Dedicated to FireAngel. Thanks for your reviews. Of course, I can't tell
you otherwise that would be spoiling the surprise.

The digidestined had found a clearing in the forest and had settled down. An evil presence washed over them.
"What was that?" TK asked nervously.
Suddenly a light shone on the ground. They could see what was happening between Ileana and Harper.

"What? Never thought someone would betray you? Well guess what? I just did." Harper said evilly. He threw her to the ground.
Ileana coughed. Harper was evil, yes but not this evil.
He walked over to where he lay and crouched down beside her. He drew a dagger out of his pocket.
"You're about to die." He brought it to her face. "You were always beautiful in my eyes. It's just too bad that you betrayed me all those years ago."
"What are you talking about?"
"Pity you don't remember. However now you can feel my pain." He slit her cheek.
Ileana quickly covered the side of her face with her hand.
"None of that now," Harper said as he pulled her hand away. "You see, I know who you are. The question is, do you?"
She glared at him. "I do." She insisted.
"Right, now let's see...what was that special date? Oh yes. What happened in July five thousand years ago?"
"Nothing special." She snapped.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that."
"Well gee, if you're so smart, tell me what happened in your eyes."
"That was when you met me."
"You are a liar."
"No I'm not. You just don't understand what has been happening all these years. You don't bleed because you don't have blood. You're not human. You were the one who could have ruled the world. But you didn't. You had to go with Azelle. Then when Caine died and Azelle was put into that bulb, you left the old world for the future."
"You're lying. You always were. Nothing you say can be true." In her heart though she was having terrible visions of the past.
"You know I'm right. Why would you be shaking otherwise?"
"It's cold," Ileana said quickly
Harper shook his head. "Your heart is cold and that's all the life you have."
Ileana glared at him. She wasn't sure if she would regret is but she conjured up a bow and arrow.
"What? Now you're going to shoot me? I thought you had more compassion than that."
Ileana ignored him and aimed at his shoulder.
Harper clutched his arm in pain while giving her a chance to escape.

When Ileana appeared next to the digidestined, she was bombarded by questions.
"OK. One at a time." She said irritated.
"Why did he turn evil?" Kari asked
Ileana sighed, "I honestly have no idea why."
"What's with the thing about Azelle? Who is she? Did you know her?" TK asked.
"Azelle...Azelle was my best friend."
"How old are you?" Mimi asked narrowing her eyes.
"I'm eighteen as far as I know but I feel older. I feel as if I've lived more than one life."
"What was Harper saying about you and you not being human?"
She sighed, she knew she couldn't hide it forever.
"Alright. Fine. I'll tell you the truth."
