(Chap 4: Saved by a kiss)
"So you gonna tell her?" Ulrich asked as the lift started towards the computer room.
"I don't know… what if she doesn't like me in that way?" Odd replied.
"What do you mean?" Aelita raised an eyebrow.
"What if she doesn't like me in the same way? I won't say it to her, but I lover her too much, I couldn't bare it if she said no. and when girls have no feelings for a boy who likes them, they avoid them. I'd rather just be her friend than loose her."
Tears started shining in Odd's eyes, when they heard a loud alarm and Jeremie's worried voice yelling "Summer!"
They burst through the door, Odd's face was covered with worry. "What's wrong?"
"It's Summer! She's trapped! I've lost contact with her. X.A.N.A sent me a message. He says that one of you will have to go, but one only. If you want to attempt to save her, you'll have to let him read your mind, then he'll make a challenge based on what he's found. If you win, he may just let her go, but if you loose he'll torture her until he gets what he wants. And he'll also keep whoever " Jeremie clenched his fist.
"I'll go." Odd walked back into the lift.
"But once your there, I will be able to see you, but you won't be able to hear or see me." Jeremie warned.
"Odd, let one of us go. If your feelings are so muddled up then who knows what-"
"No." Odd interrupted. "I have to save her. I may not have the strength to tell her how I feel, but I'm not a coward. I would rather spend eternity in X.A.N.A's grasp than let her die by his hand. I have to try." and with that, Odd ran into a scanner.
He found himself is some strange world. There was darkness everywhere. Cutting through the darkness was a mirror, but the image was the opposite to where he was. The other place was white. Standing on the other side was Summer, but she was in white, not black. Her ears and tail where white too. He ran towards her, not noticing the other Summer, dressed in black, leaning against the mirror, limp and dead. Even though she was sat, leaning against it slightly, Odd passed through the mirror easily, the mirror turning into a window.
Summer in white turned to Odd, a bright smile on her face. She floated over to him happily. "Hi Odd. I've missed you." she smiled sweetly.
"I missed you too… Do you know what I have to do?"
"I know that you don't like me like this Odd, but all you have to do is kiss me."
"But you're different." He turned to the girl in black. "There you are."
"If you kiss me, I will become her. She is my dead shell. This is the real me. Kiss me Odd. I know you want to." She said, flirting with him.
"But you don't look like yourself."
"I'm still me. I'm the better side of me. You can't say that you don't love me better, I know you do." She battered her eyes, moving in to kiss him.
"If you kiss her, I will be lost. Kiss the wrong girl, you loose the right one. The one you kiss will take me over." The girl in black seemed dead, besides her mouth which was moving. Her eyes had lost there spark. Her body was limp. This wasn't the Summer he had come to know.
"That's right Odd. Come to me." the girl in white spoke. Loud music began to play and it sounded like the seemingly dead Summer was singing, but her lips where unmoving. Her voice was perfect.
"You know your not the only one
When they all come crashing down, mid-flight,
You know you're not the only one.
When they're so alone they find a back door out of life.
You know you're not the only one. We're all grieving,
Lost and bleeding. All our lives,
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader.
All there lies,
I'm not believing.
Heaven shine a light down on me.So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized.
You know you're not the only one
Never understood this life.
And you're right, I don't deserve
But you know I'm not the only one. We're all grieving,
Lost and bleeding. All our lives,
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader.
All there lies,
I'm not believing.
Heaven shine a light down on me. Don't look down,
Don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you.
Don't look down, you'll fall down,
You'll become their sacrifice. Right or wrong.
Can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you.
If I can't feel, I'm not mine,
I'm not real. All our lives,
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader.
All your lies,
I'm not believing,
Heaven shine a light down on me."
For some reason Odd was shaken out of his daze by the song and realised that she had used her looks to hypnotise him. He ran to the real Summer, holding her in his arms. Her eyes, lips, her entire face seemed to come back to life, but her body was still limp.
"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice was weak.
"Saving you."
"But you like her better, I can tell. I can see it in your eyes… why?"
"Because she's not the Summer I know." He smiled. He held her closer to him, moving in and kissing her. Summer's body tensed as he turned it into a deep passionate, kiss.
Odd suddenly found himself standing in the scanner. He walked out just in time to catch Summer as she fell out of her scanner, unable to stand. "You ok?" he asked. She nodded weakly, smiling, before falling asleep.
He had heard her screams before he had arrived to rescue her. Who knows what pain she went through when she was trapped with X.A.N.A. No wonder she was so tired.
That song I used was The Only One by Evanescence, you'll have to listen to it to understand the mood there was supposed to be at the time, so if you haven't heard it, plz listen to it on you tube or something. Hope you liked it. Plz review. Look out for the next chapter!
