Born of Angels

This is the sequel to Kari's Secret or a Forgotten Past, whichever title you prefer.


Andie sat up. She was back in the dark room. "So it wasn't a dream. I'm still here," she whispered. She got up only to fall off the bed and onto the ground. She couldn't move. At least not her legs. Whatever Ken had done before it paralyzed her.

"Heal them," a voice said.

"Who said that?" Andie yelled.

Ken walked out of the darkness. He sneered at her. "Can't you figure anything out for yourself?" She didn't argue, instead she sneered back at him. "Heal your goddamned legs!"

She jumped, as much as her dead legs would allow. She cursed before she closed her eyes. Nothing happened. "How do I do it?"

"Think about what you want and then do it," he replied.

She did exactly what he said. 'I want to walk.' Then she added, 'So I can kick his ass.'

Ken watched as she began to emit a painfully bright light. He closed his eyes and looked away, but the light still hurt his eyes.

Andie felt the feeling return to her legs, but she still wasn't confident they would work. She used her arms and the bed to pull herself up off the floor. Her legs ached from lack of use or forgotten use. Maybe both. Once she was steady she met Ken's stare. "You paralyzed me."

"Is that a question or a statement?"

"Both."

"Then yes, I did." He walked out of the room and she followed.

"What is with you? I thought you wanted me on your side."

"I do. But to be on my side you can't be weak."

"I'm weak?" She knew the answer. Of course she was, she couldn't even stand up to Ken successfully.

"Yes." He turned down a side hall. "Just like your parents," he added in a whisper.

"What about my parents?"

"You heard that? Forget it. They're dead."

"But you knew them?"

"I said forget it!"

"But-" He backhanded her before she could say anything else. The force sent her flying into the wall. She slumped to the floor as he walked away.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked.

She looked up and saw a small white cat sitting on the floor in front of her. She glanced around hoping to find the source of the voice, but there was none. She gave the cat a funny look. "Did you just say something?"

"Of course I did. Who else would it be?" Not only was it a talking cat. It had an attitude.

"You must be a digimon." The cat nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Yeah, sure. Get up. I'll get you cleaned up." Andie got up and followed the cat down the hall. Soon they turned into a dead end.

"Where are we going?" Andie asked.

"Sh!" The cat placed a gloved paw on the wall and it opened. They stepped in and the door slammed shut causing Andie to jump. "You have to be quiet. Ken doesn't know I'm here."

"You're in hiding? Why?" They continued to walk down another dark hall. They turned again and were now in a small room, which looked like a one-roomed apartment.

"Ken doesn't know I'm here. If he did he's either kill me or enslave me. Have a seat." She motioned to the table. Andie sat down and the cat jumped up on the table beside her. "So are you a DigiDestined?"

"No…I don't think so. What's a DigiDestined?"

"Do you have a digimon?"

"No."

"Do you have a Digivice?"

"I have one in my possession, but it doesn't belong to me."

"Then what are you doing here in the DigiWorld?"

"I don't know."

"Let me see where Ken hit you." Andie let the cat see her cheek. "You're bleeding. He hit you hard."

"Its probably where I slammed into the wall." A cold, wet compressed pressed against her cheek. She felt to see what it was. It was a wet cloth.

"Why'd he hit you?"

"Not sure exactly. I asked about my parents and he backhanded me. I guess I was just being an idiot. He told me to drop the subject, but I press further."

"That doesn't give him any right to hit you. Why would he know about your parents?"

"I don't know. My parents died a long time ago so when he mentioned something about them I jumped at the chance to know about them. There are a lot of things I don't know. Like if they had weird powers too or if I'm the only freak in the family."

"You have powers? What's your name?"

"Andie."

"Do you have a last name, Andie?"

"Ishida."

The cat gave her a funny look. "Yamato Ishida?"

"He's my papa."

"I can tell. You have his blue eyes. By the way, my name is Gatomon."

"You knew my papa?"

"Yes. Back when he was a young boy. Who's your mother?"

"Her name's Sora."

"Sora Takenouchi?"

"Its Ishida now. You knew her too?"

"Yeah…" Gatomon studied Andie. "They're aren't your real parents, are they?"

"Huh? What makes you figure that?" Andie asked as she pulled the compress from her cheek. Blood dotted it.

Gatomon ran a paw over her cheek. "The cuts gone. You really look nothing like Sora, that's how I figured you weren't hers. There's this feeling I get about you. A feeling I only got when I was around my partner and her husband. So who are your real parents?"

"Hikari and Takeru Takaishi."

"Hikari Takaishi?" Gatomon's mouth dropped. "Her baby. Kari's baby! Oh my god, you've grown up so much!" Morgan backed away a little. "Don't move!" Gatomon ordered. "If I told you that you could meet your mother, your real mother, what would you say?"

"I'd say I don't want to hear it. My mother is dead. She has been since I was one or whenever."

Gatomon scratched her across the cheek. "She's not!"

Andie jumped off the table and reached into her pocket, hoping to find something she could throw at the berserk cat. Her hand wrapped around a solid object and she held it up. It was the digivice she had found. As she pointed it at Gatomon a bright light flashed and consumed the cat. "Gatomon digivolve to…Angewoman!" When the light disappeared an angel stood in the place where Gatomon had been.

Andie backed away in fright until she fell backwards. She continue to scoot backwards on her butt until she pinned herself against the wall. The angel approached her. "Don't be afraid."

Andie laughed nervously. "One minute you're a cat, who's smaller than me. The next you're an angel whose bigger than me. I don't like that! I'm gonna be just a little freaked!"

"You have nothing to fear. I won't hurt you; in fact I'll protect you with my life. My name is Angewomon and I am the advanced form of Gatomon."

"Digimon can change forms?"

"They can advance or grow weaker and smaller." The angel extended a hand to Andie and helped her off the floor.

"That's kind of cool," Andie laughed again. "So, about my mother…"

"Ah, yes. I figured you'd want to see her."

"Are you promising me that it's her? Because if it she or this person isn't, I don't want to know."

"Your very cautious about this, aren't you?" The angel walked out of the room and beckoned for Andie to follow.

"I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm very happy with the family I have," she replied. She looked away and whispered, "Unfortunately I think I killed my papa's love for me completely."

"Well, it's down this way." They got to another dead end and the angel placed a hand on it.

The wall opened and standing there was Ken and several scary looking creatures. "Grab them both," Ken ordered. The five creatures jumped on top of Angewomon and pinned her to the ground. The other two grabbed Andie and held her to the wall. Ken walked up to Angewomon. "I let you live here and I have let you take care of that horrible woman that that brat," he pointed at Andie. "Calls her mother! Never once did I interfere with your plans of allowing her to live because I would have allowed her to die! But now you're interfering with my plans!" He kicked the angel in the side.

"Stop it!" Andie screamed.

He turned back to Andie. "Shut up! I will deal with you in a moment." He pointed at her and she bit him. "You- Take her away. Do something with her until I can deal with her myself!" The scary creatures pulled Andie away. She tried to look over her shoulders, but she couldn't. She could still hear Ken though. "I have had enough of you. Shall I kill you now or wait? Maybe I'll kill the pathetic angel of light in front of your eyes! Is that the way it has to be?" His screams faded away as the things dragged her down a long hall. They got to a door and opened it. They shoved her in and slammed the door shut.

She fell to her knees by the source of their push. The door slammed shut and she forced herself up onto her feet. She was alone in a room of darkness. "Again with the dark," she whispered uncomfortably. 'I hate the dark!' "How morbid is this guy?"

She sat down and looked up at the ceiling. She couldn't find it. All she saw was shadows, as if there was no ceiling and the dark went on forever and ever. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. Behind her eyelids she could see monsters of all kinds, threatening her. "God, I want to go home."

"Who's there?" A voice called out in the darkness. Andie didn't say anything. "Don't try to hide now! I know you're here!" A young woman stepped out of a blanket of shadows. Her brown hair draped softly over her shoulders and Andie recognized something about her. She looked down at Andie. "Hello, what are you doing here?"

"I-I…um… Ken threw me down here. I was fighting with him," Andie jumped to her feet.

The woman walked up to her. "What's your name?"

"Andie, ma'am," Andie replied.

"Drop the ma'am, Andie. It makes me sound like an old lady," she laughed. Andie smile a weak smile and nodded in obedience. "Are you shy?"

"Um…not usually. All of a sudden I am though."

"What are you doing in the Digital World, Andie? Are you a DigiDestined?" Andie looked up into the woman's soft brown eyes.

"Is a DigiDestined a person who has a digivice and a digimon?" The woman nodded. "No, I'm not. I don't know what I'm doing here, to be honest. I was at home and I got sucked into my computer. Then I woke up here and Ken found me. He's been beating up on me ever since." Andie bit her lip. "What's your name?"

"Kari," the woman smiled.

"Kari? That was my mother's name."

"Really? What was your name again?" Kari asked.

"Andie," Andie smiled. Kari looked at her with a sudden worry in her eyes.

"What year is it where you come from, Andie?"

"Its 2024. Why?" Andie asked.

"Oh my god… I've been stuck here for fifteen years…" Kari mumbled.

"You did what?!" Ken screamed at the Veggiemon. "You stuck her in the same room as her mother? You fools! Get out of my sight before I turn you into a salad!" The Veggiemon ran off. "That's it! I will destroy that insolent child!"

He ran down the hall toward where the Veggiemon had taken Andie. He pulled opened the door. Inside Andie and Kari were talking quietly. He took out his whip that he used on Wormmon and allowed it to strike Andie. She fell to the floor and Kari looked up. "Leave her alone Ken!"

"Get out of my way, you worthless-" Andie jumping up and pushing him to the ground cut him off. She punched him in the face. "Stop it or I will kill Gatomon!" Andie froze. Ken pushed her off and he got up. "You will pay for that. Dearly." Ken approached Andie, but before he could reach her a blast of light hit him, knocking him to the floor. Andie glanced over and saw the blast had come from Kari. "I said don't touch her. Andie, get out of here!"

Andie began to run for the door. She stopped and turned back. "What about you?"

"I can't leave this room. RUN!" Kari ordered.

Andie ran. Just as she got to the door something knocked her to the floor and wrapped around her midsection, pinning her arms to her side. Ken walked up and yanked her off the floor. A smoky black shadow wrapped around her waist. She struggled with no avail.

"Let her go!" Kari prepared for another attack, but before she could Ken released one. She flew back, landing thirty feet away with a sickening crack of bones and a cry of pain.

"Kari!" Andie screamed, but the girl didn't move.

"Shut up!" Ken backhanded her once again. She fell to the floor, face burning in pain. Ken pulled her off the floor and dragged her out of the room.
