Chapter 11

Through The Bird's Eyes

Raven's POV.

I felt a small smile grace my face as Odd walked over to Sissi, Herve, Nicholas and I after class ended. He took my hand and led me to the Girl's Dormitory. He and I were almost at my shared dorm with Aelita.

Odd. Such a perfect name for him.

"Odd, Shyanne." A distinctively male voice said from behind us. We both turned to see the art teacher. Hmm, there's something . . . off . . . about him.

"Yes, Mr Chardin?" That angelic voice asked the teacher, I resisted the urge to shiver in delight. I gasped in horror as Mr Chardin begin to melt. No, no, no, no, no, NO! This can't be happening. The maroon skin, the grotesque wounds, the long scrawny arms, the enormous hands, the nails sharp enough to cut through diamond . . . oh, Azar, please, NO!

"Demon." I manage to whisper just before it roared at us. I felt myself stiffen with fear.

This can't be happening, not now! I feel Odd grab my wrist and pull me down the corridor in a run. Wow, I wonder if he's on the Track team . . . there's no time to think about that now! I glanced backwards to see it following us- hang on. What's that symbol on its forehead? That's not a rune; runes don't glow pure white on the Demonic. They only glow red . . . blood red. It's gaining on us now. Damn! Why did this have to happen now?! I look back at Odd in time to see him turn his head quickly to look at me and what I'd originally thought was one of Father's minions. I see my reflection in his gorgeous eyes. I'm crying. I don't cry; crying is for the weak. He is my weakness. We exited the building a moment ago but I'm only just noticing, too busy running from it . . . hold on, where is it? I can't hear it anymore. Hmm, if it's anything like Father's minions than it won't give up so easily. We slow to a stop in the park and out drops to his knees to open a manhole.

"Odd . . . what WAS that thing?" I doubt he'll know. He turns to me, precious brown pearls with blue flakes staring into the depths of my soul. Goodness gracious, I'm getting soft.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think we lost it," he tells me as he finally removes the manhole from the ground, "Come on, I know a safe place." I glance between him and the manhole.

"We can't just leave! What do you think that, that . . . THING will do to Sissi?" I exclaim as Odd pulled out his phone and texted someone. Is it really the time for that!?

"We've got it covered. We just really need to go. Now." What does he mean by 'we've'? He starts climbing down the manhole but I am reluctant to follow. This is so gross! I climb down after him and as I touch the ground (or should I say underground) Odd grabbed two of the three skateboards from against the sewer wall. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Odd, Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita and possibly Yumi have been down here before. Odd holds out one of the skateboards to me.

"Can you skate?" I nod and he hands me the board. We race threw the sewers with Odd in the lead. I feel myself giggle as my hair flies behind me. After another minute Odd stops and turns to me. I slow down but one of the front wheels must've caught a rock or something because the board flew up from beneath me and the next thing I know I'm safely in Odd's arms.

So warm.

He smiles at me as he starts to climb up the ladder after a second I follow him and we emerge in front of what seems to be an abandoned factory. I look as my hand as Odd's fingers intertwine with mine and he leads me into the old industrial building. We walk in and there's an open elevator a floor below up, and there's also a bunch of ropes to allow us to get down there I presume. Odd turns to me and gives me a quick kiss before wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me close to his chest, gripping my side and grabbing one of the ropes hanging from the ceiling. He looks me in the eyes.

"You ready, Rae-Rae?" He rests his forehead on mine for a brief second. I nod and wrap my arms around his neck. He gives me yet another angelic smile before leaning back slightly and jumping off the ledge. I grip tighter as we glide through the air and safely onto the ground. I look up from my position with my head buried in his chest to see him smirking at me. My face heats up as we enter the elevator. After a second Yumi lands in front of the elevator and enters.

"Hey, what're you doing here?" She asks me as the door closes.

"Odd was walking me back to my room until we were stopped about halfway by Mr Chardin. Then he just melted right then and there into this hideous creature and chased us" I tell her as we lean against the same wall. She's really easy to talk to, I have no idea why Ulrich goes quiet around her. I look at Odd to see him texting again.

"Jeremy knows we're here. Shyanne, get off at the second stop, okay?" I nod as the elevator stops. Odd gives me a kiss on the cheek before going into the room, trailing behind Yumi who waved at me. I wave back and smile as the doors close again and the elevator goes up again.

When the elevator stopped again I walked into this large room with a sphere showing four terrains and a core, on a rail around that was a chair that I found Jeremy to be sitting on, typing on a computer.

"Hi, Raven." He said without looking up.

"Hey. What is all this?"

"It's the Super Computer. The holographic sphere shows the five sectors of Lyoko." He explained, "We don't really need to do a Time Reversal, since no-one's seen Chardin yet and it's really late. You can't tell anyone about this place, you know that right?" I nod.

"What's with the cards?" I ask as I notice four of five cards flashing on the screen. One of them is a Virtual Ulrich dressed as a samurai, one is a Virtual Yumi as a geisha, one is of Aelita as a forest elf and the last is a Virtual Odd as a Neko. Wow . . .

"Those are the avatars of Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita. We don't know who the fifth avatar belongs to." I look at the fifth one. Uh oh. After a second of Jeremy typing the fifth card starts to glow. Not flash like the others, but glow.

"That can't be right." Jeremy mumbles as he brings up what I assume is security footage of the room Odd and Yumi went into. There's no one there. "Hmm, why is this happening?"

"Jeremy, is there a problem out there?" I here Yumi's voice say from . . . somewhere.

"Possibly, the fifth card is glowing." Jeremy said into the microphone of his ear-piece.

"Is that bad?" Ulrich's voice came from the same place Yumi's did.

"I'm not sure, it could be- um, guys you may wanna slow down your vehicles." Jeremy said as several shapes appeared on the screen.

"What's wrong, Einstein?" I smiled as I heard Odd's voice.

"I don't think you'll be able to take on fifty monsters. Hold on, I can quickly upgrade your weaponry." Jeremy said while typing.

"Where are they?" I ask as I stare at the sphere.

"The Forest Sector." Jeremy replied while typing, "I'm upgrading your vehicles too."

"Is Raven with you?" I hear Aelita ask innocently.

"Yeah, she is. I've explained a few things." Jeremy said as he opened a draw and grabbed another ear-piece and passed it to me, "She can talk to you now." He continued as I put the ear piece in my ear. Suddenly I could hear winds blowing, and insects buzzing.

"Hey, Rae-Rae!" I smiled as Odd yelled.

"Hey, Odd." I say to him as I star at the forest terrain on the holograph. He's there somehow. Jeremy (or as Odd called him, 'Einstein') kept typing for another minute or so.

"Okay, you're fully up-to-date. I think you'll be able to take 'em down now." The blonde said finally.

"Finally!" Yumi joked. After a few minutes I can only guess that Odd, Aelita, Ulrich and Yumi were valiantly fighting a swarm of monsters; while Jeremy was explaining a few things to me.


I know that it's practically the exact same as the last chapter but I don't think I've done Raven's POV yet. And I've also sort of shown that yes, it is the Half-Demon Azarathian we all love. This is Pre-Teen Titans, just so you know.

REMEMBER! If you spot a mistake (grammar, fact, etc.) tell me in a review or a PM and I'll take note because once I've finished I am going to delete this story and post the better version of it on here. Or maybe just write 'REMAKE' in the title.
