Can the Future be Changed?

Chapter 4: Alone

Yugi was on the rough stone sidewalk. His face was dripping with tears. He let out heart wrenching sobs. Yugi was able to block Yami from feeling any of his heart's pain, just in case he was able to feel it though.

Finally getting a hold of himself, Yugi wiped off his tear streaked face with his hands. After calming down a little, he stood up and continued to walk to his home.

On the way, he saw the watercolor painting in the endless sky as the bright ball of gold started to settle in the east. After fishing in his pocket, Yugi opened his door with the key and locked it behind him. He took off his sneakers and left them by the door.

Yugi wandered into the kitchen. He got out a slice of wheat bread, strawberry jelly, peanut butter, and a plastic knife. Carefully he made his sandwich dinner. A few minutes later he had got a napkin and was seated at the table beside a glass of milk.

'I'm not very hungry…but…' thought Yugi, 'I still should eat something.'

He ended up taking a couple bites of the sandwich and drinking all of his milk. After, he put the glass plate in the sink and started to go up stairs.

"Ring! Ring!" The phone called aloud suddenly.

Yugi raced down the few slowly climbed steps and to the ringing phone.

"H-hello?" he called into the receiver.

"Is that you Yugi?" came a familiar voice.

"Grandpa?!" he cried in confusion.

"Ow Yugi, not so loud." Solomon replied.

"Sorry. How come you called here?" asked a happy Yugi.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay. So what are you and Yami doing?"

"Oh he-" Yugi stopped himself trying to think of what to say.

"Yugi are you still there?" asked Solomon.

"I was just making some popcorn because Yami and I are going to watch a movie." He lied.

"That's good. I will be back on this Tuesday or Wednesday."

"Oh. I love you Grandpa!"

"Bye Yugi. I'll be home soon." He replied before the line went dead.

Yugi was upset with himself for lying to his Grandpa. He hadn't ever lied to him before.

"I didn't want to ruin Grandpa's trip…" he trying to reassure himself it was for a good reason.

Yugi ran up the stairs and changed into his light blue pajama's that had yellow stars on them. After that, he brushed his teeth and not having anything else to do, feel asleep with guilt.

Soon after he closed his innocent lavender eyes, the puzzle hung on the bedpost started to glow the blood color again.

{Dream}

A boy with multi colored hair paced to try and get to his destination in time. The bell rang as it did every hour, and time seemed to slow…

"BOOONG!"

"BOOOONG!"

"BOOOOONG!"

"BOOOOOONG!"

"BOOOOOOONG!!"

"BOOOOOOOONG!!!"

As the last cry of the bells sounded, time returned to normal, and an ear piecing sound rang through the afternoon air. It was followed by a cry of pure pain and agony that rang out through the thin air. The boy stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a young woman on the cold ground.

"I-It can't…be…" He gasped and then screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

The woman lay on the ground before a boy with the same hair, a guy with brown hair, and a guy with blond hair. She was soaked in crimson red blood. It poured out of the body from a wound in her chest. Her heart had been shot. The boy brushed past others and toward the blood, as tears formed in his eyes. He hugged the blood soaked girl and cried his eyes out, screaming in shock and surprise from the loss of the young woman's life. His clothes were dyed red from the blood after he was forced away. Soon everything faded away, leaving him all alone…Or so he thought as a voice started to speak in a language that he could bearly make out…

"It …happen…Yugi…hurry…"

{End Dream}
