The power

Chapter one

'It can't be!' she thought as the young girl ran for the life of her loved one. He was in great danger. She had not noticed until a few moments ago that the letters she had been receiving held the dark secret to her boyfriend's disappearance

She kept running along the border of the forest looking for the place that the last letter described. After a wile she found it. It looked just as the letter had said. It was horribly bloody and the smell of death was everywhere. There were human bones and decapitated bodies everywhere. In the middle of the mess was a note. This note had not even the slightest smudge of blood on it. After getting over the sight of the blood and everything she picked up the note and read it.The note read;

Minai,

I know you have finally come. If you wish to know more about where your boyfriend is and what has happened to him I need you to do me a favor. There is a gold locket among this mess, find it and put it on this letter and the way will open.

She read the letter and put it down and started looking for the golden locket. As she touched the bodiesshe cringed and thenshe found out that there was a strange chemical on them. But she had to keep searching. Eventually she found it on a almost completely decomposed body but not until after thechemical had started eating at her fingers. She wiped the chemical away and put the locket on the letter. When she did there was a great flash of brilliant light and once it was gone there was a door where the letter was. She gulped and walked through the door.

On the other side of the door was a long tunnel. She walked down it carefully not knowing what to expect. At the end there was another letter next to a baby's body. She gasped and started to cry as she looked at the body.Aftera few minutes she got over theshock.She picked up the letter and it read;

Minai,

You have come far. I commend you on that. Here is a clue to what has happened to him. The child had the same fateas he will. Do not despair; there is still a chance you can save him if it is you wish to do so. Hurry down the corridor to your right.

She looked at the baby and gulped and ran down the corridor. On the way there she met a young man. He wore a skintight shirt and skintight pants. He had long white-ish hair. He also had a strange necklace on it looked like a pyramid within a circle.

"Hello Minai." He said looking at her with cold brown eyes.

"H-Hello. Are you the one who has been writing me the letters?" She asked nervously.

"Yes I am. I have been sincerely worried about David. I am an old friend of his." The man explained. He held out his hand to her and she took it. "You are quite beautiful. David always did know how to pick his females." She blushed and said nothing. They walked together in silence for a wile.

"Where is he?" She simply asked after a wile.

"Hemight besafe." He said his cold eyes looking her over. She shuddered. This mans gaze was so cold you could feel it try and freeze you. They walked on and she was getting tiered. He saw this and said,

"Let's rest here. It will take us a wile longer to get to where David is." She nodded and laid down to rest. He smirked evilly and lay down beside her and started whispering things into her ear. He whispered things like "David left you" and "If he had cared he'd have told you where he was going" things of that nature. When she woke up she was in tears. She didn't know what to think about what she had heard. She thought it had been her conscience that told her these things. The man looked at her and held her as she cried. She couldn't see it but he was smirking evilly.

After a wile she stopped crying and he smiled.

"Don't worry we will find him." The man said smiling.

"I don't even know your name."

"Hmm?"

"I mean we're traveling together and I do not know your name." She said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"My name is Bakura." He responded, "We should get going. We have a little further to go."

"Alright." She said and they continued walking. Soon they got to a large chamber and in the middle was a large throne, on that throne was her love. She ran to him overjoyed.

"Oh David! I thought I had lost you my love!" She cried out and hugged him, only to get shoved away.

"I run off to do as I please and get away from you and you find me… Bakura you had better had a good explanation for bringing her here." David said coldly. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I thought you loved me." She whispered quietly.

"Love you! HA! That's laughable. I used you. You had a heart of gold and money. I had nothing. I needed someway to realize my true dream." David said with a smirk.

'This is going perfect. Soon… very soon…she will be ours, as will her great power.' Bakura thought.

"WELL! I'm waiting for the explanation!" David yelled.

"There is no better explanation than that I only wanted to see if I could turn you from your dream and to test your loyalty to your master."

"Master? I have no master! I work alone!" David yelled. Bakura looked over at Minai and hugged her close.

"I can feel what you want to do… do it only if you can stand being without him." He whispered into her ear. She nodded and walked over to David. She started feeling this darkness in her heart. There was this coldness and hatred that she never knew she had. David raised an eyebrow at her as she took his hand and nuzzled it. He had no idea what she was doing. Neither did she. She kissed his hand and he winced. Where she had kissed his hand the skin started to melt away slowly and painfully.

"Minai, what are you doing? I thought you loved me." He said looking at her alarmed. She looked at him surprised.

"You don't love me and you told me you used me andexpect me to be kind to you like I was before?" She said surprised at her own response. It felt strangely invigorating to put the one she had loved into his proper place. It was so unlike her though. She was usually kind to a fault.

The melting skin on David's hand spread to his arm and he tried hard to get it off, but to no avail. It spread through him and eventually killed him. All that was left now was a bare skeleton and a heap of melted skin, organs and muscles.
