I'm back for Day 7! We have a confusing amount of days left as my calendar on the laptop is jacked up. Other than that I hope you like this one too. Oh well on with the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh I only own my OC and the Eternal Family. With that said I'll see you at the end!
there's something strange in the air recently between me and Celia's suitor. Could it be that he is crushing on me? But he loves Celia….. doesn't he? I shouldn't be wondering this but, why is it that father really hates me? What did I do? Mother tell me what did I do wrong to make him hate me?
Ryou awoke when the sound of boiling water shrieked through out the cabin. Sitting up Ryou looked to his side and found that Malik was gone, looking out the window Ryou noticed that there were two other cars out side. What was going on? Ryou tried to stand but found that his legs buckled and that he felt light headed. Was he sick? He couldn't be sick? He had to restore the manor! He didn't have time to be sick! Ryou started trying harder to stand and walk to the stairs but he found that he couldn't. Yugi came up the steps and peaked into the room to find that Ryou was sitting up in bed and looking out the window. "So your finally up." Yugi said as Ryou jumped and locked eyes with Yugi.
"Am I sick?" Ryou asked as Yugi crossed the room and set down a tray that had a cup of steaming tea onto the night stand. "Of course you are, after you were in that lake I wouldn't be surprised if you were." Yugi said as he took a seat in the chair nearby.
Ryou stared out the window again as an awkward silence filled the room quickly. "What exactly happened?" Ryou asked as Yugi looked up from twiddling his thumbs. "You don't remember?" Yugi asked as Ryou shook his head, "Well when Malik dragged you out of that lake he called me and I was with Joey and Tristan at the time. The three of us came over as quick as we could and helped Malik with you. You've been out for the entire night and since you didn't wake up the others went ahead and started working on the manor. Now I have to get back to work Ryou, try and get some sleep." Yugi said as he walked back down the stairs. Ryou sat back and flinched as his exposed arm slid against a thin papery edge, tucked into the corner of his pillow. Half turning in bed Ryou pulled out the edge of a folded note, the hand writing indicated that Winter had left it. Again the words were written in blood but, he was used to it by now.
Unfolding the note Ryou read silently to himself,
Things that must be done for us to pass on.
1. Restore the manor.
and repair my treasure.
3. Write the true events of the Manor. (Surely my diary holds information to tell you where 2&3 shall be found and done.)
4. Replace the treasure in the lake cabin.
Lastly as a final wish, Ryou, I want you to burn my diary and forget about me completely. You have a life to live, use your time wisely. I never used mine wisely and look at me, a shadow of my own self. ~Winter
Ryou re-read and re-read over and over again until the words were burned into his mind. "The treasure." Ryou muttered to himself as he looked around him, there, the object from the lake. It sat on the nightstand hidden by the lamp. All he needed to do was repair it then read Winter's diary. Pulling the object towards him Ryou examined it closer, it was made of what looked like pure silver explaining the weight. The cover and the sides of the small rectangular object had carvings on the surface, holding the lid closed was a simple iron latch that moved easily even though it was under water for almost one hundred years. Opening the lid proved easy for Ryou as his eyes widened in interest. The inside on the bottom of the lid was an old photo taped to the lid that was surprisingly in good shape despite being in water, on closer examination Ryou found that the box had been water tight. Inside the box was a locket and a music box system. It seemed this was a music box that belonged to Winter before she… Ryou didn't want to think about that. Taking the locket out along with the photo, Ryou slowly preyed the crystal like lid of of the music box and looked at it closely. Nothing was in dire need of repair but some areas weren't going to move as far as he could tell.
Sighing, Ryou set the music box down and pulled out a tool box he'd usually used for carving little wooden dolls and opened it. Taking out tools that he needed Ryou slowly and carefully repaired the music box until it was almost perfect as there were some areas he thought that needed to be that way. All that time he didn't notice the sun passing over head or the pair of icy blue eyes watching him from the corner of the room. Quickly however the music box was done and Ryou set it aside after replacing the crystal like cover that he found was made of a diamond like material along with the locket and picture. He pulled out a pen and crossed out two things on the list, Restore the manor and find and repair my treasure. Once the two things were crossed out a soft wind blew across the room as Winter appeared in the center. With out even looking at Ryou she simply stated with multiple voices Two of the five tasks given have been completed only three remain. She looked at Ryou briefly before fading into the background. At that time the sun had dipped below the horizon and Ryou felt the urge to sleep as the others came back from restoring the manor stating that it had been completed. His eyes closed trained on the music box.
Well that's the end of this chapter. Sorry if its late I was gone and couldn't write for a while but this chapter will be up and I'll see you tomorrow! Bye! R&R
