Your reviews motivate me to keep writing, I hope you'll like this chapter as much as the previous ones. Now here's chapter 3.

Chapter 3: The other Mutous

Nina's P.O.V

Darkness was surrounding me; a cold breeze hit me as I move. I felt two arms carrying me and maybe taking me to where no one can find me and do whatever they want from me.

I tried to open my eyes and make at least the slightest move, instead, all I did was groaning from a sharp pain that hit me at the same moment.

I could hear two voices; one of them clearly belonged to the one who carries me, and the other voice belonged to another person, which made me realize he wasn't alone.

All I can do now is wait and see what fate has brought to me.

XXXXXXXXXX

Normal P.O.V

The two brothers reached a misty hill, not far away from the village, carrying the injured girl. Behind the hill, Atem moved away some bushes, viewing a wooden door.

Nina let out a weak groan, getting both their attention.

''Is she alright?'' Asked Atem, a bit worried.

''I think she started regaining her consciousness.'' Replied Yugi.

Atem lifted the door, revealing stairs made of stone leading to an underground place, he felt a sharp pain in his back, he shut his eyes tight and struggled hard not to yelp in agony, and then he remembered the attack he received from that vampire. Yugi noticed Atem's pain and started to get worried.

''Bro, you alright?'' He asked.

Things blurred around him as he begun to shiver slightly.

''Come on; lean on me 'till we get inside.'' Atem was in no position to argue, even if he was, he will definitely lose against Yugi, so he has no choice but to obey him.

They walked in the underground corridor, passing thick wooden doors on their left, apparently this place used to be some sort of dungeon.

Yugi turned his gaze to his brother, who was walking beside him, leaning on his shoulder for support.

''Atem? Can I ask you something?''

''What is it?''

''What happened to you there? When we first entered that house, you froze and didn't notice the vampire behind you, it nearly killed you!!''

Atem looked away, the images of those vampires sucking the blood from the family played in his head, he hesitated before saying anything.

''It's just … when I saw the vampires feed on the parents and the young kid, I ….'' Yugi didn't need more explanation; he knew what Atem was trying to say.

''Atem,'' Yugi said getting his attention, he looked deep in his eyes, he could see the guilt and pain in them, he continued. ''It wasn't your fault; don't blame yourself for what happened … It's been over a year, you gotta let it go.''

Atem stayed silent, Yugi was right; it's been over a year but he still feels guilty, knowing that he could more to help them, maybe save them.

They reached the end of the corridor, there was a door similar to the others they passed, but wasn't as thick as the others. They opened the door and entered; the room had only a bed at the corner, a small table next to it, and a small window similar to jail windows.

Once they entered, Atem fell to his knees, leaning against the wall with his shoulder. He shut his eyes tight, starting to get dizzy and breathing heavily. Yugi put Nina on the bed and quickly went to check on him.

''How are you feeling, bro?''

''It's OK; I'm just a little weak.''

''Alright, I'll go and bring the first aid kit and some healing potions.''

''Be careful, Yugi.''

''Don't worry, I'll be fine.''

And with that, he left the room.

XXXXXXXXXX

Yugi arrived to his home in a record time, and since the sun was rising, he had no problems.

He had a big house, almost as huge as a castle. Yugi went inside and headed to the storage room, where they put all kinds of weapons and supplies like the first aid kit. When he opened the door and saw everything was in a great mess, he lost every last hope to find what he needs in time. At that moment, an explosion shook the whole manor, and black smoke could be seen coming from the basement in front of Yugi.

''Oh no, Grandpa!'' He ran down the stairs and to his grandpa's laboratory.

Solomon Mutou is a famous sorcerer and a brilliant chemist; he was the first to mix chemistry with magic, and a lot of villagers come to him for help or to share his wisdom.

As Yugi opened the door, thick smoke came out and filled the place leaving no space for oxygen. He started coughing but kept going, he couldn't see a thing, however, he was able to hear his grandpa and another person coughing, he recognized the other person as his sister, Lara.

''Grandpa, Lara, you alright?'' The smoke begun to fade and everything slowly getting into view, the lab looked horrible, broken glasses and torn papers were everywhere.

''Yeah, it's just a failed test. You came right in time, Yugi. I wanna show you my new spell, watch this.'' Lara then lifted her hands and chanted the spell.

Everything started floating in the air, Lara aimed with her left hand at a corner, all the broken stuff moved with Lara's hand and landed harsh and breaking them even more.

''OK, I might need to work on that.''

Then Yugi's eyes lightened up. ''… That's it!! Lara I need your help, come on! Quickly!'' He grabbed her arm and dragged her all the way back to the storage room.

''Yugi, slow down. What is it?'' Lara looked around. ''By the way, where's Atem? Wasn't-'' Her eyes laid on Yugi's shirt, which was soaked with blood, they widened in fear.

''Oh my god! What happened? Are you alright? ... Is Atem alright?''

''Please, sis. I'll tell you everything when I'm back, but now will you help me find the first aid kit and the healing potions in this mess with that spell of yours.''

Lara stared at him, tears were forming in his eyes, she can force him to tell her everything, but whoever the bleeding person is, he or she got no much time left. She sighed and looked back at her brother.

''OK then,'' She stepped forward. ''Stay back in case I lost control.'' He obeyed. Lara closed her eyes and chanted the spell. Everything started floating just like what happened in the lab, she opened her eyes and searched for the stuff Yugi asked for, when she found them, she aimed at them, pulling them from the other objects. A bag and a wooden box flew closer to Lara, this time, landing gently before her.

''Here you go.'' Yugi looked up at her, she smiled. ''What do you think now?'' He smiled back at her before jumping on her, hugging her for a second.

''Thanks, I owe you.''

''No problem, Bro.'' Yugi then took the bag and the box and headed towards the living room. Lara looked at her clothes and sighed in relief. ''Thank god the blood was dry.'' Then she followed Yugi to the living room.

There, he was holding five candles and placing them in a half circle shape before the wall.

''Making a transporting portal?''

''Yeah.''

''Let me help then ... Flame!'' A flame was created above Lara's finger, she then lit up the candles with it while Yugi watched in awe.

''Wow! You're good.''

''Thank you.'' Yugi stepped inside the half circle shape, he put his hands together and closed his eyes, while Lara observed from a distance.

''I call the transporting portal, reveal to me the path to my destination.'' A portal then grew bigger on the wall, Yugi grabbed the bag and the box and stepped closer to it.

''See you later, sis. It won't take long, promise!'' It was the last thing Yugi said before jumping into the portal, Lara watched as Yugi disappeared into the portal, worried about her brothers and the problem they got themselves into.

I won't forgive myself if anything happens to them, I got to do something. Lara saw the portal shrinking, her eyes looked determent.

''I guess you'll see me sooner than you think, brother.'' She said before jumping into the portal in the last moment.

Solomon walked out of the basement and saw Lara jumping into a portal. ''Wait! You got to finish cleaning up the-'' He heard voices of things falling and glasses shattering coming from the storage room, he went there to find everything's broken and was thrown all around the room. He sighed rubbing his forehead.

''Kids…''

…TBC…

I'll end it here, I bet those who liked the story are gonna kill me for this. Anyway, I was going to stop writing 'till spring break, but since I already started in chap 4, I might update next month if I got the time, you know, school takes all your free time.

What do you think of adding magic to the story, I just tought about it while writing this chapter, and yes, I am as clueless as you are, I still have no idea what to write for the next chap, that's what takes me a long time to update. So I hope you're patient enough.
