Chapter Seven


When Jess drove to the safe house, Ryou, Yugi, Malik were so quiet, it felt to Jess like driving a hearse. When Jess pulled up in front of the safe house, they all ran inside, they found Bakura and Marik standing over Serenity’s body that was lying on the floor. Bakura turned and said, “She’s still under Yami’s spell, Yugi come here, I need you to help Marik and I break the spell.” “What do you want me to do?” Yugi ask.

Bakura smiled down on Yugi and said, “Listen to me, all you have to do is close your eyes and look deep inside yourself while Marik and I will chant this ancient spell.” “What if I can’t do it?” Yugi said. Bakura said, “I know that you can, please try.” Yugi knelt down next to Serenity, he put his hands on her head, closed his eyes and he concentrated on breaking the spell Yami used. Bakura and Marik started reciting the words of the ancient spell. Ryou and Malik both closed their eyes and recited the words too. Then Yugi’s body started glowing and by the time Bakura, Marik, Ryou and Malik was done reciting the words, Yugi’s body seemed to float above Serenity’s body. Then Yugi floated down and sat on the floor, Ryou and Malik rushed over to make sure that Yugi was alright. Then Serenity opened her eyes and said, “Where am I?”

Roland, Jess and Dave stood there watching what was going on. It was so weird, but they didn’t say a word while those two men were chanting. But when Yugi started to glow and then he rose in the air, Roland and the other two men nearly ran from the room. When it was over and Serenity asked, “Where am I?” It was like a miracle had just happened. Bakura looked at Roland and said, “Get Wheeler now.”

Roland took out his cell phone and called Seto, he said,
“Sir, can you bring Joey to the safe house on George Avenue, his sister is alright.” Seto asked him, “What happened?” Roland said, “Sir, I’ll tell you when you get here.” Seto thanked him and then he shut his phone, went to the kitchen, and said, “Joey, Serenity’s been found.” Joey spun around and dropped the knife on the floor. Seto said, “Joey, be careful or you’ll cut yourself, pick up the knife, now let’s go.” Joey didn’t know if what Seto told him was real; it had been months since Rene disappeared, he didn’t think that she’d ever be found. Seto drove to the safe house, when he parked his car; they got out and went inside.

There sitting on the couch, sat Serenity looking so confused. When she saw her brother come in, she got up and ran to him crying, “Joey.” He engulfed her in his arms, crying and not caring who saw the tears. He looked around the room, then he said, “Thank you.” When Joey looked around again, someone was missing, where was Yami? Then Joey looked at Yugi, tears were running down Yugi’s face, Joey said, “Yug what’s wrong?”

Serenity sobbed, “Joey why am I here, what’s going on?” Joey looked down at her then he said, “Rene, will you sit here beside Seto, I need to go talk to Yugi for a minute.” She nodded her head, and then sat down beside Seto. Joey walked over to the other side of the room and stood there in front of Yugi, he said, “Tell me what’s going on please.”

Bakura and Marik walked over and stood on either side of Joey, Bakura said, “We need to go outside.” Joey went with them, as Marik closed the back door, Joey turned around and said, “Alright please tell me what in the hell is going on.” Marik then said, “Before we say on word, you have to understand that Yugi isn’t responsible for what happened, he’s as much a victim as your sister is.” Joey nodded that he understood, and then Bakura said, “Yami’s the one who kidnapped your sister.” Joey’s fists doubled up and he asked, “Did he rape her?”

Bakura said, “We don’t know.” Marik then said, “The only way to find out what happened to your sister isn’t something that we want to do right now. She’s to emotional right now, maybe in a few days we can, but not right now.” Then Joey said, “When you find out what happened can you keep her from remembering?” Bakura looked at Marik then he said, “I really don’t know.” Then Bakura said, “We really need to talk to Ishizu before we do anything, maybe she can get in touch with Shadi.” Marik then said, “What you need to do now is take your sister home, try not to ask her questions about what happened, and if she asks you anything try to change the subject.” Joey looked back inside then he looked back at Bakura and Marik and said, “Where’s that no good son-of-a-bitch now?” Bakura said, “Don’t worry; he’s not coming back anytime soon.”

They walked back in, Joey went over to where his sister and Seto were sitting, he said, “I’ve got to go talk to Yugi, and then we’ll go home.” Rene smiled up at him through her tears and said, “Alright.” Joey walked over to where Yugi was he was sitting between Ryou and Malik. When Yugi looked up and saw Joey standing there, tears filled his eyes as he said, “Joey, I’m sorry.” Joey stopped him when he knelt down next to him and said, “Listen, Bakura and Marik told me what happened, I don’t blame you for what he did, I’m just glad that Serenity is safe. Then Joey hugged Yugi and said, “When Rene’s feeling better I want us to talk.” Yugi smiled and said, “I’d like that.” Then Joey walked back to where Seto and Rene were and he said, “Come on lets go home.”

Seto drove them home, he helped Joey get his sister inside and when Joey took Rene to her room and finally got her to rest, he went back to the living room. He then said, “I want to thank you for all you’ve done not only for me but for my sister too.” Seto got up, walked over to where Joey was, took Joey into his arms, and gently kissed him. When Seto lifted his head, Joey said, “Seto, right now I can’t let this go any further, I have to help my sister first, I hope you understand.” Seto smiled down at him and said, “I understand, I know that your first concern is Serenity, but I want you to know that the minute she’s completely healed, I’m going to be back here.” Joey then kissed him and said, “And I’ll be here waiting.”

After Seto left, Joey walked back to Rene’s room, went inside and sat on the chair beside her bed. He still couldn’t believe that she was home. He still feared that whatever that bastard did to her, she‘d remember and he‘d lose her forever. After dinner, they sat in the living room watching television. Soon Rene yawned and Joey said, “I think that you had better get some sleep.” He walked her to her room and after she’d fallen asleep, he went to make sure the doors were locked and went to bed himself.

It was in the middle of the night, Serenity was having a nightmare, she was dreaming of being held in a strange place. There was this man, when he turned around she saw that it was Yami, but there was something wrong, he wasn’t the Yami she’d known. Then he began to touch her body in a sexual way, she tried to get away, all Yami did was laugh. She started to scream she screamed and screamed.

Joey was sleeping soundly when all of a sudden the sound of his sister screaming that nearly caused him to have a heart attack. He got out of bed so quickly that he nearly tripped over his own shoes. He ran out of this room, down the hall and burst into Serenity’s room. She was sitting up screaming, Joey could tell that she was still asleep. Joey said softly, “Rene, please wake up.” Then Serenity blinked her eyes, then her hands went to her face and she said, “I saw him, I know who it was. Joey, he raped me.”

Joey went over and sat on her bed; he held her in his arms and patted her back. He said, “Let’s go get some hot chocolate and if you feel like it you can tell me about that dream.” He stood up, gave her the robe and they went into the kitchen. She sat at the table while Joey went over and made some hot chocolate. When he came back to the table, he sat down, set a cup in front of her, and brought one for himself.

Serenity sipped her hot chocolate, then she looked at Joey and said, “Joey, I’m too embarrassed to tell you what that monster did to me, all I’ll say is that he did touch me in a sexual way. I’m scared that he’ll come back and that this time I’ll never see you ever again.” Joey went over, sat beside her, and said, “Listen, I promise that I’ll never let anyone ever hurt or kidnap you again.” Then he hugged her. She held onto him and said, “Thanks big brother.” They went into the living room, as they sat on the couch, Joey said, “Why don’t you lay your head on my lap and get some sleep.” When she fell asleep, tears ran down Joey’s face, he prayed that he could keep his promise to her. He also knew that until she could talk to someone the dreams would continue. Tomorrow he’d call Seto and see if he could give him the name of someone that Rene could talk to.

In the morning, Serenity woke up. She stretched and fell off the couch onto the floor. She sat up wondering how she got there, then she heard Joey snoring and she remembered the nightmare and how her big brother came to her rescue. She smiled as she watched him sleeping, his head was on the back of the couch and his mouth was open. Then the imp came out of her. She got up off the floor, she looked around and then she giggled as she went over and took one of the pillows with fringe on it, walked back and touched his nose with the fringe. Joey swatted the infernal thing that was bothering him away, she did it again and this time when he swatted the thing away, he accidentally hit his own nose. She fell to the floor in laughter, Joey woke up hearing her laughing and it was the most beautiful sound he’d heard in a long time.

Joey got up and when Rene saw him standing there looking down at her she squealed, tried to get up off the floor, but Joey was too quick, he caught her and started tickling her. She was laughing so hard she was crying, then Joey stopped tickling her and they both sat on the floor laughing. Joey said, “How about if we get dressed and go get some breakfast.” Rene cheered, then they both went and changed and he drove to the Pancake House and they had a big breakfast.
