Chapter 9
Warning
Sora wondered in a grayish-purple forest that felt like there was nothing left in it but sorrow and pain. She shuttered and continued walking. Then, with no warning, a hand came out from behind a tree and tried to grab her. Sora yelled in fright and started to run. As she ran, she kept on hearing her name over and over again. "What do you want with me?" Sora yelled back. She slowed down and looked around in fear. "The one with pain is the key. The one with sorrow will set us free. He's coming for you. He got his prey. He wants the key. He wants for you to set him free." The voices mumbled over and over again. Sora covered her ears and sank to the floor. "Why are you telling me this?" Sora yelled back. She felt two pairs of strong arms on her shoulders and she screamed. "Get away!"
"Sora! It's me! It's Matt." Sora looked up and saw that it was Matt. He smiled when he saw her face.
"Oh Matt, I was so scared." Sora said and buried her face into his chest. Matt's arms wrapped around Sora into a hug.
"Don't worry. I'm here for you. I came here for you." Sora opened her eyes and moved away from Matt. His eyes changed from sapphire to pure red.
"You're not Matt...are you?" Sora said starting to get scared. He smiled evilly and dangerously.
"I want to be free. And you're going to help me." Matt said. Sora got up and ran away from him, not caring if her skin and cloth was getting cut up. The trees continued to say the same things over and over again in Sora's ears. She tripped over a tree root and landed on the floor. She sat on her knees and prayed that this was just a dream.
"Oh but this is as real as real life, Sora. And you won't get to see the light of day ever again. Set me free!" Matt, or the person controlling him, said. Sora looked up and saw that he held a blade in his hand, getting ready to kill her. When the blade started to come down, Sora screamed.
Sora woke up with a start. Cold sweet feel down from her head as she breathed heavily. She looked at her hand and gasped. That thing was right; it was like it really happened. Cuts and bruises were all over her arms and legs. She checked her cloth and saw that they were ripped as well. The words of the trees continued to hunt her mind as she tried to calm down. She got up and walked to her window. Was she ready to go save Mimi? Part of her wanted to say here and stay away from Matt. But the other part said to go and save her best friend. No. I don't care if Matt's going or not. I have to save Mimi. There's no other way. Even if what the tree said was a warning. Or was it? But...it was so real. Sora looked out side and saw that it was raining. It's raining under water? Wait, this is the Digital World. Anything's possible. Her mind went back to what happened in Gennai's living room. She was lost in her own thoughts until she heard Matt's voice. Sora shooked her head and went back to her bed.
Sora walked in a long and dark hallway that was only lit by torches. As she continued walking, a figured walked out from a corner and stopped right in front of her. Sora squinted her eyes to see you the figure was but saw...nothing. She backed away but heard that the figure was walking towards her. "Sora. Sora. Set us free, Sora." the shadow said in a shallow voice. Sora covered her ears and mumbled words over and over again. "It's not real. This isn't real" Sora said to herself. Hands roughly grabbed her arms and pushed her to the wall. She tried to scream but nothing came out.
"You're the one. Help us wonder freely, Sora." Sora looked at the shadowed face in fear. What did it want from her? The face grew closer and the face grew clearer. She shooked her head slowly as she stared in its eyes. "No. No! You're not Mimi! Get away!" Sora mouthed in horror. First it was Matt. And now...Mimi? Sora tried to push away from Mimi but found that Mimi's strength grew much stronger at every struggle. Mimi's nails ripped into Sora skin. Small amount of blood trickled down her skin.
"Sora...help me." the fake Mimi said. Sora looked at her for a moment and thought that it was really the Mimi that's like a sister to her. Her eyes turned from honey brown to bright red. "Sora...help me escape. The one with pain is the key. The one with sorrow will set us free. I'm coming for you. I got my prey. I want the key. I want for you to set me free." Mimi said making Sora scream for dear life.
For the seconded time, Sora woke up in cold sweat. She felt the spot where Mimi's nails went into her skin. Two times. Two times this happened! First Matt. Now Mimi? Why them? I have to ask Gennai tomorrow. What does these dreams mean? Should I take these as a warning? Sora thought. She looked back out the window and saw that the storm got worst. Did I make the storm when I was sleeping? I could have. I do have the power over storms. I hope it clears by tomorrow. Sora laid back down and stared at the ceiling. She couldn't go back to sleep know. What would happen if she had another dream like that one again? Sora couldn't let anyone find out about those dreams. Especially Tai and Matt. There was no way that she would tell them. "Tai have enough worries on him. And Matt, lets just say that I'm not talking to him for a while until I can forgive him. Even though every moment that I don't talk to him, breaks my heart to a million little pieces." Sora said to herself. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to get up.
Short but good at the same time. But the new question here would be: What in the world is Sora's dream about? I'm guessing that we're going to find out later on.
