Change of Fate: Chap. 1

By: hypergirl
Hope the story turned out okay…During this chapter, I ask you to forgive a very big mistake that I
made in the last chapter. I miscounted something, and I can't figure out how to fix it w/out deleting
my story. Most of it is in Matt's POV. Even though he is a doll, he can still see, hear, and touch. Well, he
can't move but he can tell what something feels like. His POV is going to be in past tense.

Change of Fate: Chap. 1

TK sat up and looked nervously around. He decided that he did not like this place. He was in an
alleyway, a dark one with black-gray walls, which were beginning to crumble. It had a sense of gloom and
depression all around it, and was completely empty except for a few grimy puddles. TK was upset, he
wanted to go home, or back to the digiworld, either would suit him better than this place. It wasn't the
place in general that made him wish to leave, it was the fact that he was alone. Or was he? Feeling
something in his hand, he opened it to find his brother, or at least a key-chain that was his brother. "Matt
will know what to do." Said TK, "He knows everything." So he sat in the alley, waiting for his brother
to tell him what to do.
~**~MATT~**~ (past tense, don't forget!)
I remember when I first noticed something was wrong. That was a long time ago, but as I have
nothing to do at the moment I might as well tell you. I woke up to find myself being held tightly, not
tightly enough to hurt, mind you, but securely. This confused me for a moment, as you might imagine, but
I couldn't do anything about it, because for some reason, I couldn't move. I have no clue as to how long I
lay in that grip before I felt myself being lifted.
Whatever was holding me had loosened its hold and I found myself peering into a deep blue pool.
As I was held further away from the pools, I realized that they were gigantic eyes! This made me slightly
uneasy. Surely something with eyes as big as those would be perfectly able to eat me. I was frightened, I
admit it, but picture yourself in my position. An enormous hand is holding you and you have no way to
protect yourself. It isn't a pleasant situation.
Now, where was I? Oh, so there I was, looking into these giant blue eyes. Then I noticed something blond. It was hair. Blue eyes, blond hair I was just slightly surprised about those two things,
but when I saw the green hat, I about flipped out. I knew that it was coincidence.
There was no way that could be my brother. I mean, my brother was a shrimp, wasn't he? Well,
when he started talking, I was sure it was TK. He thought I could help him. This didn't make me feel any
better, the poor kid was just separated from all his friends, except for his brother who was now on a key-
chain. I felt so helpless, my brother was all alone. I know I was there, but I couldn't do anything! I
couldn't help him, I couldn't protect him. There is no worse feeling than helplessness.
He sat there in that alley, looking at me expectantly, but I couldn't do ANYTHING! He must
have sat there for hours, maybe even days, he** I couldn't tell. But he just sat there and waited. That is, he
sat there until he came along. What the guy was doing in that alley, I`ll never know. Maybe it was fate,
maybe it was planned, but whatever it was, it destroyed my brother.
TK was still sitting there, unmoving, when some shots were fired. It wasn't too nearby, but it was
close enough to hear the furious shouts of many men. TK turned his head toward the noise, but remained
sitting. Then I heard footsteps coming closer. There were two different, um, groups of footsteps. Well,
no, I guess that would be a bad way to say it. There was a single pair of feet running, and then you could
hear a group, apparently chasing the single, following a few blocks away. The footsteps kept coming
closer, and I silently willed my brother to move, to get away from this alley. The last thing I wanted was
for my brother to die in a gunfight over something he had had nothing to do with. Unfortunately, it seemed
my lil bro didn't hear me.
When the guy turned down our alley, I thought for sure he would kill TK. Although now, I think
it might have been kinder of him if he had. The guy grabbed TK`s hand, muttering something about his pursuers not chasing a man with a kid. Well, as you might imagine, TK was shocked. I think that may be why he had no protests when the man hurried him onto a street and began walking the two of them down the lane innocently.
Now, TK had always been told not to go with strangers, but in this case I do believe my brother made the right decision by going along with what the fella. He did have a gun, and I now know what I suspected when I first saw him, that he had no problem using it.
The guy held TK`s hand till they reached room 648 in some old apartment building. The two went in and the man pushed TK, none too gently, onto a raggedy couch. The guy sat down on a wooden chair across from him, looked my brother in the eye, and calmly said, "You young man, are an unexpected problem. Now, I can't let you go, and killing you would be the easiest way to get rid of ya… So what do you suggest I do?"
