CS: Hi there! This is my prequel to my story Digital World XD. This is basically a background story about my two characters; Ember and Aurora. This is a double oneshot, meaning that even though there are two chapters, one will talk about Ember and the other will talk about Aurora. Okay, here is it! Check out my story, Digimon fans!

Ember's story: Left behind

It was noon by the time the young ten year old girl woke up to total silence. The blond haired girl looked around curiously.

"Dad?" she called out. "Dad?"

A russle in the kitchen sent chills down her spine.

"Dad?" she asked in a bare whisper. A grunt came from the kitchen, and it certainly was her dad.

Suddenly a gruff voice spoke, muttering something unintellegent.

The blond tilted her ear towards the kitchen, tip toeing over to the door.

The voice spoke again, this time more understandable.

"Come on, DemiDevimon! There's nothing here but food and kitchen wear! Let's go and set the house on fire and leave!"

"No!" another voice snapped. The girl assumed that this new voice was DemiDevimon. "We need to find the kid! The boss will want her!"

Me? the girl thought fearfully. What could those monsters want with me?

Foot falls told the girl's keen ears that the two intruders were heading this way. The girl squeaked and shut the door quickly.

"What was that?" the first voice asked.

"It came from over here. Come on," DemiDevimon urged on.

The girl couched over fearfully, sweat perils appearing on her templates.

The foot falls stopped again. But this time stopped into front of her door.

"In here. We haven't checked in here yet," the first voice grunted.

There was a pause, then a loud slap as skin leather made contact on leather.

"You nincompoop! There's nothing in there! Let's go!" DemiDevimon spat at the other digimon.

More foot falls, but this time far away. The girl, who was cradling herself, finally placed her ear against the door and sighed. Then a new noise reached her ear.

It was the sound of crackling flames. But that didn't make any sense, the girl thought. That is, until she smelled smoke.

The girl didn't care anymore if she was found, so she started screaming for help as loudly as she could.

"HELP! HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!"

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Flamdramon, a champion level Digimon, was getting some fire wood when he saw the smoke and ashes rising from the distance.

He looked up and gasped. This wasn't coming from a chimney, nor a campfire. This was a wildfire.

"Uncle Flamdramon," a little voice said from behind him. Flamdramon turned his head to see his nephew, Mo the DemiVeemon, standing behind him, looking curiously at the fire.

"Uncle Flamdramon," the little Digimon squeaked again. "Why is there smoke over there? Did something happen?"

"No," Flamdramon stated quickly. He looked back at the fire and said to Mo, "Stay here, Mo! I'll be right back!" With that said, Flamdramon ran at top speed towards the deadly blaze.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Flamdramon soon found the source to the fire. A burning house.

Flamdramon ran around the house a few times, trying to see if anything was alive in the torched home.

He paused to take a quick breather, when he heard a small cry from inside the house.

"Help . . . please (cough) (cough) . . . help," came the little rasp of a voice, then it bursted into a fit of coughing.

Flamdramon gasped and shouted, "Hold on! I'm coming in to save you!"

"Help . . . " another cough.

"Keep yelling! I'll find you!" Flamdramon called.

"What (cough, cough) should I say?"

"Anything!"

"1 (cough, cough), 2, 3, (cough, cough, cough) 4, 5, 6."

When the voice got to ten, Flamdramon located the sound.

A ten year old girl was curled into a tight ball, squinting out the open window.

Flamdramon didn't hesitate for a moment. He slammed his claw into the burning wall, and by contact it crumbled.

He jumped into the room, leaned over, picked up the child, and jumped out of the burning house and ran.

Ran as fast as he could.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Flamdramon carried the human child all the way to his home. Mo was sitting on the large log when he heard his uncle coming.

"Uncle Flamdramon!" Mo cheered, jumping up and down.

Flamdramon smiled at his nephew's excitement.

"What is that, Uncle? Is that my new toy?" Mo gasped when he noticed the human.

Flamdramon chuckled and said, "No Mo. This is a human."

"A humon?" Mo tilted his head to the side and asked, "What kind of Digimon is that?"

"She's not a type of Digimon, Mo. She's just a human."

"A humon." Mo grinned ear to ear, and shouted, "She can be my new play buddy!"

The girl slowly began to stir. Flamdramon smiled and set her down gently.

The human looked around her and asked, "Where am I?"

Flamdramon was about to answer when little Mo quickly answered back, "Hi new play buddy! You're here at my house, see?" He gestured with his little arm towards the small hut not to far away.

"W-who are you?" the little human asked, beginning to shiver.

"Who, me?" Mo asked. "I'm Mo! Hi there! I'm a DemiVeemon! And this is my uncle Flamdramon!"

"Greetings, little human. I was the one who saved you from the fire," Flamdramon said, bowing politly.

"Oh, it was your house that was on fire! So, why did it start burning? Did you make a Pyromon mad?" (note, I have no idea if there is a pyromon, but i'm pretty sure I heard of one) Mo asked.

The human shook her head sadly and said, "No, but two mean Digimon set it on fire. I think," she paused to look warily at the two friendly Digimon in front of her, then continued, "they were looking for me."

"Did you do something bad to them?" Mo asked, not in a mean way.

Again, the girl shook her head sadly. "I don't think so," was her soft answer. Mo shrugged and started jumping up and down.

"So," he asked. "what's your name, humon?"

She looked at Flamdramon, then at a hyper Mo, then back at Flamdramon.

"They call me," the girl said, a smile growing on her face. "Ember."

And so begins the adventures of Ember and Mo. Check out my story Digital World XD to see what Ember grows up to be and her great adventures with Mo and her team Night Wolf.
