Chapter Seven: Pain

 

 

My head hurt terribly when I woke up in a dark room. It was
ice cold in there and I started shaking uncontrolably. I tried to make out my
surroundings, hugging myself for warmth, but failed. It was just too dark and
my head was spinning like crazy. I sat down against what I supposed to be a
wall and hugged my knees to my chest tightly. It was then that I noticed that
there was something missing. It was so natural for me to wear it around my neck
that I didn’t notice at first that my millenium puzzle wasn’t there. Great, now
I couldn’t even try to contact Yami as hard as it would have been over the tanctance anyway. Crying would not help me , I knew that, but I just couldn’t
help myself when a few tears descended down over my cheeks.

I jumped when I heard the door open on the other side of the
room. That just couldn’t mean something good as to who my host was.

 

 

“Yugi,”she said in her hypocratical voice.It changed when
she didn’t see me at once: “Now, shrimp, there is no way you can hide from me
in here anyway. Come out and perhaps I won’t be too hard on you for now.”

 

 

She suddenly turned on the light and I had to close my eyes
the sudden change in light blinding me. That was the reason for not being able
to doge the fist hit she gave me. She punched me directly in my stomach as my
arms were raised to shield my eyes. I groaned in pain and just as my eyes had
adjusted to the light she hit me yet again, this time in my head, causing me to
fall over to the ground, my hands clamped over my stomach. There was no way
that I was able to fight back in such a position, but I wouldn’t stand a chance
against her anyway, she was a lot taller than me. I simply let her beat me,
over and over again, kicking me and batting down at me with something hard. I
groaned in pain, tears and blood running down my face.

 

 

Eventually she
seemed to get tiered as I didn’t fight back and decided to let me bleed to
death were I lay on the floor. But unfortunately I had no such luck. She came
back after a few awfully short minutes, two pairs of handcuffs in the one, a
whip in the other hand.

 

 

My eyes widened in shock at that sight and I tried to scoot
away from her in fear, but there was no way to escape. She just laughed manically
at me as she bent down and ripped my already torn apart shirt away and pressed
me face down to the ground. She handcuffed each of my wrists to the leg of a
table and started to leash down on my back mercilessly. I couldn’t help but
scream in agony with every whip she gave me, all the time tears of pain and
desperation welling out of my swollen eyes.

 

 

After some time she stopped again, but this time I didn’t
raise my hopes. And I was right. She returned after a moment of silence and as
I was still chained to that table I was not able to see with what she would be
tormenting me this time.

 

 

“I liked the way you screamed just a moment ago, little
Yugi, and that is why I’m going to make you scream even more. You are going to
wish that you were never born! Ha, ha, ha!”

I didn’t answer, just silently cried, indeed wishing, no
praying on something. I prayed that Yami would come and find me, wherever she
brought me to.

 

 

I screamed again, a blinding pain shooting through my lower
back, my eyes widening in the agony as I tried to squirm away, all in vain. She
did this several times and I suppose she was dripping hot wax all over my
bleading wounds. The pain was nearly unbearable and I almost fell unconsious
when she kicked into my side to prevent me from doing so. She started her
administrations with the hot liquid over again when the doorbell rang.

 

She cursed, kneeling on my injured back.

 

“You keep quiet, got that?! One word and you are going to be
dead sooner than you expect it!” she sneered, pushing her knee into my ribs
while rising to her feet.

 

 

I tried to be as quiet as possible, not because she told me
so, but because the last piece of reason that survived her tormenting told me
to listen who was outside.

 

 

I didn’t hear one word spoken, just footsteps slowly coming
back in the direction of the room. The earlier closed door swung open and
crashed against the wall, splittering into millions of pieces and I screamed in
shock, rolling into a small ball. When I slowly opened one of my eyes I could
see Anzu backing into the room shaking her head.

 

 

“Please! I didn’t mean to hurt him! Please let me go!” she
screeched in fear.

 

 

Then I saw him, standing in the doorframe. The Eye of Ra
glowing fiercely on his forehead, his eyes devoid of all emotion. They glowed
bright red and Tea went flying through the room, crashing into a wall. She
slumped down unconsiously, breathing shallowly.

 

 

I looked at Yami in
fear, my breath hitching, but the moment he spotted me on the floor his eyes
softend and the Eye of Ra vanished. He slowly took a few steps closer,
seemingly afraid to touch me. I could see tears running down his face as he
looked me up and down, kneeling beside me and freeing me from the handcuffs. He
sat on his heels, hanging his head low.

 

 

“I’m so sorry, again, that …”

 

 

I didn’t let him finish his sentence. I jumped into his
arms, nearly crushing his lungs. He slowly and very carefully wrapped his arms
around me, not wanting to hurt me. I clung to him like there was no tomorrow
and cried helplessly into his neck as he silently cried with me. After a while
of doing so, he pulled back a bit, carefully whiping my tears with his tumps
and taking off his jacket to put it around me.

 

 

“Let’s go home,” he said, sofly kissing my temple as he
carried me in his arms.
