Okay guys!
This chapter is really important as is the next one. Enjoy it!
Samara's POV
"Okay your laughing is pissing me off!" I snapped and I was about to run forward when Kaiba suddenly grabbed me.
"Calm down Samara" Kaiba warned. But I ignored him and my body was shaking more violently.
"Kaiba let me go I don't want to harm you" I told him.
Kaiba hesitantly released me as I asked and Gansley. Crump said their analysis of escaping was zero percent.
"It's only a matter time before we escape our virtual prison remember when one of us defeats you your bodies will be ours for the taking" Gansley boasted.
"This guys haven't changed a bit" Kaiba hissed.
"You five stiffs are going down!" Joey snapped.
"Who's going down?" Gansley asked. A hole then appeared beneath the blonde and we all watched as Joey disappeared. Serenity hurried over to where her brother disappeared into, before the floor reformed.
"As you can see before the dueling begins we plan on to separate all of you" a hole appeared beneath Tea and she screamed as she was sucked down. Yugi tried to grab her hand and another hole appeared beneath Serenity, Duke and Tristan hurried over to her hole before it became much bigger and they too fell into it.
"I'd say your problems are plummeting!"
"Shut the hell up Baldy!" I snapped at Gansley as Kaiba suddenly hurriedly wrapped an arm around my waist just as Mokuba joined us.
"Hold on you two!" I warned the Kaiba brothers just as a hole formed beneath and we all fell into it. I wrapped my arms around Kaiba's torso as we fell into the virtual world.
"Seto, Sam!" Mokuab shouted at us.
"Don't worry you two they'll pay for this"
A Few Minutes Later.
Still Sam's POV
I was the first to wake up. I saw that I was next to Kaiba, his arm was around Mokuba was the other was around my waist.
"Bloody hell" I growled and I stood up. Mokuba was the next to wake up and he hurriedly shook his brother.
"Seto are you okay?" he asked his brother. Kaiba grunted and sat up.
"I've been in better moods and you?"
"I'm fine" Mokuba reassured his older brother. "I think"
Then the two of them turned to me.
"What about you Samara?" Kaiba asked.
"Are you hurt?" Mokuba added.
"I'm fine you two"
Kaiba nodded and Mokuba inquired.
"Where should we go?"
I suddenly felt we weren't alone and I turned and I almost felt my heart stop. In front of us was a black wolf, its golden eyes stared into mine.
"That's a huge dog" Mokuba said noticing the wolf first.
"I think that's a wolf kid" Kaiba corrected his brother.
"It is" I added and I began to walk forward towards it.
"Samara!" both Kaiba brothers protested as I approached the wolf who was sitting on its haunches. I held my hand out towards it. The wolf gave an excited yip and it licked my hand.
"No way" Kaiba said.
"It's alright she won't hurt us" I turned back to the Kaiba brothers. Both of them remained still until Mokuba came forward first, his brother following.
"How can you tell it's a female wolf?" Kaiba asked.
"Just a hunch" was all I could answer. The black wolf looked to then barked and turned around. She turned her head back to us.
"I think she wants us to follow her" Mokuba suggested.
"I think your right kid" Kaiba agreed.
The three of us then began to follow behind the black wolf as she led us through the forest. The familiar comfort of the forest made me relax.
"You look more at ease" Kaiba suddenly broke the silence as we continued following our guide.
"I grew up in the mountains of North Georgia and spent most of my time outside whenever I wasn't dueling my friends or at the local bookstore or coffee shop" I explained.
"What's Georgia like?" Mokuba asked. I looked to the black haired Kaiba brother.
"It's beautiful it's part of the original thirteen colonies"
"Sounds like that state has a lot of history" Kaiba added. I simply nodded as I focused my attention back to our wolf guide. Mokuba then asked Kaiba about who Noah was. I tuned out that conversation while I watched the black wolf suddenly come to a stop.
"Why did she stop?" Mokuba asked. The wolf turned back to us before barking up ahead and in front of us was a door.
"That's what she leading us to most likely" I answered. As though she heard me the female wolf barked again and she walked over to me and rubbed her head against my hand.
"Let's check out that door" Mokuba said before he took off running.
"Hey kid wait for us!" Kaiba shouted after his little brother. And the two of us took off running after him.
Our furry companion ran along with us. Mokuba came to a stop in front of the door as we caught up with him.
"We have to be careful" Kaiba warned as he held his hand out towards the handle. Once he touched it he pulled it and the door opened.
"Damn lights" I growled as I closed my eyes so I wouldn't go blind.
"Wait a sec" Mokuba said. "I recognize this place this is the orphanage we grew up in"
I opened my eyes and sure enough there stood the orphanage where Kaiba and Mokuba's relatives dumped them.
"Who knew it was still around"
"It's just an illusion kid" Kaiba said to his brother. "But how did Noah know we lived here once?"
It's because he has access to memories I thought in my mind. I just hope that my memories won't be played Seto and Mokuba don't need to find out where I'm from and what I am.
The thought of Kaiba knowing I wasn't human terrified me.
They won't fear us if they do discover what we are my inner wolf said to me.
It's not that I'm afraid it's what Kaiba will say or do when he eventually learns the truth about me I thought back to my inner wolf.
"You okay Sam you look troubled" Mokuba asked me breaking me out of my thoughts.
"I'm fine kiddo" I reassured him.
"Are you sure?" Kaiba questioned.
"Don't worry about me you two I'm holy crap look!" I exclaimed finally seeing a much younger pair of Seto and Mokuba standing at the gates of the orphanage.
"That us!" Kaiba exclaimed. "Noah must have somehow tapped into our memories and reprogram our pasts to see them "
"Very perspective now enjoy the trip down Memory Lane" Noah blurted.
My heart broke for Seto and Mokuba seeing their flashbacks being shown, first came Mokuba on the swing before his brother found him to provide comfort. Then the flashback changed from Seto and Mokuba walking down the bridge. Younger Seto talked how it was only the two of them and emotions would only get in the way of their future.
"You two are really cute as kids" I said. I then put a hand to my mouth and felt my face turn red.
"Thanks Sam" Mokuba said. Kaiba looked to me and he smirked and I only shot him a death glare before the scene changed once more in front of us. Young Seto and Mokuba were in the classroom playing chess and poor Mokuba lost again.
"I still suck at that game" I blurted out.
"It just takes practice Sam" Kaiba said back to me. Mokuba chuckled before we all watched as another match was prepared. Kaiba started his first move while the T.V. was playing in the background. At the sight of Gozaburo a snarl escaped my throat which spooked both Kaiba brothers.
"Samara what was that?" Kaiba questioned.
"Sorry about that but I despise Gozaburo I always have" I answered simply.
"Guys look" Mokuba interrupted and we all turned to see a familiar looking man get out of the car. I felt my fangs elongate and my body shook with anger once more. I watched as virtual Gozaburo walk past us with the orphanage director being a real jackass. I smirked when I saw young Seto and Mokuba come out of the classroom. After a brief exchange of gifts with the other children Gozaburo and the director were coming back.
Then he was stopped by young Seto and Mokuba. I watched the two exchange dialogue and I laughed at young Seto's remark at Gozaburo being a chicken of a kid. Gozaburo got annoyed but he accepted Seto's challenge of chess.
"Nice one" I told Kaiba next to me.
"Pretty impressive for a twelve year old" Kaiba agreed. I tuned out Mokuba and Seto's conversation as I watched Gozaburo and young Seto play chess. The time seemed to pass quickly before younger Seto finally won. I simply watched through the window until Kaiba protested at Mokuba who was now at the door.
"I liked the way things were before we got here at least back then you actually smiled once in awhile"
Kaiba gasped before coming towards his brother.
"Wait a second kid get a grip please you're going to fall in Noah's trap he's using these illusions to turn you and I against one another, it's all fake kid, the past should remain in the past"
Suddenly the door opened and wind blew in Mokuba's face.
"Mokuba!" Kaiba and I shouted and Kaiba quickly grabbed his younger brother's wrist. The surroundings changed to a volcano like background. I hurried over and joined Kaiba's side.
"Do you have him?" I asked.
"Yes" Kaiba reassured me. "Kid hang on"
Without thinking I held my hand out towards Mokuba as well. Kaiba then began to pull Mokuba up and the preteen grabbed my hand and together Kaiba and I pulled him up and out of danger.
"You okay kiddo?" I asked Mokuba.
"Yes I think so" Mokuba reassured me.
"Thank you Samara" Kaiba said to me as we helped Mokuba up. I nodded and we all turned around.
The black wolf was still with us and she barked to get our attention.
"I think we should get out of here and bury the past" I suggested to the Kaiba brothers.
"I agree" Kaiba said he then turned to black wolf. "Lead away wolf"
The black wolf gave Kaiba an annoyed look before she turned around and we followed behind her.
Noah's POV
I simply chuckled as I watched the girl named Samara encounter the rest of Seto and Mokuba's memories. I loved seeing the way she got worked up at my father.
"Perhaps it's time Seto and Mokuba see the real you Girl on Fire"
Later
I was a good distance away from Kaiba and Mokuba. I had just finished seeing the rest of their memories and how Gozaburo treated Kaiba. Making young Seto stay up all hours into the night with fierce tutoring and not having the chance of a child hood. That just broke my heart and angered me even more.
I was so angry I was very close to shifting. The black wolf pressed her head against mine and I simply placed a hand on top of hers between her ears.
"Samara?" Kaiba spoke first. "You okay?"
"No I'm not okay damn it!" I snapped finally giving in to my anger. Both Mokuba and Kaiba's eyes went wide.
"I know from what you spoke about Gozaburo he was a monster, but after seeing the hell he put you and Mokuba through it sickens me, no child should have gone through with what the two of you went through and that's why I'm so angry right now"
"Perhaps you have every right to be Samara" came Noah's voice.
"What do you want Noah?!" I demanded. Noah simply chuckled before replying.
"It's time for Seto and Mokuba to see the real you and the secrets you've been hiding"
That got me to widen my eyes in fear.
"DON'T YOU DARE NOAH!" I shouted. "MY PAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM SO DON'T BRING SETO AND MOKUBA INTO IT DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
"Too late Girl On Fire" Noah sneered before the surroundings changed.
"Oh god no" I said recognizing the familiar forest setting on the day Amber got shot.
"Samara is that you?" Mokuba asked and I turned around to see my ten year old self pulling Amber by her hand.
"Yes that's me Mokuba" I replied.
"Hurry I want to get home to watch Yugioh!"
"Yugioh?" Kaiba asked. "What's that?"
I didn't answer as my sister laughed.
"You really love that show don't you kid?"
"Samara is that your sister?" Kaiba then asked his eyes widening.
"Yes that's her, her name is Amber"
"She's pretty" Mokuba added.
The three of us watched as my ten year old self and my sister laugh before Amber suddenly froze.
"Get behind me Sam" Amber demanded and I saw my younger self get behind her. I bent my head down as the shot that claimed my sister was heard. I felt tears run down my face as Amber grunted and I could only watch as my younger self hurried to my sister's aide, blood pouring onto the ground. Then the scene changed went from me helping Amber to our pack's territory and my parents hurrying over. Then the scene changed again where Amber lay dying in the hospital bed.
"The bullet shattered her shoulder and the doctors couldn't do anything to stop the internal bleeding" I explained as I watched my younger self curl next to my sister's side and she drew in her last breath. In human screams of grief filled everyone's ears as my ten year old self literally ran out of the hospital room. The next scenes showed me spending two months holed up in my room, Seto and Mokuba I knew were watching intently. I simply watched as my parents tried everything they could to get me back to normal and I only shut them out. Since I had lost an unhealthy amount of weight did the counseling begin. I tuned out the council sessions Mokuba and Seto now saw. Then the scene changed to where my mental and emotional state was improving and I was on my bed looking at my duel monsters cards while watching Yugioh.
"Seto am I seeing what I'm seeing?" Mokuba asked seeing himself on the television screen. It was the third episode of the Legendary Hereo's saga.
"Yes I am kid but how can this be?" Kaiba asked now confused. I was eleven at this time and I felt my face turn red when I cheered Kaiba on. Then the scene changed again to the familiar setting of the forest. This scene happened a year and a half ago and I was watching a group of young wolves playing. Then I suddenly growled and I leapt out of the tree and I landed onto the ground in my white wolf form. I turned and barked at the group of young wolves to run and get help. They all scattered as a shot was heard and I yelped as a bullet hit my leg. I then reverted to my human form, my leg beginning to bleed.
"You little bitch you had to foil my plans didn't you?" came a cruel voice.
"F**k you Oliver!" I snapped at my sister's murderer. Oliver Greene was a human that had a crush on my sister and wanted nothing more than to date her. After Amber rejected him in a kind manner, he became obsessed with my sister. It got to the point it was so bad my family had to file a restraining order against him. Of course Oliver ignored it and when he discovered what Amber was, he decided if he couldn't have her no one could.
He then gathered a group of friends and they were the ones that hunted us that fateful afternoon. After my sister's death my family got an attorney to prosecute Oliver for murder and violation of the restraining order. Because of his family being so rich they hired a damn good defense attorney and Oliver himself paid off his witnesses so they wouldn't have to testify against him. Our family lost the case and that only angered everyone in my pack.
Then Oliver disappeared until I turned fifteen. We had another restraining order so he wouldn't approach me or my family, but like before he ignored it and he planned on kidnapping a young female wolf to keep for his own sick amusement. I had learned he had raped several female wolves in the past and I wasn't going to let him harm anybody else.
"I won't let you hurt anyone in my pack not after the hell you caused me and my family"
"You shut the hell up bitch!" he then thrust his knife into my flesh.
"Mokuba don't look" Kaiba warned his little brother. I saw Mokuba obey but Kaiba's eyes remained on my fifteen year old self as I held back screams. My leg was beginning to pool blood as the knife came out of my flesh.
"Your sister should have dated me and it's her fault she's gone and now I shall kill you" he then placed the knife back into my flesh again creating the scar above my left breast. Then a group of wolves came out of the shadows and launched themselves onto Oliver separating me from him. My parents hurried over to me and my father pulled the knife out.
"She's not doing good Laika" my father told me mother.
"I will not lose another daughter" Mom began to cry as I was hurried to our pack medical team. I watched along with Kaiba and Mokuba who had his eyes opened once more watch as I fought for my life. Luckily both the bullet and knife blade weren't silver and none of my vital organs were harmed. But I had to remain in the medical ward in the local hospital for a near damn month. Towards the end of my stay a group of my friends over to keep me company and duel.
"Hey what Season are we watching anyway?" one of my buddies asked.
"Battle City" my fifteen year old answered as I shushed him as the Yugioh opening came. Mokuba and Seto's eyes went wide as they saw the opening go through and the episode was in fact the beginning of Battle City. Then I suddenly felt something I never felt before open up to me and my inner wolf. It was a mating bond and the bond led to Kaiba. I could not believe it Seto Kaiba was my true mate. I now felt tears go down my face and without thought I took off in a run. I had to get away from Kaiba and Mokuba; no doubt they both thought I was a freak one for being a shape shifter the other for being from another world.
Seto's POV
"Seto" I turned to Mokuba after Samara's memories finished. My little brother's eyes held tears.
"I know kid" Mokuba rushed over to me and he hugged my legs and I bent down and I hugged him.
"She suffered more than we did, I mean did you see the look on that guy's face he had no remorse for murdering Amber"
"No he didn't and I think he might have done worse but I want to ask Samara about the meaning of how we saw ourselves on her televisions"
"I agree" Mokuba added and as he pulled away he looked behind us.
"Seto, Samara's gone!"
"No!" I turned to look behind me and sure enough Samara was gone. "Where did she go?!"
I hurriedly stood up.
"She ran because you would most likely think of her as a monster in your eyes Seto Kaiba" a female voice spoke.
"Who's there show yourself?!" I demanded at the voice.
"Seto look at the wolf!" Mokuba nodded at the black wolf in front of us.
The wolf suddenly glowed white and both Mokuba and I had to cover our eyes for a second. When the light vanished I looked ahead of me and I my eyes went wide. Standing in front of me was a woman of my age, maybe older she had black hair with matching emerald green eyes. She wore the same outfit as the day she died in. In front of me stood Samara's sister, Amber.
"Amber" was all I could say.
"We meet at last true mate of my sister"
0.0!
So Seto and Mokuba finally know the hell Samara suffered from her sister's death, as do they find out she's a shape shifter and from another world. Also I bet you weren't expecting Amber to come back.
She's still dead but I wanted to bring her back for the first part of Season 3. Also Samara's mating bond with Kaiba is finally opened. The next chapter will be a little more sweet instead of sad.
Thanks for reading you guys rock!
