Clara now had to find Malik. The next day she went to school upset as she saw Melvin in Marik's body.

"Malik!" She yelled walking towards him. Melvin turned not knowing who she was quite yet. She smacked him, as he held his cheek he realized this was the girlfriend.

"What?" He growled.

"What? WHAT! I haven't heard or seen from you in DAYS! I've been worried about you! And then your sister gave me this necklace and I see you killing people, explain yourself!" She yelled, by this time people were staring. Melvin pulled her over to a back hallway. He grabbed her throat.

"I'm not Malik, and Malik's real name is Marik, Marik Ishtar. My name? My name is Melvin, your worst nightmare. See since you were born you've been in my sights. You know I've wanted to kill you. Why? Well that would just have to wait for later." Melvin then let go of the scared Clara and left the building. People rushed to Clara, asking if she was alright. Dazed she made her to the bathroom and called her dad. Gulping she was afraid to hear his reaction.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Dad, I just met Melvin, can you pick me up?"

"Sh- yes, I'll be there in a couple"

As she climbed into her dad's car, she saw his face. It was tired and worried. They drove home in silence; she could only imagine what her mom was doing. At home her mom hugged her right as Clara got in the door.

"Mom" Clara breathed.

"I'm glad you're ok" Clara could hear her mom choke up on tears.

"I'm fine" Clara couldn't seem to cry.

For the next hour Clara and Yugi went over what happened. Holding her head

"I told you he looked like Marik, he didn't have his hair up, from what you told me I don't know how, I was looking at Marik but hearing Melvin, he has the distorted voice, he had the rod"

"He had the rod?" Yugi asked.

"I'm…I'm not sure" The memory was fading the more and more she tried to explain it. She finally got up.

"I need to leave this for a bit, clear my thoughts" Clara then went up and flopped down in her bed.

Yugi just sat there thinking of what to do. Cali sat down across from Yugi set a glass of water on the table and looked at Yugi.

"We knew it was coming Yugi"

"But I was hoping you were right, it wasn't going to be real, bark no bite, I'm going to have Atem talk to her"

"But she always shoves Atem away, not wanting to talk to him; do you really want to try that again?"

Yugi stood up "yes" Then he held the puzzle and turned into Atem. "Hello Cali" Atem said going upstairs. Cali sat back down.

Upstairs Atem knocked lightly on Clara's door.

"Who is it?" Clara asked.

"Atem"

"Go away"

"Clara listen, I need you to let me in, it's important"

"The door's open" Clara said sitting up on her bed. Atem opened the door just a peek then opened it all the way. He cleared his throat.

"Clara, I…I'm sorry, but you need to listen you are in great danger which you seem to ignore!" Atem was beyond mad. Clara just gave a deep, dark look. She had the necklace on that Ishizu gave her, it started to glow and a hand print on Clara's throat appeared. Where Melvin had touched her had seemed to be the where it was glowing. Head down, Clara feeling of just being confused and upset became rage. Her head snapped up and her eyes didn't have a pupil and she had a total blank expression on her face.

"Clara?" Atem asked. Clara chuckled in a deep distorted tone. It escalated to a laugh.

"Oh boo-who, from the start pharaoh, she was defenseless, and she no longer is; with me in her she's got power beyond belief. Now pharaoh feel the pain I went through when you father ruined me" Bakura was now in control of Clara's body and he raised her hand and Atem began choking. He threw Atem against the wall and looked deep into the kings eyes.

"Clara" Atem choked.

"She no longer is here pharaoh she's gone"

"Fight him Clara" Atem choked out. Bakura just laughed and held Atem's throat tighter.

"You feel it now? Hmmm? The misery I went through, I want you to feel the same pain I felt when this scar was cut on me" Bakura took one of Clara's long nails and placed in under Atem's eye and pierced the red flesh, after a bit Bakura had made a gash from Atem's eye to half way down his cheek. Atem, with tears in his eyes looked into those hazy eyes of Clara's. Then with a flash Bakura held her head, and started to thrash around. A clear Clara scream rang from her throat. But then another chuckle from Bakura rumbled from the same throat, same body, and same flesh of Clara. She was fighting against Bakura but was losing; finally Clara stood there, still Bakura. She looked over her shoulder to Atem which was in the corner, almost cowering. Bakura laughed and walked down the stairs.

"Clara-bell!" Cali yelled after her. Bakura slowly turned towards the frightened lady and gave her a smile. Cali stepped back realizing this wasn't her daughter. Finally Bakura walked out of the house, hoped on Marik's motorcycle and drove off.

Yugi ran down the stairs and held Cali in his arms.

"Clara" Cali breathed.
