Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 3 - Feint Within a Feint ❯ Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Kovin was lying on his back on his couch. He hadn't left his apartment at all the day after the attack, and this was the day after that. Yolei and Kari had fixed his arm up good, but it would still take a few weeks to recover. Until them his right arm hurt whenever he moved it. Kovin lifted his left arm and looked at Kelryn's digivice. The yellow colour of it glinted off the morning sunlight coming in through the window. There was knock at the door.

"Come in!" Kovin didn't get off the couch, he knew Ken's knock. He came in and sat on the chair next to the couch Kovin was lying on. "So what brings you to my humble abode?"

"The others. I picked three and lost, so I had to come talk to you." Ken said.

"So none of you want to talk to me?"

"It's not that, it's just that you've shown violent tendencies when you're mad."

"Oh, well, I'm not mad. Just depressed." Kovin tossed Kelryn's digivice to Ken. "Kari found that in Kelryn's shopping bags. She bought me a couple of shirts, this is one of them. I can't believe it. All we know is that Kelryn is alive. We don't know where or in what condition."

Ken sighed. "Guess every silver lining has a touch of grey." Kovin smiled.

"You like that song too?"

"What song?"

"Never mind. I want Kelryn back. I love her, but everything we try ends up in a dead end, or one of us almost getting killed." Ken thought about it for a second.

"Look Kovin, you can win but you've got to want to succeed." Kovin smiled again.

"Guess it's not easy being the owner of a lonely heart."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kovin started laughing more, Ken looked at him like he was crazy. Ken went to the door and let the other four in. By the time they filed in, Kovin had stop laughing.

"Kovin, we'll find her. We have to." Kari said.

"Yeah, we'll get her. Don't you worry." Added Yolei.

"No we won't guys. We've tried everything. I can't find her. It's over. She's gone." Kovin stood and started walking for the door, Ozlimon started to follow him but Kovin stopped him. "Not now, buddy. I want to be alone." Kovin shut the door behind him, heading for the roof. Ozlimon's feathers drooped.

The others looked around at each other no knowing what to do. "Kari, I know you guys don't remember where you were, but think about the trip back here. What was it like, did you pass any landmarks, and was it up or down hill?" Allura asked.

"We ran uphill almost the whole way back." Kari said. Allura pulled out a bus map of Tokyo, laid it on the table.

"The city runs downhill towards toward the bay, so that means that its below this line." Allura drew a semicircle around Tokyo along the imaginary topographical lines on the map, as they all knew the city well.

"We also ran for about half an hour. So where ever it is its about an hours walk away." Yolei added. Allura stepped of some distance on the map and circled a small area down by the waterfront.

"So what's in that area of the city?" Allura asked. They all looked at the map confused, nothing was recently used in that area of the city. TK gasped and looked at them.

"I know what's there."

Kelryn sat with her back against the wall opposite the door, directly under the window, which was now boarded up from the outside. No natural light entered her room; just the permanent glow of the single bulb hanging in the middle of the room was all she had. She would have sat crossed legged but her injuries didn't permit it. She had stopped crying an hour ago, after letting loose almost the whole night. Her sides hurt, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was thirsty. She hadn't touched the two meals that had been brought to her. They sat on the floor, ignored. Kelryn planned to hide them for later, as she only got two a day.

She heard the door being unlocked but didn't look up. She heard two pairs of footsteps enter her room, neither were Nolan's, the footfalls were too heavy. She looked up, and saw the two guards that were Nolan assigned to keep her pinned down.

"Nolan is going to be up in a few minutes, he wanted us to make sure you'd behave. You just sit there and be quiet, and nothing bad will happen."

"So basically, saying or doing anything will piss you off?" She said. She still had some of her dry wit, but no energy to back it up.

"Hey! A man with a gun just told you to beware." The other guard said. Kelryn snickered at him.

"So, for what it's worth, I shouldn't say anything?" She said, glaring at them.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Before either could get some snappy comeback, Nolan entered carrying a small cloth bag.

"Its OK guys, you can leave. She'll behave. Tell Michelle I'll be down to see her in an hour or so." The guards nodded and left, locking the door behind them. Nolan turned around to Kelryn, smiling. She put her head back down on her knees.

"So, honey. How are you feeling?" She didn't move or respond in any way. "Hey, now don't be that way. I remember when you and Kovin saw each other that day. You two hated each other. Or are you just mad that I killed him before you?" Kelryn still didn't respond. "Or is it something else? Perhaps the little slut you had that brief stint with?" Kelryn glared up at him.

"How did you know about that?" She asked.

"Oh, I have my sources." Nolan sat down on the floor beside her, but crossed legged just to mock the fact that she couldn't. She put her head back down on her knees. "You know, you've always lived alone. Why does it bother you now?" She was back to not responding. Nolan ran his right hand along the back of her hair, and he could feel her shudder under his touch.

He looked her up and down. He had her right where he wanted her. He moved his hand down her hair, across her neck, over her shoulder and down her arm. He could feel her quivering every centimetre his hands moved.

Kelryn knew what Nolan was trying to do. She wanted to stop him, but her body wouldn't obey the commands her mind was sending. She knew his hand was on hers, but she couldn't move. Why did she want to? She had nothing left for her on the outside, not even her digimon to look forward to. He was gently rubbing his fingers back and forth, the friction felt like sandpaper. Then she felt cold metal encircle her wrist, and looked up to see that Nolan's had pulled a pair of handcuffs out of his bag and snapped them on her. She flexed to move her other hand away, but he had it caught and in the cuffs before she could get it away.

She tried to size the situation up, but her mind went numb. Her only thoughts her that of Kovin and Demireumon. She tried to pull away but Nolan grabbed the chain of the cuffs and hauled her to her feet. He forced the chain up with some effort to a hook on the wall. Her feet were off the ground by ten centimetres. Her thoughts came to that of her wrists, as all her body weight was concentrated on the small circles of metal around them. The sore muscles in her arms and shoulders were not helped having her arms forced above her head like that.

Nolan backed away from her. When she opened her eyes, she saw him take off his shirt. She shuddered; she knew what was going to happen now. He went back to his bag, and started rooting through it.

"What are you going to do?" She asked, like she had to.

"Well, I'm just going to make sure you know what your role is in this world; my world." When he turned around, he had three bolts and two more restraints. He bolted one the restraints to the floor in a rough triangle. He started coming towards her with the last two restraints in hand. He was coming slow, expecting her to lash out. And lash out she did. Both her legs came away from the wall when he was in range, and both found their way to his stomach. He fell to the floor, and stood up glaring at her.

Suddenly, her situation dawned on her. Now he was just madder, and she was still in the same place. He came up and punched her in the stomach; while she was trying to recover he placed the other restraints on her ankles. When she regained her senses, she was pulled back off the wall and thrown to the floor. Her legs were instantly restrained into the other bolts. Her legs were now open at a forty-five degree angle. She was in it now.

To cap it up, he brought out a large hunting knife, and used it to remove her clothes. Tears were starting to roll down her cheeks, but she was not crying. The blade had nicked her several times.

Nolan crawled back up to her chest, and started running his hands around her breasts. She was shuddering more than ever now, and now she was crying openly. She felt his cold rough hands where they shouldn't have been, and it had her feeling nauseous.
