Lonely Existence

Without a Trace

A/N: Thank you all for your support. I love ya! I know the last chapter ended on a cliffie, but at least you don't have to wait long. I'm notorious for cliffhangers. I use them a lot *Grins.* I have to keep my readers interested and coming back.

SimplyBooklogical: Lol. Sorry luv. I'm taken. You want to be my mistress *Wiggles brows.*

Dragyns13: Glad you approve and at least the update came fast.

QUEENOFFANFICTION102: Thank you so much! Aaaand.. the only reason I'm able to post these chapters this fast is I'm kind of cheating. This story is already completed in its entirety. My full published version is on fanfiction.net and it.. is a freaking beast. The damn thing is absolutely huge. You are welcome to head over to fanfiction.net and read it there, but I do recommend waiting for the edits. I believe I have improved since I initially posted the chapters to this story. Also, the reason I'm posting one chapter at a time is to make edits and revamp it before returning to working on the sequel to this book. I've had horrible writer's block on the sequel to this story. The writer's block on that sequel has had me revamping many of my stories and moving them onto Wattpad. It also had me create and complete "From the Black." So yeah... a bit of cheating. Lol

CapricornKitty1975: The Trio of Terror... that's epic. I may have to steal this at some point lol.

jofisk: Yay! I'm glad you are enjoying the edits! I'm having fun going back in to make them.

Thank you all again for your unyielding support. I appreciate you!

Please comment and vote if you like it. *Sings* If you like it than you shouldda put a vote on it..... Yea.. I went there *Blows raspberries.*

Oh for the love of Ra! I groan, slowly opening my eyes. An intense stinging sensation forces me to close them again. I also have the worst headache ever. I know what you are thinking and I swear, I didn't have a drop to drink. Honest. I didn't. This is no hangover. I hear an incessant pounding at the door. That must have been what woke me up. What time is it anyway?

"I'm coming," I croak out; my voice sounding absolutely nothing like what it normally sounds like. I've been told that my voice is as deep, velvety, and smooth as dark chocolate. Yeah... I sound nothing like that right now. My throat is raw and burns something terrible. It feels like I have swallowed gravel and sand paper followed with a chaser consisting of glass shards. Since this is not a hangover, why do I feel so bad? The banging on the door continues, growing louder with each passing second.

"I said, I'm coming! Son of a bitch give me a second to get up!" I do my best to snap; my raw throat turning the statement into a croaking noise. I fling the blankets off of me and tumble out of bed. Great. This is such a great way to wake up. Burning eyes, raging headache, and the worst sore throat I have ever had in my life. Why not add a bruise to the mix? I stumble over to the door and fling  it open. Seto is standing on the other side, looking like someone had gotten his panties in a twist.

"Where the hell have you been? Do you know what time it is?" He growls at me. I blink at him, my face vacant and unamused.

"No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me anyway," I let out a yawn.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon! Not one of the band members have heard from Yugi or you all morning!" Seto glares at me, his eyes locking on mine. Wait..Yugi...where is Yugi? I shrug. He must be in the bathroom or went to get something to eat.
