Chapter 4

“What are we going to do now?” I asked.
“Destroy her of coarse.” Davis said.
“Mummymon is probably up there with her.” Alie said.
“Fun, we can destroy bandage boy too.” Davis replied making us all laugh.
“We should probably find shelter.” Christina said.
Walking a little farther into the forest we were in searching for shelter. After a while we had found a cave. It wasn’t too big but we would fit inside.
“I’m going to go find some fire wood.” Joe said.
When he came back he had enough to keep us al warm. Sitting around the fire we all got nice and warm. No one was really talking, unless you count Matt, Christina, Alie, and myself beaming thought’s to each other.
‘We’ve got to think of something.’ Matt thought.
‘No duh Matt.’ Christina thought back.
The others couldn’t hear us and if they would look at us they would just see Matt and Christina on top of a rock cuddling and looking into the fire. They would also see Alie and I leaning against a log with her head on my shoulder and my arm around her. So they wouldn’t even know what we were doing.
‘How much you wanna bet that that creepy spider and as Davis calls him, bandage boy is going to try and kidnap one or two of us.’ Alie thought.
‘Why do you think that?’ Christina asked.
‘Easy that’s what about ¾s of our enemies have done.’ She thought.
‘Good point Alie.’ Matt thought.
‘Well then all we need to do is have some one stand guard.’ Christina thought.
‘Let’s mess with them instead.’ Alie thought.
‘What are you thinking?’ I asked her.
‘We have two or three of us out here and we’ll pretend that we’re asleep and when those two creeps come by we attack them and the others don’t even need to know that they were here.’ Alie thought.
‘Great idea sis but who will stay out side?’ Christina thought.
‘I will,’ she thought, ‘anyone else wanna join me?’
‘I will because if I don’t I’ll be sitting up half the night worrying about you.’ I thought.
‘You know what Tai.’ She thought in reply.
‘What?’
‘I was right you do care to much.’
Once again I blushed and this time all four of us were laughing mentally. ‘Well I’m not going to let you two have all the fun.’ Matt thought.
‘Well if Matt’s in I’m in too.’ Christina thought.
‘That settles it we’re all staying up.’ I thought.
“Hey you guys I just had an idea.” Alie said out loud.
“What is it Alie?” Cody asked.
“Well Matt, Christina, Tai and I will sleep out here incase any one comes and if they do they’ll trip over us.” She replied.
“That’s a great idea.” Sora said.
“Wow look at the time it’s already 11:00p.m. You should all get some sleep.” Alie said.
So the others headed inside and we stayed out there; right before she drifted off to sleep Sora came and handed us our sleeping bags.
“Night mom!” I shouted back at Sora, that made the four of us laugh.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was now 12:00 p.m. ‘Where are they already.’ I thought.
‘Don’t ask me.’ Alie thought.
‘Maybe they want to wait until we are sleeping.’ Christina thought.
‘She has a point there.’ Alie thought.
‘What do you think Tai? Tai? Tai?’ Matt asked.
The others all heard snoring coming from me.
Matt
Alie, Christina, and I sighed as we heard Tai snoring. Alie giggled.
‘He never could stay up all night.’ She thought.
‘That’s right he never could.’ I thought in reply.
‘How about you 2 stay up on watch while Tai and I sleep?’ Christina asked.
‘Sure, no problem.’ We thought as Christina laid down on her sleeping bag and fell asleep.
‘She looks so much like an angel.’ I thought, looking at her. I felt a quick slap on the back of my head.
‘Earth to Matt come in Matt.’ Alie thought, ‘Did you already forget about being able to read each others thoughts?’
‘Oops.’ I thought, ‘At least we found this power after we told each other how we felt.’
‘Uh, not true.’ Alie thought.
‘What do mean?’ I thought back.
‘Well I found the power when you had ripped that band off my neck and I had traces of it before.’ She thought.
‘You heard everything!’
‘Yep, I didn’t tell anyone about it cause I didn’t want to alarm you guys.’
I didn’t say anything. Instead I looked at my girlfriend. The moonlight was shining on her, making her look more angelic.
‘I wonder if I can see her dreams.’ I thought absentmindedly.
Looking at Alie, I saw her roll her eyes and go back to what she was doing. I concentrated hard and I was in Christina’s dreams. She was relaxing by a tree with a figure. She handed him a red rose and whispered something in the figure’s ear. I realized that figure was me. Then she began to kiss the dream me. I sat back and watched as they kissed. All of a sudden, dark clouds surrounded them and a voice said something from those clouds. The dream me was furious and shouted a curse at the clouds. A dark hand shot towards Christina but Golden Eagle blocked it, causing her to delete the instant the hand touched her. I gasped. This hand could delete anything it touches! The hand yet again shot toward Christina but the dream me blocked it. Christina then woke up all sweaty and pale.
‘What’s wrong?’ Alie asked worriedly.
‘N-nothing.’ She thought.
‘You’re pale and that means something’s wrong.’ I thought.
‘I could’ve sworn that I saw 2 of you in my dream, Matt.’ She thought.
‘You two are nuts.’ Alie thought.
‘What? Why don’t you check out Tai’s dream?’ I asked.
‘I was right, you are nuts.’ Alie thought.
‘We’ll go with you.’ I thought in reply.
‘No.’ she thought shortly. ‘I’m not as crazy or as stupid as you.’
Alie then drifted to sleep. Only Christina and I were awake. Christina was laying down in her sleeping bag while I was sitting up.
‘I better get some sleep.’ Christina thought.
‘Ok, I’ll just wake up Tai.’ I thought jokingly. Christina laughed.
‘Well, good luck Matt.’ She thought as she rolled over and fell asleep. Now I was the only one awake.
I walked over to Tai and grabbed a hold of his hair and tugged. ‘Hey Matt.’ He thought irritated.
‘What at least two of us need to be awake. Both the girls fell asleep.’ I thought.
‘Oh well could you find a less painful way of waking me up.’ He thought rubbing his head.
‘I found a way to see their dreams.’ I thought indicating to the girls.
‘Cool.’ Tai thought a smile spread across his face.
‘I went into Christina’s dream awhile ago.’ I thought.
‘And?’
‘And I thought it was cool.’
‘Wonder what happens when I enter Alie’s dreams?’
‘She’ll kill you if she finds out.’
‘How do you know?’
‘You forgot that the 3 of us have been friends ever since preschool.’
‘Oh yeah, I knew I forgot something.’
‘Alie knows us better than Christina does.’
‘Yeah, but Christina lived in America ever since she was born though.’
‘You got a point there Tai.’
‘I wonder how Alie met Christina, and how Amanda met Christina.’
‘I’m also wondering about that.’
‘We’ll ask them when they wake up.’
Just then, Arukenimon and Mummymon appeared. Tai and I pulled out our swords.
‘Alie, Christina, wake up their here!’ I shouted mentally.
‘Wha?’ Alie asked mentally.
‘It’s spider lady and bandage boy.’ Tai thought.
‘Oh.’
‘We already got our swords out.’ I thought.
‘Same here.’
“Well, ain’t it the 4 strongest of the digi-brats.” Arukenimon said.
‘Well ain’t it the 2 stupid Digimon.’ Christina mocked mentally.
‘That’s for sure.’ Alie thought.
Mummymon was about to step on Alie when we heard Tai whisper, “Fire.” We all laughed mentally as he ran around with half of his bandages on fire.
“Mummymon quit playing around you’ll wake the brats up.” Arukenimon whispered.
We saw Alie glare at her as she shot a beam of light right at Arukenimon’s butt. I fired a beam of ice and froze Mummymon solid, while Christina fired a lightning bolt at Arukenimon.
‘Now to have some real fun.’ Alie thought.
“Arukenimon help.” Mummymon whimpered, but it was too late, Alie had Arukenimon floating up in the air.
“I’m a little busy at the moment.” She said.
We watched as Alie opened a port to the world of darkness and send those two flying in. We sat back down in our sleeping bags. Christina was staring at the stars, listening to us blabber about the battle. Soon I wasn’t the only one who knew Christina didn’t say anything.
‘What’s wrong?’ Alie asked.
‘Huh?’ Christina thought.
‘You were staring at the stars.’ I thought.
‘Oh, it’s nothing really.’ She thought.
‘You’re never this quiet.’ Tai thought.
‘I was just thinking.’
‘About what?’ I thought worried.
‘Well, I was thinking about when I first became a digidestined.’
‘What about it?’ Tai thought.
‘I remember that I never really talked to people that much. I was always shy during the Digital World and even in school.’
We all stared at her. She was yet again staring at the stars but her eyes were closed.
‘I never made friends that easily.’ She continued. ‘It was because I never talked to anyone. Until the day I first went to the Digital World. That was then that I started to make friends. My aunt says that I should visit her every once and awhile since she worries about me.’
I looked at Alie and Tai, who were more surprised than I was.
‘When I feel upset or keep something deep inside me I feel a pang of guilt or sadness inside me. All this time I was with you guys I never revealed my past to any of you.’ Christina thought.
‘Is that what you’ve been hiding all this time?’ Tai thought.
‘Yes. I never had friends until I first went to the Digital World. In my team I had Alie, Amanda, Brian, Jake, John, and Katie.’
I looked over to Alie and she already had fallen asleep. I sighed.
‘Guess she got bored of hearing you.’ I thought.
‘Nah, she’s just really tired.’ Tai thought.
‘She’s also heard all this before.’ Christina added.
‘I’m worried.’
‘About what Christina had said?’
‘Yeah. I would like to travel into the past and see for myself how Christina’s team did.’
‘Ok. Good luck.’
‘You’re going with me.’
‘Oh fine. How about we snatch the other digidestined besides Amanda, Alie, and Christina?’
‘Nah, let them sleep.’
Soon enough, we traveled back in time when Christina first became a digidestined. We both landed hard.
“Where are we?” Tai asked.
“We’re in the past when Alie, Amanda, and Christina first became digidestined.” I said quietly.
We heard a noise and saw 6 children land on the ground.
“Where are we?” a kid with brown hair asked.
“I don’t know.” Came a familiar voice.
‘Amanda.’ I thought.
“Welcome to the Digital World, digidestined. My name is Falconmon.”
“What are you?” Amanda asked, staring at her Digimon, Baltmon.
“We’re Digimon, short for Digital Monsters.” Baltmon said happily.
“Hey, our clothes changed!” the kid with brown hair exclaimed.
He was right. Their clothes were now cloaks and they had beam lasers.
“Oh those. Those are what you’re supposed to have. Another group of digidestined are roaming around so we decided to put you in these cloaks.” Leathermon explained.
“You kids are special. Each of you has very powerful, yet special powers.” Gryffinmon said.
“First, let’s get to know each of you kids.”
“I’m Jake Esterly, cousin of Christina Pitcher. I like camping, playing football, and wrestling with my cousin.” Jake said. Jake was that brown hair kid that landed next to Christina.
“I am Amanda Chakur, friend of Christina Pitcher. I like reading, writing stories, and chatting with my friends.” Amanda looked like she had when we first saw her, only she was a bit smaller.
“I’m Brian Johnson, my cousin Alie is a friend of everyone. I’m on the school wrestling team, I like to play football, playing soccer with my cousin, camping, swimming, and going on adventures.” Brian said. He had brown hair a little like Alie’s and he was pretty muscular.
“I’m John Bellton. I like to go on adventures, play video games, play football, and I’m on the school softball team.” John said. He had blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and looked pretty muscular.
“I’m Katie Bellton, sister of John. I am on the school swimming team, I like to wrestle my brother, play tennis, and go shopping.” Katie said. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was skinny.
“I’m Christina Pitcher, cousin of Jake and friend of Amanda. I am on the school volleyball team, I like to read, write stories, chat with my friends, and play table tennis.” Christina said. She looked the same when I first met her, only she is smaller and thinner.
“Alright then, now that we’ve met each other, how about some adventure?” Gryffinmon asked. Brian and John looked happy.
