Mimi groaned and rolled over onto her side.
"Wake up, child!" she heard a soft voice murmur.
Mimi slowly opened her eyes. At first, she didn't see anything. "Where…where am I?" she muttered.
Then, her eyes made contact with the faint outline of a person. She jumped up, and started to back away.
"What do you want from me? You're the one…the one who was throwing all those things at Matt! Get away from me!" she shouted.
"Be calm, child. It wasn't me. It was the evil, invisible force! Listen! Listen closely to what I say!" her ancestor demanded softly.
Mimi just stared, trembling.
"As you know, I am your great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandmother. I am here to help you save him," Mimi knew, even though her ancestor didn't say, that she meant Matt.
"What do you know about it?" Mimi demanded.
"A great deal, Mimi," Anna replied. "Now, let me begin. Long ago, when I was your age, I had a boyfriend. He looked much like Matt does…" Mimi interrupted then.
"How do you know his name!?" she demanded.
Anna smiled. "I was there when the strange things first started to happen. And besides, just minutes ago, you came running in here, screaming his name. Now, don't interrupt! As I was saying, long ago, my boyfriend was killed. Killed, by an evil force, the same force that is after Matt!"
"What does this "force" want, though?" Mimi asked, distressed.
Anna shook her head at this interruption, and sighed. "He wants his soul. Just as he wanted Jon's soul…" Anna stopped, remembering, as her eyes clouded over. "I was never able to forgive, of course, and I determined never to rest until I destroyed the evil force. And now, here is my chance. Not only can I destroy it, but I can help you, too, so that you will not suffer the same fate as I have. And besides, once it is destroyed, Jon will be back." This wrapped up Anna's story.
"We've got to find Matt!" Mimi began frantically towards the door, but Anna's voice stopped her.
"We can not just run in and destroy the force. It is too strong!!! We must first come up with a plan! We do not have any weapons!"
"You think that I'm going to leave Matt there, alone, when that thing can kill him? Well, think again!!!! I'd rather die by his side!" Mimi defied her elders orders.
Just then, a bright green light enveloped the room.
"What is that!?" Anna demanded. Mimi didn't answer. She walked over to her dresser, and picked something up off of its surface.
"Your wrong. We do have a weapon," Mimi replied. "Let's go!!!" and she ran for the door, the crest of sincerity clutched tightly in her hand.
"Explain yourself, child!" Anna demanded gently.
As they ran towards Matt's apartment, Mimi began to explain everything about the Digiworld, and about the powers of her crest.
"It shone when I wanted to be with him…It just might work!" Mimi finished her story.
Several minutes later, Mimi and Anna came to a large apartment building. Anna looked up at it. "Hurry, child! We do not have much time!"
Mimi ran into the building, Anna not far behind, and they began to dash up flights of stairs.
"409, 409," Mimi muttered to herself. "405, 407…409!" here we are!" she exclaimed, throwing the door open, and stepping inside.
"Matt!" Mimi screamed, seeing her boyfriend. He was backed up against a wall, objects flying at him, just like in her vision. Then, as she watched, horrified, a large, gleaming, butcher knife aimed straight for his head!
"No!" Mimi cried, rushing towards Matt. The knife missed Matt's head by a fraction of an inch, hitting the wall, then clattering to the floor right beside his foot.
"Mimi! Get out of here!" Matt called out frantically, not wanting her to be hurt.
Then, a new voice greeted them. "I see you have come to rescue him," the voice sneered. It had no shape, but they all knew it was there.
Reaching out, he closed invisible hands around Matt's neck, and began to chock him! Mimi tried to run forward, but an invisible force threw her backwards. There was some kind of force field around him.
Then, the force began to take shape. A man, almost identical to Matt, slowly appeared out of no where. "And…just to make it harder for you," the evil voice was heard once again, this time, coming from the person who looked just like Matt. "Just to make it harder for you, Anna, I have taken on the shape of your boyfriend. What was his name? Jon I believe?"
"Jon!" Anna screamed, through her eyes, re-visiting the death of her boyfriend, from hundreds of years ago.
"Matt!!!!" Mimi shouted, as Matt fell to the floor, no longer breathing.
To be continued…
Is Matt really dead? Find out next time!
I know, it's kind of short….but please review!
