Chapter 4


I saw a dim light far away from me. I tried to reach it but my arms felt like a million pounds I laid there and watched the light get closer and closer. The closer it got; I heard a sweet voice calling my name.
"T.K.? T.K.?"
The light was as closer as ever and the voice was loud and sounded a bit shaky as if someone was afraid of something. I wanted to see who it was to comfort that person. The voice sounds familiar. Who is it? Then I knew. Kari.
I tried to open my eyes but they were closed shut and wouldn't open. I tried to talk to Kari but all that came out was a small moan. I laid waiting for my strength to come back.
After what seemed like an eternity, I opened my eyes.
Kari was crouched over me with her eyes closed. Patamon and Gatomon were near by.
I put my hand on Kari's cheek and murmured, "Hey Kari don't cry I'm okay."
Kari opened her eyes in surprise. When she saw me awake she hugged me and cried into my shoulder.
"Oh T.K.! I was so worried that you would never wake up. I thought you could've…could've…"
"Don't you worry Kari. I am okay really. My head just hurts a bit."
Kari smiled at me and said, " You are the bravest boy I know, T.K."
I tried to sit up but winced in pain.
"T.K. rest for awhile. I'll go see how far away from the other lands we are."
"Okay".
Kari got up and left me to lie down for awhile. I put my hand on my head to see how bad it was. It is a big bump with a few cuts.
I pushed up on to my elbows to have a look around. The piece of land Kari and I were stranded on is very big. I could not see past the trees and in the other direction was all water.
I was trying to get up when Kari reappeared.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing mister!"
"You don't expect me to hang out in the ground all day, do you?"
Kari laughed and helped me get to my feet.
"So, did you see anything?"
"Just a whole lot of water".
"Great we stranded on a piece of the digital world".
"I wonder where the others are".
"Me too. But don't you worry Kari we'll find them".
"Now what are we going to do!"
"I know! Lets try to contact one of them on our D-3's!"
"Oh! Great idea! Why didn't I think of that!"
We pulled out our D-3's and clicked them on. I sent a message to Cody.
"What?" I said aloud.
"What does it say?"
"Message denied".
"What? How can that be! Nothing like that has ever happened before! Were stuck here until we crash into another land and find the others!"
"Don't worry Kari. We'll get out of here. It's just going take awhile. Let's make a camp because it's getting dark. We'll think of what to do in the morning."
We pulled some leaves from the fallen tree to make a mattress. Then we took some tree bark sting to string some string together to make a blanket. By the time we finished done, it was dark.
"Come on Kari lets get some sleep. Hey! Where is Gatomon and Patamon!"
"They haven't said a word all day since you woke up. Where did those two go off to."
"I don't know".
Just then, I heard a flapping above my head.
"There you are Patamon! Where have you two been!"
"We were off searching the place to see what was on it. It seems to be empty," said Patamon.
"Well don't worry we'll have a look around in the morning. Let's just get some sleep."
I lay down on the leaves with Kari next to me. I Let Kari use my bag as a pillow. Then I pulled the leaf blanket over us and fell asleep with patamon at my head.
