LOVE'S TRUE STRENGTH
Chapter Five: An Escape Endeavor
Kari tried to sleep, but how could she? Besides the fact that she was scared to death, the blankets were cold and uncomfortable. Shivering, Kari brought her bare legs up to her chest. She had gotten Wormon to make her a short nightgown to wear to bed. She wished she had requested a warmer gown.
The door whooshed open. Kari closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying not to tremble so badly. She heard a light clicking coming toward her, then the blankets pulled lightly as if something had just gotten on the bed. Kari opened her eyes to see two green eyes glowing back at her. Kari gasped in surprise. The eyes stared at her, not blinking. Kari pulled the blanket over her head so she didn't have to look at Getamon's eyes any longer. She began to sob.
A few moments later, Kari glanced over her blankets. The eyes were gone. Either Getamon had left, which Kari would have felt and heard, or Getamon was asleep. Kari as slowly and carefully as she could, lifted the blanket off of herself and slipped out of the bed. The eyes did not reappear. Kari tip-toed over to the door. She felt around for a keypad. She found it. But that was too high for Wormon and Getamon to reach. There had to be something else. Kari knelt down and felt near the bottom of the door. There was another keypad down there, but this one was not a bunch of little buttons, but one big one. Smiling to herself, Kari pushed the button.
The door swished open. Kari peered down the hallways on either side of her door. Both were quite dark. She crawled slowly down the hall she thought was where the Digimon Emperor had taken her from that door. She crawled down this hall for a long time until she was too tired. She took some deep breaths as she sat against a wall. Then she heard that familiar clicking. She gasped, having no where to hide.
"What are you doing way over here?" came a dark voice accompanied by glowing green eyes.
"I was trying to find the bathroom," Kari lied.
"Hmm," the eyes narrowed. "Follow me."
Kari got to her feet and followed the clicking claws. Getamon led her to a door, then she opened it for her. When the door opened, the light automatically went on. It was a small bathroom with a black toilet, black sink and a black shower.
"Be quick," Getamon warned. "I'll be waiting out here for you."
*************
"Master."
The Digimon Emperor awoke suddenly and glanced behind his chair at Getamon.
"What is it?" the Emperor demanded.
"Sire, Kari Kimiya just tried to escape," Getamon told him. "She's back in her room now."
The Digimon Emperor groaned, "I'll have to restrict Digimon access to the keypads. You know what that means, Getamon? No leaving the base."
"Yes, sire," Getamon bowed.
Once Getamon had left, the Digimon Emperor turned back toward his large screen and let out a sigh. The screen showed the tape of Kari laughing.
"Why don't you like me, Kari Kimiya?" he asked. "What else do you want from me?"
