CHAPTER FOUR: ESCAPE
With shaky legs, Seto managed to pull himself up as quiet as possible. He stumbled slightly, holding his head from the rush of blood that made him dizzy and lightheaded. His heart began to pound, this was it, tonight was the night he would either be killed or escape with his life. The men who'd confined him had been gone for several hours, enough time that Seto prayed they were far away from him.
He knew it would be foolishly optimistic for him to believe they had left the room unguarded. He slowly made his way to the door, peaking through a small crack in the wood. Seto's eyes widened when he saw one of the men was lying in a makeshift bed, fast asleep. This man he'd never seen before, he was younger than the others and dirtier, the problem Seto had was he looked like he could crush Seto's skull with his fist like it was paper.
He took a deep breath, he still stood a better chance against one than all three. With that, he slowly opened the door, wincing as it creaked, watching the man with fearful eyes. He gave a sigh relief when the door was open enough for him to get through.
He slowly pushed his body through the door, tiptoeing across the room. All that stood between him and his freedom was one last door. He pressed his palm flat against the wood, looking back again at the man.
It was now or never.
He’d have to just go for it.
With that he flung the door open and leapt out, sprinting down the empty alley. His body was on fire, fighting against him from the torture he’d been put through by the men but he couldn’t think about it, not if he wanted to survive. His heart jolted when he heard a scream come from behind him, he looked back as he ran, gasping when he saw his kidnapper yelling and hurdling after him.
Seto turned down another street, running as fast as he could. He soon realized they were still in Bakura’s old village of Kul Elna. His heart leapt, he could use this to his advantage, for the few short weeks they had been together, Bakura had already shown Seto countless hiding places he had used.
Seto’s mind raced, searching for one of their familiar spots as he followed the twisting paths. He clutched his side, wincing at the dull throbbing as he ran. He could still hear the man yelling after him, he was getting closer, Seto would have to find a place to hide soon or it would all be over.
He searched in panic for somewhere to go, anywhere that the man wouldn’t be able to find him.
He wasn't going to be able to run much longer, he was growing so tired and he was losing speed. He turned another corner, searching the street.
"That's it!" He whispered upon seeing what had once been Bakura's home. He ducked inside, quickly pushing the dusty rug aside and jumping into the small hole that had been dug beneath it. Just as quickly, he pulled the rug back over him, keeping completely still, listening for the man.
It was deafeningly silent as he waited, the only sound his labored breathing in the dark, cramped hole.
Bakura pulled back the rug proudly, showing Seto his newly dug hole.
"Its to hide the gold I find when I become rich. That way no one can steal it." He proudly stated.
"Why didn't you hide in it when the men came?"
"I couldn't get back to the house." He quietly responded.
Seto's heart clenched when he heard footsteps quickly run past the hut and on down the street.
"Thank you." Seto quietly whispered.
