********** Chapter 8 **********
The limo pulled up in front of the house; everyone, except for the driver piled out. They all went up the porch steps and Joey opened the door.
Once Joey and the others went inside, a cold freezing feeling came over Joey; he looked around and saw that the lights weren't on; Mrs. L always had the lights on at that time, he gave a small shudder.
"Are you okay Joey?" Yugi asked when he saw Joey shudder; he took off his shoes at the door like everyone had just done.
"Yeah, just a bit cold..." Joey said.
"What are you talking about; it's too warm in here to be cold..." Mokuba said.
Everyone continued to walk, until a loud screeching sound came out of nowhere. Everyone screamed, they had no idea what that was.
"Oh god..." Joey said, he bent down and picked up something. "It's Mrs. L's kitten..."
Everyone gave a sigh of relief.
"I must have stepped on its tail..." Seto murmured.
"Someone look for a switch, it's getting darker in here!!!" Mai hissed.
Tristan felt around for a switch; when he found one he flicked it on.
"Is that better?" Tristan asked.
"Much better..." Ryou said answering for everyone.
Everyone looked around the place, they checked the kitchen, the living room, the back yard; no sign of Mrs. Lovely.
"Maybe we should check upstairs..." Joey said. The kitten jumped out of Joey's arms and dashed upstairs.
"What's up with the cat?" Tristan asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" Joey mumbled as he ran up the stairs; everyone followed.
When Joey reached the top stair; he saw the kitten go into Mrs. L's room.
Slowly Joey walked towards it.
"Hello? Grandma, I'm home!!!" Joey called. "Are you in there?!"
Seto and Tristan were beside Joey and the others were right behind them.
Joey reached the door to Mrs. L's room; the lights weren't on, so everything was too dark to see.
"The only light Mrs. L has in here is her lamp and that's on her nightstand..." Joey said. He stepped into the room and went in search of her lamp.
As he was walking; he felt something wet come through his socks.
'What's that?' Joey thought. He nearly stumbled onto the bed, when he felt the nightstand he felt the lamp then flicked the light on.
Joey looked to where he felt the wetness on the floor, then his eyes widened and tears welled up in his eyes. Everyone at the door couldn't speak.
"M-Mrs. L..." Joey whispered as he dropped to his knees. "Oh no...please...you can't leave me..."
Joey began to bawl; Tristan rushed over to him and tried to get him away from the body, but Joey kicked him.
"NO!!! I can't leave her!!!" Joey screamed
"Joey, she's gone, we have to leave her!!!" Tristan yelled.
"NO!!! I won't!!! This is my fault!!!" Joey shrieked.
Seto put his cell phone back into his pocket and stormed into the room.
"Joey, we've got to get out of this room now, we have to leave this for the police!" Seto said.
"NO!!!" Joey screamed.
Seto picked up Joey against his own will.
"We have to go!!!" Seto snarled.
"Seto, calm down..." Mokuba said; he feared that his brother was going to change into vampire form.
Joey was trying to struggle out of Seto's grasp as Seto stormed out of the room with him in his arms.
When they got downstairs; police busted down the door and paramedics rushed in.
"Upstairs!!!" Seto yelled.
The police and paramedics stormed up the stairs.
Joey started to bawl in Seto arms.
"Please Seto, let me go!!!" He sobbed.
"No Joey, I'm not letting you go back up there..." Seto whispered.
Tristan went over to them and stroked Joey hair.
"Shhh, Joey everything will be alright..." Tristan whispered.
"Nothing will ever be okay..." Joey mumbled.
Everyone heard the kitten give a startled howl and come running down the stairs and jumped into Joey's arms.
"Can we keep him Seto?" Joey asked in a quiet voice.
"Yes, we can." Seto said
Everyone put their shoes back on and headed for the limo; each of them was dropped off home.

"I'm this much closer to getting Tristan and Joey." Ken said to himself.
He poured himself another glass of fine champagne. He was celebrating the victory he won over Lovely. But he had a bit to worry about; like his two main bodyguards.
'I need to strengthen that spell on them...' Ken thought as he sipped on the champagne.
Zeta and Drake were really angels, but they couldn't remember because of the spell Ken had cast over them. They weren't powerful; well, that's what Ken thought. Ken put a curse on them to make them look older than they really are; they looked like full-grown grownups, but really they are no older than the people he were after. The only way the curse can be broken is if they break the spell; only then will they change back into their true forms or remember something from their pasts.
**********
Seto and Tristan had taken Joey upstairs to a spare bedroom. Joey had fallen asleep during the car ride home. Tristan opened the room door and Seto stepped into the room and put Joey to rest. They both gave Joey a kiss on the forehead and let the kitten sleep beside him, and then they quietly walked out of the room.
They both went to go check on Mokuba. When they opened his room door, they saw him sound asleep in bed. They left him to sleep and headed downstairs to the living room where they both sat down on the couch.
"Poor Joey..." Seto whispered. "I never saw him like that..."
"Me neither..." Tristan whispered. "Who would do such a thing?"
"Seto, Tristan, are you two okay?" A voice rang in.
They both turned and saw a worried looking Jenkins.
"Not really..." Seto said.
"What's wrong?" Jenkins asked.
Both Seto and Tristan explained what had happened at Mrs. L's house.
"Oh my..." Jenkins said. "That's just awful..."
"Joey seemed to be really close to Mrs. L." Seto said. "I don't think he's going to be okay for awhile."
Tristan nodded in agreement.
**********
Mr. Moto had just heard the news about Mrs. L.
"My god, I hope Joey will be okay..." Grandpa said.
"We hope so too..." Yami said.
"I never saw Joey like that before..." Yugi whispered. "He was scared and angry before, but never like that..."
"He loved Mrs. L dearly Yugi..." Yami said. "She gave him shelter and love when he needed to stay away from his father."
"I know..." Yugi said. "But now that Mrs. L is gone, what will happen to him now? I know Seto will take care of him; but what about his feelings?"
"That's one thing that will take a long time to heal..." Yami said.

Duke was now watching T.V. after a long day of work in the new town. He opened his second shop and it was starting to become a success. He planned to go back to Domino in a few days. As he was thinking of what he could do the next day, the phone rang. He reached over for it.
"Hello, Duke Devilin here." Duke said.
"Hello Duke, it's me Tea..." The voice said.
"Hey Tea, how are you doing?" Duke asked.
"Not so good..." Tea said.
"Why, what's wrong?" Duke asked.
"One of Joey's friend's was found dead today, and the gang was the first one's to discover the body." Tea said.
Duke was quiet for a moment.
"Where did you find the body?" Duke asked.
Tea explained everything that happened; including Joey's and Tristan's abuse. (She didn't tell Duke about Seto and Tristan's relationship; everyone is still oblivious to Joey joining them.)
"Oh man, that's just awful..." Duke said. "I hope the police will find who ever did this to Mrs. L. Also I hope that the police will be able bust Joey's and Tristan's parents." Duke said.
"I hope so too, for their sake..." Tea said. Just then Tea's mother called her from downstairs for dinner. "Sorry Duke, but I've got to go."
"Okay, see you later..." Duke said. Then they both hung up.
Duke lay in bed for a few moments thinking of Joey and Tristan and how they could keep something like that a secret from the gang.
'I hope everything will be alright when I come back...' Duke thought before he drifted to sleep.
**********
Mr. Moto was just getting into bed; he was still thinking of the lockets and Joey's friend's death.
'I haven't seen Lovely in so many years; now, she's gone...' Mr. M thought.
He knew Mrs. L ever since college. He looked to her as if she was a sister, and she looked to him as if he was her brother. They kept contact after college and then Solomon found out that Lovely was going to get married, he was the best man at her wedding. A few years later, she gave birth to Harry, making him the godfather. After that Solomon got married, making Lovely the bridesmaid. A year, Solomon's wife gave birth to Yugi's mother, Silvia, making Lovely the godmother.
Over those years, everything was fine between all of them; sadly over those years, Solomon's wife died, and Lovely's husband died. Their children went to college and went their separate ways. Harry returned to his hometown, Silvia got married without anyone knowing and gave birth to Yugi. She came back to town years later, divorced, single mother, broke; Solomon took in his daughter and grandson. In a year, tragedy would strike again; Silvia had cancer and died in her sleep one night; leaving Solomon to raise Yugi from the age of five.
Shortly after that time, Harry died from the gang shooting. Solomon and Lovely lost contact. Yugi slowly began to forget about them as he grew; Solomon wondered if he should speak to Lovely, but never got the courage to do so. Now he laid in bed hating himself for never speaking to Lovely for all those years; now she was gone and he'll never get to say good bye to her.
"I miss you Lovely..." Solomon whispered.
"I missed you too..." A voice whispered.
