A Life Undeserved Chapter 3: Bring me to life, a digimon fanfic

She couldn't feel her arms

She couldn't feel her arms. She couldn't feel her legs. Her body was a vague memory that she couldn't quite grasp. Pain was buzzing around her, consuming her thoughts. It was all she could think of. Memories were swirling around her mind…She could remember a hot, relentless fever. She could remember her insides burning, as if someone had poured acid down her throat. She remembered Lance's eyes, wide and as stunningly green as ever. Slowly, she opened her eyes and found them locked onto another pair of floating golden orbs.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

A black body twisted above her, giggling demonically. She groaned and pushed herself up…which was odd, because she had no body. At least, not a regular body. Instead…Instead…

"HOLY SHIT I'M A CAT!!"

The creature above her laughed hysterically, rolling onto it's back and kicking it's feet in the air. It had large ears and long, vibrant turquoise hair that stuck out from it's head. As said before, it's eyes were golden, and it didn't seem to have a mouth. White markings twisted around it's body, which was rather slender.

"W-what's going on??" Kali asked, eyes wide and mouth gaping. She was black, for one thing, and had markings the color of that thing's hair. Her own hair was on her head, golden and red and the color of fire. At least that hadn't changed.

"You're asleep. Your body is gone, and your soul went to sleep." The thing said. She heard only giggles and odd sounds, but she somehow understood it.

"But I…I thought I…I used the disks…I killed myself…" She blinked, unbelievably confused.

"In the digital world…" The thing whispered. "But not in the human world…In the human world, it's time for your soul to reawaken…"

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Kali gasped as the thing placed a spindly hand on her chest, pushing it through to where her heart was. She didn't feel her heart beating, though. Only cold. It was as if ice had collected in her chest…

The thing pulled it's hand back and in it was a blue crystal. In it's middle a small bit of red sat, pulsating and turning the rest of the crystal purple.

"What…what is…"

"A soul crystal." The thing giggled. "Your soul crystal. The red is your life…see how small it is?"

She blinked and looked at it. Was she…really still alive?
"Where's my body?" She asked hoarsely.

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

"Inside me." The thing whispered, leaning in and pressing it's lips to hers. She felt something warm rush into her, rushing down to her toes and inflating her, warming her. It pulled away with a giggle and did a flip, watching as she rediscovered her body. Her wonderful, naked body. Oddly enough, she didn't even care that she was naked. She was just happy to have her body back!

"How did you…"

"I shan't tell…I can't tell…But I can tell you this…You cannot get back to the human world alone."

Kali blinked. "Are you bringing me?"
"No." It said, shaking it's head. "Someone must pull you back…"

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

"How do they do that? What…I mean…"

It giggled it's demonic little laugh, flipping again and spinning around her, floating upside down and clapping it's hands.

"They must pull you back…They must want you back. If they don't, you stay here forever. Within 24 hours your body will be gone, and you will be my playmate." It laughed. "Good luck…" It whispered, fading into blackness.

Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

She couldn't see a thing, but she could hear. Something was going on around her…She could hear Meg.

"Shade, quickly!!" She was saying, begging the Beelzemon.
"We're there!!" She heard Shade say.

She could hear Lance, a gunshot, and a strangled cry. She felt a cry rise up in her own throat, and she choked on it, letting it gurgle out. She heard Lance stop moving on what sounded like stairs, shuffling a bit. "Kali..?" He whispered her name. His voice was hoarse, as if he had been yelling, or crying.

"Lance?? Lance what did you do??" She asked hoarsely.

"Where are you?!" His voice was breaking. "KALI!?"

"LANCE!!" she heard Meg's hysteric cry, six sets of feet on stairs. What was going on?? What was she missing?! She heard Meg's shouting give out and choke into hysteric sobs, and heard Lance screaming for her again. What had happened?! What was going on?!

"How could you??" Someone was saying. Hime, she realized, pressing her hand up against a wall she couldn't see. "Do you think she'd want this?! Do you think that becoming a murderer would help anything?!" The black cat Digimon was screeching now.

"No…no, SHUT UP!! Shut up, all of you!!" She heard a gun cock, and her eyes widened. What was HAPPENING!? "I heard her!!" Lance squeezed out, his voice shaking. "She…she said my name. She asked a question, I HEARD HER!!" He shouted, slamming something metal against a wooden object.

"She's dead!! And now Pa's dead too! It's all your fault!!" Meg screamed. "I'LL KILL YOU!!"

"MEG NO!!" Kali shouted, slamming both her fists against the wall. What had happened!? Why was Pa dead?! What had Lance done!?

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

"Kali??" The whole room seemed to have frozen, she couldn't hear them moving.

"I told you I heard her…" Lance was sobbing, his voice cracking, choking over his words.

"What happened?? What did you do??" She asked, pressing against the wall and squeezing her eyes shut. "Meg, Lance, what did you do??" She was scared, crying at what she dreaded him to say. "Lance…Lance tell me!"

"Kali…Kali please come back…!" Lance pleaded. She felt something warm tugging at her chest, and felt a dul beat. "I need you." He choked again.

"You don't deserve her!!" Hime shouted.

"You don't deserve anything." Meg hissed, hate dripping from her voice.

"No, No Kali don't Listen to them!" Lance was sobbing hysterically now, completely broken down. She had to get to him. Slamming against the wall, she strained to get through, to find out what was going on. She had to get to Lance. She had to get to Meg.

'Come back…' she heard a whisper, and a frustrated shout from whatever that thing had been. Then, she fell through the wall. Her stomach dropped, and she fell like she was floating. The dull thud in her chest strengthened so much it shook her body. Her fingertips tingled, her ears buzzed, and there was a tickling sensation in her feet as she landed lightly on the ground, looking at all of them with stunned eyes.

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
