Chapter 14: Worries and The Castle

Pov Tai's

Location: Human World

I try to not look at my girlfriend leave with Vampriamon, but it's too hard. I know that I may never see her again, and yet I still hold onto a thread of hope that I will.

"Why didn't you stop her?" her mom asks, blotting her tears.

"She had her mind made up already. Plus I trust her with all my heart and soul." I say, a deep pain in my heart causes me to hold my side. I notice Matt, Kari, and Sora looking at me with concern in their eyes.

"Tai, are you okay?" my sister asks knowing I won't say anything unless she mentions it.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just miss Kelsey a lot, it's like there is a huge hole where my heart should be."

I see her mom walk over to me and put her hand on my shoulder.

"Tai, you're the first guy I actually approve of Kelsey dating. Now I know that I made the right choice." she says smiling on the last part.

"Who did she date before?" I blurt out, jealousy burning in my eyes of her with another guy.

"She dated this guy named Joseph. He was stupid, but he was her first crush. Don't worry though, she has no feelings for that jerk." Kelsey's mom replies.

I visibly sigh in relief," Thank god, I didn't want to have to be a jealous boyfriend."

Several of my friends laugh.

"Nice one Tai." Matt says.

"It's true though, if he tries to get back together with her and she likes me more I will punch him." I state, a hidden fire burning in my eyes.

I absent mindedly pull out my cell phone, subconsciously hearing my song dedicated to Kels. In the midst of Izzy and her mom talking my phone starts ringing. I glance at it.

"What is it, Tai?" Sora asks.

"I got a new text message."

"Open it!" The whole group shouts at me. I read over it quickly, a small smile creeping across my face while doing so.

"What does it say?" Kelsey's mom asks, clearly hoping she's okay.

"It says, 'Tai, I'm okay. No need to worry. The palace is beautiful, I'll send an e-mail via D-terminal to Izzy to tell you guys what info I find. So far I got word that Nefretmon's old Master, when she was good, was the Angel of Darkness. I have no idea how that relates to me, however I am told that I'm a lot like her. I'll text you every so often. I'll come back home for the nights or for weekends/holidays. XOXOXO, Kels.'" I read the message out loud leaving out the part meant for me.

"Oh god, I knew I should have said something." Her mom says, worry etched on her face.

"What do you mean?" Sora asks cautiously.

"Well only three people are reincarnated from the three Angels. Kelsey is the reincarnation of the Angel of Darkness. I don't know who the other two are, but I know she's close to them and that one's female and the other male."

All of a sudden my phone chimes. I slide it up and press the center button. I read the message, a small blush graces my face as well as a phantom of a smile.

"Who was it?" Kari asks, smiling like Gatomon. I really hate it when she does that.

"None of your business." I retort clearly blushing. I see her mom looking at me and smiling. It was like she knew why I was happy.

"I really hope that nothing bad happens to her. She doesn't deserve whatever Nefretmon has planned. I swear if that demon forces her to do anything against her will, I will kill that she-devil with my bare hands." I mutter in a dark and menacing voice, not knowing what she will have to do. No one hears me which is good, they don't need to know the panic that's going on in my heart.

"Mrs. Lee?" Sora asks Kelsey's mom.

"Yes, Sora?" She asks, looking up from what she was writing.

"Is there any speakers for I-pods here?"

"Why?"

Sora smiles shyly, "Well, I think some music would help us think."

Kelsey's mom nods and smiles, "There is one in Kelsey's room. Could you bring it out here?"

"Sure thing."

After a couple of minutes, Sora returns with the speakers and sets them up. She connects her I-pod to it and the sweetest romance song fills the air.

"What's the name of this song?" Kari and the girls ask Sora.

"It's called 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' by Cascada. I think it suit's a couple that got together just recently perfectly." Sora says causing me to blush.

"This song is beautiful!" Kari exclaims, smiling at me like she knows that I'm thinking of Kelsey.

After the song ends and 'Everytime We Touch' by the same artist comes on. I listen to the first few words and instantly love the song. The song is perfect for how I feel right now.

"Guys, I have a plan." I say, my hope renewed just by those two songs.

"What is the plan Tai?" Matt asks.

"Well, since she has her digivice on her we could locate her and then scout the area to make sure it's safe before we go any father in the plan." Tai says shocking pretty much everyone in the room.

"Did Tai just make sense?" Matt asks jokingly.

I stick out my tongue before replying, "Hey! I can make rational plans sometimes!" The group just laughs.

Location: Nefretmon's Castle

Pov: Kelsey's

"Well, are you coming or not?" Vampriamon asks. I wordlessly take a step forward and continue to do so until I enter the palace grounds.

I blink a few times to make sure it's right. "Is this Nefretmon's castle?" I ask, shock clearly written on my face.

"Yeah. It was her idea to put a barrier on the outside that makes the castle look more depressing than it really is." Vampriamon says.

The stone looked lighter, but the style was still gothic. I smile slightly like I know that this castle used to belong to someone powerful.

Vampriamon and I continue walking until I stop to stare at a statute. The statue was made of rose garnet, the palest gold, and the darkest onyx. The rose garnet made a petite female angel. The gold made a tall male angel, while the onyx made an average height female angel. The expressions on the rose garnet and gold statue looked like ones of sheer warmth while the onyx's expression was one of pure peace.

"That is a statue of the three angels. The rose garnet one is light, the pale gold hope, and the onyx is darkness." Vampriamon states suddenly.

We continue on inside the old rose wood doors. After Vampriamon explains where everything is, we walk down a long corridor. We stop towards the end.

Vampriamon opens the second to last rose wood door, "This is your room." I gasp in shock. The room had pale violet walls, a huge queen sized four post bed that had dark violet and black bedding, the dresser, desk, night stand, and chest were all solid bamboo, and the floor had a light grey carpet.
