What Her Eyes Had Seen
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Not one part o' it. Just a story.
(A/N): This story begins my "Other Digidestined" thing. I wrote introductions-The Other Digidestined- that might help you get the feel for the kids and Digimon I invented.
On with the story!
Lucrecia's Point of View
Leaning back in my chair, I finished typing my last diagnosis record for today. Today seemed awfully long, even for a Tuesday. The latest storm dragged in what little survivors were left on their way to the Canadian border. I sometimes wondered why so many people from the southern U.S. would leave all that sun and travel up into this frozen world that is so unknown to their kind.
Their kind. I was thinking that again. I suppose I was just being ignorant, but I really did feel as though I was alienated from other people. My mind was in two places at once- the modern world my dad lived in, and the old ways of my Inuit mother- and it confused me ever more each day I though of it. Why did I think that?
I shrugged it off my mind as I printed out the document. Placing it in its correct folder, I stretched and retreated to the back office to retrieve my cloak, gloves, and Seomon.
He grinned and leapt onto my shoulders as I came inside, his reddish and scaly body glistened in the dim light. His bright yellow eyes gleamed with cheerfulness as I gathered all my belongings so we could return to my home.
"What's the matta, Lucy?" Seomon asked, noticing how silenced I was. Looking down at him, I smiled grimly.
"I guess...Well, I was just wondering if this really is my place," I admitted, cringing at my error. He was going to lecture now. Oh, boy, this'll be miserable.
But, all he did was nod much to my surprise. "I wish I could show you the Digital World. Maybe that'd lift your spirits a bit." He looked up and sighed, shaking his reptilian head.
I smiled. He was such a kind friend, even though he was hardly the size of a four-year-old child. I probably though so because I had so few friends to confide in. It is Alaska, you know. Not very many people-
FLASH!
The ocean. It was so warm. Yet, it was different in some way. Like it was on some strange island that no one ever came to. Well, and because I was above it.
Above? Am I flying or something?
Then I saw something- no, wait-someone. He was with...A Digimon? How could that be?
Curious and very weirded out, I sank in for a closer look at this stranger. He was not alone, I realized. There were others. Six of them, I believe. They each had Digimon, which intrigued me.
One had reddish hair- a guy, I think - with goggles. He had a little blue Digimon riding on his head. Strange...
Another, that I believe was a girl, had purple-tinted hair and a bird-like partner. I spotted another girl, but with brown hair and a cat-like partner, and a strange obsession with pink...
There were three other boys there as well. One wore a white hat and had a yellow or orange flying Digimon, while the shorter, brownish-haired boy had a large yellow and brown-shelled companion. There was also another, behind the rest, with turquoise-colored hair and a little green Digimon.
I never knew there were others like me, I exclaimed to myself. A sudden urge to talk to them overwhelmed me, and I found myself standing next to the group. They were talking.
"Get real, Daisuke," the one with the hat was saying. "Hikari doesn't like you!"
The one called Daisuke glared at white-hat. "And who died and made you king of the jerks?"
The girl with the pink sighed, looking very exasperated. "Will you two quit it? Gennai sent us out here to find some other Digidestined, not to fight!"
Other Digidestined? They were looking for me! Excited and ran in front of the girl in pink.
"I'm here!" I cried. Nothing happened!
"Did...you guys hear anything?" she asked, looking around. "I thought I heard-"
FLASH!
"Lucy! Lucy! Wake up! Talk to me!"
Something was tugging at me. It was Seomon. We were inside the house for some reason. What had really happened? Was it all just some strange dream?
"I...I'm okay, Seo," I managed to say. "It's just...I saw others."
"Others?" He cocked a curious eyebrow at me.
"Like me! With the digivice and the Digimon and everything! They were there! On the beach!"
Seomon rocked back like I slapped him. "How did you see the Digidestined from Tokyo? They were in the digital world..."
"But I saw them! There were six of them..."
"Yes, yes! How did you do that?"
"I...I don't know!" How did I do that?
My mother smiled at me as I looked up. She gave me my bird necklace and rocked me. It was night, and I was in my room with her.
Our people are very special, my little bird. Even if you have just one drop of Inuit blood, you are special. We can use Othersight. We can see beyond what our own eyes see. The spirits gave us this gift for our patience and respect. Maybe some day you could harness it..."
My mother has been dead for three years. Could this be the Othersight she told me about?
