And without further a due, heres Ch.10....

Ch.10 –Aftershock

It had struck the whole school now. Four days passed and still no sign of Yumi or Odd. Every place accessible had been searched. Yumi's parents had called the police. Luckily, the police only questioned each student once, and Ulrich & Jeremy didn't have to mention Lyoko or anything else. Still, there was no sign of Odd or Yumi anywhere...

Ulrich: "I can't take it anymore. I won't just stand here and watch two of my best friends just slip away from me forever!!"

Jeremy: "Ulrich, wait!"

There was no stopping him.

As he ran through the dorm hallway, he noticed every room had been searched and toppled over, due to the police. He reached the end of the hallway, looking back at Jeremy, who now stood at the other end. Jeremy nodded with sympathy, and it was understood that he was to go back to the factory to finish rebooting the computer.

Ulrich went on. He burst through so many doorways and exits, searching high and low, here and there. He reached the outside, and started racing towards the woods, when he was stopped and held back by Jim.

"No Ulrich, you can't go searching in there right now. You must stay on campus!"

"No! I, I can't! I've got to find her! Jim I have to find, to find Yumi and Odd! Let me go!!"

He struggled and struggled, but Jim was too strong. He managed to drag Ulrich back into the school, where he led him to the dorms.

Once Jim had left him, he forced his feet to walk to his room. Getting in, he sank to the ground, hopeless.

One, and only one thought was on his mind.

"Yumi. Yumi, I will find you. Yumi...."

Grabbing a pillow nearby, he threw it across the room. It hit the radio, and the song 'Hold On' turned on. This got him even madder. Ulrich rampaged against the wall and hit it dead on. He slid down the wall and slumped to the ground. Tears were now flowing from his eyes. Making a fist, he punched the wall, over and over and over again...The song played on.

Picking up a forgotten shoe that had been lying around, he threw it at the radio, and the whole thing fell to the ground.

"Nice shot!" he remembered Odd telling him.

"Why? Why does everything happen to me?!"

He started to sob.

"Just when everything seemed to be going great; just when Yumi and I had finally shared our feelings; right when Xana seemed to have quit; EVERYTHING WENT WRONG."

Ulrich buried his face in his hands and tried to stop the tears. He looked up, and suddenly found an answer.

"Evin!! The computer! She must've known what happened to Odd since he was talking to her last; before, he, became unconscious....that's it!"

Racing to the computer, he turned it on and tried to find out if Evin was logged on.

"Yes! I found her!"

Typing in a few things, Evin's image came up on the screen.

Ulrich: Evin! Thank god you're online.

Evin: Uh, excuse me? Who's this?

Ulrich: I'm Ulrich, Odd's best friend.

Evin: Okay...

Ulrich: Let me explain what's been happening here for the past few days.

Ulrich tried to explain everything, from Odd's fainting, to Yumi and Odd's disappearance. He tried not to tell her too much about Lyoko, just that that was a totally different story.

Ulrich: So I need to know if you saw or heard anything when Odd fell unconscious.

Evin: Actually, I did see something really peculiar. Odd was talking to me when he was interrupted by this girl. She walked in and didn't say anything at frist.

Ulrich: This girl...what did she look like?

Evin: I think she had pink hair, and her eyes were glowing red. Oh, and Odd was saying something to her. Something like, 'Aelita, you won't tell them about Evin, right?'

Ulrich: AELITA?! Wait, wait, wait. What happened after that?

Evin: Well, that's what I'm not too sure about. That girl walked up to him, and then my visual of Odd just shut off. I thought it was just my computer.

Ulrich: It shut off?....on its own? That's weird.

Evin: Yeah, it is. Well I have to go. Hope I was of some use to you. Do find Odd as soon as you can. Later.

Ulrich: Thanks. Bye.

Ulrich shut off the computer. He leaned back in the chair.

What was Aelita doing in his room? She said she found him unconscious, and then told us...what if, Aelita did something...

But how?

Aelita would never do something like that....unless...

It has to be him!

AN: The song 'Hold On' is by Good Charlotte, beautiful song indeed. Newyz im off. Do send questions in your reviews if you have any. Later till
