Revelation
by Orerinia Shaydrin

I wish I could run away from everything, but I can't. Everyone depends on me. I make the decisions. I decide what happens to us. I am the leader.

When I think on it I laugh. Whoever would have thought that I would be the leader of anything. Certainly not me. I don't even really know what made me the leader. Was it because I rushed headlong into things pulling my friends with me. How did I become what I am right now? That's all I want to know.

I wish I hadn't been chosen to be the leader. Every little decision I make could kill one of my friends. I don't want that to happen. It's so scary. If one of them died then I would be the one to blame. Or if the group falls apart. What kind of leader am I then?

A bad one. The group has already fallen apart and I'm left here trying to lead the last four members of our team to a victory against the Dark Masters. I should have tried to keep Matt from going on his quest. I could've presuaded Mimi to stay with us. Shown her what we did was for the better of the Digiworld. But I didn't and now we are spread apart.

Puppetmon's house is before us and TK is begging me to let him come with me. And Sora is objecting to even going on the offensive against the Dark Master, but she won't object to whatever decision I make. Because I'm the leader.

I'm the leader. My friends know that and I have just realized what it means. It means that everyone trusts me. Matt trusted me to look after TK until he gets back. Joe knew that I could take care of the rest of the team. That's why he stayed with Mimi.

As I look at TK and Sora, I know that if I decide TK should stay behind he will and if I decide that we go on to Puppetmon's, Sora will come. For I am the leader and the others will follow, because they trust me. I know now that the others will come back. For just as they trust me. I trust them.

(A/N: I don't know about this fic. I kept writing it at different times when I was in different moods, so to me it seems a little choppy.

I've said this before, but I like people's opinions, so please review, just don't flame me too much, okay?)
