Chapter One: Memory
Joey, Tea, Yugi, and Tristan were on there way to the Game Shop right after school. They were rushing some to get there because Yugi's grandpa was supposed to have gotten in some rare cards today. Joey suddenly froze though when they passed a rather old building that looked like it had been abandoned for years. The door was hanging on by a hinge while all the windows were either boarded up or broken in several places. Joey shook alittle when an old memory started coming up while `he' looked at the building.
A girl with long blonde hair and golden eyes was running from a group of men. The girl was a five year old Joey and she was running for her life. She looked over her shoulder to see if the men were still behind her and was surprised to see all three gone. Suddenly she felt someone grab her then pull into the abandon building she had stopped in front of. She started screaming but all it got her was a slap a crossed the face. The group surrounded her and one of them tied her to a pole.
“P..please l..l..let m…me g..go,” stammered Joey while she cried. Her cries fell on death ears though as the largest of the three tore her skirt and underwear off of her with the other two watching. The man stuck his finger into her body while one of his buddies stuck two fingers into her butt, Joey crying hard the whole time.
She squirmed trying to get the two's fingers out of her but they just kept moving them in and out of her. Tears formed a river down her face as she kept crying while the two men kept hurting her. Suddenly she saw the third man fall to the ground, blood flowing from his open mouth. She then felt the two men's fingers leave her body and looked to see them on the ground as well, blood coming from a hold in both of their foreheads. She then looked up seeing a man about twenty with long platinum hair. Joey started whimpering as the man patted her on the head.
“Don't worry little one I won't hurt you,” She calmed down hearing a person say that in a gentle voice. He then cuts the ropes around her wrist and took his coat off then wrapped it around her. “So what is your name little one,” said the man as her carried her to his car. Joey looked at him while telling him,
“Josephine Wheeler,” She told him.
“I am Maximilian Pegasus,” said the man, “and, even though under these circumstances, it's nice to meet you.”
He then drove Joey to the hospital and told them everything he saw while they were examining her. Also, after doing alittle `persuading' Pegasus was put on her emergency forums as her guardian to call if anything else should happen to her. The nurse then left to call Joey's father, leaving the girl alone with her new guardian.
“Remember little Josephine if you ever need me just call,” Pegasus told her while handing her his number. She smiled as he left the room, giving her some time alone before her father got to the hospital.
“Joey come on!” yelled Tea bringing her out of her memories. She smiled as she ran up to meet her friends, thinking silently that if it wasn't for Pegasus she might not be with them right now. It was still kind of funny to her that everyone hated her savior while she never could, even after what he did at Duelist Kingdom. A few minutes later all four of them finally got to the Game Shop. Tristan rolled his eyes slightly when he saw Grandpa with Yami, both looking at the cards. Yugi walked up to Yami and wrapped his arms around the taller man's neck saying, “So was this the reason you skipped school today?”
“Yes, I wanted to look at the cards before you got a chance to,” Yami coughed alittle to try and force a blush down as he answered. Tea and Tristan sat down on the stools in front of the register while Tristan rolled his eyes. Joey sat down on the other side where Yami had been and went to grab the cards when Grandpa slapped her hand.
“Hey,” said Joey while rubbing her hand.
“No touching young man,” Grandpa told him, which silently offended her but she kept quiet. Yami sat down on a spar stool and put Yugi on his lap while the others looked at the cards. On drew Joey to it though and before Grandpa could react she grabbed it. It had the weirdest name as well, it was called Blue Eyes Grey Dragon. It looked like Red Eyes Black Dragon but the eyes were blue like the Blue Eyes White Dragon and was dark grey.
“Gramps can I please have this card,” Joey looked at Grandpa, giving him huge puppy eyes while asking. Grandpa looked at the card in her hand a few moments before sighing.
“Sure Joey but take good care of that card because that's the first time I have ever seen that card,” Grandpa told her.
“Thanks Gramps,” Joey said while she smiled brightly. They all talked for what seemed like a few minutes but Joey was surprised to see it had really been four hours.
“Shit I have to get going home, I told dad I would be home an hour ago!” yelled Joey while running around to get her things. As she rushed out of the door all of her friends looked at the door, all of them thinking the same thing. That she would be alright and that her dad hadn't been drinking a lot.
