Q #1: Will Julia/Jessica meet her real parents, Sora and Matt?
A: Not tellin' (hehe).
Q #2: Will I say how Sora and Matt died?
A: Well, I did say they died in a shooting at the school that they were teachers in. But the man does tell Julia what REALLY happened to her parents.
Was that all the questions? I hope so. If I don't have your question
answered, read this. If it's still not answered, ask in a review for this
one! Sorry this took so long. Well, here it is.
Protection, Part 2
Julia got into the man's car. Once he started driving, she studied him more carefully. Now that she'd gotten a better look, she suddenly realized his eyes were too green to be his real eye color. His hair was green to it's roots, though, so she didn't know if he'd dyed it or not. Although green wasn't too common of a hair color, it could easily be his real original color. After all, Jyou had blue hair, and it was real, but it wasn't common. She started to say something, but stopped herself. She didn't want to ask too many questions... But she really did want to know how much he knew about her. She'd like to know some things herself, like about her parents... If he knew anything. She really wanted to ask exactly HOW he knew all the stuff he did, but she figured that might be a stupid idea.
"I suppose you have questions, don't you?" he asked suddenly. "I probably really scared you back there, and you're probably still scared now." The car was slowed down and then stopped at a red light, and he looked at her. Now his eyes seemed real again. Why couldn't she make up her mind? And if they weren't real, why would he want to hide his real eye color, whatever it was? "You scared me a little," she said, although she knew and she knew that man probably knew that she was lying. He'd scared her a lot. "Well, we can talk more when we get to my place. But I'll have to call your parents to tell them you're alright... Unless you would like to talk to them instead?" Julia really didn't want to talk to her parents... They'd probably be mad at her for leaving like that. She was about to answer, but the man gasped a little. "Hey, can I please see what's in your hand?" he asked. "Sure," she replied, and let it all but the bit of string between her fingers fall down. It hung from her hand, and shimmered in the sunlight.
After he didn't say anything for a while, Julia looked at him. His eyes were now watery, and he had to rub them and wipe his cheeks to get a few fallen tears away. Although he still looked a bit detached from the world, he finally spoke. "I can't believe that wasn't destroyed... I'm sorry... Nevermind about that, just keep it hidden. Can't end up in the wrong hands, it could be dangerous. Anyway, do you want to talk to your parents or should I?" Julia quickly took the necklace and kept it tightly in her hand again. "Y... You can talk to them," she said quietly. He chuckled a bit, and his eyes stopped showing the sadness. "Okay. Just hope they're not too worried. And don't worry, I know the number. After I talk to your parents you can ask me all the questions you like, and I'll explain some stuff too. But I have to ask your parents a few things, too. I just hope I can persuade your father..." Persuade my father to do what? Julia suddenly asked herself. She opened her mouth to actually ask it, but she decided she'd probably find out sooner or later anyway, though it was tempting. Suddenly they made a turn into a driveway surrounded by dark forest. What kind of person lives in the dark? she wondered. But then again, this man might wonder what kind of people live in the city. She'd lived in the city for as long as she could remember, so she thought it was perfectly normal. Maybe not everybody thought like she did.
The driveway was extreamly long, but eventually they got to a small brown house... But it looked more like a shack with a garage. They pulled into it, and the engine was shut off. She figured she could get out, so she undid her seatbelt and opened the door. The man led her inside, and motioned for her to sit on the couch. "You can sit down for a second while I phone your parents. Sorry I don't have a TV, but it costs a lot of money." He then picked up a cellular phone off from on top of the small refridgerator next to his door, and started to dial. "Hello? Kari? ... ... I'm alright. I just wanted to tell you that I found Julia, she's right here with me. ... ... Yes, she's just fine. May I talk to Takeru? ... ... Thanks, Kari... ... ... TK! I had to ask you something. ... ... Yes, she's here and she's alright. ... ... I just wanted to ask you if I could tell her. She really should know. ... ... Really? You don't care? Thank you! ... ... Well, this way you can stop thinking so negativly... I know it must hurt you even though you know it's not true... You just couldn't risk her hearing you. It's okay now, though, once she gets back home she'll know everything about us, and you can stop talking like we're gone. ... ... Yes, I'll talk to you later. Bye."
He set the phone back where he got it from, and looked at Julia. "Well, Julia, I guess it's time for you to know the truth." He stopped for a minute, and took out two contacts, revealing his eyes to be blue. The only person she'd ever known to have blue eyes like those was her father... er, her uncle. She thought that maybe, just maybe, this could be her real father, but she knew that was impossible, since he was dead.
"Julia... I... I don't know how to say this... But I guess I'll explain with the whole story. My wife and I had been part of a group called the DigiDestined for 16 years, along with your adoptive mother and father, Jyou, Koushiro, your adoptive Uncle Taichi, Jyou's wife Mimi, and a few years after we all became part, three other children, Iori, Miyako, and Daisuke, were part too. We'd never thought of ourselves as any different from the rest of the DigiDestined, but it turned out we were. The Digidestined helped protect the Digital World, the world of creatures called Digimon, from darkness. There is a group called the Dark Masters. We defeated them as children, but they came back. They knew that if the children of Friendship and Love had a child, that child would be strong. Stronger than any DigiDestined, stronger than any Digimon. This child would have different powers, depending on the gender. If it was a boy, it would have strong traits of Friendship and Hope, coming from his father and uncle. If it were a girl, she would have ultimate power of Love, from her mother, along with some healing powers of Light, from her aunt. The children of Hope and Light were forever destined to be together, and the children of Friendship and Hope were brothers. Therefore, it was positive these two would be related to any child of Friendship's. The Dark Masters knew this, but the DigiDestined did not. The children of Love and Friendship did have a child. They learned too late about all of this, and the Dark Masters went after them and their child, who ended up being a girl, to destroy her while she was still an infant, unable to have any idea of her powers. So they had to be seperated. The little girl, who had been named Jessica Ann, went to live with her aunt and uncle, Hope and Light, known better to you as Takeru and Hikari."
Julia blinked. This man WAS her father, wasn't he? "Y-y.. you're my
dad?" she stuttered. "Yes..." he said, and sighed. "I went to hide, and
so did your mother... That necklace you have belongs to your mother, it's
the Crest of Love. I haven't seen your mother since we dropped you off
together with your TK and Kari... They later got married, of course. To
protect you, they changed your name. They didn't want to, since they didn't
want to rid you of the name we gave you, so they chose Julia Ann instead
of Jessica Ann, because it was similar..." He hugged her tightly. She felt
sort of strange, since she'd never met the man before today, but she also
felt strangely comforted. He got teary eyes again. "I miss your mother
so much... Kari says she's doing well, though, I'm happy about that..."
Welllll... This was sort of short, but I'm beginning to get writer's
block. So, now how is Julia going to react to all this, once it finally
sets in nicely? I don't even know. Please review!
