Horizons 8

He was almost there. Yes! Almost there. Hang on Sora. Matt went to put his foot on his breaks but found something wrong with them. What the hell? Why aren't my brakes working? Could it have been Sora's stalker? No! The car started to speed up and suddenly the car lost control and headed off into the woods. He realized in horror that he would never make it to Sora, even though he was so close.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken smiled at his handy work. He nailed the front and back doors shut. Let's see her trying to get out. He then walked back to Sora and held the cup of water over her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crash! Matt lost consciousness as his airbag came out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Splash!

Sora was shocked back to consciousness and opened her eyes to find herself in an unpleasant situation.

"Thought you killed me? No, all you did was injure me. How do you like the water? Cold enough for you?" His lips curved in a cynical smile of contempt.

Sora tried to think hard about how to get out of this tight spot, but the pain on the back of her head kept distracting him. Oh Matt, I know you will come. You have to. I'll have to distract him somehow till then, but if he doesn't come…then I just have to stall till I think of something. "W-why? Why are you doing this?" Sora fought hard to not show her fear.

"Why? Why, you ask. Why would I want to hurt a Digidestined? Why would I want you to suffer? Why not go after Yolei? I know she had a crush on me. I could have picked her. I also could have picked Mimi, pretty girl, and sweet voice. I could've picked Kari, very pretty." He then walked over to her and sat on the same couch as Sora. By now, she was in a sitting position.

"So why me?"

"Well," he began. Ken lightly brushed a strand of hair out of her face. He saw her cringe and took pleasure in that. "You Sora, are the perfect person. Sure you are the eldest of the girls, but you are different. You're tougher than they are but so much more vulnerable. You are perfect. As a Digidestined, all of the others looked up to you and respected you the most. Why? Because you were like the mother of the group. Tk, Kari, and everyone considers you that, well except for Tai and Matt. Tai sees you as a sister and Matt sees you as more. Speaking of Tai and Matt…"

Her heart leapt into her throat at the thought of either of them being hurt. "What?! Damn it! Tell me what you did to them! You'd better not hurt either one of them! Or else…"

"Or else what?" Ken challenged, grabbing a chunk of hair and pulling her up onto her feet with him. "I really don't think you're in the position to make threats," he sneered.

Sora screamed as she was thrown into the wall for the second time. She now lay in a heap on the ground. She sat up slowly.

"No need to be worried, I typed a note in telling Tai to get back to Japan because his sister was injured."

"You didn't…you bastard…"

"Actually I didn't hurt Kari, but I'm not sure about Matt." He watched in pleasure as her face turned two shades lighter. But before I tell you what happened to him, I think you should know exactly why I am doing this. You are my target because in your college, there was a kid with brown hair and green eyes named Marcus Davis. Remember how you turned him down for one little date?"

She gasped in realization. "Y-y-you were Marcus? But how?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt's eyes fluttered open, and took him a minute to realize where and what happened. He slowly unbuckled his seatbelt, and opened the door. He stuttered out and gripped his head. Come on Matt, you've gotta get to Sora! It isn't that far from here. Just as Matt got a steady pace going, he soon collapsed on the ground, his world darkening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ever hear of hair dye and contacts? After the whole Digiworld thing, I was a little bitter and sent you that nasty note the day you left Japan. Of course, I did not have any intention on falling through with the threat, and when my parents and I moved to California, and enrolled in college, I had no idea you were there. I wore contacts and dyed my hair as a way of cleansing myself and trying to start a new and improved life, but…my parents died and I felt so alone. That's when I changed my name, and saw you at the same college, and developed a crush on you."

Sora listened, shocked, and speechless.

"I was even a few of your classes and we talked a little. The more we talked, the more I fell in love with you, but soon you would not give me the time of day. When I asked you to go out with me you turned me down and insulted me!" he angrily spat. "I thought that maybe it was who I was before, but when I changed, I still couldn't be accepted by you of anyone else!"

"Insult you? I did no such thing. I only told you I wasn't interested in you!" Sora protested heatedly, standing up.

"Well you could have said it in a nicer tone!"

"You're insane! All this because I was a Digidestined and I turned you down?" she asked incredulously. Her fists tightened. "How'd you find me? What did you do? Follow me and my entire career?"

"Precisely. It was a pleasure watching you," he said in a dreamy voice. "Especially seeing you walk around in those flimsy sexy nightgowns of yours." Ken then got closer to Sora and used his strength to pin her against the wall, securing her hands to the wall above her head with one of his strong hands.

Sora gasped as she tried to struggle out but found her attempts useless.

"Well, well, well, I've seen you've gone soft. And you were the tomboy?" he mocked.

"Let me go!"

"Oh but, I'm having too much fun," he said as his hand slowly crept up to the side of her leg and caressed it.

She gasped in fright at the realization of what he was doing. Oh no no no! She then heard him whisper, " Matt's car brake line has been cut." "No…" she whispered.

"Oh yes, and there's not a soul in the world who will save you now."

Her eyes snapped tightly shut. This can't be happening to me! Suddenly, she felt his lips press hard on hers. She couldn't stop him, so she used the only weapon she had. She lifted her foot and crushed his right foot with her heels and kneed him in the most painful part of his body.

Immediately, he released her and fell to the ground in pain. Damn her! That's it! I've killed of Matt and now she'll have to die too…if I can get up…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tears streamed down Sora's face as she thought of Matt. "Oh no! Damn it! Open!" She struggled in vain to try to get her door opened, but she then looked up and saw it nailed in shut.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Her eyes widened in horror at the sound of his voice. She quickly ran to the back door, but found it nailed. Damn it! She rushed in the living room downstairs and found him gone. Perspiration trailed down her neck leaving her with goosebumps. Now where'd he go? She took the opportunity and grabbed her keys from the hallway and a chair from the kitchen. She lifted up the chair and broke the huge windows with the chair. She was about to put it down when she felt it yanked out of her grip and thrown against the wall, smashed up. She turned around to stare in Ken's enraged black eyes. He gripped her arm tightly, fear rising in her.

He threw her away from the window with great force. "Ah!" she cried out in pain. I wish I was not wearing heals and a dress right now! Then I could easily fight back. She painfully tried to get up, but was kicked in the ribs. She looked up to see Ken staring at her coldly, as he produced a knife from his belt that was in a leather casing. He came closer and she brought her knees up and extended her legs, catching him hard in the stomach. He stuttered backwards and Sora ran towards the broken window, but did not get very far.

Ken tackled her, holding a knife in his hand. He turned her over and attempted to stab her, but she caught his hands, and fought against his strength to avoid being impaled in the neck. She struggled to move her legs under his weight, but found she could not. He was way too overpowering.

Sora closed her eyes, too tired to keep the dangerous object from entering her neck. But Matt flashed through her mind and gave her strength. She couldn't die without avenging him! She suddenly had newfound energy. Soon she was on top, trying to turn the knife to his neck. They wrestled in a useless effort to get the knife away from one another. Finally, Sora ended up on the bottom with Ken's left hand pinning her hands above her head on the floor.

He smiled dangerously at Sora. "If I can't have you, then no one can."

This little statement sent chills up and down her spine. She winced at the feel of the cold object against her silky smooth skin. She could feel Ken taunting her by lightly putting the knife on her skin so it would not cut it. He made a trail down her neck and up to her shirt. She heard him whisper, "Good-bye Sora." This made Sora's eyes close tight in defeat and fear. She did not want to see the knife coming. She couldn't bear it.

Ken smiled in triumph at the scared Sora. Such a pity I have to kill this beauty. Oh well, I will survive. He then lifted the knife above her neck…

Yes I know I left you all at another cliffhanger. Like it so far? Review if you like to. It is up to you. I don't want to twist anyone's arms.
