N: I'm soo sorry my loyal readers for taking so long to update. I was trying to update my other fic and post a new one. And then there was school. Arrgh! I hate Geometry! My teacher is all cool and stuff but this past week he wanted a bunch of things for Ch.5 done before we left our holiday last week and I barely made the deadline. And then, I got sick! Me sick! I never get sick but at school I was running a fever so I had to go home and rest for 3 days. So I couldn't get to my computer.
Bakura: Are you done?
N: Yeah I'm done. You know what to do. Tell them this is the start of part 2.
B: Nice doesn't own anything. And beware in this chapter the nightmares start! If you can't take it, suck it up and deal with it!
Recap: Tea fought the evil spirit and freed Kaiba from its grasp. She later goes home and finds a letter from the spirit that tells her not to go to sleep.
Ch.8: Yugi's nightmare
"Are you telling me that the evil spirit you put back in its grave left us this letter?" asked Joey.
The gang excluding Kaiba, who was still recovering, had gathered at the game shop. Tea had told them about the letter she found on her bed last night.
"But that's impossible! Tea you said you saw the evil go down in to the coffin!" exclaimed Mokuba.
"I did. Maybe someway, somehow, it escaped and now possesses someone else," said Tea.
"What can we do? We don't know who its in!" said Yami.
"We just wait. But I think we have bigger things to worry about now. Like who really hurt Yugi and the second part of the letter," said Tea, her eyes closed, deep in thought.
"What do mean? I thought the spirit was the one who hurt Yugi," said Mina with confusement.
"I thought that to, but when I confronted it, it had said that it didn't do it."
Flashback
"Why did you hurt Yugi? He didn't even get to fight back!" asked Tea.
With this statement the evil looked at her with confusement. "I haven't hurt little Yugi yet. I was going to go after him next."
End Flashback
"It might've been lying, you know," said Joey.
"I don't think it was. When I said that, it looked at me confusement."
"Oh. What about the second part of the letter?" asked Mai.
"It said not to go to sleep and something about the Boogieman."
"The Boogieman?" asked everyone.
"You mean, the monster that hides under the bed?" asked Mina. "I don't believe in it! I stopped believing when I was like seven!"
"If that's all it is, then I have nothing to be afraid of," proclaimed Marik.
"I'm know I'm way more scarier than some Boogieman!" said Bakura proudly.
"That is true," said Ryou.
"But it might be something much more sinister than you," said Malik.
"Are you saying that I'm not sinister!" exclaimed Bakura and Marik.
"No but…" said Malik.
"What I think he's trying to say is that it might something as equally sinister as you," said Yami.
"Okay," said the two other yamis.
Mokuba got up and streached. "Well, I'm going to see how Big Brother is doing. See you guys later!" he said as he walked out of the door.
"Bye guys!" said Mina as she ran after him.
After they left, Marik and Malik got up too. " We better get going too. Sister wanted us to help at the museum today," said Malik.
"But I don't wanna help! Those little brats that come always get us in trouble!" whined Marik.
"Let's go!" said Malik as he dragged Marik out of the door by his shirt collar.
"Well I got to help out around the store, since Yugi is… well you know," said Yami sadly.
"Don't be sad Yami! Bakura and I will help you around the shop! Won't we, Bakura?" asked Ryou.
"What's all this "we" stuff? I'm not helping!" exclaimed Bakura.
"Come on! I'll make your favorite dinner tonight!" cooed Ryou.
"You mean..." said Bakura drooling.
"Yep! A big juicy rare steak!"
Bakura squealed like a little kid. Everyone eles turned green.
"I'll go check on Yugi for you. Okay Yami?" said Tea.
"Sure. Thanks," said Yami. Then he turned to the remaining people in his house. "What are you guys going to do?"
"Joey, Tristan, and Duke are taking me and Mai to the mall for a shopping spree!" said Serenity happily.
All three boys groaned.
"I can't believe you talked us into going with you," said Joey.
"C'mon, it to make Rini here feel better after what had happened to her a few days ago," whispered Mai to him. "It's to help her forget for awhile."
"She won't for get you know," whispered Joey.
"I know. But shopping is a cure for everything!" exclaimed Mai.
Joey just sighed.
As this conversation was taking place, far away Mr. Zero was talking to the evil beings he hired.
"It seems that the evil was defeated by them. But that was no surprise. I didn't expect it to win. Now it is up to you Freddy since it seems you have already started on your onslaught with putting Yugi in a coma," said Mr. Zero.
"Yes. And now I'll finish off Yugi once and for all!" cackled Freddy as he went into Yugi's dream.
Yugi was resting in a field of flowers when he heard some come up to him. He opened his eyes to see Joey.
"C'mon Yug! It's time for the party!" he said grabbing Yugi's arm and pulling him to a house that appeared out of no where.
"A party? For what? And why are you holding my arm so tightly? You're hurting me!" said Yugi.
"It's your death day party, Yugi!" said Joey happily.
"My what? Let me go Joey! Now!" screamed Yugi.
"Why? The fun is just about to start, Little Yugi," said Joey, ignoring his friends pleas.
"Who are you! Joey would never do this! Tell me!" pleaded Yugi.
"You're right. I'm not your stupid friend," said the imposter as he turned to face Yugi. The imposter Joey's face changed into one with a lot of burns on it. "I'm Freddy Kruger and it's time for you to die little one!" He brought down his clawed hand onto Yugi.
Yugi let out a bloodcurdling scream….
In the real world
Tea had entered Yugi's room after arriving at the hospital. She grabbed a chair and sat down near his bed. She gazed at his sleeping form. Yugi face was contorted in pain and he was sweating.
"I wonder if his having a bad dream?" she said. Suddenly Yugi started to struggle in his sleep like he was fighting someone.
"What's going on?" she exclaimed as she watched her friend. Then, with out warning he let out a horrifying scream that chilled Tea to the bone. As he was screaming, four long and deep gashes appeared on his arm.
Tea ran to the door and screamed, "Dr. Please, come quick! Something is happening to Yugi!"
In the dream
Yugi twisted his arm out of Freddy's grip, but he wasn't quick enough. Freddy's claws tore through the flesh of Yugi's arm. Yugi let out an agonized scream. He ran as fast as he could to the house, blood pouring down his arm. Yugi wanted to pass out but he knew that if he did he would die. Yugi reached to door of the house and went inside. He looked back to see Freddy still standing in the same spot. Yugi closed the door. He let out a sigh a relief and turned around and saw Freddy standing right behind him.
"How did you get in here?" he asked. He didn't get an answer as his turn back around to open the door to see that the door had disappeared! He turned back around to face Freddy. He had a grin on his face.
"What a small body for a sixteen year-old. Almost like a child's body. I love children, don't you?" asked Freddy.
Yugi had started to whimper and pushed himself to the wall. He had never been so afraid. He was afraid to die.
"Awww. Is the little boy afraid?" mocked Freddy. He was amused at Yugi's apparent fear. He lifted his claws to Yugi's face started to stroke it. "It won't hurt…much." He slowly started to bring the claws down on Yugi's face. The claws broke the skin and the cuts started to bleed. Yugi started to cry.
Freddy laughed evilly at Yugi's tears. He snapped his fingers and Yugi found himself on the floor with Freddy standing over him.
"Let's see what makes you tick," said Freddy. He leaned down and started to cut up Yugi's shirt leaving long and bleeding cuts on his chest.
'Ugh! Why can't I move! I need to move or I'll die! What did he do to me!' thought Yugi.
In the real world
Dr. Please and the other doctors ran into Yugi's room after they heard Tea's scream.
"What's wrong Tea?" asked the young doctor. Tea pointed to Yugi and the doctors gasped.
"Sweet mother God…" said a woman doctor.
"What's happing to him? Tell me!" screamed Tea.
"I don't know! It's like someone or something is killing your friend in his sleep, but that's impossible!"
"Oh Yugi, please wake up or you'll die!" wailed Tea.
In the dream
Freddy had started to stab deeper into Yugi's gut. He was humming to himself.
'I'm getting dissected alive by some madman! What can I do to stop him?' thought Yugi franticly. Then he noticed that he was still wearing the Millennium Puzzle and it had a sharp point!
'Yes! That's it! If I could just move my arm…' Yugi slowly inched his arm to the puzzle and grabbed it. Then Yugi said to Freddy, "Hey freaky dude who likes messing with kids," Freddy looked to Yugi, "Eat this!" Yugi jabbed the pointed end of the puzzle into Freddy's eye.
"Argh! You brat!" he screamed as the light from the puzzle also injured him. Yugi took this opportunity to get up and stagger away.
"Where am I going to go?" he said. Then Yugi heard a familiar voice, "Yugi wake up!"
"Isn't that Tea's voice?" he wondered. He walked to it. He saw a door with a bright light under it. Yugi was about to open it when Freddy grabbed his leg.
"You aren't going anywhere!" he boomed.
"Ahhh! Let go!" screamed Yugi as he kicked at Freddy. Yugi got him square in the face causing Freddy to let go. Yugi ran to the door a yanked it open…
Yugi woke up with a scream in his hospital room; frightening all the doctors and Tea.
"Tea…" he said weakly, "thanks for waking me up."
Tea stared at him and then started sobbing, pulling Yugi into a hug.
"Ohhhh! Tea that hurts!"
"Oh! Sorry. I'm so glad that you're alive. What happened?"
Yugi face turned grim. "I met…the Boogieman."
To be cont.
