   A Modified Version of the Latest Part In My Fan Fic
The air seemed still after Atem stopped speaking. Anika murmured,
“I don’t know what to say....” as she looked down.
“You don’t have to say anything.” Atem assured her, blushing a little. He motioned her to follow him down the hall. Anika smiled a little and followed. After a bit, Atem asked, “Anika? Why didn’t you tell me?” Anika hesitated her footsteps for a moment. She knew what he meant by that.
“I-I was afraid.” came the meek response.
“Of what?”
“Remember when Seto was going on about how innocent lives would be sacrificed? I was afraid that if someone found out, they would take everything away from me, because what’s in me was powerful.” Atem nodded and said in response.
“Believe me. I wouldn’t let anything like that happen to you, Anika.” He turned and faced her. “I told you that Seto can go off like that when it comes to a battle. If you’re with me, you’re safe.” Anika chuckled.
“Because you have to protect the people of Egypt, right?” Atem smiled and his eyes sparkled a bit.
“Right.” He let out a laugh as well. Atem and Anika were walking down the tunneled hallway, and nearing the end. Anika stopped at a particular painting on the wall. She focused on part of it. A small boy getting water from the river. She thought a moment “Where have I seen this before?” she wondered.
“Something the matter?” she heard Atem ask.
“No. Not really. ” was the answer. “The picture just reminded me of something... but I can’t put my finger on it.” she shrugged. “It’s nothing to loose sleep over.” She said and smiled innocently.
“If it’s the boy you’re looking at, I’ll tell you, he’s a boy that carries out duties and warns others of danger. That’s what my mother told me.” Anika’s eyes widened a bit.
“Oh.” was all she could say. As they continued walking. Anika let out a bit of breath.
“What is it?” Atem asked.
“This flower....” Anika explained, tracing it with her finger. “This is my favorite flower, the Red Poppy... I never see it anymore...” she trailed off. There was a bit of silence again as Atem thought and Anika remembered.
“We’re near the end.” Atem informed her, breaking the silence. Anika looked confused.
“That was really short.”
“Trust me,” Atem said “We’ve been in here longer then you think. Let’s just hope no one missed us.” Anika nodded. They walked up and out of the tunnel. “Remember, you can’t tell a single soul about this.” Atem told Anika as she nodded. Both walked casually down the hall, not saying a word.
“ANIKA!!!!” came an excited yell from behind her. Anika turn to see Mana running towards her. She didn’t have enough time to react as Mana gave her a huge hug.
“You had me worried!” she exclaimed. “First the battle then you go missing! Where were you?” Anika took a little time to catch her breath again.
“I just got up.” She explained. “And... was getting some air.” She looked at Atem out of the corner of her eye and saw him nod slightly.
