Same Person, New Name

Ulrich's POV

CRASH!

I stay hidden behind the couch, not making a sound. CRASH! I just wanted it all to stop. I wanted my friends again. I missed the way we use to joke around, pull pranks on the teacher, and…Lyoko. I heard someone come next to me and I almost screamed, but stopped at the site of my mom.

"Ulrich, you have to leave" she whispered

"What?" I said not understanding

"Go, go back to Kadiac, to your friends, and start over again"

"But-"She pulled me into a hug

"Shh…" she whispered "Go, but you can't go as Ulrich Stern my son, you need an identity so your uncle won't find you"

I nodded "What do I go as"

"I want you to go as Blaise Ferno, that was your dad's nickname in college and Ferno is my maiden name. We love you my son, now go on my signal, and don't look back"

I took a deep breath and slowly nodded with tears flowing down my cheeks. She brought up her hand and wiped the tears away with her thumb.

"Don't cry my son. Stay strong for me and your father"

I nodded again, trying to hold back my tears. She smiled softly and kissed my forehead. She turned and crawled out from behind the couch. I waited for a few minutes.

"Ulrich, Run!" My mom shouted

I quickly jumped over the couch and headed for the front door. I felt a hand grab my ankle and I fell down in the entryway.

"Let go of my son!"

I felt the hand let go and I quickly stood up and ran to the door. I opened it and looked back. I saw my dad holding my uncle down with all the strength he could. My father looked up and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Don't look back my son. I love you. Go!" He said

I hesitantly looked away and ran out the door. By the time I reached the road, I heard a scream. That was dad's scream. I had tears in my eyes, but I remembered something.

"Don't cry my son. Stay strong for me and your father"

Stay strong. I blinked back the tears and held a determined look. I started walking toward the one place I can escape to. Kadiac Academy.


So what do you think so? Short, I know, but the next chapter is going to be longer!
