~Prologue~
In all of the world, the sun will shine, The moon will rise, the sun will set, there will be light everywhere, from dawn till dusk, a shed of light, will always appear.
Except for one place.
It was cold, and dark. Fear was in the eerie noise. The noise, could strike a blow at any minute. The noise, was silence in the shadows, silence in the wind, no echo's, no crackles, nothing but a quiet street of trash, a quiet street of shadows, a quiet street, of fear. A swift figure danced with the shadows of night as the full moon seem to glare down on that street, as if it were a wench, or a criminal, its rays of calming light, seemed to miss that certain street, as if it was angry, as if it didn't want to share its light with that spot, and its children, the stars, seemed to follow its parent, not shining its light on that cold, dark, eerie place, and as if it were shadow vs light, good vs evil, the shadows, ruled all in that street, the cold dark street, the eerie place of shadows, dancing shadows, and lost souls, souls, that danced in the eerie shadows and sang in the cold breeze, it sang a silent song of lost hope, and painful eternity's of blackness, shadows, doubt, and evil. Birds, do not fly above that street, animals have fled from that street, even the rats dont go near it, it is a place of fear, a place of danger, a place which no soul would dare to enter, not even the craziest of people dare go near it.
Except for one.
A swift, dark figure sleeked in the shadows as if they were aiding her, to be out of sight, it crept down towards the dark stone floors, past the dead, silent trees, away from people, or humanity. The figure, hated the silence, but craved it, it craved fear, it craved pain, it lived off it. Pain, was all it needed, it didn't need love, it didn't need help, it didn't need a friend.
Then, it stepped out, into the last ray of light, it revealed to be a hooded figure, a black cloak with a red trim, and a black duel disk with a blood red trim, on its neck, was a locket, a locket shaped like an oval, with swirl patterns even legend can't understand , on the rim of the hood, there were tears, rips, cuts. Then, the hooded figure looked up ever so slightly, to reveal to ice blue eyes, that seemed to pierce into the darkness, and cut into the black of night, like a pin through a wall, a knife through a vegetable.
The figure, then shed a tear, a tear of sadness, of loneliness, of broken dreams, and shattered hope, a tear of anger and destruction, a tear of pain, a tear of lost love.
Love.
That was the one word, the figure hated, but needed, Love never made things right, love always interferes with schedule and work, but work to the figure, was far more than writing paper or baking cakes or mixing up different coloured liquids to make more strange substances, more than solving murder mysteries, no they were the mystery, no one understood what their work was, or what hard work even MEANT.
Then, the figure spoke "10 years, 10 years how does the time fly, it seems like yesterday, that all happened, the day that ruined my life, forever, but I dont need help, do I? No I dont, I dont, not help , not a friend, nor love...love...I lost my only love 10 years ago, the day that happened..."
-Flashback (ten years)-
Tap. Tap. Tap. A young girl did as she tapped against a desk, and seemed to be waiting for someone, she stared out of the window at the top of a house , at the pouring rain that seemed endless, the sound of it, was so mysterious but yet, so soothing, like something exciting was going to happen, but was taking forever to take place. She loved the sound of rain, it made her feel safe, she loved sunny mornings, it was warm then, but she missed one thing...
Suddenly, a black limo appeared, revealing a man in his late 30's, wearing a long black coat, black trousers, brown shoes and a black hat, holding a brown briefcase in one hand, and a small box wrapped in silver wrapping paper in the other, as he stepped out of the limo, he sighed as he shoved off paparazzi and reporters "Mr. Chairman, can you give the latest report of the constant quakes happening" The man just shoved them off, replying with 'No comment'.
As he entered his house, which was more life four houses crammed into one large estate, with gardeners and maids dressed in pinafore always said "Good afternoon" or "How was your trip" or "Can I get you anything sir", it was always the same, shoving them off to just get to see his family.
The second the man stepped through the door, the young four year old girl who had jet black hair, sapphire blue eyes, freckles spread out on her face, and a small locket around her neck, wearing a blue nightgown with a bunny on the front and pink slippers with a crown on, ran up to the man and gave him the biggest hug he had not had in ages "Daddy your home!" The little girl cried as he returned her hug, this is what he needed after three months away in Russia.
The man put her down as he approached his wife. His wife was in her early 30's, with long red hair, and sapphire blue eyes, she had a nice completion and was wearing a red nightgown with a silk dressing gown.
He kissed his wife on the cheek before heading out to the kitchen to grab a sandwich. His wife followed him in and began talking to him "Our angel, she's been waiting for a good on three hours for you to arrive, she loves you so much, it's a shame WORK keeps you busy. The man, got annoyed when she said WORK in that tone of voice and replied " Don't get me bloody started Chris, I've spent three months with a couple of loonies who want to become part of the friggin Kre Star (his company) should have been put straight in the bloody straight jacket." Chris looked Horrified at the man's language "Dave!" (Dave is dad, Chris is mum) Chris then turned around to see her daughter, with tears in her eyes.
"Mummy? Daddy? Why are you fighting?" She cried very hard at the word 'fighting', it was a word she dreaded more than anything, even more than HIM. Dave came down and picked up his daughter, and sat him on his lap. "Honey, we're not going to split up, I love your mum too much to do that, speaking of which, is there anyone YOU like?" The little girl blushed very lightly, there was ONE person she liked, but was never going to reveal it to ANYONE, not even her parents "Umm no no-one at all nuh uh no way hosai"
She was about to leave the room, when her father grabbed her arm.
"Wait, Angel, I have something for you" He handed her a small box wrapped in silver wrapping paper , she wondered what it could be, but then decided to open it in the morning, one, so she could go to sleep, two, so her dad could go to sleep. She rushed upstairs , and entered her room, which had posters of the fortune cup all over the wall, her own duel disk, which was white with a blue trim, a model of Carrie Jones, one of the only female turbo duelists in New Domino City, she swore she would be the best turbo duelist in the world, as soon as she got her deck, of course, it also had various pictures of D-Wheels, and a map of satellite, she also said, once she was old enough, she would try and connect The city To Sattelite and reunite the two nations, her friends always said "Dream on" and that was what she was doing, enough thinking, she slipped between the covers, closed her eyelids so the last thing she saw was the small box on her desk, then she drifted off, after what seemed like an eternity.
"Honey! It's 8'00 o'clock! Time to get up! The girl awoke from her slumber at long last, to hear her mother calling her from the kitchen.
"Honey! Come on! Your father wants to see you open your present!" Her mother called again.
She had forgot about the small box on her desk, she quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed her pink dressing gown, and rushed down the carpeted staircase, through the endless maze of corridors, and into the posh dining room. She saw her father and mother talking over a cup of coffee, and a good portion of eggs, waffles, baked beans, bacon, and mushrooms. She grabbed her cereal and poured it into a bowl, then got her blue stool and reached for the milk, she then poured the milk into the bowl, and put a spoon into her bowl, aged four, she was very grown up, she then grabbed a glass from out of the cabinet, and then got the orange juice from out of the fridge, then brought her tray from the kitchen side, to the family table where her parents were currently discussing the guest quarters of the house.
"Daddy, I'm going to open it now ok?" Her father quickly finished his black coffee and replied "Open it then Angel, go on." She tore off the tissue paper and her face light up, it was the gift she had always wanted, always needed.
"My own deck? Daddy! I love you thank-you! You're the best Daddy! I love you both so much! When can I duel you daddy?" Her father's face fell from happy to sad in an instant "Yes dear, about that.." Chris knew what would happen next. The girl stopped her father from talking.
"Work, I know, it's always is daddy, don't worry, I'll just duel my friends..." Dave knew that his angel was heartbroken, but he was working for her future, he loved her too much to see her without all of this, so he worked for months to get her the best things money could buy.
Dave hugged his angel and said "You best be getting ready for school know ok?" The girl nodded and quickly rushed to her dressing room.
It had hangers, full of dresses, jeans, jackets, tops, uggs, shoes, shirts, scarves, jewellery, you name it she had it. She went down to her school uniform isle and picked out her white shirt, her black skirt which was just above the knee, her black tie with golden stripes, her grey leggings and her black ankle ugg boots.
After she got dressed, she put her jet black hair up in a ponytail, and chose two cherry clips to put in either side, then she put on some cherry lip gloss, and thought she didn't look too bad, maybe she even looked 5 years old! Then she rushed into the bathroom and brushed her teeth for 2 mins, then swirled mouthwash in her mouth for 2 mins, then grabbed her blue coat with a fake fur hood, and rushed down the stairs to her mother.
"You look great sweetie" Her mother told her, whilst smiling. Logan glanced at her mother. She was dressed in a long black skirt with a white shirt and black jacket.
"You look nice mummy, very pr—rr—oo—fff—s—kian—llll-" she had trouble saying some words, but none the less, she jumped in her mother's 4x4 as her mother corrected her daughter's statement, and fixed the last of her eyeshadow, then grabbed her keys to her car, but made sure to drop by the petrol station.
"Good Mornin Mrs. Baker! How are you today!" said Mr. Green, the shop owner, Mr. Green was a good friend of the Baker family, and the shop owner.
"Hello honey, do you want some chocolate?" He stared at the girl, as she replied yes, her mother gave her some money as she scampered off to the chocolate isle. Minutes later, she came back with a big chocolate bar for break, said goodbye to Mr. Green, and ran back to the car
"That littlun, she's gonna be destined for great things..." Said , then he laughed, saying he was sounding like one of theose magical wizards.
On the way there, The girl was in deep thought, 'I feel so strange, someone, or something, is calling out to me, but i can't hear them, I can't see them, who are they , are they...my deck? Are they calling to me? The spirits of my deck? No, couldn't be, im not like Jaden Yuki or Yugi Muto, I can't see duel spirits, but why can I hear them huh!'
She suddenly found herself in a galaxy of stars, whizzing past her, she was floating in midair, she called and called, but no noise came out, it was silent. Then, out of the mist, a window of some sort appeared, showing a duelist hurting other people. She thought to herself 'who is that?' Then, she seen the hooded figure look up, and recognized, it was her!
"Honey! Wake up dear! You've fallen asleep!" The girl awoke to find herself by the school gates, staring at her mother.
"Honey, are you ok?" It took her a few minutes to pull herself together, but managed to nod.
"Mummy, I'm fine, I just didn't get alot of sleep last night, im fine now though! Bye mummy! See you later!" The small Baker quickly unstrapped herself from the seatbelts grasp and lifted herself from her once uncomfortable chair-bed, grabbed her fluffy bag pack and ran toward the main building.
"Wow thats so cool Lol!" Lol was the little girls nick name, as she showed them her deck "My daddy got them, he is so amazing, i love him, even if he didn't get me this deck and look, he's got you all monster cards too!" All of Lol's friends were gobsmacked. Lol's dad was so generous, it was unbelievable. Then, the school bell rang and everyone rushed indoors, ready for another days hard work.
First it was English. The teacher was called Miss James, "Ok class, what book are we reading today?" Lol was the first to put her hand up (NOTE: this is a made up book, not a real one) "Yes Lol?" Lil said they were going to read 'The Fox who played with fire'
"Very good! Lol, you can read the first chapter."
Lol rushed up to the front of the class, where her friends Marie, Charlie, Ann, Muffy, Celia, Keira, Tom and Craig were watching her with anticipation in their eyes.
"The Fox was bored one day, so he decided to take a walk.
he went for a walk in the forest where he said hello to Betty Bird and Owen Owl.
He also said hello to Henrietta Hare and Rebecca Rabbit, who were having a picnic.
He waved to Mother Goose's Babies, who were learning to swim.
He also waved to Brown Bear, but never make Brown Bear angry or he will eat you for his tea!
Then, he saw a tent. He went into the tent, and looked around.
The tent had cans of s-s-soup and beans, and sleeping bags.
Then, Fox went outside of the tent, and saw something.
He saw a camp fire which was not out.
He thought fire looked nice.
Fox decided to play with the fire, but his mother said "Never play with fire"
He ignored his momma's warning and began to play with fire.
His tail, then caught on fire, it was very hot.
He cooled off the fire in crystal river, but his long fluffy tail had been burnt off!
He went home, and his momma put him to bed, and warned him never to play with fire again,
His tail grew back, but we never went near fire agin."
Lol then went back onto the floor, as everyone in her class clapped, she had never read a story out loud before, and was very excited for the next book they would read tomorrow, she loved looking at pictures, and their different colours, and what the backgrounds looked like, she would go to a place like that someday, and see a beautiful waterfall like that for real. She always loved nature, and hated it if people stuck gum on trees or if people crushed rare flowers on purpose.
Next up was maths, they were learning to Add and Take Away numbers, they were set a sheet to do, and in no time at all, the big pink timer on top of the big chalk board had been set for 15 mins. Lil's answered the questions all correctly
4+4=8
2-1=1
2+5=7
10-6=4
4+6= 10
"Full marks go to Marie! Charlie! Thomas! And Lol! Please come up to get your bar of chocolate now." All the grinning faces approached the golden box which had small bars of chocolate inside them, they were only for smart people, or people that had been good, or for free time (golden time). It was break now, and Lil's group of friends gathered round her new deck again, only to be approached by Thomas Green, the toughest kid in reception, and his two followers, Daniel and Wayne.
"Oooh what did daddy-kins but his little honey bunch now" Said Thomas as he barged his way past Charlie and towards Lol.
"Shove off Thomas," Charlie said as he picked himself off of the ground and toward his friends,
"No, I wont shove off, Charels. I want to see this stupid, pathetic deck deck." Thomas said, then laughed, as his cronies laughed with him. He was a cruel little boy.
Lol was hurt by this, her deck was the best deck in the world. "It's not stupid," Lol replied to Thomas.
He looked round and began laughing his head off even more.
"HAHAHAHA Your deck is so stupid, it's so gay, and so is your family." Lol didn't know how much more she could take of this, she should have told a teacher, but she wouldn't be paralyzed any longer.
"My family is perfect, how would you know what my life is life Thomas" Thomas still carried on laughing, not caring that Lol's eyes were filling with rage and anger as he spoke.
"Oh your family is so perfect, but your daddy-kins don't love you, that's why he is always away, because he doesn't want to see you, he regretted the day you were born and only buys you things to get you out of his way. HAHAHAHAHAHA YOUR SO WEAK!" He laughed. His cronies stopped laughing now, as they thought Thomas was being hurtful to the poor raven-haired girl.
Silence is the most eerie noise. Lol didn't reply.
"Oh too scared to reply are we Miss Baker!" Thomas mocked, as he made a face. Then, he froze still, not knowing what fear this little girl would cause him in a few moments.
Lil opened her eyes, they were ice blue, almost white.
"Lil! Something is wrong with your eyes!" Lil didn't listen, instead she screamed as she flew up into the air, as a white orb surrounded her body, making sharp fire balls shoot toward the ground and toward the school, all the kids ran inside as Lil fell to the ground, only to be caught by her friend, Charlie( it's a boy).
When she awoke in the hospital, she couldn't see anything, she thought she had her eyes closed but they were open. Then she realized something. She was blind. She screamed. Her parents rushed in to see her crying, they knew what had happened, but they couldn't turn their back on her now, could they?"
-End of Flashback-
The figure, which looked feminine, stood in the shadows. It's cape blew in the small breeze, and it's eyes were hidden. A small smile was revealed on her lips, asa stream of tears managed to find there way onto her cape and into the wind.
"Looks like they could abandon me, I've been alone from that day for ten years, and look how I have grown." As quick as a flash, she was gone, but not forgotten.
A small pair of eyes had been watching her the whole time, like an alley cat, waiting for its next victim to creep across and then they strike, but then, the eyes disappeared, only leaving a small trail of dust in its mist.
The hooded figure smiled from the shattered window, and said one thing "Tomorrow, is another day, but not for good."
