"Deadly Deception- Chapter 4"- By Cherise Wheeler
Last time: As soon as I heard Grandpa say those words, I raced up the stairs, hoping that the awful feeling in my chest and stomach was just the food I ate earlier. I got to the top of the stairs, opened the door and gasped at what I saw...
(Setting: Yugi and Yami's Room, Game Shop)
Yugi's POV
"OH MY GOSH!! GRANDPA!!!! Come quick!!!" I said in the most frightened tone imaginable. [Oh my goodness, there's so much blood...so much blood...Why? WHY? Why did he do this?]
There, in the center of the room, is Yami sitting in a chair, covered in his own blood. I use all of my will-power to prevent throwing-up or freezing to the spot. [He looks dead! No! He cannot die! I won't lose him!]
I snap out of my thoughts and quickly rush to the bathroom to grab as many bath towels as I can hold, and then immediately rush back into our room. When I return, I see Grandpa, and he looks like he going to be sick, but he also looks very worried for my dark.
He immediately presses the towels to Yami's arms, hoping to stop the steady flow of blood coursing from his arms and wrists, but it just seeps through the towels. He's now as panicked as I am.
"Yugi! Apply pressure to his wounds! I'm going to go call an ambulance!" said Grandpa.
[I'm trying with all my might not to break down...He did this because of what that other me said to him! He tried to kill himself because of what he thinks I said! Oh gawd! Hold on Yami!]
I look up from my thoughts and I see how pale Yami is getting, his normally tanned skin, now pallid and almost ghost-like. His lips, normally full and red, are now taking on a blueish color. [The ambulance better get here soon, or he could...no, he has to make it! I cannot lose him!]
"Yugi! The paramedics are here!! They're coming up!" I hear Grandpa say this before 2 large men come into our room scanning for Yami, my love.
"Son, you're going to need to step away. We're going to need our space if we are going to help him ok?" "Now, tell us, what happened? Do you have any idea why he would do this? Was your brother depressed?" said the paramedic, but I only heard bits and pieces, too caught up in my own thoughts.
"Come on kid, work with us here!" said the other who was working on Yami.
"Oh sorry, ummm...I don't know why Yami did this. He seemed perfectly fine earlier." [Hmph! What a lie, but they would never understand the truth. "Gee, Yami was hurt by someone that looked like me, but wasn't me. I was trapped in a cave somewhere and forced to watch!" Ya, right! Like they'd believe that!]
"Ok, and long do you think he was here like this?" one asked.
"He got home about two hours ago looking very upset. So, somewhere in-between then and now, I suppose," said Grandpa.
"Oh man, his pulse is way too weak! We have to get him to the hospital now! Or we are going to lose him!" said the one working on him, but what he said next made my heart break in two...
"Shit, we have no pulse! We'll have to work on him in the van. Let's go man!" he said, while loading Yami onto a gurney and taking him off...
"Sorry, but we'll need our space to work in the van, you'll have to follow by your own vehicle. We'll be taking him to Domino Medical." He said to Grandpa and I, and afterwards shouted to his companion, "Let's get him out of here, and fast! Or we could lose him!" and that was the last I saw of the two paramedics before they rushed off to the hospital...
"Come on Yugi! Let's follow them! We can call everyone when we arrive there!" Grandpa said while pulling me down to the car.
(Setting: Domino Medical)
The next parts occurred in a blur for me, because the next thing I knew, we were at the hospital and Grandpa was shouting at me to come with him.
We entered the lobby shortly afterward, and quickly asked the receptionist where Yami was being treated.
"Emergency-Intensive care (I don't know if this exists, work with me:)), Room 24c, 2nd Floor" said the receptionist. We thanked her kindly and raced to the elevator. Once we were in the Emergency-Intensive care waiting room, Grandpa rushed off to find a phone so he could call everyone with the news...
Grandpa called everyone, at least from what I heard. [I could hear their reactions from my seat in one of the lobby chairs. The reaction was the same: disbelief, horror, gasps, tears, sadness, and the, "be right there" line. I was glad to know that they still cared, but wait won't they think I'm the other one? What am I going to do? I hope they believe me! Gosh, they have to! They must know I would never treat Yami or any of them that way!]
And so I lie in wait and pray...hoping for the best and dreading the worst...only time could tell now...
}{ Ahhh! Another evil chapter, compete with an evil cliffie that I know you'll all love;) Will Yami be ok? How will Yugi's friends react? The only way you find out, is through me receiving wonderful reviews:) So for now, ta-ta!
