Chapter 2
"When you're in prison"
A/N: I know that I haven't gotten any reviews yet but I don't care
I loved writing this LOL
Thanks to the wonderful author of inside the walls of the Domino Prison for you're kick ass story inspiring me to finally get around to writing one... Because in my opinion there aren't enough of them! (I need cappuccinos to keep me awake while I write this o)
The morning after
Valon yawned aloud, lifting his weary head up off the pillow he was lying on.
He could faintly see almost one whole ray of sunshine seep through the iron bars above him.
"Shit" he cussed as he rolled onto the hard grimy floor. This wasn't a dream, Valon was here for good.
He let his aqua coloured pools adjust as he stretched himself up onto his feet and prepared for the day ahead of him.
"Six am" he yelped, stripping himself bare and throwing on the, oh so elegant attire that the inmates had to wear in the mornings.
Loud noises and groans could be heard in the cells along side him.
Valon shuddered to think about what they had been dreaming about or worse doing to one another last night.
"At least the cells are single ones" he mumbled under his breath.
Little did he know, that did not make any difference at all.
Suddenly loud and fast footsteps could be heard outside of his cell. The voices suddenly died down. There was an instant chill in the air as there was every morning when the Warden walked along his most favoured row of cells.
The sound of keys rattling was imminent and you could hear thudding and jerking as each cell door was opened.
Valon looked at himself quickly in his tiny mirror before his door was shoved open.
He hated the way he looked. His hair was all over his face and the pair of bright orange overalls did not please him in the slightest.
All of a sudden a white haired man was standing outside of his cell in a police officers uniform worn very tightly.
He pointed to Valon then grabbed him by the arm.
"Ahh" Valon winced as the feisty eyed officer poked him in the back hard with his club.
"Next time it won't be your back I poke" He whispered devilishly into his ear.
Valon stood silently next to a row of other inmates in orange coloured overalls.
He looked at the man who had whispered into his ear. He was standing proudly by him and waiting for the man in the long black coat to approach.
The warden walked past each inmate with a cold as ice demeanour.
His deep blue eyes were like swimming pools and his hair auburn brown.
He made his way through each inmate on this dingy and very dirty row of cells, stopping only to criticise or dish out a punishment to anyone who had "misbehaved"
"Make sure that Amelda has learned his lesson will you?" he ordered.
The officer standing next to Valon, who was at the end of the line nodded quickly before running down the stairs and into another part of the prison.
The inmates all looked up at the hardened warden hoping that they would not be next on his list of "Punishments"
He was almost by Valon when he stopped and turned around.
He looked into the eyes of a terrified little guy who looked no older than 16.
He had whitish grey hair and looked bore a striking resemblance of that nasty officer before.
"Morning Ryou" he snarled.
Ryou stood there shaking in his skin.
"Morning sir" he trembled.
"Do you have anything to report?" the warden asked with a hint of impatience in his voice.
Ryou looked down at the ground and shook his head.
Valon was puzzled by his expression. It was almost as if this little white haired boy was hiding something.
The warden's expression grew colder and angrier.
He slapped him hard across the face until he flushed beet red in pain.
Ryou held in his pain and shut his eyes.
"What did you just say?" Seto Kaiba asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Nothing sir" the poor little guy yelled back.
Seto knew that Ryou would crack eventually. He just smiled evilly and continued to walk along until he reached the new boy Valon.
"Who or what are you?" he sneered with his arms crossed.
Judging by what had just happened, you called this Warden "Sir" at all times or else.
"Valon sir"
Seto smirked to himself and patted Valon on the head.
"Well I am sure that you're new inmates will make you feel right at home"
Seto strode past Valon with a sneer before giving them the all clear to go in to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Valon stood alone for a second, ignoring a creepy looking purple eyed inmates friendly wink.
By the time he had reached the cafeteria, everyone was already sitting down yelling and eating, well some were eating.
Valon lined up and held out a plastic blue bowl. He was then handed some sloppy looking white starch with what appeared to be oats in it.
He surveyed the gruel like mush and scrunched his nose at it.
"What's the matter?" a voice from behind said.
"The grub here not good enough for ya?"
Valon spun around, still holding onto his tray and bowl.
"Don't mind him man" A short brown haired guy added, tapping Valon on the shoulder.
The blonde guy who had been joking earlier let out a loud laugh.
"Na the food is shit here" he replied, smoothing his blonde tatty hair out of his face.
"Oh yeah?" the brown haired inmate asked.
"Then why do you eat it?"
"I don't" The blonde retaliated in a cocky voice. Like he was so high and mighty.
"Oh just because you got a pal who's a..." the other one was going to say something when the blonde cut him off.
"Shut up will ya?" he warned.
Valon was standing there completely confused. At the same time happy that someone wasn't jumping up from behind him and trying to unman him or jab a knife into his back.
"Ah excuse me" Valon piped up. Following the two loud mouths to a table.
"Why the hospitality?"
"Well Joey can't resist newbie's" the brown haired guy repiled in a joking voice.
"What do you mean?" Valon asked cautiously.
"Oh nothing like that man" The blonde cringed, " geez I gotta girl waiting for me on the other side". He then gives his fellow inmate an evil glare.
"Thanks a lot Tristan now you made me sound like I wanted to root him ha"
Tristan rolled his eyes and began to eat at the so called porridge.
"See I can pick out which crooks in here are alright if you know what I mean?"
Joey informed Valon.
"Oh" Valon nodded.
"What you mean?" he asked.
"Let me explain" Tristan said intervening.
"You see when you're in prison there are a few" "Well lets just say types of cons in here".
"Oh I know that" Valon replied. "I have seen documentaries and movies and stuff".
A guy sitting next to Valon with shaggy hair suddenly burst out laughing.
"You think that's gonna save ya kid?" he then clapped his hands and started rolling on the floor in the cafeteria.
There was an instant cheer from the inmates watching.
Just then a red and blonde haired guard came running into the café and picked the lunatic up off the floor.
A few inmates whistled at the innocent looking guard, but he ignored it and led the mad man out into one of the solitary cells.
"That's Gutter boy Jim" Joey whispered.
"He was raped when he was eight by three of his uncles in an alley by a gutter" Tristan explains.
"Or so he says" Joey adds.
"That's were all of his murders took place" Tristan continued, shaking his head at the middle aged man who was screaming and thudding the whole way to the confinement.
"How many did he kill?" Valon asked, never thinking that someone like him would be asking these sorts of questions in a million years.
They both shrugged.
Valon shuddered at the thought of these murderers just like Jim that surrounded him.
Joey and Tristan proceeded to inform Valon about the "Types" that lurk in the prison walls.
"We're telling you this cause we, "I dunno pity ya I guess" Joey adds.
Valon raises an eye.
"Why?" he asked innocently.
Tristan started to laugh.
"Never mind newbie" he muttered.
"Okay first off there are the pshyco's" Joey continued
"I m talking off their nut" "holy shit" "eat their young kinda a guys" Joey said in a heavy Bronx accent.
"Take those two over there" Tristan said, eyeing the two identical inmates with white blonde hair and dark purple eyes.
"The Deadly Duo we call em" Joey adds, looking at the two oddly.
"Marik and Malik Ishtar" Tristan said.
Valon looked over at them and gasped.
They sat alone and noone seemed to bother them, despite their odd appearance.
"Bakky lets em off with shit cuz they know all this Egyptian gang stuff and let me tell ya, their ways of torture are not nice" Tristan added.
"Bakky?" Valon asked. Remembering that name from the other night.
"Bakura" Tristan said curling his lip in hatred of the half Egyptian Sergeant.
"Second in charge and a complete wank" Joey said lowering his voice as he remembers a painful encounter with that officer when he was sent here.
"That prick has a lot to answer for" Tristan coldly snarled, looking over at the cocky white haired man.
"The guy with the rod" Valon thought to himself.
Valon was now shaking as he feared for what that sergeant would do to him.
Bakura was standing over by the two evil twins and exchanging something inside a brown paper bag.
"Still fresh" Marik smiled with an evil grin.
Ok so Marik wasn't as bad as his slightly older and more aggressive brother Malik Ishtar (by about three minutes)
there wasn't really that much of a difference. They both killed their parents in a furious rage three years ago.
"They slit their mothers throat and took it out" Tristan whispered lowly.
"Then Malik cut out both of his dads eyes and squashed them right in front of their mother" Joey added with intensity as he told the tale of the Ishtar killing sprees.
"That was only the half of it" Tristan said, sticking out his tongue at the thought of it all.
"What they did afterwards was worse".
"No what they did to their other victims was worse" Joey butted in.
Tristan nodded his head in agreement.
"Why what did they do?" Valon asked, for some weird reason he wanted to hear more, even though it would make him fear the two more.
"I'm sure they'll tell ya" A voice echoed into Valon's Ear.
Joey clenched his teeth as he saw who had just decided to approach the new guy.
Valon turned around to see three rather tall and large males in stretched out overalls looking down at them.
"Whaddya want Keith?" Joey hissed.
Tristan could feel his fists clench as he thought about what these three men were capable of doing, and what they did do, to the likes of poor little Ryou.
Keith was the largest and toughest looking out of the three. He had tattoos on his arms, "I also got one on my…" "But you'll get to see that later my new play mate" Keith whispered gravely into Valon's ear.
His voice was raspy and his breath smelled of one million cigarettes.
Valon didn't say anything. He sat there and took Keith's words in with fear and innocence.
"Get lost Bandit" Joey jumped up off the table. The bowl of porridge in front of Valon smashed onto the floor.
Bakura, who was still leaning in and chatting privately to the Ishtar men, rolled his eyes and sighed. He did not like to be disturbed when he was doing business. Especially not by the likes of Joey Wheeler, petty robber and Tristan Taylor his mortal in crime.
"You want another fight bitch?" Joey growled, throwing his arms out.
"Come and get me".
Bandit Keith (as he was known) rose to the challenge and was about to begin a full on fist fight when Bakura walked over.
"Well well well" He sarcastically dripped.
He stroked his club repeatedly in a warning kind of way and smiled at the two blonde delinquents.
"Joey Wheeler" he licked his lips.
Joey went silent and backed away from the fight.
"Cant keep away from trouble can we?" he queried.
Valon and Tristan observed the body language between the two.
Bakura obviously had an impressive power over Joey.
Bakura let his white bangs dangle over his head as he leaned in until his mouth was on the tip of Joey's left ear.
"Perhaps you need a repeat performance of solitary confinement" he hissed proudly letting Joey shiver with a secret fear and dread.
Bakura looked over at Keith who was smirking with his other two fellow tormentors, Spike and Weevil. They were both a lot less dangerous looking but just as nasty...
"I don't see what you are laughing about you blonde piece of trash" Bakura snarled at Keith in his well defined accent.
"I think a little chat with Mr Kaiba is in order don't you?" Bakura said, eyeing up the two blonde criminals.
Joey gritted his teeth as did Keith.
A trip to the warden's office is not pleasant. Then again for Joey, a trip to Bakura's was worse.
Bakura then turned away and walked back over to the two Twins.
"With that ass on their side" "the Ishtars don't need to worry about anything"
Tristan said lowly.
That would explain why no one dared touch the Ishtar boys. No that anyone would dare anyway, but the fact that they had the likes of Sergeant Bakura on their side made it even harder for the sisters of the block to get into them.
After breakfast, the inmates all proceeded back to their cells where they would prepare for various jobs and duties around the prison.
After one of his many unpleasant visits with the warden, Joey and Keith returned, both a little worse for wear.
Keith had a fresh purple rim around his eye, while Joey rubbed on his arm, blood was seeping out of his uniform.
Valon observed the two blondes as they head their separate ways, letting their new wounds heal in time as most of Kaiba's lashings tended to.
Joey and Tristan kept Valon by them over the next few days, explaining all of the different inmates in full detail to him.
Valon was very grateful for this.
"Stay away from Ryou whatever you do" Tristan informed Valon as they walked into the laundry room.
The laundry room was a mass of steam and wet towels.
Valon was able to find his way to the large basin and began to work without being asked as he was terrified of not obeying this Seto Warden.
Joey and Tristan stood by Valon and were continuing their chat on the inmates.
"Ryou is an okay guy and all its just you don't wanna get yourself in more shit" "And since Kaiba is on his ass at the moment" "We steer clear" Joey said in an ordering voice.
Valon nodded and took on board everything that Joey and Tristan said. Like they were well respected authority figures who were nice enough to look out for him and show him the ropes.
"He is also being hounded by the sisters" Tristan added. Pulling a heap of towels and bedding out of the basin.
"The sisters?" Valon asked.
"Do I wanna know who they are?" he half joked.
"Yeah well you already know them" "It's that Keith asshole and his gang of pussies" Joey growled squeezing on the soaked linen to ring it out.
Valon gasped.
"Them?"
Tristan nodded, rinsing more dirty sheets.
"Now you know why they're called the sisters right?" Joey asked.
"Yeah" Valon nodded. Off course he knew. He was not a fool
He knew what prisoners with that name were like.
They were the same as that Bakura.
"Why don't they just screw each other and get it over with?" Valon thought as he felt the soapy water rub against his skin.
"If they wanna take you" "come and see me"
Joey pointed to himself with a high sort of honour
that's the type of person that he was.
Joey always looked out for the little guy.
He always had done, even through all of his years as a street punk with Tristan.
The three inmates continued to chat about the other inmates on their block.
Weevil- the self righteous murderer who enjoys anything that Bandit Keith does. Do not be fooled by his height and dorky appearance. Behind that weird hairstyle and those thick rimmed glasses lay a serpent most vile in the form of a human con man.
Once one of the most taunted and prone to midnight visits from Keith himself, Weevil quickly learned that in order to avoid the torture, Join the gang and endure the pain.
"Weevil basically worked his way up" Tristan said with a shudder.
Valon knew exactly what "Working ones way up" on a prison gang scale would mean
Rex- the fiery haired follower of Keith.
He enjoyed jabbing spikes into people for pleasure as a kid and had spent most of his time in and out of locked wards until he decided to slit open a few nurses landing him and the sister's life sentences. Once considered a "Geek" for his love of dinosaurs and arciology, Rex knew that in order to survive this cruel existence known as prison life, he would either need to endure like Weevil or fight. Luckily for Rex, his appearance confused most cons into thinking he was an easy target not only for rape, but viscious beatings.
Rex soon set the record straight, and his love for the insane and the purely sadistic landed him a place in Keith's gang.
"Once Spike" ,"The old sister was moved south and put on death row"
"There was an opening shall we say" "Weevil had earned his badge" Tristan informed.
"Welcome to the sisterhood" Valon spat jokingly.
Then off course there was Yugi- the little red and black haired boy who also resembled someone else within the prison, Valon didn't know who though.
Yugi is constantly protesting his innocence which only leads to more torture from Seto Kaiba.
Valon did not know the full extent of Seto Kaiba's evil.
He knew that playing the "Innocence card" would not work, after taking just one look at the poor battered little inmate, lying helplessly on the floor while the other cons jeered and Bakura stood by, as if nothing has happened, every single time. This was to become a common scene for Valon in the Laundry room.
"If the feds knew what really went on inside these walls" Joey grunted.
He thought of all the damage that the guards over the years had done, to the prisoners.
He recalls, Seto Kaiba watching as Bakura dragged an inmate naked along the halls.
"Why won't anyone say anything?" Valon asked confused.
"Like who?" Tristan replied defeated.
Noone was willing to risk their jobs and their lives to bring a wealthy prison warden and the entire staffing system down.
The more they spoke, the more terrified Valon became.
This place was a living nightmare and nothing could save him, except possibly one or two half hearted inmates.
"So what you in here for anyway?" Tristan asked.
Valon didn't know how to respond.
"Uh well you see I"
He was about to answer when that Red and black haired Guard with blonde streaks arrived.
"He looks like that Yugi guy" Valon whispered as the Guard walked past the inmates.
Keith started making whistling sounds and grabbing himself in front of the guard. They knew he was a push over.
"That's the new guy Yami" "weak as cats piss too" Joey laughed.
Tristan gave the weary guard a sarcastic wave.
"Everyone calm down please" Yami tried to speak with authority, but it was as useful as Ryou trying to take charge.
Towels and water went everywhere as the inmates started throwing laundry around the room and soaking Yami in the soapy liquid.
"Ahh stop" he pleaded, falling to his knees.
Valon hid behind one of the basins and stayed there silently observing the tyrants that were making all of this mess.
Joey and Tristan were laughing and cheering along.
Valon suddenly heard the room go silent.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Seto Kaiba bellowed.
The room was stiff.
Valon crawled up from under the basin and stood silently.
"Yami my office now" Seto ordered.
The group all started chanting something as Yami red faced, followed Seto into the main office.
Bakura then came in with a smart grin on his face.
"I am going to enjoy watching you all suffer" he narrowed his eyes and looked over at Yugi, who was trembling under one of the sheets.
He walked over to him and ripped the cold sheet away.
"Well if it isn't Mr Innocent" he snarled.
He then grabbed a fist full of hair and yanked Yugi up.
He screeched as Bakura used his other fist to punch him in the gut.
"Get back to work" he hissed, looking at Yugi like he was filth.
He threw Yugi onto the ground and watched him scurry away to one of the basins.
"All of you Now" he sternly ordered.
Later that night. Valon sat in with Tristan and Joey for as long as Guard Devlin would allow.
He had become really attached to the two inmates. If the truth be told, he was more afraid of not being seen with them and having to face the sisters alone.
"Man that Bakura" "I just wanna break him in half" Joey seethed with anger.
"Well why don't you?" A loud voice penetrated from one of the cells near by.
"Give me time Malone give me time" Joey yelled back.
"Ha suppose it could be worse" Tristan shrugged.
"Worse?" Valon thought inwardly. What could honestly be worse than the hell he was in at this very moment for the rest of his life?
"We could be Ryou or Yugi" "Or ..."Amelda"
"Who's Amelda?" Valon asked, Eyes wide open in curiousity.
"Well" Tristan sighed.
"What like I am afraid of what you are gonna tell me?" Valon questioned.
"I have heard enough horror stories about these people here already"
"Ha you getting feisty kid?" "I like that" Joey laughed and play punched Valon on the shoulder.
"Amelda despises Kaiba which is good"
"he also despises women" Joey said.
"What?" Valon asked. He seemed puzzled.
"Ever since his mom raped him he started to loath them"
"which I can't understand man" Joey added Gawking at a pick of his Girlfriend back home.
"Wow" Valon exclaimed.
He looked over at a picture of the blonde haired girl; she had slight freckles and big green eyes.
"You like?" Joey joked.
Valon blushed.
"Her names Becca" Joey sounded in a daze as he thought about her. His eyes started to glisten as he thought about kissing her or making love to her again.
"Hey her and serenity are coming in this weekend for a visit" Tristan informed.
"Serenity is his girl and my little sis" Joey added.
He then turned his attention to what Tristan had said.
"What?" "Really did Dev arrange it?"
Tristan nodded, "yeah hes on during visiting hours"
"alright" Joey smiled.
Three cells down, Ryou sat alone, trembling.
He knew that the sisters wouldn't be too far now.
"As soon as Guard Devlin changes cell blocks then they shall come" he mumbled to himself repeatedly.
In the cell next to him, he could hear screaming and sounds of intense pain.
"No please no more stop"
Ryou's eyes widened. "Yugi" he gasped, leaning in against the wall to see if he could make out what was happening to him.
He shut his eyes whenever he heard Yugi pine or scream.
He thought of the many beatings he had taken in front of everyone because Kaiba would not have his "innocence" plea.
Yugi and Ryou were both like canvas's they're bodies were painted on frequently, in their own blood and body fluids.
There was nothing that Yugi could do to stop the tortures that were carried out by The Warden himself Seto Kaiba.
Ryou listened in and wandered who it was that was harming his beloved Yugi.
"It can't be the sisters" "Duke is still patrolling the cells" He thought aloud.
"Ahh" Yugi yelled in what sounded like a symphony of agony.
Ryou winced at the sound.
"Why isn't anyone doing anything?" he moaned.
Ryou continued to have his ear placed up against the wall until the screaming eventually came to a halt.
Ryou heard a door shut and shuddered as his suddenly opened.
"Hello Ryou dear" An all too familiar voice whispered in the dark.
"WH...why...why are you here?" Ryou mumbled, realising just who the fiend who scarred Yugi was.
"Oh Seto wanted me to attended to some lets just say Urgent matters" He replied, winking at his next victim with glee.
"Bakura I have told you, I can't be with you" "Now please leave"
Ryou hunched himself into a ball and leaned against the concrete wall.
Bakura's eyes grew a deeper red with anger; he pulled out his steel blade and held it up towards Ryou's neck.
Ryou could smell Yugi's blood on the knife, it was strong, almost intoxicating.
He whimpered when he thought of poor Yugi lying in his blood, or worse his own semen
"You want the sisters to torment you every night until you die?" Bakura harshly mouthed.
"Is that what you want?" He stood over Ryou with the knife dangling above.
"Please Bakura don't let them get me" he whined, tears ran out of his eyes like river water running down a stream.
Bakura slid the blade into one of his leather pocket straps and knelt in beside him.
"I can protect you Little Ryou" he said softly stroking his tear ridden face.
Ryou shook his head and went to wipe his eyes, when Bakura held his hands down until his bones cracked onto the stone.
"Yaw" poor Ryou went to yell but was out of breath.
"Aww I imagine the crying has worn you out by now dear one"
Bakura faked his sympathy so well, however despite his cruelty he really did want Ryou and could not understand why Ryou did not feel the same way.
Bakura then leaned in to kiss Ryou on the lips when Ryou moved his head away, with the only strength that he had left.
"Bakky we are cousins" Ryou held his head back and sobbed even more.
Bakura felt his teeth clench and his stomach turn.
"No" he yelled holding Ryou's arms down to the ground tightly.
He then leaped off of Ryou and smiled to hide his tears of rejection.
"Very well" he said in a low voice.
"I might just forget to leave the door unlocked"
"NOOOO" Ryou yelled, using all of his strength to scream.
Bakura shook his head and walked away, leaving the door ajar for the Sisters to attack.
Joey and Tristan were still chatting about their girls.
Valon looked around the cell.
"Shit I better go or Duke will have me"
Tristan and Joey looked at each other than both laughed hysterically.
"What?" "Wont he?" Valon asked, relying on Joey and Tristan's judgment.
Joey leaned in and whispered.
"Il let you in on a little secret" "if you tell anyone you'll be in for many treats from the sisters and Bakura and..."
Valon shushed Joey, "off course I wont tell"
Tristan nodded.
"See Duke and I used to be pals on the outside" Joey explained
"He got this job when he found out that I was locked in here"
"Tristan wasn't too far away in joining me here and when Duke got the job he promised he would help us find a way outta here"
Valon was stunned. Boy had he been looked down on with love today.
Not only was he in jail with two guys that could protect him he now knew that they had ties with a guard who could get them out.
"The sisters won't touch us man" Tristan added, lowering his voice.
"They know we got someone helping us out they just dunno who"
Joey said.
"And that's how it stays" Tristan warned Valon.
Valon nodded intently.
"Seto Kaiba's been looking for a way to bring me down since I got here" Joey groaned.
"If he finds out about Duke" "We're all dead" "and god knows about duke" Tristan added, making sure that no one heard anything but them.
Valon was curious. "How come the warden hates you so much Joey?"
Joey laughed a little then sighed.
"Long story kid".
"Oh tell me please I promise I will tell no one"
Valon was so eager to hear more, he was like a little child, who followed his loyal guardians wherever they went, whatever they said was right in his eyes...
Tristan laughed. "Hey kid you're alright"
"I told you he'd be ok" Joey added looking at Tristan.
"What?" Valon thought, but he didn't say anything.
"So what are you in here for anyway kid?" Tristan asked.
Valon sighed.
"Well you guys told me about Duke and all so I guess I better tell you"
Joey threw his arm around Valon.
"Hey did ya rob a bank?" "Traffic drugs from Mexico?" "Murder someone?"
Valon shook his head
"No nothing like that" he replied, appalled at the thought of being seen like that.
"Ha na I didn't really pick you for the slice n dice type" Joey joked.
Tristan laughed.
"Hey you wanna know how Joey ended up in the slammer?" he asked Valon.
"The same way that you did" Joey said through gritted teeth.
"Ooh how?" Valon asked.
"Let's just say we were in the wrong place at the wrong time" he replied thinking back to the night of the robbery.
"If only it had gone according to plan" Tristan shook his head annoyed.
"Me too" Valon said quietly.
"What?" Tristan and Joey both raised their dark brown eye brows.
"I was also in the wrong place at the wrong time"
Gonna have to end it there
