So

So...Didja like the last two? Here's three.

"Gatomon! What is it?!" Kari cried as she clutched her digimon close to her. Gatomon stopped screaming and started crying.

"Stop it! Why won't you leave me alone!?" she wailed as she flailed her paws.

"I just wanna help you." Kari pleaded.

"Not you Kari!" Gatomon sobbed. "I just want the voices to stop!"

"It's okay, Gatomon." Said Tai as he sat close to her. "Nothing's gonna hurt you."

Gatomon looked up at Tai from Kari's arms. "Something bad is happening, Tai."

He looked up and all around. "What? What's going on?"

"I don't know...something's coming after me." She used a portion of Kari's shirt to wipe away her tears.

"How do you know?" asked Davis.

"Those voices!" she hissed. "It's trying to kill me from the inside! It's like it was with Myotismon!"

"But Myotismon's dead." Patamon reminded.

"No digimon dies...not really...Now it's starting all over again!" she panted in pain and misery.

"Take her home and let her rest, Kari." Said Joe.

"But we need her to fight in the digital world!" Davis complained.

"Joe's right." Said T.K. "Gatomon needs to get some rest. Besides, what good could she do us in this state?"

"I'll go home right away." Kari nodded and scooped up Gatomon, heading towards the nearest port.

"I'll check up on her tomorrow!" Joe called after her.

"What are you seeing that's so bad, Gatomon?" asked Kari as she headed home.

"It's not just what I see...It's what I feel. That cold hate...like before I met you." She replied tiredly.

"Is it Myotismon?" she asked.

"I...don't know." She sighed stared at her claws. "It's not his voice...but still..."

"Maybe you're just too stressed." Kari suggested.

"But that voice...there's something so familiar about it...But it's my voice, like someone's mimicking me!"

Mimicking me! The voice from inside cried with a cackle of sarcasm. Who's imitating whom?

Gatomon gritted her teeth. "I won't let it win!"

Aw...that isn't your decision... It said menacingly.

"Kari...I can hear that voice."

"Ignore it, Gatomon. You have to fight it." Kari insisted.

Gatomon rolled over and closed her eyes, wishing they were just home already.

Oh yes, that's right...ignore me...prepare yourself, sister...we shall meet tonight...

Gatomon trembled and sprang up at the sound of Kari opening the door. Walking into the bedroom, she set Gatomon on the bed. "Get some sleep."

Gatomon drifted off...

Gatomon was now inhaling the scent (Ahem, how's that, Dark Peregrine? Just kiddin' ^^) of the green grass before her once more. Not this dream...not again...She thought in fear. The light faded and was met by...another light? Something was different this time.

"Gatomon..." called a not forgotten voice.

"Wi...izardmon?" she croaked, tears of relief and joy spreading down her face.

"Gatomon...don't stop fighting..."

She paused and looked around. "But-"

"No, never give up. You might be scared now, but remember who you are..."

"What's this, the Lion King?"

"Don't get smart with me!" he echoed.

A grin parted her lips. "But what can I do...?" she asked.

"The demon in the black mirror comes for you tonight...you must not turn your back to her..." he said, his voice fading.

"But who is she?" she asked.

"I have to go now..."

"Wizardmon, no!"

"Goodbye..."

"Wizardmon, where are you?" she cried out as his voice became barely audible.

"Here Gatomon...always right here..."

Gatomon awoke and sighed. Why wouldn't the pain of losing Wizardmon ever go away? Why, in that one second, did he have to do what he did? She hated him for it...but then again, she could never hate him. It was late at night, and she realized she had slept for hours. Kari was asleep beside her, but something in the room felt cold and hard.

She swallowed and hopped off the bed, exiting the room and crawling into Tai's. Agumon wasn't there, but she had always felt safe with Tai. He had always come to both her and Kari's rescue. She crawled under the covers of Tai's bed and squeezed her way under his arm. "Night Tai." She whispered. When the demon Wizardmon spoke of came, she would be ready.

So Gatomon prepares for this new evil, but will Tai and the other digimon be able to protect her? Maybe the whole thing...is just in her head...
