Rika, unfortunately, was lost. She wandered through the forest aimlessly in circles for hours on end. She was being followed, so it seemed. Finally, she stopped at an old, towering castle. Rika dismounted her horse and managed to get through the gate.
The huge door was surprisingly easy to open. This was a little suspicious, but at least it was warm inside and the furnishings were nice. Rika sat comfortably in a chair in the guest room and fell asleep for the rest of the night. She woke the next morning and planned to leave.
But something outside caught her attention. A rose bush was growing nearby. Renamon had said she wanted a rose, so Rika thought it was alright to take just one. But right when she picked one, a rough voice above her sounded.
"So, after I let you rest in my home, you dare to steal from me?! I should just kill you and get it over with!".
Rika looked up and noticed a Digimon on the wall by the bush. It had three ruby colored eyes, wore a black leather body suit that showed his powerful figure, and a black coat with a white fur collar. He had sharp claws and fangs. A metallic tail snaked its way from behind. His face was covered mostly with a navy blue or violet colored face mask that made him look very hawk like. The skin that she could see was a pale, icy blue or gray.
"Please, it's for my Digimon partner. She really wanted a rose. I didn't mean to steal from you".
"You humans are all the same. You think you can take what you want from us and leave us with nothin'. I don't care for Digimon that are tame, missy. But…given the circumstances, I'll be merciful on you. Go back and get your partner. I'll deal with this and we'll work something out".
"And if I don't?".
The Digimon put his claw tips to her face. "Then you'll suffer quite a nasty death, little one. Now, go get her".
"Fine, just don't hurt her".
"I can't make any promises, missy . NOW GO!".
Rika rode off, not sure what was going to happen now.
A/N: I think I described Bee pretty good. I gotta go now. Next chapter: Rika, Bee, and Renamon come to an agreement, an agreement that sets the two friends apart.
