Ich will mich leichter fühlen. Seit Jahren versuche ich, alles richtig zu machen, weiterzumachen, mich nicht hängen zu lassen. Aber irgendwann würde ich gerne Leichtigkeit spüren, oder wenigstens nicht mehr das Gefühl haben, mich durch jede Woche durchkämpfen zu müssen.
Ich erzähle niemanden mehr was. Es fällt mir leichter jemanden mein aufgezwungenes Lächeln zu zeigen, als die Wahrheit zu erzählen, wie schlecht es mir doch geht.
This is a follow-up to what I was writing for Whumptober 2020. I don’t think I’ll be doing all the prompts, but I enjoyed doing the ones I did! The Big 5 have repented and are trying to recover from Yami Marik’s torture. Yugi and company are on friendly terms with them now.
1. Rescue
The Big Five were grateful but shaken as they crowded in Seto's limousine that night. They had just come from a horrendous several hours spent in Cooperstown's cursed cemetery, courtesy of Yami Marik. They were only alright now thanks to Yugi and the others' tireless searching for them all evening, and they burrowed deeply into the blankets Seto provided on the ride.
Nesbitt stayed close to Lector as the limousine drove off and started back down the mountain. After all the emotional twists and turns and horrors of their experience, it was hard for Nesbitt to believe they were safe now. From everyone else's expressions, they shared similar thoughts.
"This is real, isn't it?" Nesbitt plaintively asked. "We're all alive, and going home. . . ."
Lector squeezed his hand. "I certainly hope so. I really believe it's real."
"What happened to all of you?" Téa said in dismay. "It's obvious you've been through something terrible. . . ."
"As w said, we were made to think each other was dead, repeatedly," Gansley said. "And no matter how we wandered, we could never find each other or escape from where we were."
"At least none of us had to face it alone, but it was horrible enough as it was," Johnson said.
"You know, honestly, I don't think we would've come out of that mess okay if we'd been alone," Crump frowned.
"At least now it's all over and we don't have to think about the What Ifs," Gansley grunted.
"Although we all know we're going to," Johnson sighed. "I wouldn't say we're ‘okay.' It's probably going to take a long time to recover."
"Well . . ." Téa smiled at them all. "At least you have the chance to try. I believe you will recover, even if it will take a while."
"I hope so," Johnson said quietly.
"Are any of you physically hurt?" Atem asked.
"Nesbitt struck a tombstone and has a nasty bump on his head," Lector said, frowning at the spot.
Nesbitt grunted. "I'm fine. I'm not going to any hospital tonight."
Lector sighed. From his expression, he wondered whether Nesbitt needed to, and yet he understood the man's reluctance. What they all really wanted was just to get home, to any of their homes, and relax and try to recover emotionally.
"We thought Crump had been wounded," Gansley frowned, "but there's no sign of it now."
Crump reached behind himself to feel along his back. "I dunno how I could really be hurt and not know it," he remarked.
"You definitely acted like you were hurt and didn't know it back in that horrible place," Johnson said.
"That's freaky," Crump frowned.
"So who was it who was doing all of these awful things to you guys?!" Téa exclaimed.
All of their expressions darkened.
"Yami Marik," Gansley growled.
"We don't know how he managed to get back from where he was supposed to be sealed away," Johnson said, "but he was most definitely there."
Atem frowned deeply. "I wonder if it's that because he is a being of complete darkness, he is somehow able to reach out from where he is if someone is in a place of complete darkness."
"Cooperstown sure qualifies as that!" Joey cried.
"None of us even remember what we were doing right before we woke up as his prisoners," Johnson said.
Mokuba started and looked up in surprise. "You were all going to go up to your cabin and try to find something," he said. "I'm not sure what it was. . . . You were all pretty secretive about it."
Lector shook his head in dismay. "I still have no memory of it. I can't imagine what we were trying to do. What would be there that we'd need to be secretive about?"
"I'm sure you'll remember in time, if it was important," Atem told him. "Right now I believe all of you should focus on getting well."
Gansley nodded. "That's good advice. We will try to see that it's followed." He sank back against the seat, wearily closing his eyes.
The rest of the Big Five relaxed more as well. None of them, however, were actually asleep. All of them wondered just how hard it would be to get to sleep after what they had been through. Yugi and the others, however, fervently hoped that they would all be able to get a good sleep tonight.
