chapter 2

(Zoe's POV)

I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door next to Koichi. I was walking when suddenly a hand touched my shoulder. I wanted to scream but the hand was over my mouth. Takuya, he was right there. Why didn't he see me? How couldn't he see me being taken away? It was up to me now to save myself. I bit the strangers hand and kicked him in the shin. He let go. I turned around to face him and it was, oh no! Sam. The sweet guy from my science class and the one who Takuya and Kouji hate for some reason. I helped him off the ground. "Sam, are you ok?"i asked. He looked at me with those choclate brown eyes. They always reminded me of Takuya's eyes. "Yeah. Wow Zoe, you can really kick a guy."

"thanks!" I looked at him. He was so nice, sweet,sensitive and gentle. But, he wasn't like Takuya. That's why i don't like him like that. Takuya stole my heart ever since I met him in the Digital World. Sure, we fought but thats what made us closer. The only thing is he doesn't love me. I knew that he wanted us to be only friends but i can't help it. He is so much better around me than before. I sighed. Now i had a serious look on my face. "Why did you scare like that?!" I was going to slap him but I remembered that slapping doesn't always cure the problem. I am a much nicer person than I was before. Now, I can get along with almost everyone. Let's just say everyone has changed. Kouji is more open and MUCH nicer,Koichi well, he never did change, JP is uhhh.....ok he is still obssessed over me, Tommy is tall and he has many friends. He also gets along well with his brotherand Takuya. He has changed the most. He's not hott-headed,selfish or rude. He's now great to be around and is the oppisite of mostly everything negitive. I know, my thoughts are getting wwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy off the subject of how i thought i was getting kidnapped. "Well, I didn't think i would freak you out that much." He smiled. "I needed to talk to you in private Zoe." Ok now i was confused. "Why didn't you just ask me instead of dragging away from my friends?" "Well, I know Kouji and Takuya don't like me very much so, i just thought this would he better." He was now pulling me farther down into the main hall. He opened a door and pushed me inside."Where are we?" i asked. I knew this wasn't safe to be with him in here. I hardly know the guy. "In the teacher's lounge. Why?" I sat on a couch. Something was telling me to get out and fast. "Listen Sam. I would love to talk right now but the guys are probably worried about me. How about we talk on monday?" I suggested now a little frightended. He was getting closer to me. I backed up to find-to my horror- a wall and know escape. I felt his hands touching my hips. He was going to kiss me!"Listen, Sam, i'm sorry but i don't feel this way about you. Please stop it!" He wasn't going to stop! "No Zoe. I love you. I think you're so sexy. Please, let me just kiss you. Maybe we could even..." He was licking my neck! Gross! I cou;dn't let this happen to me! Never!"No! Not ever with you!" I tried pushing him back but now he was undoing my shirt! "Help!" I screamed. I started crying."Know can hear you Zoe!"he whispered in my ear. Those words struck me like hundreds of knifes were stabbing me inthe back. No one can hear me?

(Takuya's POV)

I called out to Zoe. The guys were doing the same. "Zoe! Zoe!" I was the same over and over again. What if she was hurt or was in trouble? The question stabbed me in the back.

(flashback)

Zoe was sitting on a log looking at the forest below. Everyone was sleeping except for her. She suddenly heard something coming toward her. "What are you doing up?" asked a fimilar voice."Takuya?" "The one and only." He sat down next to her. "You still haven't answered my question." he said. "Couldn't sleep. I just thought i could have some alone time." he looked at her deeply. "You're lying." Zoe was taken back on that. "No i certainly am not!" "Yes you are. You're not looking me straight in the eye. Com'on Zoe, you can tell me. i'm hear for you. Always." Zoe had never had anyone say something like that to her before. "Thanks Takuya. Do you promise not to laugh though?" "Zoe...." " ok. I'm.....ahhhh......I-Im scared." "Zoe....it's" " I know Takuya that you think I'm so kind of idiot but I'm scared because I feel like Lucemon is going to destroy you and Kouji and then after he's going to kill me too. I don't think I'm strong. I know that I will fail and he will torture me before killing me." Zoe was now crying."Zoe, please don't interupt me this time. I don't think you're an idiot. It's ok to be scared. I'm scared too but Zoe please don't cry. I don't like it. I want to see you happy again. Besides, don't worry because we are going to win no matter what and whatever does happen I will never let anything happen to you! Never!" Zoe stared at him and smiled. "Takuya, thank you. No one has ever said anything like that to me. Never!" Zoe reached out and hugged him. Takuya blushed but then returned it back.

(end flashback)

He turned to the guys. "Were never going to find Zoe if we stick together. We have to split up. Kouji and I will go this way and Koichi, you and JP will go that way. Agreed?" They all nooded and headed in different directions. "Wait! Takuya!" JP ran towards me. "Where are we going to meet up?" I looked around. "Come back in an hour right here." JP ran off again while Kouji and I shouted "Zoe!" It was about 15 minutes when I heard someone scream. "It came from over there!" Kouji shouted. We started sprinting down right. Wherever you are Zoe, I'm coming!"

Will Takuya and Kouji be able to find Zoe? Will Zoe ever escape from Sam? What will he do to Zoe? Please R&R! Find out next time.
