Nice guess. Your half right and half wrong. Any who, you get the mentioning I guess. The winner is: sorry but I forgot you screen name, so it is the brilliant writer who reviews my story the most. On with the show.
Odd gazed stupidly at Tara as she ran into the elevator. He looked at the gang and then he started to run after Tara. Tara had made it to the ropes and then she knew that she was stuck. "Why did I decide not to take gym class?" She asked herself.
"I don't know, why you don't tell me." Odd asked. Tara was startled by Odd's appearance. At the moment, Tara was almost scared of Odd. She made a motion to run, but Odd stepped in front of her way. "Don't make me tackle you." Tara laughed at this, but none the less she still wanted to run, run away from what had happened.
Two months ago, Tara lived at home with her family. She was happy and one thing she did love was her computer. Tara loved to go through programs and things like that. Then one day, Tara found an icon on her computer. It was the icon of Xana. Tara, of course, didn't know that it belonged to Xana. She clicked on it and a pop up, well, popped up. It instructed Tara to put headphones on and that she plugged them in to the computer. Tara did what she was instructed and placed her headphones over her ears and plugged them in to the computer; something Tara would regret doing for a long time. As soon as she plugged the headphones in Tara heard a piercing screech. Images flashed before her eyes. Images of Aelita, Lyoko, herself being hooked up to a computer system, and finally she saw the icon of Xana. The booming voice of Xana spoke to her. "I will have you." The voice said. "I will follow you where ever you go, I will destroy your life until the power you have is mine! Goodbye Tara." Then Xana sent a shock to Tara. After this, all Tara could see when she closed her eyes were the images that Xana had implanted in her mind. Soon, Tara didn't sleep because her dreams were full of the images. Her parents sent her to a mental institution. There everyone said that Tara was crazy, but Tara knew that what she had seen was real. When Tara came back home, her parents had left a note saying that she would have been a burden because of her condition. So she would be sent to a boarding school and they would stay in a hotel until she left.
Odd gave Tara a strange look. Tara had been gazing out in to space while she remembered her terrible experience.
"Are you okay dragonfly?" Odd asked in a worried tone. Tara shook the memories out of her head and stared at Odd with tears in her eyes. She then ran to him and embraced him. Tara didn't care if it looked embarrassing or if Odd didn't love her, she needed be hugged. Odd, although startled, accepted the hug and patted Tara on the back. "Hey, no friend of mine will be seen crying while I'm here."
"I can't be a player of that game." Tara sobbed. "I'll die in there, I know it!" At this Odd grabbed Tara's face and brought it close to his. He stared at her with gazing eyes. Tara could tell that the stare was not of romance but of anger.
"Look at me when I tell you this." He ordered sternly. "My friends and I will protect you; I promise on my life that nothing will happen to you in there."
"I've met Xana before; he said he would take me." Tara explained. "He wants a power that I supposedly have."
"I don't care what Xana told you, he can't have and he won't have." Odd spat. Tara had never seen Odd act so serious. It almost scared her. "You are my friend and if Xana even tries to take you I'll kill him myself." Odd remained silent. "I'll be your guardian if you will be our new player." Tara thought over the words in her head. Odd promised that he would protect her and she was sure that Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremy would protect her. She still didn't trust the girl with the pink hair. Also, Xana's words blurred endlessly in her mind. She thought for a long time and Tara almost had no words to say. Then she made a decision. She looked at Odd and opened her mouth. Tara didn't get to answer though, because at that moment a bolt of lightning struck through the ceiling and aimed for Tara. Odd shoved Tara out of the way and Tara saw the bolt strike Odd on the leg. Odd yelped in pain as the two landed on the ground. Odd got up though, and he grabbed Tara's hand and dragged her towards the elevator.
"What is happening." Tara cried over the sound of another lightning bolt that had hit the factory.
"We need to get to the factory now!" Odd cried back as he dodged another lightning bolt. "I think Xana has launching his most powerful attack."
What a serious moment. It really does surprise me how serious I can really be. Thanks to those who love me and review me. Until next time, peace to the Middle East, bathe the whales, and pay the hobos.
