Chapter 6
Alex's Past Unfolded
"So, what are we going to do now?" Takuya asked. They were resting in the middle of a forest they were going through. No one's D-Tector was lighting the way, so they were just blindly walking. It was bad. "We have no idea where we're going."
"Yes, but we have to keep going to find the rest of the spirits," Lucas replied.
Lucas got up along with Kouji. "We'll go find some food while you guys stay here and set up camp for the night," Kouji suggested. The gang all agreed so Kouji and Lucas set off to find some food while the others set up camp.
They started to walk on a path, leading away from camp and weren't talking at all. It was all silent between them until they both heard some kind of music. "What is that?" Lucas asked, questioningly.
"It sounds like a flute, but what Digimon plays a flute?" Kouji asked and they both ran towards the sound of the flute.
Alex...
"Rockemon?" Alex whispered, walking through the tunnel-like hallway. "Rockemon, where are you?"
"Leaving so soon?" a voice asked. Alex froze and spun around. She knew that voice.
"I read the book and now I'm looking for Rockemon," Alex replied. "I have no intention of leaving without him."
"You've grown soft over the months here, haven't you?" Kyle replied and smirked.
Alex rolled her eyes. "Yeah right," she replied. "I can't go soft. You should know that by now, especially after what you did to me. You turned the whole school against me just to make yourself look good. I think I know more about how Darkagoomon feels than you do. You've always been loved by everyone." She glared and looked him straight in the eyes. "I only read the beginning and end of this book," she held up the book, "but I have to say, I think you got the wrong spirit."
Alex threw the book down at his feet and turned around. "I was wrong, okay?" Kyle said and Alex stopped. Her eyes wanted to cry, but her mind wouldn't let her. "I didn't mean for that to happen, but I needed friends. I needed to have someone to help me through all the rough times."
(A/n: Emotional, I know, but this is explaining about Alex's past, okay? Jeez, what do you want from me?)
Alex spun around. "What about what I needed?" Alex asked, almost making herself cry. She wanted to forget about this, but it always haunted her. "I was only 8 years old. I didn't know what anything meant then. I just needed time. But you just had to go and turn all my old friends against me just because my parents died. You don't know anything about what happened to them."
"I know everything that happened. My parents told me it all and I couldn't take it. I couldn't take having a friend whose parents died like that," Kyle replied, looking very serious and not like himself.
Alex swallowed. "I remember every detail of that day," she said and she muttered some words under her breath. A cloud of white smoke appeared in front of them and Alex sat down in front of it. Kyle was confused, but he did the same thing.
Memory...
"Bye mom, bye dad, I'm going to meet Lilie and the others!" an 8-year-old Alex yelled and ran out the door. She was going to school. She didn't notice anything about what had happened and didn't see her parents at all that morning nor did she see the note on the kitchen counter.
"Hi Lilie!" Alex said, smiling at her 2nd best friend in the whole world. She had to look up since her friend was a lot taller than her. She was really short for her age.
"Hi Alex," Lilie said, her short blonde hair blowing in the wind and her blue eyes bright. She was playing a hand game with another blonde haired girl with hazel eyes.
"What are you guys doing?" Alex asked.
"Waiting for you and Kyle to come," the other blonde answered.
"Why wait for us, Taylor?" Alex asked, confused.
"Because we had to tell you something," Lilie answered.
Tunnel...
"I don't remember this," Kyle said, confused.
Alex thought about it and replied, "You don't need to know." She waved her hand over the smoke and it skipped a few scenes.
"Why don't you want me to see that part?" he asked, suspicious.
"It's not important, just shut up and listen," Alex replied.
"Go back if you want me to listen," Kyle replied. "I want to know what the big news Taylor and Lilie wanted to tell you and why they didn't tell me."
"Fine, have it your way, but you won't like it," Alex said and waved her hand the other way, taking it back to that scene.
Memory...
"What?" Alex asked, anxious to hear whatever it was.
"Well," Taylor answered and whispered something into Alex's ear. Alex widened her eyes and covered her mouth.
"You aren't going to tell anyone, are you?" Alex asked them. "That would make everyone, that would be really bad. Friends wouldn't do that to each other."
"We're telling the whole school today," Lilie answered. Alex's eyes widened again. "But we thought you'd like to know first."
"You can't!" Alex replied and was very frantic about it. "It would be horrible to live through and then he wouldn't have any friends!"
"Like we care," Taylor replied.
"Yeah, he was only nice to you, anyway," Lilie replied. "He was never nice to us."
"But-" Alex started, but was interrupted by a voice behind her.
"Hey guys, what's up?" the voice said and Alex froze and gulped.
She turned around to face an 8-year-old Kyle. "Nothing, just talking," Alex replied and smiled a little. She put her hand behind her head and slid to the side and then ran towards the school which was a few blocks away.
"What's wrong with her?" Kyle asked, confused.
"We don't know," Lilie and Taylor said at the same time.
Kyle rolled his eyes and walked toward school with Lilie and Taylor right behind him.
Tunnel...
"Pause it," Kyle said and Alex held a hand over the smoke.
"What?" Alex asked, knowing what he would ask.
"Did you take out what Taylor said to you on purpose?" Kyle asked.
"No, why would you say that?" Alex replied, not looking at him.
Kyle raised his eyebrow. "What did she say to you?" he asked, glaring at her. "And why didn't you tell me?"
"I tried to after you told the school about my parents," Alex replied. "I wanted to tell you all day, but Lilie and Taylor kept a close watch on me. Then when they went on the stage in the lunchroom, I panicked. I didn't want them to do that to you and well, you can see for yourself." She waved her hand fast over the smoke and the scene appeared.
Memory...
Lilie and Taylor walked on the stage in the lunchroom while the whole school was at lunch and when Alex saw, she practically spit out her milk. She widened her eyes and knew she had to stop them.
"We have something the whole school should know!" Lilie said into the microphone.
"No, you don't!" Alex yelled and ran on stage. "Don't you dare tell them that!"
"And why not?" Taylor asked.
Then, Alex jumped at Lilie who was just about to speak into the microphone. Taylor tried to get Alex off Lilie, but it didn't work and no teachers were there to help either.
Kyle was the one to take the microphone next. "I think what Lilie and Taylor were trying to say was that Alex's parents were murdered last night." Alex froze and let go of Lilie who had the most confused face on. "They never found out who did it, but they also didn't see any marks of someone entering the building. It had to be someone on the inside who did it." Alex stared at Kyle with hurt in her eyes. "I know that they let Alex off the hook, but all the evidence points to her." He glanced at her before saying his final words. "Everyone, we might have a murderer here in this school."
Alex finally broke. "What?" she asked, almost silently.
"Wow, this is even better than our news," Taylor said and went along with it. "Yeah, murderer!"
Alex kept her head towards Kyle and blinked, confused. "What? My parents are gone?" Alex asked.
"You should know the answer to that," Kyle replied, coldly.
Alex shook her head and backed up a step. "That's exactly what I was trying to say," Lilie replied and smiled wickedly.
"What?" Alex asked her. "You were NOT going to say anything like that! You were going to say the thing you told me this morning before school. That was not about me, it was about him!" Alex pointed at Kyle who shook his head in dismay.
"Blaming people for something they didn't do?" Kyle asked.
"What?" Alex asked. "You can't believe them or anything anyone else says! I would never hurt my parents, let alone kill them!" Tears were streaming down her face.
Kyle just shook his head again and Alex ran from the lunchroom and wasn't seen for the rest of the day.
Tunnel...
"I promised myself I wouldn't cry after that day," Alex replied. "But I lived that day for a very long time in my dreams. I even dreamt of the person who really did kill my parents. It wasn't them he wanted, it was me. He told me that in all the dreams. Said he came from a far away land and that he was after what I held." Alex sighed. "I never had any friends again until I came to the Digital World. Here, I met these Digimon who liked me for me and who wouldn't care what other people said about me. That's why I want to defend this place from whatever or whoever is trying to destroy it."
Kyle looked down. "What were Lilie and Taylor going to say up there before you stopped them?" he asked, looking at Alex.
Alex looked up at him and replied, "That you were adopted and that you were born of a poor family who couldn't afford the smallest things. And that you only got to come to school because it was a law. They were going to tell the whole school that you were living in an orphanage."
Kyle widened his eyes. "You knew that and never told anyone to get back at me?" he asked.
"Friends don't do that to friends," Alex replied and got up. She snapped her fingers and the smoke disappeared. She walked down the tunnel.
"Alex," Kyle said, getting up, and Alex stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry, you are meant for the spirit of love."
Alex smiled at her old friend and replied, "If you ever need a real friend, just contact me through D-Tector." She held up her D-Tector and then walked back towards the exit of the tunnel. "Take care of Rockemon for me, will you?" she asked before she was out of sight again.
Kyle looked down. He really was the Warrior of Hate.
(A/n: WOW! Now that's harsh! Well, Alex's past explains her present, right? And what's with the flute? Are you confused? I'm not! Next chapter coming soon! REVIEW PLEASE! I'll love you forever! )
