Chapter 2: Predictable

Shibuya wasn't a very big town, neither was it small. A tight knit community where everyone helped out. As the sun began to rise, a young woman walked up the dirt path with a basket hanging off the pale skin of her arm. Her medium burgandy hair sparkled in the sunlight, giving her the illusion of a fiery halo around the crown of her head that almost matched her dark red dress underneath her apron. Her bright hazel eyes dimmed somewhat as she walked into town, regarding the town with malice and hatred. She never liked it here; ever since she had been considered a 'witch' among the towns people, she would always get cold glances from her peers.

"Something isn't right

I can feel it again, feel it again

This isn't the first time

That you left me waiting

Sad excuses, and false hopes high

I saw this coming, still I don't know why

I let you in"

People glared at her as she walked past them, head held high without fear. She passed one of her classmates, Henry, and his little sister, Suzie. A small smile and he was in front of her immediately. 'I don't blame you for wanting to protect her.' She walked by, staring at the cobblestone streets beneath her feet. Two more classmates, Mimi and Sora, chatted pleasantly as they emerged from the bakery, then went silent as she passed by.

"I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable"

"Jeri, we need more pastries!" Takato shouted, wrestling with Guilmon as he tried to sneak a loaf of bread from the shelf. He didn't even hear the bell to the door ring, announcing another customer. "Guilmon, give me back that bre- Alexandria!" Takato screamed out of fear, quickly grabbing a loaf of fresh bread off a nearby shelf and handing it to her. "No need to pay," He was gently pushing her out the door. "Now or ever again. Have a nice day." He pushed her out the door and locked it, quickly pulling the shades and the closed sign. Alexandria sighed, tucking the loaf into her basket and continuing on her way to the bookshop. 'I don't blame them for being afraid of me either.'

Alexandria had just opened the door when it got slammed in her face by none other than the mayor's son and his digimon, Ken and Wormmon. "Good morning Alex. Nice day for spreading chaos, isn't it? Though it's a little early if you want my opinion." Alex glared at him, basket in hand as though to smack him with it. "Of course, I am the digital emperor and every emperor needs an empress. What do you say, Alex?" He held out his hand, waiting for her to take it. Instead, he got the opposite reaction; She stuck her tongue out at him. "Don't you idiots understand? I'm not interested in causing chaos or marrying you Ken!" Now that struck him hard; not one girl had rejected him like that. Alex was even more beautiful than any of the other girls in town and she had rejected him.

"So take your empty words,
Your broken promises

And all the time you stole

Cause I'm done with this"

"I could give it away, give it away

I'm doing everything I should've

And now I'm making a change

I'm living today

I'm giving back what you gave me

I don't need anything"

"I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable"

Alex took the opportunity to vanish into the dark store, quickly slamming the door behind her before turning the wooden counter. "Demidevimon, Myotismon, you here? I brought back the books I borrowed." Alex laid the books on the counter and went up one of the ladders, searching for any new titles in the dim light. "Oh well, I guess I'll borrow this one again." She smiled, jumping off and tracing the cover with her hand. Alex looked up, only to find the books gone and a note in it's place. "Of course, Myotismon wouldn't dare to show his face when the sun's up. And demidevimon is on an errand up to the nearby town. So predictable." She shook her head and reached for the door, only to have a cold hand grasp her shoulder. "And who wouldn't show his face when the sun is up, Alexandria?" Alex grinned, knowing full well who it was. "You should be resting. After all, even you still need time to recover after that attack, Myotismon." She turned around, scowling at the vampire digimon."Yes, I know. Why must you be so cold Alex? Are you afraid of something?" Myotismon smirked, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. "I'm not afraid and I'm not that cold." He smirked again, then disappeared into the darkness. "Then why do you not talk of your family anymore?"

"Everywhere I go

Everyone I meet

Everytime I try to fall in love

They all want to know

Why am I so broken?
Why am I so cold?
Why am I so hard inside?
Why am I scared?
What am I afraid of?
I don't even know T

his story's never had an end

I've been waiting

I've been searching

I've been hoping

I've been dreaming that you would come back

But I know the ending of this story

You're never coming back

Never..."

The walk out of town was uneventful to Alex, but she couldn't stop thinking about the family that had left her behind. 'They never wanted me in the first place. Why should I hope that they'll come back when I got tossed aside like an old shoe? Why should I care?' Alex growled; everything in this town was just too predictable! Everyday was the same exact thing over and over again. The same cold glares, the same proposal and the same teasing from Myotismon and Demidevimon.

"I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable"

"DAMMIT!" She finally screamed, sending a number of birds and small digimon scattering. "I can't take it anymore! I'm getting out of this regretful place!" Alex shouted, slamming the door to her cottage home as she stomped inside. "Every damn day. Same glares, same flirting, same everything! Not anymore!" She grabbed a small sack and started filling it with what food she had. After grabbing a straw hat, she disappeared out the door.

"Everywhere I go for the rest of my life

Everyone I love Everyone I care about

They're all gonna want to know

What is wrong with me?
And I know what it is

I'm ending this right now..."

"I'm sick and tired of being considered a witch!" Alex locked the door and pocketed the key, then looked down the dusty road. "They won't miss me anyway. The town over is much nicer; I might get a decent job there." She smiled as she continued on down the dirt road, her hair blowing in the wind. It wasn't very long before she came to a fork in the road; one side was bright and had several fields alongside the road. The other side was the same for some distance before coming up to a black gateway. "The Dark Forest. All those that enter are never seen again." Alex grimaced before venturing onto the right path, walking in the sun for a few minutes before coming up to a large black open gate. "If I want my new life, then I'll have to go through here first. Nothing's going to stop me."

Little did she know that she was in for an adventure of a lifetime.

Hey again! If you ask, the song is Predictable by Good Charlotte. I thought it would fit in with this chapter.
