The World She Lives In
Hey guys I'm back! So here is how it's going to go. I'll try to update every day during the week, but I'll be taking weekends off. Now I give you chapter 4 of The World She Lives In, New Life.
….
It was morning until anyone found me in the closet, it was Odd. He tried to lighten the mood by telling jokes. It was a good attempt and did make me smile.
"See not everything is bad, now you get to listen to my jokes all the time." He said with a goofy smile.
"Fantastic." I said sarcastically. We then started walking in the direction of what I was guessing would be my new room. When we got there Odd inserted a sort of key card into a slot near the door. It was a pretty simple room. The walls were a pale pink and there was a bed next to a dresser. In the corner of the room was a desk with a good quality laptop on it.
"Here is your room uh…" He said trying to remember my name.
"Annett." I said walking in without another word. I took another look at the room and sat on the bed. After a few seconds Odd pulled a key card out of his pocket and placed it on the desk next to the laptop. I walked to the laptop and opened it. I decided that it might do me good to keep a journal. After a few minutes of looking I managed to find the webcam.
Dairy of Annett, Belpois
This has been the craziest days of my life. First off I'm just eating lunch and then my school gets attacked by the lyoko warriors. Then as I'm trying to get inside the building I was caught by one of the lyoko warriors and they left taking me with them! Once we arrived at their base I met a few other girls, they were from other XANA schools around the world. We came up with a plan that gave me the chance to contact XANA. But then I was caught by them again and woke up restrained. Then XANA started an attack on the base and got the other girls out. I wasn't able to leave because I'd accidentally given out important information. Then to add more confusion I find out that most everything I know is a lie. Starting out it turns out I'm the daughter of Jeremy and Aelita Belpois. Then my best friend Julie turns out to not only be my aunt, but is on the side of the resistance. Having no other choice I'm forced to stay here in America.
(End recording)
Since that was done I began to wonder what would happen to me now. Not only am I in the lyoko warrior base, but I'm now in danger from XANA. The reason is because if you're not getting rescued than XANA sends the scyphozoa after you so as not to let information end up in the lyoko warriors hands.
My stomach growled and it made me realize that I hadn't eaten anything in almost two days. I grabbed the key card and started making my way through the base. I tried finding the café and had no luck. Finally I spotted Ulrich.
"Hey Ulrich where can you get food around here?" I asked.
"The café is down that hall then take a right and then you'll be there." He said pointing to the hall.
"Um… thanks." I said still finding it weird.
When I got there I found that it was very crowded. There were people sitting in groups at the many tables in the room. The room itself was pretty large. It had a sort of metallic walls and floor. On one side of the room was where you get your food and on the other were a series of large windows. I went to the line to get my food. After getting it I headed to an empty table in one of the corners. I looked and saw a group of kids that looked to be my age. I decided that it would just be better to stay here.
'Just like at school.' I thought to myself.
…
It was around 5 before someone came up to me asking who I was. It was a boy about my age. He had chocolate brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans. On the sleeve of the shirt was the symbol for the resistance, an upside down eye of XANA.
"You look new here what's your name?" He asked me.
"Annett and yes I am new. What's your name?" I asked him.
"I'm Zach, Zach Stern. So how long have you been here?" He said sitting down next to me on one of the benches outside.
"I got here yesterday. You?" I replied.
"About a year ago I think. I was at one of the XANA schools in Germany. Judging by your hair I'm guessing that you're Belpois' kid." He said.
"Yea so what exactly do you do here all day?" I asked curious.
"Well we get an actual education, reading math, that sort of thing. Then we get lunch, and finally, if you're in it you get combat training. Do you know how to use any kind of weapon?" He asked.
"Well sort of if you count the powers I have in my lyoko form." I answered.
"Since this is Earth I don't think that will come in much handy." He said.
"It dose if you're able to make your form appear on earth. Since I went to lyoko on a normal basis I'm able to access my lyoko form on earth." I responded.
"Wow that's pretty cool!" He said. "Well I'd love to keep talking but I have combat training in 10 minutes, bye!" He called leaving.
"Bye." I said softly after him. I waited a few minutes before heading back to my room. When I got there I saw Julie sitting on the bed.
"Hey Annett how's it going?" She asked.
"Ok I guess, but I think I just made a new friend." I said leaning on the closed door.
"Oh that's great who?" She said.
"A boy named Zach. He seems really nice so far he's the only person other than you guys to talk to me since I got here. So what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well I need to measure you to get the size for your new clothes." She said.
"Oh um… ok." I said and she got started.
…
After about 30 minutes she got the sizes for everything I'd need here. With the technology here I was able to have my new wardrobe in only an hour.
My school/every day wear was a pink shirt with the upside down eye of XANA on it and a white skirt, it also included a pair of white knee socks and black converse shoes. I had a formal dress too, it was a simple blue dress that went down to about the floor plus a pair of blue ballet flats. I even had separate clothes for gym which were a simple pink T-shirt and sweats. There were also some pajamas. Apparently aquatics were part of the schedule because I also got a black one piece swimsuit with a pair of goggles.
"Is all this really necessary?" I asked.
"Well yea unlike at the other place we try to give you guys a somewhat normal childhood. So you'll need these clothes. Now come on its time for dinner." She said guiding me out the door.
….
After dinner every one started heading off to their own rooms. I saw Zach again and he waved to me before turning down the hall to his room. I got to my room and began to get ready for bed. I walked over to my bed and found a package there. Inside was my schedule.
6:30 wake up
7:00 breakfast
7:45-12-45 school
12:45-1:15 lunch
1:15-2:30 swimming
2:30-3:15 rest period (during this time you are to report to the super computer room, first day only.)
3:15-5:00 combat training.
5:00-6:45 dinner
6:45-10:00 recreation
10:30 lights out
This seemed to be a fairly simple schedule to fallow. Also in the package was a map of the base, student handbook, and a key card that gave me access to most of the base. There was also a little box under all the papers. Inside the box was a gold chained locket. It was shaped like a heart and contained two pictures on of my mom and dad and the other of my mom holding me after I was born. Aelita look so happy to have me. I wonder what it was like knowing that your daughter was in the hands of the enemy. There was also a little card in the box.
Dear Annett
I know that you think that we are the bad ones but I hope we can change your mind and somewhat become a normal family. I'm so sorry that we didn't try sooner to get you out, we were afraid that if we tried sooner that you might have gotten hurt. If you ever feel scared than just open the locket and remember that you are surrounded by people that love you.
Love,
Mom and Dad
I put the note on my dresser and put the necklace around my neck and lied down and fell asleep thinking that maybe this won't be so bad.
…
So how was that? I know that it was not action packed but I wanted this to be more of a transitory chapter. Remember review.
