This chapter is probably the weirdest (and most non-sense making) yet. I think that's a good thing...

Review!!! Ahhhhhh!!!

"Tegan!" Tegan looked up and noticed another platform, which she decided Odd was on. She stepped forward until she was in the middle of the circle and felt herself float up to the floor above.

"Jade, do you think it's a trap?"
No, but be careful anyway. I can't do anything in the tower, that's why I couldn't tell you where Odd was before.

"I hope you're right, that it's not a trap."

She opened her eyes as she landed on the next platform. Odd was lying down on the platform with some kind of dark mist surrounding him. Suddenly William came up out of nowhere.

"He must've been using the mist to hold Odd to the ground!"

Maybe. Where's Ulrich?

Tegan pointed at William. "If, if you hurt any of my friends, I'll make sure you don't see tomorrow!"

The boy laughed at her and stepped towards her. She tried to step back but stopped because there was no space behind her. One more step and she'd fall.

"What do you want with them? I mean I understand Aelita but why Odd?" She looked down just as more smoke speared next to Odd. A second later Ulrich was next to him.

"It doesn't matter." He didn't sound human. His voice had an eerie quality to it, but she wasn't sure what it was. It wasn't his own voice. It couldn't be his.

"Well what is it? What do you want?"

"We want…" He took another stepped forward and brought out his sword. He lifted it up slowly until the tip of it was touching her chin. "…You."

"Me? But… me? Why?"

He didn't answer. Instead he swung his sword down and hit Ulrich, devirtualizing him. He then looked at Tegan.

"Go on, shoot him. You'll bring him back to your world."

Tegan looked at Odd. Only one thing was going through her mind. Trap.

She pointed at Odd. She wanted, needed him back on earth. But she couldn't risk losing him. Not again.

She swung her arm back up and pointed at William. "Pinpoint!"

He held out his sword liked a shield and blocked the shot. "So that's how it's going to be, is it?" He dropped the sword and held out his hand, before shooting an energy blast much like Aelita's, only darker.

Tegan ducked quickly and let it fly over her head, before stepping closer to William. "When I'm done with you-" She turned around. It was followingher.

She flipped over it. It flew towards William who held out his hand and seemed to absorb it. "You can't win. You're new here. You don't know how to fight. You're trying to battle me, but you can't. And you know it."

She looked down at Odd's lifeless body. She couldn't leave him here. She had to help him.

"You know what? Fine. Have it your way. I'll leave if you just give me Aelita back, too." She pointed at Odd and hit him, before William could change his mind. "I'm sure we could come up with a deal or something."

"We don't want you to leave us alone. We want your company." William took another step closer to her. She looked up at him. He was at least a head taller than her.

"What do you want me for?" She looked down at her feet. Everything started to make sense. Everything. "You have my family. Don't you? You took my life away and made me what I am. You took away my memory... Just like you did to Aelita!" She looked up and before she knew what she was doing, she felt herself absorbing into him. She saw into his mind.

"You can't do this to us! Why do you have to do this? You don't have to!" The woman yelled.

"I can do whatever I want. You don't realize how special you are."

"Please, please let us go!" She looked down at the two girls next to her. The brunette, like herself, looked about 9 years old and the other child, who happened to have light purple hair, looked around 12. "At least save my kids."

"No."

"Please!"

"Only the weakest." The youngest looked around. She started to change. Her ears turned round and furry and she started to grow a tail.

"What are you doing!" She screamed at him. She realized she wasn't the only one who had changed. The 12 year old had round butterfly-like wings and also had a small, striped tail. She looked like a cross between a purple tiger and a butterfly. The mother looked like an angel with black wings and a black dress.

The youngest one watched her feet start to vanish before her. "Mum, what's happening to me?"

"Relax Tegan, everything will be ok."

"Jade, Jade! Save her too! Sister!" Soon she was gone completely.

Tegan felt her legs collapse beneath her. She looked up at William. His eyes were wide with shock, but the surprise was soon replaced with anger.

"Don't you daredo that again!"

She felt her eyes droop slightly. She gazed at William, trying to figure out what happened.

"Xana, that, you did that. That was my family. You…" Everything started to turn black.

She opened her eyes slowly. The first thing she saw were green eyes looking down at her.

"Tegan?"

"Odd!" She tried to stand up but fell forwards. Odd grabbed her before she fell down.

"Are you ok?"

"Odd, I, I saw into Xana's mind. I saw one of his memories."

"What?"

"Jade. Jade's my sister."

"You mean…"

"Jade?"

Tegan looked at Ulrich and nodded. "Yeah, my sister, her name's Jade. I didn't know I had a, a sister." She looked at Odd. He was the only one who knew about Jade.

"We should go to our room." Odd said to Ulrich. Ulrich nodded and motioned for the group to come too.

"Tell us every detail about what happened. If you can get into Xana's mind, maybe we can stop him."

"I have a lot of explaining to do, huh." She said. Odd helped her stand up properly. She looked at the group and her eyes focused on Aelita's.

"Aelita?"

"We have some explaining to do, too. Come on, let's go." Jeremie answered for her. Odd put his arm around her shoulders to keep her steady, since she was weak from the trip.

She snuggled in close to him and sighed. "Do you think we could bring Jade back somehow?" She said soft enough so that only Odd could hear.

"I hope so. If she's a part of you, like, in your mind, then yeah. It'd be the same thing as before, when you were a mouse. I think."

"Thanks Odd."

"What for? You're the one who saved me."

"For everything."

I'm not sure when I can update again. Soon, hopefully. Hope you liked the chapter Ciao!
