Memories Of Death~*~*~*~By: LinkGirl
Chapter 4: The Fires Of Death
Author's Note: Just so you know, this chapter is Bakura remembering. (Remember the ~*~ at the end of the last chapter??? That means a transition, of some kind!)
-----------------------------------
"FIRE!!!" someone shouts.
No one knew how the fire had started. Maybe it was lightning…I don't know, but I can't stop to think about that right now. I have to get out.
I fallow everyone to the main door. It's going to be all right! I know it's going to be all right! I'm so scared.
"Oh no! It's blocked too!" I hear Téa scream out.
The door is blocked by a raging fire, like all the other exits had been. Some people had managed to get out before us, but the rest of us are trapped inside this burning building.
I look around. There are people crying, prying, and others holding each other. We all know there is no way out.
"YUGI!!" Joey calls into the crowd, "Come here!"
Yugi runs over to Joey, with Téa, Tristan, and me fallowing.
"What is it Joey?"
Joey points to a high window, in which only someone as small as a child could fit through. "Yug, I can hoist you up so you can get out!"
"But Joey!" He pauses for a second and looks at the four of us, he seems so scared, "What about you guys?"
"We'll be just fine," Tristan says trying to calm Yugi down, even though all of us know that we weren't going to survive.
"If you don't go now it will be too late!" Joey says, tears now rolling down his face.
I see Yugi glance at all of us again, tears soaking his face. He nods and Joey grabs Yugi around the waist and pushes him up to the window. Yugi looks back once more and smiles weakly.
"Good…bye…" I hear him whisper and he jumps out, disappearing from our sight.
Téa breaks out crying. Joey puts his arm around her, trying to comfort her. They both sink to the ground, getting out of the smoke that has quickly accumulated above our heads.
I hear the evil sprit suddenly get angry in my head, 'If you're not going to try and save us, then I will!!!' My body breaks out into a run passing my friends without a word.
"BAKURA!!" I hear Tristan's voice yell after me, "Come back!" My head jerks backwards and I see he is running after me.
I try and shout something out to him, but I am unable to. The thief has taken full control over my body, trying to somehow save himself. He starts to cough; the smoke is getting too thick.
He suddenly stops running and I feel the Millennium Ring magically make it's way though my uniform. He smirks as the Millennium Ring begins to glows; he obviously knows what he's doing. 'It's time to get out of here.'
"BAKURA!!!!" I feel Tristan's hand touch my shoulder. But it's too late for the evil sprit to stop…whatever he's doing. "What the-?"
"NO!!" the thief screams.
Then everything goes dark.
