Fate's Roller Coaster

Chapter 1: New Day, New Life

The sun raised over Kadic Academy. Each of it's students sat up groggily as the sun shone through their windows and into their rooms onto their faces.

Odd lazily climbed out of his bed and walked over to Ulrich.

"Ulrich wake up!" He shook his rigorously. Ulrich's eyes shot opened. He sat up and removed his ear plugs.

"What!"

"It's time to get Aelita and Yumi!"

Ulrich smiled.

"And it's a Saturday Ulrich, so we don't just have to stop in to get them up, we can actually talk to them because we don't have classes today!"

"And just to think Odd, a few months ago Yumi had just moved into her dorm. Ulrich sighed.

"Come on Ulrich!" Odd covered himself with a long purple fleece robe while Ulrich covered himself in a blue one. They walked down the hallways turning left and right through the maze that was Kadic Academy.

"Here we are room 203! The girl's dorm"

His hand grabbed onto the handle.

"No Odd!"

He snatched it off.

"Hey what was that for huh!"

Ulrich pushed Odd out of the way and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Ulrich and Odd, are you decent?"

The door opened revealing Aelita.

"Hello Ulrich...Odd, Jeremy with you?"

She blushed.

"Nope he's in the cafeteria"

"Ulrich thanks for asking"

"Your welcome it's something a gentlemen would do"

Ulrich looked around the room.

"Where's Yumi?"

"I'm not sure, she was gone when I woke up"

Ulrich's stomach did a somersault in nervousness and his muscles tightened. Odd noticed this quickly, he put a friendly hand on his shoulder.

"Ulrich relax, she's fine"

Ulrich snarled. "I'm going out, I'll see you later"

He left out in a huff.

"Is he always like this Odd?"

"No Aelita...just when Yumi is involved"

Aelita chuckled.

"Do you think he likes her?"

"I don't think Aelita I know"

She chuckled again and followed Odd out the door.

"So do you like it here?" A male voice asked.

"It's alright" Yumi replied

Yumi stood up.

"I should go, my friends are probably worried sick about me"

His head shot around.

"No!...I'm mean I'm sure your friends are okay, stay here with me"

"I'm sorry, but I have to go, Ulrich's probably really worried about me"

"Do you love him?"

"I don't really know"

"Well then, we'll make a deal, you go out with me and I wont beat your darling Ulrich into a pulp"

Her eyes watered.

"You wouldn't do that to him? Would you?"

He nodded. She

She stared at the ground. She looked up and nodded staring into his cold eyes.

"Good girl, and so you know that you belong to me and no one else"

He flipped out a knife and pulled down her sleeve. He dragged the knife along her skin. Blood rose and poured across her skin and the blade.

He stopped finishing his mark. Bringing the blade to his mouth he licked the fresh blood.

"Thanks doll, I'll see you around" He flipped in down and stuck it into his pocket.

"Catch you later"

She stared down at the mark that was carved into her now blood soaked skin. He left a large W.
