Author's Note- Hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! I was inspired to write this chapter of the story but I remembered that I have not been doing my disclaimers. So just to get that out of the way, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh in any way, shape, form or fashion. The only thing I own is the story and any OC's that I have came up with during the duration of this story.
"Why is this happening to me?"
Suddenly, Olivia's eyes widen and she frantically looks around to observe the room. Her heart is racing as she turns her head left and right to see that the dimly lit room that containing the tablet is exactly as she left it. Feeling an unfamiliar sharp pain between her legs, her body starts to shake; scared of what she might find.
"Come on livvie! You can do it! Come to daddy!" Tristan coos to his one-year-old daughter slowly crawling over to him. "Reni! She's gonna do it this time." Serenity looks over to the pair in the living room from the kitchen. "You've been saying that since you got back Tris" she screams over the sound of the tea kettle. Tristan turns his attention back to his daughter who is sitting down in the middle of the floor about to cry. "No! No! No!" Tristan coos, crawling on his knees to reach is daughter. "Don't cry little one, you're a Taylor and Taylor's can do anything! Remember that!" Olivia claps her little hands and smiles while her father holds her up the sky and laughs and plays with her.
"I'm sorry daddy." Olivia whispers to herself as she uses her newfound strength to lift her body in an upright position. Taking a deep breath, she looks down and sees that she has no cuts, bruises or blood coming from her.
"Help me!"
A raspy voice screams from above her, "I know you can hear me! You are the first person to come back here! Look at me!" Not having the energy to move, Olivia just stares at the cold tiled ground below her. Her brown hair is now coving her face while her hand beings to throb, "why is this happening to me?" she says just above a whisper.
"I know you must be scared…"
"Don't tell me how to feel." Olivia whispers, not sure if she verbally said it or if her thoughts are running away from her. "I am sorry Olivia, really I am truly sorry that this happened to you. But I need your help and you are the only one that can. If you could just take one look at me, you will understand." The voice says, moving a little closer to the broken child before her.
"Please just look at me".
"What would my father do? What should I do? I want to go home but what is home, but what is home?" Olivia ponders to herself as more tears make their way down her face, "I can't believe this is happening to me".
"I could not believe that that happened to me either. I remember being kidnapped by those men. The feeling of having strangers having putting their hands on me, having him inside of me. Having relations like that is beyond shameful as I was saving myself for my potential husband."
Curious, Olivia slightly turns her head towards the direction of the voice on the right side of her. "I have never experienced anything like this before, having you abaya ripped off of you while being pinned down knowing that there is nothing that you can do to stop it". Squinting her eyes, Olivia hugs her arms and starts to rock her body back and forth. Remembering the feeling of the man with the tattoo touching her body, her legs begin to tremble.
"My death was the hardest part of the experience. I had already had my dignity, my honor taken away from me. But I was not ready to die and I has to die all by myself for some reason that I cannot understand. I thought that I would be reunited with my mother but I cannot find her." Rising from the floor, the shadow slowly walks toward the broken stone tablet that is illuminated by the four spotlights on the ceiling. "I remember walking towards the light but a man was blocking my path."
"Was it Shadi?"
Olivia questions, looking up at the black shadowy figure in front of the tablet that has now caused her so much pain. Crinkling her eyes and nose, a smile creeps its way across the figures' face, "No it was not Shadi but someone else. He said that he could take me to my mother but the next thing I know I am trapped within the tablet while the man that lead me there just walked away from me." Shaking her head, Olivia takes a deep breath and stands to her feet and takes a step towards the figure, suddenly feeling a magnetic like pull to her. "So here I have stayed for the past three-thousand years, seeing nothing but dirt and gravel just waiting for a chance to be with my mother again. Then Shadi came along and temporary freed me from the tablet and told me that he could help me find my mother". The figure takes a deep breath when thinking of her mother again, "of course I did not trust him as the last man I trusted trapped me here in the first place" the figure looks back at her for just a moment, startling Olivia.
"But he told me that whoever passed the test would be the chosen one that could help me to return with my mother and save the world. But to be honest I do not care about that, the worst has already happened to me and I just want nothing more than to be with my mother." The figure finishes, turning her body towards Olivia; revealing her true form. Olivia gasps at the sight before her as the figure is revealed to be a young woman around her age, 16. Her long, chestnut brown hair fell down her back but was disheveled while her blonde bangs laid perfectly on her face. The young woman's heart shaped face was covered with a mix of dirt and blood but her purple eyes were shining through the overall darkness that was surrounding the two of them. She was wearing a dark purple abaya with a gold, flowery design that was once beautiful as well. The front of the abaya was badly torn in the front and the back revealing the young woman's body. Respectfully Olivia looks away but notes, "You look exactly like Anya".
"Anya?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud" Olivia says holding her hands up, "I was just saying that you look like somebody that I know. Anya Moto. She is Yugi and Tea Moto's daughter and one of the heirs to "Fate Industries" their gaming company. "So that's why I am confused, you should have tested them. They are the ones that have the legacy while my family was just there on the sidelines. I mean my father saved them multiple times but this feels like an adventure for them, not me". Shrugging her shoulders, she shakes her head and responds, "You are the one that passed the test so I need you to help me. You have a mother; I am sure that you would want to find her." Olivia's hand turns into a fist when she remembers everything that she discovered about her mother today, "she is the reason why my family is falling apart right now".
Sensing the anger that has risen in Olivia, she changes the subject. "I understand that this day has been crazy for you. But I since that there is something special about you and I think that you can help me. At the very least, this could be a distraction for you and your family problems." The female states, taking a step toward Olivia, "Please".
"Ok, ok. I'll help you but again this is Skyler, Anya and Atem's field" Olivia says nodding her head in surrender. "According to the stories that I was told by my family throughout the years, having your name would be key to solving the mystery." Smiling, the female extends her hand to Olivia which she reluctantly takes; leading her to the tablet. "Can you read it?" Nodding, she reads the symbols on the broken tablet. "Naijya. That's a beautiful name but that was the only idea for solving this" Olivia says, shifting her body to face Naijya.
She then sees her hang her head down as if all the light has just be removed from her life. "But I'm sure that we will think of something."
