Title: Crimson

Disclaimer: I do now own Yugioh or Evanescence
Attention everyone: I have to finish this story before Mid-January,
so the next chapters will be as long as possible, many things will
happen in each chapter, except for this one since it was kind of
rushed. It's sort of an intro to the other chapters and the new turn
it took. I have to do so since next semester classes will be hectic,
very hectic.
Thanks to:
Chi Yagami: I have a question, when I emailed you did you
happen to receive some picture. Some other reviewer kept ranting
on how I kept emailing her with my picture. And I'm not crazy to
send a picture to someone that I don't know through the Internet.
Please respond to this…gomen if I did, although I have no clue
how…
Silver Moon Phoenix: Thanks, I actually got a few reviews so
I'm happy now…

Chapter 16: Haunting Dreams
The church was perfection. The drapes and white rose petals gave
it an air of innocence. The groom stood at the altar a nervous
wreck, seeing his true love approach him. She looked enchanting
in her white Victorian dress, as a delicate vale covered her
beautiful features.
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
An eerie song played in the background as she came to stand beside
him. He knew this was what he needed to make him whole again.
So many decades had passed and his heart had not mended. So
much hate and anger had replaced his once beating heart. Yet all
seemed so distant as he held unto her hand. The couple said their
vows as the sun slowly began to rise. Rays of sunshine sparkled
through the church's stain-glassed windows. The priest announced
their union, allowing the groom to finally gaze upon his beloved.
Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you loving you
I won't let you pull me down
But he stood in horror as she began to decay right in front of him.
She gave him a sad smile as her once white dress began to change
to the color of crimson. She gave him one last look before falling
upon the ground and turning to dust.
Hunting you I can smell you – alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me Watching me
Bakura awoke soaked in sweat. His dream had been vivid and the
pain still remained. He decided to check on Anzu. He need to
make sure that she was all right, he was still fearful for her life.
He couldn't believe that the once mighty vampire was afraid of
anything. But since he had met Anzu his heart had opened up and
all emotions had returned full force. The only thing that mattered
now was her welfare. He made his way to her room, feeling his
heart break over and over again as he remembered that horrible
nightmare. He arrived at her door and hesitated to open it, what
if…? No he had to think positive.
He knocked softly on the door, when no answer came he cautiously
opened it, there laying half on the bed half on the floor was Marik.
He looked so stressed and worried that Bakura almost felt complied
to leave him be, almost. He approached Marik and attempted to
drag him out of the room but was stopped as he heard a whimper.
That made Marik's head shoot right up. His eyes were bloodshot
from lack of sleep. His friend had used all of his remaining
strength to get him to let go of Anzu, long enough for him to check
her for damage. He stated that she'd be fine but Bakura didn't
believe him completely. She lay upon the bed as though she were
an angel. She still looked as fragile as she had before. He couldn't
register why she wouldn't wake up. Deep down he feared the worst
but for Marik's sake she had better get well.
She kept whimpering and soon there were simply hisses, they
observed her closely and noticed as changes began to occur. Her
once light, short hair was now long and dark; her once rosy lips
were full and red. She smirked as he saw how much more beautiful
she was becoming. As sudden moan of pain snapped him out of his
stupor as he saw her body moved as though to protect itself from
invading harm. 'Fangs' he thought, 'they're very painful at first'.
He remembered when he was first turned, the pain he suffered as
they began to grow, but soon they had been merely a discomfort,
later being a gift. He had savored so much blood over the decades
thanks to them. He ushered Marik out of the room with him to let
her final transition take place. But as they turned into the hallway
they heard a crash come from her room. They dashed into it but
saw that Anzu was nowhere to be found. Only glass littered the
window area as the moon shined into the room.
Misery: So like it? Tell me but remember no flames. I understand
if it was short but I have my last final tomorrow and wanted to
update at least a portion of the story, as it will follow. I do warn
that there will be character death in the next chapter. And itwill
be longer than 800, at least 2,000 words
(trying to break the 1800 record from chapter 10)
If you want to know who look at the past chapters and you'll see
someone who does deserve punishment, or at least Anzu thinks he
does…I want to thank you all again and Chi Yagami please
contact me asap… Forgive the grammar mistakes if there are
any...
