Chapter 1 - Tamer

I fell down to the floor in shock and awe. Had that bird really just spoken to me? Maybe this was a dream too, maybe it's a nightmare! There was absolutely no way that this was actually happening. Except, I could actually feel this bird. It fluttered up into the air.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?!" the bird squawked. It began pecking at my head.

"Ow!" I shouted, "Stop that!"

The bird stopped immediately and began saying again, "Hi! My name's Birdmon! Pleased to meet you, my new tamer!"

"Huh?!" I wandered out loud, "What's a tamer?"

"A tamer is a human that has been partnered with a digimon, like me." Birdmon explained, "And I have been chosen to be YOUR partner."

"But, I don't want a digiman or whatever." I told Birdmon.

"Digimon." It corrected me, "And you don't really have a choice about this."

"Oh yeah?!" I challenged.

"Yeah!" Birdmon grunted back.

"Well then, I'll just ignore you." I told the digimon.

"If you can." sneered back Birdmon.

"Grrrrr…" I mumbled under my breath.

"Humph." Birdmon huffed at me.

I glared at Birdmon for a second and then walked out of my room. I began walking down stairs, and then I noticed the pesky bird was following me! I glared at it again and then continued down the stairs. When I was down, I quickly raced to the nearest room to get away from this stupid digimon. I ran into the washroom and quickly slammed the door.

"You can't get rid of me that easily." I heard a voice from behind me.

"ARGGHH!" I shouted at Birdmon as I turned around to glare at it again.

"If you keep acting like that…" the bird threatened me.

"What?" I questioned. "What will you do?"

""Razor Wing!" Birdmon shouted.

He lifted up his two wings and whipped them forward. Feathers shot off of Birdmon's wings straight at me! I gasped and dived out of the way. The feathers sliced right into the toilet! Those were friggin' sharp!

"Is that the way to treat your tamer?!" I screamed at it.

Birdmon looked surprised and asked, "So you admit that we're partners?"

"Fine!" I shouted.

I walked over to the toilet and picked the feathers out of it. I looked at the toilet, and there were two big gashes going right through the lid!

"Now look what you did!" I yelled at Birdmon.

"Yeah, whatever…" Birdmon said.

"Now you listen here, punk! Do one more thing like that, and I'll send you to a slaughter house, or something!" I told Birdmon.

"You wouldn't dare!" Birdmon countered.

"I would." I sneered back.

"Now go back upstairs and get your digivice." It told me.

"My what?" I questioned.

"Your digivice." It slowly said every syllable. "It's a data book. It's sort of like a dictionary for digimon. You can look up information on any digimon you want." Birdmon explained to me.

"And where exactly do I get one of those things?" I asked.

"It's that red thing that I popped out of." Birdmon said, "It can also be used as a compass to locate me." It continued.

So, I trudged out of the washroom and up the stairs.

"I think this is going to be too much work…" I complained.
