura!" he quietly whispered.
"Bakura!" he called a little louder. He quietly tried to pull against the ropes, struggling to release himself. He sighed in anguish, his eyes frantically scanning the room for something to use. He could barely move, with each muscle pulled, bitter pain set in. He moaned in agony as he pressed his weight against his broken ribs.
"Did you hear that?" one of the men asked.
Seto froze, looking to the door in terror as feet began to shuffle towards it. The man who had caused Seto such pain entered with a sadistic grin at the sight of him cowering on the floor in helplessness.
"Look who's awake." he leered, motioning the other two inside.
"Wher-where's Bakura?" Seto tried to keep his voice from breaking, even if his body shook with fear.
"Your little friend's dead." they laughed.
Seto's eyes widened in shock, "No...you're--you're lying!" he cried, curling up on the floor as the men approached.
"Where's the girl?" he barked, towering over the small boy.
"I--I don't know!" Seto cried.
"LIAR!" the man growled, kicking Seto hard in the stomach.
"I--I gave her my horse." Seto gasped, clutching his stomach in pain.
"WHERE!?"
"I don't know! It-It was dark!" Seto quickly answered, thick tears streaming down his face.
"Well, until you do," the man spat, pressing his face close to Seto's, "I'm going to keep you in this room." he smirked callously. Seto's breathing quickened, shaking his head as the men began to make their way to the door.
"Please..." Seto whimpered before the door was slammed shut, casting him into pitch darkness.

He took a deep breath, leaping up to quickly grab the bread.
"HEY!" he heard called after him, but he dared not look back as he raced down the street, weaving through the crowds.
"THIEF!" he ducked into a small littered alley, turning down countless side streets until the noise of the market slowly began to dissipate. The only sound the pounding of his footsteps and his heart racing as he ran.
He quickly hid behind a cart that had been laden with garbage, catching his breath and quietly waiting to see if he was still being followed. He grinned down at the prize held firmly in his hands, biting a big chunk out of the warm, crusty bread.
He froze as he heard two sets of footsteps descend down the alley.
"He's gone." One of the men spat before letting loose a string of curses, kicking his feet through the sand in fury.
The thief sat completely still as they paced up and down the crooked street, waiting for them to give up.
After a few minutes, their footsteps grew softer, the thief chuckling in relief as he stayed hidden, finishing his first meal in days.
He was getting better at this, stealing for a living.
He didn't need anyone.
He paused, Seto coming to mind. It had been a few days since he'd escaped those men.
But Seto hadn't.
A big part of Bakura felt guilty for leaving Seto behind, even if he knew if he'd stayed behind, he would have been killed.
Seto was probably dead now anyway.
Bakura tried pretending like it didn't bother him, shrugging it off as just another deed the pharaoh would be accountable for.
"Pharaoh..." Bakura hissed, "one day I will kill you."

Seto's stomach growled, he placed his hands there, sighing in what was soon settling into as defeat. He'd managed to loosen the ropes binding him over the past two days, but that had been it. Confined to this dark, stank room alone.
Sometimes he'd hear the muffled voices of the men who had kidnapped him but they never came in, not even to see if he was alive. It was as if they'd forgotten he was even there.
He'd thought about leaving countless times but the fear of being caught always burdened him into staying.
And if he was to be caught...he would be killed in an instant. That's what the man had said.
He didn't know how long he'd been trapped--each hour bled into the next until he didn't even know if it was day or night.
Thoughts of escape began to cross his mind again. He was bound to die if he stayed here. At least he had a chance if he escaped. Fear settled into the pit of his stomach. He'd have to use any energy he had on running as fast as he could. He couldn't even think about where he would go. He just had to get away, even if it meant walking the desert until he should collapse in exhaustion.
But this time…
Seto knew there wouldn't be anyone there to save him...
