Am I alone?...

"Exodius attacks your life points directly and I win. Again"

"Come on dude that's like, the 10th time this week. When are you gonna learn you can't beat Aleksi?"

"Shut up Viola. C'mon lets rematch!"

"No Sky I think that's enough embarrassing loses for today."

I sweat dropped at that comment. 'Am I seriously that bad at duel monsters...'

My name is Sky. I'm 12 years old I have messy black hair, and brown eyes.

The guy I was just dueling is Aleksi. He as long dark brown wavy hair and is the best duelist In our school.

My annoying friend that happens to be a girl is Viola. She is blond has blue eyes, and is the same age as me (even though I'm like 16 days older than her). She claims she's better than me but we've never been able to finish any of our duels. Even though I totally would have won all of them.

"Fine then. Viola lets duel!" I said, excited to duel.

"No, I have to finish my other deck, then I'll duel you." She said, while rolling her eyes.

"What's wrong, scared your gonna finally lose?" I said, with a snarky tone of voice.

"Please. You've never beat me before." She replied.

"Well, you've never beat me either!" I shot back, getting annoyed.

"Guys break it up, school is over. The bell rang while you two were bickering." Aleksi said.

"Fine but you better have your deck ready tommarow." I said as I dean towards my house.

The pendent necklace my parents gave bounced on my plain red shirt.

Help Me...

"Who was that" I said as I looked around for the source of the voice.

When I didn't hear anything else I cautiously walked back to my house.

"Hey little bro, did you win?" My sister asked.

My sister's name is April. She is 17 and spends most of her time working on something on the computer. She has black hair put up in a ponytail and is wearing a white vest over a black shirt and black cargo shorts.

"Nope. I lost in 3 turns." I said while looking down at my blues cargo shorts and white sneakers.

"3 turns? That has to be a new record!" She said surprised.

"I'm going upstairs to fix my deck." I said as I walked upstairs, depressed.

'I don't get why I keep losing. My deck is fine.' I thought.

'Eh, I'll just sleep on it. I'm sure I'll think of something by tomorrow.' I thought, as I fell asleep.

I'm alone... aren't I...

'Huh... It's that voice again.' I thought as I looked around and found the source of the voice.

It was a girl that looks about my age. She was wearing exactly what I as wearing down to the pendant around my neck.

She had dark skin, black eyes, and straight snow white hair that went down halfway of her back.

"Are you ok" I asked her. She was siting in the corner of a cell with her knees tucked into her chest.

"I'm alone... And I'm never getting out of here. I'll never get help." She said as she retreated farther into the corner and looked at the floor.

"I'll help you" I said as I walked closer to the cell.

As I moved closer the cell disappeared and everything turned into a desert. In place of the cell was a line drawn into the ground.

"Leave me alone. I want to be alone." She said as she shrank into the corner of her box even farther.

I looked for a while before I walked to the opposite corner of the box and erased it with my foot.

She looked at me demanding why I erased her 'cage'.

"Well isn't it obvious?" I said while shrugging.

"Being alone isn't nearly as fun as having someone by your side." I said as I stuck my hand out.

"Wanna be friends?" I asked, with a smile on my face.

The girl looked up, eyes wide, then she grabbed my hand and stood up.

"My name's Sky. What's yours?" I asked she looked down and then looked into my eyes.

"My name... Is Skyler." She said.

Then she pulled me into a hug, surprising me.

Suddenly our pendents started flashing as we were both engulfed in a white light.

Before we both disappeared from the blinding light, Skyler whispered one final word into my ear

Thanks.
