Disclaimer: I will not apologize for not owning Digimon, because I know that one day I will, and when I do there will be Japanese subtitled versions for all! But until then, Bandai, Toei, and those other rich CEO bastards own it. ^--^ But, I do own Cordelia and her Digimon, so please don't take them.
A/N: This part takes place before the old digi-destined meet the new digi-destined. It will change later on. It's kind of confusing, and at times it's hard to know who's talking, but it's still good.
Prologue
I found him. Underneath the tree. His long brown hair matted from the pouring rain, and the blood trickling from his head. I couldn't bear to see him this way. His skin was so pale. I searched frantically for a pulse. A weak one. How could I move him? What could I do? He began to shiver. The freezing cold rain soaked him through. I couldn't hold back the tears. I wasn't used to seeing him so vulnerable and weak. The dark clouds swirled above my head. I was on my knees. My long wet hair fell in my face as I leaned over to look at my crest. Compassion. I grasped it in both my hands and silently mouthed a prayer. I asked for strength, and guidance, and help for Tai. Suddenly, he stirred. His trembling lips parted. My heart skipped a beat as he said, "it's coming." That was more than enough for me. I knew what I had to do. I picked him up with both my arms, and I ran as fast as I could. My feet slid on the wet grass, but I still ran. My breathing was erratic. My lungs were screaming for air. My muscles were aching with pain, but I kept on. The tears flowed freely now. They mixed with the falling rain. Why is he so heavy? I thought. Deadweight an unfamiliar voice echoed I the back of my head. "Shut up." I said silently. "Leave me alone" I cried. The darkness still had control over me.
A cliff came into my view. I skidded to halt. The boy dropped from my arms, and landed with a resounding thud. I lay on the wet ground panting. I could feel it coming. Advancing steadily. "I'm sorry Tai," I said. I rolled over to look at him. A sharp pain in my side made me double over in pain. I looked down on him. We were together at last. I smiled. "I'm sorry, you don't deserve this, Tai." He smiled weakly. "I don't deserve you," he said. His eyes fluttered closed. And that was it. Those few words spoke worlds to me. I understood everything. "Cordy," he whispered, "don't." He knew what I was going to do. "I love you," I whispered as I planted a soft kiss on his lips. He didn't say anything. He didn't have to. It was all in his eyes. His beautiful hazel eyes never lost their intensity, their passion. I stood up, grasping my side. Shattered ribs made breathing difficult, but I understood, he told me everything. My crest grew warm. A soft glow emitted. My legs were shaking. I was going to protect him, and I was going to die trying. It came closer. Silently tracking its prey. Lurking in the shadows. No. It was the shadows. Surrounding me. The tears rolled down my face. A million images flashed in front of my eyes. Images of Tai and me. Together. I could feel his pain mixed with my own emotions. It was strong. Overpowering. But I stood firmly. Hope filled my heart. Running. I'm forever running from the darkness. The enemy I can't see.
