Chapter 1


Kari lay in bed, terrified of falling asleep. They were coming again.
The dreams, the dark dreams of that terrible place. Gatomon was not here to
save her if she gave in. Gatomon was back in the digital world...and TK,
right now she didn't think he could care less about what happened to her...
she couldn't fight it any more she slowly drifted into sleep.
*
Kari awoke in a cold sweat. The nightmares were getting worse. They
wanted her, even more than before. She forced herself out of bed and
immidiatly turned on the light. She couldn't stand the dark. It frighted her
more than ever. She would stay awake till morning.
*
" Must stay awake. " Kari mumbled to herself as she trudged up to
school. She walked alone today, because Yolei was on a trip, she didn't want
to walk with Tk and Cody, and especially not Davis who was trying a little
to hard to make her feel better after the fight she had with Tk.

She sat down in her desk. Tk didn't even turn to look. The teacher
droning on about some boring science lesson. Kari felt the darkness building
around her, her fear grew. She could see the ocean again, just like last time
but now there was a feeling of evil, even darker than before.

" Kari! If you are not going to pay attention I'm going to have to

ask you to leave the classroom! " The teacher snapped sharply.

Kari came back to the room.

" I... I'm sorry... " She stuttered standing up. She collapsed. The girl behind Kari helped her to her feet.

" Are you feeling alright? " the teacher asked.

Kari just shook her head dazed as her friend helped her to her feet.

" Would you like to go to the nurses office? "

Tk gave her a funny look, it was happening just like last time.

" Is she really being attacked? Or is she just sick? Or is she just faking to make me worry? No Kari wouldn't fake. "

Kari paused before answering it was happening just like it had before. If she went out in the hall alone they would attack her again... even more fiercly.

" Y..yes but can Tori come with me? I... I don't want to fall again."
Kari stammered.

" Tori? " The teacher asked.

The girl behind Kari shrugged. " Sure I'll go. "

She held Karis arm as she stumbled towards the door.

" There's definatly somthing wrong here... she dosen't want to be alone. Something came to her in the hallway last time... something she dosen't want to meet again." Tk clenched his fists. It really was happening again.
*

After class Tk went to the nurses office.

" Ummm... is Kari here? " he asked. Afraid of the answer.

"Yes she is, but she's sleeping now. You'll have to come back later."
The nurse smiled.

Tk sighed with relief. Kari seemed to be sleepimg peacfully. There was no need to worry. Maybe she was just sick after all.

" Besides she dosen't need me right? That's basically what she said earlier. " Tk thought back to there fight. " What were we fighting about anyway? " he wondered as he headed to the gym for basketball practice.

Tk was warming up with the rest of the team. " Where's Davis he's usually here by now. " Tk wondered " Ah, he probably went to see Kari. " Tk felt a pang of jealousy. He shook it off. " Why do I care? " he told himself sharply.

Davis jogged in. " Hey Td "

" It's Tk Davis. " Tk said becoming very annoyed.

" Yeah whatever, anyway, I was just thinkin, I mean it's great for me that Kari's not crazy about you right now and all but... you two've really gotta make up. She's just nor herself at all. I think she misses you she's just scared to admit it. "

Tk didn't answer he turned toward the coach.

Davis just shook his head. " Fine whatever don't listen to me."

Cody came and sat by Karis' bed. " Hey, Davis told me you weren't feeling well. So I came to say hi. "

Kari smiled tiredly. " Thanks Cody. "

" You really don't look so good, you should try to get some sleep. " he said standing up tp leave.

" I can't go to sleep. " Kari whispered.

" Why is something wrong? " Cody asked uncertainly. Kari shook her head blankly.

" N..no. "

Drip...

Her eyes widened.

" Are you sure you're okay? " Cody asked as he began to leave.

" Y..yes I'm su...sure. " Kari stuttered.

Drip... drip...

Cody left the room. Kari sat up instantly. " Get away from me get out of my head. " She murmured franticly.

Drip...drip...drip... she could hear waves crashing, fell a slight mist on her face.

" NO! " she got up and walked out of the nurses office as quickly as she could.

Tk was just walking outside getting ready to go home. He saw Kari walk out the side door very quickly. She looked scared...

He turned away. The biggest mistake of his life was turning away from her right then.

Drip...drip... Kari broke out into a run... drip...drip...she didn't know where she was going. When she finally stopped to catch her breath she looked up. She was there. The waves crashed ominously before her. She fell to her knees in despair. It had caught up with her. She was trapped in the dark ocean...alone. And no one would be able ot save her.
