Chapter Five: Scary Stories

"We're back!"

"Took you long enough. But I'm guessing you did more than just gather firewood."

"Maybe. Hey, how's that glass jaw of yours."

Matt scowled at Tai. "Fine."

"Glad to hear it."

"So who's gonna start the fire?"

"Um…."

"I've got it!"

"Davis? Had an idea?"

"Hey! Fine, you don't get it."

"All right. We freeze in the pitch black."

"Okay, I'll tell you. Izzy, give me your laptop."

"Just be careful with it." Izzy handed his laptop to Davis.

"Let's see, Veemon…Veemon…A HA! Found him! Digiport, open!" Davis was sucked into the screen. A few seconds later, he popped out, with Veemon. "All right, Veemon. Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Veemon, Digivolve to…Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage. Fire Rocket!" The tall blue digimon shot jets of fire towards the fire pit. Soon flames erupted.

"Thanks, Veemon. That'll be all."

"See ya' `round Davis." The tall dragon disappeared back into the computer.

"Well, fire. Guess you're glad I had that idea, huh?"

"Yes, very glad Davie. So, who want's to tell the first ghost story?"

"Well, considering I'm the best, I'll go first," Matt proclaimed.

Tai snorted.

Matt chose to ignore him. "Well, my story is titled, Sound Bites…`Hunter Smith was singing to her. Just to her. All she could do was sit there, still as a statue….'" Matt's story continued for a while. Soon his story was nearing the end. "…`Just then, the awful realization hit me. The music was inside me! It was just like I'd told Dad last week. The music was a part of me. It was part of my soul. It was in my bones…!" Soon most of the boys felt the girls they liked creeping closer. Tai put his arm around Sora. "…But unlike my stereo, my body didn't have an off button! `Help me,' she pleaded, dropping to her knees. The music was even louder now. Her ears hurt. Her head felt like it was going to explode. `Turn it off! Please, Daddy, make it go away!' Her father was on his feet now. He was saying something, but she could only see his lips move. His voice was drowned out by the music blasting through her head. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to shut it down by sheer force of will, but the music was far to powerful. It had taken over her body-or maybe she'd let it take over. Whatever the cause, there was nothing more she could do but let it sweep over her, to take her to another plane, another dimension. To a place of madness.' So, how was it?" Matt's sky-blue eyes swept over the crowd. Few seemed impressed.

"Um, it was, okay." T.K. tried to reassure his brother, but only to have his attempts ruined.

"That was terrible!" Tai started to laugh a little.

"Can you do any better goggle-boy?" Matt shot Tai a penetrating glare.

"Huh?" Davis was obviously not listening.

"Not you, Davis. And yes, I can do better. My story is titled, Tap, Tap, Tap… but I'll tell it later. Someone else go next."

So Izzy started a story. It was titled `Nine Lives', and involved two kids getting sucked into a computer game and having to fight there way out. Then T.K. told a chilling tale called `Scratcher', that involved a cat made out of garbage. Then Jenn told a creepy story, `Faces', where a girl was troubled by a scary face in a ply-wood board and eventually torched it, ending up in a mental hospital.

Sora was getting a little scared, but as previously stated; she had Tai to protect her. But then, he started on his story. Two people were returning from a Halloween party, when their car broke down. The guy, who was driving, to his girlfriend to stay in the car and he would go to a gas station they had seen a few miles back (cliché, isn't it?). So she waited, and waited, and eventually, she heard three knocks on top of the car, *tap, tap, tap*. So the girl got out of the car, and saw her boyfriend's body hanging from a rope, his shoe tapping on top of the car. She turned to run, but she was cut short by a knife blade, cutting into her neck. The next day the police found the two corpses, one hung, the other's windpipe was slashed. They never found the body.

The group stared at Tai, very scared. Finally, Matt spoke up. "Well, yours was scarier."

"Can we stop know?" Kari had grown pale, and was holding T.K. out of fear.

"Sure. Well, sweet dreams." Tai gave a warm smile, but nobody's mood lightened.
