Chapter 5: Discovered A Way Out

A young Japanese teen girl woke up, she rubbed her eyes, so her vision would be better, when she looked around, it was total darkness.She couldn't see a thing but pure darkness, the last thing she remembered was one of her best friend exploded. Then she felt something vibrate in her pocket, it was her cell phone.

"Hello."she answered by whispering.

"Hey Yumi, its Odd, I tried toreach Ulrich and Jeremy, but they wouldn't pick up, something must be wrong. Where are you? I'm coming back today." Odd replied.

"I don't know where I am Odd, all I can see is darkness, I can't see a thing except my cell phone. Aelita exploded and-" The Japanese girl was interrupted by her friend.

"Aelita exploded? What happened?"Odd asked in a worried voice.

"I think Xana infected her with a virus, so she exploded, but I'm sure we'll find a way to bring her back." Yumi tried to calm Odd down."So anyways, when she exploded we all fell unconscious, and then I ended up here, I don't know how I got here though. Also, I don't know where Jeremy and Ulrich are either, but I think they have a bad injury. They were closer to Aelita when Aelita disappeared. I'm not hurt that much." Yumi finished.

"Alright, stay put, I'll find you guys somehow. Just be careful."

"Alright."

They both shut off their cell phone. Then the lights went on, Yumi saw both Ulrich and Jeremy still unconscious.

"Wake up Ulrich, wake up Jeremy." Yumi begged. When they wouldn't wake up, Yumi touched their wrist to see if they still have a pulse.She wasrelieved, they still do, she let out a sigh. Then smiled.

"I guess I can let them rest awhile, they seem pretty hurt and tired." the young teen girl thought to herself. "Oh well, meanwhile I should look for an exit."

"Mmmm....Yu-Yumi..."

"Huh?"gasped the girl. "Ulrich...you're awake!"

"Yeah....uhh....what happened to us?"

"Shhh....Jeremy is still out, so keep it down, we fell unconscious, and I'm trying to look for a way out."whispered Yumi.

"Uh...okay, I'll help you." offered Ulrich.

"No Ulrich, you need your rest, you're still very weak and injured."

"No, I can help, I'm okay, honestly."

"Well...okay, I guess, but if your not feeling well you can always take a rest.

"Yeah, I know Yumi."

Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other and blushed, there was a strange silence.

"Well...lets begin." Yumi tried to change the subject.

"Uhh...right."agreed Ulrich.

Both of them looked and looked....an hour passed and still nothing to be found. Then Yumi found something, a old wooden door, but she wasn't sure where the door would lead.

"Ulrich, take a look at this, an old wooden door, maybe its a way out."

"Hmm...." Ulrich took a few moments to observe the door. "I dunno, should we try to see where it leads?"

"Yeah, because it might be a way out, and this door might be our only hope."

Then both Ulrich and Yumi saw a shadow passing them, Yumi was about to scream but Ulrich covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shhh. We can't let that scare us."

She just nodded.

"Wow, he sure is confident. Wonder why he wasn't afraid."Yumi thought, then shrugged."Oh well."

The young boy slowly reached for the doorknob. When his hand touched it he slowly turned the dooknob and it opened. He took a peek and then he smirked.

"Yup, this is our way out."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"But Ulrich what about Jeremy?"

"Oh yeah....him. I'll go get him, wait here and don't go anywhere."

"Right."

Ulrich ran back where Jeremy was leaving the girl alone, she was afraid to be left alone and she wished that Ulrich never left her.

"Please hurry back Ulrich"she prayed.

But someone had ruined the moment, another shadow appeared, she was freaking out, her heart beat was going so fast that she thought that she was going to faint. The shadow's footstep got closer and closer, it got louder and louder, making her freak out more and more.

"I must be hallucinating" she thought.

She was breathing hard, and as the shadow got closer, she ran back. Then she bumped into Ulrich and Jeremy, who's now awake.

"Yumi, are you okay?" asked the worried boy.

"Yeah, another shadow, that's all. It was coming closer and closer and I freaked out. So I decided to go back and look for you guys." sighed Yumi.

"A shadow??? What are you guys talking about???" asked the blond hair boy.

"Its a long story, we'll tell you later. But now, we have to get out of here."

"Yeah, I hope we don't run into anymore creepy stuff." Yumi said in a scared voice.

They all walked together to the door, when they got there they all stepped out, but just then a big tall man came up to them.

"And where do you guys think your going?"he raged.

"Uh oh." whispered Yumi.

"We're going home! And your not gonna stop us! Who are you anyways and what do you want with us?!" Ulrich was really mad that his voice was getting louder and louder.

"My name is Mr.Mean. You little brats have been destroying and ruining my plans, and you guys are going to pay!"

"What do you mean by that, we don't even know you!" Yumi shouted.

"I own Xana, I control it and every time I try to do something you guys would ruin it. You guys destroy my evil plans to rule over the world, and I'm not going to allow that! So you guys must be destroyed, we are on our way to capturing your other friend. Mwhahaha!!!"

The trio gasped.

"SO IT WAS YOU! YOU TRIED TO DESTROY OUR HOME! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GONNA PAY, NOT US!!!" Jeremy defended.

"Yeah right, what are three kids gonna do about it, heh heh."

Mr. Mean snapped his finger and a dozen of people came out and grabbed hold of the trio. They were being thrown into the darkness again. They were trapped there now, no way out, again.......
