CHAPTER 3…SISSI'S HORRIFIC DEMISE.
The loud popping of unreeling duct tape filled the room, and Odd and Yumi helped Jeremie strap December to the computer chair.
" Yeah, well, around two thirty, Ulrich woke me when he opened the door, and left…I figured he'd just gone to the bathroom or something..so I didn't give it any thought." Ulrich, who'd woken up twenty minutes earlier, left after seeing Yumi walk into the room. He was wondering the grounds, even thought it was only four ten. Jeremie fumbled around in the dark, and picked up the twine rope he'd saved from Christmas, and began to wreathe December's hands together.
" All I know is…Ulirch's lucky to be alive…and so are you, Yumi." He stated, glancing up at her. "heh, you wouldn't have been in any danger if you didn't spend the night with him…like you do almost every night now." She rolled her eyes.
"Oh fuck off, Jeremie, what he and I do is our business…but of course not everything…now that you've turned into a peeping tom." Uncrossing her arms, she bent down toward December's race, and looked him in his half open eyes.
" Hey, I turned around, ok?" He whined in his defense.
" His eyes…they're so strange…" she lifted one of his lids with her finger, and investigated more.
" I think it has to deal with the primal nature hes taken on…by my guesses," Jeremie entertained himself with the intrigue of December's newly aquired abilities. "… he can see better in the dark with his own eyes than I can with a NAVY night vision ocular enhancement system…but that's just a guess." Yumi returned to her stance by the door, and leaned against the wall in the dark shadow of the room. Jeremie stood, and gathered a strip of duct tape for his mouth.
The last sound of tape jarred December into consciousness. His eyes floated around the room, and focused on Jeremie's approaching hands, with the tape ready.
In a burst of movement, December rocked the chair forward, and sunk his teeth into Jeremies wrist. Yumi and Odd flew into action, prying Decembers body back to the chair, taking Jeremie with them. Jeremie grunted and ground his teeth, trying not to make a sound to disturb the other rooms. Blood began to drip…then flow from Decemebrs mouth. Jeremie couldn't contain himself…he let out a loud yelp, and ripped his limb from the jaws. December's body slammed into the chair, sending Yumi and Odd behind him. Yumi stood back, and looked at the pitiful sight… ' December…please….please… fight it if you can…I love you too much for you to be lost to XANA' Her thoughts ran wild with memories. Of course she would never display any sort of worry in front of Jeremie or Odd…besides…if thoughts of caring and love were kept inside…they meant what they meant, and a hundred fold more.
Even though Jeremie's thoughts were focused on the pain in his hand…his eyes were focused on Yumi. 'God…shes in so much pain…I can't imagine, watching the one person I love…' He turned his gaze now to December, sitting in the chair, bound and flustered, with blood dripping from his mouth…onto his scarred chest. ' acting so mindless and violent…don't worry December…youre my friend. This isn't your fault…and I'll bring you back…I promise.' Jeremie walked to Yumi, and looked her square in the eye. "If there is an answer, it lies in Lyoko…we have to get to the factory."
