The Life She Never Wanted #3 (Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal)

Chapter #11

Astrid had to do something. She was afraid Evelyn would do something rash.

She knew Dan had the key. But he can't see her. Astrid could see Astral.

She closed her eyes and started to glow faintly.

"Please Astral. I need to talk to you."

*******

Astral's head shot up. He was in Yuma's key.

"Astrid needs to talk."

He left to see Astrid.

"Astrid. Why do you need to talk?"

"It's about Evelyn."

"Did something happen?"

"No. Not yet. I'm afraid she'll do something and hurt herself."

"Why can't you...." He stopped. "She didn't..."

"She took off her key and through it away." Astrid started to tear up.

"What?"

"Yes. But, Daniel has it. I can feel that he's upset."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Please. Can you look for her? I don't want her to do something to hurt herself."

"Astrid, of course we'll help."

"Thank you." She hugs him.

Astral was shocked. But he hugged her back.

*******

Evelyn kept running when she was out of the hospital. She didn't know where she was, or where she was going. She just ran.

She tripped and fell with a grunt. She looked up, and gasped. She found herself in an alley. She got up and started walking forward slowly.

"Where am I?"

She touched her chest where her key would be. Her eyes widened and she stopped to look at her chest.

"What....? Where is it!? Astrid!"

Then she remembered.

"It's at the hospital. With Astrid."

She sighed and looked down. Then she felt a tug on her shirt. She turned around and saw a young boy with brown hair and brown eyes. His face and clothes were covered in dirt.

"Can you help me?" He asked.

"I...um...what happened?"

"Some men took my sister."

She was speechless.

"Please. Can you help me?" He asked again.

"O-Okay. Where are they?"

The boy took her hand and guided her deeper into the alley.

"W-What's your name?" Evelyn asked.

"Tony."

They kept walking. Further and further.

*******

"Evelyn! Where are you!? Answer me! Evelyn!" Yuma called.

"It's no use. She won't call back."

"I gotta keep trying though Astral. Evelyn!"

Yuma is searching the city. So far nothing.

"Evelyn!" A voice yelled.

"Who is that?" Yuma asked.

They both looked around. Daniel was looking around and calling for Evelyn a few hundred feet away.

"Daniel!"

"Huh?" He watched him run over to him. "Yuma. You're looking too?"

"Yeah."

"H-How did you know?"

"Astrid told Astral that we should look for her. She was afraid Evelyn would do something bad." Yuma explained.

"Thank you Yuma."

"No problem. She's my friend."

He nods and starts looking again. Yuma follows.
