In the Dark
Prompt #014
Insomnia
The dorm, despite being abandoned now, didn't look much different than what he remembered. The coffin – who knew what it was for – was still there on one side of the room, and the symbols that were all too familiar carved into the floor.
He stepped on to them. He would have crushed them under his feet if he were able, but that was beyond his capabilities. It wouldn't matter though; soon, his mist would cloud the floor and his darkness would cloak the dorm, transforming it into his own world. A world that he had complete control over.
But first, he had to finish setting the stage. The girl lay unconscious in his arms, and he placed her artfully in the empty coffin. It was strategically placed – without any help from him – where it would be seen immediately by one passing through the door.
The perfect place to put a…hostage, if one chose to call the girl that. Perhaps victim would be a more appropriate term though, and one perhaps not worth duelling. The cards looked weak, and the blue skirt said nothing to him. After all, all girls at Duel Academia were in the Obelisk dorm, so their abilities were largely questionable. And he hadn't heard of many girls making it to the pro leagues, and even those that did, like Kaguya Mai, were pretty easy to defeat once one got under their strategies.
This Yuki Judai however sounded like interesting prey. And he would enjoy relieving the boy of whatever rare cards he held…along with some foolish confidence while he was at it.
The girl in the coffin shifted a little, then woke with a startled gasp, only to meet the mark of his pendant and find her vision swimming again before falling unconscious.
No-body would be sleeping though that night.
