Prologue
It is a cold rainy night at Kadic Junior High School. No noise can be heard throughout the campus. When you enter the school, you see blue dorms down the hall. You walk past couple of the dorms, and stop at one and pull out your key. As you open your door, you hear a horrible scream coming from upstairs. You ignore it and enter your room.
In your room you see a map of Lyoko on your computer screen. On the wall there is a picture of Albert Einstein. As you are getting ready for bed, you hear the scream again, and this time it sounds like Aelita. As you hear her scream, it sounds like a knife is going through your heart. You quickly get your flashlight and go out the door. There is a little bit of light down the hall, for you can see where you are going.
As you walk down the hall, you see an immense library at your present. You keep walking until you hear a creaking noise behind you. It sounds like footsteps. You go back quietly to see who it is. When you turn your head, you see a person in the middle of the hallway. You quickly turn around and run back upstairs, but you trip over the fifth step.
As you fall, your flashlight slips through your hands and lands at the seventh step. Your hands go up to your face to brace for impact. There is a sudden thud as you hit the step. The next thing you know, you hear footsteps and whoever it is, is running toward the sound. You get up and grab your flashlight and run upstairs.
You reach the top of the stairs, and see dorms from below but this time they are pink. You pass almost all the dorms until you reach the second to last door. You grab the handle on the door and open it. As you stride inside you hear the footsteps again you, quickly push yourself in the door and shut it. You didn't move a muscle, praying that the footsteps will go by. The sounds of the footsteps came closer and then it pass. You breathe sigh of relief. Then suddenly from behind you comes, a thrashing sound.
As you turn around, you see a girl who is thrashing in her bed. You step toward her and see by the look on her face that she is having a nightmare. Yours hands go to her shoulder and shake her a little to wake her up. As you shake her, you see her eyes open and look at you. The girl screams a little and starts kicking her feet at you.
"Shh, it's okay, Aelita, it's me. It's okay. I'm not here to hurt you," you say to her.
Aelita stops kicking and looks at you, then says, "Jeremie, what are you doing here?" she asks you.
"I came here to see why you are screaming for and having a fit," you say to her.
"Oh, I woke you up," says Aelita, now embarrassed, "Sorry she says softly.
"It's okay. I wasn't even sleeping yet. I was getting ready. Now tell me, why are you having a fit? Are you having a nightmare?"
Aelita says nothing but looks away. On her cheeks, you see that she is blushing.
"No, I don't want to burden you with my nightmares. You need the sleep," says Aelita.
You sit down by Aelita and take her hands and softly tell her, "Aelita, you know that you can talk to me if you have a problem. Please, Aelita, tell me why you are having this nightmare."
Aelita turns her head and looks at your glasses, past them so she can see your blue eyes. Your eyes meet hers, then she quickly turns her head, and on her cheeks again you see that she is blushing all over her face. Then you hear a sigh. Aelita turn her head toward you.
"It's my family that are in my dreams," says Aelita with a sad look on her face." I can't stop having these dreams about them. I don't even know my mom's name or what she died from. My father is now trap in the Internet and I can't talk to him, because we don't know a specific area where he is. We can't make contact with him because of Xana attacks almost every day.
"It's okay Aelita we will find your father and stop Xana once and for all," you say to her. "I promise Xana won't hurt you or your father, and when we find your father, we will free him and you and him can live like a family together."
"I know we will, but we can't enter Lyoko any more," says Aelita. "Xana destroyed Lyoko, and he still has William under his power. We don't know where he will attack next or when. Plus we need a way to enter the Internet to fight Xana and to find my father and free him. How can we win if we can't even fight Xana any more, unless you find a way into the Internet?
"I will find a way to enter the Internet, I promise, and you can't give up hope on your father. He's out there finding a way to contact us, and you know he is. When we are in the Internet, Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich will help you fight Xana. They have never given up on fighting after all this time, and neither will I, "you say to her with a voice full of confidence.
"Thank you, Jeremie, "says Aelita with a tired, voice, "and Jeremie, can I ask you something?"
"Yes Aelita, what do you want to ask me?" you ask in a tired voice
"Do you ever regret ever finding me," says Aelita now falling asleep.
"No I don't regret finding you, and I never will," you say to her with a yawn.
You fall asleep with Aelita on your chest. In your room your computer turns on with an eye symbol on it. On the screen comes a shadow figure with the eye symbol on its head. The figures go through the screen and just disappear from sight.
