You Never Saw Me

1999

   The water was dark, pitch black all around her. There was no light, no sound, the only reason she knew she was even in water was the coldness that seeped in her mouth when she tried to scream. She swam upwards, struggled against the thick coldness, until her head broke and she gasped, sputtering, the sounds of struggling splashing loud against the stillness.

   She spotted what looked like a beach about fifty yards away, just as dark as the air and light around her. She had no idea what kind of world she had fallen into, but for now her legs couldn’t keep her up for much longer. She swam sloppily to the beach, rejoicing silently when her feet touched bottom and dragged herself to the shore, panting and collapsing in the gray sand. She wished she were on a normal beach with bright sunlight that would warm her, but everything in this place was cold. Cold and dark.

   She shivered when the wind began to blow. Her pink lace dress clung to her body like a soggy second skin, and her black mary janes felt heavy. She kicked them off and struggled to sit on her knees, hugging herself to try to keep warm. She looked around with tired, weary green eyes, taking in the dark lighthouse. Everything was gray, even was gray, her normally vibrant pink dress dull and lifeless, and her long curly blue hair was the same shade of gray as everything else in this place.

   “I must be dreaming,” she said softly. “I must’ve hit my head when we hit that other car. But where’s Mom and Dad? Where’s Dawn and Brian?” She pulled herself to stand again, legs shaking, and dried to brush off all the sand that clung to her dress before quickly giving up.

   “Dawn? Brian! Can anyone hear me?” She yelled, holding her hands around her mouth. “Daddy? Mommy? Where are you?” No one answered. She contemplated going into the forest behind the beach, but what if they were searching for her? She didn’t know how she got to this crazy place, but Mom always said when you were lost, wait, and someone would find you. So she sat back down in the sand, facing away from the water, and waited.

   And waited.

   And waited.

   Finally, after what felt like hours of waiting, something rustled in the bushes. She jumped up, shaking with fear. What if it was some dark animal going to eat her? But what if it was Dawn or Brian or her family coming to find her? She didn’t have long to wait as a short figure emerged from the bushes, and she let out a relieved breath.

   It was an old man, about her height, half bent over with a top knot of white hair and kind eyes. He wasn’t gray like her, like this place; he was pink and navy and bright-looking. He seemed somewhat surprised to see her.

   “Why hello there, little one! And just who might you be?” He sounded like Santa Clause, or at least like the Santa Clauses on TV.

   “Serena. Serena Ichijouji,” she said softly. He seemed taken aback at that, and quickly pulled out a little white computer from a pocket she couldn’t see. He scrolled down muttering to himself before stopping completely still. Serena wondered if she’d swallowed some of the ice cold ocean water, because now something heavy and cold swirled in her stomach as he shook his head sadly, his eyes filled with pity. Pity for her.

   “Come with me child,” he said softly, holding out his hand. “Your destiny just took a very big wrong turn.”

   Tentatively she placed her cold hand in his, grateful that it was as warm as he himself seemed. Behind the bushes he came from she could see light and bright colors, and hoped desperately it was the door out of this place.

    Oh, Serena Ichijouji, Gennai thought sadly, I’m so sorry for the hardships you’ll have to endure now. Alone.

2003: The Digital World

   “It’s useless to escape my Dark Rings,” a dark figure smirked, chuckling darkly as he watched a cloud of Dark Rings sink into the forest, his grin widening as he heard the screams of struggling and terrified Digimon. “Just give in, you know what they say, ‘The more slaves, the merrier I am!’” He laughed maniacally at his own joke as the small green worm next to him cringed.

   “That’s not your best material, Master,” he simpered, then whimpered when his Master angrily kicked him aside.

   “What did I tell you about speaking, Wormmon? Never do it! Now shut up, I want to watch the the fall of the Digital World,” he growled, turning with a flap of his cape as the small Digimon struggled to stand and hurried after him.

Gennai’s Home

   The teenager stared at the screen, eyes completely disbelieving what she was seeing. “You mean... but it can’t be... that’s Ken, my Ken? The sweet little boy who used to make cupcakes with me every summer? But it can’t be Gennai, you’re wrong!” She stood angrily, starting three figures behind her. Gennai sighed and waved his hand, causing the image on the screen to fizzle out. “When did Ken become a DigiDestined? And why didn’t you tell me?! Didn’t I have a right to know?”

   “I’m afraid it is Ken, my dear. He’s no longer the kind little boy from your childhood; he’s grown up alone and something has happened to turn his heart from kindness to darkness. He apparently received his Digivice before you came here, but didn’t begin using it until after his brother’s death.” Gennai stood, groaning as his old bones creaked. “I didn’t tell you because it wasn’t the time; you know you can’t fight your destiny.”

   “Then do something! Save him!”

   “I can’t.”

   “Then what’s the point of you?” She yelled, green eyes flashing. “Tell me, oh powerful Gennai, if you can’t stop him, who can?” She paced the floor angrily. “Someone has to help him!”

   Gennai gave her a toothy smile. “Of course they do, my dear. And they will, with help from you.”

   She stopped completely still, green eyes wide. “Wait... what?”

   “You know the Digital World better than the Digimon themselves, Serena. It is up to you to help your cousin and those who will come against him in defense of this world. You must take your Digimon and help them. Only by helping them fight Ken can you help him.”

   Serena sank down onto the floor, head bowed. Her hair covered her face, and her hands resting on her thighs tightened. “What if... what if I can’t? He’s the only family I have left, how can I fight him? And what about when he realizes who I am, huh? How am I supposed to explain, ‘Yeah, it’s been four years, you thought I was dead on the way home from your brother’s funeral, funny story...’” She sniffed softly. “And what do I tell him when he wants to take me back with him? That I can’t leave here?”

   “As smart and intelligent as you are, Serena, sometimes you miss the big picture. Tell me, when have we seen the Digimon Emperor?”

   Serena wiped her eyes furiously with her sleeve. “In the daytime, he never comes out at night.”

   “Exactly.”

   “Exactly what? Wait...” Serena snapped her head up to look at her guardian and mentor. “If he’s never here at night, where does he go? He... he goes home, doesn’t he? The gateway between the worlds has opened again!”

   “Precisely, my dear. He can travel back and forth when he pleases, which means so can you.” Gennai smiled kindly at her, but paused when he noticed new tears. “Aren’t you happy?”

   “I can’t go back,” she said softly. “My family’s gone, and if I go back now they’ll ask too many questions. They think I’m dead, it’s better that way.”

   “That’s not true!” The middle figure in the background stood, her voice passionate and angry. “Rena, you have to go back now that you can! You don’t belong here, you’re not a Digimon!”

   “She’s right, Rena, you should be with other humans like you,” the smaller figure on the left nodded, her voice tinkling.

   “I agree, I believe it’s time,” the figure on the right raised his head from his paws. “But you know we’ll agree with any decision you make, Rena. We always have.”

   Serena sighed. “How can we fight him? We can’t Digivolve with those Control Spires, and even if we could, we can’t make it past Champion.”

   “You must use an ancient form of Digivolving. The Digi-Eggs have been located in the Southern Canyon outside of Digital Chinatown. Go there, and you will be able to Digivolve.” Gennai replied. “Azulongmon has assured me that those Digi-Eggs will make the difference between the survival of the Digital World and it’s complete destruction, so really, no pressure.”

   Serena smiled wryly. “When I leave here...”

   “You won’t be able to come back, but we’ll see each other again, sooner than you think. Now it’s time for you to go, my dear. Find the Digi-Eggs, join the others, save Ken. I believe in you.” He bowed, as much as his back would allow, and Serena bowed back before launching herself at him, enveloping the small man in a hug.

   “Until we meet again, my dear,” he said softly. She sniffed and nodded, motioning for the three dark figures to follow her. As they left the home of Gennai, it began to fade and dissolve behind them. Serena paused and turned, watching it completely disappear.



   “Let’s get going, guys.”

   A/N: Sorry it's kind of short, it came out to be 5 pages on the word processor. I know it's kind of vague and everyone's going "Seriously, this is a Mary-Sue". I swear it's not, and my OC is not invincible or perfect, cuz that shit is BORING. I'm working on chapter 2, then I'll go back and flesh this out some more. Please R&R!!!
