Chapter Five- Airheaded Duelist
Around 8:30 the next night, the group was ready to go to the Sanderson house. Cora locked the front door. Then, she flipped through her key ring until she found a very old looking copper key. She slipped it off the ring and handed it to Evee.
"Don't lose it," Cora reminded. Evee sighed.
"Just because I lost my house key once doesn't mean I'll lose this key," she said.
"Just once?" replied Cora.
"Okay, twice," said Evee. Cora narrowed her eyes.
"Ugh! Okay, okay. It was three times," Evee admitted.
"My point exactly," replied Cora. She looked at the old key in Evee's hand. "Don't lose it,"
Cora and Evee lead the group up the stone walkway of the Sanderson house. They slowly climbed thefront steps. Evee pulled out the key, which she surprisingly didn't loose, and unlocked the door. It creaked open eerily. Tea jumped slightly in fright. She was worried something might pop out. But thankfully, nothing did.
What the group didn't know was that a pair of yellow eyes was watching them from the window. They didn't like the fact that the kids were going into the old house, and therefore, kept their gaze on on eerie looking candle inside.
The group started to wander the old house. It was dusty and smelled slightly of mold. A golden plate that read 'Witch's Brooms' hung below three old brooms. Velvet ropes hung around many objects. Plaques stood near most of the items.
The yellow eyes kept there gaze on the children. But they now took sudden interest in Seto, who was standing near the odd candle.
Cora was with Mokuba and Tea near an old book resting in a glass case.
"This is Winifred Sanderson's spell book," she said. "Given to her by the devil himself. They say the book is bound in human skin and contains the recipes for Winifred's darkest spells,"
"We get the point," said Tea. Cora laughed.
Evee then noticed Seto studying the old candle. Seto saw her.
"What's this?" he asked.
"Well, Kaiba, most people would call it a candle," Evee said. Seto narrowed his eyes at her. "Okay, okay. Just trying to be funny. The truth is that that's the black flame candle,"
"The candle from your story?" asked Seto.
"Yep," replied Evee. She glanced out the window. "And would ya look at that. It's a full moon on Halloween night,"
"Somehow that doesn't sound like a good thing," said Tea. Seto laughed slightly and noticed a lighter on the floor near the black flame candle. He picked it up.
"Hey, Evee," he said, glancing at her.
"Yes," said Evee.
"You said that if a duelist lit the candle under a full moon on Halloween night, the witches would come back, right?"
"Yes,"
"I can already see I don't like where this going," said Yugi.
"Well," here, Seto flicked on the lighter, "why don't we light it and meet them ourselves?"
"I wouldn't," said Cora.
"Why not?" asked Seto. "The stories can't be true,"
"They are true," said Evee.
"Kaiba, why don't you listen to them?" asked Marik, his temper rising. Seto lowered the flame to the wick.
"Yeah, Kaiba, let's go," said Tea.
"Please," Seto muttered. He couldn't believe everyone believed in this garbage.
"Come on, Seto," said Mokuba. "Maybe they're right. Maybe we should leave,"
"Yeah, why don't you listen to your brother, Seto," said Cora. But she was too late. Seto had lit the candle. But, nothing happened.
The cat, who's yellow eyes had been watching the group, jumped from his place at the windowsill. He squeezed himself inside through a crack in the old window.
Suddenly, the aged wooded floorboards began to tremble. Something green glowed underneath. The wood seemed to come apart. The lights died in the ancient house. Everybody had to grab onto something to stay standing. Then, as quickly as it happened, it stopped.The lights flicked back on. Everybody glanced around, wide-eyed and frightened.
They all regained stability. Tea was the first to speak up.
"All right, Kaiba, I think we've all had enough," she said.
"Yeah, maybe we better go," said Tristan. He looked over at Joey, who was clinging to one of the wooded supportbeams on the wall.
"Yeah, before Joey has a heart attack," said Evee.
"Before!" Joey exclaimed.
"Okay, before Joey has another heart attack," replied Cora. Joey blushed, now realizing everyone was staring at him. He let go of the beam.
"Come on," said Yugi. He, Tea, Tristan and a very frightened Joey, walked to the door.
"You guys coming?" asked Joey.
"Just a sec," said Evee.
"Come on Kaiba," said Cora. She and Mokuba walked to the door.
"Yeah, come on," said Evee.
"Don't tell me you're all scared," said Seto.
"Not scared," said Evee.
"Just cautious," said Cora. Seto rolled his eyes. But then...
