“Hey!”
Tea protested as she was shoved into a stone cell hard enough to stumble,
preventing her from trying to bolt out before the heavy metal door slammed
shut.
“Shut
up.” The hooded mook who was locking her cell door growled, his companion
limping slightly where she had driven her rather heavy boot into his foot.
“Why
should I?” Tea demanded, glaring at him through the small barred window in the
huge metal door.
“Because
if you want to get out of here, you’ll shut up and do what you’re told.” The
hooded creep informed her. “After all, the only people who know you’re here are
our men. Your friend’s been drugged so heavily, if he wakes up in time for the ritual
he’ll be lucky.”
Tea
winced, having been pulled away from Yami, who they had taken to another part
of the castle. They needed him. They had only survived the last few hundred ‘End
of the World’ scenarios because the Pharaoh had been there to save the day. If
Yami wasn’t going to wake up in time, she were in a lot of trouble and so was everyone
on the island.
The
mook seemed pleased at that reaction and he and his companion stalked off,
leaving Tea alone in the dungeons.
She
hadn’t expected to get thrown in the dungeon when she had been dragged out of
the secret tunnels. She didn’t know what she had expected, but being separated
from Yami and dragged down to the lower dungeon level hadn’t been on her list.
She
had hoped to at least pass Yugi when she had realised where she was being taken
but she hadn’t seen any sign of him which really worried her. She didn’t know if
her friends had already managed to get him out or whether he was being held in
a different part of the castle, and she was worried that, now they had Yami, they
had had gotten rid of Yugi.
Yami
would never forgive himself if he survived this and Yugi didn’t.
Tea
didn’t bother pacing the cell, instead barging the door just once before spending
the first ten minutes trying to get her arm through the bars on the door to
allow her to either pick the lock or work out some other way of escaping.
When
that didn’t work, she moved away from the door for a little bit to work out
another way of opening the door.
She
had no intention of being the damsel in distress again. She was sick of it. She
had been planning on taking self defence lessons for that exact reason. Annoyingly
they had been due to start next week.
Still
she wasn’t as helpless as the bad guys thought she was. They hadn’t bothered to
check her bag, believing her to be less of a threat then the King of Games.
That meant she still had everything that she had packed ‘just in case.’
Including the set of lock picks she had been practising with ever since Marik
had kidnapped her. She just had to, somehow, manage to reach the lock on the
other side of the door.
She
would have picked the lock from her side, except she didn’t appear to have a
keyhole she could use to do so.
“I
have to have something in here I can use.” Tea grouched as she went through her
backpack, “I packed everything bar the kitchen si...ah ha!” She grinned as she
pulled a small spool of crafting wire from her bag. “Let’s see if this works...”
