Chapter Eleven

As Joey ran to the Ishtar's he prayed that his sister would be alright but deep down inside he knew that it would take a miracle for her to be still the person she was before Marik kidnapped her. He ran as if his life depended on it and he stumbled a couple of times but he just got up and ran till he finally reached the Ishtar residence. As he opened the gate get to the door it opened and there stood Ishizu and from the look on her face his worse fears had come true.

As Ishizu started to say something to Joey he stopped her as he tried to barge his way inside of her home and she stood there and slapped him across the face and told him "Joseph you need to stop and listen to me."

Joey stood there as he touched the side of his face where she had slapped him and he started to cry "Please just let me see my sister, I have to see her."

Ishizu took him into her arms as he cried and she softly said "Joseph your sister is not who she use to be. Marik has almost destroyed her poor mind and Shadi doesn't know if she can ever be saved." Joey looked at her and he nodded that he understood what she was saying but then he said through his tears "You have to remember that Serenity and I are all we have in this world and if I don't at least try to reach her then it is like I never really loved her and Ishizu she is the world to me and I know what if that were me in there she'd do the same thing and that is try to reach me so please let me see my sister."

Ishizu opened the door and she took Joey to where his sister lay on the bed so still that you'd think that she was dead. As Joey walked over to her he touched the side of her head where there was a huge bruise and he then leaned down and kissed the spot and then he asked Shadi and Ishizu if they'd pray with him and they said that they would. Then Joey began the one prayer that he remembered their mother pray and he began saying:

23rd Psalms

The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake,

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen.

As Joey was reciting the prayer, Shadi felt something happen and it made him gasp as he felt this love that Joseph had for his sister was flowing from him straight into her battered body and it was causing it to start to heal. He wondered at the feeling that his young man was showing his sister and it warmed his heart and made him believe in miracles again.

Ishizu felt the same feelings that Shadi was and as she looked at the man she had come to love their eyes met and then all of a sudden Serenity's hand moved and she touched the hand of the one person who believed enough to make this miracle happen and that was her brother Joseph.

Joey opened his eyes as tears ran down his face and he smiled as he saw his sister try to open her eyes and then he bowed his head and he said "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for hearing my prayer and for bringing back to me my sister. Please give her the strength that she'll need to deal with what has been done to her and send her your love and help me to be here for her no matter how much it may hurt to deal with what has been done to her by that monster. I ask this in his names sake. Amen."

Serenity the softly said "Joey is that you?"

Ishizu and Shadi stared at her and then they both gave their thanks to Ra and God for hearing this young mans plea to bring his sister back to him and then they asked to give her strength to be able to deal with what will come next as she begins to deal with the horror that Marik caused her.

When Joey heard his sister call his name he smiled at her and said "Yes sis it's me and I love you so very much and we'll get through this together."

Joey looked at Ishizu and she went to him and he whispered "Please will you both help me help her to deal with what that bastard has done to her? I don't know if I can do it alone."

Shadi had heard what he had said to Ishizu and he reassured Joey that they would both help him help his sister but he also told him "Don't fool yourself that she will be one hundred percent better because her poor brain has been so damaged that no one knows what will happen when she starts to remember what was done to her. Just be prepared for the worse and pray for the best."

As Joey was listening to what Shadi was telling him, Ryou was hoping that when he hit Bakura that it didn't make him mad enough to kill him and Yami. Well Ryou had nothing to worry about because it did the opposite it caused Bakura to burst out laughing and then he said "It took that to get my head out of my ass and remember who the hell the Master here is and who isn't. So Bakura stood up with Yami's help and he turned and shouted "Diabound get the hell back here and I hope that I never have to see your ugly face again!"

Then there was a huge flash of bright light and when it was over, Diabound had rejoined inside of Bakura and then Ryou said "We have to go try to help Joey reach his sister and to let the others know that it's safe to come out again."
