SICKNESS AND FEAR
Another half an hour passed before Tai finally set me down on the ground, "It's about time," I thought and struggled to move, "Izzy it's me Tai," Tai said and the door that I was leaning on opened. I mumbled a curse word but it didn't reach past the tape, "Agumon can you get him, come on Kari," Agumon dragged me into the house by my feet and set me against a wall in a room, "We need some answers." Matt said and tore the tape off of my mouth, "the children gasped at the sight of my mouth but i couldn't see their horrified expressions. "Tai did you do this," Izzy asked and Tai shook his head, "No it's a reminder for me, now can you get this horrid blindfold off of me," I said and nothing happened, "Well," I said and Matt took the blind fold off.
"We need answers Wizardmon," Izzy said and I rolled my eyes, "What else is new," Matt scowled at me and Gabumon came up to me, "Talk or we'll make you talk," he threatened and I smiled. "Oh no what are you going to do," I laughed and Gabumon looked at Matt who nodded, "Blue Blaster," I soon caught on fire and my I screamed in pain, "Gomamon," Joe said and the little digimon put out the fire, "Wizardmon why do you have a digi-vice and a crest," Izzy asked and I smiled. "Why do you need to know," Izzy sighed and shook his head, "Biyomon," the bird grabbed my feet and flew up, I hung upside-down until I felt sick, "Fine put me down before I get sick," I yelled and gagged slightly. Biyomon set me down floor and I felt dizzy, "Answer the question," Tai yelled and I gagged again, "Wait till the room stops spinning," I said and Gatomon came up to me with a trash can. I gagged again and Gabumon lifted me so I could reach the trash can, "Oops," Biyomon said and I got sick, "God damn it," I whispered and got sick again, "I have those because they belong to me," I yelled and my stomach lurched again in sickness.
"Ewe," Mimi said and Gabumon set me back when I knew there was nothing left to get sick on, Joe walked up to me and gave me some medicine then cleaned me up, I was covered in a cold sweat and I began to run a fever. "What do you mean they belong to you," Izzy asked and I looked at the kids, "He needs some sleep, he actually pretty sick and that fighting he did didn't help it," Joe said, I looked up at him and closed my eyes. Tai ran up to me and grabbed my jumpsuit by the collar, "You're not getting away that easy," he yelled and I opened my eyes again, "Tai he's really not well," Joe said and Tai shook his head, "He's lying, I just know it, he's not sick he's faking. If he can lie about being our friend he can lie about anything," he yelled and I saw the sorrow in his eyes, "Tai stop it," Kari yelled and I looked at her, "Tai he may be liar but that doesn't mean he doesn't get sick." I began to shiver in Tai's grip and he let me go letting my head thump against the floor, "So hot," I whispered, "We're going to need a thermometer, some medicine, blankets and those ropes off of him," Joe said and lifted me up.
I soon passed out in Joe's arms and he laid me on Izzy's bed, "Why are you going to save this guy Joe," Matt asked and Joe smiled, "He holds the answers we need remember," Matt nodded and Mimi came up to Joe with a thermometer, "Here you go Joe," Joe shook my shoulder and I awoke, "Open your mouth," I turned on my side the ropes digging into my skin, "Gomamon I'm going to need your help," Gomamon jumped up onto the bed and flipped me over onto my back, "Now stay still," Gomamon said and say the pain in my eyes, "Joe something's wrong," he said and I opened my mouth for the thermometer, "What is it Gomamon," the thermometer beeped and I opened my mouth. "So tired," I said and rolled over again, "101.4, we need to bring that down," Joe said and walked away from me then came back with a wet rag, "Did anyone find some scissors," he asked and Gomamon shook his head, "So hot," I whispered as I shivered.
"Wizardmon what are you sick with," Joe asked and I closed my eyes, "Answer me," he yelled and I sighed, "I've tried to heal it but it keeps opening up, I think it's infected," then I rolled onto my stomach and dug my face into the pillow. "Where," he asked and I sighed, "My back," then another spasm of shivers hit me, "Izzy where's that medicine," Joe called as he untied my arms and legs, "Tai went to buy some," Joe sighed and pulled the rope and duck tape off of me then went to find some scissors, I rolled back onto me back and looked at Gomamon. "This guy lied to us, why we should help him is beyond me," Gomamon thought and jumped off the bed, an hour passed and I only felt worse, the children had fallen asleep and Tai hadn't come back, "My stomach," I whispered weakly and sat up on the bed.
My stomach didn't agree with the decision and I gagged, "Sick," I said and somehow stumbled to the bathroom, my stomach let me have it then as it lurched and I got sick in the toilet. "Shit, god shit, shit, shit,' I mumbled before I got sick again, "Is anyone in there," Gatomon called from outside the door, "Damn it," I yelled as I got sick again, Gatomon opened the door and sighed when she saw me getting sick, "What the hell are you doing here," I said weakly and she stared at me. "Were you telling the truth," I rolled my eyes and got sick again, "Why the hell do you care," I said and looked into her blue eyes, "Because you were my only friend," I looked away and cursed under my breath, "Just get the hell out of here," yelled and the wound on my back ripped open further.
Gatomon looked away and ran out of the bathroom, I shook my head and got sick again, "Hey Joe," Tai yelled as he walked through the front door, I stood up and walked over to the sink to wash my face. "Joe," Tai said and looked in the bathroom but scowled at me, "I knew you were lying," he said and grabbed my collar again, I yelled in pain as he lifted me off the ground and my wound opened even larger. "Why did I ever believe that you were on our side," Tai yelled and slammed me against the wall, "Get off," I yelled and my jumpsuit began to tear, "Get off," I yelled louder and my crest that Izzy had in his hand began to glow a emerald green like my eyes. "Why would you do this," Tai asked and punched the piece off wall next to me with his free hand, "Why so you can lie to us even more," I felt my fever rising, and within minutes of Tai holding me against the wall the upper half of my jumpsuit tore and I fell to the ground.
Tai held the cloth in his hand and I crawled over to the cover of the room flash backs filling my head and I yelled in horror then gripped my head, Tai calmed down and let go of the cloth. Tai then turned to me and saw me holding my head and staring at the floor with my eyes glazed over in fear, "Wizardmon," Tai said and I looked up at him in fear, "H-He's coming for me I-I know it, then he'll punish me for failing my mission just like always," my breathing got heavy and the flashbacks got worse. "Wizardmon," Tai whispered and he looked at me, "Tai what's going on," Joe said as he ran into the door way, I curled up into a ball as the flashbacks got worse and worse until the very beginning. "Wizardmon calm down," Joe tried to get close to me but I extended my arm and put up a barrier so no one could come near me, "Tai what happened," Joe asked and Tai looked away. "Tai this is serious he can't stay in there for long, we need to get that medicine in him for his fever, and if the fever get's get too high he'll die along with the answers we need," Tai sat down and looked at me. "I thought he was faking so I lifted him against the wall and he fell then crawled over to the corner, and then he looked up at me in fear and said that he was coming for him and was going to punish him."
"Guys what's going on I heard yelling," Gatomon said and came up to Joe, "He's going to punish me for failing my mission and not coming back," I yelled and tears came to my eyes. Gatomon's eyes fell on the wound on my back and she froze, "That's just like," she whispered and ungloved her right paw to look at her X shaped scar, "Wizardmon calm down," Joe yelled and Gatomon looked up at me. "Let me," she said and touched the field of energy that shielded me, "Wizardmon what happened," I froze at her voice and looked up, she was the only one I heard and her simple voice calmed me, "Gatomon," I said and let the barrier fall, "Wizardmon you're ok, he isn't here," I nodded and sat up, "I am so…tired," I whispered and closed my eyes then fell asleep.
Joe sighed in relief and Tai picked me up, "We need to get that medicine in him somehow," Joe said as Tai set me back down on the bed then hatched an idea, "Gatomon what you do to her," I whispered in my nightmares. Gatomon heard her name but thought nothing of it and fell back asleep next to Kari and Izzy, "Here Wizardmon," Joe said and Tai opened my mouth while Joe slipped the pill into my mouth then Tai forced me to swallow, "Lord Myotismon please I did my best," I whispered and the only one to catch it was Tai but he paid no attention.
