Hi guys. its me. nothing to say except enjoy the quiz.
back at the museum bus.
The bus got off at the school. It was in the afternoon. Class had been out a long time. Yugi matt and li all got off together. The sun had just went down and it was getting dark. There was a honk and matts mom drove to get him. Yugi and li started to go to lis house. They were neighbors really. Yugi lived a couple house away so they went and talked. They got to the house. The windows were all dark except the window in Lis room. It was open.
"yugi." she said. "I closed that when I got up."
"Ill go in with you." he said and went to the door. Li put the key in. the house was dark.
"Mom? Dad?" she said up the stairs. No answer came.
Yugi went up in front of her. Li went behind him looking around. They got to her room. The window was open in the breeze. Bundle was still on her bed.
"Where your parents?" he asked her.
Li shrugged. It was Tuesday. They should have been there by then. Or at least her mom.
"I dunno. Let me call." she took out her cell and put in her moms number. To her surprise she heard a song coming from her mom's room. Li went into the room. It was dark. There was a figure on the bed with its arms wide out. There was an uneasy quite in the room. Li looked at yugi who felt it too. He knew there was something wrong--he just didn't know what. Li went over to the figure. It was a lady who was on her side.
"Mom?" she asked pulling the limp figure toward her.
The body went to look at her. Dead eyes stared back up at her. A look a panic frozen in them forever. Blood soaked her shirt. Her hair settled messily on her face. Li screamed. She took a step back and saw somebody on the floor. A man. A large red cut oozing blood on his neck. His eyes were shut but a look of pain was on his face.
"Yugi." Li half yelled half cried.
that night.
Li was in yugis room. It was past midnight. Li had just finished talking to the cops. Her parents had been dead for a few hours. Li couldn't cry. She wasn't angry. She wasn't sad. She was empty. She couldn't feel. It wasn't real to her. Yugi came in.
"The cops said you can pick where you go next since you don't have anymore family." he said. "You can stay here...if you want."
She looked at him. Yami had been right. There was a connection between them. She had to stay there.
"Can I?" she asked. Her voice sounded far away.
He nodded. Li felt tears come down out of her eyes. Then she couldn't stop them. Yugi hugged her. She cried for hours it felt like. She couldn't stop no matter what she did. It was not easy to breathe. Yugi never moved though. Until finally she cried herself to sleep. Yugi put her on his bed and went down stairs. The cops looked at him.
"Mr. Muoto..."
"Yugi."
"Um yugi. Where's is Li?"
"She's upstairs sleeping."
"We need to ask her a few questions."
"She just lost her parents. She cried herself to sleep. She can't answer anything for you right now."
The cops looked at him with annoyince and left. Yami came to him.
"I think I know who did this." he said.
"Who?"
"She's been followed by a rarehunter. A rarehunter must have been in her room last night. Marik did something--but why?"
"Maybe he knows she's a guardian-or chosen--whatever they are. But yami-- why Li? Doesn't that mean all the other guardians are in danger too?"
Yami shrugged.
"I have the weirdest feeling that maybe--there's something different about her. Or at least different from the other guardians. Why else would she have reacted so weird to seeing the picture of seth at the museum? She has dreams yugi. I can see it in her. She dreams about Egypt. About her life there. We just have to find out what it all means."
Yugi thought about Li.
"We have to take her back to ishizu." yami said.
"She can't go now. Her parents just died yami."
"I know but--it might be important. Whoever killed them might come back for her. They obviously know where she lives so they might come back to finish up there job."
Yugi nodded.
"We'll talk to her in the morning."
meanwhile.
Sam woke up. Ice like sweat dripped down her face. She pulled her blanket close to her. The darkness in the room was not comforting but weird. She got up slowly. She had just had a weird dream. There were dead bodies. Somebody killed them. There was a funeral. Li was there. She had been crying. She and becky and matt were all there. Then that red haired guy was there too. He was with Becky. But there had been somebody else. A girl. With long black hair. Sam felt her stomach turn into a knot. She killed them. The people at the funeral. The girl killed them. Sam shook her head. It was just a dream. Right? Sam looked over at Becky. Her room was across the hall from her. She was sleeping with a smile on her face. Becky always slept like that. She said she dreampt of happy things like dragons and flying and roses. Sam sighed. She always dreampt the worst. Dead bodies murder. blood. Always. The weird part was Sam would sometimes blank out in the middle of the day and dream. Like--she was at the store and she'd get robbed. Then it would happen.
"Becky?" she called across the hall.
"hm?"
"I had another dream."
Becky went up.
"What happened this time? Who died?"
Becky thought Sam was full of it.
"I dunno. Li was really upset though. That red haired guy was there with you."
Becky went over by her sister.
"Finally. You dream something that I wanna know about."
"It wasn't anything big. You guys were just--together."
"Is he like the guy from your other dreams?"
Sam had dreamt for as long as she could remember a dream about Becky. It was always the same. Becky was with a fox made of ice. She had roses all tied up in her hair. Half way through the dream the fox would turn into a human with long silver hair. They were on the other side of a wall made of black smoke. Sam was on the other side watching them. shed yell and scream but in the end theyd always leave her there.
"Yeah. Like the guy in my dream. Only it was the guy from the bus."
There was quiet.
"Sam? Do you think what that ishizu lady said was true?"
Sam stopped. She hadn't really thought about it. It al seemed like a rpg. All planned out. Sam didn't know what to think. But if it were true it would explain her tattoo and her weird dreams.
"I don't know." she said. "well have to go back and see."
Becky nodded then went back to her room. When Sam was sure she was sleeping she called Lis house. A man answered.
"The Adams family."
"Um--Mr. Adams?"
"No this is sheriff Talock from the d.d.p.d."
"The downtown domino police department?"
"Yeah that's us."
"What happened? Where's Li?"
"Are you a friend of hers?"
"Yeah."
"Lis parents were killed tonight. Li is staying with the muotos until further notice. Would you like there number?"
Sam's heart stopped. Li's parents were dead?"
"Um miss?"
Sam hung up.
the next day.
Li looked up. The ceiling looked far away. Where was she? Had last night been a dream? She went up. She was in yugis bedroom. It was true. Li felt like she didn't have any tears left to cry. She looked at her watch. It was an hour past class started. Was she there all by herself? She went down in the living room. A few cops were there talking to the neighbors outside.
"morning miss Adams." a cop said.
Li saw yugi near by.
"Yugi?"
"Hi li. want something to eat?"
"Why aren't you at class?"
"I didn't wanna leave you hear by yourself. Grandpa isn't here so I stayed. There bringing over your stuff today. A cop said they'll have it here by noon."
Li felt her face grin.
"Thanx yugi. For everything."
"It's no big deal. Matt came by earlier. Sam called him at 4 in the morning last night and said what happened. Did you call her?"
"No."
"Well anyways. There all coming over after class. That is if you want them to."
Li nodded. She didn't wanna be alone. She wanted people there with her. That way she couldn't get hurt and neither could they. Like her parents had. Li started to think.
"What if I had been there?" she thought as yugi went to get her something to eat. "What if I haven't went on that trip? What if I hadn't let that guy--odion--see me at the restraunt that night?"
Yugi looked at her as he brought her a cup of starbucks coffee.
"A cop brought this by earlier."
"What if I had been there yugi?"
He sighed.
"There's nothing you could do about it Li. it was there time. Yami and I were talking though."
She looked at him.
"Yeah?"
"He said maybe--we should go back to ishizu and--maybe the guy who did this--li. we think marik is after you."
"Marik?"
So yugi said everything about marik and the robed men who worked for him. Li nodded as she drank her coffee, it was warm, but she could barely feel it. She could barely feel anything. Yugi nodded.
"We think he has something to do with this. Yami thinks it. Im not sure. I do know that if you want we can go see her today. Or we can wait. Your choice."
Li thought for a moment. She wasn't ready to go anywhere. She didn't wanna go anywhere. Not to see some lady. Not to the place she had been when her parents were getting killed. No. she wanted to stay there. She shook her head.
"I need time."
Yugi nodded.
"I understand. Trust me."
