Chasing Cars [Koko]

[Hailey Pershing]

This life isn't good enough; how many
hundreds of years have I lived until now?
But no matter what, I can try again
with the Life Reset Button.

Blackout was worried. A soft whine left the BlackGuilmon's maw as the dragonoid paced around the base of the tree, head craned back to make out the paleness of the girl's legs where they dangled from the tree branch that was her perch. She was worrying him, and ordinarily, he wouldn't think anything out of running to scramble up a tree himself, but well... there was a hitch this time. None of the branches were low enough on this particular tree for him to be able to jump up and climb it, and the one that was would require him to take his eyes off her form while he scrambled up the limbs and then jumped over into her tree. He had met her on a bridge about to jump... he didn't want his last meeting with her to be with her up in a tree and actually going through with that fall. If she was actually going to push herself off of the tree branch, he had every intention of jumping up as high as he could to catch her, and that meant that he'd have to pace around at the foot, his eyes glued to her no matter how much his purpose made him want to let out a sorrowful roar and dig his claws into the tree in the hopes of being able to haul himself up there that way.

Hailey didn't know what she was supposed to do. She felt so lost here, isolated... which was exactly what she had come here for, she supposed. After all, if no one knew her, then it wouldn't be so bad if she just... disappeared. No one would realize she was gone, and no one would miss her either. Her left hand was clenched into a fist, making the veins bulge outwards, and a trail of blood traced down her arm to drip down to the branches below. For a moment, she glanced down, ignoring the black figure as she attempted to judge this distance to the forest floor. Would it be enough to end her life? ... Somehow, she doubted it, even if the BlackGuilmon hadn't been at the foot of the tree. It just wasn't quite high enough, though it would certainly leave her with some harsh injuries. She sighed quietly, resting her right elbow on her thigh so that she could lean over and pillow her chin on her palm. She wanted to push herself off of the tree... but she didn't want to fall if it wouldn't end things.

I don't even know what's up with her. I think it's just a bit of the depression rearing up.

THE WORDS

you wove are we are not alone

Koko had decided, to take a walk through the forest. Get some air in her, and of course, she took her companion with her. Humming softly, the girl's brown hair bounced, her body shifting this way and that, as she made sure to keep a line of sight. After all, her Digimon was a bit scared of course, since there had been a lot of rumours about this forest. Koko herself didn't know much, but hey, she transferred back not too long ago. The girl was humming a small tune she had heard, feeling relatively happy about life. Her partner, a Bearmon now, was worried, but she was completely okay. After all, the bear was cute, she could hug it, and it was fluffy, and well.. it would protect her!

The blue eyed girl noticed that the forest was abnormally quiet for a forest, and found herself frowning a little bit. Were there even animals here? That was a bit worrisome, as she stumbled upon a more open area. And in that area, there was another digimon under a tree. Of course, her companion wanted to attack, but the girl was already bouncing towards it, smiling. It couldn't be mean! It looked fretful, as she looked up at the tree, and she saw a pretty leg. For a moment, her eyes widened, and something flashed in her mind. Bones. Blood. Sinew. Flesh. Meat. Red. Shaking her head, she raised up her hand, and a grin flashed onto her face. ''Yahello!'' she called out.

The girl stopped right near the Digimon, and looked up at the figure in the tree. ''Hey, is it fun up there? I mean, it won't be nice if you fall, but I bet you have a great view don't you?'' she said cheerfully, happily. The girl seemed to be perfectly unaware of the girl's penchant to end her life, or even take the fact she was that high up in a tree disturbing. Her body shifted, as she looked at the branches, and stretched her hand out, trying to grab one. ''Hmm. hmm'' she let out sounds of effort. But she just.. couldn't reach it unfortunately. Well actually that was a lie; with a hop, she managed to snag a branch, and dangling, she fell off it right onto her behind.

''Kyaah. Darn it! I was never good at climbing things!'' she exclaimed outloud, and then giggled happily, before getting back up. ''Oh right, I'm silly! My name's Koko, and you are?'' she asked of the female, up in the tree. The girl was speaking loud enough for her voice to carry up there right? Her Bearmon seemed almost uncomfortable, watching the other digimon with a piercing gaze, protective of his master. But the girl was just so bubbly, she didn't mind, she kind of wanted to hug the other digimon. But she held back, feeling a bit shy, as her cheeks were slightly dusted red, blushing from how she made a fool of herself for one, and how she was just being so bold for another.

Thankfully, she couldn't see red anywhere anymore.

Blackout's whole body jolted in surprise at the sound of another voice, one that wasn't his Tamer finally speaking, and the Digimon wheeled about, already bristling up, for what purpose he didn't know, and then he relaxed slightly at the sight. It was just a girl and another Digimon, no threat there. His tail wavered behind him as he hurriedly turned his gaze back towards the girl in the tree, almost as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he took his eyes from her silhouette.

Hailey, on the other hand, sat up slightly when she heard another voice, one she didn't recognize. After the other spoke to Blackout, however, she sighed softly, deciding to take pity on her. Clearing her throat she managed, in her Boston accent, to state in English, "Blackout won't talk to you, you know. He's too busy worrying about me to bother with splitting his attention." She shifted slightly on the branch, the movement revealing to her a Bearmon in the background, something she was rather leery of, even if she'd never admit it. No need for Blackout to get hurt if they could both avoid it. She watched slightly impassively as the other girl jumped up, trying to grab the branch, only to fall right back down again.

Wasn't that a metaphor for life? The young poet could see it, and vaguely, a poem began to blossom before she shook her head and dismissed it again for fantasy, something not worth writing while she was here. Crossing one thigh over the other, she was quiet for a long time, a moment prolonged enough to worry the BlackGuilmon at the foot of the tree, before she spoke again. "Hailey."

Blackout could finally bear it no longer, and he let out a whine and pushed up onto his toes. "Please, go up there and get her," he murmured in Japanese, deciding that the other language was more likely to be understood, and even if Hailey spoke English and extremely fractured Japanese, he managed to understand both fluently enough to serve as a translator. "I'm worried about her... It's a long drop... Please..." He didn't pause to lament that he couldn't do his usual play at being dumb to make himself less of a threat, merely went on begging, desperate to save his Tamer's life. He didn't want Hailey to go yet, and if keeping her here meant that he'd have to beg, he'd do it, just to keep her safe and alive.

THE WORDS

you wove are we are not alone

Koko tilted her head this way and that, before she raised an eyebrow. So she had heard the girl about her Digimon, and at that, her lovely Bearmon relaxed, as she danced from foot, to foot. She was curious as to why the digimon was worried, as the brown haired girl kept trying to avoid the pretty leg, but knew that she would have to look at the girl eventually. Of course, she had already shown her attempts at climbing, and she let out a huff, still a bit angry about how she couldn't make it up there! But Koko liked the other girl's voice, it was nice, and when it spoke in english, it was kind of cute too. The girl herself had spoken out in english probably, she didn't remember.

But the digimon surprised her; he asked her, in japanese even, to go up the tree and help the other girl. Of course, Koko had a name; Hailey. It was a pretty name, and the girl seemed confused as to why the digimon was so concerned. ''Hmm.. I can't climb...'' she said softly, but then shook her head. Something in the digimon's tone; that begging tone of voice, touched her. It was the kind of voice that people would almost never hear unless it was something really life-threatening and dangerous, and Koko respected that notion. And it also reminded her of another time, with a similar voice. 'Don't go! You said you'd never leave me remember! Please, someone, anyone, save her, please I can't be alone!'

For a moment, Koko saw red and she stumbled, the first visible sign that she was unwell. But within a moment, she was up and smiling again, as her body jumped up again, trying to catch a branch. Except this time, it looked a little more desperate then it should have. ''Hey.. you're not going to jump off right?'' she asked innocently, staring up at the pretty leg, and the girl that was up there now, eyes filled with conflicting emotions. She couldn't figure out exactly what she was feeling, but she could sort of understand the digimon's fretting at this point. She didn't want this pretty leg to end up broken like that, she wanted to see it walk and dance and all that good sort of stuff.

So Koko felt an uneasiness in her heart. And then she felt the will, the will to stand beside this person if they did try or if they really wanted to fall, and she would be there. She wanted to be a cushion, and help this person. It was the smallest thing she could do to repent for her sin right? Her fingers curled underneath her, hidden from view by almost all except the digimon near her. She wouldn't let this girl commit the same mistake, as she gritted her teeth, and then breathed out. She had to remain calm, or it wouldn't work. The girl felt her body relax, bit by bit, but still kept her mind sharp. She would use whatever she could, to help this person.

That was already decided from the start!
