CHAPTER 2
~YOLEI~
I am frightened. I can't stand it
anymore.
The darkness...okay, we have this
flashlight, but the light gets darker and darker with every minute, and
it won't take long until we are totally lost here.
Will they find us? I hope so. I want
to get out of here.
I wish I would be at home, with
my family.
I am too young to die!
My family...thinking of them makes
me crying. They are always nerving me, but now I miss them. I always wanted
to be alone – having some peace.
Now I imagine how deeply I care
for my family.
Now, when it's maybe too late. We
are all stuck here, supposed to die. Panic grabs around my heart.
I am jealous of the others. They
are so brave and have such a strong will – they aren't like me. I always
panic, and I am never useful.
I often wished that I would be a
little more like Kari. She is so strong, and has such a warm heart.
I always quarrel with everyone.
I watch them all, one after another.
Watch the body of Davis. It was
a hard piece of work to get him out of the metal piece, but we finally
managed it.
He seems to be hurt pretty bad and
he doesn't wake up...Everybody is so worried...
Everybody without me.
I feel so ashamed. I know that I
should be worried, too, but I can't.
I only think of myself.
I don't deserve my crest. Love...
I only think of myself. Sure, I
love my friends and my family, but I am too afraid to risk my life for
them...
I am often scared.
The others aren't. Davis...he sacrificed
his life, to rescue Veemon. He protected him with his own body. I don't
know if I would be able to do the same for Hawkmon.
Poor Veemon. He is sobbing all the
time, trying to wake Davis up.
We had to tell the girl about the
digimon. We couldn't hide six speaking tiny creatures.
Sometimes I am scared of myself.
I wonder how the others can be friend with such a terrible person like
me. I wonder how I deserved such a wonderful digimon partner like Hawkmon.
"Midniiight, not a sound from the
paaavement..."
Totally confused I look up. Who is
singing?
"Has the moon lost her meeemory..."
It's the girl – I think her name
is Cass. Has she gotten mad? Why does she sing??
"She is smiling alooone..."
"Are you crazy??", I yell with all
my might. She stops singing.
"No, I am not crazy. But it is so
depressing to watch all your worried faces, without any hope...so I started
singing. If we continue acting like this, we'll get mad. By the way, do
you know this song? It is from the musical CATS and its name is 'Memory'.
I really love this song, but I don't know the full text of it."
With this words she continues singing.
"In the laaamplight the withered
leaves collect at my feeeeet."
"It would sound much better if you
sing it right!"
"And the wiiind begins to moooan."
She turns towards me. "Well, better
singing wrong than sitting there and worrying."
"Well, but you should see that our
situation IS worrying. I mean, WE ARE STUCK UNDER TONS OF ROCKS!!! And
one of us is terribly injured. Maybe he won't make it!!
And you tell me not to worry???"
I jump at her with tears in my eyes, my voice cracking: "I WANT TO GET
OUT OF HERE – WE WILL ALL DIE!!! WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO DIE!"
"CALM DOWN!", her shout interrupts
my loud crying. Then she smiles:
"Ok, our situation is worrying,
but when we all get panicked, we have no use of it.
They will sure search for us and
other peoples. We only have to wait."
"She is right, Yolei.", Ken's voice
is strong and warm, "Panic won't help anybody. I understand that you don't
feel like singing, but maybe we should talk. Silence is the most terrible
thing which can happen, not?"
I wipe my eyes and nod. Again I acted
really stupid. Why can I be as strong and brave as the others? I am a failure
then.
Ken had a much more difficult life
than me, and he doesn't panic.
It's just that I can't get this
fear out of my mind.
*
Outside the crashed building,
many people are working hard to bring away the rocks and metal pieces.
"What a desaster.", a man in a
blue jackets says.
The police-women who followed
him stares at the former-building with a shocked expression. "My
God! Have you found anyone - who survived it - yet?"
"We've only found some death people.
They had no chance to survive. The explosion was too big. Has the police
already an idea how it happened?"
"It was a bomb...it seems that
someone hated the employer of this Shopping-Center."
"Only because he hated him he
made a bomb which killed an amount of people??? That's pretty mad, isn't
it?"
"People are mad."
*
Kamya residence:
"Tai, don't throw your clothes
on the ground like that!"
"Sure, Mom.", the tall boy responses,
trying to ignore his mothers voice while he watches the News.
"....finally, we have to tell
that there was a bomb attack in the inner city. The famous Shopping-Center
'Deluxe' crashed into pieces today afternoon. until now, only death people
have been found. The police is searching..."
Tai, who's eyes had become bigger
and bigger while hearing this terrible news, jumps up in horror.
"Deluxe...", he whispers, voice
full of fear, "That's the place where Kari and the others wanted to go...Oh
my god....MOM!!!"

~Yolei~
I have to think about the things
Cass told me.
I know that she is right. I have
to be strong. I am full of respect to her. She stays so cool, even in this
situation.
Maybe that's because she is older.
I wish I could be like her.
It's now over three hours since the
crash.
And nobody found us. Why does it
take so long
Maybe they don't know that we are
in the cellar...maybe they forgot us!
Oh my god, that would mean...
No, Yolei, you won't panic, I tell
myself.
The others are strong, so you have
to be strong, too. Even Cody – do you want to be weaker than Cody?
And what will Hawkmon think of you?
if I am not strong for me, than for
the others!
Suddenly everything is dark. The
flashlight is out!
Alone in the darkness...I search
for the others, when I hear Kari sobbing
"The darkness...the darkness...",
her voice is weak and full of fear.
There is someone who sings...
That sounds pretty bad, even for
me.
Stop nerving me. Why do you sing?
And who are you?
The river is so beautiful, but
there is something wrong with the colors. They aren't as bright as before,
they are fading away.
Ad the pain comes.
But the pain shall stay away,
I don't want to feel it.
It's the fault of this voice –
she makes the beautiful scene disappear.
STOP IT
Can't you understand it?
I don't want to feel the pain.
