The Mystery Of The Amulet

By: Kara & Aerisakura

Aerisakura: Sorry for taking so long to post this chapter, there were many reasons why my sister and I couldn't finish this story; it will be too long to explain why in almost a year we didn't post this final chapter so let's just go on with the story.

Disclaimer: We don't own Digimon.

Chapter 4

Henry got near the skeleton and took the amulet from it, without saying anything else he hung the amulet around his neck while the skeleton became dust and then the temperature started to decrease, it was very cold and we could see our own breath coming out from our mouths. Suddenly a strong wind blew and slammed the door open, a lightning lighted the small cabin and we saw a man standing at the door…it was the same man that we saw when we were inside the laborer's house, and as fast as the lightning was gone so was the man.

"He is gone" Takato said and then went out running after him.

"Takato wait!" I said running after him.

We went running looking for the mysterious man but we couldn't find him, the hard rain fell upon us soaking us and the rain only fell harder as time passed.

"Where's Henry!?" Takato said or rather yelled it was difficult to hear anything with the falling rain.

"I don't know! You're the one who went out running like crazy." I said and then I sighed trying to calm my nerves, I was very nervous but I wasn't about to let Takato know that, so I then said "Maybe he stayed in the cabin"

"Let's go back then" Takato said and started to walk back towards the cabin, I soon followed him.

We went inside the cabin and we saw Henry seated where the skeleton used to be, he still had the amulet hanging around his neck, it was dark and we couldn't see very well and Henry didn't reacted at our entrance so we got close to him….he was very pale and his eyes were very wide open….the expression on his face was one of pure horror…..I will never forget that look on his face….Takato came back from the shock first and he tried to move him, as if Henry was only sleep and he tried to wake him.

"Come on Henry! Get up! We have to get out of here!" Takato said still moving Henry….but Henry didn't reacted…..Takato's voice broke as he continued to call for Henry trying to wake him….it was very difficult but I had to hold back my own pain, the temperature was starting to decrease again, I had to do something.

"There's nothing we can do Takato, Henry is dead, it will be better to leave before something else happens" my voice sounded cold but I couldn't let my emotions take over as Takato has. I couldn't risk losing another friend…or losing my own life.

I took Takato's hand and drag him out of there, it was something difficult since he wouldn't stop calling Henry and he resisted to come with me.

"….Please Takato, let's go" I told him, he turned to look at me at the eyes and I saw that tears were starting to form in his eyes but he finally nodded and follow me and we both ran away from that place.

We ran in the middle of the storm and I don't know how long we were running, I don't know how much time we ran but we were at last on the highway, we were finally safe…

We never talked about what happened again, neither between us nor with anyone else. When our vacation time was over, we went back to school, it wasn't the same and it never will. It will be very hard but we have to move on with out lives, until one day I learned that nothing of this was over. I didn't pay attention to it; I thought Takato was still scared about what happened…how I regret that now.

One day, I was doing my homework when my grandmother walked inside my room, she was crying, she seemed grief-stricken.

"I have to tell you very terrible news Rika" she told me, her face only showed an immense sadness.

"Rika…they found Takato in the park.....he had an expression of pure horror on his face…." She said with a broken voice between sobs and I could feel my eyes starting to fill with tears.

"The paramedics tried hard….but they didn't couldn't do it……I'm very sorry sweetie" she finished not daring to say more…I don't know if I would had been able to stand hearing it.

It was a very terrible notice, I can't even start describing what I felt, this time I just let the tears fall…I had lost a great friend….again....Takato was the first friend I had…I…..he…my dearest friend…is gone…

The next day I went to see Takato's parents to offer them my condolences, it was very difficult to be there….on his house…..talking with his parents…his parents, it was devastating for them…they had lost their only soon.

I talked with them, their voices held such pain…I was about to go when Mr. Matsuki stopped me, saying he wanted to ask me something.

"Rika there is something we still don't get" Mr. Matsuki said taking out something out from his pocket.

"When they….found Takato…he had this around his neck" Mr. Matsuki said showing me the object Takato had around his neck…

I couldn't believe it, my heart filling with fear; it was the same amulet that we had found in that old cemetery…..the same amulet that was around Henry's lifeless body in that cabin….I ran towards my house, I couldn't say anything to the Matsukis. I was tormented with everything that was happening.

After a while I slowed down, I started to feel chills, it was suddenly very cold and I had the feeling that someone was watching me, I stopped for a moment, I looked around me….he was there, the man from the cabin, the one we saw just before Henry died…I let my fear take over and I started running again, as fast as I could, I couldn't believe it, I had to ran away, from the three, I was the only one that remained alive.

I finally arrived to my house and I quickly got inside, I was safe for the moment….Since that day, every time I try to go out of my house, I see him…standing there, not to far away from the door…waiting for me…
