Driven Insane
Anzu sighed tiredly as she heard the strong winds blow outside. The wind was picking up causing loose branches from trees to hit the side of her house. She heard a crackle of thunder and lightning outside. What was odd was the fact that there was no rain in fact this storm was very much like the ones seen in horror moves.
The horror movies with zombies rising from the ground and attacking innocent people, gah don't think about this now Anzu. You'll be fine everything will be fine. No need to be scared. Anzu told herself as the storm continued to cause a racket outside. A flash of lightning struck the ground with white hot intensity as the thunder boomed. The once light room went black causing the brunette to panic. The power had gone out and she was stuck all alone in the room with nothing but loud thunder and brief flashes of lighting to keep her company. She wondered if Mokuba had woken up, or if he had even gone to sleep. She decided she'd check on the kid.
Rising up slowly as to not trip over anything she felt her way to the bedroom Mokuba was residing in. She saw a light and a lump tangled in a mass of blankets; Anzu giggled as Mokuba poked his face out of the blanket with a flashlight in his hand.
"Anzu the lights don't work." Mokuba said, Anzu sighed.
"How would you know? You were supposed to be sleeping." Anzu said. Mokuba hung his head in shame.
"I woke up because of the thunder and I was going to get you, but when I went to turn on a light it didn't work. Sorry I'm just a scaredy cat." Mokuba said. Anzu smiled sweetly and sat on the bed next to the black-haired Kaiba brother. She sunk into the soft mattress and then fell off of the bed.
"Anzu are you all right?" Mokuba asked concerned Anzu just laughed and got up.
"Yeah, I just forgot how soft and springy this thing is." Anzu said while rubbing her sore bottom. Another flash of lighting and a boom of thunder erupted from the sky. Mokuba yelped and squeezed onto Anzu for dear life. Anzu just patted Mokuba's head softly. She looked to the floor where Mokuba had dropped his flashlight so she picked it up. Anzu stood up leaving a scared Mokuba on the bed.
"I'm going to try to get the power box to work. Stay here and don't move I have an extra flashlight on the dresser." She said, and she tossed Mokuba the flashlight that was sitting on the dresser. Mokuba nodded and got under the covers when another loud thunder crash came about. Anzu left the room feeling guilty for leaving Mokuba there, but she didn't want him to be down in the basement with her. It was really creepy down there and it would just give him nightmares. Another crash of thunder was heard, Anzu started to mumble to herself.
"It's just clouds bumping into the Stratosphere." She said quietly trying to reassure herself. Anzu opened the cold knob of the basement door and started to walk down the old creaky steps. Every time she took a step the creaky stairs would startle her. She smelled the air it smelled horrible, like burning leather. She held her nose with her left hand and held the flashlight in her right hand. She took a deep breath when she crossed the final step. She couldn't quite remember where the fuse box was but she was determined to find it. She uncovered her nose, the smell had gotten worse. Anzu felt like vomiting, the putrid odor reminded her of death. She thought that maybe a few squirrels had gotten in and died but nothing like that could've smelled like this. Could it? She shrugged the thought off and decided to continue on her quest for the fuse box. She felt around on the damp walls, no one ever came down into the basement unless it was an emergency. The walls were wet but she couldn't figure out why. It hadn't rained in a while she shined the flashlight on her hand and discovered it was red. She gasped in terror as the flashlight reviled a crimson liquid all over the walls. She smelled the scent on her hands; it was the smell of blood. It was fresh and she could tell that much. She continued to walk on she ran into something squishy, she turned around but she wished she hadn't. There was a person hanging from a rope with blood running out of a cut in his stomach and one on his face. His clothes were stained with blood and they were shredded. He looked much like a rag doll, he smelled worse than anything she had ever smelled. The stench was overwhelming to her, she felt the need to vomit grow larger. Her heart stopped when she figured out who this man was. It was her father; tears formed a painful fountain in her eyes. She sunk to her knees landing in a pool of crimson, she was surrounded by this blood it was everywhere. It covered her body; she was now uncomfortable and deeply disturbed. Who could've done such a thing? She decided to find the fuse box and get the hell out of there. She stood up still crying, she walked on quickly this time. She slipped on something, more blood. Anzu hit the ground with a painful thud and she cast her gaze upwards. With morbid horror she realized looking up was a bad choice to make. A woman this time was hanging from the ceiling. She had similar wounds that her father had suffered, but one of her legs was cut off and was lying below her body. Anzu stood there like a deer caught in headlights, she didn't know what to do. It's not everyday that your parents are hanging in the basement bleeding and smelling like rotting flesh. Anzu couldn't take it, she ran out of there not caring about the stupid fuse box. She ran to get Mokuba; he stared in terror at her.
"Anzu you're covered in blood." He said staring at her with concern in his eyes.
"Mokuba we have to get out of here. We need to call your brother." She said and Mokuba nodded she took his hand and she dragged him out of the house. It started to rain and it was a cold rain. Anzu didn't stop running, she didn't want to look back either. The rain pierced her skin like needles, unkind and with no mercy. The blood soon washed off of her and she gave Mokuba a piggy back ride all the way to the only place Anzu could think to go. Yugi's house was the closest and it would prove to be the best place to go.
Please let him be home! Anzu thought, she knocked on the door and she heard weary footsteps approach the door. The knob turned slowly and Yugi was shown wearing only his boxers. He rubbed the sand out of his eyes and he gave a short yawn.
"Anzu why are you here?" He asked sleepily.
"Yugi we can't stay at my house something bad has happened." Anzu said, Yugi noticed that she was very pale and she looked like she had just seen a ghost. He invited her and Mokuba in, and he turned on a light.
"Wait your power works?" Anzu asked and Yugi nodded.
"Yeah, something wrong Anzu?" Yugi asked, Anzu sighed and looked at Mokuba. He looked worn out.
"Mokuba needs rest. Can we talk after he falls asleep?" Anzu asked and Yugi nodded, he let the younger Kaiba brother sleep in his bed. They went into the living room and they sat on the couch.
"Now tell me what's on your mind?" He asked, she could tell he was tired and she felt bad for waking him up. She then remembered the bodies of her dead parents and she decided not to feel bad. Yugi would understand he would have to.
"Well it started when the power went off at my house; I went to go see if Mokuba had gone to sleep. He wasn't and he was hiding underneath the covers I told him to stay in my room and that I'd be down in the basement fixing the fuse box. I went down and there was blood all over the walls, I walked further and you know what I saw?" She asked and Yugi shook his head no afraid of what it might be.
"I saw my mother and my father hanging from the ceiling blood everywhere; my mother had one of her legs cut off. It was horrible." Anzu said Yugi stared on in disbelief and in worry. If someone had done this to her parents then that means they might be after Anzu.
"I'm sorry Anzu you should stay at my house. It's not safe to go back there someone might come for you next. I know that I wouldn't be able to see you die." Yugi said, Anzu hugged him he blushed bright red. He patted her back and started to stroke her brown silky hair. He could hear her breathing even out and he knew she was asleep.
End Chapter Two
Well, I put this out pretty fast if I do say so myself. I feel bad for Anzu, but oh well. Reviews would be nice, but they aren't expected I just enjoy writing!
