Chapter 3- Danger in the Alleyway
Téa stood frozen in place as she heard the sound of the gun being fired. Very suddenly she was thrown ungracefully onto the ground. She had shut her eyes tightly against the pain that pulsated through her body. She didn't dare open her eyes; she didn't want to see the blood rushing out of her. She also didn't want to move, it was just too painful. Yet again she didn't know if she could move because she couldn't feel her body, it was completely numb.
"Ahh!" She heard someone scream out in pain. Gathering some courage she opened her eyes to see Yugi standing in front of her. He had his back toward her, but there was no denying it. She could tell by his unique hairstyle that it was indeed him. She couldn't tell what was going on, but the thug had a look of horror plastered on his face. She heard a crunch sound, like metal being squeezed. She saw the thug's eyes open up wide and then he took off running, as he ran he ordered his buddies to run away as well.
Yugi turned to Téa and gave her a small smile; blood trickled down the side of his mouth. He tried to take a step forward and faltered, causing him to land unceremoniously onto the ground. Téa gasped in horror as she finally realized she hadn't been shot, because Yugi had taken the bullet for her. She quickly sprang to her feet and knelt down beside him. Her eyes radiated fear and worriment and it was all for Yugi.
"Yugi, you've been shot," Téa said, worry in her voice. "We have to get you to a hospital immediately."
Yugi moaned and opened his eyes. "No hospitals." He said softly. "The bullet just grazed me. I'll be all right." He tried to reassure her, but she didn't look totally convinced. She glanced down to his mid-section and she could see blood pooling down on the floor beside him. She grazed her hand over his black shirt and felt the dampness there. "You need help." She told him.
"No I can't go to a hospital." He said smoothly. His eyes pleading with hers for. "Please, no hospitals." He added desperately. "Promise me."
Téa nodded reluctantly and agreed. She didn't want to agitate him. "Okay, Yugi, I promise, no hospitals."
Yugi gave her a weak, yet grateful smile. "Thanks." He said before he passed out.
Téa stood up off from the ground. "What am I going to do?" Téa asked herself in desperation. She needed to get Yugi out of the alleyway, first of all. He was slender, but tall, she didn't think she would be able to move him, but she had to try. She knelt back down beside him and lifted him gently off the ground.
She ducked under his arm to support him. She grabbed on to his hand, which rested above her shoulder, and shifted so that she could support his weight. She walked very slowly and gently. Lucky for her he wasn't too heavy and her home was only two blocks away. Her strength would hold out for that long. The nighttime streets were empty and she reached her apartment without any interruptions. She shifted Yugi against the wall to support him as she fumbled for the keys in her purse for her apartment. Upon finding them she opened the front door. "Come on Yugi," She said shifting his weight back onto herself. When they had passed through the threshold, she shut the door behind her by kicking it.
She took him to her bedroom and laid him out on the bed. He let out a pain full moan as she shifted him into a comfortable position on the bed. "Sorry." She apologized quickly, but his eyes remained closed. After she had placed him on the bed, she happened to glance down to her hand and gasped in horror. It was stained red with fresh blood. She had to check his wound, quickly. Very carefully she removed his black trench coat and his black shirt. The shirt felt damp in her fingers, it was soaked in blood from his wound. He was bleeding profusely.
Now that she had removed his shirt, she could see a wound on his left side. She couldn't see it clearly thought, blood was smeared all over it and it continued to ooze out blood. Téa made a mad dash to the bathroom, grabbed a white towel and came back to Yugi's side. She proceeded to clean off the blood, leaving the white towel red. She could now see the wound and it looked horrible, a gaping hole in his abdomen.
She grabbed a giant wad of cotton cloth and gently pressed it over the wound. She held it there as she gently bandaged him up, hoping to slow down the flow of blood. When she finished she gazed at him, a worried expression on her face. She had made a mistake by promising him not to take him to a hospital. He needed a doctor, urgently, or else he would die. She deeply regretted promising him that she wouldn't take him to a doctor. She was pulled out of her thoughts as a hand gripped her wrist.
"No doctors." Yugi said softly, yet firmly.
Her face twisted into a painful grimace. His hold on her hand was stiff and he was hurting her.
"Sorry." He added when he noticed her face and he released his grip on her hand. "Please, you can't take me to a hospital." He pleaded.
Téa didn't reply instead she glanced down at the already blood soaked bandages. Then her gaze shifted to his face, zeroing in on his amethyst melancholic eyes pleading with her blue eyes. She sighed in frustration. "All right, no hospitals or doctors, but you're bleeding too much." She informed him.
"It doesn't matter." He replied simply.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Téa inquired curiously.
Yugi ignored her question, his eyes drooped, closed and then they quickly opened. "Téa please hold my hand." He said in a scared voice, like a small child torn away from his mother. He extended his hand out to her. She reached out and held his hand firmly in hers. As soon as their hands were clasped together, Yugi's eyes closed and his hand went limp in her grasp.
"Yugi?" Téa called out to him. "Yugi!" She said more urgently, sharply. He didn't reply. "Please don't die." She said softly and she fell down to her knees. "Please don't die, Yugi." She broke down into tears. He had saved her twice and now that she could save him. She had sentenced him to certain death.
