Digimon Time Mystery Part: Two
The two spoke little on their cab drive. The boy who had been warm and inviting was suddenly cold and distant. Sora was begin to think that she had made a grave error. But what harm could it do? This, after all, was just a dream and dreams never hurt anyone. She couldn't help to think that the dream was getting weirder and weirder by the minute… Somehow, Sora just couldn't shake the feeling that this was unlike any dream she had ever had. She was almost entranced by this boy, as if he had put a spell over her. A horrifying thought occurred to Sora: Was this really a dream?
The cab stopped. When they got out, the two were in front of a large apartment building. It didn't look menacing, if anything it was an apartment building much like the one Sora lived in: made of cold cement. Ken didn't look at Sora as he began to move towards the building. Sora hesitated to follow.
"Follow me." Ken mumbled, continuing to walk. Sora's eyes snapped to the back of his head and her legs began to move before she even thought to stop. It seemed to take forever to reach an apartment. Sora stayed behind this strange boy and even refused eye contact when they were in the elevator. What was going to happen when she arrived at his apartment? She could only imagine the terrible things that would be in that dark place. Sora hoped against all hope that this not-so dreamy dream wouldn't turn into her worst nightmare.
Suddenly the elevator they were in halted. Sora hadn't even noticed they were approaching their floor. Ken grabbed her arm instinctively and yanked her out of the elevator. He pulled her down the hall to the last apartment. Before opening the door, he turned to her, grabbing both of her arms tightly. Ken shook Sora slightly and she looked him straight in the eye.
"Don't say anything. Don't touch anything." Ken ordered. Sora began to tremble, but his grip on her only tightened. She nodded her head instinctively; she was in pain! Sora couldn't stop looking into Ken's dark eyes, but she knew she had to leave. As soon as he let go she would run.
Ken released one hand and put his key in the lock, opening the door. White light poured out over the two. To Sora's dismay, Ken didn't let go. When Sora tried to pull away his grip tightened even more and he pulled her into the apartment. Sora was struggling fiercely when a voice came from the light: "Hi honey! How was your game?"
The two stopped in their tracks. Sora had one hand on the hand Ken was using to hold her. He was angry and she was frightened. Sora looked at the voice and it was a woman.
"I'm going to my room" Ken stated. Sora looked from the mother to the son. The mother just stood in the kitchen with her hands folded in front of her smiling at the two of them. Sora was being ignored. From Ken's reply, Sora gathered he treated his mother like that often and so she didn't notice… or even care. Ken dragged Sora to his room.
Again, the light poured through the windows. Sora shielded her eyes with her one free hand. When her eyes adjusted she looked around. It seemed normal enough, no evil signs on the walls. In fact, there was nothing on the walls or the floor. There was a small bed in the corner, a closet, and a desk with a computer. Other than the staple furniture, there was nothing that indicated anyone lived here. Behind Sora the door slammed. A little click indicated a lock.
Sora twirled around. Why hadn't she noticed Ken had let go? She must have gotten used to the pain… it was still there even without his hand. Ken looked at Sora with distaste as he walked over to his desk. He stood and turned his computer on.
"I've had enough of this! I want this dream to end – RIGHT NOW!" Sora had turned to Ken and was standing with her hands on her hips. Ken just glanced at her and smirked.
"Come look at this." Ken beckoned. Sora sneered. He had just ignored her! She groaned but stood her ground.
"Why won't you listen to me?! I want to leave this place, NOW! I am being held against my will in my own dream!" Sora exclaimed quite loudly, half hoping Ken's mother would hear. Ken turned to her sharply, an uncharacteristic sneer on his face. Sora gasped, stepping back. It was happening, her surreal dream was turning into a very real nightmare. She screamed when Ken grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards the computer.
"Hey! What do you think--" Ken pulled out a digivice, effectively cutting Sora off.
"I've been waiting for you. I knew my patience would pay off. The moment I saw you on the field, it felt as if someone had delivered you like a nice little package, Digidestined." The digivice began to glow, the computer seemingly responded with a loud whirring sound and an equally bright screen. With that, Ken dragged Sora into the digital world.
When the lights turned back on, Sora was tied to a giant cement pillar in a large, dark room. Lights began to glow from a corner, coming from what seemed like a control station. There were many monitors, but Sora couldn't make out what was on them because her eyes had yet to adjust to the sudden light. Suddenly a figure arose from in front of the console and walked towards Sora. As he came closer Sora could make out the details, but this was not Ken. Ken was nowhere to be found.
"Where am I?" Sora asked worriedly. Ken may have dragged her into the digital world with a strange, new digivice, but that didn't mean she would just let him disappear on her! The figure snickered. He was wearing a strange uniform with gold shoulders and a dark blue body. Sora became frightened.
"WHERE'S KEN?!" She screamed. Sora figured he may take her away from this place and she could escape from him. But how would she escape the digital world? She didn't have her digivice…
"I'm right here." The strange boy replied, holding his arms out, grinning smugly. Sora shook her head, sweat beading on her forehead. She didn't believe it… but she looked harder and she found parts of him there…
"You're the perfect specimen for my experiment." He stated, turning away from her. He walked back to the console he had emerged from. Now Sora had realized what she had been feeling before: evil. It hadn't been a dream, she was wrong! But how had he managed to trick her? It must have been some new – or old? – power from the digital world. Sora began to struggle, attempting to free herself from the restraints. It was no use, but she tried anyways. Ken began to laugh.
"Once I'm through with you, my dark rings will have you under my complete control!" Ken maniacally announced from the other side of the room. Sora was now panicking. She didn't know how she had gotten here or why this was happening to her.
"Dark rings?" Sora blurted accidentally. She was very disorientated and scared.
Ken snapped his fingers. Sora could hear a door open somewhere in the room, and then a loud swishing sound. From the darkness a large black ring swung toward her. Sora screamed and the dark ring snapped around her neck. The ropes restraining Sora seemed to snap and fall to the ground, disintegrating with a hiss. Sora fell soon after, the dark rink around her neck slightly glowing. It seemed to look to heavy for her light figure.
When Sora stood up, she was under the power of the Digimon Emperor.
To be continued.

AR: This is my very first fanfic, even though I'm posting it right now. I thought it was a sweet fic! I'm currently working on revamping (or rather, completely rewriting) this story. I'm saving the original of course, but going through and filling it out with more descriptions and better lines. I hope it's an improvement!
