The Flames Within the Ice
Tigone walked up to the doors of the duel dome. She was in desperate need of money, she had know where to go. Going to the richest man in town and asking for a job had seemed like a good idea when first conceived but as she approached the door it sounded worse than asking for funds to drain the ocean. Still she needed the money, she had lost it all in the fire.
##############################FLASHBACK##############################
It was a cool December night. So peaceful. Tigone went to bed early to try to get some sleep. Maybe he wouldn't come tonight, maybe he had given up. After all he hadn't snuck into her room to watch her sleep or trouble her dreams in months. She had finally begun to hope she had seen the last of him.
Maybe if I lock my door tonight. I can't keep living on maybe. Always hoping maybe he wont be around that corner or maybe when I close my eyes I won't see him there. He's everywhere. In my mind at night he tells me how he can't wait until it happens, but he never tells what the IT is
She couldn't help hoping he had gotten bored with her. Kissing her parents goodnight she went into her room and locked the door. How could she know he was already in there waiting for her to go to sleep. Tigone slept restlessly her dreams tormented by hes image. His words played over and over in her mind "Your mine" Then she smelt it. Smoke. It went down her throat stinging her nose and causing her eyes to water. shit
She thought as she rolled out of bed landing on her bedding she had cast off in her restless sleep. Not even thinking to get on her hands and knees and crawl she ran to the door she had to get Branden out he didn't know what to do in a fire. Not even feeling the door she grabbed the door knob. Screaming out in agony from the second degree burn she hit the floor. The room started spinning, it was all going dark. It was then she blacked out partly from the pain partly from inhaling too much smoke.
It was then he chose to come out of his hiding place. He had told his minions to set the house on fire when he gave the signal. He needed her family dead, not her not just yet.
can't go having my little toy breaking I'm not done playing with it just yet. I don't have all the information from her.
Picking Tigone up effortlessly as easy as if she was a feather Malik strode over to the window and picked up a chair and through it shattering the glass. Malik stepped outside and carried Tigone to a safe place on the side walk. He laid her down. "until next time my sweet" he whispered in her ear.
"Next might just be very soon," he said to himself as he walk away. After all he still needed valuable information he couldn't obtain from the source. Information she could provide him with.
Tigone opened her eyes. She could smell smoke still but only faintly and there were read flashing lights everywhere. She set up abruptly wishing she hadn't as the earth began to spin under her.
"shes awake," someone called. A man came and kneeled beside her, "everything is ok your going to make." He told her as he gently pushed her back onto her back and tucked the medical blanket closer around her shoulders.
"What happened," she asked then it all came flooding back, "Where are my parents? Is Branden ok?" She tried again to get up but couldn't get past the dizziness this time.
"I'm sorry miss they didn't make it," the man told as he got up to go get a stretcher. She then blacked out again. Tigone didn't remember much after that she had been forced to stay in the hospital a few days for her hand and after that she stayed at her fried Karla's estate. Karla had lost her parents at a very young age and her parents wealth had been left to her. At least she had someone to talk to. Someone who understood.

"Well here goes nothing," Tigone said to herself as she wiped away a tear and rang the door bell to Seto-Kaiba's Duel Dome.
