Ok, I finally got three reviews but couldn't get my lazy ass to type up the
chapter. Now, I finally got around to it after getting four reviews. Now,
here it is! Chapter 15!!
Chapter 15
The inside of the chamber was sparkling with gold, silver, and jewels of many different colors. In the center of it all lay a platform that held a sarcophagus of great beauty above the riches. Two vampires quickly ran over to it and began to remove the lid. Yami looked at Trish, expecting her to try and stop them, but she never made a move. She stood there, held between two vampires, and had her head bowed to where her eyes were shadowed. A smirk played her pale lips.
Tea walked slowly over to the platform as the lid was removed. "Finally, after 3,000 years of waiting, I can take my revenge." She looked into the sarcophagus only to find nothing. "Empty!? How can it be empty!?"
The sound of laughter brought all eyes towards Trish, who stood there laughing madly. "What's so funny, Trish?" Tea asked as she grabbed her by the collar, but something was wrong. Normally, Trish only stood chest high to Tea, but now she was eye level.
"I am not Trish, little Tea." Tea backed up a bit. The smallest sign of fear reflected in her eyes. Trish laughed again and looked at her with blood red eyes. It was indeed not Trish. "I am Trishita, the Dragon Clan queen."
"You! You're alive!?" Tea screamed.
"In a way, yes. Did you really think I would leave myself there to die by your hands? No, I died long ago. Now I exist only in this," Trishita said, holding up the stared crystal. "The Millenium Crystal."
"She's a yami!" Yugi yelled in shock.
"Kill her! Kill her now!" Tea cried. Her vampires lunged at Trishita but were thrown back. "What!?"
Between Trishita and the vampires stood another girl with long white hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore Cass's armband. "To get to her you'll have to get through us first."
"Who are you?" Tea sneered.
"I am Anisa. I am the queen's high priestess," the girl said. "I live now in the Millenium band." The armband on her upper left arm gleamed slightly.
"And I am Takara, the one who helped the queen." A tall girl with off-white hair came up beside Anisa. Her green eyes glared daggers at Tea. In her hand was the staff that Isis carried. "I exist now in the millenium staff."
"You! You kept her alive!" Tea yelled.
Takara smirked. "You got it."
"You will die with her then! Kill them!"
The vampires once again lunged at them. Anisa's eyes began to glow white and half the vampires suddenly turned to ash at her feet. Takara used her staff to knock the rest of them back. The vampires holding Yugi and the others dropped them and ran down the tunnel.
"Come back here you fools!" Tea yelled.
"Well, looks like your servants have abandoned you," Seto said as he stood back up," Seto said as he stood back up.
Tea glared at him and then at Trishita, who stood there smirking. "I'll kill you yet. Don't think that I'm through with you," Tea said before running down the hall. Anisa made to follow.
"Let her go." Anisa stopped and looked at Trishita. Trishita did not look back but made her way over to Shundrika. She kneeled next to the pale girl and examined her wound. Takara stood over her. Yugi held his breath, not sure if he wanted to know what would happen.
Trishita sighed sadly as she looked at her friend. Shundrika's heart had been torn open. Though a vampire's heart does not beat it is needed to survive. Shundrika was dying slowly.
"I am sorry, my friend. The damage is too great to heal," Trishita said.
Shundrika gave a weak laugh that turned into a harsh cough. Trishita bit her lip.
"There is . . . no need to be sorry. I fought to protect you as I have . . . always done in the past. You helped me . . . and I helped you, my friend," Shundrika said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Trishita nodded. "You fought bravely. You shall be remembered." Shundrika smiled slightly and nodded a bit before her eyes slowly closed. The others watched in horror as Shundrika's body turned to as. Trishita, Anisa, and Takara all bowed their heads.
Tears welled in Yugi's eyes. They had failed. They couldn't save her in time. How many more friends and allies were they to loose? How many more would they have to fight to keep them safe?
Trishita then stood. "We must leave. Tea will gather more followers and return. It would be best if we were not here." She then looked at Yami. Yami blinked a bit. He had seen her before. Long reddish-black hair and blood red eyes. He then realized it.
"That was you! The one in the dream!" Yami said. Trishita nodded slightly.
"Come, we must leave now. We will talk more later," Trishita said. There was then a bright light from the items. After it died down, Takara, Anisa, and Trishita were gone, leaving Trish, Isis, and Cass in their places.
"Let us go. We have no time to properly mourn the loss of our friend," Cass said. The others nodded. As quickly as they could, they headed back up the tunnel. Yami had so many questions in his mind that needed answers, and he knew the one person who could answer them. Trishita.
Once they were outside, they found Joey and the others with Tori and Shuranda.
"Hey, did you find Shundrika?" Joey asked.
Yami nodded slightly as regret came over him. "We found her, but . . . she's dead."
"What!?" Joey yelled
"What do you mean dead!?" Tristan yelled. "How!?"
"Tea killed her," Yugi said. His head was bowed and eyes shadowed, but his hands were curled into tight fists.
"Tea? She's alive? But I thought we got rid of her," Ryou said, his brown eyes lost in confusion.
"Guess not," Joey said. The group then fell into silence.
Ok, there's chapter 15. I have the most part of chapter 16 written down. I'll put it up after I get another 3 reviews. Sorry for all those who liked Shundrika!!
