Chapter #7This is why you don't go into the woods at night. by: Wolfboy.com   Syrus standing at the entrance, shaking like a leave and looking like he wanted to be anywhere else but here right now. Which only begged the question, why was he here in the first place?
*Crack!*
The sound of her stepping on a stick as she walked forward caused Syrus to almost literally jump out of his skin "AAAAHHHH!!! WHO'S THERE?!?! I'M WARNING YOU!!! I'VE GOT A CROSS AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!!!" the short young duelist hollered as he waved the aforementioned cross around frantically, hoping to ward off any evil spirits.
Honestly, even with the situation so serious Alexis found his reaction adorable and hilarious. And she couldn't help but tease him a little "Your holy relic has no effect on me, little man." she said playfully.
Hearing a familiar voice snapped Syrus out of his panic as he shined his flashlight to see the very welcomed sight of his not so secret crush Alexis giving him a friendly smile.
"A-Alexis? Wha-what are you doing here?" he asked bewildered.
"Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing." she said as her friendly expression turned serious.
"Um, well..you see..it's stupid." he dejectedly "See, last night the guys and I were playing a game, where we told each other scary stories based on monster cards we drew from a deck. The higher level the monster, the scarier the story had to be. Then Prof.Banner joined in and drew a level 12 monster, so he told as the story of the abandoned dorm. Jaden thought it would be fun to check it out for ourselves. I begged him to reconsider, but that somehow convinced him that it would be even more fun to bet on who would get to go to the dorm alone. So we drew cards from a deck to decide who would go, strongest wins. It figures the one time in my life I didn't want to draw a good card is when I would."
As Alexis took all this in she started to reconsider her crush on Jaden. Sure he was a great duelist and was one of the friendliest guys you would ever meet, plus he didn't treat her like a walking pair of boobs like most boys did. And he was pretty handsome. But he was also an idiot. Unless he was in the middle of a duel he was lazy, careless and as dense as lead. I mean, what kind of moron would want to willingly go to place where people have disappeared without a trace just because it "sounded fun"?
"Well if you were smart you would've backed out of that bet and stayed in bed." she scolded "This place was abandoned for a good reason. People have never been seen or heard from again once they stepped into this place, which is why it's now completely forbidden. If any of the teachers found out about this you would be expelled without hesitation."
"Wait if that's true, then why are you here?"
"I have my reasons! That's why!" she snapped at him.
Syrus jumped back at her sudden anger "Okay! Okay! Sorry for asking." he said raising his hands in surrender "I understand that you don't want me here so I'll just-"
"Wait.." Alexis sigh with remorse at her outburst "I'm sorry for that. It's just.." she paused while closing her eyes, her mind full of happier times with her big brother. Times that now instead of joy brought nothing but pain.
"Just what?" Syrus asked.
"One of the students that went missing..was my brother." she explained with a voice heavy with grief.
Syrus's eyes widened as he looked back at the rose he saw earlier on the ground "So that rose is..from you?"
"Yes. And I don't want to add more to this cursed place because I lost someone else I care about. So please Syrus..go back to your dorm and never come back here." she pleaded as she walked away.
Hearing her say she cared about him caused his face to turn completely red and his heart to thunder in his chest. He knew she only meant it as a friend, but hey a guy can dream right? So after taking one last look at the evil looking building, Syrus decide he had seen enough and started to power walk back to the dorm.
While Alexis watched on from some nearby trees she sighed in relief that he took her advise before turning to head back herself, only to have her path block by a towering shadow.
"AAAHHH!!!"
Syrus halted his march when he heard a girl's terrified shriek, a shriek that could only belong to "Alexis!!" he shouted as he ran to the direction he heard the scream. And what he found was a man who stood well over 6 feet tall wearing a black trench coat, a black fedora, a demonic looking mask to hid his eyes and big duel disk strapped to his shoulder.
But worst of all, was that he held a terrified looking Alexis in his huge arms, one of his meaty hands over her mouth to keep her quit.
"Who are you?! What do you want?! And let her go, or else?!" Syrus shouted, trying to sound as intimidating as possible. It didn't work.
"I am your worst nightmare come true." the giant said with deep voice that made Syrus's blood freeze "What I want, or rather who I want, is Jaden Yuki. And if you want the girl, come and take her if you can." he smirked.
Syrus wanted more then anything then to run up and take on this behemoth to save Alexis, but fear kept his feet rooted. "What do you want with Jaden?!"
"I want him to experience horrors beyond imagination as I send his soul to The Shadow Realm. You boy have 1 hour to tell Jaden that if you want any hope of seeing your pretty little friend again, you will find me here to duel me in a Shadow Game. If he doesn't arrive in time, then this girl will never see the light of day again. Then again.."
The villain started to grope one of Alexis's humongous hooters with his free hand much to her dismay. But no matter how much she struggled, she was powerless to escape his grip.
"Perhaps it would be better to make her my slave? Such beauty is very rare indeed." he said with dark delight, finding her struggles amusing.
"MMMMPPPHHH!!!!"
"You sick bastard!! Get your filthy hands off her!!" the short duelist shouted with indignation.
"If you wish to save her yourself, boy, you are welcome to try. Just know that if you do, you risk your own soul as well as hers." Titian said as he seemed to float back into the abandoned dorm, fog seeming to come from nowhere as he disappeared into the darkness "Your hour begins now. Make your choice. Her fate is in your hands."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
