Chapter 18
Do they really want you?
The dinosaur charged towards Mai, jaw open showing all off its incredibly sharp teeth. The boy on top of the dinosaur laughed insanely as they came closer to Mai.
Mai was frozen in fear. It wasn't everyday she got chased by a creature that was supposed to be extinct. She didn't move until she heard its roar. Jumping out of the way, the dinosaur missed her by inches. As it continued to run, it rammed right into the wall.
"Idiot!" the boy cried out.
The dinosaur shook its head and turned back to Mai. Mai saw that there was a dent in the wall. "Who are you and why are you attacking me?" she asked.
Smirking, the boy said, "Well, since I'm going to kill you in a few minutes anyway…my name is Rex. Why am I attacking you? Because you're annoying."
When he said this, the dinosaur charged again. Mai, now infuriated with being called annoying, planted her feet firmly to the ground. If this guy wasn't going to stop attacking her, she was going to kill him. Remembering the belt bands around her wrists she twirled.
The silver bands began to grow a deep violet. The amethyst inlaid in them burned an even darker color. There was a crash from above. A mini tornado flew into the room and fell onto Mai. It surrounded her, growing larger with each spin the girl made. It began to grow amethyst color itself.
Mai stopped twirling and stepped out of wind. "Go."
The dinosaur had stopped running after the glass broke. It had watched in horror as the wind became fiercer and way more violent. Rex grew angrier. This creature was supposed to listen to him! "Dumb beast! It is only wind. It can't hurt you!"
But the dinosaur wasn't listening. It was only listening to its own thoughts. The dinosaur was surprised it could even think. The one thought that kept coming up was…
RUN.
The dinosaur vaulted Rex of its back; much like a donkey would a rider, and began head butting the dent in the wall it had made before. Rex was so angry, his cheeks felt like they were on fire. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
The dinosaur finally broke through the wall and charged out. Rex turned away from it. It didn't matter if the beast went away…he could always summon another.
To bad Rex wasn't paying attention; if he had been he would have seen the tornado come even closer. Turning around, Rex shrieked. The tornado wrapped itself around the boy, throwing him around in its vortex like a doll. Finally the torment stopped and the boy dropped fifty feet.
"Take that you freak!" Mai said, hands on her hips. She was slightly out of breath.
Her breath caught in throat when she saw Rex perform hands signs and drawing symbols in the air. The boy never hit the ground. A Tyrannosaurus Rex caught him. Mai knew what this one was called from the one time she went to the library. The dinosaur looked almost exactly like the picture from the box.
The placed Weevil on the ground and took a few steps towards Mai. He made it over to her in four. He bent down to pick her up with its little arms. Shaking Mai sent a wave of air at him. He didn't even flinch.
She felt the scaly claw wrap around her trembling form and the rush of air as she was lifted high into the air. She closed her eyes in fright. When she felt the lifting stop she opened them up and screamed. The giant teeth of the Rex were the size of her body.
"So Mai, ready to die?" Rex asked, staring at her evilly.
When Anzu had blacked out, she felt nothing. She awakened a few minutes later to see she was in one of the many gardens of the palace. She was lying next to a fountain. Rubbing her eyes. She sat up and looked around.
This garden was full of roses of all different colors. There was red, white, pink and a rose color that was introduced by mages a few years ago…the blue rose of Crishan. It was said that the rose was created with water and the petals felt like solid liquid, yet it wasn't ice.
Walking over to one, she smelt it. It smelt of the sea and Anzu could almost hear the gull dries and the soft lapping of the waves. Anzu heard a pooping noise and the sound of boots clicking the ground.
Anzu saw that the little girl…what was her name? Oh yes, Rebecca…was there. The girls white robe billowed in the night air. "So, little orphan girl woke up."
Anzu's eyes widened. "How do you now that?"
Rebecca smiled and pointed down towards her robe. "I am a white robed mage. I am able to see into people souls at will. I now you were abandoned when you were young."
Anzu felt tears well up in her eyes.
"Also, You don't know why."
She sniffled.
"You now what I think? I think you were to much trouble."
A tear fell down her face.
"You were worthless."
Another tear followed.
"Just like you are worthless to Yami and your friends."
She sniffled again.
"Your not good enough for him you now. He deserves someone better. A strong girl with power and is not a little servant but a mage. Someone like…"
Anzu's heart felt like it was being ripped from her chest. Did he truly love her? Did she really have friends? "…Me."
Rebecca laughed. She was destroying Anzu from the inside. Maybe I should ask Bakura not to kill Yami…I want him to be my own personal toy.
Anzu felt a wave of power rush through her. No. If Anzu couldn't have Yami's love, no way was some blond wench going to get her Yami. Anzu's vision turned blue like the ocean. She saw something swimming towards her.
The magnificent dolphin she had seen when she had received her powers swam around her in circles. Anzu.
"Yes?" Anzu thought spoke. She was holding her breath in fear of drowning.
This girl is trying to hurt your heart. You have let her stab you in too many places. It is time to fight. Your friends treasure you deeply in their hearts. Do not listen to her hurtful words. Listen to your own insights.
"Thank you."
Anzu stood up. Putting her arms towards her necklace, she began to fell her aura grow more powerful. Rebecca took a step back. What was going on?
"You will pay for this dear Rebecca."
Yami felt a pang in his heart. Something was terribly wrong.
Anzu is in trouble!
Turning towards Bakura who had fire burns all over his arms, Yami asked the man, "Had enough?"
Though Bakura wasn't weak, he felt his energy draining. This boy had so much anger. Maybe he shouldn't have pissed the by off. Bakura nodded. "I have had it with Lord Pegasus. I will help you find your beloved Anzu."
Yami nodded and helped the man get up.
