Chapter 10

The End?

Sam

I hope...I placed my hands in my coat pockets as I walked away from the game shop. I walked toward the park quietly. Whom does Yami like? I hope it isn't that Gardner. She's nice but...she's scary when she's jealous. I'm so glad that Yugi and Yami still care about me and are willing to be my friends even though I'm in constant trouble. I really appreciate it that they care.

When I finally reached the park I sat down on a bench and waited for those guys. It seemed to be an hour when I got up to leave.

"Leaving so soon kid?" said a familiar voice. I can't believe it! It's them! I began to run off thru the trees. I missed dodging a branch which tore my coat. It missed my skin by a little. I could hear footsteps behind me. I finally found a way out of the park and ran around for a couple of blocks. I still kept hearing footsteps so I couldn't run to the game shop yet.

I ran thru the park again, in the area where the trees were. I got my coat ripped for a second time and this time I felt the branch bite into my skin, causing it to bleed. I placed my other hand on it, applying pressure to it to stop the bleeding. I ran out of the park and headed the opposite way from the game shop.

Please someone...anyone. I don't want to get caught. Not when I've finally found people aside from family. I hope Yugi or Yami can sense me or something.

I kept running, so far they were still behind me. I hope I can lose track of them soon and head back to the game shop. I can't go home either...there's no place for me to go.

I've been running for about half an hour when I noticed that I was slowing down. I began to feel dizzy. I can't stop now. They're to close. I have to keep going. I tried to speed up and succeeded.

I stopped in an intersection to catch my breath and to mend my wound when I heard footsteps close by. I ran off in another direction but was blocked by two thugs. I ran of another way and was blocked again. I tried one last time in another route but I was surrounded. It's no use...I'm caught. Please someone help me.

Yami

"Sh...silence Aibou. I need to concentrate," I said.

"Sorry. What are you trying to do anyway?" Yugi asked.

"I' trying to find Sam using my shadow powers. I need to concentrate to do so," I said. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I could sense Sam in this pitch black darkness I found myself in even though I couldn't see her. Finally I saw a group of people in the middle of the street surrounding someone. I got closer to the crowd and saw two guys holding someone down. From what I could see it was a girl. They pulled her up, her arms being held behind her. She seemed to fight them but they wouldn't let her go. She looked up slowly and found myself looking at familiar looking eyes.

Sam

They held my arms behind me. I looked up and noticed familiar looking crimson eyes. Yami! Or at least...I think it is. He seemed invisible or ghostly as if he could disappear out of the blue. Could the others see him or just me? His eyes were full of worry. They pulled me away from Yami's gaze. I wonder if he's going to come for me at all.

Yami

I opened my eyes and found myself in the living room.

"Did you see her?" Yugi asked.

"Yes...she's in trouble. We need to find her," I said while getting my jacket.

"Grandpa we're going to look for Sam," Yugi called out as he opened the door.

"Hope you find her soon!" yelled Solomon as we walked outside.

"Where should we look first?" Yugi asked.

"The park. We might find something there," I said while heading toward it.

Sam

They were dragging me somewhere. I wish I knew where. I was struggling for my freedom but I haven't had much luck. At least I wasn't stabbed this time.

"Stop moving!" yelled one of my usual followers.

"I would stab you again but I think that what we're about to do will be perfect to finish you off," said the second one.

"Besides, she's bleeding so making her bleed more would be suspicious," said the one holding my arms behind me. He has a good grip.

"You're right, it would be suspicious," said the second one of my usual followers. He had dark hair and eyes from what I could see. I looked around and noticed that all of the guys formed a protective barrier around me. I was caught but protected...that's new.

"We were told to finish you off instead of taking you to where we were supposed to," the first follower said. He had dark eyes but light hair.

"He's right. This time we did this instead of sneaking into your house late at night because we saw you at school today and recognized one of your classmates," said the second one. They've gotten smarter...but not that smart.

Yami

"Sam!" I yelled out.

"Tyler!" Yugi called. We were near the park. We've been yelling out to Sam for about an hour but no sign of her. I wanted to try and sense her but we'd have to stop looking.

"Yami!" Yugi called out. I ran to where he was. He had gone back to the park and was in the area that was full of trees.

"What is it? We stopped looking around here a while ago," I answered as I approached him.

"I know, but I decided to look around here since we haven't. Look!" he said while pointing to the snow.

"It's blood," I said worriedly.

"Yes. That means Sam must've been here, look at this too," Yugi said while holding something up for me to see. It looked like fabric from a winter jacket.

"Its Sam's," I said while touching the piece of fabric softly.

"Yami! There's a trail of blood, just like the first time you found her. There's footsteps too," Yugi said.

"Let's follow them," I said. Yugi and I ran following both trails. We had spent a while following it and the blood seemed to stop near the bridge.

"Yami! Sam's up there!" Yugi said. I looked up to the bridge and there she was she was being held by the same group of thugs as before. She was positioned in a way that would make the guys push her into the water below.

I sat down and meditated in hopes of being able to reach her, just to see her and tell her that I was there. I appeared in front of Sam. Her beautiful, long hair being blown away from her face by the strong gusts of wind, showing her delicate features. Her blue eyes were tear-stricken and her cheeks showing trails of where those tears traveled.

She slightly smiled at the sight of me and another tear streamed down her cheek. I approached her slowly and gazed into her eyes as if it was the last time I would see them. I tried to wipe away one of her tears in but she turned away more tears streaming down her rosy cheeks due to the cold.

Sam

Yami's ghostly form has appeared to me once more. I could feel the tears in my eyes coming quicker. I just wanted to stare into those eyes before the push me...looks like I got my wish.

"Don't worry Sam. I'm coming," he said as he disappeared.

"This is it kid..." began on of the guys behind me.

"You're done," said another one.

"Say goodbye," said the one holding my arms back and pushed me off the bridge after he let go of my arms. It's over...I'm done.

"SAM!" I heard someone familiar yell. I stretched out my arm quickly hoping that I was able to grasp the rail. I felt some sort of force push me upwards and was able to grasp the rail with both hands...it was incredibly cold but I don't care.

"It's him! Let's get out of here!" yelled one of them. They ran off, leaving me there. I could feel my grip loosening...it would be over before they could get to me.

"Hang on!" I heard Yami yell. I wanted to...I just couldn't...I feel to weak. One of my hands has already let go...it won't be long until the other one does the same. It's over...I'm going to miss all of you. I hope you guys know that. I'm to weak to hold on... I closed my eyes as I felt the other one slip away...all that was left was the impact upon the freezing water...
