Disclaimer-If I owned digimon…do you think Matt and Sora would get married?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The sound was a door opening. Followed by a few footsteps and a man yelling for Sora. The voice sounded a different. It was groggy and a little nicer, but it was definitely loud and still kind of mean. 'Oh, great he's back' Sora thought. She quickly put on sweatpants and a long-sleeved shirt under a baggy sweater. She raced downstairs, but stopped midway. She stared at the two figures before her. They both had on a trench coat and a hat. One was shorter than the other and they were dripping wet.
"Um, hey mom, dad you want me to get you a towel?" Sora asked them. She was a bit nervous because they looked like those mysterious people in old murder movies.
"We're not your parents," the man said. He lifted his chin up so she could see his face.
"GRANDPA? GRANDMA?" Sora shrieked. "This is so great! I missed you guys so much! Oh my, and its raining. I had no clue that is raining."
"Dear, you look like a complete mess," her grandma said. "And, what's that on your face? Is that a…bruise?"
Sora put her hand on her face. She could feel the scars and bruises. "Oh, I just fell of my bike when I was going down a big hill. Lot's of tumbling." She giggled nervously.
Her grandparents exchanged worried looks. Her grandpa asked where her parents were, and she replied with 'I don't know." She went upstairs to freshen up a little bit. She washed her face and put some treatment on it. She covered it lightly with make-up so it looked like it was fading, but not gone. She kept her sloppy clothes on, but tied up her hair. When she went back down, her grandma was cooking. It smelled so good.
"How's school?" her grandpa asked.
"It's okay I guess," she answered.
"Any boyfriends?" (A/n god, my grandpa does that to me! Annoying!)
"Uh…no," she sighed sadly. Suddenly the door swung open and in came a drenched man.
"Oh my! Ken, you're all wet!" her grandma said to him.
"Mom?" he asked surprised. "It's great to see you again. Ann Marie will be home pretty soon." He went to hug is mom.
"You better go change! Your mother is almost done cooking," Grandpa said. Ken, of course went to go change. But, he didn't come down in time to eat with them.
They sat around the TV set, eating, and watching the news. Sora was just picking at her food dozing off, then, suddenly something caught her attention. "Live from Burington, there is an unidentified women found fatally wounded." The news lady said. "So far the police cannot trace the killer, and they can't find out who she is." Sora stared at the TV hoping for more information. "She was stabbed five times in the abdomen, police are hoping someone can identify her." They showed her on the TV all wounded and bloody.
"That's my MOM!" Sora cried turning around just in time to see her father half way down the stairs. She glared at him and he gave a confused look. "Please if you have any information call us toll free at 1-88-888-8 or you can contact or go to Burington Health Center, I'm Cindy Cooper live from Burington…" the TV continued.
"We have to go to the hospital!" Grandma yelled. "Where is it?"
"It's about an hour away," Sora told them getting up. "Let's go."
Her grandma and grandpa ran to the car, but Sora walked slowly out her father right behind her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Listen Sora," he started, "it wasn't me! I swear to GOD! I just left her at this one place, I know I shouldn't have, but I was mad!"
"Dad, I don't care what your excuse is! Right now I want to see my mom!" She yelled running out to the car.
It took awhile to find the place, since no one was familiar with it. When they got there they immediately told a nurse the whole story and she led the information center to get her room number.
"She's in intensive care right now…" the information clerk told them, "just go to room 55ab and a nurse may let you in"
Sora quickly went to the intensive care section searching for her mother's room. When she got into the section, she slowed down a bit taking her time. She was staring at the all white walls. The smell was unpleasant and it was depressing. Sora tucked her wet hair, looking behind her. 'Hmm…I must've walked to fast for them' she thought.
"Excuse me miss," someone asked tapping her shoulder, "I don't think you should be in here."
"Oh, well, my mom is in here. The uh…unidentified lady." Sora told her.
"Oh, yes they told me about you. Her room is straight down there," she told Sora pointing sown a hallway. "There's a doctor in there, also so maybe he can tell you about her condition. Are you here…"
"No," Sora interrupted her, "my grandparents and…father…"
"Okay, just go down the hallway, and if you need anything, I'm here for you."
'I'm here for you'. No one has ever said that to her, and it sounded nice. She thought about that last phrase until she got to her mom's room. There was a doctor and a nurse in there. They seemed to be in deep conversation. The nurse noticed Sora.
"Hello!" she greeted her. "May we help you?"
"Yes, this is my mother," Sora told them pointing to her mom, "Ann Marie…"
"Oh, I am so glad someone identified her. Sometimes people can go days without us knowing…"
"Aren't we here to discuss my mother's health?" Sora snapped.
"Yes, sorry." The nurse apologized. The doctor led her out to the hallway. He told her that not only was she stabbed, she was beat up. She was hit 5 times on the head with a hard object. Sora looked down and started sobbing, when her grandparents and dad showed up.
"We're with her," her dad told the doctor. He immediately told them what he had just told Sora.
"Will she survive?" Grandma asked.
"She has a good chance, but she is a coma right now. And she may have slight amnesia when she wakes…" The doctor said.
Sora just zoned him out while he talked. She stared at her mother's practically lifeless body. She knew who did it. It was him. She never hated her father more than at that very moment.
"Sora, sweetie, we'll go to the waiting room right now, okay?" Grandma said sweetly.
"Okay." She said walking towards the waiting room. When they got there, Sora just sat down on the chair and fell into deep concentration. 'Should I tell them he did it? What if he WAS telling the truth…? No…he never does, but maybe now it's different.' She thought about all this while watching her family making phone calls to different people. They waited for an hour before a nurse told them 1 person could go see her.
"I'll go," Sora jumped up and walked towards her mother room. As she walked down the depressing hallway, she silently prayed for everything to be okay. When she got in there, she walked carefully over the cords and over to a lounge chair nearby.
"Mommy," she whispered, "please be okay…please." She sat in there for about 10 minutes when a doctor came in.
"Oh, hello," he greeted, "just checking up on her. My name is Dr. Kaci"
"Sora," she muttered.
"Oh, Sora, is that a bruise on your face?" he asked her. 'Crap…my make-up must have washed off in the rain" she though.
"Yeah, fell of my bike,"
"No, falling off a bike wouldn't leave that. Looks like someone punched you. You should get it looked at and medicated."
"No I'm fine, really."
"No, that thing is massive!" he just wouldn't give up.
"DR. KACI, PLEASE! I said I am fine! Now just let me be!" she yelled loud enough for the people way down the hall to hear.
It must have been some yell because her mother started stirring in her sleep. She slightly opened her eyes, more like squinting.
"M…. mom? Are you awake?"
Whee! I finally finished this chapter. I wanted more people to review before I got this up. So, you know what motivates me! How was it? BAD? I think it was. I wrote half of it like 2 months ago. HAH!
