Some Notes:
The return of the Dark Signers- boarding school version! Haha :) Enjoy, I want to create some raw emotion this chapter...
This is a 'short sentence' chapter and fast paced, because I want to get straight to the drama in the next chapter. ^.^
***Contains blood and violence, you have been warned***
Chapter 3:
Yusei was watching Carly closely. Lately she had been keeping her head down, barely talking to any one, least of all Kiryu and Misty. He had also noticed a significant change in Atlas- his anger had spiralled out of control and his general manner was taking a turn for the worse. Some thing bad was going to happen, Yusei could feel it. Carly took her books out of the locker, when she was suddenly surprised by a voice in her ear, so close that she shivered with apprehension.
"Tell anybody about this and Jack gets hurt." She had done what it said and told Jack that the beating up was a one off, just some bully boys thinking she was an easy target. But the beatings had become more regular, harsher each time. Some thing within Carly was becoming brutal and cruel. She wanted to teach them a lesson they would never forget. And she had. One night she couldn't take it any longer and she had pulled the knife. The frightened Carly had stabbed the stunned leader.
He flung back as the blood flew from the fresh wound. The rest of them ran off. Carly felt like some thing had taken her over- she ran off, crying again, unable to understand what she had done. And for once instead of yelling for the friendship she had once had with Kiryu and Misty, she was calling for Jack. She wanted Jack to protect her, but she couldn't tell him. It was a vicious cycle. Mikage knew that her note had not done any thing-Jack hadn't stopped talking to Carly- if any thing, they were closer.
But Mikage sensed a new feeling within the shy girl, her rival. Some thing was really wrong and she knew it. She battled with the the rivalry in her head, the angel, the devil, until she knew what she had to do. Pulling Carly to one side, she asked what the matter was. Carly wouldn't tell her. Carly fled. Come to think of it, that was all she did these days. She couldn't face up to any thing. The next day she had the worst pain possible. The leader had obviously taken a leaf from Carly's book.
He had a sharp sheath and cut Carly with it, deep into her arm. She winced, flinching, as the boy pushed it harder and harder. For a moment she thought that she was dying. She had to give up. "Ok, ok..." she sighed, moaning as the blood seeped through. "I'll join it. I'll do any thing. PULL IT OUT!" She shrieked, screaming. He obliged. Carly was trapped. Misty despised herself. Kiryu couldn not bare to look at himself. They were both absorbed, unable to help her. Unwilling to help her.
Aki watched their behaviour, which before was kind of flamboyant and obvious even though they were loners. Now they seemed desperate, depressed. Crow studied. Yusei observed. It was obvious that chaos was about to start...

Dun dun dunnn!
I'll be writing the next chapter soon...
It would really be great if I got some more reviews... *hint hint*
Haha, only joking ;) But it is really helpful to get a review, whether complimentary or critisism.
Thanks so much for reading!
Plenty more to come... x
