Wishing Dreams Were Reality
Chapter 2: Shadowed Future
I'm so sorry it took this long to post this chapter; I hope you find it to your liking. For anyone who cares, there were a few main reasons this was delayed. One was the fact that I wrote this chapter at the same time I wrote the other one, but my notebook disappeared and I just found it; Second, my sister got the computer taken away and my stupid school has bess and bess refuses to allow me to access fanfiction.net (don't ask me why my grandmother takes away my internet/phone privileges because my sister is a jack*ss) Sorry for the mild cursing, but it pisses me off so much! Anyway, sorry for ranting and taking up your valuable time. *bows* On to the story!
This chapter is dedicated to Rosemarie McGrath, who passed away Sunday night at the age of 93-94 years of age. She was my great-grandmother. May she remember that I still love her and will miss her greatly, even as time goes on. She will be remembered in my heart forever.
Yami's POV:
/Yami!!!/ I heard Yugi scream faintly. I had been in the middle of ringing up a customer's groceries, but Yugi always came first.
//Yugi!!// Though I listened intently for what seemed like an eternity afterward, there was no reply.
//Yugi!// I yelled again, fear and anger creeping into my voice.
Someone had silenced my aibou to keep him from replying; when I found out who they were, they were so going down! No one messes with my light! I was suddenly jolted back to reality by a elegantly pedicured hand waving in front of my face belonging to the customer I had been serving. Caught unaware, I glared at her; I swear my eyes were shooting daggers. If looks could kill, she'd be at least six feet under. (A/N:enough with the descriptions, ne? You get that he's feeling pretty angry)
I was so shocked to find that my glares had no effect on the firey redhead and she was just getting more impatient by the second. For once, my job meant nothing to me. My light was in trouble and by Ra,no one (mortal or otherwise) was going to stop me from going to save him! With a curt nod to the woman, I slipped on my cape and headed out into the oncoming darkness.
Yugi's POV:
I woke with a start, cold sweat soaking my clothes. A quick glance around at my surroundings told me I had had no idea where I was, except for the fact I knew sure as hell I wasn't at home. The place where I currently resided had no carpet, just cold, hard concrete and was extremely dark, which made the whole situation completely worse.
By groping in the darkness, I discovered I was in a very small room, empty of anyone or anything but me. There were no windows or lights, which accounted for the lack of light, and only one door. I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it as hard as I could, hoping desperately that whoever was keeping me here had gotten hasty and forgotten to lock it, but no such luck. That had been my last hope.
Defeated, I sunk back into the nearest wall and sank to the floor. 'This isn't happening, it can't be happening...it's all a horrible dream,' I told myself, trying to hold back oncoming tears; in my heart, I knew I was lying, so my peace was shortlived. I was absolutely sure I was awake, but I had no idea why I was here. I hugged my knees to my chest tightly, wondering why Yami hadn't tried to contact me through our mindlink.
'Maybe he didn't care about me anymore,' I thought bitterly, but the thought of Yami not rescuing me absolutely broke my heart and spirit. Rivers of tears streamed down my face and I did nothing to stop them. I hid my face in my knees and sobbed until I was unable to cry anymore. Of course by then, I was completely exhausted and promptly fell into an uneasy sleep.
3rd Person POV:
Suddenly someone walked into the room where Yugi was sleeping and shook him rather roughly. Yugi just groaned and rolled over. The man was about to kick him in the side, but Yugi yawned and stirred, rubbing his eyes.
"Wake up, kid," the man snarled. "We're going on a little trip."
Yugi blinked in surprise.
Feeling no resistance from the surprised boy, he pulled him to his feet and pushed him out the door. He fell in line with a group of children outside, aging from about 6 to 15. Although their ages varied, they all had one thing in common: they didn't look very happy.
They were led outside and crammed into a minivan with tinted windows. Although it was foolish, Yugi only wished that Yami would find him and save him soon.
