Chapter 6
I was sat in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. I got up and walked to the door to let them in, still reminiscing on the night before.
I had held her in my arms allowing her to cry as much as she wanted for quite some time after I'd finished talking to Izzy. I couldn't imagine how confused she would be feeling if my theory on what had happened to her was true.
I remembered her saying she was sorry and lifting her hand to my T-shirt and tracing her fingers over the wet patch she had created. It's ok I murmured back before steering her gently back towards my room. She'd sat down on the edge of my bed and looked up at me with those big amber eyes, which, even when red and puffy from crying, still looked gorgeous.
I'd told her to lay down and get some sleep and that we were going to figure this out in the morning, after she'd got some rest. This time I waited with her until she fell asleep before I returned to the couch and eventually dosed off myself.
At opening the door I found the entire gang stood outside.
"Keep us waiting a bit longer next time Matt?" TK muttered as they pushed their way inside.
"I was thinking."
"About?"
"Sora."
"What about her?"
"Well, for starters how confused she must be right now. I mean if she really is from the past."
"From the past? What do you mean?"
"I mean, after what she told me about her having a fiancée, about her getting married in the derelict old church yesterday."
"She's married? But she only looks about 15."
"She was supposed to be getting married, she said she got carried away before she could and found herself here instead."
"So you believe that she's from the past then?"
"Well." I was interrupted again.
"Based on the information I was able to gather last night I'd say it's a distinct possibility." A tired-looking Izzy informed. "You see, after the digital adventure I kept on monitoring the varying frequencies found in our surrounding area, you know, so we would have a verified conclusion on where to look for a portal if we needed to fight again in a hurry. But there's been nothing, until I got home last night and saw a fluctuation, not unlike the digital portals, but not the same had appeared near the dance. So yes, I would say Matt's theory is entirely plausible."
I smiled smugly at Tai who had questioned the idea before and received a glare back.
"So, as I was saying." I began. "I was thinking about how confused she must feel right now, if she really is from the past, can you imagine how many things must be different for her?"
"She wouldn't have had television."
"Medical aid."
"Football."
"Fast food."
"Camera's."
"Make up."
"Grocery stores."
"Prune juice."
"Computers."
"Music."
"And she would have been forced into marriage for the good of her family at the age of 15. I take it that doesn't happen here now?"
All heads shot towards the new voice.
"Sora, hey." I said quietly, getting up and offering her my stool.
She took it smiling at me gently but looking quite flustered at all the attention being focused on her.
There was a long silence and in that time I was able to register in my mind that she hadn't wanted to get married. 'Forced into marriage', I grinned stupidly at the thought that maybe she could like me and then blanched at what I was thinking. For God's sake Matt you don't even know the girl!
Shaking my head clear of my thoughts I returned to the world in time to hear Mimi asking Sora the question: "Your family was going to make you marry someone you didn't love?"
"It's not unheard of. Once rich families will marry their daughters into wealthier ones to restore their fortune. They don't do it out of cruelty." She continued seeing the shocked look on Mimi, Yolie and Kari's faces. " It's just well, if you don't have money then you don't have anything and you get treated as we once treated the poor of our area. Like scum." She finished looking deeply ashamed.
"Drop it Mimi." I cut in, seeing her about to quiz Sora again.
"Right well I suppose we need to figure out what to do with you then." Tai said smiling gently at Sora and causing me to inch closer to her.
We spent the next hour throwing in suggestions about the situation and by 3:30 we had decided that Sora would stay here with me and Izzy would continue his experiments and warn us when a portal was opening again so she could go home.
"You know what we need to do." Mimi began. "We need to take you shopping for some new clothes, I mean, you don't want to be stuck in Matt's slacks and faded T-shirt forever, now do you." She told Sora.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with my clothes."
"On you Matt, on Sora, well she's got a nice figure we could go on a shopping spree, daddy just gave me a new credit card so it'll be my treat!"
"Oh my gosh, yes! Please Sora, we need an excuse to go shopping again!"
"But you guys only went three days ago!"
"Exactly, and that was for Prom related items, now we need clothes!"
"Oh this will be so good!" The two girls exclaimed, earning reproachful looks from the rest of the group.
"Don't worry about it Sora, they just get a little bit over-excited when it comes to the Mall." Kari smiled.
"Mall?"
"Yeah, it's where you can buy clothes, there's hundred's of designer shops there and they kind of go a bit nuts."
"Hundreds of shops? I only have a couple of dresses."
"A couple?!" Mimi and Yolie shrieked.
"Ok we are SO taking you shopping right now!" They exclaimed, dragging Sora to the door.
"Hey guys. Guys!" I yelled. "Go easy okay, she's never even seen soda cans before."
"We know Matt, but oh Sora! You're going to love this!"
"Want me to come with you?" I whispered.
She smiled and shook her head. "I'll be okay. They're, you know, alright in the head aren't they?"
I laughed and nodded at her comment and relieved expression.
"Here." I said, giving her my cell phone. "If you get scared or lost just press 2 and the call button and you'll be able to talk to me, okay?"
She smiled at me again and I felt my stomach twist a bit as I attempted to smile back.
"Good luck."
She laughed and was dragged through the door by two excited girls and one slightly embarrassed one.
Any good? Hope it was, please review ( Love white lily
Enjoy!
