Author's Note: Sorry about it being so late. I was REALLY busy. This is the last of Blood Tears and I am thinking about stopping Love And Courage and starting my newest series, DW3... aka Digital World 3. Please review. Say if you want Love and Courage to continue or not. Sorry y'all who were in the contest for Love and Courage. The series will get started again AFTER Christmas break.
"This is really strange." Sora said, looking toward Tai. Her voice was quiet but she tried to block out the rustling of leaves behind them in the dark. She was afraid it was Matt. Tai turned and looked at her. He must have sensed something because he asked, "What's wrong?" She said nothing.
"You hear it. Don't you?" Tai asked. Sora nodded, her eyes focused behind her. A human figure shadow appeared from the dark and Sora let out a yell of surprise. "Welcome, Tai." the voice of who they were trying to escape from said. "MATT!" Tai screamed and pushed Sora behind him.
"Right." Matt's voice was calm and relaxed. The light of the moon far away gleamed down and the couple could see the manical smile on his face. "I wonder.." Matt's voice trailed off. He laughed. The laugh was evil. Pure evil. "Matt... What is wrong with you!?" Sora stepped forward.
"Taking over someone's crest, yariman?" Matt said and held his gun at eye level to Sora. "Sora!" Tai yelled. "No Tai! I must face Matt myself. His crest is inside him. I know it is." Sora smiled, her face softened toward Matt. "No..." Matt said, his hand shaking, "NEVER!" Matt pulled back the trigger.
The bullet plunged into Sora's chest and she fell backwards. Tai's arm enclosed her and she looked into his brown eyes. They showed sadness, tears, anger, and the most of all... love. "Tai.. I will be back. I am forever in your heart. I love you." Sora's eyes closed and Tai's tears flowed freely.
Sora found herself in darkness. "Whe- where am I?" Her voice echoed throught out the blank darkness and she looked around. "This is the passing way. You are dead." A voice said and a small man appeared. "Who are you? And the passing way?" Sora asked, confused. "I am... what you call an angel. The passing way is between life and death. You are not excactly dead."
Sora looked confused. She was getting angry, "THEN WHAT AM I!?"
"You are in the passing way..."
"I got that part!"
"You are the holder of love in a fight against the owner of friendship with the keeper of courage."
Sora tapped her foot impatiently, "Okay, angel. I need help. How do I get back to life?"
"You must have hope to see the light. Use your knowledge and courage to get there and you must be sincere to yourself and rely on yourself. Most of all, you must carry inside you, love and friendship."
"Is that some kind of riddle? All of the crests were used in it."
"You must harness the powers of your friends and yourself."
Sora looked behind her, "What if... what if they lost their power?" She looked at the angel whose face told nothing. "I know Matt did. The owner of friendship is gone."
"You are mistaken, Love, you must show him his power... deep inside of him."
Sora closed her eyes and pleaded to the Digidestined, "Help me. Release your crests to me. Bring me back to life." She felt the powers of knowledge, light, hope, sincerity, reliability, courage, love, and friendship. "Thanks Matt." She said under her breath.
Sora coughed and opened her eyes to find herself in Tai's arms. "Sora!" Tai's eyes, filled with tears, embraced her heart in a hug. She sat up, with the help of Tai and looked at Matt. "Matt?" Sora said, her voice quiet. The pain in her chest didn't hurt anymore.
"I want to thank you, Matt." Sora said, putting her hand over her heart. "What?! He shot you!!" Tai yelled. Sora continued, "The crests brought me back together but we had to have the power of all of us. Matt's crest still has its power of friendship, deep inside of him. We all do. That is why I am alive." She smiled.
Matt dropped the gun and placed his hand on his heart. "I can feel it, Sora." He said, his voice sad and quiet. Tai looked down and notice where his crest once laid glowed. He looked up and seen Sora's and Matt's old crest's home glowed. "The power inside of us." Sora said quietly as Tai hugged her and Matt kneeled down.
