Prisoner of The Dark Sign

Chapter 12

Crystal's Pov

I didn't like the way I had left things with Jack. After all, he was trying to reach out and try to understand what The Dark Signers did to me. But I had pushed him away and ran from him. I just wasn't ready to tell him.

But it was nice to talk to him.

It was also nice to learn more about him and about his past. I feel like I have known him forever yet......I feel more separate from him. 

A knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts. I turned and looked at the door.

"Come in." I said.

I was sort of hoping it was Jack, but instead it was Akiza.

"Um...hi." She said. "I was wondering if we could talk."

I nodded and said "Sure." 

She came in and we sat on my bed and she looked at me. 

"I figured with all the boys around you could use a girl to talk to." She said.

I smiled and she said "I hate to be to the point but I was sensing some major physic energy from you. When you were dueling Leo."

I looked at her and blinked in confusion. What did she mean by that? What does that make me? Some sort of freak? How did she even sense that?

"You're confused." She said.

I nodded and she said "Well I know this may be a lot to take in but you are a physic duelist. And if I am right, probably stronger than me."

"How would I be stronger than you?" I asked.

"Well. I know because I'm a physic duelist too." She said.

"Really?" I asked.

She nodded and she said "I should get my rest. You should too."

I nodded and she said "Good night Crystal."

"G'night Akiza." I said.

She left and left me with my own thoughts. There were so many of them. Thoughts about Jack, about me being a signer and a physic duelist, and even about......Kalin. 

I don't know why but I can't stop thinking about him and.....I admit I also can't stop thinking of how nice his lips felt on my own. 

Did this mean I had feelings for Kalin, a Dark Signer? Well I can't deny that I think I am forming feelings for him. But I would never let anyone else know about it. They'd turn away from me for sure. And Jack........he'd hate me. Probably more than he already does.

I sighed and I stood and crawled under the blanket and I slowly fell asleep.

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

I woke to absolute silence. 

I frowned and I stood and opened my door and said "Jack? Yusei? Akiza? Hello?"

No response.

What was going on?

I walked downstairs and I saw a man sitting at the table with a cup of coffee. He looked up and saw my confusion. 

"You won't find any of them." He said. 

I looked at him and he said "They all left. The twins, Yusei, Jack, Akiza, and Mina and Trudge." 

They......they left. 

They left me all alone here. How could Jack go and do something like that?

I wasn't going to lie. I felt hurt. I thought Jack cared about me and said he'd protect me. I thought he wanted to get to know me. 

I guess I should have seen this coming. I should have known he didn't mean any of that. I should have known that he'd turn his back on me like he did the first time. What a fool I was to believe that he actually cared. 

"Hey. You ok?" The man asked me.

I looked at him and I nodded and I said "I'm leaving."

He looked shocked and said "Whoa what?!"

"Leaving. As in I am out of here." I said.

"If you leave then Jack will have my head!" He said.

I scoffed and said "Yeah right. He's bluffing. He'll act like he cares and then just when you think he might be different and actually cares about you. He'll turn his back on you and leave you."

He blinked in confusion and I turned and walked out the door. I stopped dead in my tracks when I was two feet from the house. My eyes were wide as standing in front of me was Roman. The leader of the Dark Signers.

"Hello Crystal. Miss me?" He said with a chuckle. 

I took a step back and he said "I hear you're a physic duelist. How about we try that theory out?"

"I have a better idea." A voice in the shadows said.

I looked and a man with dark chocolate colored hair walked out with a smile.

He glared at Roman and said "Be gone Dark Signer. I have my claim on this one."

Roman shrugged and said "As you wish. But mark my words Crystal. We will be meeting again." 

I looked at him with fear and he chuckled and disappeared into the shadows. I was looking into the direction he had went and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped a bit and I saw that man standing there.

He smiled and said "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sayer."

I blinked and I could tell he knew I was scared. 

"Get.......get away from me!" I said.

He smiled and said "I know you are confused and scared but I am here to help you."

Help me? 

"I am a physic duelist and I am a friend of Akiza. I helped her control her physic powers and I can do the same for you." He said.

He.........can do that?

"I can help you before your powers become a danger to yourself and those around you." He said.

I looked at him and I had a feeling that he was lying. That I shouldn't trust him. 

I shook my head and I said "No. I don't want your help."

He smiled and I turned to run but a arm wrapped around my throat and Sayer pulled me against him and held me there as I struggled to get away. A mask was slipped over my mouth and I panicked.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice Crystal." He said into my ear. 

His chuckle began to fade and so did my vision and I closed my eyes and lost all feeling in my legs and fell into darkness.
