Author's Note:

On this website when it comes to Code Lyoko, there's always some type of pattern; not everyone- well almost no one in fact - writes horror stories. So, I decided to take on the challenge in making a horror story.

Hopefully this goes well. I've done some editing.

The story is, what I think of, as another Episode 40: Attack of Zombies. I know, it's a little cheezy, but whatever.

A little tip: it is best for the readers of this story to imagine the scenes as best as possible. If not...well...it won't be horror. XD

On with the Story!

Jeremie's Dorm, 8:14pm

"I guess I'll go too." Yumi said, raising her right hand slightly and sighing. "But this might be the last time my parents will let it slide."

"Okay, so Yumi and Odd, tonight you'll visit the Hermitage to gain a little intel on Franz Hopper." Jeremie stated, completely ignoring her personal life without noticing.

He pulled up a small image of what looked like a map and continued.

"Now, I'm not asking for a full, written out prompt, what I need is books or pictures about Aelita and Franz. I'll even let you guys explore a little bit more in case of any sort of subject reguarding the factory."

Odd nodded. "And I suggest that we don't split up; that house has a weird feeling, as if we weren't supposed to go there. Remeber when XANA trapped Yumi and Ulrich were locked inside a room? Alone? It got hotter and hotter by the second?" He chuckled a little.

"Oh, shut up." Ulrich cut off. "It won't be like that- and besides; Jeremie will call you in case XANA attacks, so there's nothing to worry about." Everyone knew at that moment that he was blushing, even though there wasn't enough light to see the sudden wave of red on his cheeks.

"Yeah, I guess." Odd scratched his head as he mentioned it. "I think that someone should get a good cover up story, if G-I-Jim shows up." He glanced at Aelita, then at Jeremie. It was Aelita who piped up next.

"You guys should have a flashlight."

"Not to worry." Odd took out his phone, tapping on an icon, as the phone spurted out a bright light. "My phone already has a built in flashlight."

"Technology these days..." Jeremie muttered, as he went back to typing on his computer.

"Oh, shut up Jeremie." Odd teased and was resulted by the genius giving a sigh of annoyance.

"Let me just get my notebook, so that I can write down some things." Yumi assured, fishing it out of her backpack. "Want to leave now, Odd?"

"Sure Yumi." They opened the door (for the door squeaked a little because they didn't want to attract Jim) and sneaked their way out of Kadic.

"I'm honestly worried." Jeremie said, as he closed the door. "I think Odd had a point when he said there was a weird feeling at that house. It gives me chills just thinking about it!"

"I'm sure that they'll be perfectly fine." Said Aelita. "They'll find some books and papers, explore the Hermitage, and everything will go into plan. Trust me." She smiled a little, opening the door to the hallway. "Just check your computer from time to time. Check your phone too."

"You got it, Aelita." Jeremie replied, as she exited the room as well to hers.

"I guess I'll go too." Ulrich said. "I need to come up with a good excuse in case Jim shows up, and I have to stuff things in his bed to make it look like he's there." He smirked. "Wake me up if anything happens that's serious." He walked out of the room. Jeremie instantly rolled his shoulders.

"Might as well work on the anti-virus while I wait-" He shook his head. "No, I need to pull up a tracking system for Yumi and Odd." Jeremie furiously typed. After a few seconds, he smiled, looking at the map of Kadic Academy as two red dots appeared on the screen.

"Done and done." He said, minimizing the window and continued on the anti-virus.

Forest of Kadic Academy, 8:47pm

"I swear, these little bugs around me hate me." Yumi commented, rubbing her leg, bitten by mosquitos. "I should've gotten bug spray too."

"Do you even have bug spray?" Odd said.

"Yeah, at home.." She darted her eyes to the left. "Well, I just hate bugs, okay?"

"Then why'd you come here? There's going to be cockaroaches and moths and-"

"Odd!" She shouted.

"What?!" He said, mocking her. "Okay, fine; I'm sorry. I should't have said that."

Yumi sighed. "I'm sorry too, but you're forgiven." They both followed the concrete path that led to the Hermitage, as Odd turned on his flashlight to get a better view of the path. Owls faintly covered the sky with sounds, the thick, dark green trees covered with webs as the two got closer and closer. Odd stopped for a second, gasping.

"What is it now, Odd?"

"Well, my phone's about to die, it's at four percent..." He looked frustrated. "I forgot to charge it overnight." Odd smacked his head in frustration.

"Are you serious?" Yumi asked him.

"Well, don't you have a flashlight in your phone?" He countered, seeing the mossy gates of their destination.

"No, but I have phone light.." She took out her phone, showing him proof.

"Well, if...or when my phone dies, we'll have to use yours." Yumi nodded, walking towards the house. She opened the doors, both seeing the piles of dust swift around the floor.

"Let's get this over with."

(FIN)

I know that this is short, but I really need the readers' help in this story. Tell me if there's anything I should do to make this more horror like. Tell me if there's something I'm missing. ANYTHING will help me. :D

I hope this first chapter showed signs of fear, and hopefully you've tried to imagine this in your head. I tried to go for the atmospheric part of a story

If you didn't imagine this story in your head, READ IT AGAIN! XD

That's all for now so...

Peace, my peoples~
