A/N: I don't mean to brag about my work but I just love how the chapters come out. All I do is write the name of the chapter and I think of the story to go with it.
Anyways, thank you to my reviewer crystalwolfberri and to all those who added this story to their favouritesand alerts! Enjoy chapter three!
Chapter three – Renamon, I need you!
"Get the hell out of my way, you weak creature." A beast-like Digimon snarled. He was a redish-orange creature, with a large yellow main. His fire lit tail wrapped around his muscular leg and his eyes were blank. He opened his mouth and gave a rather loud roar.
"F-Flaremon. What's gotten into you?" The poor yellow fox creature asked. She was on the ground, her head shakily looking up over the so called Flaremon.
Flaremon laughed, "dear Renamon. What happened to me is no concern of yours." His eyes looked down at her and he grinned devilly.
Renamon shook her head and stood up. She gathered her energy and charged at the Flaremon, only to be blown back.
"Now, I must defeat you, you pitiful Digimon." Fire began to swirl around Flaremon's body. "When you're done, your Tamer is next."
Renamon's eyes grew. "You will not hurt Rika!"
"Crimson Beast King Wave!" The fire from around his body charged at Renamon in the shape of a lion. Having no strength to escape, Renamon was hit. Her body began to crumble in the shape of Data.
"I'm sorry I failed you Rika." A tear slid down Renamon's furry cheek as her data vanished into the nights' air.
My eyes snapped open and I sat up. I rubbed the back of my neck which was stiff and hurt like hell. It was still dark out, except for the fact that the Data streams in the distance were still shining bright. I felt a body to my side shift and I looked over only to find Akiyama laying beside me. If it wasn't so dark out I probably would have screamed and shouted out 'Akiyama tried to rape me'. Mean, I know, but hey, it's in my nature to be.
I grabbed the blanket and stood up, placing it over top of Ryo. He was sleeping soundly, his body moving up and down to his silent breaths. He almost looked cute sleeping. Almost. I stretched and looked around. A small fire was still ablaze while a very tired looking Takato sat staring at it. I walked over to him.
"Wakey wakey," I said quietly.
Startled, he looked up and gave a half smile. "Hey."
I looked at him. The fire made his face illuminate softly. He yawned. "Go back to bed, Goggle Head. I'll take over the watch."
He nodded and stood, heading back to the small two-person tent that was pitched. When he entered I gave a loud sigh. The dream I had seemed only too real. Could it be possible that Renamon really died? Or was it a dream ... well ... nightmare. I didn't know and admittedly, I was scared to find out.
Slowly reaching behind me, I grabbed my D-Power. Clutching it tightly, I lifted it up about to look until ...
"Morning WildCat," came a tired voice. I snorted.
"It isn't morning."
Ryo grinned, "I know." He sat beside me and threw a near-by Digi-stick into the fire. "You should be resting, you could have drown today."
I shrugged. "It's odd, isn't it? I thought Wong and Goggle Head swam underwater last time we were here. But I just don't know why I al-"
"Almost drowned?" He finished for me nodding. "Everything has changed though, Rika. Maybe that changed too." He thought for a moment. "Or you were just pretending so I could come save you and give you mouth to mouth."
I almost puked at the thought, "grow up."
The D-Power was still in my hand. I wanted to look but what if something happened to her? I don't want Ryo to know. Finding a reason to be alone, I looked at him, "I'll be right back. I need to .. umm .. pee." He nodded and I left to walk into the very dead forest, I could almost feel his eyes on me.
After walking quite a way into the forest, I slumped up against a tree and heaved a great sigh. I wanted Renamon to be okay. I wanted to know she was still alive ... still with me. I lifted up the D-Power and closed my eyes, letting the suspense of the dream kill me. After several moments, I opened my eyes and looked at the screen.
I wanted to scream and shout. Hit things and curse. It couldn't be, it just couldn't be! Maybe the battery was dead! Yeah that's it! I fumbled the D-Power in my hands in attempts to find a battery pack. No such luck. I stood up and slammed my fists into the tree I was just leaning against. "The dream was real," I whispered to no one. A tear slid down my cheek as I looked at the screen again; it was gray and fuzzy. A sign that the Digimon is no longer alive. It's just like Jeri's when Leomon died. I hit the tree again, harder this time.
"What kind of dream was it? A dream where you were kissing me?" Ryo asked. He came out from behind the tree. I turned to face him, smacking him as hard as I could square in the jaw. He roared in pain as I collasped to my knees, tears sliding out like rain.
"I-I'm sorry Ryo." I said. Ryo rubbed his cheek and bent down beside me. He placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"It didn't hurt that bad so there is no need to cry over it," he smiled. I smacked off his hand and stood up. Tears were still escaping me. Ryo frowned. "What's wrong?"
I didn't want to tell him but a part of me was saying to do so. I slammed the D-Power into his chest. He grabbed it and looked down, a look of sympathy crossed his face. "Rika. Th-this can't be right. I mean. This couldn't have happened."
I wiped the tears off my face. "Well it's real!" I said sobbing. "I-I had a dream she was killed but it's real, Ryo! It is!"
Ryo tried to comfort me by pulling me into a hug. I pushed him away, looking at him in the eyes. Without realising it, I starting running, past Ryo and through the trees. My feet were dragging my body around trees. If I didn't know any better I'd say I was going to get lost, but at that moment I didn't care. I kept running.
Tree branches broke behind me, I had a feeling Ryo was probably following. I didn't care though, I didn't even stop to let him catch up. I just kept going. I ran for what seemed like hours; I was out of breath. My sides ached and my breaths hurt. Finally I came to a complete stop. Everything was quiet. "I probably lost him ages ago," I heaved.
I fell to the ground out of breath. My intakes were becoming faster and faster, I started to wonder if I was going to hypervenalate or die of loss breath. Still breathing hard, I looked around the scenario. I was near a small waterfall, surrounded by rocks and dead trees. Sighing and sweaty I crawled over to the rocks and layed against them, closing my eyes. Renamon is dead. It's impossible! Completely impossible!
After laying there for several minutes I heard gravel being kicked around. The kind of sound someone makes when they are walking across stones in sneakers. I figured it was probably just Ryo finally catching up. After several more breaths I spoke in a harsh tone, "leave me the hell alone."
A chuckle and a poem rang out:
" I smell a Digi-Brat sitting on my land.
With no one to protect her, no helping hand.
I killed her partner, I burnt her to a chrisp,
Now when I kill you it will all be in a wisp."
The voice was horrifying, yet familiar. The hairs on my neck stood up as I peeled open my eyes. Standing before me was the Digimon from my dream; Flaremon. His white eyes burning into mine. A toothy grin on his face, taking pleasure from his horrible poem. If it wasn't for the fact this Digimon was an enemy, I probably would have mocked his poem right in his face.
He raised his claw and fire surrounded it. Still looking at me, he ran toward me. I let out a blood curtling scream.
A/N: Gay chapter, I know. But I left you guys without a new chapter for like ever now, so I thought I would be nice and update. And I apologise for the random, dumb poem ... but atleast it rhymes -winks-. Also, sorry this chapter is uber short ... very very sorry for that, but I just don't really know what to say, so some suggestions ARE welcome!!
