Horizons 7b

As Sora was dragged from the window, she tried to scream.

"What's the matter Digidestined? No Digimon to protect you?" a menacing voice whispered in her ear. He then let her go, throwing her against the wall. His lips curved into a smirk of contentment as he watched her slowly pick herself up.

"No, Ken…" she whispered. She glanced at the window.

"Don't bother screaming. Your precious Matt is probably gone by now and your guard…well let's just say he's having a nice swim in the bottom of the pool." He then laughed at the fear in her eyes and licked his lips dangerously.

She started to edge away from him, towards the stairs.

Ken was quick and noticed her slight movements, so he simply blocked her path. What he didn't anticipate was her pushing him down. He cried out in surprise as he felt himself tumble backwards down the staircase.

Sora seized the opportunity to get to the phone in her room. When she picked it up, she gasped. No dial tone. "Oh no…Now what am I going to do?" she whispered. She then gasped when she saw the wire cut and noticed a little note on the floor. She picked it up and read the note; Don't bother checking the other phones because they have been taken care of too. "What?" well at least he isn't going anywhere. No way can he just get up and walk away from a fall like that.

She then remembered her cell phone in her purse downstairs on the little table in the hallway. "I'll just use my cell," she said to herself in a whisper. When she got to the foot of the stairs and looked down, she expected to see his body but…

When Matt got out of his car, he found he could not shake this feeling. Something is not right. He immediately whipped out his cell and dialed Sora's number. He put it down confused. Why couldn't he get through? Is something wrong with her phone? Damn, I wish I had her cell. At least I think she has a cell phone. Nevermind, what am I doing. Something definitely is wrong. Hang on Sora, I'm coming. He then hopped back into his vehicle and sped away as fast as he could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, how I wish Matt was here. Sora grabbed the vase on the little small table near the stairs and tiptoed down the stairs as quietly as she could. She could feel her heart beating faster and faster. Never in her life did Sora feel so scared as now. She raised the small vase above her head as she came to the foot of the stairs and carefully stepped down. She looked left and right. Suddenly, the mansion was plunged into darkness. Sora could feel her fear rising, and fought hard to not become hysterical. Up ahead, she saw her purse on the table. She was about to sigh with relief when she noticed a cell phone broken into pieces. Her gasp caused a certain someone to hear her. Before Sora could turn around, something hit her on her head, causing her vision to blur. Oh no, this is it for me…Oh Matt…I love you…

She soon lost consciousness and was picked up by a pair of strong arms. Ken put her down gently on the couch and smiled at his work in a sinister way. "Well my pretty, there is no escaping now. You shouldn't have pushed me down the stairs." His hand flew to the bump on the back of his head as he remembered what happened. Damn her! He then left her and went to the kitchen. When he came back, he held a cup of icy cold water.

Well, Ken is up to no good, but why her? Hopefully Matt can get to Sora before Ken "takes care of her". Review if you dare.
