The Gate to the Shadow Realm
by Marik's Dark Queen
Chapter 4
Ryou opened the door slowly. He saw a young girl lying on the floor, very scared and crying. She turned around and saw him. She was shocked because she was expecting to see her captor again. Ryou was staring at her and after a little he went near her and sat on the floor.
"It's ok. I won't hurt you," he said. Serenity didn't stop trembling and she was still very afraid. Ryou left the room and returned holding some clothes. He gave them to her and waited till she was fully dressed.
"My name is Ryou" he told her.
"Serenity" she answered.
"How did you get here Serenity?"
"I don't know. All I remember is him and how he hurt me, how he…"
"It's ok now. It's over" said Ryou.
"It's not over! He said that he will do it again. Any minute now! He will be here. He will rape me again…"
"Serenity I won't lie to you. You will be hurt again many times. But it will be better because…because I will be there to comfort you, to ease your pain"
Serenity looked up to him, still crying. "You promise?" she asked.
"Yes, I promise" said Ryou.
"What about you? How did you come here?"
"It's a very long story, but let's just say that I live here."
"Are you a prisoner too?"
"Something like that" Ryou moved so he could sit in a more comfortable way and Serenity saw his pained expression.
"Is he hurting you too?"
"No, not him"
"Then? Who's hurting you?"
"The other half of my soul" Ryou said.
"What do you mean?" asked Serenity and looked at Ryou, but before he could answer they heard voices from outside the room and Ryou left quickly.
Yami Marik had another meeting with his Rare Hunters. He ordered them to find and steal anything they could find about the Ritual of Darkness. He could never perform that ritual on his own, but now that Bakura would help him, he would be powerful enough. After the meeting was over he met Bakura.
"Finally we have all the information and the power we need" said Yami Marik.
"Good" said Bakura. "I've waited many centuries for it and now, when we do this ritual the world will be covered by the darkness of the shadow realm and we will rule it."
"The Gate can be opened only when the eclipse happens and the moon covers the sun. We have to wait for it" said Yami Marik "and when the Gate of the Shadow Realm opens, the shadows will be unleashed on the world giving ultimate power to their ruler."
"To their rulers" said Bakura "don't forget that. We are partners in this plan."
'That's what you think' thought Yami Marik 'when the Gate opens there will be only one Ruler of the Shadows and he won't be you'.
"Good morning Tea" Tristan said.
"It's not a good morning Tristan" said Tea "Serenity left us and Joey is locked in his room still very angry at her. Do you think that he hates her now? How can he! She's his little sister; he always cared about her more that anyone else! And we were her friends! She can't have abandoned us in one night for no reason. We were so happy all together!"
"C'mon, let's go for a walk. It will help you relax a little" said Tristan.
"We can't leave Joey alone here! We are his friends, he needs us now more than ever".
"Maybe if we left him alone for a while he would calm down a little. We can try" said Tristan.
"Ok Tristan but only for a few minutes."
Tea and Tristan left their house. Tristan was leading Tea to their neighbor's garden. When Tea realized where they were going she stopped walking.
"No Tristan we can't go there. It's illegal" said Tea.
"Doesn't matter. Just follow me"
"No! Of course it matters we won't go there!" Tea shouted.
"Yes we will, whether you like it or not!" said Tristan and started dragging Tea.
"Tristan what's wrong with you! You never acted like that!" Tea continued shouting.
Tristan continued dragging her, like he hadn't heard her screams.
"Tristan! I'm talking to you! Don't you hear me! We aren't going in there!" shouted Tea again and tried to make him let her arm as hard as she could.
Tristan turned around and hit her. "Shut up wench!" he said and then hit her again very hard. Tea stopped struggling, she had almost fainted. She was very weak. He lifted her up and carried her. They entered the house through a trap door in the garden.
"I brought her master" Tristan said to Yami Marik. "Just as you wished".
'Good, very good" said Yami Marik looking at Tea.
