Chapter 7: Let the games begin
Jane rushed towards Ryou's room. That ear shattering scream she heard made Jane shiver at the sound of it. She wiped the door open shouting "RYOU!" she sweat dropped at what she saw. Ryou was there, in his bed, sleeping like a baby. He hugged his covers and was curled in a little ball. Aw, how cute! I really hope I didn't just wake him up, Jane thought. She slowly closed the door. Maybe, it didn't come from Ryou's room. Maybe it came from next to his room. Jane grabbed a bobby pin from her hair and bend it to pick pocket the lock on the door. She slowly and carefully opened it.
Inside the room was Mia Valentine. She was sitting on a chair watching her TV. Mia turned to Jane and said, "Oh good a maid finally came. Listen, can you get me a large soda? Any flavor." Jane stared at herself. She did not look like a maid! She wore a purple shirt with black skirt and striped tights to match. Her hair was up in a pony tail. How did she look like a maid? "Mia, I'm not a maid. I heard screaming and-" the scream came again. It was so high pitched this time that Jane felt her spine tingle. "Oh that's just this movie I'm watching. Once again, this chick almost gets killed by her boyfriend who is secretly the devil. Gosh, if you knew that the guy was on trial for murder, why date him?" Mia said casually. Jane stared blankly at the screen.
Something bothered her about this movie. The girl in there, looked like her. As the girl ran, the scene started to change. Before her eyes, Jane watched as the movie turned from a forest to duelist kingdom. The girl was running through duelist kingdom, an evil cackle followed behind her. Being a typical movie, she tripped and fell. Turning back, she saw a figure holding a knife. And if Jane saw this correctly, it was Ryou.
Jane stepped back in terror as the movie went back to its real self. Was Jane hallucinating? Yes. Yes she was. Jane waved goodbye and ran out of Mia's room. As she got back to hers, she slammed the door. Jane breathed heavily. What was that she just saw? This has never happened before. She bit her lip and sat on her bed. Ryou would never do that. Ever. She thought, if only I could prove that.
Ryou's POV
I woke up to Silver, Joey, and Tristan shouting, "WAKE UP RYOU!" I jumped at the sound of their harmonized voices. "What? What time is it?" I mumbled. "BREAKFAST TIME!" said them all with cheery grins on their faces. "Good night." I said and covered my head with my blankets. I heard them skip out while saying, "La La lalalala! Breakfast time!" I sighed. I was half way to going to sleep when I was gently shook. I lifted my head to see Jane on top of me with a confused look on her face. "Are you up?" she asked. I nodded. This was an awkward thing to wake up to.
"Ok. We're docked. And sorry about the hungry bunch." she said and turned to the faint sound of la's. "Hm…What time is it?" I said, rubbing my eyes. "6:00 am." she said pointing at the clock on my nightstand. "Oh. Should have looked there." I said and blushed slightly. "You fell asleep at six yesterday. Your probably hungry." she said and jumped off me. "Uh huh. I'm coming." I mumbled. "Five more minutes…" she slapped me. "WAKE UP! WE'RE HERE!" She said and put her hands on her hips. I sat up automatically. "Fine. I'm going." I said groggily. I stumbled to the door. She followed behind.
The dining room was huge. The tables were humongous. All were almost filled. Except two seats next to Yugi and Silver. Both waved. I managed a smile. As Jane and I sat down, we were greeted by so many people. Next to Yugi was his brother Yami,and his friends Joey. Next to me was Jane, Silver, Tristan and Tea. I nodded at most of their thoughts. Jane kept quiet. Usually, she is the one we have to duck tape. But I guess she was just nervous. "Hey Jane," said Joey. "What's up with you? You are usually jumpin' down our throats about how excited you are." Everyone agreed. She sighed. "It's nothing. I am excited. Like REALLY excited. But," she looked over at me with a mournful look. "What if something goes wrong?"
I have to admit, I am kinda scared about that. What if one of us gets kicked off the island? Ugh, this burdens me so. "Attention Duelist," We heard a tall man with really big hair say. "Please leave the boat for a special announcement" Everyone rushed off the boat. Me, being the most slowest person ever, lost all of my friends in the crowd. As I got off, I noticed this person in a hood with a shirt that read "Hello! My name is awesome" at the front of it. The hoodie he wore over top of the shirt was pure black with a skull on the hood. I was right next to him. "Hello. I like your shirt!" I said. What? Am, I not allowed to be happy? "Meh." said the boy until he pushed his way past the crowd. But something about that voice bugged me. It just sounded so familiar…
