**I don't own digimon (yet)**
No Such Thing As Miracles (Chapter 1: The Beginning)
"Ahhhh!" yelled the young, boy as the images from his dreams began
once more to erode his sanity, or rather what little bit of sanity that he had
left. The more he thought about it, the harder it was for him to accept that the
dream he was having was just an echo of the horrors that he had seen in the past
few days. As the boy hoped once more that, in fact it was all just a bad dream,
he was again brought back to reality by the pain that was coursing through his
body. The pain that the boy felt in his arm was nothing compared to the pain
that he felt after being powerless to help his friends as they fought to save
him.
"How could I have let this happen?" the boy thought to himself.
This was all my fault if I hadn't been so angry, so desperate, so selfish
none of this would have happened if I hadn't..." he kept thinking, his
thoughts being interrupted by the groans of pain from across the campsite.
The boy's eyes then turned to see the two friends of his who had entrenched
themselves under a large oak tree. After all they were the focus of the young
boy's anger, they were the ones who he had felt betrayed him.
The boy still remembered all those feelings that led him down that dark road
which, nearly ended in the destruction of them all. Even now after it was all
over he still couldn't shake the feeling that he had been betrayed. "She's
supposed to be mine." the boy thought once more, even though he knew that
this was the way that it had to be. Yet still, he couldn't just accept that,
even after everything that had happened he still felt anger, not only over what
his friends had done to him, but over how he could have been so blind to what
was in front of him for so long.
The boy thought to himself. "Why even after all the damage that my anger
had caused, did they come to save me. Why did they risk everything to save me
from my own creation, from myself?" Still not understanding what it
really meant to be a friend, after all if he was ever any true friend none of
this would have happened.
The boy was still so confused, how had he let his emotions to push him so far.
Once more the events of the last three days started to once again seep into his
mind...
~~~ @@@ Flashback (Duh) @@@ ~~~
"Hey Kari, what'cha doing after school, cause I was wondering if you wanna
come watch my soccer game." asked the young boy, with a look of expectation
as if he would hang on every word of her response.
Finally after a brief pause she responded. "Davis I'd love to, but I
promised TK that I would come watch his basketball game. You understand,
right?"
"Of course I do, a promise is a promise." the boy responded,
noticeably upset by the response that he had received. However even though he
was beginning to grind his teeth and his face was showing a bit of a frown Kari
didn't seem to notice it.
"Thanks for understanding, maybe I'll catch your soccer game some other
time." With that she turned and started to walk away, from the boy, whose
frown had since turned into a scowl.
"Maybe I'll catch your soccer game some other time."
"Maybe I'll catch your soccer game some other time."
"Maybe I'll catch your soccer game some other time."
The boy kept hearing Kari's words run through his head, echoing over and over
getting louder and louder until he thought that his head would explode.
"Some other time, but this is the championship game, the whole season
was leading up to this, and she would catch it some other time."
As he thought, the boy could feel his blood start to boil. "How can she
do this to me, just blow me off for him? What does TK have that I don't? Why
doesn't she just tell me that she hates me? Why does she just lead me on?"
The questions kept running around in his head and the more that he thought about
it the more that he realized that he could only come up with one answer...
"There trying to drive me insane!" Davis thought to himself,
before shaking his head wildly. "No, no, I may be going insane, but TK
and...Kari, they're my friends they wouldn't do that to me."
He once more shook off these feelings, knowing full well that they were slowly
pulling him apart at the seams.
The rest of the day seemed to take forever to pass, all the while those same
thoughts echoed in his skull. The boy felt so confused, he knew that Kari and TK
were his friends and would never try to hurt him on purpose. His head kept
telling him that they were his friends, but for some reason his heart kept
telling him that they were his persecutors.
Eventually the school day ended and Davis slowly headed off to meet his team for
their big game. Even though he had been looking forward to this game for so
long, to Davis it just didn't seem to excite him. He still couldn't reconcile
the differences between what he knew and what he felt.
The game started and Davis' team after two quick goals by their opponents had to
attempt to claw their way back, if they would have any chance of a victory. Some
how even though he was on the field Davis felt as if he was somewhere else
altogether. He couldn't couldn't help but feel that everyone knew about the
grand plan to drive him insane, but him.
Just when Davis felt like he was about to lose his mind a sound brought him back
to reality. It was the sound of the whistle that signaled the end of the game.
Even though Davis recognized that his team had just been beaten 7-1 for some
reason it didn't seem to matter to him, nothing seemed to matter.
Young boy finally decided what he had to do. He then left the soccer field to
search for Kari, he was going to confront her and find out if all the things
that were running through his head were true or just his irrational thoughts. As
he started to approach the gym where he knew Kari would be watching TK's game he
saw something that seemed to confirm everything. All his worst fears had been
confirmed, all his crazy thoughts, everything that his delusional mind had
thought up was true.
Davis took a second look at what was going on behind the gym, just to make sure
that he wasn't just imagining his worst fear, but sure enough he saw the same
thing. "How could they? I thought that they were my friends."
Davis thought to himself.
Davis didn't know what to do, how could he react to what he was witnessing. Just
when Davis thought that things couldn't get any worse, they did. TK and Kari
finally separated from what seemed to be hours of having their lips intertwined
only to see Davis standing there.
"D..Davis, how long have you been standing there?" Kari asked him
hesitantly knowing full well that he had been there long enough to have seen
everything.
Davis didn't say anything, he just put his head down and started to hurry down
the path that led past the school's gym. Almost as quickly as Davis had moved
toward the path TK had moved in front of him.
"Davis wait you don't understa..." TK started before being stopped
abruptly by a quick right hand from Davis which caused him to stumble back.
TK quickly shook off the punch and called out to Davis once more. "Please,
Davis don't go, let me explain." but it was too late, Davis had run off.
Davis ran for so long that when he finally did stop he could barely walk anymore
and just sat on the ground where he was.
Once more his thoughts began to echo around in his head. "They're not
trying to drive me insane, they're trying to destroy me." as the image
of what he had just seen etched itself into his mind, he still felt himself
trying to shake off these thoughts that didn't seem to be his. The more that
Davis re-ran the events outside the gym through his head, the more willing he
was to start accepting these ludicrous ideas.
As Davis stared to accept the thought that TK and Kari were conspiring against
him, he could feel his feelings of persecution being lifted. however those fears
were being replaced by a deep feeling of rage. Davis could feel his thoughts
turning away from what TK and Kari had done to him to focus now on what he could
do to them.
Davis was so consumed by his need to find revenge that he did not notice the
black fog which had settled in around him. Finally Davis allowed himself to to
ask the question that he had been fighting.
"How can I hurt them like the way that they hurt me."
That question seemed to echo in the fog around him, even though Davis had asked
the question out loud he had not expected to get any sort of response. The
question however was heard and the answer would prove to be one which would
change everything for the digidestined.
"I know of a way for you to exact your revenge." a dark voice spoke
from within the fog.
"Wh..who's there? Who are you?" Davis asked hesitantly.
"What's in a name, just consider me a friend who wishes to help you see
that they will pay for what they have done to you." The dark voice spoke
once more.
"How?" Davis asked into the fog, no longer trying to fight off the
dark feelings which were seeping into his heart.
The voice gave a slight chuckle and then began to explain his plan, all the
while the darkness that was surrounding Davis began to get thicker and thicker
until eventually all of the light had been consumed...
