Book Dragon: "Sorry I haven't updated… I had a writer's block…"
TombRobber: "Yes, and it took forever to break…then again it would figure coming from a mortal like you."

Chapter 13: A story to tell
Ryelle rested on a rotting log close to the orange-red flames dancing up and down in front of her eyes. Her wings fanned out refusing to tuck away or leave; she sighed in annoyance. Shadi watched the fire he had made with a serious face; Bakura's eyes switched back and forth to the both of them. Ryelle tried to ignore this for it was making her uncomfortable, so she broke the silence.
" I suppose I should start from the beginning of this mess…" Shadi's eyes looked up at her slowly and Bakura's continuos movement stopped on her. Ryelle took a deep breath and stared into the flames remembering that night like yesterday.
" It was an ordinary night…"
Except it was Halloween, it's a holiday when kids dress up into monsters and things for candy, anyway, I was dressed up like a women knight. My costume was a big plastic fake armor with a fake sword and shield and a large black flowing cape on my back. My siblings turned in for the night up I wanted to go down this one last street. It was a cold foggy street, or what I could see from the streetlights. I was scared at first but I wanted to make myself brave, so I ignorantly walked in the deserted street. Large trees loomed over the road and my sneakers echoed through them. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled but I continued on… until some one stepped out of the shadows about 3 yards a head of me. I froze in the very spot and I didn't know what to do. The figure started coming toward me and I became frightened, so my legs started running in a random direction, the woods. The sprinted and jumped and dodged my way through the maze of branches but no matter how fast I ran I still could heard crunching leaves right behind me. My eyes strained in the darkness for an escape and they locked onto a near by clearing. My legs were numb by this time, but I forced them to get that far. I stumped into the clearing, everything dead around me, and right into a stone well; I didn't have time to think of how it was there but I grabbed onto it when I felt and pair of clammy hands grabs my arm. It tried to pull me away from the well but the clasped on to it with all my might; I heard grunting annoyance and it suddenly stopped. After a few moments I turned to look at my attacker. White hair flew all over and big brown eyes with the oddest shape I have ever seen looked down at me. His mouth was shaped into a smirk and I realized what would have next would not be good. Something glittered in his white fist. Why what I did next was beyond me, but I reached out and grabbed it. The shape of an eye pressed into my palm and something ran through me. In the next second I was ripped apart from it and throw backward. I fell like a stone to the bottom, screaming in surprise and fright until I hit water and went into innocuousness. When I woke I was submerged and needing air; I looked around frantically through the icy water and found light up. My arms immediately started swimming up but I was still being dragged down into blackness below. I threw off the now somehow heavy armor and sword and swam frantically to the surface. Everything in front of my eyes almost disappeared from me when I broke the surface into air. After a few long minutes of gasping the air and clinging to the of the wall I realized it the air tasted and smelt odd, but I didn't care as much as I should of. I looked up the well and peered into the blackness of the sky brightly lit with stars. After a moment of rest I started to climb up the stones on the side, carefully placing my feet and hands into a strong hold and slowly descending upward. When I got to the top I pulled myself over and slid over the side of the stones and fell onto grassy ground. At this point the air was very different and my lungs hurt breathing it. The air filled my lungs intoxicating me and making me fill ill and loose my wit. My head tilted down and I fell to sleep I pure tiredness, and I felt nothing more.
When I woke the next morning I felt odd and my skin tinkled and I felt lightheaded, but I was glad I was alive, or at the time. My eyes opened slowly and I glanced around at my surroundings. The clearing was flooded with flowers and plants of all sizes. The wind blew and ruffled my hair, as I became confused. And the sunlight looked different and it was only then I realized I was soaked. The odd thing was I felt none of it and still to this day I feel nothing…
"Well… I don't feel MOST things… and I realized… when I first put it all together I was no longer in my world, I had some how left mine and entered yours, so all I wish now is to go home and be with my family again." Ryelle stopped speaking and watched the flames, not sure what to say next. They sat in a long period of silence; Ryelle knew this was an odd situation but something had to be done. She looked at Shadi feircely and let her voice loose.
" Shadi, a guardian of the millenium items, I ask you, what do you believe should be done?" Shadi looked up at her, a serious look that she couldn't interpretate to being bad or good. His mouth opened and his voice rolled out smoothly.
" To travel into the shadow realm it takes any Millenium item, but I believe in this case the item that sent you here must be used to send you back…" Ryelle nodded, it made sense why she hadn't thought of it herself was odd, but that's what happens when your mind is under pressure. She stood up and Shadi looked up at her confused.
" Where are you going?" Ryelle blinked.
" Isn't it obvious? I'm going to get the other millenium ring…" Shadi stood up quickly.
" I shall accompany you, to punish the thief and return the eye to it's owner…" Ryelle's face turned to an odd expression, she should have figured this. She decided not to say anything and flapped her wings a bit, trying to wake them up.
" Alright, I'll meet you at… the chosen youth's house." Shadi nodded and suddenly started to sink, his body now being consumed by a swirling vortex of air until he simple vanished. Ryelle blinked in amazement, she had seen it many times on television but real life was definitely cooler. Bakura blinked as well in the same surprise. After a few moments from recovering she finally realized Bakura looking at her; she tried to ignore his staring until a question popped into her mind. It pasted out of her lips before she could stop herself.
" White or Black?"
Bakura blinked at the question and stared into the other brown eyes in total confusion. White or black? What kind of question is that? He thought for a moment and opened his mouth a little.
" White… why?" He said very quietly but just loud enough to hear. Ryelle nodded and shut her eyes; she stood motionless. Bakura blinked at her in more confusion than he could have imagined he could only watch. Ryelle's forehead creased suddenly and a loud hum came from her throat loudly, echoing into his ears quickly. His eyes dulled as an odd feeling over came his whole body, he shook a little trying to rid him self of the feeling but it stayed. He opened his mouth to ask what she was doing when a short loud painful yelp leaped out of his throat in stead. Something large slid out of his back and he clenched his teeth in huge amount of pain, like carrying a heavy load that began to crush him. His eyes widened in surprise and his fingers clutched as hard as his throat, he was unable to speak. The pain coursed through his back until in the next second it vanished, and he felt as light as a feather. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up at Ryelle, her face was white but calm.
"A-Are you okay? I didn't know it would be painful…" Bakura looked up at her oddly as her eyes strayed to his back. His eyes moved very slowly and fearfully to his back and he almost screamed at what he found. Large white wings hung motionlessly above his back, a big white feather landed on the ground next to his hand silently. He stroked it with his two fingers as he glanced over to Ryelle. She smiled at him and, to his surprise, found himself smiling. Her wings leafy green wings spread to full length and she asked one question quite plainly.
"Are you ready to fly?"

TombRobber: *very unpleasant look on his face* "Get…off…ME!"
Bakura: *sweatdropping* "Um… just review."
