Chapter 4
Leaving
The next night, Tailmon slowly opened her bedroom door and crept out. She tiptoed towards the door that led to the stairs. She reached for the door and went to turn the handle. Locked.
In despair she walked back into her room and went to the window. There was thick, strong ivy growing up the walls, and she had often climbed on it when she was little. She took off her shoes and climbed onto the window sill. She set her foot onto a thick ivy branch. Just as she had pulled herself up and onto the plant, she heard the bedroom door open.
"Tailmon? Where are you?" Mimi's voice asked. She saw Hikari stick her head out the window. "Tailmon!" she hissed. "what are you doing?"
"I need to get to the roof." Tailmon answered. She took another step to the side and up a little.
"then I'm coming too." Mimi said. She ducked out of the window and took off her shoes. Then she climbed up onto the vines as well.
Tailmon reached the roof first, because she could climb better. Wizarmon was already waiting for her on the top. She ran to him and they embraced.
"oh, Wizarmon, I'm so glad you are here." Tailmon said, crying. "my dad told me I'm not allowed to be anywhere near you."
Wizarmon rubbed her back gently and tried to comfort her. "it's ok. Not even your dad could ever keep us apart."
Tailmon sniffed and looked up at him. "Wizarmon, can't we leave? Go somewhere where we could be alone, and my dad wouldn't try to keep us apart?"
"the only place we could go to is just outside the kingdom is a little town. It would be quite a journey to it after we leave the kingdom, but he would have no jurisdiction there." Wizarmon said. "I used to live there. I have friends there that would let us hide there and we could live happily."
Tailmon looked him in the eyes. "do you want to go there?"
Wizarmon looked her in the eyes as well. "only if you do."
"I do." she said. She leaned in and kissed him.
"ok then." he wrapped his arm around her, just under her chest. "hold on tight!" he said, kicking off the ground and flying west.
Mimi looked up to see Tailmon flying off with a Wizarmon. She gasped and quickly climbed down and back through the window. Vamdemon needed to know this.
