Chapter 9: Early Wake Up Call
The scenery took place on another world where chaos is everywhere, where grass turn to soils, trees turn to ashes, and the skies turned to crimson blood. Within the centre of the chaotic world rises a large pillar of light.
"Where am I? What in the world happened here?" said Al. "Why are these places so... dead?" At first he looked at the light pillar, than looked around besides the pillar. All he could see is a dread everywhere. Then he looked at the pillar again, then at the base of the pillar. Upon close inspection he saw two figures standing very close to the pillar. Al run towards the figures in order to asked that place. He called and yelled but no respond. When he was closer to the figures he saw that one of them was injured and arguing at the other one that stand very close to the pillar.
"I'm sorry, but I must go. It is the only way," said the first figure that stands near the pillar that happened to have a male voice.
"No! Why does it have to be you? I won't accept this!" said the injured figure with a female voice.
"I have no other choices. I'm the only one that can save the world from disaster," said the first figure with sad tone voice.
"But still, it's not right. Why you? After I've finally knew who you really are, why do you have to go?" said the injured figure starting to cry.
"You already know that I carried the data that can reverse this. It's written in the prophecies."
"I know but after we become so close, it's hard for me to lose you. I don't care about the prophecies, I don't care everything. I just want to be with you."
"I know and I'm sorry. It is really hard for me too, to accept the fact," said the first figure moving away from the pillar then hugging the injured figure.
"But I'm going to miss you, and not just that. You will die without any traces left." She cried even louder.
"As long it is for the sake of our worlds, I gladly accept my fate." he said and plant a small caring kiss at her forehead. "Don't worry about me, my love. As long as you remember me, I always be in your heart and so am I." he then release the embraces and walk toward the pillar again.
"Farewell for now. Hopefully I will meet with you again in the next life. And we can be together again forever. Farewell and I love you..." Were his last words and then jump to the pillar, after he jumps in, the pillar starting to flash brightly like a sun shines so close to the world, so bright that even passes through the eye lid.
Al can't see clearly because of the light. But after the light engulfing his entire body, he heard the whisper from the injured shadow. "Good bye, my true love..." after that everything went blank.
Al woke up with a sudden gasp. ‘What a weird dream.' His eyes tried to look at his surrounding, but all he got was a blur vision. When he looked closely enough he was in his room, but why does his room so spacious? When he looked at his right he saw his bed. Why did he sleep on the floor? He tried to call back the reason then a name suddenly enters to his mind. "Renamon," Then he jump into sitting position to look at his bed. He saw an anthropomorphic vixen with yellow fur slept soundly. ‘She is still asleep. Guess she is a vixen doesn't mean she is a nocturnal.' He thought. ‘But, where are my glasses? I can barely see without them.' he looked at his left side of the bed and felt the glasses with his right hand. ‘I know it is here.' he kept feeling until his hand touch something familiar. ‘Ah. Here it is.' He grabbed the glasses and put it on. ‘Finally, now I can get out slowly without waking her up. But what time is it?' he looked at the clock at the study desk. ‘WHAT! Five to four no wonder it's still dark outside. Well I tried to get some more sleep then.' He removed his glasses and went to sleep again.
After 45 minutes shutting his eyes, shifting for comfort, even counting sheep all went avail. ‘Man I can't sleep back again because of that dream.' He said to himself then he looked at the ceiling. ‘I wonder what kind of dream is that.'
He tried to remember again that dream he had. ‘A man and a woman arguing at something; saving the world, was it kind of cliché just likes other stories I read or heard?' he sat up again still thinking about his dream. ‘What was that bright tower? The weirdest thing was that figures. The man was wearing armor with a horn helmet and blades attach to his arms, and the woman was like wearing a mask holding her injured arms. Her action towards him is more like a lover.' Then he suddenly snaps from his train of thoughts. ‘Urgh... what am I thinking about?! This has got nothing to do with me!' he said while holding his head and shake it wildly. His action was making Renamon stirred from her sleep, that makes Al stopped at what he was doing and waiting if she was disturb or not. But no voice was heard, only a small sigh from Renamon still sleeping though. That makes Al relieved that she didn't wake up. ‘Phew, that was close. Better get out of here before I make more ruckuses.' He then grabbed his glasses and stalked out of his room.
After he close the door quietly he can relief himself and walk freely without crept around disturbing anyone. "What should I do this early morning?" he asked himself in whisper heading toward the table. "I haven't waked up this early before, not that I remember. But it is still frustrating." When he reaches the table, he heard a small snore coming from the couch at the living room. Al looked at the owner of the snore, and it belongs to his mother.
"What the, sleeping at the couch again?" he said seeing his mother slept at the couch for many times. "Man. She never let me rest, would she? Sleeping like this when the season changing really bad for her health." Then he waltzes slowly toward his mother's room and grab a blanket to cover his mother. "Phew! What a foul smell! Guess that her side job really reeks her with alcohol. Better get the headache pills and water ready." He then waltzes again to the kitchen preparing a medicine and a glass of water.
"Well that takes care of it. What else should I do next," he asked himself after looking the job well done. "Guess I should walk around the street then, catching some morning breeze."
He then looked on the floor near her mother, searching a key to the house but to no avail. Then he looked at the entrance door to the house and saw the keys were hung at the key slot, "What the...?! Not again. If this keeps on going, we will surely be robbed. But then again it is my intension from the start." He then put his sneakers on and headed outside, locking the door behind him and walked away.
He walks around the quiet street of night leaving only street lights and a moon illuminates his way. He also felt a strong breeze from the wind. "Brr... I never knew it will be this cold after the rain. Too bad I wore my casual clothes before I went to bed last night." He looked at himself again, wearing only a plain t-shirt and shorts with no money and only keys inside his pocket. He keeps on walking slowly for who knows how long. Sometime a stray cat broke the silent when it jumps out of the bin making a loud scrub and banging from the bin itself. And that startle him since this is his first.
"Stupid cats, always lurking around scavenging some food in the trash," he said with a grumble but halt for a while. "Speaking of cats, I wonder how she was right now. She looked completely beat back then after the match. I hope she is alright now."
He then continued walking again but somehow he ended himself at the entrance park he went yesterday. "Wow did I walk that far? Guess you will forget how far you wandering of when your mind got sidetrack." Then he looked again at the entrance. "Maybe I just walk inside for a while and then head back home." He walks around the park slowly and scared a bit because of the wind blowing the trees. Then he reached to the pond the first time he met Renamon. "Weird, this was the first time I met her and yet I completely mesmerized by her beauty." Then he looked at his surrounding and to see that the moon has finally gone, and the sky has been replaced by gray purple sky telling him that the sun is coming up. "But then again, I'm a complete weirdo since I dislike human a lot because of their behavior and actions. But that is the life I should be facing without any choices. Hmph... me and my train of thoughts, time to head home." After that he went back to the road he was taken from before in order not to get lost.
By now the street lights were out because of the timer, leaving only the light of the dawn illuminating the path he took. And by the time he arrive at his house, the sun has finally rise. Thankfully there are clouds that cover the rays. He unlocked the door and went in, he locked again just to be safe from everything then walked in. he saw first thing is that his mother still in the couch sleeping. "She is still asleep and *yawn* I'm beginning to feel sleepy." He looked at the clock near the dining room. "It's 6.30 in the morning. Guess I should take a couple of Z for a while." Then he walked in to his own room and quietly opened the door. Looking at his guest, Renamon, still asleep he slowly crept in and then closed the door. But by the time the door close, he is in quite of a shock hearing a voice from behind.
"Where have you been?" said Renamon with a soft voice. Then slowly woke up and stretch out to cast off her sleep.
"Gahh! Renamon!" he said whispering turning around to see Renamon awake and stretching. "I thought you were a sleep."
"I was for a while." She said and started yawning. "Then I heard your gasp, but since I didn't sense other presence I know that you only had a bad dream."
"Do all digimon have a high sense?" he asked while remembering last night that she was waiting when he brought the beverages.
"Well, not all of them." she said while licking her fur like other beast do when they grooming. "So, where were you?"
"Oh, I just walk around taking some fresh air."
"In the early dawn?" she asked with a disbelief tone.
"Well I couldn't sleep back thanks to the dream I have. And what's more is that I've never been awake that early."
"A dream, was it a nightmare?"
"It doesn't matter. Now if you don't mind I want to back to bed after walking around for long."
"I don't think you should, because I heard a groan from outside," said Renamon with a small giggle.
"Oh God, I forgot to set a bucket for her vomit!" after he said that he zoomed out headed toward the kitchen leaving the door wide open. In a couple of minutes she heard a loud voice, "OH MAAAN!!" yelled Al in agony. "YOU DID IT AGAIN, MOM!!"
His yelled can be heard in his room where Renamon laugh without a sound. ‘Guess he didn't make it.' She said in thoughts. ‘I hope he cleans it because it smells reeks.'
