The Lone Crow
Chapter 2: A letter and a black feather
It was the morning after Yusei had found Crow's letter.
Everyone was gathered in the garage.
They all looked slightly shaken after having read the letter.
"I... Don't believe it" said Akiza.
Leo and Luna were sitting next to her, Luna was crying while Leo looked speechless.
"Crow just... Left" Luna sobbed.
"Why would he do such a thing?" said Akiza.
"He wouldn't... Not the Crow we know anyway" said Jack.
"What do you mean?" asked Leo.
"I think there may be more to this than we already know" said Yusei.
Crow stirred and shifted uncomfortably, he had slept on the floor next to his Duel Runner last night and was now regretting it.
Crow forced himself to get up.
He looked around and discovered he was on one of the bridges surrounding the sea, he wondered for a minute how he had got there but reassured himself that it was too dark to have seen where he was last night.
I guess I should get going he thought.
Crow climbed on to his Duel Runner and sped off.
From the top of a building, a mysterious hooded figure watched Crow speed off on his Duel Runner.
"Good, everything is going exactly to plan" they muttered.
"What do you mean Yusei?" asked Akiza.
"It's like Jack said, the Crow we know wouldn't do something like this" Yusei explained.
"But what if he's changed and isn't the person we knew" said Akiza.
"Even if that's the case, as Crow's friends we have to believe in him" said Jack.
"So then what should we do?" asked Leo.
"I think we should find him and see what's going on" said Yusei.
Crow was sitting on a bench on the other side of Neo Domino City, looking at the sea.
I want to go back and apologize but there's something stopping me.
Crow sighed, took his Deck out of his pocket and searched it until he found the card he was looking for; D.D Crow.
The first card he had ever found, this was one of Crow's favourite cards.
Whenever he was troubled or could not make a decision, Crow would look at this card and make up his mind.
"You look troubled" a voice said from behind him.
A cloaked figure walked up to Crow. They had a soft voice so Crow presumed that they were a girl.
Crow looked at her, but he could not see what she looked like because she was wearing a mask that covered the top half of her face.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine" Crow replied.
She looked at his eyes and read them as if they were an open book.
"You say your fine but I can see you are worried about something" she said.
Crow looked at her with a confused expression.
"If you like I can send you to a place, where you will never have to worry about anything" she said.
"No I'm okay; I've made up my-"Crow started.
"I insist" she said.
She grabbed hold of his wrist.
Crow tried to struggle but he found that he could do nothing but stare at her.
The hooded woman held a hand up to her face and took her mask off.
The last thing Crow saw was a pair of blood red eyes.
"Time to deliver the letter" she said.
Crow's eyes were blank and emotionless.
The woman took the card out of his hand and put it into her pocket.
A few hours had passed since everyone started looking for Crow.
They were all now gathered in the garage with disappointed looks on their faces.
"Are we all sure that we checked everywhere?" asked Yusei.
"We went everywhere Yusei but we couldn't find him" said Luna.
"He could have already left the city by now" said Akiza.
"No he hasn't or Trudge would have told us about it" said Jack.
"So is Sector Security is looking for Crow as well?" asked Leo.
"No but anyone who knows us knows that Crow is only ever by himself when he's working or running an errand" said Yusei.
"So what do you think is going on Yusei?" asked Akiza.
"I'm not sure but something is going on I just know it" said Yusei.
Suddenly an envelope flew through the main door to garage and nearly hit Jack on the head.
"What the hell?" said Jack.
Yusei opened the envelope and inside was a letter and a black feather.
"What's inside Yusei" asked Luna.
Yusei stared at the black feather.
"It's a letter and a black feather" he said.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter and sorry it was short the next chapter should be a bit longer but I won't be able to update so soon because I'm going on holiday.
