Do You Know How I Feel?: Part 4
Outside(Matt's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*
I was beginning to think something was wrong, I mean, what could've possibly taken them so long? I was holding T.K. because I could sense that he was shivering. Then something tugged on my jeans. I look down to find Palmon trying to get my attention. I knelt down so I could face her. You could still see tear stains on her face.
"Is Mimi gonna be okay, Matt?" she asked in a shivering voice.
I really didn't know, but that would've just made her feel worse. So I forced on a smile and replied, "Yeah, she'll be all right." I hugged her in one arm and T.K. in another. They hugged me back for comfort.
Then I looked up and saw them running towards us. They signaled for us to run and get out of Myotismon's territory. So we did as we were told. It wasn't until then that Mimi was missing.....
I took Tai by the collar, banged him against the tree and almost shouted, "Where's Mimi?" Then I realized what I was doing and I let him go.
"She wasn't there. We couldn't find her.... And we had to leave." Tai replied. I froze. I could barely think at all. I thought I felt tears running down my cheek. Gabumon came over to comfort me, but it was no use. I had to release my anger somehow or I'll explode, so I punched a tree repeatedly until my knuckles began to bleed.
Tai came over and stopped me. I struggled to let go, but his grip was too hard. So I just stood there. The person that I have this major crush on is probably in massive danger and all I can do is stand there. What a fool.....
Then I heard Sora. She was crying on the floor, with her face buried in her hands. She choked out the words, "It was all my fault." Then all of us stared at her. Kari went over and hugged her. I asked her in a more calm tone what happened.
Sora's P.O.V. *@----}----{----@*
Matt asked me the question..... How was I supposed to answer him? ::Sigh:: I have no choice but to tell him the truth. I began telling the story. Kari was still trying to comfort me, even though it really wasn't helping a bit... They gasped at certain parts. When I finished, all of them had their heads down.
Tai was shaking his head chanting, "Poor Mimi......."
Joe was leaning against a tree saying, "And I thought I had it bad."
T.K. and Gabumon went over to Matt and kept saying, "I'm sorry." Matt had his fist clenched.
Everyone was mostly saying things to themselves. There was a silence. Then Matt came over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault, Sora."
"That's right, Sora. It's that jerkface Myotismon's fault. Tai, we're gonna go up to his face and beat him up, right?" T.K. asked.
Tai looked down at T.K. and beamed. "Of course! No one messes with a digidestined, right guys?" Everyone agreed.
"YOU ALL MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MINDS!!!!" a voice scolded. We all turned around and found Miragemon staring at us like we just came out of a mental institute. "You just got out of there and now you're going to go back there and sacrifice your lives for a girl? You must be insane!!!"
Matt's P.O.V.*@----}----{----@
I lost it right when he said it. Mimi had a name for one. And number two, she wasn't just anyone. She was a part of us. "Look, old man. Her name is Mimi and yes, I'm gonna go rescue her whether you like it or not!" I scolded back.
"You don't know what you're doing." He said stubbornly.
"I know exactly what I'm doing. You're the one who doesn't know what you're doing. And plus, why are you helping us anyway? What did Myotismon ever done to you?" I questioned.
"You want to know the truth? Fine, you can have the truth. I had a brother. Then Myotismon killed him because the digimon that Myotismon liked was in love with my brother, Oramon. Now I'm always along because of him. Now are you satisfied?" Miragemon said. You could hear grief in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." I apologized. I guess things haven't been so great for him either.
"It's all right, Matt. I know how you feel. You feel how I've felt for years, along, right? Well, you'll have to deal with it. Because going back there would just give you death." He said in a more calm voice.
No, he doesn't understand. The only reason he feels this way is because his brother was already dead before he could come to the rescue. But this is different! I can save Mimi! I couldn't just let her go like he did. I have to take hope.
"I'm sorry, but you still hasn't changed my mind. Gabumon, are you up to it?" I asked as I looked down at my companion.
"If you are." He simply replied. Miragemon was wrong. I wasn't alone. I have Gabumon and I know that he'd stick by me no matter what.
"I'm coming too. After all, I AM in charge of Mimi's safety!" Someone said. It was Palmon. It is reasonable, I mean, after all, Palmon IS Mimi's digimon.
"Us too, right, Bi? I am slightly responsible for this. " Sora said. She looked down at Biyomon who nodded in return.
"If you're going, then I'll go too, Matt." T.K. said.
"Thanks, little bro." I said and smiled at him.
"I'm going, too!" Patamon said.
"Count Gatomon and I in!" Kari suggested.
"Hey, if you're taking Kari, then you better drag me and Agumon along too. And plus, I AM the leader." Tai teased. Despite of his argumentative nature, he's a great friend when you need him.
"Tentomon and I'll go. After all, you might need to figure some calculations out." Izzy said.
"Don't forget about us!" Joe and Gomamon shouted. We all giggled a little.
"Thanks guys." I felt tears swell up and I wiped them away. Up until now, I've never noticed what great friends they are when you need them. I always thought I was alone. But this whole time, I've had all of them.
"Very well, make a fool out of yourselves. I may as well go also since I don't have anything better to do with my pathetic life." Miragemon insisted. I smiled at him and for the first time since we met him, he smiled back.
Inside the castle(Mimi's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*
I remember passing out and hearing Myotismon's recorder. I reluctantly opened my eyes and found myself in the same room I was before. I looked out the window for the first time. I realized that I was at the top of the castle. Good thing I'm not scared of heights.
Just then Myotismon came in. He began approaching me and I got scared. I opened the window and said, "Take one step closer and I'll-I'll jump out the window!" He just sat there and laughed. What was he laughing about, that's what I want to know.
"No you won't Mimi." he said and began stepping towards me again. I was furious. Does he think that I'm a wimp? Well actually I was kind of scared, but so what?
I stuck half of my body out the window when I saw him playing his recorder again. I tried to ignore it and have the rest of my body out and onto the roof. But somehow it really wasn't working. My arms wouldn't bend and my neck wouldn't turn. Before I knew it, my whole self was back into the room. "What?" I asked in confusion. I was trying to jump out the window, but why wouldn't my body let me?
"It's amazing how slow you're at noticing things. Haven't you noticed that scar on your neck?" he asked me. I felt for a scar and there it was. It felt like two holes. I went to the mirror and gasped at the sight. I looked horrible. I was way too pale, my lips looked a little purple and my hair was way static from all that lying down while I fainted. Then I noticed the scar he was talking about. They looked like two mini circles. Then my eyes widened when I realized what they were.......... They were marks made by Myotismon.......
