Falling from Grace

 

 

Chapter 3.

Tea had long missed dance-class today, watching for hours as Marik pain-stakenly mixed the different ingredients to make this potion, with the help of Odion at his side. Ishizu watched at the side lines, but only continued to try to warn Tea not to do this.....that this solution could only bring pain and misery.

 

But Tea wouldn't listen, now so intent to `stick it to Kaiba'. She couldn't see any harm in it. Infact, all she could imagine was Kaiba groveling at `her' feet for a change, as she laughed and pushed him away like nothing........picturing the guy crying. `Oh, yeah! Life would be good.......real good!'

 

The potion was now complete, as Marik carefully handed her the sealed vile. “Now you must listen to my instructions very carefully, and remember them well. For if you do something wrong, there can be dire consequences!”

 

Tea was all ears, worried about what could possibly go wrong now, wondering if Ishizu was right.

 

“This vial has no taste, no smell, and cannot be detected under the most scientific of methods......the reason being, is that it's magic in nature”, Marik told her.

 

Tea's eyes widened in fascination and awe.

 

“This vial must be placed into the drink of the person you are planning to use this against. You must use the whole thing, or you may not get the right effect”, Marik continued to warn her.

 

“Uh.....does that mean if he doesn't drink the whole glass......”, Tea began to ask.

 

“No”, Marik stopped her, mid-stream. "All it will require is one sip for it to take effect. But if the whole thing's not used, you will dilute it's potency, causing unpredictable side-effects......perhaps even the reverse effect of what you want.

 

“Oh.” Tea looked unsure hearing that. `Great, I could have Kaiba hate me even more!'

 

“There is more”, Marik added. “As soon as he takes a drink of the potion, the person you want him to fall for must be the first person he first sets his eyes upon. If it's not you, than whoever else he looks at will be the person. This potion is meant to be permanent, so *be careful*!”

 

Tea swallowed, taking the potion with shaky hands.

 

Marik smiled, saying, “Don't drop it.....such an item isn't easily replaceable. And make sure not to accidentally drink it yourself, or you will come victim to it's power.”

 

Tea nodded, quickly shoving it in her purse. She turned, ready to run off, but was stopped by Ishizu. “Please Tea.....think long and hard on this before you make such a decision. Once you make it, you may never be able to undo it.”

 

Tea nodded, and ran off.

 

After Tea was gone, Ishizu looked down at her brother, asking, “Why, brother? Why did you do this?”

 

Marik smiled back, saying, “What better way for a person to learn their lesson, than the hard way?”

All night, Tea tossed and turned from various dreams and nightmares from that potion she was given. Some dreams showed her plan coming true and Kaiba turning into a sorrowful victim of her revengeful delight. Others were nightmares, with Kaiba happening to look and see the most popular model in school.....then both of them ganging together against her. Another one was her accidentally drinking it, and coming a hopeless victim to Kaiba's whims. And finally, another dream was that she didn't pour the whole thing, and he grew a second head.....becoming some kind of monster!

 

Morning came, as she leapt up screaming, “Get away, you two-headed freak!!” But she looked around to see it was just her bedroom. She sighed, saying, “Thank god, it was just a dream.”

 

Thinking through her dreams, she finally decided. “That's it.....Yugi and Ishizu are both right. It's wrong to wish for bad things on people.....even Kaiba. I'm not doing it. Besides......what's the chance of ending up in a position where I could pour something into his drink without him noticing, anyway? And at the same time not have anyone else around to look at, besides me? It's impossible.....I might as well just give up on the whole idea. It was stupid to begin with.”

As if fate itself was playing a cruel joke on Tea, that event had indeed come right infront of her face......like the hand of temptation, offering her her hearts desire.

 

 

 

Narr: Chapter 3 had infact ended in a very bad cliff-hanger. Fortunately, I am sending 3 chapters each day until, well.......we get to Chapter 15. At that point on, it will become one chapter per week, hopefully every Monday (which is the best time for me to post).

 

Again, any old reviews are not going to be listed since it was all ready done at the other sight. But starting when I submit Chapter 16, all submission from both sights will be now listed here at Media Miner.

 

Any people that normally read this fic at the other sight and see this, I should warn you now that I might be late submitting Chapter 16, since I will need to catch up to it on this sight, first. Believe me, ff.net has really inconvenienced me too on this matter. But no matter how much they are trying to make me ignore my readers, it's simply not going to happen!

 

I mean.......yeah, I can now more easily reply to those that are officially submitted to their sight. But what about those that aren't? Their answer is to ignore them and pretend they don't exist, like they're not worthy to acknowledge. Well, I disagree. Any reader willing to give me feedback aren't people I plan to ignore.
