Into the light

Who are 'they'?

"Hey! You!" Someone reached out and grabbed me. An elderly lady, with a hooded cape over her head. I was receiving bad vibes.
I shook my head, and shoved the woman away. Her bony, frail fingers easily giving way.
"Yugi, one of the gifted.." Her old, scratchy voice pleading for me to listen. I turned, my flee stopped in it's tracks.
"What?" I said flatly inching closer to her face.
"Their coming... warn your warrior.. their coming..." The woman gasped and clutched her throat. I stood frozen in shock.
"Wait! Who's coming, who?!?"
She fell to the ground, writhing and choking. Her cries of anguish became weaker and faint, until there were no more.
"What the..."
I slowly walked over to her and pulled down the hood so I could see her face.
Her hair was grayed with age, with brown streaks going through it. Where her eyes should've been where hollowed out sockets, with black skin shadowing the back. Her skin was withered and frail, but despite all that, it was no mistaking it.
"Mom?"
I screamed took a step back.
"Y-Your dead! I saw you d-die!" I was sweating like crazy, and the world was shaking. I felt myself fall to the ground and my were cheeks wet.
After that, the world went black.

"Yugi! Yugi, wake up!"

I gasped sitting up straight. My heart was beating rapidly, and I was taking in breaths like I just came out from under the water.

I was sweating like I just came from hell and back.

"Y-Yugi!" Yami crushed me in a hug and I did a small cough.

"What's wrong are you sick?" I shook my head, swallowing. My throat was so dry, it hurt to talk.

"I-I had a dream." I said, rubbing my throat, and I was handed a glass of water from Yami. I quickly chugged it down, not even closed to satisfied as the last drop slithered down my throat.

"There was this woman...she said to tell my warrior-you-that 'their coming'. Who are 'they'!" I said.

Yami tilted his head and his eyes clouded in shame.

"Y-Yami?" I said looking closer. He shook his head and a smile appeared.

"It's alright-hey maybe you can call one of your friends up. Joel? Wait no- Joey yes..Maybe stay the night there!" Yami started pushing me around pulling out random closes and slapping it into a duffel bag. I protested as she shoved me into the restroom to get changed. I was in the process of taking off my shirt when Yami opened the door and plucked my toothbrush and toothpaste out from the bin.

"Hey! Knock, could you!" I yelled, blushing mad as Yami did a small playful wave exiting the bathroom.

I looked at the clothes warily.

The shirt was a sleeveless tee, and a white collar. The pants were knee-length and sea colored blue.

"YAMI THIS DOESN'T EVEN MATCH!"

"Wear it Yugi."

"No!"

"Now!"

I grumbled and slipped on my shoes grabbing the duffel bag.

"For some reason I feel like your kicking me out."

Yami made a grunt noise and brought me to the door.

"Yami your going to be with me right?" I said, a string of panic going through me.

"I'll be there if you call me... but I have important things to do. Only if it's an emergency." I nodded, and took a step out the door. I peeked a look back from the corner of my eye.

Yami seemed off, like he knew what I meant. I didn't want to pressure him-so I decided to listen.
Please be careful, Yami!

|-A few hours later at Joey's-|
"Stop burning my house down, Joey!" I said.
Joey and I were playing minecraft, and he kept destroying everything I built.
"TROLOLOLOLOL!" Joey said laughing as he shot an arrow at my cow.
"My cow!"
|-Meanwhile with Yami-|
Thank goodness Yugi isn't here.
I can perform the ritual early.
'They' are demons that come from the very depths of hell, and could kill without a second thought on the matter.
No one will touch my Yugi.
If I performed the ritual early, I wouldn't be as strong as I would have, but I would gain my strength back in a few days.
"Here we go..." I drew a circle in chalk and added symbols. I did a chant, and then placed a few drops of humans blood (don't worry-they were already deceased) and sat down in the middle waiting for it to come.
The next four hours, as my body was solidifying, I was writhing in pain shaking every moment.
Yugi.
