NOTE: THIS STORY HAPPENS IN SEASON 1, AS IN MOST OF MY FANFICS, SO DON'T BE
EXPECTING DAVIS OR TAKATO TO SUDDENLY MAKE AN APPEARANCE!
Matt and Tai trudged through the blustering cold, looking for food. The snowy winds whipped against their faces as they shivered. Suddenly, Tai caught sight of a strange figure lying on the ground, silhouetted against the darkening skies. He nudged Matt's shoulder, not daring to move from his spot.
Matt turned. "What is it, Tai?"
Tai pointed. "What's that?"
"What? I don't see anything," Matt replied.
Indeed, the figure was gone.
"Maybe... I was seeing things." Tai shook his head, looking down. I coulda sworn I saw something.
The two continued on the trek. Suddenly, Tai caught sight of the same ominous figure lying on the ground. He once again tapped Matt's shoulder, not daring to look away.
But just as Matt started turning around, a snowflake flew into Tai's right eye. He furiously clawed at it, and when he looked up, the thing was gone again.
Matt gritted, "I don't find this very amusing, Tai. If you don't stop-"
Get out of here. Get out now!
Tai glanced around. "What was that??"
Matt replied, "What was what?"
"You didn't hear it?"
"Hear what?" Matt asked.
"I-it was a voice. Some kind of a... voice." Tai was trying to sound confident, but inside, he was ready to break down crying.
"Did you hear what this 'voice' said?" Matt smirked.
"Clear as crystal," he replied. "It said-"
Before Tai could finish his sentence, he fell on the snowy ground, unconscious.
When Tai awoke, his head was resting on a log, and the snowstorm had subsided. He was wrapped in heavy blankets, and he had dry clothes on. He could see Matt and Izzy conversing in the background, but he took little notice when Sora walked over with a cup of hot tea.
"Good, you're awake!" she said. "Now drink this, it will make you feel better."
She pressed the steaming cup to his lips, and he took a sip. The warm tea felt good as he swallowed it. He tried to reach for the cup, but his arms wouldn't budge.
Sora spoke up. "Izzy said you caught hypothermia. Matt even said something about you playing a prank on him, and then saying you heard a voice. Before you could tell him what it said, you passed out, and he brought you here."
Suddenly Izzy turned and pointed at Tai, and he and Matt walked over.
"How ya doin'?" Matt asked.
Tai tried to say "good", but no words came out. He was barely able to open his mouth.
"Don't try to talk, Tai," Izzy said. "Just try to get some rest."
As he and Matt left, Sora had Tai drink some more tea. As he was taking a sip,
Leave. Never come back.
Tai widened his eyes in horror, and Sora took the cup away.
"Is there something wrong, Tai?" she asked.
Of course, there was nothing Tai could do to reply.
