Chapter two – Surprise

The man turned to the red head and began laughing. "You're going to stop me?" He asked and the red head nodded, looking pretty confident about it. "Yes, I am." The red head said and the bald one began laughing harder.
"Oh, I'm so scared little boy." The bald one said and the red head smirked. "The name is Alister by the way." He said and the bald one smiled. "Oh, how precious, now go away." He said but Alister walked towards him, and oddly he drew a card from his deck, he was also wearing an odd looking duel disc.
"Do you like your soul?" Alister asked as he drew another card, this one a magic card with a weird circle on it.
Amy was meanwhile looking on, she was just glad that what the bald one wanted to do to her was delayed. "Should I?" The bald one asked and Alister smiled as he lifted his monster card, which could be identified as man eater bug. "You should, it's what keeps you in this plane." He said and then suddenly a light came from his card, glowing brightly.
'What the hell?" The bald one asked as he had to shield his eyes from the light, and so did Amy.
Alister smiled as he looked at his man eater bug, not his favorite monster, but it would do very well. "Say hello to my monster." Alister said and the bald guy now looked at began laughing. "Oh, you so scared me with that hologram." He said and Alister smiled. "I never said it was a hologram." He said and then pointed to the bald guy. "Man eater bug, do your thing." Alister said and the creature began running towards the bald guy.
The bald guy didn't seem worried, he was convinced it was a hologram, but then the creature pounced him and began tearing at his flesh, the guy yelled but after a while nothing was left, nothing but his face on the magic card Alister held.
Alister made man-eater bug disappear and then walked towards Amy, who was shocked out of her wits from seeing that. "Are you okay?" He asked and she turned to him. "You killed him!" She yelled and Alister smirked. "Was he not going to do the same to you?" Alister asked and Amy growled, he was most probably, but that still gave him no right to kill him.
"Yes, but that didn't give you any right, what happened to him, how did your monster appear?" She yelled and Alister smiled. "Duel me and I'll show you." He said as she looked at her duel disc, she shook her head, she didn't want to duel now.
"Do I look like I'm in any position to duel?" She asked, she was shaking and shivering, she was definitely not in any position to duel, Alister smirked as he looked at her.
"No, but I don't care, I just need your soul." He said and Amy growled, she figured out by now that this was one of the guys who stole people's souls.
"So you saved me physically to kill me mentally?" She asked and Alister smiled. "That's a better way of putting it, but I'm basically going to rip the life out of you." He said and she growled.
"Why do you steal peoples souls?" She asked, she wanted to know what the insane reason was for his behavior.
Alister growled. "These people are cruel and ruthless, they don't care about anyone." Alister said and Amy gasped. "That's no reason to hurt people! And not all people are cruel and ruthless, there is only a couple, like you!" She yelled and Alister growled.
"I am not the monster, Cysoboro Kaiba is the monster!" He yelled and Amy gasped, her past coming up. "Don't talk about him!" She yelled and Alister growled. "Why not? Do you like him? If you do, you're foolish!" Alister yelled and Amy growled.
"I hate that son of a bitch!" She yelled and Alister was surprised at her outburst, it seemed he wasn't the only one who hated him.
But Alister was still angry, he had a much more valid reason than her to hate him, even if he didn't know her reason. "What he did to me was far worse that what he did to you!" Alister yelled and Amy got angry now.
"Oh and what did he do to you?" She asked and Alister growled. "He took my brother!" He yelled and Amy scowled, almost the same as her. "Is your brother still alive?" She asked and Alister nodded. "I think so, I don't know." He said and she growled.
"Then good for you, my sister is dead, he killed her!" She yelled as tears came to her eyes. "I saw her blow up right in front of my eyes, your brother might still be alive, my sister is dead, gone forever!" She yelled and Alister gasped, he seemed to feel pity now.
He looked down at Amy, she seemed really broken up about it. "Do you have any remembrance of her?" He asked and Amy shook her head. "No… I lost it long ago, the same day I lost her." She said and Alister went down on his knees, so that he could see her eye to eye.
"Same here… I lost the only thing I had left of my brother." He said, he found an odd fascination in this girl, she seemed like she might be able to understand him, not like everyone else.
She looked up at him, his gray eyes seemed empty, but it still held emotion, just like hers, except hers were purple. "What did you have of your brother?" She asked and Alister smiled. "Oh nothing really important, it was actually stupid, but it was all I had, but it's gone now." He said and Amy nodded.
She looked at her jacket pocket, that's were she put the action figure. "Mine was a bit stupid to, but when I lost it, it was replaced with someone else's thing, so someone out there is running around with my sisters doll." She said and Alister gasped. "Did you say doll?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, it was a black headed Barbie if I remember right." She said and Alister gasped again, this couldn't be the girl he ran into so long ago.
"Why do you look so surprised, it's what little girls play with." She said and Alister was still speechless and Amy was finding this weird. "Um… hello…?" She said as she waved her hand in front of his face, and he snapped out of his trance.
"I'm sorry… but with what was the doll replaced?" He asked and she took the action figure out of her jackets pocket. "This, it's a bit beaten up, but I kept it all these years because I know it means something to someone." She said and Alister looked at the too familiar action figure.
He took it from her and looked at it closer, it was the same one his brother had, the same one he had before it accidentally got switched with the doll. "I don't believe it." He said and she was confused.
"Don't believe what? That it's as old as a relic?" She asked and Alister shook his head. "No girl…" He said and she sighed. "By the way, my name is Amy if you care." She said and Alister nodded, she didn't understand his weird behavior.
Alister looked at her, and then back at the action figure. "Can I have this?" He asked and she gasped. "No way, that's all I have left, even if it isn't mine, I have had that toy for 11 years, it means something to me." She said and Alister nodded.
"And so does it to me." He said and now she was confused, even if it was obvious, she didn't understand. "What do you mean? How can it mean something to you, you just saw it for the first time…" She said and Alister shook his head.
"This is the toy I lost, this is my brothers action figure." He said and she gasped. "You mean to tell me you're that boy I ran into?" She asked and Alister nodded. "Yes, and you're the girl I ran into, if you don't believe me, I do remember that both were in cloths, that's why we picked up the wrong ones." He said and she nodded, but then had a question.
"I can't deny you property of it then, but were is my sisters doll?" She asked as Alister put the action figure in his capes pocket.
"At my home." He said and she nodded. "Can I please come to get it, I really want it." She said and Alister nodded, he knew how she felt, after all these years he was so glad to find the action figure again, it was like loosing an important item and then discovering it later, you can't describe the joy you feel.
He got up and began walking, and she followed…

They have been walking for a while and Amy was getting tired, she wasn't really used to walking long distances, since most shops were near her.
"How far?" She asked and Alister smiled. "Oh we passed it already." He said and she gasped. "What? Then why are we still walking?" She asked and he smiled. "You looked a little tired, and fresh air works great for sleepiness." He said and she growled.
"I am sleepy because I'm walking…" She said as she was close to fainting.
Alister turned to her and saw how weary she was looking. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked and she nodded. "Yes… I think so…" She said, but then she fell to the ground, but luckily Alister was in time to catch her.
"I dare say you're not." He said and she smiled slightly. "Guess you're right…" She whispered and then Alister helped her up…
