A bout of insomnia prevents me from sleeping after the truth or dare game. As such, I decide to take a little walk. Yugi is sound asleep and snoring when I give up all hope of getting any sleep. At least for the time being. I figure some fresh air would do me some good and step out to take a little walk around town. The streets are nearly deserted, only a few late night stragglers being kicked out of the bar are present. Their laughter grows faint as they stumble away. A heavy fog blankets Athens, silencing the slightly busier streets nearby.

The peaceful stillness of the night is soon broken by the sound of screeching alarms. I watch a line of fire engines and police vehicles speed past me down the street. I turn to watch them, "Don't turn right. Please don't turn right!" My eyes widen in fear, each of them speeding around the corner and heading in the direction of the hotel. No! I urge and will my legs to function properly, enabling me to run back as fast as I can. I round the corner, my hands instantly flying up to shield my eyes from the bright light. I blink several times, allowing my eyes to adjust. My jaw drops and my breath hitches in my throat. The hotel is on fire. A large raging flame blazes a path of destruction up one side of the building. No! Yugi! Our room is directly in the path of the fire!

I run towards the building before the authorities could block it off. I enter the lobby, my lungs are instantly assaulted by the smoke. Seto and the others run directly towards me.

"Oh thank Ra! You're safe!" Seto pulls me into a tight hug.

"I'm fine," I return his hug, glancing around them...one person is missing.

"Where's Yugi?" Ryou tilts his head to the side, his warm milk chocolate eyes widening.

"He was in the room when I left," panic claws at my mind. He must still be there!

"He wasn't with you then?!" Joey grabs me by my collar.

I pull myself away. "No! He was up there," I point in the general direction of our room, "Get out. I'll go get him." My eyes land on a comforter that Malik is wrapped in. That may come in handy. I grab the comforter off of him, leaving the slim sun-kissed Egyptian standing in his boxers. I run up the stairs, taking them two at a time to our floor. When I arrive, thick black smoke hangs heavily in the air. I run towards our room and slide the keycard through the lock. My fingers wrap around the knob. I hiss in pain and I rip my hand away from the scorching metal.
