Chapter 6- Why?
----------
One of the figures of the circle stepped forward into the light. As he came into the light, Sora grabbed hold of Tai even more, and Tai, feeling her fear, held onto her more tightly (if this is possible!). Then, the man's face came into the light. Tai gasped when he saw who it was. He couldn't believe it!
"You!"
"That's right Tai, it's me. And now it's time for my revenge!"
Tai stood there in shock. He man who had kidnapped Sora, the man who had made Tai to do all those 'tasks', the man who had caused him so much pain was none other than………
…Matt
"Matt?" said Tai, "you did all of this? But why?"
Matt didn't answer him. He continued to walk forward, past Sora and Tai. He stopped when he was in the middle of the circle of men.
"Gentlemen," he said to the men that formed the circle, "I thank you for your assistance in my plan. I only need a few of you to guard the exists. The rest of you are free to go. And remember, do not tell the police about this, or it will be the last thing you ever do."
The men bowed to Matt, then left the large warehouse. Tai watched them all as they left, making sure that none of them came near him and Sora. As the last man stepped outside, he saw a few men stood by the doors outside. He and Sora were trapped.
"What's this all about Matt?" Tai asked.
Matt didn't reply. Instead, he reached into his pocket, and pulled out what Tai thought looked like a bit of paper. He gazed at it for a few moments, then turned around to face Tai and Sora. Sora's grip tightened on Tai. Matt looked at them, as if studying them, then he looked back down to the piece of paper.
"You know, you two look very close at the moment," said Matt, still looking at the paper, "just as close as you do in this picture. Hard to believe that you two were just best friends."
"What are you talking about Matt?" asked Sora
"This," said Matt, turning the piece of paper so that Tai and Sora could see what was on it.
It was a photo, with two people in the centre of it. The two people were Tai and Sora, and it was taken on the night of the digidestined dinner and reunion. It was raining in the picture, and Tai was kissing Sora.
"How did you get that?" demanded Tai
"I know how he got it Tai," said Sora when Matt didn't answer, "when you…I mean…when it happened, I noticed that there was a flash. I thought it was just lightning, but I can see now that it was a camera."
"Very clever Sora," said Matt sarcastically, "You're right, I did take that picture. And when I saw you two together, I knew it was time to put my plan into action. I knew it was time to get my revenge."
"What are you talking about Matt," asked Tai again, "Why do you want revenge on us?"
"Because you ruined my life!" shouted Matt
"How could we ruin your life? You're the one who almost ruined mine!" shouted Sora
"Yeah, and I wish I had now!" said Matt bitterly
He turned around and started to pace the room. His hand was in his coat pocket, feeling a large object. Tai didn't know what was going to happen next, but he knew that it wasn't good. He had a feeling that things were about to get worse. He put his head down lower, so that he could whisper into Sora's ear.
"Sora, what ever happens, stay close to me unless I say so, OK?" he whispered
"OK Tai, what ever you say," Sora whispered back
Matt stopped pacing; his back to Tai and Sora. He took the object out of his pocket. As he did so, Tai caught a hit of metal, and what looked like a trigger. Matt started to fiddle with the object. Tai and Sora heard a loud click, then silence. Slowly Matt turned around to face them, the object in his hand aimed at Tai and Sora. Sora gasped when she saw it, and Tai's heart skipped a beat. It was a gun. Matt smirked at their reactions.
"Before I kill you both," he said mockingly, "have you any last requests?"
"Yeah I have one," said Tai, "I've been asking you the same question ever since I got here. Why do you want revenge on us? How could we ruin your life?"
"Well, since you're about to die I might as well tell you," answered Matt, "Ever since I first laid my eyes on Sora, I knew that she was the one for me. I had to have her, and I would do anything to get her-"
"And don't I know it," Sora muttered
"-But there was a problem," said Matt ignoring Sora, "she was too close to you Tai. You two were inseparable, always together no matter what. I thought that you two would end up dating when we left the digital world for the first time, but you didn't. I waited and waited for you to ask her out Tai, but you never did. So, I took my chance. Before my concert at Christmas, I asked her to meet me, then I asked her out. She was a little taken back, but she said yes-"
"I wish I'd said no now," said Sora bitterly
"But you didn't Sora," said Matt, "You said yes, and we started dating. Those few years when we went out together were the happiest years I've ever lived, but it didn't last forever. Even though you were going out with me Sora, you still spent a lot of time with Tai. In fact, at one point, you spent more time with Tai than you did with me. I became jealous. I wanted you all to myself. No one else was allowed to have you. So, one night, on our 3 year anniversary, I asked you to marry me. You were shocked by this gesture, and you quickly declined the offer, saying that you didn't love me, and that you loved someone else!"
"I did love someone else Matt," said Sora, "And I still do now!"
"Well, you're 'true love' is the cause of all this," said Matt angrily, "I left you're apartment that night, heart broken. Do you know what it feels like to be rejected by the only person you've ever loved?"
"Yes we do Matt!" shouted Tai, "but that's not a good enough reason why you did all this!"
"Oh, but there's more Tai. I walked around the city, letting my depression consume me. After a while I went back to your apartment but I didn't go in. I knew that Tai was there. You always call Tai when something bad happens. I waited in the shadows, waiting for him to leave. Eventually he did. After I'd seen him walk away, I used my set of keys to get into your apartment. I had to have you Sora! I loved you, and my love caused me to do what I had to do. I had to touch you one more time!"
"Matt, you didn't just touch me," shouted Sora, "you tried to rape me!"
"Yeah, and I wish I'd succeeded," said Matt, his hand shaking, "but I didn't, thanks to you Tai. You somehow knew Sora was on trouble, and came 'to rescue her'."
"It was a good thing I did," said Tai, "you were insane that night Matt, and you are now!"
"Well that's what prison does to you Tai! After my trial I was sent to prison for a while. I came out the day you left for England. But whilst I was in prison, I made a few 'friends'. I told them of my two big problems, so they said they'd help me. So, for five years, my crazed love for Sora and my desire for revenge grew, as did my plans. And thanks to all those men whom you saw, my plan is now almost complete. When I came to that digidestined dinner, everyone thought that I was back to normal. But they didn't know that it was all an act. Even you two were fooled!"
Tai didn't say anything. Instead, he slowly moved backwards, Sora walking with him. Matt didn't take any notice. He just continued talking.
"I'm glad you followed that gentleman Tai, otherwise you'd never had found the one you love."
"You mean, you set me up?" asked Tai still moving backwards, "You made sure that I'd follow that man?"
"Tai, you're dumber than you look. Of course I did. I had to think of someway to get you here. But that's enough talking. It's time for you two to die!"
Tai and Sora stopped walking. They had reached the wall and couldn't go any further. Matt slowly started to walk towards them, his gun aimed at them.
"It's time to say goodbye, forever!"
BANG!
Matt shot the gun, but he missed. Tai and Sora made a dash for the door, but at the sound of the gunshot, the men from the outside had come into the room. They were blocking the doors. Matt turned around and aimed the gun again.
"Hold still you two."
"Make us!" shouted Sora
Bang!
He fired another shot, but missed again. Sora and Tai ran to where a large pile of boxes were, and hid behind them. Matt just laughed.
"Why don't you just give up? You're not going to win!"
He walked around to the boxes. Tai and Sora couldn't see anything apart from boxes and the wall in front of them, so they didn't know that Matt was walking towards them, his gun in his hand. Tai heard a click. He looked above him and saw Matt aiming the gun at him. He was about to shoot, when he heard a siren, and flashing blue lights appeared outside.
"The police!" yelled one of the men in the room, "we'd better get out of here!"
The remaining men made their way quickly to the door, then ran away from the warehouse. Matt cursed them and shouted at them
"Hey, come back here you bastards!" Matt shouted towards the open door, "we're not done here!"
Tai and Sora took their chance. They jumped up, knocked Matt back, and made a dash for the door. Matt stumbled a bit, but soon regained his standing position.
"Oh no you don't," he said to Tai and Sora, "you're not getting out of here
alive!"
He aimed the gun once again. He only had one bullet left, so he could only
aim at one person. Tai and Sora were almost at the door. They would soon
be free
BANG!
Matt fired his last shot. Tai and Sora fell to the ground, one of them in pain. Matt had shot one of them. He didn't care what happened to him, just as long as one of them died.
Sora got up onto her knees. She saw that there was blood on her. But it wasn't her blood. She looked down at Tai. She screamed. Tai had been shot, and he was covered in blood.
Tai couldn't get up. He had felt the shot, and knew that Matt had gotten what he wanted. He was bleeding badly, and becoming weaker and weaker. He heard Sora talking to him, but he could speak back. His vision was becoming blurry, and everything was going dark.
"Tai, Tai can you hear me? Tai! Please don't leave me!"
Then, everything went silent and dark.

I am so mean (again)! I apologise now for Matt's excuse to get back at Tai and Sora. I found it hard to come up with ideas for this bit! Well, please R&R and you'll find out what happened to Tai in the next chapter!
