One Honest Heart part 3

  "I'm back!" Dallas said in his sneering voice as he walked into the small room, which had been occupied by Mimi for the last little while. His eyes took in the scene…Mimi beside the wall, her head leaning against it, her shoulders drooping in defeat and exhaustion. "I see that you've been busy while was been gone," his voice became even colder.

Mimi slightly rose her head and stared in hatred at him.

"Now! I promised you that I would tell you of his final moments!" Dallas let forth an evil laugh. "I slit his wrists, Mimi. He will soon die from the blood loss. You should have seen his face when he realized what was going to happen!" Dallas laughed evilly once again. "Oh, he's not dead, yet! But he will be, soon!"

Mimi's head dropped back down, and she blinked her eyes rapidly to try to keep the tears away. She refused to give him that small satisfaction.

The nurse sleepily walked down the hallway, checking into each room that she passed to make sure that the patients were okay. She eventually reached the room in which Tai lay, bleeding to death, right in the hospital. She slowly cracked open his door, then pushed it open wider. What she saw made her stomach churn. Tai lay, his face pale against the pillow, one arm laying on the blanket, the other dangling over the edge of the bed. There was blood all over the blanket that covered him, and more dripping onto the floor, forming a small pool of blood right beside his bed.

She tried not to scream; if she did, she would wake up the other patients; but she couldn't hold it in. She opened her mouth and let out a terrified, horrified, sickened scream that even woke the receptionist, three floor down, and made her come running.

"Now. Since you know what I did, I can never let you get lose! And, to prevent that from happening, I must kill you!" Dallas walked over to a small desk on the far side of the room. He pulled a key out of his pocket and inserted it into the lock on the third out of three drawers. Reaching into the drawer, he pulled out a pistol. Walking back over to Mimi, he stroked its surface before placing his hand on the trigger.

Suddenly, a startling scream raged through the room. "NOOO!" turning slightly, Mimi was surprised to see her friends. The other Digidestined. It was Sora who had screamed, terrified at the prospect that Mimi was about to be shot.

Dallas once again laughed.

I am so sick of that laugh! Mimi thought. It reminds me of Myotismon, for some reason…really annoying!

Dallas turned back to Mimi, and pulled the trigger. The bullet raced through the air towards Mimi.

Mimi stared at the bullet as it raced towards her. She now knew what Tai must have felt like just as he was about to be shot. The bullet seemed to slow down, almost as if in slow motion. I guess I'll soon be able to be with my one honest heart, she thought. She turned slightly towards her friends, and gave them a small, brave smile, just before the bullet hit her.

Sora looked down at her best friend, who lay on the hospital bed. Tai lay in the next room, just as close to death as Mimi was. Just then, Joe walked in. He looked at Mimi, then a saddened expression crossed onto his face as he walked up to her.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "But she's dead." He shook his head sadly.

At that moment, one of the nurses rushed into the room. "Dr. Kido? I'm afraid that Tai Kamiya…he just died!"

Sora let the tears run down her face. Her best friend was gone. Tai was also gone.

They had died at the same time…At least now they were together.

Dallas sat quietly in his jail cell. The news had just come that Mimi and Tai had both died. He smirked. At least it's worth it to be in here, he thought. At least I achieved what I set out to do! Now, all I need to do is set my next plan into action! For Dallas had come up with another plan. A plan to escape. A plan to kill all of Mimi and Tai's friends.

Mimi looked down at the hospital room. Sora sat by her body, crying, as Joe stood next to her, his head hanging down, an expression of extreme sadness on his face. At that moment, a nurse hurried into the room. Mimi had suddenly been floating in the sky, high above everything and everyone. Upon looking down at herself, she could see right through herself. Suddenly, Mimi could feel someone's presence, and she turned around, only to be staring into Tai's eyes. She gave a small smile as he walked towards her. She turned her attention back to the room that she had been looking down into. I've died, she realized numbly. I've died. My body is down there, while my soul is up here. She turned back to Tai. I take it that Tai died, too. She added to her thoughts. Then, something outside the window of the room that she looked down into caught her attention. Someone dressed in black, right down to the hood that covered his head. But, there was no mistaking the eyes that looked out and through the window. No mistaking the evil, evil eyes as he pointed the gun through the window, and aimed it at her two friends who were standing there, not expecting a thing. A horrified look crossed onto her face as her eyes met Tai's.
