P.S: I'm not on the turn…
"Why me?" Joe sighed. He had gone through several bin bags and was running out of them. Not only that but he was still no where near the end of his rummage. This could take all night. He gave another irritable sigh. He looked down. "No! Not To Kill a Mocking Bird!" He whimpered. He loved that film. The accents were strange and it was black and white but still it was such a good movie. He sighed as he threw the crashed cassette into the bin bag miserably.
There was a loud knock at the door. Joe glanced over quickly. "Who is it?" his voice was slightly strangled but he cleared his voice and repeated "Who is it?"
"Oh it's just me Kaia…"
Ah the next door neighbour. Joe grinned. Ever since the "accident" she had been knocking and trying to get in. It was pretty lonely. Maybe he should give her the benefit of the doubt. He stood up slowly and opened the door. There stood Kaia. The most beautiful girl Joe had laid eyes on. And she was his next door neighbour…
She had the most amazing brown hair. It was so short and layered, it was always sticking out to the sides but it made her face even more defined. She had such pale skin. Almost like snow, but so much more smoother and flawless. Her eyes were almond coloured and they stood out so much compared to her skin colour, that was what made her even more beautiful. In Joe's opinion…
"Hey, are you sure you're ok?" She asked carefully. And looked at the plaster that was patched all over Joe's clothes from the rubble. "What happened?" She asked even more concerned.
"Um, my… um, dry wall caved in…" Joe lied between gritted teeth. She cocked her head gently and glared him. Her eyes filled with concern and worry. Joe felt awful for lying…
"Well if you need anything just give me a bell. Ok?" She smiled. He blushed. "Hey, why don't we get your mind off this. Whatever happened." She grinned. "How about we go to the movies for a couple of hours? It's on me."
"Um… Is anywhere open?" Joe was thinking on his feet. Face to face with her it was harder to lie. When she was behind a door it was so much easier to say everything was ok when it wasn't. Or that he was feeling great even though he felt as though he world had finally crashed down on him…
"The movies won't be… But the Revival house will be!" She looked at her watch. "I mean it's a marathon. I'm sure they won't mind us coming in a couple of hours late…"
"Sure." Joe fumbled in his pocket for his keys to lock the door.
"Great!" Kaia's face light up with appreciation. She finally had company and even better they were going out.
"What's on?" Joe asked as he pushed the door gently to ensure that the door was locked properly.
"I think it's To Kill A Mocking Bird…" Kaia furrowed her brow in confusion. And walked a couple of metres ahead.
Joe looked at the ceiling above him and mouthed happily, "Thank You!" and kissed the air. The ran to catch up with Kaia.
Tai looked at his surroundings. He thought he heard something. He had witnessed the sunset but had lost track of time… But that wasn't what bothered him. He heard voices. The wings were alert. Ready to fly as soon as danger approached. He heard voices whispering in his ears. Slowly he stood up. His head spinning. He got up too quick…
He wavered until he caught his balance. He looked around quickly. Nothing…
Voices, voices were swimming around him. But nothing was there. Not a thing, nothing living anyway. Again he looked around. More concerned about his predicament.
"You can't resist… They'll over power you…" a voice sang venomously in his head.
"Who are you?" Tai shouted to no one in particular.
"You can't resist…" the voice whispered again.
"Tell me!" Tai screamed. He wasn't going to let voices beat him down. He was better than them!
"They will over power you!" A voice screeched. Tai cursed as his head began to burn.
"Who?" he whimpered.
"You can't resist!" The voices were louder, more accusing, more angry. "They will over power you!" Tai cried out in pain. They voices were consuming his brain. They were rippling in to his skin. He buckled to the floor. The wings now low and still.
"You can't resist!" the voice screamed again. Tai squeezed his eyes shut. This was worse than this morning. Not pain wise, more agony. Why him? He as innocent!
"They will over power you…" The voice laughed. Tai opened his eyes slowly. The pain faltering. He saw white smoke in front of him.
He took in a deep breath hoping for the pain subside. But the white smoke filtered his lungs. He felt like he was choking for a second but it died within a couple of seconds. He had the gagging feeling in his throat. He wanted to be sick. But there was nothing to regurgitate. He hadn't had much to eat today. In the morning he was in a rush and then he hadn't had anything to eat since dinner.
Meekly he looked at his surroundings again. Nothing. The smoke had either dispersed or he had breathed it in. Maybe it was passive smokers…
Tai took in a clean gulp of air. The salt tickling his throat. The wings quivered gently. They wanted to fly…
Where? Tai wondered.
They gave a quick flap and Tai was flying again.
Kari looked at her surroundings. Snow, just… snow. Kari gave a shiver of disapproval. Her pocket began to shine brightly. She rummaged for a second and found Gatomon's tail ring. Glowing.
"Didn't Gennai say it was a tracker too?" Angewomon smiled.
"I guess he did." Kari laughed. Angewomon shone brightly and turned backed into Gatomon. As she gained her colour again she slumped to the floor. Kari sighed gently "You rest, I'll go ahead."
"But what if there's danger?" Gatomon protested her voice a little weak. She wasn't used to flying to so many locations all together.
"I'll give a holler. Until then I want you I want you to rest." Kari stroked Gatomon's head affectionately. Kari was the only person in the universe Gatomon would allow to do that. She was protective of her fur and didn't like people, or digimon alike, messing it up. But Kari was always so gentle and she always considered Gatomon's new hair styles or techniques in flattening or even spiking up. Agumon always teased her saying she spent way to much time on her appearance. But Gatomon ignored him. She thought it looked nice.
Kari walked away slowly. Turning slightly as she was just about to turn a corner.
"Gatomon." She said quietly.
"Yeah?" Gatomon was scared she was about to say she was going to die or something so she feared for the worst.
"I love what you've done with your hair." Kari grinned and walked away. Gatomon glanced at her again and chuckled to herself. Then started to preen herself a bit more. Kari may be considerate but sometimes she made a right mess.
Kari turned the corner, a humungous light shone into her face. Ahead was a stand or pedestal. Gatomon's ring shone even brighter.
Ever colour you could imagine shone from this pedestal. Kari was enticed. She stepped forward slowly. Not because she wanted to, it was more mechanical. A movement he body needed to do, not wanted to do. Whatever she approached the light.
There was a box on top of the pedestal, it shone a bright white, whiter than anything, even Persil or Daz (you can't buy this in the shops people). But as Kari got even closer her chest began to glow as well. Pink light shot out towards the box. And it was welcomed. The box began to dim. Kari ran towards the pedestal.
Tai saw Mount Fujimoto in the distance. Why was he going there? The wings were in complete control of his actions now. He was flying at top speed towards the mountain. The closer he got the less he felt like himself. Something was creeping into his brain.
Prosperine grinned happily. It was working. The box's other ability was even more powerful than she expected. It was attracted by free will and the keeper of Courage was the only one with the slightest amount left. Now it would kill the girl who may ruin everything. It was perfect. Prosperine clapped her hands gleefully. Drama drama drama. It's all good.
