**************Annie Are You Okay?********************








-4 weeks later-


Annie woke up to the sun that was peeking through her window. It was quiet through the house, she flipped back the covers and set her feet on the fuzzy tan carpet. She listen hard.

=Ryou? Bakura?= Annie thought when she couldn't hear none of her cousins moving through out the house.

She walk out her room and went to go peek in her cousin room. Sometimes when they were still alsleep; she would see the darker one holding her cousin. She smiled @ that thought; she took aliking to the dark one.

Annie walk into the kitchen and found a note on the table, it was written in japanese. She tried to make out the note, but couldn't really since Yugi was still giving her japanese leeson.

'CRASH!'

Annie stood frozen as she heard the window of glass being shattered.



**********************
'THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'

'THUMP!THUMP!'
***********************


Annie looked around as she heard the something climb in. She held the note close to her chest, too scared to do anything and think.



*******************
Aaow!
As he came into the window
It was the sound of a
crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on
the carpet
******************


A cloaked figure climbed in Annie's bedroom its fist bleeding when he punched through the window.

He walked in to discover the the bed empty and made his way to the door. Red stains were left on the carpet from his fist.

Annie hid underneath the table and held her knees close to her as she heard the footsteps came closer.


******************
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So, she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down it was
her doom
*************************


The figure saw Annie underneath the table and went striaght for her. Annie yelped as the chairs collided into each other when he tried to reach her. She scrambled up and ran to her room. She closed the door and back up.
She reached for the chair in her room and stuck it underneath the door knob; hopeing that would buy her some time.

The figure tried to open the door, but found it stuck.

"Heheheh, trying to save your hide, eh?"

He backed up and kicked the door open. Annie screamed when the door flung open she looked around, but couldn't find nothing to defen herself.

The figure raised a hand with a gun in his clenched fist. Annie watch him aim the gun @ her.

Annie dove out the window just when he started to shoot. She scrambled to her feet and took off.

"Damn!"

The figure raced to the window and aimed the gun @ Annie. He fired, but missed cause she was moving alot.

"Shit man!"

The figure jumped out the window and raced after her.

Bakura and Ryou came home to discover the chairs messed up and blood on the carpet. Bakura stared @ the mess as Ryou dropped the bags of food.

"ANNIE!!!" he raced upstairs.

Bakura put the food on the table and looked around the kitchen. He heard a scream come from the room and took off.

He saw Ryou kneeling on the floor a piece of glass held in his hand. Bakura looked around in Annies room too see the window shattered and bullets in the walls.

Bakura kneeled to his light and embraced him.

"She okay. Who ever is after her missed, she okay." Bakura reassured him.

Ryou nodded and looked @ the phone. He heard the sirens in the distance.

"Maybe one of the nieghbors called the police. I'll call the others, maybe they could help."

Annie raced down the street with the figure closed behind her.

=I wish I could run faster so i'm able to lose him!=

Annie looked behind her to see the guy gaining. Annie looked away and closed her eyes as she try to gain more speed.

=This is ridiculious! I should have had her dead by now! Instead i'm chasing the bitch!=

He put more speed on and tried to reach for the girl.

"UNGH!" Annie was thrown into a wall. Blood was spitted from her mouth.

She tried to pry the hands off her neck as they held her tightly. She shut her eyes when she saw something that look like a poker; raised to her face.


****************
So they came into the
outway
It was Sunday-what a black
day
*******************

Jou raced ahead as he saw the figure had Annie by the neck. He tackled him before he could use the poker to do what ever he was going to do.

Annie fell to the ground and held her neck.

"ANNIE!"

Annie turned to see her cousins and their friends coming. She smiled reliaf knowing everything was going to be ok.

"GHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Annie turned to see Jou being held up in the air by her attacker. Her greens eyes widen, she stared @ the hand as the mark on her forehead burned.

"OUCH!"

The attacker released his hold on Jou neck and rubbed his burned hand. Annie raced to Jou side to make sure he was all right. She heard a growl and saw the guy about to lunge for her.

She dodge the attack and duck underneath her arms. She raced passed him and tore down the street.

"COME BACK HERE!!"

The attacker left Jou and went after Annie.

Honda stayed behind with Jou to make sure he was okay. The rest even Isis ran ahead to see if they could catch up Annie and the attacker.

Annie was getting tired, any minute now she was going to pass out unless her sun symbol had something else to teach her. She glanced behind to see the guy still coming on strong.

Okay, I want everyone to clear the area right now!!!
************************

Annie fell backwards as the people around them got up in surprise to see a cloak figure attacking a small girl.

Annie wiped the blood away from her mouth and flick it on the ground. She stood up and stood in a fighting stance.

"Come on! You thing you stand a chance against me??"

The guy removed his cloak and stood there revealing himself.

=Malik! Should have known.=

Annie felt the symbol on her forehead glow. Malik saw the glow underneath her bangs and chuckled, he raised the gun and pointed @ Annie.

The people around them scream as they saw the gun. They all began to panick. Malik groan and raise the gun in the air and shot.

Everyone fell silence.

"Thats much better." he pointed the gun @ Annie again. "You should know your weakness."

Annie shook her head. Malik just chuckled.

"Your eyes are you weakness. You need to see in order to use your powers; and if you can't see, well you will find out soon."

Malik click the gun to get it ready. Annie covered her forehead as the glow just got warmer. She turned around and began to run.

Malik sighed and steady his gun.

"Fine, die if you want to." Malik pulled the trigger.


***************
Aaow!
(Annie are you ok?)
I don't know!
(Will you tell us that
you're ok?)

*************************

Malik dropped the gun to see the ground split of where Annie used to stand. A red glow in the split ground; glowed.

"How could she run so fast like that?"

"MALIK!"

Malik turned to see his older sister Isis and the other running towards him. Malik scowled and whip out his rod.

"Malik no!" Isis tried to reach him before he disappeared, but it was too late.

"Damn! Who the hell did that to the street??" Jou asked; pointed @ the red glowing trail.

*fron view of Annie face was pointed in front of the camera*

Annie race down the streets and made fast turns. She ran by a store causing everyone to wonder what the hell that just went by.

A minute pass and a trail of a red glow follow after. A fire traveled down in the trail and caused everyone to panick.

Annie raced down the streets and zipping between buildings. The mark on her forehead was revealed as her bangs were flung back the wind.

A bright sun mark was seen and it glowed brighter.

*************************************************

Annie stop @ a ship docking that was near the sea. She sat down and tried to catch her breath.
She watch the sun go down for the day.

The mark on her forehead glowed down as the sun went down. Annie felt warm tears run down her cheeks.

She raised a hand to wipe them away and did the same to the other cheek.

=I gotta get home soon. Ryou and everyone else maybe worried sick about me; after what happen today.=

Annie stood up, she watch the last ray of the sun go down. She turned and walked down the dock.



~~~~~~~Game Shop~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone look up to see a girl in her plaid dirty p'js; with a dirty face that was wet from tears.

Ryou scrambled from the chair causeing it to fall. He ran to Annie and threw his arms around her. He sobbed on the girls shoulders muttering things that she didn't understand.

Annie return the hug and laid her head on his shoulders; letting the tears rolled down her cheek.

"vande..."

Anzu, Jou, Honda, Yugi, Yami, and even Bakura joined the little group hug.
