It was a normal Friday morning for Aerith Bloodstone as she gets sat on the living room couch while on her laptop. Aerith had the looks of a model but she hates people wanting her for her looks but not her young 16 year old girl with elbow long dark blonde curly hair and dark blue eyes frowns as she clicked onto her english task and saved it on her USB stick. School days were so boring but she managed to get A's in every subject and was on the honor roll. Not caring really about her grades she just lays about, doesnt do the revision sheets for any test but she still passes with flying colours. More or less her friends always bitched about their grades compaired to theirs all the time but call her a 'lucky lazy bitch' everytime she passes. Looking at the side of the computer screen she rolls her eyes as she has fourty-five minutes to get ready. Turning the laptop off she places it in her Nightmare Before Christmas schoolbag.

'Damn school.' It was the same thing she does every singel day for fivedays. Get her school shit together, place wallet in front zip, placed reading book in bag, find school books and pens, her hidden smokes and lighter and her make-up case. Throwing the bag on the kitchen counter she looks at her unifrom. A knee high black pletted skirt, a girls blouse button shirt but she wears a red long tight shirt under the school blouse, a black and white tie, long black socks, slip on black leather shoes with a 1inch heel and lastly a black school jacket with the schools symbol on the left breast part of the jacket. Most girls wear the white version but other girls wear the dark version like her.

"Mum where did I put my phone!" Aeirth walked into her mothers studyroom and saw a lady wearing a knee high white dress wearing a apron, bare foot, and blonde hair in a tight bun looking for her mop. The middle aged woman looked at her teenaged daughter and sighed.

"Have you looked at the empty fruite bowl in the hallway?"

"Nah I'll check." Walking away she went to the hallway and was over joyed to see her blackberry phone sitting in the bowl.

"Thanks mum!" Aerith called but heard a small "Kids these days are so forgetful...must be her fathers side of the family." Smirking she looked at the mirror to check on her make-up. Yeap everythings ready. Placing her phone in her pocket she walked past her big brothers room then stopped. It was a half and hours walk to school and there is no way in hell she wasnt going to talk to herself the way there. Opening his door she saw a eighteen year old boy with messy brown hair drowling in his sleep. Smirking she walked to the side of his bed and shaked him lightly. After six shakes a pair of dark blue eyes opened with annoyance.

"What is it Drangon Queen?"

Slightly offened she grumbled under her breath. "Can I PLEASE borrow your I-pod oh Powerful Oz."

He chuckled slightly as he climbed out of bed then strolled to his deck. Pulling out a greed I-pod with headphones he chucked it at her in which she caught with one hand. He knew that his little baby sister like the same kind of music he did and that she doesnt own a I-pod...yet. He dragged himself back to bed and threw the donna covers on himself. Dark blue eyes locked onto another pair of dark blue eyes.

"Thanks Blake."

Blake smiled softly as he looked at her little sister. Since their father ran off with another woman they looked after eachother and their mum. They sometimes have a play fight but never a real fight cause...hold on! They sometimes fight over the tv remote, chocolate, renting out dvd's and phone usage. But their cool when they dont fight over those four things. Aerith was about the leave the room when Blake said something.

"Becareful Dragon Queen. I heard from a mate of mine lastly night that a weirdo's going around these parts with the intension to kill. So when you walk to school watch your back and have the volume down or have one earpiece out."

Aerith turned around with a raised eyebrow as Blake looked dead serious. He would have offered to walk her to school but she declined saying that "I'm a big girl and if anyone messes with me at all their dead...or I'll call you Blake so stop yah bitching already!" Noding she placed on earphone in her ear and smiled her famous smile that always makes people smile back at her and it has always worked on emos and goths.

"I will Powerful Oz. See you soon Blake!" She closed the door lightly and left her older brother feeling a sudden dread feeling wash over him like he was never going to see her soft smile, hear her voice or see her brillant eyes shine with life again. Shaking his head he muttered.

"Nah Dragon Queen always comes home with a smile or in a pissy mood. The Dragon Kingdom shall rise again...when pizza gets here tonight." Rolling his eyes he layed back down and turned the tv on and silently watching Yu-Gi-Oh thinking.

'Damn that Mai has a hot rack on her.'

Ah yes! She made it to school in time to hear the bell. Well she did have fifteen minutes to kill so she went to the shops and bought a Monster drink and a bag of prawn chips. Smiling she pressed the off button on the I-pod and shoved it in her bag then skipped to access roll call.

A middle aged man walking out of the shadows with rope throw on his shoulder, a gun in his right hand and a hidden blade hidding in his jacket leaned against a brick wall watching the teenagers walk casualy in the high school ground. His breath was steady but his overly large eyes watched a certain teenaged girl stopping at the front of the school. He licked his lips as he took in her appearance. She looked like the girl that shattered his heart in high school all those years ago. Mandy Carlson she looked like Mandy but from afair she had one thing Mandy never had and that was a pair of dark blue eyes. His eyes followed her to the school until she disappeared in the schools.

'Mandy your life shall stop today by my hands and this blade.' He darkly thought of her death to him and it was sickly sweet to him. Smirking he waited for the bell to ring for first period and he was struting to the door.

It hasnt been even half and hour of the lession until the emergancy bell went off and the Principles voice sounded oddly urgent.

"Students Teachers! There is a manic man in the school with weapons! This is a real situation! I repeat this is not a drill!"

The students all paled and stared at the teacher shakingly told them hid in the storeage room. Aeirth paniced as her friend Zack pushed her in the back of the storage room. She shaked as there was a sound of gun fire that ecoed in the school. Shaking she pressed her face in her hands shaking like a leaf as Zack had a calm aura around him. Silently it didnt do anything to calm her down at all since only two people can do that and their safely at home...luckly shits. Shifting slightly she moved to Zack and hugged his right arm. Tears were falling down her faces as two more gun shots were heard.

"Calm down Aerith we are going to be alright." Zack was a very cute guy with red hair and green eyes. He has been her friend since first grade and people call them a cute couple but the thing is his really gay. Yeap her mate is gay and dating a collage guy. Sometimes he can act childish and his lover finds it really hot.

"Why is this happening?"

"No one is sure. Just stay quite."

All of the students either cried silently, praying or hugging their lover or friends. Aerith however frowned as she looked at two of her friends hugging eachother, Max and Hally they were going to be expecting a baby soon and from the looks of it she was terrified of dying, losing her baby and her boyfriend. As the teacher was about to count the kids the intercome was turned on and it wasnt the principles voice.

"Attensiona all students and teachers. Everyone is to report to the assembly hall or your beloved Principle will get his head blown off. Thank you all."

Shaking she got up along with her teacher and her fellow classmates. While they all walked in the hallway Aerith watched the year eights cry and shake badly as their teacher tried to calm them down. But there was a little boy crying for his mother and he looked ready to scream out. Walking to him she gently put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a light smile as he looked at her in shock.

"Its alright. I promise we will get out of this alive. You will be in your mothers arms soon kid just hang in there."

He slowly nod and wrapped his arms around her waist as they followed everyone to the assembly room. Once in ther she bit her bottom lip as a man was on the podem with a gun pointing at the Principles head as he was in his knees and bound.

"Find a seat!" The man screamed out. Soon the seats were full with scared students and teachers. Aeirth took a seat next to Zack while the young boy sat next to her on the right. Gently she brushed a piece of his black hair out of his youthful face. The gun man's eyes scanned the overly large group of students until his eyes landed on Aerith. She glaced back at him with frightful eyes that seemed to make his lips turn into a grin. In the first time in her life she felt a sudden feeling tingel down her back and her face paled. He was planning on hurting her or worse kill her.

"The girl on the sixth row sitting at the right handside end come here."

Looking down Aerith stood up slowly with legs feeling weak as she slowly make her way up to him. Walking up the oak stairs she stopped at the last step. Looking up she saw his blood lusted eyes with wicked grin that made her stomach twist. All eyes were on her and she felt like she was going to throw up from the unwanted attension she was getting. Keeping a brave face on she straighted herself up. This seemed to piss the manic off.

"Girl who looks like Mandy whats your name?"

"Aerith. Aerith Bloodstone."

He tilted his head to the side. "Bold much. Well 'Aerith' how would like to be rembered as the girl that died by my hands and infront of all of the class of 2010?"

Swollowing a lump in her throat she knew it. Death was going to be ripping her life out of her and leave her as a empty shell. It was like a horriable nightmare that she could not turn off or wake up of and go into her mother or brothers room for a comfort hug. Taking a deep breath she hissed out in a brave tone.

"Go to hell you lunatic." The room didnt have a sob or anything even the wind went quite. Mr Manic's eyes narrowed dangerously close.

"Maby you should reconsider what you just said 'brat'."

Aerith done something that would made her brother have a heart attack and her mother would faint from.

"Drop dead you fucking piece of shit. Leave Mr Ross alone and get the bloody hell out of OUR school and never return."

Mr Manic raised his knife and threw it at her shoulder that stained her white blouse to a deep crisome red. Screaming she crumbled to the ground. Fast as lightning the Manic retreated his hiddden blade and stuck it in Mr Ross's throat and slowly dragged it along his jagular that made the blood pour out like a waterfall until his head fell of his body. Everyone screamed loudly and Manic man went behind Aerith and picked her up by the back of her blouse. Painfuly yanking the blade out he harshly whispered in her ear.

"I always win Mandy. You should have gone to the winter dance with me."

"I...I'm not Mandy...I...I have never met you...in my life."

He smirked. "What life?" He raised the blade and plunged it in her stomach. Aerith felt the blade twist painfuly then visously yanked out and stabbed stab she takes she struggeled to breath. Each time it was harder and harder to keep the oxygen in her lungs and keep the flow to her brain. After the seventh time she fell to the ground in a bloody mess. Her vision was blurring out but she can see the Manic rasing a leg and kicked her ribs to the point that she heard a crack. Her body was slammed to the wall and her blood left a mess everwhere. With every bit of engery left she slowly lifted her head up. There was a line of blood dripping out of her mouth and she had one eye open while the other was painfuly shut. Spitting out the blood from her mouth she tried to take deep breaths but it sounded like she was hyperventilaing. Everything was going dark slowly and the Manic growled at the strong willed girl that looked like Mandy.

"Why wount you die!" The lifted up the gun and fired at her forehead. The last thing she saw was her mother, brother, Zac, Hally and Max smiling at her as they wear party hats at her last birthday three days ago.

Aerith opened her eyes and she was in a empty space with shadows creeping at forever. Looking down she saw that she was wearing her uniform that wasnt covered in her blood and there was no rips or anything. Lifting up her skirts she traced a finger on the smoother delicate skin that had no scaring or anything.

'What the hell is going on?' Looking around she slightly scared and confussed. Falling to her knees she pulled herself in a tight ball and cried. This was it. Her life was at a end and there was nothing she can do about it. No nothing not even now she was abled to live her dream of being a writter or even raise a family. No all of that was finished because of stabings and a shot to the forehead by a manic bastard. Suddenly there was a burst of light. Slowly she looked up to see a man with tan skin, wearing a white robe, a thing around his head like at hate and he was wearing a large golden key like necklase and he had something in his hand that she cant recall what they were called.

"Hello Aerith." His voice sounded like he knew everything about her. How in the hell did he get here?

"Do you know who I am?" He was asking her for his name.

"Shadi. Your from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime show." She whispered but was still in a tight ball. He nods twice.

"Do you know why you were killed?"

"I look like a girl named Mandy."

"Mandy was your mothers sister."

"So I dont care. Thanks to the Manic I was stripped away from the land of the living. I dont care whats happens to me now." Aerith looked down from Shadi's gaze.

"Well it seems that destiny intened you to be murdered. In the so called 'Yu-Gi-Oh' dimenstion there is a young girl that needs you help."

'Hmm my help. Yeah right I was smart mouth and I dont want a kid to do the same mistake as I did.'

"Not interested."

Shadi frowns deeply. "Her name is Hope and she has suffered greatly and that will get in the way of destiny. Your job is to stear her in the right direction on life and be her friend or sister figure. Both of you will help the Pharaoh and his host to defeat the evil Zorc."

Aerith growled at him but he wasnt affected by it. "Well Hope doesnt need me! She needs her friends and family not a dead teenaged spirit from another dimension! All I want is to be left alone here!"

"You will get over it sooner or later and when you do there is nothing to do but wonder these shadow lanes of endless darkness forever. Aerith...Hope's family abuses her, ignores her and she has no friends at all. If you dont go then she will take her own life."

"Then why doesnt Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea and Ryou Bakura help her out then? They can help her and stear her in the right direction rather than me!"

"They arnt aware that she lives. Hope goes to the same school as them, same grade and live near eachother yet like I said they arnt aware that she lives."

Aerith stood up and glare at Shadi. "Then make them."

Shadi stood his ground "I cant get involved with her life."

"You got involved in Yugi's life and you are too much of a bastard to help her out!"

Shadi walked two steps closer to her as if he was walking on a invisable pathway. Stopping he looked into her dark blue eyes.

"Please...Please I'm begging you help Hope."

Aerith frowned and looked down she felt ashamed of yelling at him. "Fine."

"Then its done." Shadi raised his hand and there was a flash of light and Aerith was gone.

'I pray to Ra that Zorc doesnt realise why destiny has sent Aerith to Hope. Let the wheel of destiny keep turning for both of the girls.
