Chap5 Speaking the truth
Seto fell to his knees at the sight of the burning hospital. He screamed out in horror and anger.
" Kaiba," Yugi calmed, " it will be okay there are firefighters here. They will get everyone out in time."
" No they wont," Kaiba, sighed, " I am going in there."
" Are you crazy?" Tristan asked, " You will fry."
" Mokuba is in there!" he shouted.
Kaiba ran for the hospital sneaking under the caution tape. He opened the fire hot front doors of the hospital. Inside he could here coughing doctors and nurses. He headed past the waiting room and entered a long hall. Seto couldn't see anything because of the thick smoke that was surrounding him. Coughing violently he fell to the floor feeling the smoke penetrating his lungs. Fighting the urge to give up Kaiba sprung to his feet and ran down the long hot hallway.
He heard screaming coming from other rooms, but he kept his mind on Mokuba. Getting to his room he kicked the door down with his foot. Fire was everywhere in the room consuming objects and turning things to nothing but ash. He searched the room for Mokuba but found him nowhere. He began to panic looking for Mokuba under every bed. He saw a closet, and went to open it. There Mokuba was holding onto a little girl protectively.
" Mokuba," Kaiba coughed, " Mokuba!"
Mokuba sat up in the closet but was still holding the little girl.
" Big brother?" he called out.
Seto dragged Mokuba and the girl from the closet. He took Mokuba and the girl in his arms walking toward the door. He was about to turn the hot knob, but he couldn't because the door was consumed in flames. Standing in front of the door was Lily and Michael Sumpter. They looked at Kaiba and Mokuba with emotionless looks on their faces.
" Stop doing this please," Kaiba pleaded, " We will tell them the truth just stop doing this. You are taking innocent lives."
Michael pointed at a wall. Seto followed the ghost boy's finger. Burned into the wall was a message:
Everyone must die.
" No!" Kaiba cried, " I wont let you."
" Big brother what is going on?" Mokuba stuttered.
Seto didn't answer his little brother he just took Mokuba and the little girl and ran toward the only place they could go to escape, the window. Kaiba tried to open the window but it was locked. He then thought of a very dangerous idea. He held Mokuba and the little girl tight then he ran through the window as glass shattered around them. They began to fall from the sky with great speed. Kaiba held Mokuba and the little girl tighter to him as the wind blew into his face.
On the ground
" Hey look up there!" Joey shouted, " It is Kaiba and Mokuba."
" No way!" Tristan yelled.
" He is crazy," Duke shook his head.
There were reporters stationed around the burning building trying to get a story. One of the reporters from News Action5 came up to Joey trying to get more information from him about the people falling from the sky.
" Well," Joey began, " it's Kaiba and his brother Mokuba."
" Kaiba CEO of Kaiba corp.?" she asked.
" Yes," Joey nodded.
" He must be pretty brave, " the lady said.
" I guess," Joey answered.
Back to Kaiba
Seto looked at the ground below as he descended through the sky. The little girl who was quiet the whole time began to scream. Kaiba hoped that people would notice them and have a blanket or something to catch them in. When Seto didn't see a rescue team at the bottom he closed his eyes waiting for the worst to come. Suddenly he hit plastic type material. He could hear cheers around him. Opening up his eyes he saw firefighters surrounding him.
" My baby," a woman yelled grabbing the little girl, " thank you."
" You're welcome," Kaiba coughed.
" Kaiba, you okay?" Yugi asked.
" I am fine," he sighed.
" How about you Mokuba?" Joey asked.
" I'm okay," he responded.
" Why does Mokuba have a bandage around his eyes?" Tea asked.
" His eyes are burned," Kaiba frowned, " he can't see anymore."
" Really?" Duke questioned, " But how?"
" Lily and Michael," he grunted.
The reporter from before ran up to Kaiba sticking a microphone in front of his face.
" Mr. Kaiba please tell us what was going through your head while you were falling from the sky," she smiled.
" I was thinking about how people like to keep secrets," he stated.
"What?" she raised an eyebrow.
" There is a very important thing everyone needs to know about," he announced snatching the microphone from the reporter, " January 30th 1856 Lily and Michael Sumpter, sister and brother, were burned to death in there very own home because Lily was accused of being a witch. Michael died because he happened to be there because he had to baby sit his little sister, Lily, while the parents were at a town meeting."
" Give me back my microphone," she yelled.
" No," he continued, " It surprises me that this whole city doesn't know about it."
" Yeah," Marik shouted.
" All you people please listen," he pleaded, " Their story must be heard."
" That is enough Mr. Kaiba," the reporter laughed, " now let's interview the other survivors of the fire."
The reporter took the microphone from Kaiba transporting herself to another location.
" You tried," Ryou, grinned, " they shouldn't haunt you anymore. I mean everyone knows."
" The worst thing that could result in your announcement is they might think you are crazy," Bakura explained.
Seto picked Mokuba up and made his way through the crowded street. He went to a near by pay phone and called his limo driver. An hour went by and his chauffeur never showed up.
" Where is he?" he grumbled.
" Big brother," Mokuba smiled, " thanks for saving me."
" You're welcome Mokuba," he grinned.
" Sorry I have to kill you,"
" What!" Kaiba hollered.
Mokuba jumped out of Seto's arms landing on his feet. His bandages that were supposed to cover his burned eyes were taken off.
" Mokuba what's going on?" Joey asked looking from Mokuba to Kaiba.
Suddenly the clothes Mokuba was wearing changed into corduroy overalls. Next Mokuba's faced changed into a sad face owned by someone who wasn't alive anymore.
" Michael," Kaiba cringed, " where is my brother?"
Michael Sumpter pointed toward the burning building.
" No, I saved him," Seto mumbled, " How can it be?"
" You thought you saved him," a voice said from behind Kaiba.
Whirling around Kaiba saw Lily standing behind him.
" This is becoming freaky," Malik shivered.
" I told them," Kaiba shrieked, " I told all of them, so leave me alone."
" Someone must pay," Michael said.
" They all must feel our pain," Lily added.
" We can help you," Yugi promised, " Just leave the Kaiba brothers and everyone else alone."
" No!" Lily screamed, " They must pay. They all must pay."
And after those final words Lily and Michael disappeared.
" There is nothing we can do to stop them," Bakura frowned.
" This is like the ring or something," Mai cringed, " In the movie they couldn't stop the little girl from killing anymore people."
" True except one thing," Kaiba frowned looking a the burning hospital, " this isn't a movie. This is real life, and someone can really get hurt."
" Well, we promise to help you fix this," Marik smirked.
" We will try our best," Malik nodded.
A black car pulled up beside them. The window rolled down showing a lady who looked to be about twenty.
" Are one of you Seto Kaiba?" she asked.
" That's me," he replied.
" Hi I'm Linda Sumpter," she smiled, " I think I may be able to help you."
Linda Sumpter. Well let's hope she can help them. Oh and what about Mokuba? Read and review.
Until next chapter
