Happy Halloween everyone! In this fic, Yugi has a psychological disorder, in which whenever he becomes disturbed or frightened, he conjures and creates these demons called Nightmares. They torment the poor boy day in, day out. His only weapon of self-defense is a small dagger that is strapped to his back by a pouch. Then, one night, he decides to face the creatures head on, alone. Will he win, or die trying? Read onward and find out. (I did this while listening to Sit Down, Stand up by Radiohead, since I thought it fit with the story.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.
Yugi stood in the abandoned warehouse, his clothes tattered and worn from the creatures he created. He wasn't a brave kid, always fleeing from different places. Even his friends knew that he had a disorder that controlled his life. He pulled the dagger out of the pouch that was strapped to his back. He held it in his hands, and grasped the handle firmly. This time, he would defeat the Nightmares once and for all.
Outside, however, the Nightmares were already approaching the warehouse at a fast pace. The leader stood out from the rest, with silver horns poking out of his head. All of them had black spiky hair as they grinned mercilessly.
"Don't harm him just yet," the leader told the others, giggling. "Let him reflect his memories with us for one last time." The other demons joined in with the laughter as they approached the door.
Yugi placed the dagger back into the pouch, and cradled himself. The Nightmares had affected him ever since he was a child. They always tormented him in any possible way, such as tying him to a chair, laughing in his ears. They even performed a dissection on him, the scalpels still scraping his skin. He somehow managed to survive their threats, but now, he feared them more than ever. A loud banging sound stopped him from thinking about his past memories with the demons. The Nightmares were standing in the doorway, grinning and laughing evilly.
"It's good to see you again, little Yugi," the leader laughed. "You only have a matter of time before you end your life here." The other Nightmares laughed in his face, as he reflected on one memory that scarred him for life.
He sat on the ground, his arms strapped by iron chains. Only one Nightmare was there, his shadow looming over the boy.
"This little thing will be quite a shocker!" the Nightmare laughed, grasping an electric current pole, the small wires poking out of the pole. The boy looked up, but it was too late. The electricity was coursing through his body, as he screamed with pain. The Nightmare laughed at him as the electricity flowed through the boy's body.
Yugi covered his face at the memory, the Nightmares laughing evilly through his sorrow. Two of the demons wanted to attack, but the leader held them back. One of them crawled up the wall, looked down at Yugi, and snickered. The black demon then leapt down at him, roaring. Then, Yugi pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the little demon through its gut. The leader was shocked as Yugi killed the demon, and wiping off the knife. The leader ordered the other Nightmares to attack him, but Yugi defended himself with the dagger. One Nightmare ran up behind him, and ran its sharp claws across his back, laughing at the blood on its fingers. Yugi retaliated by using the dagger through its head. More and more Nightmares attacked, but Yugi defeated them with his only weapon. Finally, the battle was over, and the dagger was trough one of the Nightmare's decapitated head, as Yugi sat beside it, shivering.
Well? Did you like it? A pretty good Halloween one-shot, don't you think? Review and have a happy Halloween.
