Dawn yawned. Her mind was telling her to wake up, but her body wanted to sleep. She felt so warm and comfortable, as the warm body lay on top of here, sheltering her from any danger. As she tried to open her eyes she felt something warm against her lips. Dawn moaned softly as she returned the kiss. Her red eyes opened and greeted the monster with a warm smile. He returned the smile, displaying his rows of sharp white teeth, then leaned in to kiss her again. He smiled inside as he allowed her to feel his teeth with her tough, and relished the feeling of her fingers stroking his cheek. He whished for the entire world that nothing would stop this moment. That after he destroyed Daemon, he and Dawn would be this way still.

But he knew otherwise. He was no fool, although she loved him, and he knew it, that was only for the time being. He had watched her, been with her and began to know her enough to know, she would not choose him, over her friends, family, or the people of earth. She had been afraid and believed she might never see him again when they were together. She didn't hide her feelings last night. He knew she was scared, he could feel her trembling as he took her, and it just made him want more. He knew every thought going through her mind, especially last night. He could see all her hopes, her dreams her fears. He could see her hope for the earth to be as it was, for his rain to fall. Her fears to lose him, and her fears to be his. He could feel, the love for two others. The two who still made him mad with jealousy and anger. The two he feared she would turn to once he returned, once he was in control again. He felt her fear, so many fears, so may confused thoughts, she longing to do what was right.

It all made him feel strange. He had never cared for anything but power. He wanted to rule over all, to have every creature cower before him. He wished to block out the sun with his very shadow. He would think nothing of draining every creature on the planet to fulfill his longing to grow stronger. It was like a drug, when he first felt it, the feeling of power when he drained his first victim of their life, the power was so great, and he couldn't stand it. He wanted more no matter how bad he felt afterwards, after all he was only a rookie then. And he cried the whole night as he lay by his victim. He might have stopped at that; he didn't need to kill to live there be other ways. But no, it was before he killed his first. It was what the vaccines did to him, his family. He hated them for it, so he killed them. It was amazing a rookie could kill a champion so easily. It wasn't just any champion, it was a Gatomon. Poor little Gatomon, it wasn't her eyes he hated…no it was the eyes of the one he killed. Inside his old pet was the memory, in her eyes, every time he beat her, his slave, he remembered the time he first killed her, so long ago. She didn't remember but he did. Becoming stronger had seemed like the only thing that pleased him, his destiny to feel the world with the darkness in his heart, the darkness he hide away.

It wasn't so much that he felt guilty for all that he had killed or tortured. All the digimon he killed would live again, they weren't gone and he didn't care even if they were. It was that he had always been empty, he had never felt love, and so he didn't know how to love. Now he had found his love, he could feel love. He didn't understand it but he was starting too. Last night, he could see what life was like through Dawn's eyes. It was beautiful to her, there was so much he never knew, and it surprised him, how much her feelings were beginning to matter to him.

Now as the got up, he felt he drift away from him. Her thoughts were elsewhere, and he knew every one of them. Being with her, he had seen for the first time, what life could be like, and what he never had or wanted. He had been left wondering, what was life. Would spending an eternity seeking power make him happy? I hadn't so far, yet last night he was happy. She loved him, and it made him happy, really happy, was that all he needed? He didn't know for the first time ever he was questioning the need for power, and the longing to cause pain.

He held he close to him in his arms as he made his way towards the dark castle. They were both quite.

"Don't worry my sweet, I gained much power joining the night, I well defeat Daemon easily." He said reassuringly. Dawn said nothing, just nodded a little. He knew something was wrong he could feel it; he could feel her attempting to hide her thoughts from him.

"Tell me what's wrong my pet…" He whispered she looked at him with her red eyes, they were full of tears. He stopped, and set her down kneeling closer to her. He suddenly realizes he was blocked out, and he was quickly felled with fear, he had don something wrong.

"Dawn……." She turned away from him. "Dawn….….what did I do? Did I hurt you? I'm sorry I.."

"Its not you…" She said interrupting him, her eyes on the ground. "Its……what about the others."

"We will find them too…" He said trying to comfort her.

"That's not what I mean….after this….when we go back…I can't do this. I can't choose you." She said looking up at him.

"Why not?" His voice was cold again, and he glared at her. Dawn suddenly wish to be as far away from him as possible. As much as she had come to terms that she was in love with him the whole time, "regardless her feeling for Tai or Oikawa" but she also knew he was evil. He killed and tortured many, for the fun. He almost took over earth once before, and would have eaten all the humans in Odiba, he was in every way a monster, he was horrible. Worse he didn't even seem to care, and she found it hard to believe how someone could love one person yet nothing else. What was worse, what did he love more, power or her? Which would he pick when the time came?

"Dawn this is not the time for this, we shell discuses this matter…."

"Oh are the love birds fighting?" MaloMyotismon spun around facing the dark lady. "Oh don't mind me, please after all, it nothing I haven't seen….and you little girl, how do you do it without vomiting?" Dawn felt herself being pulled closer to her husband.

"What?" She asked hypnotized by her deep red eyes.

"How can you kiss him…." MaloMyotismon glared at the witch, she just smiled. "I mean maybe he was good looking once, even strong, hell there was once a time I would have let him taken me…" She said liking her lips. "But just look at you now….not only are you the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, but your all bent out of shape over that weak little human. Maybe that's what it is…" LadyDevimon jumped flew down closer to Dawn; MaloMyotismon pulled her against him tightly, and glared his fangs warning her to stay away.

"Is that what it little girl, do you think he'll change for you? Do you believe that?" She said circling. "We know otherwise don't we big boy…" He growled at her. "We know that as soon as you kill Daemon you will take her and lock her up in your dark castle. Sure you'll be nice to her for a while, let her little friends live, maybe even visit her, but once you think she yours….well that's when it stops. Take it from me cutie, last night might have been your choose, and he might have went easy on you last night…" Dawn blushed. "But just wait, he's not nice and we all know it. He'll get tired of the nice act and when he does….he wont be so easy. And lets not forget your little friend, when he started this whole thing it was because he wanted revenge….he'll get it, do you really think he will choose you over his plans. You belong to him now girly, and he can do what ever he wants to you…"

"Silence you witch!" MaloMyotismon showed, felled with a mix of anger and to his surprise guilty, for hearing the truth.

"Oh that's rich coming from you…" A deep voice hissed from behind him. Daemon smiled was hidden by his cloak. "And we both know its true Myotismon….however, maybe you stupid little human toy believes you still. In which case, I have a little demonstration…" Daemon waved his hand Dawns eye nearly feel out of her head, Ken, Tai, Mimi, Kari were tired up helpless, and there digimon reduced to baby's.

"Ken!" Dawn cried running towards them. She was quickly stopped, by the vampire digimon. "Let me go!!!" she shouted trying to break free.

"Stay still!" He boomed. "And Daemon, just what do you think your doing…"

"Tell me Dawn, you love your friends don't you…" Daemon said. Dawn nodded. "And you would do anything to protect them right?" Again the girl nodded, as her husband boiled inside wondering what his enemy was getting at.

"Do you love MaloMyotismon?" Daemon asked enjoying the enraged look on the vampires face. Dawn just stood there stunted. "Tell me, do you love him?"

"Yes…" Dawn said softer then what she had wanted.

"And I bet if he were in trouble, you would want to protect him right." Again the girl nodded. And when it comes down to it you would do anything if you knew it was important to him, if you knew how much he wanted it…"

"Yes!" Dawn said firmly, and it was true, they all knew it.

"And I bet you believe he loves you and would do anything to protect you right?"

"Of course I love her!" The evil lord roared.

"I wasn't asking you!"

"He came to save me didn't he?" Dawn said not taking her eyes off Ken and her friends.

"He did…Daemon said calmly, so I guess there so doubt he loved you, but just because he loves you doesn't mean much.

"What do you mean?" Dawn asked confused.

"Well dear, you would do anything for him right, and I bet even regardless of whether you knew how much it meant to him or not. I believe you would child, you have a good heart, and it makes me sick. Your husband on the other hand…" Daemon said slyly. "Well let just say he knows what the most importuned thing in the world to you is. But one must wonder, if given to choose what would he choose?" Dawn was confused now.

"Let find out, shell we." Daemon spoke wickedly. "Your friends here, I have little use for them, and frankly couldn't care less whether they live or die. However, you care, he knows you care, so what will you do MaloMyotismon." They evil vampire growled with anger, before he knew it they were surrounded by Daemons army. He was trapped.

"I will give you a choose, here and now, vampire. If you surrender your kingdom and power to me, I will spare all of them, the girl, her friends, and leave you here in the dark ocean forever. You understand I just can't let you leave her after are deal because I know you far too well, you would come after me. So you can choose to save the ones your love loves…or…." Daemon snapped his fingers, a great pool of darkness appeared in the sand, and the children were lifted over it. Dawn eyes were full of tears.

"No please, Daemon don't I'll do anything!" She cried. Daemon smiled.

"I know, but will he?"
