Chapter 13: Unlucky 13

Jeremy entered Tramis's room, which she left open. "That's convenient," He said to himself. When he walked in, he noticed how messy her room was. "I didn't know girls can be so disorganized." Jeremy closed the door behind him and started to investigate. He opened the closet but only saw more clothes and shoes stacked up on each other. He looked under her bed and saw nothing. He walked up to her dresser and began opening the drawers. The first one had socks. The middle one had underwear. And the last one was locked.

That's a problem.

But, Jeremy is smart.

Jeremy found the key wedged in the middle of her two other drawers.

I hope this will not blow up like Light's he thought as he unlocked the drawer. He opened the drawer to see dozens of needles, marked with the names of people at Kadic.

Including the lyoko warriors.

What is she? Some kind of sadist? Jeremy thought.

Jeremy closed the drawer and took a breath. Now I know Tramis is planning to kill us all, but for what reason?

Jeremy stud up and spotted her computer. I must find something about Mrista on here. He booted up her computer and waited. The computer then chimed and asked for a password.

Another issue.

But, Jeremy is smart.

He clicked on the "hint" link and a window popped up. It read: password. Jeremy typed in 'drowssap" and he was logged on.

"Lets see what Tramis has been up to." He desktop had a folder labeled "Mristbiss". Jeremy laughed. She probably was thinking she was so clever when she was setting up her computer, Jeremy thought. Sorry but, nothing can slip past me. He clicked on it and he discovered that the folder held messages sent from Mrista to Tramis. He clicked on the most recent message link and a window popped up. It read:

Today is the day. Eliminate Ulrich. He is too dangerous. Dispose of him. And leave no tracks.

Mrista

"So this girl is working with Mrista," Jeremy said. "Now we have to figure out where they are headed." He clicked on other messages and did not find anything about the location of Ulrich. None of the messages mentioned anything about Mrista's motives or location. Jeremy got angry. So Tramis is just one of her slaves, He thought. He turned off her computer and left her room.

What Jeremy did not know is that he was faced with a big problem.

And he was not smart enough to figure it out.

Yumi sat on her bed with the intention to work on her homework. She had her books laid out in front of her. She got distracted almost immediately. She got up from her bed and turned on the radio. But for some reason, she did not feel like dancing. She turned off the music and sat down again.

Suddenly, her mobile rang. Yumi got out her phone and saw that she was receiving a call from Aelita. She picked it up.

"Aelita," She said into the phone.

"Oh Yumi! You are okay. Something's happened!" Aelita replied.

"What is it?" Yumi asked.

"Ulrich's missing and we do not know what kind of danger he is in. It's a long story but Tramis did something to Ulrich and we are faced with a dilemma."

Ulrich, in danger? Yumi thought. Suddenly, Yumi's heart took a leap. Ulrich. There is something with me and Ulrich. And he might be in danger.

"Yumi, you hear me?" No, Ulrich is nothing. Useless.

"We have to look for Ulrich." Aelita said. "Come to meet with us."

Ulrich is not worth saving. Yumi was not acting hyper and childish anymore. She started to feel emotionless.

"No," Yumi said.

"What did you just say?"

"Ulrich is not important." Yumi said.

"Is something wrong with you? One of our friends is in the hands of Mrista and you can't do anything about it? Have you lost your mind?" The funny thing is, Yumi did.

Yumi hung up the phone.

She erased her mind of Ulrich.

"We have another problem," Aelita told Odd while putting away her phone. Aelita and Odd were searching the school for Ulrich. They were running through the halls of the science department.

"What is it now?" Odd said.

"Something's going on with Yumi, she does not care that Ulrich is missing,"

Odd stopped. "W-wait. How can Yumi not care about Ulrich? They are practically blinded by love."

"Yeah but you know how Yumi has been acting lately." Aelita said. "Well we will deal with her later, our priority is to find Ulrich, I'm call Jeremy."

Suddenly Aelita's phone rang. It was a call from Jeremy.

"Okay, that's convenient." Aelita answered her phone. "Got any clues?"

"Well, the only thing I discovered is that Mrista told Tramis to basically try to kill us all. Oh, and she told her to get rid of Ulrich. So… we're screwed," Jeremy said.

"Well that's great" Aelita said sarcastically. "We also ran in to another problem. There is something wrong with Yumi."

"I thought we already decided that." Jeremy said.

"But this is worse."

"Well we will talk about that later. Where are you guys?" Jeremy asked.

"We are coming out of the science building."

"Okay," Jeremy hung up.

"So what do we do now?" Odd asked.

Aelita shrugged. They exited the building and entered the courtyard. They then saw William walking in their direction.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" He walked up to them.

"None of your business," Aelita said.

"I doubt it. But if you need some help, I am available." William said.

"No, we are fine. And how would you offer to help us?" Odd said.

William grinned. "I find it hard to believe that you guys never have anything to deal with."

"Can you just leave us alone?" Aelita got angry.

"Why?" William crossed his arms. "So you guys can make out?"

"N-No! Why the hell would we do that?" Odd said.

William laughed. "Haha just kidding."

Jeremy suddenly appeared and came running up to them saying, "So what is wrong with Yumi?" Jeremy then noticed William.

"Yumi?" William got interested. He then remembered what happened the other night. "Oh, Yumi."

"Uh..." Jeremy looked at William. "Do you mind?"

"So there is something going on." William said. "I'm guessing it has to do with Yumi. I did see her the other night. She kicked me out and left me alone in the pouring rain."

"Like we ca—" Aelita began.

"Hold on," Jeremy interrupted. "You know something."

William shrugged. "Well I guess. Yumi has been acting weird lately. Is there something going on with her?"

"Maybe." Jeremy said without revealing anything.

"Look, I do not like the way you guys are keeping secrets from me. Does this have to do with X.A.N.A?" William asked.

"X.A.N.A. is gone, remember?" Aelita said.

"Okay, okay, I believe you. But there is something else I bet."

"Can you please, just leave?"

"Nope. I'm not moving until you guys tell me what's going on." William was enjoying this.

No one said anything.

"Oh, I just noticed something. Yumi and Ulrich are not with you guys. I hope they did not run away together." William laughed.

No one laughed.

"Oh, tough crowd. Anyway, I just passed that new girl-what's her name again? Trashim or something? I heard her mutter something about Ulrich and something about a lake. It was probably nothing." William decided to give up. "Well, I have things to do, I'll be going that way."

"Wait!" Jeremy called. Everyone now was thinking about the same thing;, they have finally got some information. "Where did she do?" Jeremy asked. William turned around and faced them.

"I won't tell you unless you tell me what's up." William smiled.

Ulrich eventually got his hands and feet free from the ropes. Step one: accomplished. But now he had to find a way to get out of the truck. Before it flooded over; which would cause him to die. So it obviously seemed like Ulrich was in great danger and there was a very slim chance of being saved. Ulrich was practically screwed. Now time for step two: Ulrich will have to break into the front of the car.

And in the meantime pray to God that he will be saved.

Thanx for reading!

Hopefully I'll have the next chapter next month.
