Of Zombies and Card Games
Chapter 11
"This is it isn't it? We are going to die here," a voice whimpered pathetically, before breaking into hysterical moans.
"Oh hush up," a firmer tone commanded, authoritative, but not cruel, "we aren't going to die anytime soon. For one we have enough food and water still to last us months, for another, I will find a way out of here. A prison is only as formidable as it's jailer, and as ours has gone MIA. I'd say we've nothing to worry about."
"You tell him kid! So see, cheer up Ryou, we'll get out no problem. Worry more about the horror of the outside, not what's going on in here," the petite brunette chirped brightly, until the end of her statement caused poor Ryou's face to crumple up further.
"Oh bravo Anzu, how about you just tell him you killed his puppy while you're at it?" their de facto leader chastised.
"Mr. Knobs?!" Ryou wailed, burying his face in his lap. The other two just rolled their eyes and left the youth to his grief.
"This pisses me off though, we don't even know who the hell locked us up or why. I doubt for our own good. When my brother," and Mokuba blanched as his statement died out. Anzu placed a hand comfortingly on his shoulder, which the teen allowed while he attempted to get his thoughts back under control. Mokuba, kidnapped once again, nothing new about that. Save for the bit where his rescuer wouldn't be coming for him this time.
"Stupid Seto," Mokuba mumbled, a mixture of anger and sorrow as he staved off bitter tears. Anzu and Ryou sat quietly, the latter finally getting his own grief under control at Mokuba's current anguish. All three sat in silence, wondering if it would ever get easier.
AN: Ok, 3 very short chapters…but still, 3 at once! I feel so proud…^_^.
Not too much going on, but look, more characters! I didn't kill everybody off!!
Yet…psh j/k. I honestly am not sure where this is going to go, although I am going to guarantee that there WILL be one character death. Just to warn you, and I won't say who, but it will happen, that's decided (mostly because it happened in the dream this is based on - so yes if you were one of the people I told about my dream, you maybe remember who). That's still off in the distant future though. I have yet to write it, which means it's still at least 10 chapters away, most likely many more.
Anyhow cheers for now, I'll try to update again in a couple weeks or so. It will depend on work and such.
