Chapter 1: Falling
Yugi's POV
Yugi woke with a gasp, his hair sticking to his sweaty face and wide terrified eyes frantically scanned the room. Before Yugi had met Yami, he had nightmares every night, and now that Yami was gone the nightmares returned with a vengeance.
Yugi sighed when he realized that he was in his room and no longer trapped within the darkness of his nightmare. He looked over to where his clock was and read that it was 5:01am, he was up an hour earlier than usual. Might as well get ready for school, there was no way he would be able ro fall back asleep.
Oh joy, another day surrounded by morons. Yugi stiffened when he heard that frighteningly cold voice again. Along with the return of the nightmares also came Shadow. Shadow would have been the spitting image of Yugi if it weren't for the grey-toned skin and the pitch black hair and eyes.
Shadow laughed and appeared infront of Yugi just like Yami used to do. What's the matter Mou Hiteri no boku, Yugi flinched when he heard Shadow use the name that only Yami could call him, still not used to hearing me in your head?
Yugi tried to ignore the way that Shadow starred at him as he got ready for school, but like always it scarred him. Shadow always looked at Yugi as if he were waiting for something, his eyes were impatient, hungary, and cold, always cold.
When Yugi was dressed for school he went back over to his bed and pulled out a journal from in between the matresses. Shadow snorted at Yugi when he saw him pull it out.
Why do you even write in that thin? Shadow asked, It's not as if anyone else is going to read it and even if someone did find it, they're not going to care about what's written in it. He sneered.
Yugi looked down at his journal and thought about all his past enteries, even the ones he wrote before he met Yami and all his friends.
"I don't want anyone to read it," Yugi said quietly.
Then why write in it? Shadow asked.
"So I can know if and when I'm going to break," Yugi told him. Shadow smiled and that hungary look was back in his eyes again.
Yugi opened his journal and wrote about the dream he had during the night.

6:47am
I am falling again. It's so black that I can't see anything, but I can hear voices. The darkness tries to trick me into thinking that I'm not falling, but I can feel my body being pulled down. Down to my end. The voices around me are also telling me that I am falling, that nothing can stop me, that nothing and no one will help me. Those voices, my friends' voices, fallow me as I fall, fall, falling
Always falling.
