Chapter 3: Escaping

Silent echoes past through the timeless hallways, as it felt colder by the minute. Nothing could be heard within the distance, however it was one door that remained to be seen. Yugi, has that determination and he knew that he had to do this.

'Come on, Yugi. You can do this.'

He said to himself confidently.

'I know it seems like, this might be a horrible decision, but you need to talk to Yami. There's no going back against it now..'

Yugi had slowly turned the knob on the door as it opened with a shining light beaming on it. As it dimmed down, Yugi's eyes widened as he looked inside a room that was an egyptian room. A small elegant room with ancient egyptian texture and texts all around the wall he glanced at how they were texturized as he gazed in amazement.

Yugi then turned his head as he saw a small stand that had a lamp on it. As he then saw next to it was a nice size bed that had drapes coming down from it. As he glanced over at he saw Yami sitting on it. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, as his head was downward. It must've seemed like he was thinking about something because he wasn't moving an inch. He didn't even bother to look up at Yugi once. Yugi slowly walked forward as he was worried about Yami at this point and thought something must've been wrong. "Y—Yami...." Yugi said hesitantly, with a worried tone. Yami simply continued to sit there as his hands was folded neatly entwining his fingers together. His eyes narrowed more than usually as if he was deep thinking.

Yugi got closer inch by inch and the more he did, the more he could see Yami wasn't even blinking. It was as if he was completely soulless. Yugi had rushed to Yami's side, as he bent down on his knees and started to tug on Yami. He was panicking now at this point as his face showed worry and sorrow. "Yami! Yami, please answer me, what's wrong....."

Yugi then slowly touched Yami's hand, and as he did he felt a cold touch. Almost like something wet and gooey. It felt moist and also, disgusting, Yugi glanced down at his hand and his eyes widened tremendously. He then stared long and hard at his hand as it hand blood on it. He didn't understand where this came from, but he then saw that Yami had a knife in his right hand. His wrist was dripping with blood in his left hand. Yugi couldn't help but react with sorrow and pain. "Yami!! Give me that!" He quickly snatched the knife out of Yami's hand, as he turned his head towards him for Yami to look at him.

Yami's eyes was throbbing, as if he saw a ghost or something, he was completely out of it. He didn't even respond to Yugi taking the knife, but he couldn't blink either. He was dripping as Yugi got up quickly, he decided to rush over to the little table next to the bed. He had found an old rag that was a little damaged. However, for Yugi it'll have to do. He quickly went back to Yami and wrapped his wrist gently, and pulled tightly to stop the bleeding. A tear came from Yugi, as he didn't understand what was going on with Yami. Yugi then started to yell Yami's name instead and scream with anger and sadness.

"Yami! Goddamnit! Answer me please! What's going on, with you!? Why aren't you answering me? Look at me, love."

Yugi's eyes stained with tear drops, as he was to concerned for his partner at this moment. Yami has suddenly started to move his hand an inch. He then blinked once as his eyes pierced over to Yugi surprised. "Y—yugi? Is that you?" Yami said questionably and shockingly. It was as if he had no idea that Yugi was here this entire time. He didn't understand it at all. He felt that he was in a dream, a nightmare, where he couldn't wake up from. However hearing Yugi's crying and his cries for his partner manage to snap him out of it.

Yami then slowly looked down at his wrist, as he saw that a rag bandage had been wrapped around it. He winched a little realizing that something had happened to his wrist. Yugi saw Yami's reaction and busted with tears as he hugged Yami gently. "Oh thank goodness! I thought I'd lost you. Yes, it's me, Yami. What on earth is going on? What's happening. Why are you doing this to yourself."
