The rest of the day went as good as a day being locked in a room could be, which wasn't very good. The only thing that kept Susy from banging on the door and demanding to let her go do something was her plan for that night. She went over it a thousand times making sure it was foolproof. After about 4 hours of going from lying on the bed, to sitting in a chair, to pacing back and forth, and to lying on the bed again, she was confident it would work.
"okay, I have racked my brain over and over, thinking this over. There is no way it can fail!" Susy said to herself. "yawwn, okay, now for some sleep, I need to make up for those hours of lost sleep." she added, then climbed into bed and passed out.
~time lapse~
BANG, BANG. "hey, it is time to eat!" said a voice from the other side of the door.
Susy's eyes fluttered open. She sat up and stretched, then got up and went to the door.
"well, I cant open this door myself, now can I?" she retorted. There was a click, and then the door opened, revealing Steve.
"alright, smartass, now come on!" he exclaimed, then started walking down the hallway, and Susy followed. "better than a dumbass" she declared, confident by the fact that he didn't have a choice about leaving her, as long as Marik did as he said he would.
They arrived at the eating hall, and everything was the same, except that this time it smelled of chicken, not bacon. Susy, still embarrassed from earlier, laid as low as possible. She silently took a seat and got her food.
'so far so good' she thought.
"everyone!" shouted a nasally voice, and everyone was quiet. "now, you all work so loyally for me, and I think that you deserve some entertainment." he said.
Susy's eyes went wide. 'okay think fast. I need one of those cloaks so I'll blend in.' she thought, then scanned the room, then saw some. 'jackpot!' she added. Susy quietly got up and made her way over to the pile of purple cloaks. She got to the pile and grabbed one and inspected it. 'it seems clean' she thought then put it on. She pulled the hood over her head. The robe was a perfect fit. She made her way to the center of the crowd, and tried to blend in as much as possible.
"now today, we are going to give someone in this room a chance to regain their pride or lose it all." he declared. "you all know her from this morning, Susy aka sissy! sissy come on up here!" he shouted.
She put her head down and stayed still. "sissy, I know your in here, find her!" he commanded, and everyone started looking.
Susy tried to make her escape amongst the commotion, but made one fatal mistake. She was the only one with a hood up.
"hey you, one with the hood up" one of them shouted, and everyone looked at her. "take the hood down" he commanded.
Susy lowered her voice as low as she could and said, "I cant, I have a problem." she said, slowly shying away. "I don't care, take the hood off!" he shouted. Susy shook her head.
Suddenly someone from behind her grabbed her hood and pulled it down, revealing her long blonde hair and face.
"master Marik, here she is!" he shouted. "good, now come sissy" Marik said. "um, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass" she said backing up. "oh, but I insist!" he cheered. Susy sighed when she realized she wasn't going to be able to get out of it.
She walked to in front of Marik's throne. "good, now like I said, you will either gain pride, or lose it." he said, then snapped his fingers. A servant came holding a tarantula.
Susy went wide eyed and stared at it. 'oh, that little…' she started thinking with hands starting to tremble with anger. 'calm down, calm down. He'll get what's comin to him tonight.' she thought taking a deep breath and letting it out.
She pointed at the spider, "hey Marik, it looks just like you!" she said with a innocent smile.
"well, if it looks just like me then you should enjoy holding it." he said smirking. "holding it?" she asked, smile gone. "yes, this is the game I was talking about!" he answered. "if this is a game then what are the rules?" she asked, going wide eyed again.
"simple." he snapped his fingers, and the servant came over with the spider and placed it on Marik's hand. "you see this spider is all about looks, it is just big. It isn't poisonous at all. It is simply all bark and no bite, you with me so far?" he asked her, she nodded.
'wow, sounds a lot like you Marik' she retorted in her head.
"good, now for the rules. All you have to do is hold the spider and let it crawl over you, without freaking out. You cant touch it or anything, you have to stay completely still. If you can do this for one minute, than you win, if you cant then you lose. Understand?" he asked her. "I think so" she answered.
"so will you do it or not?" he asked, crossing his arms. Susy stood there silent. Silence filled the room. "so?" he asked again. "….fine, I'll do it." she replied, voice wavering.
"good, now lets begin." he said then snapped his fingers again. The servant walked over to her. "now take off the cloak and hold out your hand." Marik instructed. Susy took off the cloak and held out her arm and hand. The servant placed the spider on her hand.
It took Susy all of her self control to not run away when that spider hit her hand. She silently whined and turned her head away, closing her eyes. "now Susy, you have to keep your eyes open and on the spider." Marik told her. Susy reluctantly obeyed.
The spider started crawling up her arm. Susy's arm started trembling. "thirty seconds" Marik declared. The spider reached her shoulder and crawled up and around her neck. Susy started whining and shaking. The spider was on the back of her neck. "twenty seconds" he said. The spider started climbing down the inside of her shirt and down her back. This was Susy's breaking point.
"I cant take this anymore!" she shouted then shook and the spider fell to the ground. "ok I give up, I know I lost, I lost my dignity, so what!" Susy exploded. "and just to let you know Marik, it isn't unnatural to be afraid of spiders!" she shouted. "and how is that?" he questioned, smirking. Susy was silent for a moment. "just eight words, why is an elephant afraid of a mouse?" she said then turned tail and walked towards the door.
"Steve that was assigned to me come on, take me to my room!" she yelled. Steve walked over to her and escorted her out.
They arrived at her room. Susy stomped in and Steve locked the door and left.
Susy plopped down on her bed and turned on her stomach and screamed into her pillow. She turned back on her back and got under the covers.
"geez, I'm never gonna live that down!" she whined. "well, by tomorrow Marik will regret everything he has done!" she added, then fell asleep.
I'm so sorry this took so long, and that is so short. i have been busy and i am second guessing what i have planned for the next chapter. i hope to get another chapter up soon, but first i have to work on my other fanfic Truth or Dare: Yugioh Style first. and sorry if this chapter sucked, i was stalling for time and i needed her to get through the day and somehow make it interesting, and this is what i came up with! and yes, for you hawk-eyed readers you probably thought, "hold on, marik lived in a tomb all his life, how would he know about elephants?" well, he lets just say he went to a zoo and learned about lots of animals, including elephants. as always comments are loved! they really give me motivation to continue these stories. anyway, that is it for now so OBEY MY ROD, wait wrong catchphrase, PEACE OUT!
