She woke in a dark dungeon-like cell. It was damp and had a bitter taste in the air. Near the top of one of the walls, there was a small hole, fit for someone like her to fit through...if she could fly. She sighed. Where was Harper?
The aforementioned boy stood near the doorway that led to the staircase of the cell. He was positioned there like a statue, tuning in to her every thought. He heaved a sigh. His plan needed to start soon. He slowly walked down the stairs towards her.
Ileana crouched in the corner. She was glad that he had given her a large cell in which she could occupy space. Her claustrophobia was worse than that of many others. She heard his footsteps coming towards her so she quickly spoke.
"What do you want?"
"Remember when I told you we could have ruled the world? Well that's what I want" Harper replied with a sneer.
She quickly scanned him for any signs of her power.
He held the pendant in his hand. Only it was black. It couldn't have been hers...could it?
"I won't do it."
"Oh but dear one, that's what your powers are for." He said while turning the pendant into a vial.
"My powers were never meant to be used for that. I don't care what you think. It's not going to happen."
"What if I do this?" Harper asked.
He opened the vial and drank its contents.
"No..." She whispered. Of all the things the boy had to figure out, it was the one that would hurt all the digidestined.
"Yes." He said as he advanced towards her. He had an evil gleam in his eyes.
~Matt!~ Her mind screamed ~Take everyone and try to find a way out of the digiworld. Take whatever route you need. When the time comes, you can't hesitate because if you do, everyone will die~
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Matt's eyes widened.
[What time? Ileana, what are you talking about?]
~He's going to make me kill you. Matt, listen to me. If you have to kill me, then do it~
And with the last thought, they're conversation ceased.

One of the things that all people should know is that feigning ignorance buys time...about 33% of the time it's done at least. This was one of the 67% that didn't work.
"What are you doing?" She asked, her lips trembling.
"I think you know exactly what I'm going to do."
"No I don't," she whispered
"Fine, have it your way, but no matter what delays you cause, I will have my way. All I need is a day and it should be done hours before that." Harper said forcefully.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kari fell over suddenly. She had been feeling tired for a while but she figured it was just fatigue from running away.
TK rushed over to her.
"Are you alright?" he asked
"I'm fine but-"
"Hey! Look over here!" Mimi said pointing to the ground.
It was one of the strange screens which showed other events at the same time.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know very well. What I'm about to do is make you like me. My desires will become your desires and whatever I feel you shall as well." He said while taking another step towards her. They were face to face now.
"You can't do that."
"This is my castle and I can do whatever I want."
Ileana went to take another step backwards as he took one forward only to find that she had confined herself between him and the wall.
"Oh dear," he said tauntingly, "a trapped princess. What shall I do?"
He bent in towards her ear.
"Any last requests?" he asked her.
"Tell Matt I'm sorry." She whispered looking down to the ground.
"Consider it done as he is watching this event right now." Harper grinned sadistically.

"What is she talking about?" Sora puzzled
"I don't know but I think she knows exactly what's going to happen to her." Mimi said
Matt had kept to himself. What had she meant about that?
Tai slung his arm around Matt's shoulder, "Hey buddy, you've been down in the dumps for a while. Any thoughts about this?"
"She said that he was going to maker her kill us. I don't get how though."
"Well whatever he's doing, he's going to pay." Tai growled softly.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"How long?"
"Since I told you I needed less than a day to do this."
With that, he leaned in and captured her lips with a kiss.
