Rather short chapter this time it'll be longer next time. Sorry.

Oh and if you read it I'd love if you reviewed. Good or bad. Just make sure if its bad you make it constructive. Tell me why its bad and offer something to help me improve. I'm an artist but sometimes I just wanna be able to write my ideas to.

Last thing is

Swordmon and Jacob (c) Lindsay

Firemon and Ashley (c) Me

Digimon (c) Bandai.

and enjoy.

She needed her backpack. It was the middle of the night and the only digital gate had led her into the middle of the city; in a dark alleyway. The wrong place for a girl her age to be in the middle of the night but she didn't care right now. The Digiworld is corrupted. Damn you Jacob you're a dumb ass. Thanks to you I don't even have my Digivice. Now there's no way I'll ever find a gate to take me to the digital world and even if I somehow get back what am I gonna find? How many Digimon will be deleted?

This all led to an even greater problem. Without my Digivice Firemon cant Digivolve. If his mega form couldn't beat Jacob there's no way his rookie form can.

She told Firemon to follow her but to stay out of sight. She didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. Lest anyone she knew see her. She headed out the alley with no problems and down the deserted street with no problems.

It was getting cold though she needed to get her backpack. She had hid it on the outskirts of the city but that was miles away it'd take her all night to reach it. Damn digi-ports. She thought.

While she was walking it gave her greater time to think. She should warn the others but she didn't have the money to contact them. No…This time I really am on my own. There was no one she could turn to. She couldn't even use her Digivice to contact them; Jacob had made sure of that. Fuck you Jacob. Ruin everything. You're not supposed to be this weak.

So deep in thought she didn't even notice the hooded figure following behind her. If she had she wouldn't have turned down the dark alleyway taking a shortcut and told Firemon to meet her on the other side. Her lack of attention was going to cost her.

"Hey there little lady." The figure said, catching her attention. She turned around and looked at him with her cold ice blue eyes. She couldn't see his eyes because the hood covered them so her attempt to stare him down was futile. How can I be so careless as to make a mistake like this? She wondered. However calm her face was clearly she was off her game today.

Instead she used her monotone voice which she had perfected in an attempt to scare him away. "What do you want?"

"Oh nothin' too much." He replied in a tone that implied otherwise. He took a few steps towards her forcing her to back up to keep the distance. Unfortunately she bumped into another hooded man standing behind her. One was bad but two people getting the jump on her. Maybe that Jacob thing is affecting me more then I thought.

Before she could get away he grabbed her and held her, preventing her from getting away. She weakly attempted her pull herself free but that wasn't happening. He was too strong. The other man approached her reaching into his pocket but for what she didn't know.

No Firemon to help you. No one to help you. Gotta do it yourself. The irony here is amazing.

She kicked backwards catching the man holding her in a very vulnerable spot. He let go of her long enough for her to scramble away. She wasn't going to run, but in the end that may have proved to be a wise choice. For the man who was reaching into his pocket had pulled out a knife and started advancing on her wielding it blade upwards.

He took a swing at her but she caught his arm before it could do anything and twisted the knife out of his hands. It fell to the floor with a clatter. The man she had kicked attempted to grab her again. But she side stepped him and while his motion was moving forward she pushed him as he passed so he fell face first into cement.

The knife man tackled her while her attention was diverted and the both fell to the ground. He attempted to pin her to the ground and shouted something to his friend in a language she did not recognize. It might have been French or German she had no idea. She only spoke one language and had never bothered to learn any others.

Ashley attempted to get the Knife man off her but in a wrestling match she had no hope. He managed to pin her arms to the ground so she couldn't move. His friend then pulled out a needle from his pocket. It was filled with something but she didn't know what. She didn't really care what if was she didn't want it jabbed into her.

She glanced to the side the knife was laying there. If she could reach it… She kept her eyes on the man pinning her down and grabbed the knife she hurled it into his side. She man cried out in pain and Ashley shoved him to the side and quickly scrambled to her feet. The needle man came at her attempting to stick the needle in her.

She stabbed him in the gut with it when he got close enough. She wrenched it in as deep as she could, the adrenaline pumping through her mixed with her rage she had been hiding in her since Jacob had been corrupted. He groaned and fell over blood pouring from his gut and gurgling from his mouth.

"That's for Jacob." She said before she had time to think about what she was saying. Then she realized a pain in her arm. She looked at it. A needle was stuck in it. So he had been able to get her before she killed him. She ripped it out of her arm.

She laughed in spite of it all. She didn't know what but she found something in this hilarious.

"Better meet Firemon. I'm sure he's worried." She said and hurried off to meet him.
