Meant to put this up yesterday, Sorry! I also just realized I never put a disclaimer on here!
Me: I do not own Code Lyoko, if I did Laura would be taken away by men in black during the middle of the night.
Odd: As much as I agree, this is totally cliche ya know?
Me: Yeah, I know.
Oh Brother
Chapter 2
Finally, it was Theo's free period. The only thing that would have made it any better was if Yumi had one too, but she had History instead. One of the best things about his new school though was that it was right next to a forest, so Theo gladly spent his time exploring. Being alone really helped Theo clear his thoughts. It didn't take long until he came upon an old house covered in vines. Where is the little girl named Madeline? Theo thought to himself, then smirked. His mother used to read that to him when he was younger. Faintly he remembered once telling her, "Mom this is a boring girl's story!"
Later he found his mom crying in her room. After that he never made another comment, and stopped reading it. Of course Theo thought his mom was weird, but who doesn't? His mom did work as a government agent after all, so she different on many other levels too. Cautiously, he stepped into the house of Franz Hopper.
As Aelita walked back towards her room, she noticed someone walking behind her. Sissi. "Hey, Mrs. Einstein, wait up,"
"Yes Sissi?" Aelita asked quietly.
"I know your hiding something Aelita Stones, if that is your real name," Sissi huffed.
"What are you taking about?" Aelita asked, faking bewilderment.
"You said your parents were dead, but your supposed mother is alive and overseas, and your father is no where to be found, anywhere! Theo doesn't even know you, and he is your supposed brother, isn't he?!" Sissi questioned.
"I, um, I don't..." Aelita panicked, but luckily Ulrich walked up behind her. "Something wrong, Sissi?"
"Oh no Ulrich darling I was just talking to Aelita," Sissi smiled sweetly.
"I think I'm going to head to bed now," Aelita said, walking to her room.
Theo wasn't trying to be a snoop, he was just curious is all. An abandoned house full of math, history, science and computer books, it was a perfect library for him. He took another book off the shelves Computers for a Nerd at Heart. He then noticed an inscription in the front cover. Franz, lighten up a little bit, Anthea. Strange, Anthea is his mother's name, and according to his Aunt Gracie, Franz was his father's. Stones was his mother's maiden name, but Theo had no idea what his father's last name was. Since he didn't know anyone on his dad side, he was lost there. Theo did some more looking, trying to find a name or anything. He found a desk, cluttered with papers. On the floor next to it were some papers with the Kadic Academy logo on it.
"Franz Hopper," Theo read aloud. he knew that Hopper was his mom's name before she was adopted, but Hopper is a common name. Upstairs, Theo found a photo album. inside were mostly pictures of a man with brown hair, a little girl with pink hair, and a women that looked like his mom. If it really was his mom, why was she with that man and girl? Three names were written next to the picture. Aelita, Anthea, and Franz.
Theo took his phone out and dialed Odd's number. "Odd, did you ever have a science teacher named Franz Hopper?"
"Uh, no. Mrs. Hertz has taught at Kadic all the years that I have been here, why?" Odd asked, slightly worried.
"I was walking in the woods, and I found this old house. Apparently it belonged to a Franz Hopper," Theo shrugged.
"Oh, I've heard about that house. They say it's haunted, so you better stay away from it, don't wan't to get killed by a ghost," Odd lied.
"Uh huh. See you at lunch," Theo said before hanging up. He took the picture of the three and put it in his pocket.
After Theo hanged up, Odd went sprinting toward the cafeteria, he had to warn the others.
"He knows!" Odd gasped once he flung himself into a chair at their lunch table.
"Odd, what are you talking about?" Yumi asked.
"Theo, he knows about Franz Hopper, he started asking all these question! I know Theo, it won't be long until he figures everything out!" Odd cried.
"Odd, quiet down, everyone can hear you!" Jeremie whispered.
"Sorry," Odd sighed.
"So what do we do then?" Aelita asked.
"We have to stop him from figuring anything else out," Jeremie replied.
"But then what? If he mentions Aelita to anyone I'm actually related to, we are screwed!" Odd whined.
"Why don't we just tell him?" Yumi asked quietly. After seeing everyones shock, she added, "Well, not all of it. Or tell him a convincing lie or something,"
"For now, Odd, distract him. Aelita and I will go see if we can figure something else out. Why don't we check the records we put it for Aelita? Maybe change something if we have to," Jeremie offered.
Aelita nodded. "Sounds like a good idea Jeremie," Aelita and Jeremie walked back to his room.
"You okay Aelita?" Jeremie asked.
"I guess, I am just worried Jeremie, what if someone finds out? What if I am taken away by some government agency and never see you guys again?" Aelita asked fearfully.
"We won't let that happen Aelita, I promise," Jeremie replied. He reached out and opened the door to his room. When Aelita gasped he looked up seeing someone sitting on his bed, holding up some of the papers on her father.
"Tell me everything you know about Franz Hopper, All of it," Theo demanded.
Like so far? This was my best attempt at a cliff hanger. Things are moving pretty fast here, I am not one for fluff. Please tell me what you think!
I try to add chapter 3 as fast as I can, but I could use some encouragement! Please please please Read and Review!
