Four again
Ken's part:
I ran and ran and turned around again to see if the two shadows were still following me. They were only a few steps away from me and I ran...
But suddenly the whole world around me changed and collapsed. I was standing on the very last edge of a way, that was hanging in the air. Behind me I could still see the pursuers...
I gasped, turned around again and was running. Everything was immaterial, I only wanted to flee those two shdows, those creatures, who were following me. I lost the ground under my feet and fell...deep... deep... deep...
I opened my eyes and wanted to sit up. Dreanched in sweat, shocked and afraid. But my plan was crossed by a bad headache, that was flashing through my head and I had to lay down again. I groaned with pain and tried to remember, what had happened before I had been hounted in my dream.
Voices... two... voices in the darkness...
Because of thinking my head ached even more and I stopped doing so. Instead of that I leaned onto my hands and looked around.
I still was lying in the cave – alone!
„Matt?!", I shouted. My head only hurt more from that, but I prefered having aches than being alone, without Matt in the digiworld!
What if the two shadows had took Matt with them?
What if he had been hurt or even had died?!
I didn't want to think too much about what could have happened. I rather stood up – slowly, very slowly – and called for Matt again.
„MATT! MATT! YAMATO! MATT! Matt! Matt...I...aww..."
Powerless I fell down. I nearly had seriously began to cry, when someone (or something) was throwing his shadow on me.
„Ken. Ken, how are you?"
I identified the voice, turned around and – couldn't believe, what I saw. In front of me stood, with a wry smile on his face, Tai.
„TAI! It's you! What are you doing here – and where the hell is Matt? Awww... my head..."
Tai looked at me, scratched his head and said: „Think, you owe that aches to me..."
„What?!"
„Well, yesterday when Dave and I..."
„Davis is here, too?!"
„Yes. But as I said: Yesterday, when Dave and I entered this cave, we thought, someone evil would be here and so I... I knocked you down..."
His voice had turned into a silently, sheepishly something and now he looked at me very ashamed.
„Then that yesterday... have been YOU?!", I suddenly realized.
„Yes. But afterwards Matt woke up and bowled us out..."
„And that was the best thing he could've done!", I shouted, jumped up and grabbed Tai at his throat. Now I was really angry!
„Ken... say, are you crazy?", said Tai stertorous and looked at me in fear.
„If I'm crazy?!", I shouted, even more angry than before „My brain is the most dangerous weapon on earth, and everyone who hurts it, has to die!"
„The most... well... your hands... are very dangerous... too... you know..."
„I'll show you, what my hands can do, when I'm really angry! I'm going to..."
„SAY KEN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE?!", Matt stood in the entrance of the cave and looked at me with fury in his eyes „That's Tai, who you're killing there! TA-AI!"
I looked thunderstrucked at my hands.
What the heck am I doing?!
As if stung by an adder I stopped strangling Tai, who fell down on the floor. Then I sat down.
Why did I do that? Why did I want to kill Tai? Am I completely crazy...? But... for one moment I thought just like five years ago... like I'd been the digimon emperor again...
„What kind of action has that been?!"
I looked up. In front of me stood Davis, with wide opened eyes and stared at me.
„You nearly killed me...", Tai added.
„I know... I...", I began „I reacted just like in former times..."
„What do you mean?! Like in former times?", Tai and Davis shouted with one voice.
„I think", Matt said „he means: Like five years ago, when he'd been the digimon emperor, right Ken?"
I simply nodded and stared at the floor. My head wasn't aching anymore, I just had a really bad conscience.
„Anyway", Tai stood up and stretched himself „we're four again. And the others can't be that far away, can they?"
„Right!", Davis stood up, too „The best thing is, we go search for them! Maybe we should split up, then we could..."
„And then we lose each other, yes?", Matt asked unbelieving and raised an eyebrow.
„NO! We meet here again and..."
„And you're sure that your „sense of direction" can bring you back here?", Tai grinned.
Davis' cheeks went red and he looked down on the floor.
„Okay, I have to admit that it wasn't a good idea.", he said quietly „But when we search for them together, it'll take even longer."
„Well, I don't think, it will take that much time.", Tai said.
„Yeah, yeah. But don't say that I haven't warned you afterwards...", Davis crossed his arms while doing his „I'm-much-more-clever-than-anyone-else-and-everything-I-say-is-true"-expression.
The other ones bursted out laughing and so I just had to do so, too...
