Chapter 3:: Introduction to an introduction
3
Hey, it's me again. As you all know, something very disappointing just happened earlier, which makes me so.. so confused. Yes. Sakura, Matt's so called childhood friend was glowing red. Just like the object I wrote for Tai.
Why the hell is this happening? Is what I'm writing really true? Or..is this world a fantasy? I…I can't place anything in the right direction. Am I dreaming? Am I imaging things? Or are my eyes blurry?
Matt.. Matt.. don't worry, I hope I can help you. So that everything will be okay.
wooosh…
Mimi bent down to me, "Yo Sora, why are your eyes red?" she whispered.
I shook my head in disbelief. "P..Pardon? Red? My eyes are always red." I replied.
Mimi laughed. "No ninny! I meant, glowing red. Your eyes aren't red red..they're crimson.."
"Glowing? No! Look, Sakura is glowing." I pointed at the girl.
"Sora, you need to get your eyes checked. Come with me."
With that, Mimi Tachikawa pulled me to the infirmary, without giving me a chance to explain.
What does she think, that I'm crazy? Yeah right, get out. I'm not crazy. I really saw Sakura with a bright red aura. Like the thing that appeared before Matt, when I wrote the story.
Why did I even write that? A story that even may cause more danger to Matt. But I couldn't help it. My hands were out of control. As if I was writing with all my hatred and anger onto the story for Matt. But why? I may end up losing someone's life. Maybe even his. No. Mom and Dad have gone through so much pain, just to save the town a long time ago. I will not let that happen. I will die, if that's what it takes to make Matt the old one.
lalala…
After school, I went to meet Tai at the school's rooftop, since I wanted him to know what I saw ealier.
"Hey Tai, Sakura.. what kind of relationship does she and Matt have?" I asked curiously, desperate to get an answer.
"Sakura Minami.. Matt's childhood friend, who he treated as a sister. She was sent by her father to Europe for a couple of years to spend her elementary years there.. Matt was really only after that. He couldn't play with no one, even in school. I always watched him by the Shiawase bridge. He was always crying about losing Sakura. He never trusted anyone after that incident." Tai explained further, as he sat down. "About a month later on, his family was killed by an unknown man who had just escaped from prison. He was spared though. I saw him. The man who killed Matt's family. And so, my parents decided to take care of him, till he was old enough to go on his own. And that was two years ago."
Matt really did have a painful childhood. No wonder he wanted to have as many friends. No wonder he didn't want to be alone.
"Tai..can you tell me more about Matt's past?" I said.
"Sora, there are many things you have to find out on your own. I can't tell you anything further, I'm trying to forget all those bad memories." Tai said, looking down.
Everything went silent, the wind danced around us, bringing a few water droplets from the sky.
"Tai, before we leave, can I ask you one last thing?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Sakura.. why is she glowing?"
Thunder clashed from the sky, as the clouds burst into tears, creating rain.
Tai stood up. Probably he didn't want to tell. "I have no knowledge about that."
Then he left.
rainbow..
When I got home, Kumo welcomed me by the fire, holding two cups of hot cocoa. "Welcome home Sora."
I realized he was serious. His eyes were sending me a message. I took the other cup of hot chocolate and hung my bag on the rack and sat down on the couch.
"Is anything wrong Kumo?" I asked looking worried.
Kumo sat down adjacent me, and took a sip. His eyes were tired. I knew. Yet, there was sincerity and love left beneath those tiredness. "I need to tell you something Sora." He placed the cup on the table. "Something about you being able to write stories that become reality."
That shocked me. Kumo never wanted to talk about these things. Especially when I brought the topic up.
Ever since I was a child, even though when my parents were still alive, I always observed him, hiding somewhere, watching over me. I wanted to know the reason for all that.
A/n: BTW, this is a fantasy story. Digimon plot facts may change. This story, just to inform you is something which is out of the Digimon plot. (Get it? )
"Your parents were not killed because of you writing your stories. It's true that they knew you had that skill of writing. They knew you wrote those stories. But, they weren't the culprits of the ruckus around the village many years back." He paused.
"Kumo, why..why do you know all this? Who were the real bad guys?"
I started to ask, question after question.
"Sora, please let me finish. My time might expire." Kumo said. He took a deep breath. "Aside from our world, Earth, Gaia, whatever you wish to call it, there is always an alternative world. That alternative world contains everything here in the real world. It is in the same dimension, and everything is the same, except for fate. There is a certain person in that world that killed your parents. That's all I can tell you for now. You have to find things out on your own."
I was numb after hearing all this. I lived a miserable, NORMAL life.. Now, I know that all of us don't really have a normal life. I wish I was someone else. I would like to experience good things to happen. I would like to know how normal teenagers live by their lives. I couldn't even believe all this.
"You might not believe this. But I hope you follow your heart. My time has expired." Kumo said, the fire from the fire place started to burn harder, it appeared as the flames were going towards Kumo. "What is it that you search for in this world? What is it that you seek?"
I shook my head in panic. What I search for? What I seek? "I want to know the truth.."
The flames caught up to Kumo. "Why do you seek for the truth, when this world only consists of lies?"
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before me, and I couldn't see nothing. I was alone again.
And what did Kumo mean by 'this wolrd only consists of lies'? I wasn't done with my questions. What did he mean by 'his time was to expire'?
Questions popped up after another. Nobody could answer that.
How am I going to the alternative world? How do I change fate? How will I know everything? Why do I seek the truth? Why do I have this ability?
.. all shall be revealed in due time..
end of chapter!
A/n: Sorry for the boredom I caused you. I was really sucked into this story since I got lots of ideas.. I don't really know if this chapter made sense.. sigh
