A Captive Light, Chapter 12

If more than three people were reading this, I might apologize for taking so long, then laugh at the irony. On account of I'm notoriously slow at updating. never mind

Chapter 12 of A Captive light. It gets it's own special post all to itself. why? BECAUSE IT"S THE CORE! yay! finally!

So...

A Captive Light Chapter 12: History repeats.

My gosh this was a fun one to write. that also probably says a whole host about me, none of it good. I know. The disclaimer for this one was one that I am particularly proud of, and caused some mood whiplash. perfect.

So I started off with a few simultaneous snippets. that was a lot of fun, and not originally planned. I threw it in to kill everyone with the terrible, awful suspense. Hee Hee.

but it worked nicely. then, of course, I killed off a character. sort of. have you ever hit something really hard, and then your hand is sort of numb? that's what happened to Kari. It wasn't that T.K wasn't breathing, do much as she couldn't tell.

This came from my cat. I should explain. My cat, Lucy, is an idiot. Oh, she can pee in a toilet, but she can't find her food in the morning. she's not too bright. She slept on my bed before I moved to middle of nowhere Idaho for school, and snores. And sometimes I'd wake up at 2 or 3 AM, and she'd have stopped snoring. and I'd pet her, and she'd be stone cold and not moving and breathing so shallowly that I'd think she was dead. and I'd shake her. and a few minutes later, she'd purr. darn cat.

Anyway. you can thank my cat for that gut wrenching bit of dramatic flair.

moving on. in addition to being the most fun, this was also one of the hardest to write. Why? because of my writing style.

I have hypo mania. That's a mental disorder like bi-polar. basically, my emotions are way extreme, and uncontrolled. I try to get into character when I write, and I start to feel like whoever is the focus of the story. In this case, Kari. during this chapter and the next, I pretty much sobbed all the way though.

this was not helped by my music, which will be the next post.

So yeah. I cried like a small child as I wrote this. But it's sad. Sad stuff. :'(

This was the core:

Kari, kidnapped by ken, is nearly killed but saved by the heroic sacrifice of a friend-the first version was T.K, then I had it be Tai, but it went back and stayed firmly with T.K. flashback to wizardmon, the digivice glose and Gatomon digivolves. stuff then happens

here is the idea as I wrote it in my story notebook:

Digimon fic- trapped light? captive light? hmm.

ken kidnaps kari. gatomon first? hostage. others come to rescue, in the chaos, Kari attacked. TK dies- heroic sacrifice. Kari HBOD( heroic blue screen of death). remembering wizardmon, Kari's grief allows Gato to DV to Angewomon. Ken runs away. magic happens, T.k not dead, takari fluff. yay.

And with a few adjustments.... that's what happened.

I was very please with the outcome of this chapter, very pleased indeed.

mostly because I liked knowing what was coming next and no one else knowing.
