Chapter 7 - um...

Atem came home from school before Yugi. Yugi had detention.
Atem froze and gaped. There was no house. It had been destroyed.
Yemi was in there!

Atem dropped his keys and bags. He stepped into the rubble and called for her. There was no reply.
Fearing the worst, he began to dig through the rubble. He worked faster, digging like a dog burying a bone.

He scrambled through bits of wood. He had searched the whole house. Nothing.
Atem couldnt believe this.
Shes gone, an old lady said quietly. She carefully came over.
NO! SHES NOT! SHE CANT BE! Atem began to tear through the piles of burnt wood again.
He grinded to a halt. She cant be . . . his voice cracked.

Atem slammed a fist onto the pile of planks. He buried his face in his arms as tears uncontrollably ran down his face.

Atems eyes snapped open. Breathing heavily, he sat up in bed. 3am flashed on the digital clock. Atem sighed and lay back down.

10:50am now showed on the clock. Atem was still asleep. It was Sunday December 3^rd. He could be asleep all day . . .
The phone rang. Yugi picked it up.
Hi, Yugi,
Hey, Tea, he smiled.

Can I talk to the Pharaoh?
Hes still in bed. I can wake him up, if you want, Yugi said.
No, its okay. Just leave him, Tea said.

Atems eyes fluttered open.
 . . . Okay, I tell him you want to ask him out, he heard Yugi say.
Atem practically fell out of bed and snatched the phone off Yugi.
Hey! Yugi snapped.

Tea?
Oh, hi, Pharaoh! I was thinking, would you go out with me tonight?
I . . . cant, he muttered.
Why not?
I cant go with you at night. I would kill someone,
Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot about that, Tea muttered.
Im sorry Tea, but- beep!

She hung up, didnt she? Yugi grinned.
Atem threw the phone at him and silently walked past. He got dressed and sat on his bed, disappointment plastered all over his face.
Hey, Im sorry bro. I didnt mean to- Yugi began.
Atem sighed and turned away. He put his head in his hands.

Ill be downstairs if you need me, Yugi said. He left.
Atem sighed again. Why did he have to be a vampire?
