The New Kid

Burning

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, BORED!" was all you could think. You had sat there on the cold floor staring at the plain wall for hours and you were going insane. You stood up and looked down at your cellphone peeking out of your pocket. "Wait! Cellphone?!" you grabbed it and called Yugi as fast as you could without messing up the numbers. "Hello?" you heard a deep voice pick up. Bakura had explained to you that it was Yugi's Yami. "Yami! I need help, please..." you didn't care how desperate you sounded. "_____, what's wrong? What happened?" You let out a sigh, "Marik has me trapped at his house. Please just get Bakura..." "Why Bakura? You can't possibly trust him..." he questioned. "Just tell him where I am..." at that moment Marik came storming through the door and took your phone. He answered to Yami, "Why hello there. _____ can't talk to you at the moment, she's a little busy." then he hung up. Before he ended the call you could hear Yami yelling on the other side. Marik turned to you and you felt worry flood your entire being. “Oh ______, you really shouldn’t have done that.” You bit your bottom lip. “You will obey your master.” He lifted his hand up and you were stricken by a harsh slap across your face. You barely blinked or flinched. Your head was just loosely moving to the side with the force of his hand. It came again and nothing happened, and again. You moved your head slightly upwards to face him where he was kneeling down in front of you. Your (h/c) bangs were partly veiling your (e/c) eyes which were staring into his purple ones. Anger took over your body and you cursed softly. “Hitting me won’t make me see you as my master. In fact, nothing will. You will never control me and I will never obey you. Why would I? Why would I respect someone you kidnapped me and is holding me against my will?!” Your eyes were like daggers now and Marik seemed taken aback by your words. He quickly covered it with a grin and a dark chuckle. “Oh, so she has fight in her. This one should be fun to break…” he smiled. “Don’t talk about me like I’m not right next to you. Anyways, so you just do this all the time?” you struck back. “Well, you could say it’s just the way I am… but you, you’re special…” his face got a really dark look on it and you stood up. You walked to the other side of the dark room and faced the wall. “Oh yeah? And what’s so different about me?” you asked, almost talking to the wall. It was completely silent for a couple minutes, until you felt hot breath down your neck and you were slammed into the wall again. “How the hell did he get there?” you asked yourself. “I never even heard him move…” Your front side was pressed against the wall and Marik was pressed against your back. “You really just don’t understand, do you?” You shook your head, almost in tears. He scoffed and gave a smirk, “Too bad, I’m not telling. You are just going to have to find out for yourself.” He whispered into your ear which he was nibbling on at the moment. You couldn’t stop shaking and you just wanted him to get off of you. You suddenly found strength inside of you to turn around and shove Marik off of you. He stumbled back and grinned, “It looks like you are about to figure it out.” You ignored him and walked towards him. You looked down at your arm which was softly glowing gold like the rest of your body. You didn’t care though. You just fell into complete fear and anger and when you looked up flames were surrounding both you and Marik and engulfing the entire room in bright fire. Your eyes widened and you blinked a couple of times. You were still too angry and scared to focus on what was going on. You shook your head and turned towards the door. The fire that was blocking your way moved aside as you walked into it and you started turning the knob to the door. “Still locked.” You thought. You kept your hand on the knob and thought about how badly you wanted to get out of there. The knob exploded underneath your hand and you knocked the door down. As you walked out into the hallway the fire was gone. The fire had disappeared in the room behind you too,but the door was still broken. You saw Marik standing in the frame of the door grinning at you. “Explain,” was all you said before walking back towards him.
