Kat: So yeah the second to last chapter. . i dont know when i'll post the last chapter. :/ still working on it. So yeah if it's not posted quick enough for you im sorry now. Just dont hate me for it.
Two years have passed sense Cassie left. Everyone has gone back to their normal lives for the most part. She chose to graduate with her class, but it also caused her to have a lot of extra credits that most colleges have decided that they will not accept. Cassie missed all of the friends that she made, and everyone who met her missed her also. A lot has changed in the last 2 years, for everyone.
But one day that all changed. But will that be for the good or bad of the world.
Cassie's POV
I'm just glad today is over I thought.
I just graduated High school and now its off to several years of college. Honestly, I wonder how Yugi and everyone else is doing. I didn't really miss Tea, theres still something about her that just pisses the shit out of me. I was sitting in my room when I see a bright light. There was something about that light that's familiar.
"Hello Cassie Blake."
"Ma'at." I said, shocked. "I'm honored by your presence yet again."
"It is nice to see you too my child."
"What brings you here today?"
"Would you like to see your friends again?"
"What?" My eyes widened. "I can see them again. How, but why?"
I couldn't find the words to explain how I felt about it or why I would be brought back to their world. She could see it in my eyes.
"Yes Cassie. Horakthy believes that you should be able to visit your friends every 2 to three years, only for one day. Unless something major happens and there is legit reason for your presence in that world."
"Damn it. I never thought I would get to see them all again. Fuck." I paused. "Shit. Sorry for the language."
"Its okay." She laughed a little. "I do not blame you. You leave in 2 hours."
Two hours pass and im back to Yugi's world. It you know, only took two years to get back here. At least this time I was sent back with a watch.
2:34pm it said. Cool about an hour till they will be here. I thought standing outside Yugi's place, which also served as a game company Grandpa owned.
"Welcome to Kame Game." Grandpa said as I walked in.
"Hi." I tried to disguise my voice, but it sounded like shit
"Just ask me if you need anything." He said walking out of the room.
I started looking at one of the shelves, kinda empty. Guess either a rush happened or he cant afford things anymore. He comes out a minute later with a box and sets it by me. He starts placing some items on the shelf, but one shelf he couldn't reach. I placed the item on the shelf just the way he likes it. Despite it being 2 years, I still remember how he likes things in his shop.
"Thank you." He said.
"No problem"
"No, it cant be?" I turned to look at him
"What is it?"
"You, you remind me of someone I know."
"I do?" I lied
"Yes. But no. it cant be. She left years ago."
"Hi grandpa I smiled.
"Cas… Cassie Blake?" I felt I tear go down my face
"Yeah. It really is me."
Grandpa hugs me. I couldn't help feel that he still loves me and I knew that he was grateful to see me again. It was really nice to see him again.
"But how?" He finally manages to ask.
"The Egyptian Gods believe that I should be able to come here every few years."
I left out the part where I could come back in the cast of an extreme emergency because I thought they might end up doing something stupid just to see me again.
3:15 my watch said.
"Everyone will be home soon, they'll be happy to see you. You know where to go."
"Thanks Grandpa." I walked past him to get upstairs.
This was going to be fun seeing them. I hear the door open a few minutes later and a bunch of footsteps on the stairs. I was lying on the couch with my feet hanging over the edge when they walked in.
"I think someone broke into your house when gramps wasn't looking." Joey said.
It was hard to not laugh and give myself away. I lifted a hand up and started waiving at them.
"ummmm?" Tristan said.
"Who is it?" Yugi said.
"Seriously? Im gone for 2 years and you guys already forgot about me?" I said
"That voice…. It… It cant be?" I sat up
"Hai people"
"Oh shit. Cassie" Tristan said
I was attacked, well more smothered in hugs. So worth coming back to see these people. Someone was definitely crying and it was not me.
"How but?" Yugi asked.
"Egyptian Gods." I sighed
"You should come to graduation tonight." Tristan said
"Yes. I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said
"Crap we have to be back at school in half an hour." Joey said.
"Wait Joey's actually graduating?" I said trying not to laugh
"Yes. I actually am." I fell on the floor laughing.
That night at graduation was fun, besides the fact that it was really cold out. Joey and Tristan's parents didn't even show up. I felt bad, but when their names were called I cheered for them. It's a dick move that they didn't show up. At least they have friends who care.
"Im proud of you guys." I said hugging them
"Aww thank you" Yugi said.
"When did you graduate Cassie?" Grandpa asked.
"A few hours before I showed up here."
"Aww we missed your graduation." Yugi said
"Aww man we did." Joey said
"Its okay. I knew you were all there in spirit."
Apparently every except for me was going to a graduation party. I felt really left out. No one told me about a party. Except the party was at Yugi's place.
"Next time tell me you're having a party here. Make me feel left out."
"Sorry. Didn't mean too."
"I didn't even get a graduation party or anything like that. My mom didn't even care that I graduated."
"Than this will make it up for you." Joey said hugging me.
"I've got an idea." Duke said
"Do I want to know?" I said
"Spin the bottle/ truth or dare"
We managed to find a glass bottle to use. It only took like an hour to find it. But that means one less hour I have to spend with everyone.
"I say Cassie starts." Duke said.
"Ugh fine."
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Okay, whoever it lands on you have to kiss them."
I spinned the bottle, freaking out on who it would land it. It started to slow down a few moments later. It finally stops, crap it landed on Joey.
"Shit." I said
My luck just sucks. The quicker I do it, the quicker it will be done. I get up, walk over and just did it. But when I was about to back off, he kissed me back.
"Whoa keep it clean." Tristan said
"He started it." I bitched. "He kissed back."
"Nope." Joey said
We did a few more rounds before we stopped. Well, grandpa walked in on us, but we kept it relatively clean. We decided to watch a few movies and try to stay up all night. The first Pokémon movie, Inception, Star Trek, X-Men, and a handful of other movies we decided on.
We didn't stay awake very long, kinda crashed around 5 am in the middle of Star Trek. I was the first to wake up, it was already 2pm.
"Cool I only have a few minutes left here."
"Ugh, Cassie why are you up already?" Tristan muttered.
"Guys wake up."
It took a few minutes to get everyone else in the room up. Not to mention almost getting punched in the face by Joey, being groped by Duke and screamed at by Yugi. I ran down stairs to get grandpa.
"Grandpa?" I walked into the room
"Yes Cassie?"
"Its.." I sighed trying to find the words. "Its time."
"Okay. I'll be up in a minute."
Once everyone was up stars, just kinda staring at me. I have no idea what to say to everyone, though this is the second time I've had to leave them.
"Im so sorry about this, once again I have to return to my world."
"What?" Joey whined
"Why?" Duke said
"Im only able to travel to your world every few years, but only for one day. I hate this."
"That's messed." Tristan said
"I know, I find it messed too Tristan. But that's the order of things. If I could I would stay here, but it would screw up the distortion of reality or some shit like that."
"How much time do you have left now?" Yugi asked
"Minutes" I looked at my watch, but broke down crying. "Im so sorry."
"No, don't be sorry Cassie. I know im just glad to know you're okay every time you come here." Grandpa said
Ma'at appeared and returned me to my world. I did not know if or when I would see them again. I know I just left but I would if I could stay in their world, I have nothing in my world worth keeping or wanting.
Over the next year I finished my first year of college, the school I went to considered it my second year because of all the extra credits I had. School just sucked, I knew no one in any class I took, all the friends I made in high school transferred out of state, and so I was left pretty much alone. I didn't really talk to anyone in any class. It didn't matter what class I was in, no one talked to me, even if I tried talking to them. That's in every one of the 12 total classes I took.
When it comes to my own mom, she was never really around. She was always working; long and I mean long hours. Even on weekends she was working on extra stuff. Yet again that leaves me alone. Whenever I asked her to do something with me she just told me to go call one of my friends. It's like she doesn't even care anymore. My dad died when I was a kid. I don't really remember him.
Despite doing well in college, my depression started coming back. Sense my dad died, it's been under control, with the occasional attack. Now, its always there. No one seems to really care.
I kinda wished something would happen so I could return. I have nothing here in my world that is worth it. I miss all of my friends in the other world.
"Cassie?"
"Ma'at?" Its only been a year why is she here?
"You are needed in Yugi's world. "
"Why? Its only been a year sense I was last there? Did something happen?"
"Yes. We as gods have the ability to see a few days into the future in case we have to bring someone from another world to another. Today that is the case for you."
"Oh my god, what the hell's going on?"
"You will see when you return. We have to leave now."
I don't remember returning to their world, but I do remember someone shaking me. It was Joey and I was outside Yugi's place.
"Joey I almost punched you in the face for that."
"Sorry but look."
He pointed towards Yugi's place. A gurney was being pulled out of the house. What happened? Who's been killed? Is this why I'm back.
"Wha? What happened Joey?"
"Its Yugi and Grandpa. They…"
"Oh shit." I put a hand over my mouth. "What happened Joey?"
"Someone broke in and shot them." Joey started to cry.
"Oh my god." I hugged Joey, crying also.
A police officer came over and asked us if we knew the people who lived here and if we were willing to go down to the station and answer a few questions. We said yes.
"Cassie Blake what do you know about what happened." The officer asked
"Joey called me saying that I should get over to Yugi's place a.s.a.p. because something happened and when I did he said that someone broke in and killed everyone in the house."
"Is this true Joseph Wheeler?"
"Yes sir."
"Okay, last question. Where were both of you around 10AM."
"I was home cleaning."
"I was walking over to Yugi's place."
"Okay, you both can leave now."
"Oh my god." I looked at Joey after we got outside.
"I hated that."
"I never want to be there again."
"With you on that. Im going to hate the funeral."
"God. Don't remind me. Im gone for a year and shit starts getting weird again"
"There you are." Tristan said. "Cassie? What are you doing here."
"Nice to see you too Tristan."
"Its Yugi and his Gramps. They are umm."
"What? Why is their house cut off like that."
"They were killed." I spat.
"WHAT?" Tristan said
"Yeah. That's why I was brought back here. And if I find who did it I will beat the living shit out of them."
"damn. I had no idea."
One week pass and today is the funeral for Yugi and Grandpa. We managed to have the money, found a space to bury them and a pastor. I didn't know how religious they were but, it works. Kaiba was surprisingly nice enough to help, but just a little. The pastor asked Joey, Tristan and I to give a little speech during the get together after the burial.
Sitting through the burial was difficult. We're all losing friends. Only a handful of people showed up besides Tristan, Duke, Joey and I. Tea told us she didn't give a shit about this and wasn't going to come. Arthur, Rebecca, Mokuba and Pegasus showed up. Everyone was shocked to see that Pegasus showed up. He claimed he was showing his respects to them.
3rd person POV
Three days pass and Cassie had to return to her world. Though she just returned today, she went out roaming the town. She couldn't stand being at home right now, not after the loss of 2 of her closest friends. It took her till 9pm to decide to return home. She was crossing one of the major streets 2 blocks from her house when she was hit by a car. Cassie did not survive the collision.
During the investigation, the driver was convicted of manslaughter. He will spend the next 7 years in jail, 3000 dollar fine and 150 hours of community service. Many people do not believe justice was served for the girl named Cassie Blake.
No one even bothered to show up to her funeral. Not even her own mother. Many people believe her mother didn't even knows that she died because she works so much. Well except for Ma'at. Its kind of, well more of an understatement, a handful of the Egyptian Gods appeared. All of them are and forever grateful for what she did, though all of them did not show up.
"Is there any way we could bring her back?" Ra asked looking over Cassie's grave
"Ra, you know just as well as us or any human for that matter, we cant do that. It would severely destroy the fabric of space and time." Ma'at said
"Her tombstone deserves to be better. She did help save a world" Isis said.
"Yes. I also agree." Horakthy said
Horakthy changed the tombstone to say 'Cassie Blake, helped save the world from the return of the Shadow Games'. Pictures of three God cards, Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon and The Winged Dragon of Ra were also placed on the tombstone. All the gods who appeared at her grave agreed that despite her being dead, she deserves to have some protection like the Egyptian Kings.
Kat: Sorry for the partial depressing chapter. Please dont hate me for it. .
