DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH OR ITS CHARACTERS, ONLY ROSABELLA
Chapter Two
Okay I'll admit, I believe that people are generally really comfy, like nah can't be bothered moving comfy. And I'll admit this guy was comfy...apart from the fact that he was giving me a death glare that made it seem like I'd just ran over his dog.
"Do you mind?!"
I couldn't spit out an answer, how could I? His eyes..they're purple! And I thought mine looked strange.
"Belissimo, Vorrei che le mie erano così" (very beautiful, I wish mine were as well)
I muttered to myself, not realising that the person underneath me could hear what I just said.
"What in the name of Ra...? Look just get off of me already!"
That snapped me out of my mini trance. I quickly scrambled off the guy to get a better look at him. Tan skin, pale blonde hair and purple eyes...he's soooo cute! And I mean that in an "awwww look at the little guy" way...um scratch that he's not little
/since he seems to be a whole head taller than me. He's wearing a purple...dress? I noticed that the floor beneath me was shaking slightly, holy shit is this an earthquake?! I quickly looked at my surroundings to see that I'm on a fucking boat! HOW!?
/I was in the woods 5 minutes ago! I could see that we were heading towards a large city, not one I'm familiar with. Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..er I mean Roma. Wait did this guy just say Ra? Isn't that an egyp-
"Who are you?! You better answer me quickly or suffer the consequences!"
He pointed a weird golden rod at me, one end had two wing-like shapes on it with an eye in the middle...hang on, THAT'S THE SAME EYE ON THAT CARD I FOUND! And yet the only thing I found myself saying is:
"Are you some sort of drag queen? Not that I'm judging cause daaaaamn you pull it off well."
...A full minute passed with the blonde giving me what I assumed was a mortified look which quickly turned into rage.
"..you..you dare!.."
"Master Marik! What's going on?!"
Another guy came running, probably from the cabin part of the ship, I don't know! I know nothing about boats!
"Odion! Seize this trespasser!"
Now I like to think that I can handle myself, however I know when I'm outmatched. This guy was a giant compared to me so fighting him would be like a mouse going up against a tiger.
Immediately the human tank charged towards me and made an effort to grab me, however I ducked, landing a kick to his shin before frog leaping over his back to make a run for it. There's got to be a life boat somewhere.
I quickly scrambled on top of the cabin roof to get a Birdseye view of the deck...and the odds aren't in my favour, yay for me.
Just as I was about to jump down the cabin was surrounded by more people dressed in the same purple getup.
"Well looks like the lady-boys are coming to town!"
I spotted the blonde, Marik I think his name was, and he did not look happy.
"Master we have her surrounded."
"Good now watch as this pitiful wretch becomes my mind slave!"
The golden rod in his hand glowed, however just as it did, a burning sensation had spread across my shoulder making me cry out in pain.
"bastardo! Che diavolo stai facendo!?"
(Bastard! What the Hell are you doing!?)
I reverted back to my mother tongue which happens a lot whenever emotions overcome me. There was surprise in the boy's eyes as he realised what he was trying to do wasn't working.
"What? But how?! The millennium rod has never failed me before! What have you done?!"
Before I could answer back with a smart-ass comment, I was tackled down by the human tank. One of my arms were pinned behind my back, while the other managed to break my fall a little. One of the guys arms was wrapped around my neck with the other pinning
/my arm.
"Master I've captured her."
I believe myself to be a decent human being, I'm civilised, polite..ish and not every sentence that comes out my mouth has a sarcastic remark to it. But if some fuck nugget thinks it's okay to tackle me to the ground then yeah to Hell with being a "civilised
/human". Before anymore of those guys could help out I sunk my teeth into my captors arm which gave me enough time to ram the back of my head into his nose.
Quickly he released me and I scrambled up and bolted, no time to get a life boat so I did the next best thing: I jumped off the damn boat. Yes I know it's stupid but hey I'm desperate here!
The freezing temperature of the water hit me like a slap in the face, a thousand needles piercing my skin. A shot of fear soon enveloped my body, making my muscles feel like lead. As I try to get a hold of myself, two golden hellfire eyes stare right
/at me, black and crimson scales invade my vision, mocking me, taunting my fear.
Il mio demone interiore (my inner demon). It's been such a long time...
~flashback 8 years~
"Aww come on Rosie it's just a swim!"
"Don't bother the freaks too scared!"
"Maybe she just needs a little encouragement!"
Three girls that were about a year older than me towered my small frame. Caterina, Isabella and Beatrice, ever since I arrived at the orphanage these girls had made it their mission to make my life a living Hell and the reason? My eyes. Yup because of
/my eyes these three decided to make me their victim.
"Come on little mostro (freak) it's just a little water."
Right now we were at the beach, a little trip that the orphanage planned. So far I hate it I'm sure you already know. I was cornered on top of a few rocks with the sea to my face and facing off against the three demons. Suddenly Beatrice shot forward
/and shoved me hard enough to fall into the water, I tried to scream but salty water instantly filled my mouth making me choke.
I started flailing around desperate to break the surface but I just kept sinking further. More and more water filled my lungs and I could feel my eyelids becoming heavy, before I could close them that demone, that snake showed itself to my face.
"...save...can't die..."
"...no time...CPR!"
Heavy weight was pushing into my ribcage over and over, feeling like that my bones would cave in from the force. With a jerk I was awake hysterically coughing up sea water with a lifeguard beside me and two Sisters checking me for anymore injuries.
"Oh thank the lord! Little missy you had us all worried!"
I couldn't speak, I was just so...tired, mama I wanna sleep maybe I'll see you..when I close my eyes again..
~flashback end~
No! I refuse to have that happen again! Quickly I swam up to the surface, but not before seeing the fury in the serpents eyes. I'm no longer afraid of you il mio demone interiore.
I broke the surface and immediately began swimming towards the unfamiliar city. I could hear the blonde teen behind me curse and command his little bitches to try and come after me. Swimming faster I reach the harbour and pull myself up, oh land I've
/missed you! The boat was right behind me so I quickly sprinted off, my wet clothes weighing down my movements slightly.
I couldn't risk them catching me again, so I scramble up the side of an old building and began to run across the rooftops. 10 minutes later I found myself in what seemed to be the 'heart of the city'. I took a look around and well last time I checked
/a city's meant to be filled with busy people buying random shit, but nope here this city's busy with people wearing the weirdest gadgets on their arms, battling monsters and making me feel like I'm on drugs.
I climb down the side of the building I was on and walk around the streets. People gave me strange looks probably cause I was soaked to the bone.
"Hey you!"
What? I looked around and the thing that my eyes landed on was a small...kid? He looked about I don't know nine?
"I challenge you to a duel!"
A what now? Is this kid okay? I mean he seemed normal, brown hair, blue hoodie..oh nope he wearing the weird device on his wrist.
"Um...what?"
"You heard me! I challenge yo- wait do you even have a duel disk?"
"A what now?"
He lifted his arm showing me his 'duel disk'. Oh so that's what's it's called.
"Uh no sorry don't have one."
"Do you even have a deck?"
"..."
I just gave the shrimp a blank stare, which seemed to irritate him a little. Oh come on! What did I do now!?
"You've got to be kidding me! Why are you even wandering around here during the Battle City Tournament?!"
"Look I don't know where I am! What's going on or what this tournament is!"
I was on the brink of tears at this point, everything was just becoming too much for me. I mean I'm somehow transported to a different place, some maniac tries to kidnap me, I jump off a boat, swim to said city and now I have some little prick yelling
/at me as if I just burnt down a fucking church or something! I swear if something else happens that pisses me off-
"Hey pal, can't you see that you're upsettin' the lil lady here?"
The voice behind me made me jump and turn around where my face was met with a chest. I looked up see whoopie another blonde! Only this one's a lot more taller. He had a Brooklyn accent and another one of those duel disk things.
The other kid just 'tsk'ed and walked off, mumbling something that sounded like "losers".
"Grazie, you have no idea on how bad of a day that I've been having."
"Hey no problem, always here to help a damsel. Name's Joey by the way."
I felt my eye twitch at the damsel comment. Okay Rosa don't bite off the nice persons head."
"piacere di conoscerti (nice to meet you). I'm Rosabella Fiore."
"If ya don't mind me asking, what are you Italian?"
"What gave it away?"
No bad Rosa! You have to be nice!
"Woah easy there! Feisty lil thing aren't ya?"
"Sorry sarcasm is my natural defence."
He laughs a little at my small joke, not realising that I was being a little bit serious. What? It is!
"How come ya don't have a duel disk? Aren't ya competing in the tournament?"
"I don't even know what this is about. Let's just say that well I'm just a TEENY bit lost."
"Huh, how about we go find my friends and then we can help ya find your way."
"If you don't mind me asking, what city are we in?"
Joey did a double take and gave me a disbelieving look, what? I told him I was lost.
"Wow, ya really are lost, you're in Domino City."
...never heard of it. There is no city in Italy called 'Domino'. Wait, am I even in Italy anymore?! Knowing my chances probably not.
"Hey Rose, ya coming?"
"Uh yeah, wait up!"
I quickly caught up with the Brooklyn blonde, hoping to get some insight to my situation here but it couldn't get any worse right? Right?
...
Give it an hour before life decides to royally screw me over..again.
