Haunted

The song is Haunted by Evanescence.

Enjoy. (Especially you Naters!)

And REVIEW.

Natalie tossed and turned in her sleep.

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here

~Dream~

Kiyra ran as she was being chased.

"Leave me alone Mariku!" She shouted as she ran.

Laughter sounded form behind her.

"Never."

Kiyra turned a corner in the alley way in the town. Sand blew in her face as she ran.

When all this time I've been so hollow inside

She wailed when she came to a dead end.

No..!

"Ha. Got you cornered my sweet princess." Mariku's voice purred from not too far behind her.

I know you're still there

Kiyra spun around in fear. This wasn't the first time Mariku had done this before.

"Please leave me alone.." She begged.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Mariku smirked. "Never."

Hunting you, I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head

As he stepped closer, Kiyra's heart began to pound faster.

He was going to rape her again.

She just knew it.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me, watching me

As his hands roamed her body, she flinched.

"P-please don't.." she begged, her voice a whisper.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down

Mariku chuckled. "No matter how much you beg; I will still have my fun."

Then he pulled out his knife and began to cut her clothes off slowly.

~later in the dream~

Atem walked through the village, looking for Kiyra.

Where could she be?

When he found her, he gasped.

She was naked on the ground, eyes closed.

Her hair was matted with blood and she was shivering.

Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Atem ran up to her, taking off his cloak and putting it on her.

Then he picked her up.

How could anyone do this to you?

"I'm so sorry.." He mumbled.

Then he carried her off.

-morning-

Kiyra woke up in Atem's arms.

She could tell because he was snoring lightly.

Atem always snored when he slept.

She turned and looked at him as he slept.

He was kind of cute...

She flinched slightly at the pain.

Was Atem ashamed of her?

Did he hate her?

Kiyra sighed. She didn't doubt it.

As she thought this, small tears ran down her face.

Atem's violet eyes opened, blinking.

When he saw her crying, he frowned.

"Why are you crying love?" He asked quietly.

She looked at him, wiping her tears. "Sorry..." She mumbled.

Atem placed a hand on her cheek. "You have nothing to be sorry for..."

Kiyra blinked at him. "But..."

"No," Atem started, "nothing that happens to you or anything will change how I feel about you. I am not ashamed nor will I ever leave you. I promise."

Kiyra blinked.

Atem must really love her.

"I love you..." Atem finished.

Kiyra smiled slightly. "I love you too Atem.."

~End Of Dream~

Natalie sat up in bed.

Was that..? Was that real? She thought.

Was that what Yami was talking about?

She blushed thinking about the dream.

He saved her..

She wondered something..

If she were in trouble, would Yami save her?
