Why is there screaming in the next room? Who’s in the hospital? Is he okay, whoever it is.

“Joey! Please wake up! Open your eyes!” I hear the high pitched sobbing from the next room. That has tobe Joey’s little sister, Serenity.

“Doctor! You have to save him! Quick, inject him with 40 CC’s of friendship!”Tea begs. I roll my eyes.

“I’m sorry we’ve done everything we can. Only a mirical can save your friend now.” The doctor bows his head, aware that he cannot heal the damages done by shadow magic.

“Then why aren’t you using one of those!” Tristan begs, furious he cannot do anything to help his comatose friend. I hang my head in remorse. Joey didn’t deserve that.

“What could Joey have done to deserve this?” I ask.

“He called hacks, he said Melvin hacked Mega Ultra Chicken…” The Pharaoh begins.

“Because he wasn’t in the Canto region!” I gasp. He used that joke with me at school when I dueled him in form. It was fustrating but bearable. Poor Joey, he was just an innocent immature comedic.

I sigh, Melvin can still compete in this competition. The final duel is between the Pharaoh and Seto Kaiba, I hope that the Pharoh wins this duel because there is no way that Kaiba would win against Melvin. His douchey monologues would annoy Melvin enough for him to murder somebody.

“Hadley, lets give Serenity time with her brother.” Ishizu whispers tugging on my arm. I again feel a negative force within my necklace again. Wait! Did Ishizu just shove me away. I cannot see! Have I blacked out again?  What the Hell caused this one? Fear?

“I can heal him. I can heal Odion too. I just need time alone with them. Let Joey go first, his sister is younger and more innocent, fragile.” The lady from the Shadow Duel informs Ishizu. “Also, from looking at him, his condition is much more unstable.”

“Put this on. You’ll look more like a doctor.” Ishizu replies. I assume that it’s a jacket. I hear the lady turn away from Ishizu.

“Hello little girl. Is that your brother.” The intimidatingly voiced woman asks softly.

“Yes.” Serenity Wheeler sobs.

“What would you say if I told you I could heal him?” she asks the twelve year old redhead.

“I would say, do it.” She replies, sounding hopeful.

“Well I can. But I need to be alone and it may take some time, I’m out of practise.”  She laughs softly. I hear Serenity get up and leave Joey’s room, I assume she’ll go to support the Pharaoh in his duel against Kaiba.

I hear the woman murmuring words in a language I have not heard before. I hear Joey’s heartbeat stabalise and his body beginning to comprehend to what is going on. How can I hear this. Did the lady drag me colser to Joey so she can wake me up too? It could be.

“Nyeehhhhhhhhh.” I hear Joey sigh. I then hear a door open and close as my vision restores it self. “Joey!” I exclaim. Why am I slumped close to the door.

“My brother!” I hear Serenity cheer in glee, swinging the door open and tripping over me.

“Sorry.” I blush. That was humiliating, I just tripped up a little kid! I don’t think Serenity even noticed that she had fallen because by the time I’m stood upright, Serenity is helping to steady her brother.

“Hadley, can you get Tristan and Duke, they’re in the main hall?” Serenity asks. I nod, walking toward the main hall. Duke is re-applying his smeared guyliner and Tristan is wiping away his tears.

“Hey.” I greet, sitting on Kaiba’s blue coffee table.

“Hi.” Tristan says, looking away from me.

“Joey’s awake again. Serenity’s in his room right now. Some doctor performed a mirical.” I beam, not even trying to fake optimism, Joey just came back from death’s door! He’s alive and well! Shadow Magic can be reversed! Odion could be awake now too! Who knows.

“She’s… smiling.” Duke blinks, looking me in the eye, now stood in front of me. “I didn’t know she was capable of smiling.”

“Shut up.” I laugh, pushing Duke backward, onto Tristan’s lap. I blush and rush off . This is the happiest I have been in so long!

“What’s up with her?” asks Duke, shifting off of Tristan.

I walk, okay it was more of a skip, away from Tristan and Duke. There is hope. A small shimmer of hope. I head to Odion’s room only to walk into Joey.

“Thank you.” he nods. I stare at him blankly.

“I’m sorry about what Melvin did you you.” I hang my head.

“It’s okay.” Joey nods, running off to support his friend.

I go into Odion’s room.

“If only I could experience such an epic battle.” Ishizu sighs.

“Hey! You’ll be seeing me duel Melvin.” I laugh.

“Of course!” Ishizu gasps, unaware of my pressence.

“Joey woke up.” I smile.

“I know.” Ishizu states looking at Odion, hopefully.

“So she hasn’t shown up yet?” I ask.

“She?” Ishizu asks in reply.

“Yes, the woman who braught Joey back from Death’s door.” I clarify.

“…No.” Ishizu replies.

“She’ll show up soon.” I promise. If she saved Joey, she can wake Odion up.

A knock at the door disturbs the silence. I open it, looking to see who Odion’s visitor is. I gasp, stood by the door is none other than Mokuba Kaiba!

“Hello is Miss Ishizu in there also?” Mokuba asks politely.

“Yes Mokuba, she is. What’s going on?” I ask.

“We need to talk Joey out of dueling my big brother!” Mokuba frets. I gulp. Kaiba has no sympathy for Joey.
