Chapter Sixteen
I looked at my attacker, great just fucking great. I had no idea who this loony was, or WHY he wanted to kill me, but I could tell he was determined to do it. "Now, how would you like to die, slowly and painfully or, wait, that's the only option!!!" I shrank back, I couldn't see any way out of this mess. This guy was obviously crazy, his eyes were wild and his voice sent shivers down my spin. Things were looking bleak, but then as if some one had heard my prayers Seto Kaiba appeared behind the man, base ball bat in his hands. With one swift movement he knocked him out. I don't know what came over me but I threw myself in his arms and broke down. "Thank you" I whispered
I could feel him smile "Any time" he held me at arms length "It's not safe hear, you have to get out, the faster the better, I'll see if I can wake up your family" he said his voice changing completely, I nodded
"I have no where to go" I said
"Get your things, no one is safe in this house, you can stay at mine until this whole thing blows over"
I nodded "Ok..." I ran upstairs to my room and grabbed any thing I could throwing it into a traveling bag. I ran outside and to the neighbors. An elderly couple that ran a ranch the husband answered "Hello Katie, what brings you hear?"
"Hello Mr. Satra, my family needs to leave for a while, I don't know for how long but could you take care of Dragon for me while were gone, I'll pay for all the expenses and for your trouble" I said this all in one breath
"Of course, just bring him into the barn"
I smiled "Thank you so much Mr. Satra" I ran off to Dragons pen grabbed him by the rains and led him into the barn, Mr. Satra smiled as I ran back into the house. My family was all packed, I didn't ask. We were in the car and headed to the Kaiba residence in less than ten seconds. I was glad no ne was hurt, well, excluding my attacker. Kaiba took out his cell phone "Hello, police? Yes, I'd like to report an attempted murder, yes it took place....
LATER
I looked around "Seto, don't you ever NOT get take out?"
He shook his head "Mokuba and I live off it, we only buy lunch food, snacks drinks"
"Yet you have an oven and cookware" I remarked "Some how your logic escapes me"
"Your not the first to say that" he retorted pulling out a bag of chips "Why do you care?"
"I feel the need to cook" I answered, plan, simple, right? Wrong, I cooked when my mind was in turmoil, when my mother died the house was lined with bake-goods.
He handed me a credit card "If you need to buy food then use this" he left his trench coat trailing behind him. I sighed and sat up on the counter top remembering what had happened last night. I shuddered at the memory of the mans voice, the police had talked to me until I was about to fall asleep and then some, but I kept thinking about my mother, my hands unconsciously playing with my necklace, the two intertwined crystals with a small sword through it. It was a family heirloom, it had been in my family for six generations, but I was the first to get all three pieces except the first owner who gave them to her three grandchildren.
***FLASH BACK***
I was ten again; my mother lay on her bed "Katie.... You know that.... I'm dieing.... Right?" I nodded although I didn't want to hear what I was about to "Take this...." she handed me her piece of the crystal "As long as you have it I'll... Always be... With you, along with every one else who ever had it" she said, A sad smile came on her face "Katie, always be strong, don't let other rule your life, and remember that I love you and will always be with you... Not in body, but in mind and heart... Good bye Katie.... I'll miss you"
I stifled a cry, knowing I couldn't save her "Good bye mom, I love you" She smiled one last time and closed her eyes forever more
***END FLASH BACK*** (Anyone need a tissue?)
I was crying my face buried in my hands, soft sobs escaping.... It had been so long since I let it all out, would it be so bad if I just let it go and stopped holding it in? Tears were falling down my face freely my body trembling. I felt two strong arms wrap around me, I knew it was Seto. I buried my face into his chest, he pulled me close "It's ok, let it all out" he cooed stroking my hair and holding me close.
I shook my head "I-I can't" I choked out
"There's no shame in it" he said softly, I wondered why he cared, part of me knew but wouldn't admit it "what he did to you-
"It's not him" I whispered pulling away from his arms and pulling out my wallet and taking out a picture. My mother aunt and uncle stood there, my uncle in the middle and my mother and aunt on ether side, he was holding a baby me who was sleeping. Seto peered at the picture
"Who are the two woman?" he asked looking at my mother
"That" I said pointing to my uncles left "Is my aunt Lizz, my mother twin sister who died, that" I said pointing to her uncle "Is t, and he's holding a baby me. That" I said pointing to my mother "Is my mom, who died when I was ten" my voice was a bit raspy
He looked at the picture "I know what it's like to lose a loved one" he said, his voice soft and small "My mother died giving birth to Mokuba, my dad in a car crash. I was nine when my mother died, and ten when my dad followed suite. My mom left me her ring" her said pulling out a chain around his neck with an engagement ring on it. It was a beautiful ring, gold with a diamond in it, nothing spectacular, but it was very pretty none the less "Other than that I have nothing left of her"
I pulled out my necklace "The intertwined Crystals were my mother's and aunt's, the sword's T's. I guess we've both got one thing we can bitch about together" I said with a forced smiled
Seto smiled warmly at me "Guess so"
D.T.: Not the longest chapter, but I'm ending it there. Justin, how's Bakura doing
Justin: Well.... I think he's alive.... Yeah, he's alive, but bashed up pretty badly
Bakura: *looks at the reader* Help me.... review or she'll do worse
D.T.: I will to, and now *pulls out a rabid pink fluffy animal* I can sick THIS on you if you don't review, so if you want to live, and you don't want Bakura to die, REVIEW
Justin: *snore* Wha? Huh? Who
D.T.: Do the dc!!
Justin: D.T. Owns squat, excluding all OC and me
