A tall man stands in a dark room

He starts to laugh

A tube looking thing rises from the ground and a scream is heard

Footsteps and panting

The images of someone running in fear

"Ah!" Kari jumps into sitting position in bed

She clutches her head

"Oh god….."

The same dream every night, since it happened

She shakes her head and lays back down…

Things hadn't been the same between her and Ken since that night

A tear falls from her brown glowing eyes

The room is dark

Had Matt forgotten?

He didn't treat her like his baby sister anymore, was it because of what happened?

Tk didn't know, neither did Davis, Yolie, Tai, Mimi, Izzy, Joe, Cody, no one…..

She didn't even tell Gatomon

It was a secret

Not a good one, but one that had surfaced

Only the four of them knew

And inside each of their souls, this secret burned

Lightning shatters and breaks her thoughts

"No!" She covers her head with the blankets

Gatomon tosses a little bit

Kari stands up and heads for the washroom

She stands in front of the mirror

She sighs

"Get a grip…."

She shakes her head and splashes some water on her face

A loud thud comes from the kitchen

"…Augumon?"

Kari walks out of the bathroom

Kari is walking slowly and suddenly she trips and falls forward

"Ah!" She knocks over a little coffee table

She is sitting on the ground now

She slowly stands and picks the table back up

There is a knock on the door that makes Kari look up.

She looks at the clock

2:00 AM

She slowly walks back wards until she reaches the doorway to the hallway

She shakes her head and clutches the door frame

Tai was home for the weekend, he went back to school tomorrow

There was a knock, harder, more like someone forcing the door to open

She hesitated, then turned down the hall and ran to Tai's room

Their apartment was small, but it was her home

She went straight to his room

"Tai…"

she went to his bed and started to push at his shoulder

"Tai! Tai get up Tai…"

"Eerrm… Kari? What do you want?"

"Just get up."

"Its 2:00 Am Kari, what?"

"There's someone at the door!"

"At 2:00 Am?"

Tai jumped out of bed

He walks fast out of the room

Kari follows

Tai turns around and grabs his baseball bat

Kari looks at him, eyes wide open, freaked

"For precautions…"

She nods

They walk slowly to the door

Tai opens it

Left…then right…

"No one's there Kari…" Tai was about to close the door when……..

"Wahhhhhhhhh!"

Kari looks down

"A baby!"

Kari kneels down and lifts the tiny infant into her arms

"Why is he here!" Tai asked

He puts his hand on his head

"Who just leaves a baby on a porch step?"

Kari looks up at her brother

"Can we keep him!" Kari asks, pretending to be a little kid

"What will mom say?"

"Well its cold out here, lets take it in"

"Is IT a boy or girl?"

"It's a boy…"

"Wonder who left em?" Tai flops down on the couch

"He's a cutie" Kari says giggling

The baby looks up and looks into Kari's eyes

"Mama…"

There is dead silence

"What it call you?":

Tai stands up

"What the…?"

The baby's body begins to shake

"Tai!"

Kari holds the child tighter

Tai turns on the light over the sofa

He takes the kid from Kari

"gAHHHHH" the baby's scream is chilling

The light bulb shatters

Kari backs into a wall

The window flies open

"What the hell!" Tai shouts
He puts the baby on the couch and runs over to Kari

Holding onto her shoulders he looks at her

"You okay?"

She nods

She then runs to the baby

"Kari no! Get away from it!"

"I think its in pain Tai…"

She touches it and a white light appears at her finger tips

The baby screams and Kari's eyes widen

"Were going to the cops Kari…"

He laughs
