POV:Yugi
"Please," my voice trailing off. I hardly even realized how much I was crying, everything hurt! But I deserve it; after all if didn't have this cursed voice, no one around me would suffer. I knew this because it's what Auntie yelled every time she beat me, and what Uncle would always say if I so much as opened my mouth. This was because I am not allowed to say a word for fear my voice would curse them. One week until Grandfather comes, and I go live with him. As long as I don't say a word he won't notice my cursed voice and nothing bad will happen!
I got up to start walking back to Auntie's; I looked down at the beach and gasped. On the beach there were two teenagers that looked as if they could be twins. They looked like they were talking to each other, because of the way they were turned I could not see their faces. One was pale while the other had a deep tan and was slightly more muscular than the other, but even from here I could tell that even though both were slim, they were strong. They were both wearing tight black tang tops, tight black pants, and they were both bare foot.
Their hair, which was done up in gravity-defying spikes; was black, with some of their golden bangs laying back in a lightning pattern while the rest stuck out slightly; though the black part of the tan teen's hair seemed to fade to a dark violet color, while on the pale teen it faded to a crimson. From where I was I could not see anything else.
As I was staring at the two; the tan one looked up at me, our eyes meeting. His eyes the same dark violet as his hair, his face and eyes were angular.
He surprised me by raising his hand and beckoning me to come down to the beach. If Auntie finds out I went down to the beach the pain will only increase, then again she would kill me if she ever found out I sang! So I guess that going down there couldn't make things any worse.
I walked, or, well, hobbled over to the stairway that led down to the beach, and grabbed the railing before I fell. I already had realized that even if I made it down to the beach without falling down the stairs; it would be impossible to get back up by myself. I looked back up at the teens, and this time the pale one was looking up as well. His eyes were crimson, same as his hair. He gave me a closed lip smile, and beckoned me to come down as well; I took a deep breath and started to make my down. It hurt!
When I finally got to the bottom step I just sat down. The teens walked over and sat down as well, the tan one on my left and the pale one on my right. The tan one looked at me and asked, "How old are you?" I smiled. I can answer this one! I held up ten fingers; they both gasped; I giggled a little bit, they probably thought I was younger.
"I don't think either of us expected you to be that old. Oh Atem we forgot to ask the Little One's name," the pale teen said seemingly trying not to laugh. The tan teen, Atem, I guess, reached over and tapped the other one lightly on the back of the head, accidentally bumping against me. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying out in pain.
"He's right in between, us you could have just asked him," Atem said, not noticing my pain.
"Ok then, what's your name, kid?" His face twisted as if he were about to laugh. I shook my head and patted my throat. If they don't think I can talk neither will be exposed to my cursed voice. He narrowed his eyes into a light glare and by the feeling on my back so did Atem. "Now we know that's not true; we just heard you singing," the pale teen said, then probably seeing the look of terror on my face he added, "If you tell us why you're scared I'll tell you my name."
If they've heard me sing then a couple more words shouldn't do anymore damage, right? "You shouldn't have listened to me sing! Auntie says my voice is cursed and that just talking to someone one can cause great misfortune, and that singing is the worst thing I can do!" I almost yelled and started crying again but this time it was not from pain.
Both of them started laughing and got up and moved in front of me. The pale teen then said," My name's Yami." At first I was somewhat confused. Oh, right, he said he'd tell me his name.
"Your voice isn't cursed, and even if it was, it wouldn't affect us," Atem said. I looked at him and gave a hesitant smile.
"Really?" I questioned, barely loud enough to hear.
"Of course," both responded at the same time; give me reassuring smiles. Atem then continued his line of questioning, "What made your aunt think your voice was cursed?"
"Apparently when I sing it sounds similar to a sirens voice, and before my parent left to go on a short cruise I sang them a song. They never came back," I told him. I looked out sadly to the ocean. The sun's almost completely gone! I have to get back to Auntie's house, now! I stood up quickly, got dizzy and fell back down.
"What's wrong!?" Yami said, sounding surprised and worried.
"I have to get home! Auntie's going to be mad I'm late!" the fear in my voice seemed to alert them that this is how bad this was as they exchanged worried looks.
"Don't worry we'll get you home in time," Atem said. Yami picked, me up being careful of all my injuries.
"Just tell us the way," Yami added as he started up the stairs.
