Invisible Enemies: The Flame Burns Bright


A few blocks away from the Kamiya residence, in a small apartment on the third floor, the bathroom was blanketted in steam. Jamie used a towel to clear the misted mirror, and took a hard look at her body. She sighed and brushed her shiny, brown hair. The night was warm so she had dressed in blue sweat pants, and a white tank top with spaghetti straps. She went to the kitchen and read the note pinned on the refrigerator door, "Jamie, I'm sorry I couldn't be home for dinner tonight again, I have to work late at the office- Mum" she said out loud. She rolled her eyes and scanned the fridge for a morsel of food, "Let's see, ooh, I think Kalamon will like this," she said, taking out some sushi that Jamie's mother had left over from her lunch earlier that day. She went into her room and fed her little digimon the sushi. "Aren't you going to have anything?" asked Kalamon before she bit into the California roll, "No, I'm good, besides, you have to keep up your strength." She got up and stretched her arms up to the ceiling, then bent down and touched her toes. She was very agile and flexible, and she looked very athletic. She opened her window and allowed the fresh breeze to greet her face. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. "What was that?" asked Kalamon suddenly, Jamie turned around having heard something too. She promptly shut the window and walked cautiously into the kitchen. The apartment was small but very dark, she treaded slowly and gently, turning around in all directions and being careful not to make a sound. She suddenly felt an arm curl around her waist and a hand came over her mouth. She was surprised, but strangely, not scared. There was a familiarness in the body that hugged her closer, without thinking twice she manouevered her arm to grip the attacker and threw him to the ground, thud! The attacker landed on the hard wooden floor next to the coffee table. "Geeze Jamie, where'd you learn that from?"

Jamie stepped back and turned the light on. What she saw, much to her amazement was a young boy, "D-D-Dylan, is… is that you?" she almost passed out but he had gotten up from his position on the floor and helped her to the couch. "The one and only!" he said with a charming smile. He held her hand tightly and placed his arm around her shoulder. Kalamon made sure to stay out of sight, although she didn't like the thought of this new boy being near Jamie, she got a weird vibe off him, but she was unsure of her feelings. Jamie untangled herself from Dylan's arms, fighting off the emotions that had now taken over her head. "What's the matter babe?" he asked turning her face toward his, "Aren't you glad to see me?" Jamie stood up and walked to the window on the other side of the room, "What do you want and why are you here?" she asked, there was now a coldness in her voice, and the room went deathly silent. "Well, to tell you the truth…" She scoffed at his remark, "Yeah, that would be a first" she said cockily, "Don't be that way babe, I know, I know I've screwed up in the past, but,… but I've changed, I swear." His words flooded Jamie's thoughts, I've heard this all before, I can't go through it again, I won't! thought Jamie to herself. She turned to look outside the window, Dylan walked over to her and put his muscular arms around her waist, it's amazing, he still manages to make my legs go wobbly at his slightest touch, I feel secure in his arms, but it's all fake, imaginary, I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before, thought Jamie. She remembered last summer, the days went by so fast, the time she had spent with Dylan, she was so in love, she was so sure. She remembered the time out in the field, the way they had played in the long dry grass, when they had gone swimming, and climbebd rocks and trained. They had always trained together, he had new techniques, which he had taught her. It was the best summer of her life, then it ended. He took off and she hadn't heard from him since, until this very moment. Jamie felt herself giving in to him, her wild spirit, her very soul seemed to burn brighter and fight with a new found rage, a new edge. *ding-dong* Jamie was knocked back into reality and she removed Dylan's arms from her body and shoved him into the closet before he had a chance to protest. She walked to the door taking in deep breaths in an attempt to clear her mind and slow her racing heart. She looked through the peephole and was surprised to see Tai, standing patiently outside her door. She mumbled something like, "Wow, two surprise guests in one night, could this get any better?" as she opened the door. Tai gave her a warm smile as he saw Jamie face appear out of the door, "Hey Jamie!" he said, "Hi Tai, what a nice surprise, what are you doing here?" answered Jamie.
I was wondering that myself, what am I doing here? Thought Tai. "I was taking a walk and since I was in the area, I thought I'd pay you a little visit," he said after a pause. This is unusual, he never does this type of thing, maybe Kari sent him to check up on me, but why? Thought Jamie, "Look, umm Tai, this isn't really a good time, I just got out of the shower and…" he looked down and Jamie thought he looked a little disappointed, but disregarded the thought, "Yeah, right, I have to get home anyway or my parents'll freak. Have a good night Jamie." He smiled and then left the building. I feel awful! Ooh Tai, I'm so sorry, thought Jamie as she closed her apartment door. "Who was that?" asked Dylan, with a tinge of jealousy in his voice, "Hmm… oh, he's just a friend," replied Jamie softly.
