The LETTERS
AN: Hi Everyone, thanks to everyone who reviewed Ch. 1, your comments are very encouraging to someone who has never written a story before. Now for everyone's viewing enjoyment here's Ch. 2. And since I forgot last time I shall now mention for all those who don't know that:
I DON'T OWN DIGIMON!!! Did you know that? I hope so. If you didn't, now you do. All right onwards with the show, or story. Erh, whatever.
Chapter 2: Discussions and Another Letter
Setting: Mimi Tachikawa's House
"T.K. I'm glad you could make it. Oh hi Tai, Kari. I thought T.K. was gonna come over with Matt and Sora?" The blonde haired holder of the Crest of Sincerity asked as she answered the door and ushered in her fellow digi-destined.
"Well I was going to, but Matt wanted some time alone with her. Besides I was over at Kari's house anyway studying for a test we have at the end of the week." T.K. replied as he hung up his coat in the Tachikawa's closet.
"Oh. Well come on in. There some soda and snacks in the kitchen so help yourself in you're hungry." Mimi told the trio, trying to be a good host to her friends.
"Thanks Mimi, but actually I was wondering if we could all sit down and talk for a sec." Tai asked her as soon as he had hung up his coat. Mimi could tell from the look on his face that it was serious, and she had a pretty good idea what it was about. She too had received the disturbing note in her mailbox. She still couldn't get those words out of her head.
I know you're secret,
the world you seek to protect.
But you won't be able to protect her from me.
"Yeah Tai. I think that might be a good idea. Especially if you received a letter like the one I got today." Mimi told him, trying to get to the point. She never was one for beating around the bush, she'd rather come right out and say what's on her mind.
"Did you guys get a letter too? Oh no, I was hoping it was some fluke. But if we all received it, then the world the author's talking about has to be the digital world, right?" T.K. asked, dismayed at the news that he and Matt weren't the only ones to receive such a frightening letter.
"I think you're right T.K. but let's wait until everyone's here before we jump to conclusions. Is everyone besides Matt and Sora here Mimi?" Tai asked, trying to squelch the panic rising in his stomach. Who could have written such a thing?
"Yeah Tai, you're right. We could all be making a big deal out of nothing right?" Mimi questioned, hoping the others felt like this was all some sick joke. But one look at the grim faces of her friends reaffirmed her intial thoughts. This was no joke, and whoever was behind this was very serious.
"Well everyone else is here but Matt and Sora. I hope they get here soon. The sooner we talk about this the better I'll feel." Mimi admitted to her friends. Never in her worst nightmares had she ever imagined something like this happening to them. Somewhere, someone knew that the twelve of them were digi-destined, a secret that they had fought over the years to keep. Now this person was sending them a letter threatening to harm one of the twelve, and according to the message there was no way to stop whoever was behind this.
Setting: The Tachikawa Living Room: An Hour Later
"All right now that we're all here, I want to know how many of us received the letter in the mail today?" Tai asked when they were all gathered around the living room. As he looked at each one of his fellow digi-destined, he couldn't help but think of how much the group represented a family. Each one of the people seated around the table held a special place in his heart, they were a second family to him. Several seconds passed by before people began raising their hands, and moments later everyone had a hand in the air.
"Ok. We need to know if each of us received the same letter. The letter Kari and I received said, I know your secret, the world you seek to protect. But you won't be able to protect her from me. Did anyone receive a note that said something besides this?" Tai questioned, knowing the answer already. Slowly everyone got over the shock of hearing those words that had left them feeling frightened and cold that very after afternoon, and shook their heads. Everyone had received a note, and each note held the same disturbing words.
"Tai, I don't know about anyone else but the world mentioned, does this person mean the digital world? I can only assume since we all received the same letter that this is the world the author is talking about. But…. How could he have come to know about the digital world?" Matt asked trying to figure out what the meaning was behind the disturbing words.
"I think you're right Matt. I think this author is referring to the digital world? As to how he knew, I don't know. I don't have any idea who this person is, for that matter, I don't know if this is a he or she we're talking about. But… I know the person they're after is a she. It says so in the note. We gotta figure out who is behind this!" Tai told everyone, a few were surprised because they had assumed this person was a guy, but realized Tai was right, there was no way to tell whether this person is a guy or girl.
"So what do we do? Isn't there a chance this is all some sick joke. I keep expecting Gennai to pop out and say, haha I got you all." The auburn haired holder of the crest of love asked everyone. Sora was already scared, and the fact that this whole thing could really be serious and not some joke was too frightening for her to accept.
"Well… I don't know. I can't think of anyone who would pull a joke like this, even Gennai. However, it might be a good idea to contact him and let him know what's going on. He might be able to give us some clues about who it is. Who knows maybe this is actually a new evil digimon. We're assuming this person is human, right? Well from what I can tell, we're not in a position to assume anything. As for what we can do. I don't really know. We gotta figure out who is behind this, and the sooner the better. I would suggest you girls be on guard. Whoever it is, is after one of you." Tai told everyone, trying to reassure all the frightened people before him.
"What happens if we get another letter?" Cody asked. He had been quiet through most of the exchange, but he was frightened too. Everyone turned to look at him, realizing this was a very real possibility.
"Let's hope there aren't anymore. But at the same time it would give us more clues to this person's identity. I think we've exhausted this topic. I don't know what else there is to say. We obviously can't go the authorities or our parents because they'd want to see the notes and then we would have some explaining to do. So for now keep an eye out for anything weird happening. And let's drop this topic for now and try to have some fun, K?" Tai told everyone, even as his mind rebelled against the thought of having any kind of fun when someone was out there threatening a member family.
"Yeah you guys. We can watch some movies or play some games. We still haven't ordered the pizza yet either." Mimi told everyone, grasping on to the idea. Anything to make her forget this situation.
"Oh pizza definitely sounds good, as long as it has pepperoni." Matt said trying to lighten the mood, knowing everyone was aware of Sora's hatred of pepperoni.
"Oh no pepperoni Matt. You know I hate that stuff. And a movie sounds good as long as it's a comedy or something that's not full of suspense and horror." Sora joked, she knew Matt wasn't serious and was only trying to lighten the mood.
"You'd better make it without onions too Matt, or Sora might not want to come near you.." Tai joked at his friend's expense.
"Believe me Tai onions wouldn't make a difference to me." Sora said smiling over at her boyfriend.
Setting: Obediah Street: Morning Later
After such an exhausting night with her friends, she knew she needed some time away to think
about what had transpired last night. Everything that had been happening felt like a horrible nightmare.
Slowly she sucked in her breath as she felt someone's eyes following her movements. Knowing that coming
out here by herself had been a bad idea she quickly walked back to the house. She thought maybe she should
mention the fact that someone had been following her to her friends, but decided against it. It was probably just her imagination, everything that had been happening had left her feeling tense and vulnerable.
The Watcher was delighted at this morning treat, all those kids had been up quite late trying to quelch the fear the notes had created. The watcher wasn't suprised that the notes had created quite a stir, but was very upset to learn there were some who thought this was all some sick joke. Laughing the watcher knew that eventually they'd learn that this was no game, although there was most definitely a prize.
Setting: Obediah Middle School: Two Weeks Later
"TK! Come here." Kari called to the brown haired boy passing by her locker.
"Hey Kari. What's wrong?" TK asked her as he noticed the panicked and frightened look on her face. Slowly and with a look of dread on her face Kari passed TK the plain white envelope she had found in her locker only moments ago.
"Oh god. After all this time I had began to think it was a joke." TK asked as he saw what she had in her hand. He took the envelope from her and slowly ripped the seal. Inside on a single white sheet of paper like before TK read words that frightened him beyond anything he'd ever experienced before. He'd gladly fight an army of Dark War Greymons than read words like these.
You don't know when I'll strike,
But I'll tell you now that it will be soon.
Which one of you digi-destined will it be,
Which of you has become my fantasy.
"TK. I'm frightened…. This isn't a joke is it.?" Kari whispered to her best friend. Praying his words would somehow contradict what she felt in her heart.
"No it's not Kari." TK told her, knowing the truth was better than a lie. And as she cried all he could do was pull her into his arms and hold her, wishing somehow that he could take the fear and pain away.
AN: Is this the last of the Letters or are there still more to come? Does Gennai have any clues to this person's identity. Who is this mysterious Watcher? Is it a human or an eveil Digimon? Find all this out and more in the next chapter of Digimon, Digital Monsters!
