~Chapter Twenty-One~
Shaina's P.O.V
The doctor finally comes back after an hour of waiting. "Fortunately, your sister has survived, although she is in critical condition." He says. A sigh of relief escapes me.
"It's miraculous really. Though your sister was stabbed, none of her major organs are punctured, thus giving her time to live. It took a lot of procedures and intense surgery, but she'll recover within a week after getting some blood transfers and surgeries." The doctor explains.
"May I see her?" I ask quietly.
The doctor nods. "Of course, this way." He says, leading us to her room. Once we get there, he leaves us to see her.
I sigh as I look at Shana. Atem puts his hand on my shoulder again. "I'm sorry Shana, for your sister." He says sincerely.
I manage to smile at him tiredly. "It's okay, Shana will be alright. It's just that I already lost my father, I can't lose my sister as well."
Atem gazes at me with concern. "He died?"
"He was murdered." I say bluntly.
His expression turns regretful. "Oh. I'm sorry."
"You don't need too. I just don't want to lose Shana the same way my father died." I say. We're both silent for a moment.
"You go on ahead with Kaiba and Mokuba to the Rare Hunters' base. I'll catch on."
"But-"
"Go." I say firmly. Atem steps back and nods, then goes out of the room.
I turn back to my sister and watch her for a few minutes. I swear, once I get near Marik, I'll make him regret that he ever hurt you. I promise…
All of the sudden, somebody drapes a sack over me. I punch and kick like crazy. "Lemme out you jerks, let me out!" I shout angrily.
"Gosh this girl is feisty." I hear a gruff voice say.
"We can take care of that, but we must bring the girl to Master Marik." I hear another, deep voice say. Wait! It's Odion and the Rare Hunters. Oh crap, they're kidnapping me! Not if I can help it.
I start to thrash around more. "Pharaoh! Anybody, help, the Rare Hunters are-" And before I could even finish my statement, something hits my head, and I black out.
I wake up, finding myself strapped down and blindfolded. "I see that you've woke up." I hear somebody say. I growl. Marik!
"Marik, you bastard, you hurt my sister and now you're gonna pay for it!" I yell, struggling from my restraints.
Marik laughs mockingly. "It was a good way to dispose of your sister anyway. Did I mention that we kissed?"
"YOU DID WHAT NOW?!" I shout angrily.
He chuckles. I can practically see through the blindfold that he's in front of me, smirking. "I chose you especially for a mission of mine…instead of using Wheeler, I will use you. It's more plausible, since you're the girl the Pharaoh loves. And most of all you have the Guardian Cards, which will gurantee defeat for the both of you."
It hits me quickly. He's going to take control of my mind and make me duel against Yugi! "No! I won't let you control my mind!" I yell, trying to break free.
Marik chuckles. "Try as you might, but even the strongest of wills can fall to me." He then brings out his Rod, and I see it glowing through the blindfolds.
"NO!" I shout as blackness swallows me.
