Digimon Rise and Fall Chapter 5: Fear

Tai let out a deep breath. His eyes were closed tightly. Fear and Courage swirled in him like a whirlpool. He knew he needed to relax he had done stuff like this all the time. Not only that but he faced life and death numerous times in the digital world. So why was he scared of something so simple? The plane around him rumbled and it made his stomach turn. Soft footsteps moved towards him but he gave them no heed. A female voice sounded.

“Wow you look like you are about to throw up.”

Tai opened his eyes. A beautiful woman in her 20’s sat in front of him. He gazed at her lovely face with absolutely perfect rack. Perhaps this wouldn’t be so bad after all. He smiled at her slyly.

“Yeah maybe out of boredom. This is taking forever.”

“Well if we do this wrong it would be a bit of a disaster. Is this your first time?”

“Well sort of but I’ve done a bunch of stuff like this before.”

“Really what kind of stuff?”

The woman smiled and played with her hair. Tai smiled back. He knew that she was interested in him. Not that he could blame her. He was good looking, charming and feared nothing. He was the ultimate male and he knew it.

“Well I’ve done wave boarding, base jumping, MMA, rock climbing and a few other stuff.”

“Wow you certainly live an interesting life. Don’t you worry about dieing?”

“Living your life everything everyday doing nothing exciting that is real death. I would rather die young then live and do nothing.”

The woman blushed and smiled more.

“Wow I love to talk about this some more. Maybe after this we can head out for a drink.”

“Sure thing.”

“I’m Kayla by the way.”

“I’m Tai.”

A man walked into the room.

“It’s time get ready now.”

Tai and Kayla nodded. Tai threw on his parachute and moved to the exit. The man began giving orders.

“Ok we are at 20’000 feet right now. You are going to be falling at over 200 feet per second. You must pull your chute at 1000 feet or you’re toast. We will signal you when the time comes everyone listen up and do what we say. Does everyone understand?”

Everyone nodded. The man walked away and they opened the doors to the plane. Rushing winds over shadowed all of the noise in the room. Tai could feel the beating of his heart in his chest. Everything of his being wanted to stop. His legs didn’t want to move. He looked at Kayla and she smiled back at him and blew him a kiss. Tai smiled and felt feeling come back to his body. He let out a loud breath and jumped from the plane.

Time began to slow down around him. Tai at first wondered if he had jumped at all. Tai turned his head and saw the plane in the background.
