Chapter 7- Talking it Over
Zane's eyes widened. "When were you notified?" he asked, hearing Syrus gasp of fear inside his mind.
"I wasn't," Banner replied. "The bats outside my window told me."
Zane sweatdropped. "Alright. Thank you. I'll figure out what to do from here."
Banner nodded. "Good luck, Zane."
Zane nodded and closed the door behind the Professor. He sat down on the bed, sighing and looked out the window. He blinked.
A bat? he thought as he walked over to it. A note lay beside it, and eerily enough this reminded him a lot of Harry Potter when the Owls would deliver mail. He picked it up. It read:
"Hello Zane.
If you wish to get what you desire, which I assume is your little brother, come to my castle with your Jaden friend. If you can find it within twenty-four hours and win a duel against me, he is yours for the taking. If I win, his soul, yours, and Jaden's will be trapped in the Shadow Realm for eternity!
Camilla
P.S. The bats should help you find my castle."
Zane growled when he read the note. /Big brother?/ a tiny voice asked in his head and Zane's expression softened when he looked over at the doll on the window sill. "Yeah?"
/Camilla?/ he asked.
"Mm-hmm," Zane replied, nodding.
/What are you going to do?/ Syrus asked.
/The only logical thing to get you back,/ Zane replied. /Team up with Jaden./
/Zane... you really do care, don't you?/ Syrus smiled.
/More than you know, Sy. More than you know./
"What? So she's back now?" a very annoyed Chazz Princeton asked that same night.
"Yes, and she asked me to bring Jaden along for when we duel," Zane replied.
"So why did you wake me up?" Chazz snapped, but Zane merely smirked.
"You're coming along for the ride."
"What?!" Chazz exclaimed.
"It could be an excellent chance for you and Jaden to ... you know," Zane said, poking him in the ribs playfully.
Chazz blushed. "Then why is he here?" he snapped, pointing to Bastion, who merely waved.
"I'm here to help Jaden and Zane figure out a way to beat Camilla," he said simply.
"I'm here because you guys are my friends and if you're going then I am too," Alexis said, who was sitting beside Bastion on his left of the couch in Chazz's dorm. Jaden had yet to arrive.
"Where is Slifer slacker anyway?" Chazz pointed out, realizing he wasn't there.
"Probably ... stuffing his face with food," Alexis joked, checking the clock which read 6 pm.
Chazz merely scoffed. "Disgus-"
"Hey guys!" Jaden exclaimed as he entered the dorm and sat on a chair nearest to Chazz, which caused the Obelisk Blue to blush madly. Alexis and Zane were the only ones who noticed this though.
The doll of Syrus stood on the window sill all the while, watching his friends. /I know you'll beat Camilla,/ he thought to Jaden, Chazz and Zane, who all grinned.
