Checkmate

By Lily Evans and Matt Lee

Chapter 3

TK hadn't been killed, he showed up at school the next day, his arm barely visible behind a bunch of bandages. So far, no one could get a word out of TK. He kept insisting, in a high pitched voice that he fell off his bike. Sora wouldn't have it, she was now totally convinced that if Izzy hadn't made her go, TK would've been dead this very moment. Izzy was more concerned about what would've happened to her if she hadn't obeyed Matt and stayed downstairs.

Matt had been acting very jumpy around TK nowadays. Everyone thought it had to do with the fact that TK now knew that he was liable to kill him at any moment. TK was avoiding Matt completely. Sora wasn't speaking to him either.

After school, three days after Sora thought Matt killed TK, Jun was walking home, she didn't know that Matt was the one everyone was accusing. She still wasn't over the fact that her brother was dead. She didn't even realize when a familiar face joined her in walking. She kept running the clues over in her head. It didn't even make sense to Izzy, why would it make sense to her?

She only noticed the person when the person cleared their throat loudly. She jumped and then smiled. They began a conversation. She was so wrapped up in talking to this person, she didn't notice when the person took a knife out. When she did notice, it was too late because it was buried deep in her chest. She choked, sputtered, and fell to the ground, dead.

TK was the one who found Jun. Now everyone was pretty scared, most of them thought what Izzy predicted earlier was true. They thought Matt was killing off people who still had a good relationship with their siblings. Sora was really scared, Jun wasn't even a Digidestined, she pointed out one day, what is going to happen to all the rest of the people they knew.

"Who could he kill next?" Ken asked one day. "No one else has siblings."

"Yolie has two sisters and a brother," Izzy reminded him. "My question is, what is he going to do when he kills all the people he's planning to…"

"Kill more people or turn himself in are my theories," Ken sighed.

"I think we should protect Yolie, I think she's the next victim," Izzy told Ken, after a moment's silence. Ken just nodded.

Izzy and Ken had been guarding Yolie all day until she finally told them she was fine and shut her door in their faces, looking very disgruntled. Izzy finally called Matt. After being told by his dad repeatedly that Matt had left over three hours ago, he hung up, worried.

"You don't think…" Izzy started, he then gasped and headed off, running at full speed, back toward the school.

When Izzy finally reached the school he didn't stop running till he had made it to the computer lab, with Ken running flat out to keep up with him, yelling repeatedly he should tell him what he was running about. They finally reached the computer lab and both collapsed to their knees, Joe was dead on the floor, a pool of blood forming around him.

To Be Continued…

I know that was short but… yeah. Inspiration ran out and I'm being kicked off the comp, next chapter should be out really, really soon.
