Yay, another update. Sorry for this chapter, also short and also a bit of a filler, but I guess it was needed. This chapter is dedicated to have-a-cookie, because she was what inspired me to write this chapter so quickly (quickly for me, anyway.) Mainly because, apart from giving me a long-ish review, she also favourited me and put me on author alert. You know how good it feels to have somebody do that? It's also semi-dedicated to AussieUlrich. I glad I could help, and thanks for the rather long private messege back :)

Also, I just realized how high 3 stories actually is. I mean I knew how high it was, but I didn't realize how far Ulrich had to climb then. No wonder he was tired and dizzy! Ok, I'll shut up now. I think i'm writing this just to make the chapter seem longer. lawlz.

Disclaimer: blah blah blah.. I don't own anything 'cept the story line and any OC's in this story.

Ulrich P.O.V

I tightened my grip on the ledge. It was almost impossible not to look down. I didn't even try to pull myself up, knowing I'd probably slip. Even thought the wolves were gone, it didn't mean I was out of danger. I was hanging 3 stories off the ground. Oh, I was safe alright.

Yumi, why'd you do this to me? I felt tears prick my eyes. I wouldn't cry. It wouldn't help anything. I had other things I needed to concentrate on.

"Ulrich?"

I looked up. I felt like jumping for joy, except it was hard to jump when you're hanging off a cliff, and to be honest, there wasn't much to be joyful about.

"Ulrich, hang on!"

The girl jumped down a few ledges, before stopping at the ledge before mine. "Ulrich, grab my hand."

I did as I was told, and she slowly pulled me up. I was about to climb onto the ledge she was sitting on, but she stopped me.

"Don't. Let me climb up a bit first. It doesn't look like these things could hold much weight anyway."

I nodded. That's for sure. Can't hold a wolf, anyway.

I watched her climb a bit, before I followed her. "Thanks Sam. But, how did you know I was here?"

"I didn't."

I climbed over the edge and collapsed, whether it was from exhaustion or just how happy I was to be on land again, I don't know. I wanted to just fall asleep, but I knew I needed to ask Sam a few things.

"Sam, why aren't you at school? How did you get here?"

"I asked a few teachers where the camp was, and walked, took a few buses, you know. I needed to ask you a few things."

"You came all the way here, just to ask me a few things?"

"Yeah, but they're important."

"Ok, well, ask."

"Ok." She took a deep breath. "Ulrich, what's with the whole Lyolo, uh, Lyoko, thing."

I felt my eyes widen as I looked at her. "What, what do you mean."

"You know what I mean, Ulrich! Odd told me all about it, but I didn't believe him. Then he-" Sam went quiet suddenly. She looked at me.

"I didn't believe any of it, but I think that Zana or whatever got Odd."

"What?"

"I don't know, but he was pulled into some dark vortex. It was really scary, and I couldn't save him! We need to help Odd!"

Odd P.O.V

I sat on the ground and sighed. I had walked around for over an hour, but I couldn't find the tower. I couldn't see any towers at all!

"This is stupid!" I spat. It was probably a dream or something. But if this was the dream, than what happened to Aelita was real.

Aelita…

But what about Sam, she'd probably tell one of the teachers, or the authorities about Lyoko and everything that happened. And that mean's they'd shut down the Super Computer and kill Aelita!

Sam… Aelita…

Unless she realized she can't, since we've kept it a secret for so long. Hopefully she realized how important this all was to the gang.

But what if she tried to do something? She'd be put in danger!

Just like Aelita.

I shook the thought from my head. I knew that Jeremie was in trouble, being missing and all. And from what I remember, Aelita probably is too. And Sam might put herself into danger.

How did we all get into this?

The camp. Ulrich went to camp, and left the novel. Wait, the novel…

I suddenly remembered something from the novel.

"I don't know, ok?"

"Listen to your heart."

"What's the point? It's better to use our heads anyway. Be done with it."

"Heaps of people have used their heads, and it's gotten them nowhere but trouble."

"And..?"

"And, I haven't met anyone who's ever gone wrong when using their hearts."

I sighed. It was probably because he never even met anyone who used their hearts instead of their heads. Even if it didn't make sense, I had nothing to lose. I had gone north, and there was nothing but trees. I kept going, I used my head. It brought me over towards the edge of the Forest Region, to the digital sea.

I feel like I should go West, but I don't think Jeremie's ever had to send us there. Who knows what's over there?

Like I said before, I had nothing to lose. I stood up, and walked west-wards.

Follow your heart, Odd! Well, Odd finally notices he has feelings not only for Sam, but for Aelita too. Also, I told you all the novel would come in handy! Although my theoy is that novels come in handy, not only for reading, but for hitting people over the heads with. Maybe I'll get Odd to do that in a later chapter. Anyway, I still have no idea where Jeremie is. Must've run away... There's no SamxUlrich pairing. That's just... no... Even if she just saved his life. Anyway, i'll stop rambling. R&R!
