Chapter 11
The Key is Taken
A/N: Ok- you have boosted my ego for the day :D thank you guys for all the reviews- we've hit an all time high for Kate!!!
Anyway- for those of you who wonder- I usually like to finish writing the stories before I post them- my biggest pet peeve is authors who leave me hanging for months! Kate can't stand the suspense!!!!! So I don't like letting you peoples wait for my updates. I usually just have to type them and then I upload them here and : Ta Da!
Ok- with that said and done- I have to admit I'm speechless with the response to this story- my first bunch of Taiora never made it past the 40 mark with reviews (well most of them) and now these number- wow! And to think I was going to give up posting :) But if people are reading them and likening them- I might was well continue right?
I'll shut up now-
Disclaimer- you know this stuff!
"My treasure all gone…" Davis muttered.
"SHUT UP! Don't you see that Sora's more important than any of that?" Kari yelled. Tai sat bound extensively, with his head low with shame. He felt horrible. 'She must hate me now… I've betrayed her..' he thought to himself.
"TAI! Quit moping over there!" Matt yelled. "They've got your girl and you're going to allow them to hurt her?"
"She needs your help." Yolei said. "If they force her to open the sanctuary and their intent is a dark one, she will die!"
"What?" TK and the rest gasped. Tai's eyes widened.
"But I thought she…"
"By having us here they're using YOU to get her to open it!" Cody added.
"So suck it up and go save her already! At least put up a fight for her!" Matt told his friend.
-
"Sir, she's waking up." A man's voice said.
Her world of darkness was slowly beginning to lighten. The first thoughts that came to her mind was Tai… he… he was just using her. She wanted to curl up in a ball and die. Her life mate was only after the thing everyone else wanted. She was again a pawn in someone else's game.
Her thoughts were disrupted suddenly as a familiar voice called out for her. She became aware of her surroundings for the first time. She felt weak, the cloths she was wearing weren't the ones Kari gave her- she had been placed in an exquisitely made silk garb. The patterns on it looked familiar…she had seen her mother in something quite similar to the kimono style garment. It had been the traditional religious robe of her people.
"Good day to you my dear. So nice to see you again." Gallawano's voice called as he stepped into the little hut she laid in. Her hands and feet were bound, prohibiting much movement.
"I've heard you know how to talk- how come you never spoke to me before?" The man roughly drew his hand to her chin and stroked her pale face.
"So beautiful… just like your mother…"
Sora's eyes went wide- 'how did this man know my mother?' she asked herself.
"I can see you are wondering how I know about your kind and you mother… I've known about your kind for over twenty years. It was all by accident- I crashed down near here and she was the one who helped me… I stayed here learning about your history, your ways… and I fell in love with her. I offered her everything, anything she wanted… but your good for nothing father stole her heart from me! I vowed that I would return and kill them both. So I did return, but this time with the police forces. We slaughtered the whole lot… except you… my little Sora."
"Why?" She cried out.
"See I knew you could talk- you always were a smart girl, smart, but stubborn… like her. Oh come now- no tears- you're going to open the gates for me… then I'll be the most powerful man in all the galaxies! And with you by my side, I'll have everything I've ever desired." He grinned evilly.
"NO! I won't open it!"
"You won't? Oh but you will, if you want to see your friends alive… You've changed since we last saw each other. You've opened up to a human. I never expected that… call it an added bonus for me." The man pulled her off the bed. Untying her feet, he forced her to walk on weak legs.
-
Before Tai could fully break out of his arm binds scores of men with lasers pulled the group to their feet.
"You guys will get front row seats to the show of the century." One guard said.
The group was led through the rubble filled streets to a rather large building.
Some how it looked as if it had never been touched by the destruction the rest of the village faced.
It had a religious air to it. Markings on the wall told of a great sacred power that was kept within.
The group was stopped at the bottom of a large set of stairs. At the top was the entrance to the shrine.
Suddenly Tai felt Sora's presence near. She was scared and afraid; he could tell by their connection she was in danger.
Then he saw her- she looked like the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and would ever see in life. Her face streamed with tears, however as she was led up the stairs by knife point.
"SORA! NO! Don't do it!" Tai screamed out to her. He tried to move forward, but was met with a punch to the stomach. "SORA!" he moaned as he fell to the ground.
"Taichi…" She whispered. She couldn't move. Gallawano had a secure grip on her arm. Even if he was just using her, Sora loved Tai. He had been the first human to show her what true love was.
"Now open the gate or your friends here will die…" Gallawano said as he threw her over to the doors.
"But… I didn't know how to…" She trembled.
"Of course you do! You just need something to jog your memory." Gallawano smirked and snapped his fingers.
Instantly a man shot a laser into Tai's shoulder. He cried out in pain.
"No!" Sora cried. "Please… stop it. Don't hurt Taichi…"
"Then OPEN IT NOW!" He commanded slapping her.
Tears were streaming faster down her cheeks as she knelt in a circle that was directly in front of the gate. Sora did the only thing she could do- pray. She prayed that she would remember- that the doors would open so her friends would be safe…
Tai took his eyes off his bloody shoulder as Sora began to radiate a gentle light around her.
'Sora- no don't open it.' He pleaded through his mind to her.
'It's alright Taichi… I can save you and your friends…' Was the last thing she said to him.
It all happened so fast. The light grew and the doors began to creak open. A violent light shot out and hit Sora square on. It seemed to mix with her aura and intensify it.
Everyone went blind for a time. Tai saw his chance as Gallawano and his men were disoriented. He ripped free of his bonds and ran straight for Gallawano and Sora.
As he reached the top a bright light consumed the three in an instant.
Tai woke up with a splitting headache. Sitting up he saw Sora and Gallawano laying motionless on the cold ground. Everything was a dark void. But small lights flew in the sky, so he could see where he was going. He sprinted to Sora's side.
"Sora…Sora?" He called to her while trying to wake her up. She didn't move. Tai noticed she wasn't breathing and had no pulse… it hit him like a ton of bricks… she was dead.
