Shadow Duelist (Alexis Rhodes x male reader)

Chapter 04: Abandoned dorm

The Abandoned dorm, a forbidden place at Duel Academy, and a scary one at that. It was not a dormitory like the others. It was a large, dilapidated building with boards on the windows and the front door open. Even though the place was deserted and abandoned, one person had been going there frequently since she arrived on the island. Alexis Rhodes. She walked through the trees and stopped right in front of the wall and the "Do Not Enter" sign. Then she placed a red rose at the foot of the wall...

"Be at peace my brother, wherever you are..."

--------------------------------------------------

In the dining hall of the Slifer dormitory, Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley were telling ghost stories while (Y/N) was video-conferencing on Jaden's Duel Pilot. He had met Jaden from time to time while going to the Academy from the Red dormitory and after the exams, he was introduced to Syrus and Chumley and tonight he was invited on call so he wouldn't have any problem telling ghost stories. Now it was Syrus' turn.

"I went out into the woods, and under the full moon, I see a path that leads to a cave that looks... abandoned!" Said Syrus as he took his turn.

"Oh really?" Asked Jaden, interested. "And then what?"

"Then, at the bottom of the cave, I see a mysterious lake. So I go in and look very carefully. And in the right angle of light, at the bottom of the lake, beyond my reflection, I see a rare and powerful map. Naturally, I go looking for it, but when I reach out for it... an arm comes out of the water, grabs me, and starts pulling me into the lake! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! HELP ME, NOT THE WATER, NOT THE WATER!" Said Syrus getting too involved in his story.

"The water isn't that scary." Said Jaden.

"Even dirty swamp water?" Sighs Syrus "You're right, only a moron would be afraid of such a story." He said unaware that Chumley had taken a position in the far corner of the room.

"It was still a good story." Said Jaden as he picked up a four star monster called Chained Spirit at the Earth. "Mid-level scares for a mid-level card."

The rules were to tell a story as scary as the level of the monster drawn was high. He then drew a card from the deck. "But me, I hope I can get a high level card..." But the card Jaden drew was Sinister Snake, a weak one-star monster. "Oh..."

"Lucky..." Said (Y/N).

"Yes, you were lucky. You don't have to scare us at all with that low card." Said Chumley as he returned to the table.

"Well, I think I have a story that might do the trick." Said Jaden as he set the card down. "Actually, it's more of a memory. When I was a kid, I used to hear sounds, but I didn't hear them until late at night. I think I was dreaming, but then... I would hear them... they sounded like voices, but not the ones I recognized. I would go into the game room to investigate but when I did, there was nothing there at all... except my cards."

"And... ? " Insisted Syrus.

"And that's the end of the story."

Syrus and Chumley groaned.

"Hey, at least the story matched the level." (Y/N) shrugged.

"It did." Confirmed Syrus.

"But do you want to hear something strange?" Asked Jaden. "Lately, I've started hearing them again."

"I want to join the fear party!" Said a voice behind Jaden.

The voice made Jaden, Syrus and Chumley scream in fear while (Y/N) had a simple startle. As for Chumley, he was in the corner of the wall and Jaden and Syrus turned to where the sound was coming from. It was only Professor Banner and Pharaoh.
