Chapter one.

Curse of the old mantion.

Domino City High School.

Yugi Motou and his two friends, Tristan Taylor and Tea Gardner, were in class. Talking as they usually did before the teachers arrived and class started.

"So, did you guys hear the news this morning?" Tristan asked, his hands in his pockets.

"No, why?" Yugi asked concernly.

"There was this accient downtown, a car was found and it was completely empty."

"Tristan, are you sure it was the news?" Tea asked.

"I'm not finished telling it, the kids that owned the car were said to have crashed near the old mantion, none of them were said to had hurt but they were never seen again."

A shock of fear went up Tea's spine. "Auh, gives me the creeps."

Yugi shook his head with a grin. "Ah, I'm sure they're fine, Tea. They probably just went for help and got lost."

"I don't know, man."

Just then Joey Wheeler walked into class and over to Yugi, Tristan and Tea. He sat at his desk which was next to Yugi's.

"Mornin," he greeted. "what'd I miss?"

"Tristan was just telling us about what he saw on the news." Yugi answered.

Joey jumped up off his seat, his hand in a fist which he was waving at Tristan. "Hey, I was suppose to tell em'!"

"About the accient on the news?"

He nodded. "Yeah! They say the Vampire Mistress took the kids who got in the accient!"

Tea crossed her arms. "That's as believeable as Tristan actually watching the news, Joey."

"It's true I tell you!"

"Joey, that's kinda a scary story for little kids." Yugi stated.

He growled angrily and sat at his desk again, his arms crossed. "I know I'm right, and ta day you and I, my friend, are gonna go to da old mantion."

"WHAT?!" Yugi shouted, falling out of his seat and onto the floor. "I'm going anywhere near that place! It's cursed!"

"I thought you said it was a scary story for little kids, Yuge."

"He has a point." Tristan agreed with Joey, which pissed Tea off. She hit his shoulder and he yelped in pain and rubbed his black and blue arm.

"Tristan! Shut up!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Yugi sat back at his desk and fearfully hid his face from his friends view. She said nothing, he pretending to be looking at something else.

"Well? What do ya say, Yuge? Prove to us that you're not afraid of a fake legend."

"I'm not afraid!" He snapped then hid again.

Joey crossed his arms and grinned a little. "Well then Yuge, prove it."

"Joey! Yugi doesn't have to prove anything, if he says he's not afraid, then he isn't afraid!" Tea shouted. Joey shrugged. "I'am tryin' to make him prove it. So Yuge? Ya gonna go with me to the old mantion tonight?"

Yugi stared at nothing away from friends, if that was possible. He finally gave up and sighed. "Fine, I'll go."

Joey jumped joyfully. "Perfect, we'll prove dhat the Vampire Mistress is real."

Tristan rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and maybe if she is, she'll take you back to the mothership."

Tea laughed a little. "I totally agree."

While the three argued, Yugi was thinking everything threw. Maybe I shouldn't go, but I did say it was a story for little kids. Yeah.....no, truth is I am a little scared. I have to man up, I'll go to the old mantion with Joey and prove that that stupid legend isn't true and doesn't scare me. He nodded to himself.

"So when do we go to the mantion, Joey?"

The three stopped argueing and just stared at Yugi, stunned.

"You're....You're really going, Yugi?" Tea asked.

He nodded.

Joey smiled. "Perfect! Aw, dhis is gonna be awesome! We leave tonight, that's when da Vampire Mistress is said to awake!"

Yugi nodded.

Later that night.

Yugi had told his gandfather he was going out with Tea and would be back around twelve that night. Which his grandfather believed.

He was suppose to meet Joey near his house because Joey had moved downtown last summer.

He took two cabs and a bus to get to Joey's house, but he was still focused on going to the mantion. Now he was more scared then ever. Okay, this was a bad idea. I know that now. Maybe I should turn abck now before Joey sees me. That would've worked if Joey hadn't seen him and ran over.

"Hey, Yuge."

He turned to Joey with a smile. "Hey, Joey."

"Ready to go to da old mantion?"

He hasitated before nodding. "Yeah, lets hurry up and get it over with."

"You're not scard are ya Yuge?"

"Nope, I just..... wanna hurry and prove the Vampire is real."

Joey nodded, fillled with joy. "I know, right?! Come on lets go!" Joey led the way and Yugi followed.

The mantion was old and covered in veins with crimson roses, the air seemed still and very cold. The sky around the large mantion was a dark grey, but only inside the gate. Outside was a beautiful star lit sky.

"So, this is the old mantion?"

"Yep, isn't it awesome?"

"I guess.... Kinda creepy though."

"That's what makes it awesome, Yuge." He walked up to the dark gate and noticed it wasn't locked. "Ah, dhis is too perfect. Come on Yuge!" He walked inside the gate and waited for Yugi, who was walking very slowly to the gate.

"Come on, Yuge, we don't have all night."

Yugi finally went threw the gate and they both only looked at the mantion.

Yugi had a weird feeling, as if he'd seen this place before. Only, without the mantion.

"You okay, Yuge?"

He looked up at Joey and nodded. "I'm fine. Lets hurry up."

They walked to the large wooden door, both a little afraid to open it. "You open it, Yuge."

"Me? No way, you open it!"

"Al-al-alright." Joey slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Wow," Yugi said once he saw the inside. It was huge, and looked to have been a Tomb of some sort. There were carvings on the walls that looked like stories of acient Egypt.

Suddenly, Yugi wasn't afraid anymore. This place held a comforting and safe feeling.

"Uh, m-m-maybe we s-s-should g-g-go." Joey stuttered, fear in his voice.

"What happened to not being afraid?"

"Uh, I was joken. C'mon, can't ya take a little joke?" He laughed a little.

Yugi crossed his arms. "Well, I'm not afraid anymore. Come on, lets explore this thing." Yugi walked passed Joey, looking at the carvings on the walls.

Joey watched as Yugi got futher and futher away, until he could almost barely see him. He ran after him. "Hey, wait up!"

After twenty minutes of going around the Mantion-like-Tomb, Yugi and Joey noticed something glowing a bright white from the top of the second story stair case. "Hey, Yugi." Joey stared wide eyed at the glowing figure.

"Yeah, Joey?" Yugi turned to his best friend.

Joey pointed at the glowing figure and Yugi looked to were he was pointing. "Is that a g-ghost, or somethin' else?"

"Don't be afraid, Joey. Something's telling me it's alright." Yugi assured him. And it was true, something about the glowing figure didn't frighten him.....not at all.

In fact, Yugi felt so safe at that moment, that he decided to go see who it was.

"Yugi, have you totally lost it?!"

"No, Joey. I just wanna know who this is." He walked up the stairs until he reached the glowing figure.

When Yugi saw the figure, he hadn't realized how tall it was. It was twice his size, but he couldn't see its face, for it had its back to him. "Who are you?"

The glowing figure turned to him. He gasped, it was a woman.

She wore a long Egyptian dress and no shoes, for she was floating in mid air. She had long white hair like a cloud, blue eyes like the nile and fair skin. "You boy," she spoke softly. "I know you from somewhere... What is your name?"

Yugi was a bit shocked and a bit afraid. "Y-Yugi, my name's Yugi."

"Ah, Yugi."

"Hey, Yuge," Joey could be heard walking up the stairs. "Are ya talkin to yourself, bud? Or am I hearin' voices?" He reached Yugi and the still glowing figure. He felt fear raise in him. "AH! WHAT THE F*CK! GHOSTS AREN"T REAL!!!!" He ran down the stairs as quick as he could, while muttering to himself. "I do believe in Ghosts, I do believe in Ghosts!"

"Wait, Joey!" Yugi called, but it was too late, Joey was out the door.

He sighed, then looked up as the figure spoke softly again. "Yugi, your friend is quit afraid of me. Unlike you, he sees something scary in me. My name is Sahara."

"Sahara." He repeated. "Why does that seem so familiar to me?" He asked himself then tried to think where he'd heard it before.

The figure, Sahara, smiled at him and chuckled a bit. "In time, you'll know the answer. Come with me,"

"But I have to go home, my gandfather will get worried if I'm gone to long."

"You may leave after I show you something, it will not take long."

He sighed again. "I guess, fine."

He followed Sahara to a secret room, far from the main room. Unlike the rest of the mantion, this room actually look like someone lived there. There was dark wood floaring, the walls were a creamy yellow with small grey follows along them. And a figure lay in the large, crimson and gold colored bed.

"This is what I wanted you to see, Yugi." She led him to the bed. "Look," she pointed at the sleeping figure.

Yugi saw that a girl lay asleep, and she looked just like Sahara. "Why does she look like you, Sahara?"

She chuckled evilly. "Because, Yugi.....She is me!" Wind came into the room quickly.

Yugi was now very afraid and filled with regret. "What's going on? What are you?!"

He heard her chuckle again before speaking. "Aw, that hurt, Atem."

"What?!"

She looked up at him, her eyes now a crimson red. "I am the spirit of a 5000 year old girl, whom was cursed to stay here forever until the day the one who betrayed her spoke her name. Now, Yugi, you've spoken my name! And I've awoken!" She disappeared and the figure in the bed rose.

She no longer glowed.

Yugi backed up in fear.

She chuckled evily and stood from the bed, she wore the Egyptian Dress she wore 5000 years ago. "Now, Atem. I can get my revenge on you for locking me away so long ago because of a lie. You shall now feel the pain you caused me!"

He ran out of the room, he was going to escapt. "No, stay away from me!"

Her evil chuckle could be heard threw out the Tomb. "Sorry, Atem, but I can't do that. When I begged your forgiveness, you never even spoke to me! You told me I could never leave, so now you can never leave!"

"For one; My name isn't Atem! It's Yugi!"

"Liar!!!!!!" She appeared behind Yugi, he turned and screamed.

"Leave me alone!"

"There is one thing I'll do, which you never did! I will never leave you!"

Yugi ran, he didn't care where. He just ran. I have to leave, I have to escape! But how?

End of chapter one.
