Chapter 3: Bakura's House of the Wicked

When Shannara awoke the only thing she could think about was finding him. She remembered the piece of paper that she had written down the information on about where he lived from Bonnie's note. Running to her purse she quickly popped it open and took the paper from it. Her hands shaking, she hastily got her things together and drove off with a screech. "Lets end this.", she whispered to herself.

When the innocent Bakura awoke from his bed he filled with nausea. His bed was covered with blood! "What did you do!", he shouted to a ghostly figure next to him. The figure grinned and licked his lips. "Nothing you can't handle by now.", he answered, "We have to get ready now. She'll be coming anytime now." "Whose coming...?", The young Bakura stated nervously.

Shannara slammed on the brakes and burst open Bakura's front door. She paused and looked around. It was dark. I laugh could be heard. She tried to follow it. It seemed to becoming from every direction! She swung around suddenly to see a dead, turn up, body nailed onto the wall next to her. She gasped and jumped back, to afraid to scream. From behind her came a hand, moving swiftly to cover her mouth and with the other hand, hold her arms tightly behind her back. "Do you like games?", a voice whispered into her ear. "Bakura!", she thought. He started to mouth her ear and neck. A bright light glowed from his ring dangling from his neck.

When Shannara awoke she found herself floating in the air! All around her was dark and shadowy. In her hand she held a sword and she was wearing a strange worrier like outfit. "Very exposing too", she thought. Somehow in her mind she new who she was. "Amazoness Paladin", she said under her breath. (to see what she looks like, try going to Ounce at this site type in Amazoness Paladin in the search bar of the web site. to find out more details of other yu-gi-oh duel monsters, do the same.) Around her slowly seemed to form a graveyard. As she stepped forward a monster emerged form a tomb that read "13". It was The 13th grave! In its hand it swung a huge copper sword. Dodging it she swung around and sliced him right through the middle. A Skull Servant than emerged. Feeling proud of herself for so easily slaying the other she quickly destroyed him. She smiled. She was starting to get amused by this strange game. As she trotted forward swinging her sword to and fro the ground begun to shack! Tons of Skull Servants arose! As she was trying to slay them they all began to scrap, scratch, bite, and pull her to the ground. She became fearful and filled with doubt. What would she do?! Looking out beyond the mob of the servants she saw a Mammoth Graveyard run towards her. As it went over her she stuck her sword into one of its tusks before it crashed her. It swung around frantically, crushing the skeletons below. She held on tightly wondering what to do next. A card glowed and lowered it self down to her. It read, "Trial of Hell". It was stronger then this beast! She summoned it and large dagger fell from the sky and the mammoth broke into many pieces all around. Getting to her feet again she now noticed four other cards that where conveniently placed in a sack hanging from her side. She pulled them out to view. They read: Silver Fang, Monster Egg, Petit Dragon, Mystical Sheep #2, and Skull Red Bird. Something glowed in the distance. It looked like a blue globe floating in the smog. She headed towards it. It led her into a dungeon filled with rotting corps and yet she still felt to follow it. Still seeming to be hypnotized by its raze, the metal bared door swung shut. Emerging from the light into the darkness of the damp place, came a Dark King of the Abyss. He crackled and said, "Like to see you find your way out of this!". And than vanished into the shadows. Her heart began to pound and she looked around. One of the bodies rose up and began to come to her. It was a Grave Protector. Looking at the cards in her hand, she tried to summon one. Nothing happened. They all turned to dust. It reached out and grasped her throat. She closed her eyes, deciding to give up. She heard that familiar laugh. She looked and saw Bakura standing behind the creature. He's millennium ring glowed and the creature burst into flames. As the creature began to melt to the ground she raced over to Bakura and wrapped her arms around him. He smiled and than they were back at his house. She looked up at him looking down at her. His arms where tightly wrapped around her. She felt a wave of disgust. She was thinking of all he had done to her. She pulled away and ran down the hall. She ran out the door and zipped off in her car. As she drove she thought about the blimp. She looked at her arm. There was a hand print he left on her in this so called "dream". She gazed at it and instead of turning on the road to her house she swerved over to the road that lead to the blimp. Why did she want to go there of all places?!
