Me: Okay, this one is slightly longer then the last one. Hehe, I am really mean. I don't own Yugioh, just E, Mistress/Tenionia, and minor characters. The italics are dream state. Happy reading!
Elecktra woke up to find herself in her ba form. Her first thought was what the hell? Needless to say, she was not impressed. She didn't particularly like being turned into a bird with a human head. She cried out when the Duat currents pulled her deeper into the darkness. To slow the fall, she outstretched her wings.
"You can't escape this time, Princess."
'Princess?' Elecktra wondered. The darkness receded to show a man and a woman dueling with magic. Elecktra instantly recognized the woman as Mistress, though the man she didn't know. His skin was lightly sun kissed and his hair was dark brown. He was clad in fine robes that showed that he stood in a high place.
"Just watch me escape, Amon!" Tenionia sharply retorted as she called out a command. The winds of the Duat pulled Elecktra away and the magician cried out as she tried to fly but it was in vain. Next thing she knew, she was in an abandoned warehouse in a darker corner of Domino. Elecktra blinked.
'What the hell?' She was pulled inside to find a man leaning against the wall, looking out over the city.
"My lord," Elecktra looked to see a shadow demon with the body of a weathered old man and the head of a cork screw limping forward.
"I am pleased to inform you that the preparations for the ritual are almost complete." Elecktra had to crinkle her nose at the noise the demon's limbs made. It was like metal gritting together and nails on a chalkboard mixed. The man turned grunted.
"So let me get this straight, You have the millennium spell book?" Elecktra's eyes widened at the man's voice. It was the same voice that told her to sleep.
"Yes."
"And you have the items?" The demon shifted uncomfortably.
"W-Well no."
"And do you have the magician? Blood from her host is needed."
"No." The gaze of the man darkened. He silently stood and blasted the demon back with dark magic.
"Idiot demon, how can the ritual be almost ready if you don't have two of the vital ingredients!?" The demon trembled in terror and Elecktra felt kinda bad for the demon. She knew that even though demons weren't people, they still had feelings. The man looked like he was ready to explode, but calmed down at the last moment.
"Well, it seems we have an unexpected guest in our presence." Elecktra cursed and hurried flapped her wings and the man turned and his hand grew closer to her throat.
"AHH!" Elecktra sat bolt up-right and panted. She was in a hospital room, laying on the bed. She lay back down on the pillow and sighed.
"That was just a dream? It felt so real, I swore to the gods if I didn't wake up..." She didn't want to think about that. The thought frightened her way too much. She rubbed her head to find a bandage on her forehead, under her bangs.
"Must have been from the glass shattering." Elecktra looked up to see Marik poke his head in the room. When he saw her, he smiled.
"Hey, you're awake." Elecktra shifted so she was half laying down and half sitting up as Marik walked over and sat on the chair by her bed.
"We heard you scream and I got sent to check if you were okay."
"Yea, I'm fine. It was just a nightmare." Marik didn't look all that convinced that whatever made his girlfriend scream was just a nightmare.
"Are the others okay?"
"They're fine. A few minor cuts and a little shocked and confused but other then that, okay." E managed a meek smile.
"That's good to hear."
"It was weird from what they told me and the others. Apparently, you were the only one that fainted." Elecktra blinked.
"Really?"
"Yea, You probably would have hit your head if Honda didn't catch you. The teachers are telling the students of the class to stay home for four weeks while they try and figure out what happened." She chuckled dryly.
"Off school for four weeks, great." Marik leaned in and touched her forehead.
"You feeling okay? You don't sound that great." Elecktra waved his hand off.
"I'm fine, it's just I have a bad feeling." Marik sat back in his chair.
"A bad feeling about what?" E sighed. She started to tell him about the weird guy standing in the courtyard and how he whispered to her to sleep.
"I think he was casting a sleeping spell on me, but the weirder thing is sleeping spells are hard to do. They take time to both write and cast." Marik shook his head.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, E." Elecktra rolled her eyes.
"Right, I'm a magician and you're not." Marik blew at raspberry at her and she laughed.
"That's mature." He winked.
"Hell yea!" The pair chuckled. Yami poked his head into the room.
"Is everything alright in here?" Marik shot a sheepish grin at him over his shoulder.
"Yea, every thing's fine." Yami smiled.
"That's good to hear, well, Pegasus called when you were unconscious, E. He said that when you were well to good see him. He was sending a boat early tomorrow morning." Elecktra nodded.
"This is probably about the disturbance and the incident at your high school."
'Probably, I wouldn't be surprised.'
"Okay, When they let me go, Marik and I will pack." Yami nodded and left. Marik glanced at his girlfriend to find that she watching her hands.
"E? What's wrong?"
"I just have a bad feeling. Pegasus doesn't usually call me unless something is seriously wrong." He touched her shoulder.
"Don't worry, everything will be okay." He pulled her into an embrace and she smiled into his shoulder.
"I hope you're right about that."
