Sincerity and Reliability
Part 3
Joe's POV
It's all my fault. I should have done something to help her. Now she's gone, trapped in that stupid mans clutches. I swear I'll kill that guy if it's the last thing I do.
When I looked up again I noticed everyone was staring at me. I remembered I never told them about Mimi and me. " Joe... are you and Mimi an item?" Matt asked.
I didn't know how to answer that so all I did was nod. I think that was a mistake because now everyone just kept on saying things like " don't worry" or "it'll be okay" or other things I really didn't want to hear. This is when I decided to end the conversation by starting a new one. " I bet he took her to that castle," I said.
They all nodded and looked towards the castle. " Well that's our next stop, lets go!" Tai said.
Mimi's POV
I found myself in a pitch-black room. There were no lights anywhere. When I tried to get up I realized I was tied up. In fact I wasn't even on the ground. I was hanging from a rope in the air. " I can't believe this is happening to me," I said quietly.
Suddenly the room lighted up and the darkness was gone. When I looked down I could see the evil being that had brought me here. He only smirked and laughed, not saying a word. " Not to worry, you won't be up there much longer, or anywhere for that matter. HAHAHAHA!"
A could feel tears forming in my eyes. My fear was taking me over. The tears rolled down my cheeks as I prayed that I wouldn't die. After the person left I was all alone again but the lights were left on. I looked around and could suddenly see that some type of gas was filling the room. I coughed and coughed and slowly my vision blacked out.
Joe's POV
We were now inside the castle. I was so worried that something had happened to Mimi that I was barely paying attention to the others. All I could hear was that we were splitting up. I was going with Izzy as usual so of course he wanted to think about what we would do first. " Izzy, Mimi's life is at steak here I think we should at least start looking!"
He only smiled at me which made me totally confused. " I know that, but it would be a lot easier with this," he said showing me his computer. On the screen was a map of the entire castle. The thing that caught my eye was a small blinking red light that was in the middle of the castle. " That's where she is."
I smiled at him and then we began running towards where Mimi was. WE had been running for about ten minutes when right before we turned another corner Izzy grabbed my arm and stopped. " Why are we stopping?" I asked.
" There's something coming," he told me. He glanced around the corner and saw something walk into a room. When he checked which room the person walked into he realized that was where Mimi was.
" Come on Izzy, we have to get he," I said trying not to raise my voice. Slowly I went around he corner and looked into the room. My heart broke when I saw Mimi. She was out cold, hanging from a rope in the air. " Izzy we need to get her down," I said.
I saw him rummage through his backpack and he pulled out a knife. " Can you catch?" he asked.
I hesitated for a minute, " Ya...why?"
" Be ready, you only have one chance at this," he warned me. He then threw the knife in the air.
I watched it as it sliced the rope that held Mimi and she began falling. I ran as fast as I could and caught her before she hit the ground. I kneeled down and gently laid her down, her head on my lap. " Mimi, please open your eyes," I said with tears forming in my eyes.
Mimi's POV
I could hear Joe's voice in my head. I wanted to see him but my eyelids were so heavy I couldn't open them. After a few minutes I slowly opened my eyes. What I saw made my heart melt. A pair of warm blue eyes stared down at me.
A smile appeared on Joe's face. " Your okay," he said happily.
I smiled back at him. " Ya... I'm fine," I replied softly. Although when I said this he gave me worried look.
" You need to rest," Joe told me. He opened his mouth to say more but instead I heard an evil laugh.
Izzy looked around quickly. " Uh... maybe we should get out of here!" he said shakily.
Joe nodded put it was too late to go anywhere. The door that they had entered from slammed shut and from behind the door came the man who kidnapped me. His name was
I leaned close to Joe and held on to him tightly. I felt more secure when I could feel his arms holding me tightly.
" What do you want?" Joe yelled.
" It's very simple, I want to control the digital world and the real world. In order to do that I need to get rid of one of you stupid digi brats," Diablo replied.
" But why her? Why this one?" Joe persisted.
" That I can't really answer. She just seemed to be the easiest one to capture," he said laughing. Trying to get them off guard he sent a large ball of energy flying at Joe and me.
Before it hit a felt myself being pushed out of the way. When I looked up my eyes widened with fear. Joe was hit with the full force of the attack. He screamed as he went flying into a wall and fell.
I ran over to him not caring what happened to me. When I got to him he had scratched all over his body. I kneeled down and started to cry. " Joe... please wake up," I said. " Oh, why did you do that? You should have saved yourself." Anger boiled inside me as I heard Diablo laughing.
When I looked up I realized that he had just launched another attack. I shut my eyes tightly thinking there was no hope but then a miracle happened. My crest began to glow and a beam shot out, blowing the attack back at Diablo. It happened to fast and he wasn't able to move out of the way. He was hit full force. The beam also hit him but went right threw his heart (if he had one). Before anything else could happen he faded and finally disappeared.
Joe's POV
I woke up right when Diablo disappeared. I slowly stood up and walked over to Mimi. She must have heard me because she immediately turned around and hugged me. I returned the hug not wanting to let go.
" I'm so glad you're alright," she said holding back tears. " I thought that I was gonna lose you."
" I'll never leave you Mimi, I promise. Now what do you say we get out of here." I waited for her to nod and headed towards the door. "So how ya doing Izzy?"
" Oh I'm just great. I mean you and Mimi almost died and I couldn't do anything, but I'm great," he said chuckling.
When we got to the door, I could hear the others outside. I opened the door and walked out holding Mimi's hand.
" So are you guys okay?" Tai asked.
I looked at Mimi and smiled. " Everything's prefect, simply perfect."
