Dee was walking with her friends in the Digital World. It was bright and sunny. Everyone was smiling and laughing. Suddenly, however, they all disapeared, first Tai, then Ken last, leaving Dee alone. This scared her. Then everything started to turn dark and cold. Dee shivered uncontrollably with cold and fear. Suddenly, vines came out of the ground. One struck her hard in the back, as the vines started to wrap around her. She cried in agony as she felt a sharp crunch. The vines pulled her up off the ground, dangling painfully. Squinting through pain narrowed and tear filled eyes, Dee could see a shadow coming slowly towards her, laughing in a cold and evil way. Dee struggled to escape, but it was no use.
"At last, I have you!" the shadow hissed."You are mine, now, and I will make you suffer!"
The shadow rushed at Dee. She couldn't take it anymore. She screamed.
Ken was jerked awake by a blood chilling scream of terror from below him. He jumped out of his bunk. Dee was laying on top of her nest of blankets, eyes open wide, starring, arms flung to the sides, but not moving. Ken's parents ran into the room.
"Ken, we heard a-!" his mother started as she skidded in. She saw Dee."Oh my god!"
"Ken, what happened?" his dad asked.
"I don't know." Ken said, kneeling beside Dee."I heard her scream. It woke me up."
He bent his head to Dee's chest. She was still breathing, but barely. Her heart was beating irraticaly. Ken gently shook her, but she didn't respond.
"I'm going to call the other Digidestined." Ken said."They should know about this. Maybe Joe can snap her out of it."
In an hour, all of the older Digidestined, excluding Mimi and Izzy, had arrived at Ken's. By that time, Dee showed signs of stirring. Ken's parents let them in, and they went to his bedroom. Ken was sitting with Dee, holding her still limp hand.
"What happened to her?" Joe asked.
"I don't know. I was sleeping, then I heard this horrible scream, and I found Dee like this."
"Dee?"
"Yeah. I little less confusing than calling a girl Davis." Ken explained. Dee stirred a bit more, and blinked slowly.
"Dee?" Ken asked.
"K-en." Dee managed to say."Don't-"
Dee subsided into silence again, closing her eyes.
"Don't...what?" Ken asked, confused. The others were confused.
"Don't leave me..." Dee said, eyes still closed. She scrunched up her face, hot tears squeezing out of her eyes.
"I won't leave you, Dee." Ken said, reaching out and stroking her hair. Dee suddenly gasped, went white, then arched her back with a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?!" Joe asked.
"Ahh, my back!" Dee cried.
Ken sat her up, then lifted a bit of her pyjama top in the back. What they saw was a horrible patch of bruising and swelling near her spine. Dee was crying hard with pain by now, and holding on to Ken tightly. Ken thought his ribs would crack soon, but didn't mind for Dee's sake. Joe swifty examined her.
"It's a broken rib, very close to the spine. She should go to the hospital."
"But, she doesn't have a medical record as Dee." Matt said.
"That's true..."
"Bind it up." Dee said in a low voice, the kind when one was trying to keep from screaming.
"I don't know if-" Joe began.
"Please?" Dee said, turning her gaze to him. She gave him her best puppy-dog eyes. Joe couldn't resist.
Dee had been tucked back into her nest of blankets. Ken sat beside her, holding her hand while she slept. He wouldn't admit it, just yet, but he was starting to have very deep feeling for Dee. He looked around his room. The others were sprawled here and there, deep in sleep, and Sora was sleeping in his bed. Ken smiled to himself. He'd let them all stay because it was no use in going all the way home just to get one hour of sleep, then have to get up again. Speaking of which, he was starting to feel pretty sleepy himself. He slowly closed his eyes...
The shadowy Digimon smiled in cruel satisfaction. "That was brilliant, Master!" the black Palmon cried, crimson eyes shining. "Thank you." the digimon said."Her screams and pain was quite satisfying. For now. But I must go easy on her, next time. I don't want her to die of fright before I get to meet her face to face!" Evil laughter filled the night sky.
