Invisible Forces

"So, did you like the movie?" Matt asked, unlocking the door to his apartment.

Mimi shuddered. "To much blood and gore! I don't know why I let you talk me into watching that!" she exclaimed, stepping through the door that Matt held open for her. Matt laughed.

Mimi settled herself down on the couch, Matt sitting down beside her.

"Next time, I get to…" she left her sentence unfinished and her voice trailed off. Her eyes seemed to be glued on something behind Matt.

"Mimi? What's the matter?" he asked. Mimi just pointed. Turning, Matt couldn't believe what he saw.

A plate was flying through the air! A couple seconds later, it smashed into the wall, and a cup, then another plate followed it, then a bowl.

"Matt? Is this some kind of joke?" Mimi's voice quavered with fear.

When Matt shook his head, Mimi began to look very frightened. "Matt, there are ghosts!" she cried. "That, or I'm imagining things! I should never have watched that movie!" she hid her face in her hands.

"Mimi, you aren't imaging things, I see it too!" Matt told her.

He stood up. "Tai? Sora? You guys? This isn't funny! I don't know how you're doing this, but it's starting to scare Mimi! So would you just stop it!?" he asked impatiently. But there was no responding answer. Instead, a small, metal box floated towards them, hanging in the air just in front of Mimi, then dropping into her lap. Mimi let out a scream, and jumped up, running towards the door.

As she reached for the doorknob, a invisible force suddenly threw her backwards! Matt rushed up to her, helping her up. Then, they both heard what seemed like a voice. It was so quiet, that it could have been the wind. "Open the box!" came a quiet wail. The voice then faded.

Mimi was shaking by now. Matt helped her back over towards the couch, and Mimi hesitantly reached for the box. She carefully pried the top off, and looked inside.

Inside the box was a single picture. Mimi gently picked it up. Looking at it carefully, she could tell that it was a small painting of someone. Of a woman, to be exact. Of a woman that looked exactly like Mimi. Mimi gently turned the picture over, and peered at the back. There were three single words printed on the back. "Anna Jean Tachikawa" Matt read outloud, leaning over Mimi's shoulder to read the words.

"She's a relative of yours!" he said. Mimi nodded. She had a feeling that something was going to happen. Oh, not today. But soon.

She stood up. "Matt, I've got to go. It's getting late!" she said in a tired voice. Matt nodded.

"I'll walk you home," he said, helping her out the door.

"So why did you want us to meet you here?" Tai questioned impatiently.

Slowly, Mimi explained everything that had happened. By the time she was finished, all of the Digidestined had surprised looks on their faces.

"So, I want to find out exactly who Anna Jean Tachikawa is," Mimi explained. "I'm pretty sure that she's a relative of mine, but who exactly, is what I want to know!"

Sora nodded, and then walked up to a file cabinet. Opening a drawer, she began to flip through sheets of paper. She finally found what she wanted.

"Anna Jean Tachikawa," she murmured to herself. "What we need should be over there," Sora pointed to an aisle of books not far away. Walking towards the aisle, the eight of them began to search.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"Anything, yet?" Mimi questioned after an hour.

"Hmmm…" Izzy said. "The only thing I've found about a Tachikawa with the middle name of Jean, is Alicia Jean Tachikawa. According to the dates…She would be your Great-great-great Grandmother, Mimi," he turned towards Mimi.

"Keep looking!" Mimi ordered, grabbing another book.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"I've found something, you guys!" Matt exclaimed excitedly about another hour later.

"What?" Mimi asked eagerly.

"Lisa Jean Tachikawa," Matt replied. "Mother: Anna Jean Tachikawa! We've finally got somewhere!"

"Who is Lisa? I mean…relative wise?" Mimi was interrupted by Joe who read aloud from the book.

"She would be your Great-great-great-great-great Grandmother, Mimi," Joe told her.

Matt started to flip to the next page.

"Um…Excuse me," came a new voice. Turing, the Digidestined saw the Librarian. "The Library was supposed to close five minutes ago, so if you could come back tomorrow…" she was cut off by Mimi.

"Oh, please! Five more minutes!" she begged.

"No, I'm sorry, I can't allow it!" The librarian said firmly. "You can come back tomorrow! We open at nine o' clock!" the librarian began to tap her foot, waiting impatiently for them to leave.

"Can we possible take the book with us?" Matt asked.

"I'm sorry, these books don't go out on rent!" the librarian replied firmly. Turning, the Digidestined dejectedly left the library.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"Riiinnngggg!!!" Mimi's alarm clock went off. Mimi reached up and slammed her fist down on the alarm clock, settling back down to fall back asleep. Then, remembering what she had to do that day, she sat straight up, and jumped out of bed.

After having dressed, Mimi ran out of her apartment. She didn't even take the time to eat. She didn't call the others, either. She didn't have the time. She knew that something was going to happen. And anyway, this was about her family! She was also starting to get worried. Matt had called last night. More objects had started flying around, crashing into walls. But by the time the police arrived, it had stopped.

Mimi reached the library about five minutes early, and paced back and forth impatiently as she waited. Finally, though, the library opened, and Mimi rushed in, hurrying towards the aisle of books that held the information that she needed.

"Anna Jean Tachikawa," she muttered, flipping through a book. "Here it is!" she whispered excitedly to herself. Mimi stared at a picture of her ancestor. She felt like she was staring into a mirror. Then, a vision appeared in her mind. She didn't know why this happened, it just did. In her mind, she saw objects flying towards Matt. Plates, bowls, cups. Small red scratched appeared on his arms and face. Then, table knives started flying around, giving Matt even more scratched. Forks came next, then more knives. Then, at the very last, a large, gleaming butcher knife headed straight for Matt's head. And she knew, that within a small amount of time, her visions would come true.

"Noooo!" Mimi moaned. She dropped the book, letting it fall with a crash. As soon as she let go of the book, the images stopped. "It's going to kill him!" she understood now, at least in part.

Turning, Mimi ran. The librarian looked at her strangely as she fled out of the library. Once out on the street, Mimi headed towards her house. "Matt! Matt!" she called frantically. "Matt!"

Upon reaching her apartment, she threw the door open, and raced for the phone.

"Be calm, child!" came a soft voice. "Panic won't help him!" Whirling around, Mimi found herself looking into an exact replica of herself.

"Anna…Anna Jean…Tachikawa!" Mimi whispered.

"Yes," came the reply.

"But…that means…you're my…" Mimi didn't get to finish her sentence, as she was interrupted.

"Your great-great-great-great-great-great Grandmother, yes!" Mimi's ancestor replied. "But we must hurry. The evil will hurt him soon! Trust me, I know! I'll explain later!"

"But…but…if you're my…you…you're…you must be a…ghost!" Mimi cried in fright.

"No, a spirit. The spirit of your ancestor, Mimi," as if to prove her point, Anna floated towards her, then disappeared. Whirling around, Mimi forced herself to look. What she saw made her tremble in terror. What she saw, was Anna Jean Tachikawa. She had passed right through Mimi's body, and ended up on the other side of the room. Mimi let out a scream of terror, and then fell to the floor in a faint.

To be continued…

Please tell me what you think!!!!!
