Chapter 16
Just a Dream
Bakura frowned at the prince. When did he learn that? To his knowledge, Yami wasn't on a very high level. The prince received his power only a few days ago. How could he already do this?
The white haired man chuckled. Must be something I said, he thought.
An angry looking fireball whizzed past his head, singing his white locks, interrupting his chuckles. He returned his attention to the other boy who was walking slowly over, still ablaze. Yami wasn't red anymore; he was turning orange.
Bakura went into his pocket and pulled out some ice shards. Throwing them in the direction of Yami, he cried, "FREEZE FOOL!"
Yami's eyes widen a little. Did that man just call him a fool?
The shards hit Yami directly. Making contact with his skin, he began to freeze over. He looked down at his hands and watched them ice over. Bakura laughed. That was a level six spell. No ordinary person lived through that.
He jumped down from his sat on top of the bookcase, landing gracefully, and made his way over to the ice sculpture. He snickered. Too-
The sculpture began to melt. Easy?
The icicle shattered sending ice shards everywhere. Yami appeared fully yellow orange now. "It won't be that easy, fool," Yami said coldly.
"Well, watch this," Bakura said, trying to seem unshaken. How did that little spike ball beat a level six spell?
Grabbing the canteen hooked to his waist, he emptied the bottle, letting the water drip to the floor. "TSUMANI WAVE!"
The water flew up into the air and began turning and twisting. The ball of water that it formed began growing at a fast rate. In under a minute, a huge wave was heading straight for Yami.
Yami didn't even blink when the wave washed over him. Bakura laughed. The poor idiot didn't even have a chance. He saw the form of Yami standing up, wet, and covered in the blue water.
Wait, was that…steam coming off him?
It was indeed steam and Yami wasn't covered in water. He was so hot he was blue. It was Yami's turn to laugh. "Is that all you have for me?"
Bakura stared in horror at the boy. That was a level 10 spell. LEVEL 10! He felt someone grab his tunic and he was pulled so he was looking at Yami. For once, Bakura was scared. "Where are my friends?" Yami said, "Where is Anzu?"
Serenity could not believe how tired she felt. She felt like she had just walked up that mountain where they had found Allayna's jewel, then back down, then repeating this seven more times.
She also felt cold. The outfit Fatima gave her as very pretty but it wasn't very warm. What had the girl been thinking giving her this? Oh well.
Turning she only saw darkness. Where are my friends? She thought.
Feeling scared, she took a deep breath. Trying to remember what Joey had taught her when she was little, she felt herself begin to et even breathes. Now, since Joey was a knight, he knew skills that helped a person know their surroundings. The thing you need to do is use your five senses.
Since Serenity couldn't see anything. She used her hearing. Hearing nothing but her own breathing, she tried smelling. Sniffing, she covered her nose. It smelt like…blood…death. Her eyes tearing she used touch. Feeling around, she gasped in horror. Someone's arm was underneath her hand.
Stepping back, she tripped over something and fell on top of something soft. Trying to remain calm, she threw her hand into the air. Light erupted into the room. Rubbing her eyes from the flash so she could see, she looked down at whatever she was on and screamed.
"Seto," she whispered.
The body was indeed Seto's. The boy's usually perfect brown hair was tousled. His face was way paler than usual, deathly white. His shirt was torn, dried blood was in some places but his wounds still leaked blood. Serenity looked down at her hands; they were covered in his blood.
The thing that got her though was the look in his eyes. Those beautiful, sapphire blue eyes were lifeless, empty. Serenity began to cry. "No!" she cried.
Looking around she saw other bodies, running over to each she saw they were her friends. There was Anzu's, whose eyes were wide in fear. Yami was torn into pieces. Mai was cold and her body set at an angle. Then there was Joey.
Her brother was just like the others. Joey sported burns and cuts all over his body. The worst thing was the stomach wound. It was still bleeding. "Joey."
The light disappeared. She felt herself begin to suffocate. So much…death; so much…blood. It was toxic. This terrible thing. This can't be happening!
She felt herself glow and turn warm, like a ray of sunshine was beaming down on her. Serenity… a voice called.
"Yes?"
You are right; this is just a dream. It is also a spell; a terrible chaos spell. To stop it you need to know that this isn't real.
"Who are you?"
I am your spirit guide. I am the white wolf. Now come on.
"Okay."
Serenity told herself over and over again. This is just a dream. This is just a dream. This is just a dream.
She awoke abruptly. Her top was soaked. She felt around her. She was on…dirt? Looking around, she saw she was outside of the castle and sitting on the dirt outside.
She squeezed her hands; they were numb. Her right hand curled around wood. Remembering she had the staff Fatima gave her for a weapon, Serenity relaxed. What could happen?
"This could happen," a voice said.
Turning, she saw the boy who wore the glasses. The one with the blue/green hair. "Huh?"
Feeling something crawling up her arm, she saw it was a cockroach. "Ew!" she said, flicking it off. She felt more bugs crawling up her legs and her arms.
"Ready to have some fun?" the boy said, laughing crazily.
