Chapter 3
Nightmares and Evil
"Jenny!" spoke Alec's voice through the door a week later after the nightmare. Jenny groaned as she rolled under the covers, "Mom," she said in a sour voice. Alec opened the door, "Had another nightmare, last night didn't you?" she asked calmly. Jenny removed the covers from her head slowly, and nodded fear shown in her eyes. Alec walked over to her daughter, "Look you're going to have to get used to them," she said pulling the covers down to where she could see her youngest daughter's sweet angelic face.
Jenny sighed, "Dying takes a lot out of you in a nightmare," she said in a tired voice. Alec smiled and kissed her teenage daughter's forehead, "Take your time getting up, it's Saturday and you can sleep in, Matt said that he cancelled your teaching lesson today," she said.
Jenny smiled with her eyes closed, "Thanks I need the rest," she said rolling over. Alec stood up and walked to the door, "I will have Seto wake you in about two hours but no more then that," she said "Last thing I need is you sleeping all day." Jenny throw the covers over her head, and went back to sleep after doing a "yeah I know," nod of her head.
Jenny drifted in to sleep again, she felt as if torn between her repeating dream or the nightmare of before. Jenny stood in a dark dank room she looked around, "Jena, pull back," said a voice in her head. Jenny looked around, "Who said that?" she said. Jenny looked to see if anyone was there, "Come out where I can see you," she barked.
A figure stepped in the light that surrounded Jenny, it was the faceless man, and she could see his figure but his face in shadow still by his long bangs. "You need to pull out, this isn't safe anymore, you in danger," he said. Jenny looked around, "what are you talking about?" she asked.
The man moved over to the side, "Your nightmare is part of an evil plot, Jena you must wake up, your mind isn't safe anymore," he said. Jenny was worried, "Jena isn't my name," she said. The man moved into the light, Jenny could see his face it was Atem "I was when you were in Egypt over 5000 years ago," he said. "The nameless Pharaoh what are you doing in my mind?" she questioned, Jenny realized what she was asking, "Please tell me I haven't been making out with you," she said worried suddenly.
Atem laughed "No, you fell in love the Pharaoh of Egypt 4,900 years ago, 100 years after my and your father's time," he said to the worried Jenny. Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, "Good for a second there I thought I was making out with my Uncle Yugi," she said.
Atem laughed again, "I wish I could see him again, however now isn't the time for a pleasant chat. I am warning you, be careful not everyone can be trust anymore," he said. Jenny shook her head, "What do you mean?" she asked.
The darkness around them grew suddenly, "I am scared?" she said. Atem held Jenny close to him as if she were his own, "Jena, listen to me, you must fight the darkness of your mind, keep an eye out for anything unusual, and stay out of Egypt," he said.
Jenny then woke up; her eyes popped open to the feeling of something shaking her. Jenny moved the covers off her face, someone was shaking her feet, looking up from the bottom of her bed, "DAD!" she said in a whining tone.
Seto smirked at his daughter as she whined at him, "Well looks like someone needs to remember, which side of the bed you sleep on, got to remember you sleep at the foot of the bed with your head why do I forgot you sleep backwards," he said standing at the headboard. Jenny threw the blankets over head again while grumbling. Seto grabbed the blankets and pulled them off Jenny, "AHHH, DAD," she said feeling the lost of heat from the blankets. "Rise and shine," her father said throwing the blanket into a laundry basket.
Jenny rolled on her back, "You know I do sleep naked sometimes," she warned. Seto smiled, "I am you father, I know what you look like without clothes, I saw you born, didn't I?" he said.
Jenny rolled her eyes, "That was 15 years ago," she said in a grumpy tone and rolling her eyes. Seto threw the blankets back on Jenny after reaching for them, as she sat up, "Hey," said Jenny with a small laugh, "Not fair Dad." Seto walked over to the door, "Breakfast is ready," he said and walked out the door. Jenny rolled her eyes and flopped back on to the bed, "Why, me?" she whined.
(I just could not resist a father daughter moment especially it is funny to see Seto doing that at one time)
Alec was down stairs setting the table when Andy and Melissa walked in, "Morning Mom," greeted Andy. "Morning Alec," said Melissa taking a seat. Alec greeted them both, "Good morning, Andy!" she said with her hands on her hips as she stood on the other side of the room.
Andy looked up "What?" he said. Alec shook a spoon at him, "You know what, get in your car and get some clean clothes on, I am not about to feed you again," she said in a strict tone.
Seto stepped in the room, "Andy you know the rules, no free meals unless invited," he said crossing his arms. Andy sneered, "Fine, I would like to have had breakfast with the family but I can see that I am not wanted," he said in sarcastic voice moving towards the door. Jenny walked in, "Well trying to get another hand out big brother?" she said with a smirk on her face much like her father's own. Andy laughed, "Wait until your 18 then things will change, for you too," he said and walked out the door.
Jenny looked at her mother and father, "You know we don't see enough of him at the table, even if he is over 20," she said sitting down. Alec shook her head after facing her daughter, "Jenny when your brother pays rent to stay here, then I will make more eggs," she said.
Melissa looked at her Aunt, "Does those rules go for me too?" she asked with some food on her fork that she, was about to place in her mouth. Alec finished with setting the rest of the table, "No, Melissa you're my niece and your mother signs my retirement checks so you're off the hook," she smiled.
Seto laughed, "Speaking of checks I have to get to work, and sign a few, one with this little ones name on it," he said patting Jenny on the head, "I am not a pup..." "Puppy," he said quickly "I know," said Seto to Jenny with his hands up to stop Jenny's fist that would fly any moment, Seto quickly went over to Alec, "I will see you tonight?" he asked. Alec nodded, "After last time of course," she said smiling.
Jenny stuck out her tongue, "EWE, I don't want to know when you two are going to be in the same room at night," she said. Alec kissed Seto on the lips, and then looked at her daughter, "You know some day you're going to be hearing that from your own children," said Alec as she and Seto parted.
Jenny shook her head, "I don't plan to get married my life will be too busy too have a husband," she said. Seto raised an eyebrow, "Oh really guess what I said the same thing at your age and look at me," he said.
Jenny raised an eyebrow now, "What about you?" she said questionably. Seto shook his head, "Alec, when was the last time we grounded her?" he asked looking at his wife. Alec smirked, "Seto, get to work, you can deal with the Mini female version of your self later," she said pushing him towards the door. Seto smiled, "I get the point Alec, see you girls tonight," he said.
Melissa laughed, "Well that was interesting," she said. Jenny shook her head, "You have no idea how annoying that gets, around here, and you been here for only a week," she said putting her hand on her forehead.
Alec looked at her daughter and niece, "you know now that the boys are gone, how about we eat out this morning?" asked Alec. Jenny walked over to the bowl of fruit in the middle of the table, "How about I take a rain check Mom," she said taking a bite out of an apple and leaving the room. Alec sighed and shook her head, "You know that is the sixth time this week she said that," said Alec sitting down across from Melissa.
"I guess those nightmares are really, holding her down," said Melissa eating her food in front of her. Alec nodded, "Yeah I know, she seems like, she is going to have a melt down any minute now. Melissa, I am worried about her, it not like Jenny to keep stuff locked up, has she talked to you about any of this?" she said worried.
Melissa nodded, "Nope not since I told Andy that one night. It's not like her to keep things especially from you and Seto, not to mention Andy and Kate," she said. Alec nodded, "I guess she thinks that the only way to win is to do it alone, so much like her father," she sighed.
Melissa looked at the door, "I hope she gets those nightmares to go away soon," she said. Alec nodded, "You know, that gives me an idea. I used to have the same problem when I had Kisara in my head, maybe a tactic that I used will help her a bit," wondered Alec aloud. Melissa shook her head, "I don't think Jenny's problem is going to be drowned out with alcohol and grape juice," said Melissa. Alec looked at Melissa, "I take it you tired it on her?" she said. Melissa nodded, "Yes, two days ago, it only made her headache worse, and she yelled at me the next morning about how much it made the dream more how should, I put it, blurry and I am talking about the good part," she said.
Alec stood up, "Melissa, can you do me a favor, and take Jenny with you to KIC, I think she needs to speak to Sara," said Alec moving to grab peach from the fruit bowl. Melissa nodded, "Sure, Jenny would need some fresh air sometime today," she said.
Alec smiled, "Thanks, tell your Mom that I will make it up to her," she said. Melissa nodded, "Well do," Melissa got up and walked to the door, "I am going to be headed over their anyways for breakfast, so I will take Jenny with me," she said. Alec nodded, as her niece stepped out of the room, "She is going to need all the help she can get," Alec, said to herself.
"But Melissa, I don't want to go to KIC today," said Jenny as she was being pulled down stairs by her older cousin. "Jenny, come on, my Mom wants to talk to you about something," she said while pulling Jenny's arm.
"But…but," she said. "No buttocks, Jennifer," roared Alec's voice as she watches the two young women head down the stairs. Jenny looked at her mother from the stairs, "MOM!" she whined.
Alec pointed to the front door, "You're going to talk with your aunt, now quit fighting your cousin," she said. Jenny rolled her eyes, "Fine just let me put something else on," she said and ran up stairs to change.
Jenny returned with wearing a black leather skirt and purple shirt with a leather vest, and knee high boot, her hair was in little rubber bands in the front, making it as if she had five pigtails from her bangs on her head. "Ok ready," she said.
Alec looked up from her book that she was reading in a near by chair by the stairs, "Jenny Kaiba!" she said, in an angry tone. Jenny looked at her mother, "WHAT?" she said wondering what her mother was going to say next.
Alec got up from her chair, and walked over to Jenny, "You missed a spot," she said moving a few rubber bands to make Jenny's purple hair to appear more even, "There better," said Alec. Jenny looked at her mother puzzled, "That's a first," she said looking at her purple hair. Alec smiled, "Well if you can't beat them, join them," she sighed.
Jenny nodded and walked to the front door, "Bye Mom," she said and joined Melissa out in the car. Alec stood on the stairs, "They grow up so fast don't they," she said to her self. "Yes they do," a male, voice answered.
Alec looked up at the hall at the end of the stairs, "How long have you been here?" she asked the figure that stood in the doorway. "Long enough, to see you're fulfilling our plans," said the figure. Alec turned, "I am only doing this for you to keep my daughter safe, so back off on the nightmares will you, I don't care what you and Saran are going to do now a days just stop hurting Jenny," she ordered.
The figure stepped out, "Oh, scared you daughter can't handle a little dream?" asked the man who stepped out of the hall. Alec turned her gaze towards the front door, "You were controlling my son, I wasn't about to let you do the same to my daughter," snapped Alec.
The man laughed, "That isn't all we control of your whole family," he said, "We have your niece too, and when they all go to Egypt they will meet their end," he said.
Alec shivered, "I am won't have them go," she said "I am not your puppet anymore Malachite." The man laughed, "Oh, you will have them go to Egypt or you will lose that little shrimp of a brother of yours," said Malachite. Alec looked up, "You said you won't hurt anyone in my family, after I let you get into my daughter's head," she said.
The man laughed, "You forget about which brother, I am referring too," he said. Alec closed her eyes, "Don't you hurt Odeon," she barked. The man moved his hand and placed it on Alec's shoulder, "You don't have to worry about that one, but Mokuba is the one you should worry about," he said. Alec felt the cold chill, from the hand on her shoulder, as if death was touching her. "Mokuba," she said in quiet voice at the same time puzzled.
The man stepped in front of Alec, "Mokuba, the little brother in law that will soon be expecting his first born," Malachite smiled devilishly. Alec opened her eyes, "Yamu, your going to do something to, Yamu, if I don't agree," she said.
The man nodded, "Mokuba hasn't told anyone but Yamu is pregnant and this time she is going to have a child, but it may die before it can be born, if you fight us," he said. Alec shook her head, "I wish you would leave my family and friends alone," she barked.
The man laughed, "I have too much fun with you Alec, and I know you and Saran are having a ball controlling Melissa," he said and gently kissed her on the lips, Alec closed her eyes as if enjoying it the taste of the kiss.
The man moved away from her, "You know what to do, Alec or should I say Saran and Kisara," he said. Alec opened her eyes they were black as caves, "Yes, my love," she said to the man as if she were a zombie. The man smirked, "Good, girl," he said, "now be a good little mind slave and get them all to Egypt," he said with a smirk.
(Oh I am so evil don't worry I will explain it all later)
Meanwhile at KIC (Kaiba Industrial Corporation) in Sara's office, "Good morning Jenny and Melissa, my daughter, how have you been?" she asked sounding like some one was in the room other then them. "Mom, are you ok?" asked Melissa. Sara laughed, "Never better," she said quickly.
Jenny looked at her Aunt, "Right," she said in a slow voice yet sarcastic, "and I am the world champion of Duel monsters." Sara fake smile melted, "Ok, you caught me," she said putting pencil in the sharpener, causing a lot of noise. Jenny and Melissa looked at each other, Sara's eyes were watching something moving in the room, "Just stay there for a minute," said Sara pulling out the pencil, and throwing it a one of the book cases in the office.
"Got you finally, now, Jonathan," she yelled, "COME, IN HERE," said Sara in a happy voice. A loud whine can from behind the door, Jenny and Melissa looked in the direction of the door.
"Mom, that was a prototype, you just broke," said little boy entering the room. "Jonathan, how many time must I tell you not bug my office," Sara asked. Jenny smiled, "Hi Jonathan long time, no see, my little step cousin," she said.
Jonathan turned his red eyes tan skin and green hair towards Jenny, "Hey freak," he said with a smirk on his face. Melissa flicked the boy on the shoulder, "Don't talk to your cousin like that," she said in an angry tone. The boy rubbing his arm that Melissa flicked "So, what Sis, you think you run the world now that, you're back from Egypt," he snapped. Melissa nodded, "YES!" she snapped back at him.
"Jonathan," said Sara. He turned to face the tan and black haired woman sitting at the desk, "Yes Mother," said Jonathan. "Don't talk to your sister like that, now back to your office and keep your prototypes out of mine," ordered Sara leaning back in her leather office chair.
Jonathan nodded, "Yes mother," he said and left the room. He picked up what was left of his little bug camera that Sara had stabbed with a pencil and left the room. Sara sighed and rolled her eyes, "Why did I adopt him, oh Ra I miss, Odeon why did I want two kids," she whispered to the ceiling.
Melissa crossed her arms, "And which one of us would you want," she said hearing her mother's comment. Sara sat up, "The one that causes me the least trouble and your brother is the most right now," she said. Melissa smirked, "I think he heard that," said Jenny to her cousin.
A loud thud was heard against the wall, Sara shook her head, "Why me?" she said and looked at the door, "Jonathan Ishtar get your butt in here right now!" she yelled. Jonathan walked back in, "Yes mother," said the boy with a large grin on his face.
Sara shook her head, "You debug my office or you're not going to get to see your Aunt and Uncle in Egypt next week, when we go to the tournament," barked Sara. Jonathan's eyes widen and moved to the bookcase and pulled out one of the books, "ok Mom you win," he said pulling out a technology book, and talking out a page that appeared to have been added to the cover.
Jenny raised and eyebrow as the boy left the room with his head hanging down, "You know Aunt Sara that was a little harsh," she said. Sara leaned back in her chair, "I know but it seems the only way I can get through to that boy," she said. Jenny sighed, "So, been stressed lately?" she asked. Sara laughed, "With all this tournament stuff coming at me, I can't even think straight," she said.
Jenny looked at her Aunt's desk there was not a clean piece of paper on it. "I just don't have any idea of where to hold the tournament we held the last one in Domino but I don't want to hold two battle city tournaments in the same year and we been to Egypt in that same spot for 10 years so I need to find a better dueling zone." Melissa smiled, "Well you could hold it in Egypt on the new site I just finished," she suggested.
Sara sat up in her chair, "No way," Melissa looked at her mother, "Why not it is the prefect place to hold the tournament, not to mention I have a team down there that can secure a large area of sites to have the region turn in to a large duel battle field. We could hold large amounts a people instead of this team to the finals, which makes absolutely no sense," explained Melissa. Jenny looked at her aunt and cousin, the warning that she had from Atem was ringing in her head loud and clear, of not to go to Egypt.
Jenny placed her hand on her head to rub out the headache she was now having, Melissa saw this action, right away "Jenny?" she said worried seeing her cousin's face cringe. Jenny looked up, "I am fine just my head hurts again, dam nightmares," she said. Sara looked at her niece, "what nightmares?" she said worried about her youngest niece.
Melissa looked up, "The nightmares she been having about her dying in some ancient war," she said. "Not to mention of me killing a little girl," interjected Jenny. Sara looked at her niece, "Where do these nightmares take place?" she asked.
Melissa looked at her mother, "In ancient Egypt," she said. Sara nodded, "Then going to Egypt is out of the question for Jenny. Kate will not go to any tournament without Jenny or Andrew present, Andrew he said he wouldn't go to Egypt again, considering what happened last time, with the whole evil side bit," she said.
Melissa shook her head, "Let me handle Andrew," she said. Jenny robbed her head, "I think I better go get some air, my head is throbbing, be right back," she said getting up and leaving the room.
"Melissa, do you really think you can talk Andrew in to go back to Egypt," Sara said once Jenny left the room. Melissa turned, "I will make Andrew go back to Egypt," she said in an evil tone. Sara moved in her chair, "So, you taken my daughter have you Saran," she said seeing that Melissa's tender hazel eyes had turned black and cold.
Saran laughed, "So you can see me," she said through Melissa. Sara leaned back in her chair, "I thought you were gone for good after Kist's son banished you, and that whole thing with Noah and Jessie, why are you doing this to Jenny?" she barked.
Saran laughed, "For once Sara, I am not doing anything to Jenny but, making her and everyone else go to Egypt," she said. Sara shook her head, "So why is that?" she snapped. "My old friend, don't you understand I am not as evil as you see me," she said.
Sara crossed her arms, "I beg to differ not to mention you betrayed me, twice, I might add, you almost killed my step sister, not to mention my brother in law," she said.
Saran laughed, "That was before Johnny's little exorcism from Kist's future form," she said. Sara was not buying this, "Saran you are always evil what is your plan with Jenny anyway?" she sneered. Saran smiled, "To help her actually," she said "To help her fill the heart of a lonely prince that just lost his love," she said.
Sara raised an eyebrow, "You mean kill her," she snapped. Saran laughed, "Actually no, for once, I am actually trying to fill a small void in her heart, and that is the truth," she said. Sara looked at Saran, "What are you getting at?" Saran rolled Melissa's eyes, "Here look at this," she said pulling out a piece of scroll with hieroglyphs.
"You can't be serious, she won't buy it," said Sara looking at the hieroglyphs. Saran laughed, "Oh she would, that thing is real and unless Jenny goes to Egypt, this will never happen."
Sara shook her head, "Then why are you using my daughter to lure her there, why not me?" she asked. Saran laughed, "Atem and Yugi did a fine job of keeping me out, not to mention the little thing you did over 5000 years ago with locking me in the shield has, well, stopped me from taking you over. Also Jenny trusts Melissa more then her own brother and sister," she said.
The doorknob to the office turned, Saran looked at Sara, "You tell her and your daughter will die," she said quickly and Melissa's eyes returned to their hazel state as if unfazed by the change as if Saran and her had been communicating. "Mom," she said, "just help, me get Jenny to Egypt?" she pleaded quietly.
Sara nodded, "Just because I want you to be safe then fine I will," she said quickly and quietly. Jenny entered the office, and sat down in her chair. "I am feeling better now," she said taking her seat.
"So where did you go?" asked Sara, Jenny smiled and pointed, "On the roof, it been a long time, since I was up there, figured it would be the best place to get some really fresh air," she answered.
Melissa sat down, "So thought of anything about getting rid of those nightmares?" asked Sara. Jenny shook her head, "Nope," she said slapping her knee. Sara looked down at the scroll in front of her, "Jenny, do you believe in Egyptian legends?" asked Sara. Jenny shook her head, "Some time depends on the legend it self?" she said. Melissa looked at Sara, "Mom, what are you planning?" she asked.
Sara looked with her eyes at Melissa them moved them down to the scroll. For a moment, Sara saw Saran was afraid, and mouth "no." Jenny looked at both of them, "Ok some one fill me in?" she asked.
Sara moved her arms and leaned back in her chair, "This scroll just came in to my possession, scroll Melissa had found, that you should look at," she said. Saran for a moment shown through Melissa, "SARA!" she snapped quickly catching herself, "Mom!"
Jenny looked over at her cousin, "Your not Melissa, are you?" she said in an angry tone glaring with her too amethyst mixed blue eyes. Sara smirked; this was part of her plan to show Jenny that Saran was in fact Melissa now.
Saran took over Melissa's voice, "No, in fact I used to be your Aunt's and mother greatest enemy," she said. Jenny nodded, "Your Saran, you took over Kist's future form, and almost killed my mother while she was pregnant with me," she snapped. Saran nodded Melissa's head.
"So why didn't you just show me this scroll the moment you got to the mansion?" asked Jenny while she was examining it closely seeing that there was a picture of her self on it with what looked like a Pharaoh. Saran went a little nervous, "Melissa and I didn't think you would believe it," she said. Jenny shook her head, "With the nightmare and the man in this picture that looks familiar, it all makes them seem like they fit," she said with a calm tone, knowing that she was not going to get out of this fight easily.
Jenny's mind began to drift off; she saw the light blue sky, the light clouds, and a man on a balcony looking over the city below. "Prince…" she spoke, the man turned, "Pharaoh," she corrected herself. The man smiled, "You can call me by my name now, even as Pharaoh, I am still your friend, Jennifer," he said looking at the city. Jenny stepped into the light of the sun; her head had bandages and her ribs too. "I was wondering, about something?" she spoke.
The Pharaoh turned; he appeared to be about her age, he looked strong and tall, his long blonde hair looked golden in the sunlight. Jenny quickly shifted her eyes down for it was not customary to look up at the face of the Pharaoh with out causing disrespect.
The Pharaoh walked over to Jenny, he put his hand under her chin, "Look up, Jenna," he said in a calm tone. Jenny slowly lifted her eyes and head with his warm soft hand, she saw his mouth then his thin and small nose, but his eyes was what lore her in the most, those soft aqua eyes.
They showed the hurt, loss, hate, and despair that he longed to be rid of forever. "Umm," she said losing thought of her question now being lost in the moment.
Jenny opened her eyes and saw her Aunt and cousin looking up at her funny. "JENNY! WAKE UP NOW!" shouted Melissa in a worried voice, now that she was back to her self. Jenny opened her eyes, "Ouch!" she said moving her palm to her forehead again.
"I am a wake stop yelling already!" Jenny said in a grumpy tone. Melissa looked at her mother, Sara, "She's ok," she said letting go of her worried voice. Jenny sat up she found she was on the floor of Sara's office and no longer in an Egyptian palace. "What happened?" she asked.
Sara let out a sigh of relief, "You don't remember?" she asked. Jenny shook her head, "The last thing I remember was I was looking at the scroll," she answered. Melissa looked at Sara, "She had a flash of what is to come," she said. Jenny sat up, "Oh no, I am not going to be miss fortune teller again. I thought we corrected that in Egypt 3 years ago?" she asked. Melissa shook her head, "I said it would hider your powers not make them go away forever," she said.
Jenny shook her head, "No I am not going through this again, I just got my life back the way I want it, …" she stopped letting out a giving in sigh, "When do we leave for Egypt?" she asked in a giving in tone. Jenny knew that like her mother her fate was sealed to go back to Egypt as she did years ago. Saran made Melissa smirk, "As soon as we can get your brother and everyone else to sign on, for this trip your going to need their help," she smiled.
