Yugi walked through the forest,it was night and a full moon was out,he turned at the sound of running footsteps he turned behind him and noticed two adults running.A small boy was running alongside them,the boy had star shaped hair like his own, the boy tripped and the woman turned,it was then Yugi noticed the woman had a small scared child in her arms. "Yami come on!" the woman yelled frantically, the boy nodded and got up chasing after his parents Yugi followed them as they approached a cave,the woman headed inside along with Yami, the man stayed outside and brought out a sword standing guard.
Yugi headed inside the cave where the woman was talking to the child he didn't hear much but he heard the words "keep him safe".Yami nodded and huddled close to the other boy who seemed to be his brother, the sound of swords clashing filled Yugi's woman turned back to the two kids and blew light pink dust at the two which made them fall asleep against the cave the woman ran out where her husband lay dead on the ground and she proceeded to bring out her own sword and fight the cloaked men,the woman was stabbed and fell dead next to her husband as the snow started to fall.
That was when the dream ended.
Yugi awoke with a start and sprung up from his heard a chuckle and turned to where his brother Yami sat kneeling beside his bed, he was dressed in a pair of black leather pants,a black tank top, and knee length grey boots. Overtop he wore a black cloak with a hood, "morning Little One".Yugi scowled at the nickname his brother gave him "I don't like that name" Yami chuckled and ruffled his hair making Yugi whine and fix it glaring at his brother. "Get dressed, we have to move out today" Yami spoke turning and walked out of the tent,Yugi nodded and proceeded to get dressed himself in a pair of black pants,a black blouse,and a dark grey vest along with black boots he wore a black cape with a hood.
Yugi headed outside of his and Yami's shared tent squinting at the bright light he noticed many of the tents had already been taken down and many more followed."Hey Yug" came a voice from behind him,Yugi turned to see his best friend Jonouchi Katsuya. Joey had joined 6 years ago a year after Yugi and Yami joined and Yami became leader. Joey had blonde hair which fell in front of his eyes beside Joey also stood Ryou,Honda and Malik.
Yugi smiled and walked up to his friends "hey Jou,how's your arm doing?" Jou shrugged."It's better than yesterday and I can do a lot more with it,Lana gave me some ointment which she says will help".Yugi nodded and smiled noticing Lana who was the healer of the camp glaring at Jou. Though the shine in her eyes told Yugi it was just for play."So any idea where we're headed Yugi?" Ryou asked from beside Malik.
Yugi shrugged "Yami hasn't told me exactly where,though he said we're heading more up north to meet up with Leah and Sean's squads".Ryou nodded and headed off when someone called his name to help him with something. Yugi turned at the sound of Yami calling his name,when he turned around Yami was behind him."What is it?""you should go pack up your stuff,we leave in an hour" Yugi nodded and Yami left to speak with the others.
Yugi left and headed into the tent,he noticed Yami's stuff had already been packed and his suitcase lay on his bed. Yugi turned and started to pack up his stuff into his suitcase,while packing his clothes he started to pack the items beside his bed of which was a photograph taken when Yami was 4 and Yugi was a baby,their mother Amara was holding Yami in her arms while their father Thomas was holding Yugi on his shoulders.
Yugi quickly wiped a tear away as Yami came into tent,he noticed the photo in Yugi's hand and smiled sadly."I remember when that was taken" Yugi nodded and closed his suitcase "I do to".Yugi sat on the ground beside his suitcase and sighed "do you think we made the right decision to join the resistance? what would Mom and Dad say?".Yami sat down next to him with a smile "Mom and Dad were the leaders of the resistance,they were tired of the vampires ruling while the humans suffered.I'm sure they would say we made the right decision" Yugi nodded and sighed.
A soldier with jet black hair walked in and leaned against the pillar "we're all ready to go sir all the tents have been taken down yours is the last one" Yami nodded and stood up."And the fire pits?""we buried them sir""good we'll be out in a minute Jean".Once Jean had left Yami picked up his suitcase and turned towards Yugi "come on we should go" Yugi nodded and followed after his brother suitcase in hand,once they were out some of the men proceeded to take down the tent and pack it up.
After doing a final check on the camp Yami climbed onto his horse and turned towards the men."Let's get a move on,if we hurry we can make it to the camp before sunset".Yami started the march towards the North where it was all downhill from there, Yugi stayed behind but close enough to see Yami still,he talked with Jou and Ryou and noticed Yami speaking with Jason who was a good friend and a spy for he was half vampire but sides with the humans.
A couple hours later they arrived at the was much bigger then theirs and had twice as many climbed off his horse and headed towards two hooded figures, one was Leah,she had brown hair and hazel eyes,she was dressed in a black dress with black leggings underneath as well as black knee length boots, the other was Sean, he had jet black hair which was tied into a ponytail,he wore black trousers,a black shirt and a dark grey vest as well as black boots.
"Welcome Yami,I'm glad you made it alright" Leah spoke removing her hood, Sean following in nodded "yes I'm glad we did as well" Leah smiled and ordered some of the troops beside her to help with the unloading and setting up of their climbed off his horse and went to stand beside Yami, Sean noticed Yugi and smiled at him "I gather this is your younger brother". Yami nodded "yes this is Yugi my brother and second in command,Yugi this is Leah Crawford and Sean Hemming". Yugi nodded at the two and bowed.
Leah smiled and turned to Yami "shall we go over the plan for any faults?" Yami nodded "of course".All four of them headed into the main tent at the back and stood around a huge map. Leah pointed to a marked spot on the map "according to our Intel,their main camp is here and their supply tents are here".Yami nodded analyzing the spots "what is our approach?" "our plan is to destroy their supplies before they reach the capital" Sean answered."How far away is the capital from their camp?" Yugi asked curious, Leah pointed to a huge spot on the map "this is the capital right here,so I'd say a day or two".
An hour late everyone was gathered in the main tent to go over the plan."Alright listen up I'm only going over this once" everyone stopped talking and paid attention,they knew how serious the situation was, Leah pointed to spots on the map "Squad 1 you're going to go north and head towards the main camp and keep an eye on things,if you see anything that looks bad radio myself, Yami or Sean".She pointed to another spot "Squads 2 & 3 your's going to take the soul trail and head towards the supply tents where Yami,Sean and myself will be waiting,you're to blow up all 3 tents not to leave a single weapon behind".Finally she pointed to another spot and turned to the final squad "Squad 4 you're going to take the East trail and meet up with Squad 1,once the supply tents are destroyed the vampires will start coming to fight,you're to destroy the vampire before the reach us,radio us if the situation is too harsh and we'll come help".Everyone nodded and some were more nervous than others "alright dismissed we leave an hour before the sun sets".
After the debriefing Yami and Yugi headed towards their tent, Yami sighed as he slid off his boots and cape,he could tell Yugi was uneasy about tomorrow's mission."Hey" Yugi turned towards Yami "tomorrow will be fine don't worry" Yugi nodded with a smile. "Can I really trust you with that?" Yami smiled "probably not,but I promise everything will be fine".Yugi nodded and changed into a loose white shirt and pair of black pants,Yami doing the same. They crawled into bed and Yami had soon fallen asleep,Yugi however was still couldn't help shake the feeling that something bad would go wrong.
Sighing Yugi crawled out of his bed and snuck in beside opened his eyes and smiled at his brother "go to sleep Yugi" Yugi nodded and cuddled up to his brother and soon fell asleep.
Screams
That's what Yugi heard as walked around seeing fire and pieces of weapons, he saw the bodies of the troops he met yesterday lay dead on the ground, vampired drinking their blood and killing more."Yugi! Run!" a voice shouted,Yugi turned to see his brother protecting him, however the vampire got the upper hand and stabbed Yami in the stomach."NOO!" Yugi cried as the vampire sank its teeth into his brother's neck and drank his blood.
The vampire then lunged at Yugi and slashed his chest blood spilling out and Yugi fell to the ground and closed his eyes as the screams died down.
He closed his eyes and then.
Darkness
