Finally I'm back! Sorry I've taken so long, just been busy, lazy, lost some ideas for the story. I've started to write the next chapter, but not really sure what to write. Any ideas are more the welcomed.

Oh ya! And today….Today's my birthday! nn  April 12. I'm finally 15!  I'm so happy!

Opps…..on with the story.

There is an important notice after the preview of chapter 8.


Wake Not the Nightmare – Chapter 7: Safe?

"Rapid Tempo!"

Anna felt herself falling, then she was caught by swift arms, and placed sitting on the ground.

'Ren?' thought Anna.

Anna felt her gag being removed from her mouth. "Who's there!" she asked quickly.

"What? No thank you?" said Ren as he removed Anna's blindfold.

"Hmm," smirked Anna. "Just hurry and untie me."

Just then Ren was attacked.

"Ren!" shouted Yoh and Anna.

"Ren get up!" shouted Anna.

"Icicle Assult!"

"Horo Horo?" stated Anna.

"The one and only," he said, while he gave a hand to Ren.

"Get those two," Marti ordered his men.

"Well no time for a chat, chum," said Ren getting up. "It looks like we've got company.

Ren, Horo Horo, and Yoh began to get the men coming towards them.

"Hold on, Anna," called Yoh as he was dealing with a number of her father's men. "I'll set you free. Just hold on!"

"So," said Anna's father approaching her. "You managed to escape your oily death.

"No, get away from me," spat Anna. "Yoh!"

"Hold on, Anna," Yoh said as he ran to her. "Ah!" he yelled in pain as he was close-lined where his wound was. Yoh fell on his stomach.

"I bet you wouldn't be able to handle this, the death of your fiancé," smirked Marti as he lifted Anna's chin.

"You promised you wouldn't hurt him!" cried Anna, tears swelling in her eyes.

"I promised I wouldn't hurt him," remarked Marti, "it's ok if one of my men kill him. Marti gave one of his men a dagger and they approached Yoh.

"Yoh!" shouted Anna. "Get up!"

"Uh," moaned Yoh.

"Silence!" ordered her father.

Anna closed her eyes. She couldn't watch.

"Yoh!" shouted Ren and Horo Horo.

"Uh," he moaned again, rolling onto his back.

The man with the dagger approached Yoh and prepared to kill him.

"Lizard Launch!" the man was knocked unconscious.

"Ryu!"said Horo Horo happily.

"Master Yoh, wake up," said Ryu.

"Oh," he said, "five more minutes, guys."

"We don't have five minutes," said Ren. "Anna's life is on the line.

Yoh jolted up. "Anna!" Then he saw Ryu. "Ryu? What are you doing here?"

"He just saved your life," said Horo Horo.

Yoh looked at the unconscious guy. "Oh, thanks."

"Damn!" shouted Marti. "Why do you two keep avoiding death?"

"Easy," said Yoh, struggling to get up with his sword. "Our love and determination is what keeps us alive."

"If you think your love is so strong, try and save my pathetic daughter from this," Marti snapped his fingers. His men grabbed the boys from behind.

"What are you doing?" demanded Yoh.

Marti took out a needle. "This is full of deadly poison, boy, and I'm about to inject it into my worthless daughter," he laughed madly.

Anna backed away the best she could in her bonds as Marti brought the needle down to her skin.

Anna closed her eyes tight, preparing for the strike, but felt nothing. Instead she heard a painful moan coming from her father.

Anna opened her eyes and found her father on the ground, beside her, soaked in blood. Anna looked up in front of her to see Yoh standing there, panting hard. His sword of covering blood and he was looking down at Marti.

"Yoh," Anna whispered.

"You may have killed me, boy," Marti said to a surprised crowd. "But just so you know, I plan on taking my daughter with me." With every ounce of energy he had left, he lifted his hand with the needle and injected it into Anna's arm.

"Ah!" Anna cried in pain.

"Anna!" shouted Yoh, kicking Marti's body aside as he smirked then died. Yoh untied Anna. "Anna," Yoh said softly, cradling her in his arms.

"Yoh," Anna said softly. She winced at the pain the poison had given her.

Anna," said Yoh.

"Yoh," Anna anted, smiling at him. "Promise me…promise me that whatever happens you'll move on."

"Come on, Anna," pleaded Yoh. "You'll get through this."

Anna smiled. "maybe," she said as she fell unconscious in Yoh's arms.

Yoh began to cry, then felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on," said Ren. "She's still breathing, if we hurry and get her to a hospital she might be okay."

Yoh wiped his tears and smiled and nodded.

The boys were off to the hospital with Anna.

TBC………


Hmm…I wonder if Anna's going to make it. Well you'll have to wait and read to find out with what's going to happen next. Since it's my birthday, I've decided to give you a little preview of the next chapter. LoL I know, I know, I have always given you a preview, this time I'll make it longer, cause it's my birthday and I'm feeling nice. But really, don't you think I deserve some presents? LoL!

Now here is your preview of Wake Not the Nightmare – Chapter 8: (title unknown, help me think of one)

"Listen Yoh," said Ren. "Anna with be fine." He put a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Wait," said Yoh. "How did you guys find us?

"Well," began Horo Horo. "We all went to your house….Then as we were leaving…"

"Bason sensed something had happen to you and Anna," continued Ren. "…We decided to go in one by one that way…"

Thanks a lot you guys," smiled Yoh.

"No problem," said Ryu.

…'I'd better check on Anna.'…

The nuruse looked up at him, and gave him a nasty look.

…"She's my fiancée!" he blurted out. "I demand to know how she's doing!"

"Engaged or not kid, I can't tell you anything,"…

"Uh, that's okay?" Stuttered Yoh.

"I'm really sorry to say this, but…"

"What!" gasped Yoh. "I have to see her!"…

"Yoh felt so bad. "I wasn't able to protect you," whispered Yoh…

"Yoh," she called again. "I need you. Where did you go?"…

"Hey," Yoh smiled softly. "You awake?"

There was a long silence.

"Anna, I, uh, need to tell you that…"

"Yes?" she questioned.

"That…" stuttered Yoh.

Holy moly! That's a long preview, and I was looking over the chapter, there is still more but I decided to split it into two chapters. Unless you all want it in one shot. It's about 6 pages and ¼ of a page in writing and I'm still writing it. It's basically going to end this story, then move on to the sequel, if you guys want one that is. I'm sure you do, and I'll post the sequel anyways. So let me know if I should just finish the story in 8 chapters or 9 chapters you decide. So hurry and tell me so I can update.

Thanks to all my supporters out there! You guys rule! And I hope I'll get some nice reviews and new supports. But if you want, you can send an evil review if you want. I like them, they make me laugh, because it's my story and I don't care if people think it sucks or I have bad grammar and spelling. Aw well can wait for the nice and evil reviews!

Happy Birthday to Me!
