"Serving girl!" Gamma shouted as he sat at the head of the table.
"Ye..ye..yes Lord Gamma?" Sora stuttered out. She wore a green dress, like an old school uniform, as Gamma ordered.
Gamma took the wine he was drinking and slowly poured it on the floor. "I don't know what the kitchen staff is trying to poison me with, but they better find a better vintage then this flat slop!" He threw the crystal goblet on the ground and it shattered. "Now clean this mess up!"
Sora quickly bent down and cleaned up the mess. A stray splinter of crystal found its way into one of her fingers. She let out a yelp of pain and pulled it out, a thin trail of blood working its way down her hand. "Oooh, Are you hurt?" Gamma bent down next to her and grabbed her hand. "Do you want me to kiss it better?" Gamma snickered.
"N-no Lord Gamma, I'm fine really!" She quickly bent down and finished cleaning the glass. She felt a hand tightly grip her butt and squeeze hard.
"Now don't be so quick not to accept my help, there are certain benefits when being employed by me." Gamma laughed and pinched her ass.
Sora got up, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "I'll get rid of this immediately, my Lord." She quickly ran off, to get away from Gamma. Everyday was like this. Torment on Gamma's part, cowardice on hers. Gamma enjoyed belittling her, but there was nothing she could do. She threw out the shattered glassware, and returned to her own measly quarters. She locked the doors behind her, and just stood there. Sora knew she shouldn't complain her life was a lot better than that of most people on the face of the Earth. She had food, water, shelter, and protection. While she served Gamma, no one dare harm her. But the degrading remarks, endless complaints, take their toll. She placed her eyes and her hands and began to cry.
"Are you all right Sora?" A voice asked, drawing Sora's attention from her sobbing.
Sora looked up and smiled. "Yes Gabumon, I'm fine." Gabumon was the one source that kept her sane in this world. At first, she was a bit edgy taking a digimon of all things into her confidence, but he had an almost spiritual look in his eyes. Over the last few years, he had become her best, actually only, friend. Perhaps it was because he was in the same position she was. He had no choice but to serve Gamma, although she could never fully understand the reasons why. "It's just, well, Gamma."
Gabumon nodded knowingly, sittign on Sora's chair in her modest sized room. The one word Gamma explained volumes that Gabumon already knew. . "I'm sorry Sora."
Sora sat on her bed across from Gabumon. "Why do you always apologize Gabumon? It's not your fault."
(Yes, it is). Gabumon thought to himself. He was a chosen digimon, and was supposed to help save this world. Something went wrong, drastically wrong. He was responsible, at least in part, to what happened to the world, to Sora. "I'm sorry." He apologized again.
Sora ran a hand over Gabumon's head.. "I told you to stop apologizing."
"I'm sorr.." Gabumon started involuntarily but caught himself. "Err... right."
Sora smiled. Gabumon was the only source compaionship she had in the world. He was a shoulder to cry on, and always had a kind word to lift her spirits. But one thing puzzled Sora to no end, was why Gabumon served Gamma so dilgently. He had no black spiral on him, but he was as loyal to Gamma as any of the other spiral controlled servants. It didn't make any sense to her. She had tried to ask Gabumon why he stayed, but he always responded with. "I have no choice. It's my destiny."
"Destiny..." Sora sighed out loud. (I wish I had a better destiny. Servant to Gamma... My parents dead...) Sora sniffled again.
"Sora?" Gabumon looked up.
"I was just thinking, sorry." Sora tok a breath and regained herself.
"Now don't you start apologising." Gabumon smiled.
Sora smirked, and started to chuckle. "Gabumon, you always know what to say." Sora began to laugh harder.
Gamma's voice suddenly boomed over the intercom. "GABUMON!" Gabumon looked up. "To my chambers immediately."
Gabumon looked down. "I..I..have to go. I'm sorry.."
Sora nodded knowingly. "I know."
Gabumon gave her an understanding smile, and took off. When he arrived at Gamma's chambers he found the doors wide open. Gamma was already there and motioned for him to come in. Etemon was there as well, admiring Gamma's extensive guitar collection. "Mission accomplished boss man." Etemon picked up a guitar and began strumming a melodic tune. "That kid TK took the bait hook, line and symphony. Un-huh"
"Very good Etemon." Gamma looked over to Gabumon. "It's nice to have someone that enjoys their work. Now please, get ready for the next part of my plan."
"You've got it." Etemon finished his song with a rather enthusiastic note. "I'm always up for a little rock and roll mayhem, un-huh."
Etemon was about to replace the guitar when Gamma stopped him. "Feel free to keep it Etemon. I reward those who serve me loyally."
Etemon smiled. "Hey, thanks for the ax. And don't worry, I'll be ready for those squirts." Etemon left the room walking past Gabumon, pushing him roughly out of the way. Etemon strolled down the hall, playing his newly acquired toy.
Gamma finally turned his attention to the small digimon at the doorway. "Gabumon, I'm glad you could join us. I need you to prepare yourself for battle. We are having company coming. Company bent on my downfall I believe. Digivolve now."
"Gamma, please!" Gabumon begged. "I can't believe any human would do such things, it's not too late."
"My dear Gabumon, you've been trying to sway me ever since you first arrived. I would have terminated you for your incisive whining, but you're much too valuable a protector." Gamma walked over to him and bent down so they where face to face. "I know you have no choice to protect Matt." Gamma placed his hand on Gabumon's shoulder. "And as long as Matt is here and in danger, you're mine." Gamma then slapped Gabumon across the face with his free hand. "Now quit defying me and digivolve!"
Gabumon closed his eyes and sighed, rubbing his cheek. "Gabumon digivolve to Gurumon." He cried out half heartily. His form morphed, and an enormous white and blue wolf took his place.
Gamma smiled as he turned towards the monitor. He could see a young child with blond hair and a sailor cap along with an older girl with pink sparkled hair heading towards the mansion. They walked up and opened the door, after looking around cautiously. They quickly disappeared inside his residence. Gamma admired their bravery, if not their intellect. He reached towards the intercom and pressed a button. He spoke into the microphone, "Attention servants of Gamma. It has come to my attention that I have intruders on my grounds. I order all of you to leave the mansion and to perform an extensive search for at least two hours. I will be in the theater with my protector. Do so quickly." Gamma smiled and turned the intercom off. He got up and walked towards the door, motioning for Gurumon to follow. "Come now. We have to prepare for my guests of honor."
"Ye..ye..yes Lord Gamma?" Sora stuttered out. She wore a green dress, like an old school uniform, as Gamma ordered.
Gamma took the wine he was drinking and slowly poured it on the floor. "I don't know what the kitchen staff is trying to poison me with, but they better find a better vintage then this flat slop!" He threw the crystal goblet on the ground and it shattered. "Now clean this mess up!"
