Part Three
Mira: They are still in the bedroom.
Screams heard from upstairs.
Mira: Well, let's start the story.
OOO
"It's so nice," said Anjel, "and quiet."
"Yes, it is," replied Mira as she smiled knowing her friend was having a wonderful time.
"I love it here," said Anjel, " I feel so at peace." Anjel walked farther from her horse.
"Anjel, be careful," said Mira worried something might happen.
"Nothing is going to happen," said Anjel as she walked farther, "you worry to much."
"Just be careful," said Mira. She had a bad feeling all of a sudden.
"Whatev..." said Anjel as she was sucked down.
"Anjel!!!" screamed Mira as she ran to where Anjel had disappeared.
It's so dark.
"Wake up."
Who are you?
"Wake up."
"Huh... where am I?" asked Anjel as she slowly regained conciseness. She touched the back of her head and felt a bump that was slowly appearing.
"I guess Mira was right," she said as she got up. She quickly found her backpack and pulled out her flashlight. She flicked it on and looked around.
"I wonder where I am," Anjel said as she walked over to a wall that had some markings on it. She looked at the marks and traced a few. Her hand stopped at one marking that was familiar, but she couldn't figure out where she had seen it before. 'I know I have seen that symbol before, but where?' thought Anjel as she racked her brain for the answer. Her eyes widen when she realized where she knew that symbol from. 'My bracelet!' Her hand quickly went to where the bracelet should be, but there was nothing there.
"Where is it?" asked Anjel as she glanced around hoping to find it on the floor. 'This way, little one,' said a strange voice.
"Who said that?" asked Anjel as she spun around. 'This way.'
"Who's there?" asked Anjel as she looked around. The light from the flashlight stopped when she saw the hallway that had not been there before. 'This way. Come.' Anjel slowly walked down the hallway unsure of what was occurring. She came to a brightly light room, and she turned the flashlight off. There was some kind of table in the middle of the room that looked like some sort of platform. Anjel felt like someone was watching her. She turned and saw two glittering red eyes looking at her intently from a dark corner. She turned towards the eyes.
"Who's there?" asked Anjel. A cloaked figure walked out of the shadows. Anjel could not see anything but the person's eyes.
"Were you the one calling me?" asked Anjel as she stared into those blood red eyes. She found she could not look away.
"I have heard no other voice but your own, child. Are you looking for something?" asked the man. His voice was a whisper. Anjel's eyes widen when she realized what he had asked. 'How did he know?' she asked herself.
"My bracelet," replied Anjel. She felt as if those eyes trapped her. 'You must look away, little one.' It was that voice, again. 'Are you in my mind?' asked Anjel. 'Yes, little one.' 'Who are you?' Anjel was surprised by the voice's answer. 'I am a part of you.'
"Is this what you are looking for?" the man asked as he pulled out Anjel's bracelet. It was still on its chain. This brought Anjel out of her conversation with the voice in her head.
"That is mine," said Anjel, "give it back. It was a gift."
"How about we play a little game? If you win, you get it back. If I win, well you just have to find out," said the man. His voice sounded as if all this amused him.
"Fine. You pick the game," replied Anjel through clinched teeth. 'You must calm down.' 'Go away,' Anjel told the voice. 'You must not let anger control your actions.' 'Fine,' Anjel said as she calmed herself down.
"Are you familiar with duel monsters?" asked the man as he sat down behind the table. Anjel's hand instinctively went to the box that held her deck that hung at her side.
"Are you suggesting we duel?" asked Anjel unsure of this man's intentions.
"No, just a game of chance. I will draw a card, and then you must draw a card stronger than mine to win," said the man as he shuffled his deck, "Please sit down and let us begin." Anjel pulled out her deck and sat down.
"Fine," said Anjel as she shuffled her deck. Both sat their respective decks down on the table. The man drew a card, and his eyes seemed to light up. He laid the card down face up. Anjel looked at it. The attack power was 1900. 'Shit! I know of only one of my cards off the top of my head that can beat it. I can't win.' 'Believe in yourself and your cards. Put your trust in your deck. They haven't let you down so far' said the voice. 'I can't win. I can't beat him.' 'Then close your eyes and trust in your heart & your cards,' replied the voice. Anjel decided she would trust the voice. Her cards had never let her down so far. Anjel closed her eyes and let her heart guide her hand to her deck. She took a deep breath and drew her card. As she let out her breath she opened her eyes. There in her hand was the card she needed. She laid the card down. The man looked at the card and smiled. He looked up at Anjel.
"You have won. Here is your prize," the man said as he tossed Anjel her bracelet. She turned around and caught it. She turned back to say something to the man, but he had disappeared.
"That's strange. I would have seen him if he gone down the hallway," said Anjel as she slipped on the chain from which her bracelet hung, "I guess I should leave." Anjel put up her deck and walked back into the room she had awaken in.
"I guess I should try climbing out," said Anjel as she walked over to the mountain of sand she figured was where she had got in through.
Mira was frantic her best friend had just disappeared into the sand just five minutes ago. The place Anjel had disappeared at was right next to Mira. Mira felt the sand shifting under her and moved over to the horses. Her eyes were still on the spot Anjel had been standing at when she disappeared. The sand started to sink, and then Mira saw something that surprised her, a hand coming out of the sand. Mira ran over and grabbed it. She pulled with all her might and fell backwards pulling someone on top of her. There looking down at her was Anjel.
"Anjel!" screamed Mira as she hugged her friend, "I thought you were gone for good."
"Chocking gasp me," Anjel wheezed out between gasps for air.
"Oh! Sorry," said Mira as she let go.
"How long was I down there?" asked Anjel as she brushed the sand off her clothes.
"About five minutes," replied Mira as she helped Anjel.
"Weird, I thought it was way longer than that. It had to have been," Anjel mumbled to herself.
"What's weird?" asked Mira. She had only heard part of what Anjel had said.
"Nothing. Let's just go. Please don't tell my dad about this," said Anjel as she got on her horse.
"Fine, I won't tell him," replied Mira as they rode off.
"What!! We're moving?" Anjel asked her father with fear and sadness in her eyes.
"Yes, dear. We have to move," replied her father.
"But…I love it here. All my friends are here," said Anjel as she tried to hold back her tears. A hand landed on Anjel's shoulder and turned her around.
"Anjel, I will always be your friend no matter where you are. Egypt and I are and always will be in your heart," said Mira as she hugged her friend.
"Thanks Mira," said Anjel as she turned towards her father, "Okay, we can move, but this doesn't mean I want to."
"Okay. Go pack, please. We leave tomorrow," said her father. Anjel and Mira turned together and walked up to Anjel's room to pack.
OOO
Mira: Okay, I think they have been up there to long.
Mira walks upstairs and opens the door after picking the lock. There on the bed sat Anjel on top of her hikari tickling her.
Mira: So that's what you have been up to. Okay, Anjel, that's enough.
Anjel: Fine, you always mess up my fun.
Anjel gets off and walks away.
Me: Thanks.
Mira and Me: That's all for now.
Please R&R.
