I held the bedsheet covers tightly around me, hoping that it won't happen again. Shivering, I glanced outside of the patched-up window. There were only a few lights that shined in this dark place, in this part of Yuina in fact. A clear distinction of bright lights could be seen from the window, indicating the next sector of the island. But that wasn't my focus at the time. It was at the dark purple sky that hung above the island and everywhere else I could see. I was terrified. I didn't know where the noise was coming from, so I guessed that it may have been from the sky. I saw a light in the air for a few seconds, and then it came. Boom! I screamed at its sound and hide under the bed, placing my hands tight on my ears. I didn't want to hear, not again. How could the sky be cruel enough to send such an awful sound?

"Fiore?" someone called from inside the room. I crept out from under the bed and saw my room buddy Naty, holding a rusty headlamp to light up some of the room and her brown complexion with green eyes. The electricity was out again, so we had to use whatever we could find to light up rooms. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern. "I didn't know you were up."

"The sky is scary," I replied, getting up from my hiding spot. "I wanted to get away from it."

"You can't get away from the sky!" Naty said with a giggle. "That's silly."

"But how do you make the noise it makes go away?" I pleaded. "I don't like it!"

"I don't know." I frowned at her response. If she didn't know, then who else would know the answer? I was sure the adults would, but they were asleep, and Naty said that we shouldn't disturb them. "Oh, I have an idea!" she said suddenly. "Maybe we can make it go away after all!

"How, how, how?" I asked quickly, exciting for a way to get rid of the noise.

"We'll use our cards!"

"...Huh?" Naty sounded so proud of the answer she came up with, but I was confused. "Our monster cards?"

"Yeah! We'll ask them for help," Naty explained. "I heard that Papa Ray does it all the time, and help comes! Let's give it a try!" She ran over to her bed and grabbed a card from under her pillow. "Do you have your special card?"

"Yup!" I grinned. "It's under my pillow too." I grabbed the card and tried to look at it closely, though it was still too dark for me to see it. "I can't see it."

"You don't have to see it right now," my room buddy said excitedly, holding her favorite card tight. "We just have to ask for their help! Now let's do it!" She held the card up high and said, "Mr. Monster, we ask for your help in our time of need. Please come to us!" I watched her in awe as I anxiously waited for her monster friend to come. A minute passes...many minutes pass...there was nothing. "Huh, I thought that it would work!" Naty said with a frown. "Maybe it won't come out?"

"Should I try?" I asked curiously, kind of wanting to help.

"I don't think so. If it doesn't work for me, then it probably won't work for you."

"Can I still try? Pleeeeeeeeeeease?"

"Well, I guess it doesn't hurt to try."

"Yay!" I held out my card to the ceiling like Naty did and said, "Can you come out and help us, please? We really need your help." I stared at my card, and a flash of yellow light appeared on my card for a second. I gasped in awe. "Did you see that, Naty?" I said in a soft whisper.

"Yeah," she replied, in awe too.

"Should I do it again?" Before Naty could answer, a little spark burst out of my card, causing me to drop it and stare at the thing that came out of the card.

"F-Fiore, be careful!" my room buddy cautioned, stepping back from the little light. I touched the light, and a figure appeared in the room, floating before me. I had to look up really high to try and see the figure's face.

"H-Hello?" I said, being a bit shy.

"Why hello, little Mistress," the figure said. The figure's voice sounded like a nice lady. "You called for me?"

I nodded quickly. "Can you make the noise go away?" I asked.

"What noise?"

"The noise the sky has been making for the past few times." Boom! I yelped and hugged the lady by instinct. I didn't know why, but she sounded so kind to me. "T-That noise!"

"Oh, the lightning," the lady said. "I see...how about I light up the room a little? So that you would not be too scared to talk to me."

"I'm not scared," I said bluntly.

"I-I am!" Naty said, hugging a teddy bear on her bed. The lady chuckled a little and made the light appear from a bit stick with a face on it with a few parts sticking out. I could see her entire appearance. She mainly wore purple with a pretty headdress that hid her some of her blonde hair and blue eyes, and red feathers that stuck out from her shoulders.

"Do you feel better now, Natasha?" the lady asked Naty, turning to see her.

"How do you know my name?" Naty asked in shock.

"I have been around you and the other children for so long now because of the little Mistress. It seems I forgot that you cannot see me all the time."

"Could I see you, miss?" I questioned.

"But, of course!" the Duel Monster lady answered. "Whenever you need me, call on my card, and I will come to your aid."

"Ok!" However, I realized something that I needed to say. "But I can't read too well," I admitted. "Can I ask for your name?"

"I am known as Divine Grace Northwemko in your world," the lady said with a smile.

"Divine Grace North..wemko?" I repeated slowly. "That will be hard to remember."

"How about just saying Northwemko?" Naty suggested. "It'd be easier to say."

"I guess that can be suitable," Northwemko said. She turned to me and said, "As long as the little Mistress does not mind."

"I don't mind, Northy!" I exclaimed happily, hugging her tighter. I was happy to have a new friend to play with, besides the other kids here.

"Northy?" She sounded shocked and a little disappointed, or at least I thought. I stared up at my new friend and asked,

"I-Is it okay if I call you that?" The woman smiled and said,

"Yes, you can, my Mistress."

"Yay!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How strange. I'm here writing in this journal again, not to write of my feelings entirely but about a weird dream that I had. It was a dream that felt so real, so nostalgic to me. Why was that dream so vivid? I guess if I were to talk about the dream I should explain what it is. Perhaps it'd be for the doctors to see, or maybe I'm doing this for myself to keep a possible memory alive.

I was in a small room with two beds in it, and it seemed like I was scared of thunder, because as soon as I heard the noise, I ran and hid underneath the bed. My friend, or at least I hoped it was a friend, called out a name and I came out. Fiore, I think it was? She probably called me Fiore because that's part of my name. I seemed so adamant on hating thunder that we thought of a plan to make it go away, by calling for someone to help. But why from a card? I know that there was this person called Papa Ray that can call for someone by a card, but how could I have done it right? What about Natasha? Couldn't she do the same, or was she different from Ray an I? I still don't know.

But besides that, my call seemed to have worked because a woman appeared. I couldn't see what she looked like until she lit up the area, and she was a charming woman. However, she was somewhat mythical, like a person in her form and the way she looked shouldn't exist or can't exist. But in my dream, I didn't care. I was happy to have her around, calling her by a nickname I made up on the spot. Divine Grace Northwemko...her name sounds so familiar and sentimental. Why can't I remember who she was to me? Horrible. I must be an awful friend to her. I wonder if I can talk to her...

Lizzy set down her pencil and glanced around her area. "Okay, I think I saw a pile of cards somewhere here," she said to herself. "Where are they?" She looked around the room and saw a small pile of cards on a table next to her hospital bed. "Oh, there it is!" She grabbed the cards and scanned through them individually until she came across a particular card. "Divine Grace Northwemko," she read aloud from the bold text. She smiled softly. "So, you've been with me for a while, I'm assuming."

"Yes, I have." Lizzy gasped as the Duel Monster appeared, standing beside her. "I have always been there for you," Northwemko stated with a smile. "Whether you remember me now or not."

"I...kind of remember you," the amnesiac admitted. "I just had a dream about you."

"Me?"

"Yeah! It was so vivid and real." Northwemko's eyes widened a little bit and asked,

"Could you tell me your dream, in that case?" Lizzy nodded happily and explained the dream to Northwemko. The latter listened intently and grinned, to the point that she had tears forming in her eyes. After the girl finished, she noticed the woman's happy demeanor but was worried about her tears.

"Are you okay?" she asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, of course not!" Northwemko replied quickly, wiping away her tears. "I was just happy."

"Happy?"

"Yes. The dream that you spoke of was an actual memory of your past!"

"Really?!" Northwemko answered her with a simple nod. Lizzy stared at her in shock for a few moments. Could the amnesiac be remembering who she was through dreams? Lizzy thought of that possibility and then said,

"I wonder if I'll have another memory soon."

"Perhaps, Mistress Fiore."

"Yeah...oh, that reminds me! My name is Elizabeth, but you referred to me as Fiore. Why is that?"

"You will learn in time, my Mistress," Northwemko said. "You will learn in time."

That's the end of Chapter 1! I know that I said that I'd get this posted later, but I'm not busy right now! So I'm just going to post it now. I hope you enjoyed reading it. Here's the card details regarding Northwemko.
