Born of Angels
This is the sequel to Kari's Secret or a Forgotten Past, whichever title you prefer.
She was here. He could feel her. The light she held inside of her seared his soul. Her eternal hope made him cringe. She was within his reach.
She was lying there, in the tall grass, unmoving. He could just kill her with one swoop of his hand.
'No.' The voice boomed in his head.
"Why not?" He said aloud.
"Watch her." The voice stated, quieter this time.
He watched her. What could this voice mean by not killing her? He sneered. She looked so much like her mother and father. Those two were fools. That's why her mother was probably dying in the darkness he had created and the father, hopefully, dead. Hopefully, what an appropriate word for the "boy" of hope.
'Too much light resides in her soul. Too much of either light or dark will leave a person unbalanced. You cannot destroy her. Not without destroying yourself. Have her destroy herself.'
He smirked. That would be more fun. Less work too. She began to stir and he sank back into the shadows.

Andie opened her eyes and found herself lying face down in very tall grass. She tried to move and found that every part of her body was sore. She forced herself onto her hands and knees, then onto unsteady feet. She looked around to see a huge field and a forest in the distance surrounding her. Waist high grass rubbed against her hands that hung down at her side.
"Where am I?" She whispered.
'Okay, retrace your steps. I was in my room. That weird thing and the instant message popped up on my screen. And then… I was here. Well, that wasn't much help.'
She took a couple steps forward. There was something strange about this place. No, not stranger. Familiar. That's a better word. But how could it be familiar. She had never been to the country or any place that looked like this before. Not only was it familiar, but it was making her worried. There was something about it. A weird darkness hung over it.
Something under her feet made her trip. She stumbled, but caught herself before she fell down. She looked down, pushing back the grass trying to see what she had tripped on. It was a weird looking device. Pink and white. It looked old, sort of faded. She picked it up.
Something flashed in her mind. She closed her eye and felt herself slip to the ground. A scene ran through her head. A battle. A girl and a boy, with their hands locked together standing in this same field. They were fighting something, a shadow. Then the scene was gone. She breathed out, realizing she had held her breath, and it came out short and fast like she was out of breath. She was shaking as she clutched the small device.
She didn't move for a while. She couldn't move. All she could do was sit on the ground shaking and panting. She finally opened her eyes and forced herself off the ground. All she wanted to do was take the stupid thing and throw it off a cliff, but instead she pocketed it, not knowing why.
It was getting dark. She did not like the dark; in fact it freaked her out. Darkness created nightmares. She looked around in a panic. "Come on, this isn't funny! What do I have to do, tap my heels together and say there's no place like home?" She laughed. "I've gotta stop watching those damn American movies."
"Well, that's not a very nice thing to say." Andie whirled around in fright. "Cussing is not a very polite thing."
"Who's there?" Andie screamed.
A boy dressed in a blue suit and yellow glasses stepped out of the shadows. He stood casually with his hands in his pockets of a dark suit. He frowned. "I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" He asked. She nodded, unable to make words come out. This guy had just come out of nowhere. He took off his glasses and held out a gloved hand. "Hello, my name is Ken."
She shook his hand and felt something inside her mind start to panic. What for she didn't know. "Andie. Its nice to meet you, Ken."
"Like wise." He made a half smile. He seemed nice enough, but he made her uneasy. And his violet eyes were unnatural. "What was that you pocketed a moment ago?" He asked after a moment of silence.
Andie quickly took at the strange object. "I don't know what it is. I just found it. It isn't yours is it?"
He raised an eyebrow at her. "Its pink."
Andie laughed. "Yeah, sorry. Just making sure, you know." She made a confused face, which he found strangely amusing. "Do you know what this is?"
"It's a Digivice," he stated. She continued her confused look. "It controls the digimon here." Silence. "You know, forget it. I'll explain when you see one."
"Okay. Well, can you answer another question for me?"
"Was it that question?" She shook her head with a laugh. "Okay then."
"Where are we?"
"The Digital World."
"The Digital World," she repeated. The Digital World is a place of data. The data was formed to create an alternative universe that holds creatures known as digimon. Each digimon has an ability to grow stronger and change itself into a different, stronger, form of itself.
'Whoa, that came out of nowhere,' she thought. 'The Digital World? That's it! I give up trying to understand myself!'
"I wouldn't stop trying," Ken said.
She gave him a freaked out look. "How'd you know I just thought that?"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me. And yourself." He looked at her as she looked away. "You don't have anywhere to go. Come with me to my house."
"I don't know."
"Don't tell me your going to stay out here. In the dark. With lots of wild creatures running around."
"You make this place sound so appealing."
He held out his hand to her. She took it hesitantly. The minute he felt her touch him pain sear through him, but soon as it came he pushed it down and ignored it.
As soon as she touched him something ignited inside her chest. She felt powerful and strong. Strangely invincible.
"Do you like the feeling?" He asked. "The power?"
"Um…yeah. Its weird, but nice," she forced out. He laughed. He started to pull her towards his home. A dark little castle, very quaint. He hoped she wouldn't be freaked out by it. He needed her trust if he wanted to get her to destroy herself. And so far the plan was working out brilliantly. She already loved the power she was feeling.
When the castle came into view and she raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "That's pretty cool! Nice and dreary. You live there?" He nodded. "Wow, not bad. How old are you?"
"Fifteen, physically," he replied as he opened the door to the castle and followed her inside.
"Physically?" She asked.
"I'll explain it later." A bakamon floated out from a side hall. Andie jumped back. "Its okay. This is a digimon. A bakamon to be exact."
"Are they all this…scary?"
"No. Come on, I'll take you to a room." He led her through the huge castle. Finally they came to a room that would be impossible to find if you didn't know exactly where you were going. The same room he had kept her mother in. He opened the door. "Here you are. I'll come see you in the morning." She went in and he slammed the door behind her.
Andie jumped when she heard the door slam. It was so dark in the room. She looked back and saw the door had disappeared. She looked around the room. In the center was a bed. Well, she guessed it was the center. The darkness went on forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken opened the door to the room he had locked the precious child of light and hope in. She was lying on the bed asleep. "Wormmon!" A green worm crawled over. "Bring her to me when she wakes!"
"Yes, master," the worm said before Ken walked away. He waited quietly until the girl stirred. She sat up. "Hello."
Her eyes widened. "Am I dreaming or are you a digimon?"
"I'm a digimon. My name is Wormmon. I belong to Ken. He asked me to take you to him once you woke up."
She stood up. "Lead away."
They walked down the long winding halls. Finally they came to a large door that Wormmon slipped through. Andie walked up to the door, but only opened it enough to stick her head in. She saw Ken sitting in a throne-like chair staring into different computer screens that floated in the air. He looked up at her and she went into the room the rest of the way. "Hello." He jumped down from the chair and approached her. "Did you sleep well?"
"Sort of. It was peaceful at least." He knew why. He had not invaded her dreams last night.
"Good, I'm glad you're all rested. I have a few things planned for today."
"A few things?"
"Yes, I was going to help you start using your powers." She gave him a funny look. "Your powers. You didn't think all you could do was walk through glass and make little booboos disappear, did you?"
"I don't know what I can or can't do! This is new to me! I've never felt this power before! I didn't know I was…a freak." She clenched her hands into fists in frustration.
He grabbed her wrist of one of her hands. "You think you're a freak?" She didn't answer. "You are the most powerful being in the Digital World. You can disintegrate anyone who thinks you're a freak." She was about to laugh, but the serious look on his face told her that he wasn't joking. She tried to pull away, but he held tightly to her wrist. "And if you learned how to use the powers you had then you could easily break away from me. Come on. Don't struggle." He pulled her out of the castle and out into the Digital World.
Andie looked around. "Its so gray. Is it still early in the morning?"
"No. Actually it's close to noon. It looks gray to you because this is the part of the DigiWorld that's consumed by darkness," he said as he walked away from the castle.
She followed, not knowing what else to do. "If it's consumed by darkness isn't it dangerous to live here."
"For some." He glanced back at her. "For you."
She ran to keep up with him. His pace was rather fast for a fifteen year old. "But not for you?"
"Must you ask so many questions?" He exploded. "I have to deal with your intelligence level, but must I deal with your annoying voice too?" She instantly went silent. "Thank you. Now, don't speak until your told! Do you understand me?" Andie nodded. "Good. We're here."
Andie looked around and saw they were in the field from yesterday. "Why are we here?" She asked. He gave her a glare of death and she shut up.
"We're here because this gives us free space to use our powers." He turned his back to her. "Hmmmm, what can we use as target practice?"
"Target practice?"
He whipped around and pushed her to the ground. "Did I say you could talk? Yes, target practice." 'Why is it taking her so long to get mad?' Ken thought in frustration. 'At this rate I'll never get her powers to show themselves.'
She forced herself off the ground. "What is your problem?! I've done almost very thing you've told me! Who do you keep telling me to shut up?" She pushed him back.
As she pushed him back she felt energy flow through her body. The same energy she felt when she touched Ken. She felt powerful and she couldn't help, but like it.
"You feel it, don't you?" He asked from where he laid on the ground. "A great feeling of power. It overwhelms you and you can't fight it because it feels so good and you're invincible." She stared at him in disbelief as he stood up. "You wanna see what you can do?" She nodded. "Force all the energy into your hand and then point at something and let it go."
"That's it?" He nodded. "Alright." She held out her hand and tried to force the power that consumed her body into her hand. She pointed it at a tree at the end of the field. She let go of the power and a blinding light shot from her hand and hit the tree. The explosion caused her and Ken to fall to the ground.
When the light had disappeared they both looked up to where the tree had been. It was gone now, leaving only the black, singed earth. "Wow, that's a lot," she whispered, amazed.

There you have it, the fifth chapter. I hoped you liked it, please read and review. Now before I got I want to rant a bit. Please bear with me. Recently I wrote a Daikari fic, shocking I know. But why do people complain so much about a couple they don't like? If someone puts two characters together, don't complain about it! Why is it everyone hates Daikari, well most people hate daikari? There is too much Davis bashing! Okay, there's my rant, please review.
