Chapter 1
Yumi hummed to herself as she walked down the stairs. It was a glorious morning. The birds were chirping; the morning felt good as the day rolled on.
She went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab herself a glass of orange juice. Yumi hoped to see her parents and brother enter, but they never did. She closed the refrigerator door. On the door, she saw a note that said:
Yumi,
We are out for our trip to Japan. We will only be gone for a month, so just enjoy the month.
Love,
Mom, Dad, and Hiroki
P.S. Hiroki's with us so you don't have to worry about him.
Yumi wanted to celebrate. She grabbed the telephone in the living room, typed in Ulrich's phone number, sat on the couch, and waited.
"Hello," Ulrich's voice said.
"Hi Ulrich," Yumi said.
"Why, hello Yumi," Ulrich said. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing much," Yumi smiled, "My folks, Hiroki included, are out for a month."
"They are? Where did they say they were going?" Ulrich asked.
"Japan, according to the note," Yumi said.
"With Hiroki included," Ulrich mused. "I wonder what you'll be doing home alone! A wild party, I assume."
"With you, Jeremie, Aelita, Odd, Samantha, William, Sissi, Cassidy, and XANA, I'll have a wild party," Yumi said.
"That's great," Ulrich said. "I'll call Jeremie, Aelita, Odd, Samantha, William, Sissi, Cassidy and XANA! See you at your house!"
"Okay," Yumi said, hanging up the phone. After hanging up, her soul and heart began to rise. "WHOO-HOO, YEAH, MY PARENTS AND BROTHER ARE IN JAPAN!"
BANG-BANG BANG!
My friends cannot be here already! I am not prepared, Yumi thought, completely thrown into disarray.
Her heart jumped into ultimate panic, stomach turning as if it were suddenly on fire.
Yumi suddenly started shaking like a maraca as she walked to the door. She looked up at the window. A man in a teal shirt hidden with a black jacket with blue jeans appeared. The man looked up with an evil stare.
Yumi's heart was in deep overload, her stomach doing somersaults.
"OH LORD!" Yumi screamed. "I've gotta get out of here!"
If this were not anime, but a cartoon, Yumi would have dug her way out of the house, but unfortunately digging ways out of the house was impossible.
Yumi ran all the way to her room. The man's knocks were fiercer and more forceful. Yumi shuddered.
Just then, she heard a sound like wood breaking bowling-pin style.
Stay calm, She ordered herself. He will not search here just yet. She gulped and then heard a knock on her parent's door. Yumi then started to panic silently.
BANG-BANG BANG BANG-BANG!
Yumi almost blacked out in panic, but willpower pumped some bravery into her system.
BANG-BANG BANG BANG-BANG!
The man was at her door. Yumi scrambled behind the table with the doll on top.
CR-R-R-UN-C-H
The man was tearing the door down.
C-R-R-R-A-A-S-H
He broke the door down. Yumi curled up to the size of a ball, like the times that she came out of the scanners, sweating and shaking.
The man looked around the room and then (A/N: Gulp! End A/N) he found her.
He grasped her roughly by the sweater collar. She gave a gasping screech, but it was cut short after a chloroformed hand cloth covered her nose and mouth. She tried to kick him in the chest but she didn't have enough strength as everything went dark…
