Part Two: Evil Makes Itself Known

Chapter Two: Curiosity Killed the Gatomon- Er Cat

Odaiba was crowed with the everyday bustle that was to be expected of a big city. The sun hung high in the light blue sky and shone on everything under it. It was late in the afternoon on the hot August day. Only the breath of the sea air gave relief from the hot sun. Star walked slowly through the throng of people. They were all to busy in their lives to even bother with the little black ball she held in her arms. It had made little hints as to if it were alive or not. He had only blinked twice but had been continually yawning on the way back from the TV station.

"You okay?" Star asked with much concern.

"Hmm? Yeah. I'm just sleepy," Allimon said yawning.

"I bet. Just hold on. We're almost there."

The little store on the corner was packed with customers, as it was every evening. Yolei sighed in relief as the last customers walked out of the store. It had been quite a day. They had saved another area from the grasps of the Digimon Emperor. But then there was that message. The message from a digimon the original Digidestined had known. But it was so confusing and cryptic she doubted if anyone could figure out what it meant. But why had he given it? What was his motive? Her thoughts where interrupted by another customer. She had long black hair and was holding something. 'A digimon!?'

"Hi! Can I out him-it-down on the counter while I grab a few things?" She asked.

The lavender haired girl nodded. Star put down the small black ball on the counter. It had beautiful blue-green eyes. 'Wait. Didn't the crest of light look like that?'

"Um…Excuse me? Where did you get this doll?"

"Oh that? I got him at the Red Dragon; that new toyshop that opened a few blocks down. I saw him and fell in love with him. He's cute, isn't he?"

Yolei nodded. 'But it still looks like a digimon!'

"Hey. Do you know what that little sign is on his forehead?" Yolei asked.

"Um…Heh, guess you don't believe that curiosity killed the gatomon-cat!" 'Dammit! I've sure blown it now.'

Yolei blinked. She had just said 'gatomon'. How the heck did she know?

Star quickly grabbed several things from different shelves and made a mad dash to the counter. "I kinda have to go. Do you mind ringing me up?" Star asked.

Yolei nodded and rung up the items. It had to be a digimon. She was being very suspicious. "Here's your change. Thanks!"

Star pocketed the coins and put the two bags in her backpack. "Bye!" She picked Allimon up and said something that confused Yolei even more. "I believe that the sign is the symbol of light." She winked and walked out of the store, leaving Yolei to ponder her suspicions.

"Phew! That was too close!" Star said as she walked onto the empty train.

"Star, might I remind you that you just told her what the symbol was?" The baby digimon gave her an annoyed look.

"I know. But I know what I'm doing. You just have to trust me. Okay?"

The little digimon blinked a few times and reluctantly nodded. Something was weird about her. She seemed too different for Allimon's comfort. But people do change. But did they change that drastically over a short time? Was it possible? Allimon sighed and looked out the window, towards the sea, watching the sun set in the purple and orange sky.

"Welcome to my humble abode! It's not much but my uncle pays for the rent and expenses!" Star said, smiling.

"It's so…What's that smell?"

"Oh that? It's my pet cats. Their cat food does make the place smell like fish. That's why I bought air freshener."

"Oh. Thanks."

Allimon hopped up on a counter and looked around. The apartment was perfectly set up. Everything seemed in its spot. The cats lounged on the couch in the living room. Pictures of people and places Allimon had never seen before hung on the walls. A worktable in front of the TV interested him. It was covered in paints, crayons and colored pencils. Papers littered the remainder of the table. Allimon jumped off the counter and looked at the papers. They were pictures of digimon. Some he had seen before and many he had never seen before. The ones he had seen before were matched to a t. There were many of his champion form; the form she had met him as but there was one of him. How had she known?

"Star? How did you know about this form?"

"A dream. I've seen many things in dreams. I think they may be visions of before or things that will happen. They don't happen very often though."

"What have you seen?"

"Nothing really important; just one about you coming back. It was right wasn't it?"

Allimon nodded. She was right. They may just be weird dreams. But they may not be. It was important but he was a very poor interrogator. He couldn't pull anything out of her tonight. He looked around again. The cats had vacated the room and left the couch covered in cat hair. The sun was almost under the horizon. The last bit of sunlight shone on red box. It was locked with a gold lock and had stars and moons on it.

"Star? What's in the box?"

Star grinned and walked over.

"Something special, well not really special. It's more interesting than special. It's…Well seeing is better than me telling you."

She pulled out a key, unlocked the small lock and opened the box. Nestled among purple silk were four pieces of a door. They were cut evenly as if whatever had done it has done it very fast.

"What happened to this door?"

Star grinned and picked one up. "When Myotismon was searching for Kari, Phantomon came here. I hadn't opened the door quickly enough for him so he sliced it with his scythe. The next-door neighbor had heard the noise and checked it out. She replaced the door for me. That scythe was covered in blood. I had it to my throat. I didn't know what to do…"

"You okay?"

Star nodded, "It's nothing."

"That scythe has claimed the lives of many digimon I knew. One of them was my best friend."

"I'm sorry…"

"It happens."

The stars winked down upon Tokyo that night. The full moon was well-hidden behind clouds of white and gray. Laughter rang through the night as girls walked by the apartment door. Star nestled under the soft sheets and looked over at her sleeping digimon. He was sleeping soundly as if nothing had ever happened. She put the bookmark in the book and flicked of the light.

A shrill cry came out from the dark and damp dungeon. The two guards hardly seemed to notice it. It was unbearably loud. It was bound to wake anyone up. The shadow of SkullMeramon picked up the bleeding figure and carried her out. It was a white cat, the blood now staining her fur red. Tears were flowing down her face like a waterfall. It hurt. It hurt terribly. She hadn't done anything wrong, but He didn't seem to care. A second figure followed the fire demon. A spectral figure holding a bloodstained scythe.

"So, Wizardmon, she disobeyed me and she paid, you're about to meet the same fate," A deep voice said. "I trust you'll pay the price."

The wizard closed his eyes. The vampire wasn't worth looking at. His was smirking a terrible smirk.

"I won't…" Wizardmon whispered to himself.

"You won't? That's not such a good idea. If you pay now it'll hurt less."

"I WON'T!" He screamed.

"Crimson Lightning!"

Allimon woke up with a start. He was drenched in a cold sweat. His back stung and his head was throbbing. Had it been a dream? Had it been a flashback? What had it been?

"Couldn't sleep either?"

"No. I'm not sure what happened."

"Don't worry about it. Try to get some sleep. We have a lot of catching up to do."

Allimon nodded and closed his eyes.

~*~

It was cold. An unbelievable cold that seemed to swallow Star. A cold fog swept around her in the darkness. The fog completely surrounded her like some evil blanket.

Don't worry, the fog seemed to say. Your soul is safe. It wasn't very convincing though.

"Hello, anyone! Is anyone there?" Star called to the fog. Nothing, only silence replied. "Is anyone there?"

"Yes," Said a deep voice. The voice was like ice. It drained what warmth was left in the room. "Someone is here." The voice seemed familiar. Who was it?

"W-who's there?" She asked nervously.

"You'd think she'd remember us. Wouldn't you?" A second familiar voice said.

"I agree. We were a big part of her life."

"Oh honestly you two. She's a Digidestined for crying out loud. A very pathetic Digidestined at that. But she does have what I want…" Star felt three ice-cold fingers stroking her neck. There were now goosebumps on every part of her body. If possible the room felt colder. The two figures hidden in the fog now were walking closer. She now knew who they were. She was frozen. She couldn't move. She felt as though she was glued to the ground.

"Really Daemon, they were planted for a purpose you'd never think of. They were planted for Myotismon's uses only and you know it."

"That's right. You'd have to kill me before I'd let you get them Daemon."

The figure behind her pulled her closer to the coldness. She felt two arms wrap around her and hold her close. She closed her eyes. 'This isn't happening. They're dead. They can't come back.'

"Oh is that so? I'll enjoy doing it when the time comes then."

The two figures in front walked into what little light that the room had to offer. 'No…They're dead…' Her limbs now felt like liquid. She felt limp in the others' grasp.

"So Daemon, what did you have planned for her?"

TBC…

Author's Note: Heheh…I'm evil. Hope you enjoy suspense! ^_^ More to come soon!
