I'm sorry about the long wait, but the fifth chapter of Night of Horrors is now underway! It appears that Kairi has been kidnapped by the Phantom of the Opera, who seemed to be a threat to Yugi and his friends. Who will be next for the Phantom's chorus, and for his killings? Read on, and find out!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and my OC. Thank you.
Yugi reread the note over and over, his indigo eyes welling up with tears. He finally knew that Kairi had been kidnapped. Kaiba had been busy searching the mansion for this mysterious Phantom and for Kairi, but so far wasn't having any luck. The guests huddled together in separate corners, whimpering and shivering with fright. Their eyes cast nervous glances at Yugi, the Pharaoh, Bakura, and the others who stood in the center of the room, ever still searching for this mysterious being that called himself the "Phantom of the Opera".
-In one of the restrooms-
Mai Valentine was freshening up herself at the mirror, splashing cold water onto her face. When she looked up at her reflection again, she noticed the Phantom standing near it, holding out his hand. When she turned around, no one was there. She looked back at the mirror, and saw the Phantom holding an axe in his left hand. He lifted it over his shoulder, and the entire room was filled with Mai's painful screams of terror and fear.
-At the ballroom-
The scream rang out like a bell, startling the guests, who whimpered even more, some of them sobbing into each other's shoulders. Yugi looked over to where the scream came from, and raced down the hallway, the others following him. When they reached the restroom, a gruesome sight met their eyes. Mai's entire body was cut up, her limbs spelling out the word "Killer", her head making up the dot for the i. On the peach colored walls, a message was written out in her blood by the same childish hand that had written the note before.
/Fondest greetings to you all once again,
It has seemed that the tides have changed in your search for your friend. Soon, nothing will be left of your little soiree, monsieurs and mademoiselles. I shall soon have you all in the palm of my hands, as well as a few of you part of my chorus.
You're next, King of Games, on my little killing spree.
Your humble and obedient servant,
O.G./
All eyes turned towards the Pharaoh, who shrunk back in fear at the message. Yugi clung to his friend's arm tightly, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Guess we'll have to find Kairi sooner than we thought, guys," Joey murmured softly. "I don't think we'll be able to find the Phantom, though." Brian shook his head lightly.
"No, we'll find him, Joey," he whispered, eyes still looking down at the scattered Mai Valentine on the tile floor.
What will happen as the Pharaoh is the next target for the Phantom's killing spree? Find out in chapter six, Phantom Hoax.
