One Door Closes As Another Opens- A Code: Lyoko Fanfic

Written By: Painin Uranus

.:AN:.

Okay, as readers that have seen this story progress should realize, I am going back and adding a little bit of this, fixing a little bit of that, y'know, spiffing up my story hit for new readers. I, as well as some helpful reviewers, found quite a lot of mistakes throughout the story, so I figured, why not fix up the whole thing? So, have fun, I've tried making the chapters a little bit clearer and longer. Don't forget to review to tell me how I did!

I dreamed this story up, and I figured that it was a pretty good idea, so I wrote it. It probably didn;t turn out the way I wanted it to, but I think it's good enough. Also, this is my first fanfic, so constructive critism is welcome. No flames, please! If you don't like it, then just stop reading it, okay? There may be someone out there that does like it. Oh, and guess who's POV this is? (I know, it's not that hard.)

Chapter Default: One Dream

Darkness was everywhere. Surrounded me, closing in. I was breathing it in, inside my body. It consumed me, fogging up my mind. It made me shudder, wishing for the sunshine's sweet caress... Light seemed to be a myth in this place...


There was only one door, my only way out. Right there, right behind me.

But I wasn't the only one in the room.

And I was angry. Really angry. I was furious, blinding mad. My face was stone cold, ice would seem like fire, a burning, flaming fire. I was dull, emotionless. I was never like this, no one could push me this far. My eyes were like steel, I could barely make out the figures in front of me. It wa Yumi... and Odd and Jeremie. They were standing there in front of me, hurt yet angry expressions adorning their usually friendly faces. They were there, right there, standing in front of me. My three best friends—my two buds and my crush. And, for some ungodly, despicable reason...

I turned away.

Then there was Sissi and her zombie goons, standing in the doorway, blocking the only exit. For some reason, I wasn't irritated. I wasn't annoyed. I wasn't thrilled either, but I wasn't acting like she was a bad person. She stood confidently, the light shinning behind her, hands on her hips and lips set in a smug grin. Without any hesitation, I walked toward them, calm, sure steps... saying over my shoulder in a cold, detatched voice, "One door closes as another door opens."

Sissi offered her hand, arrogant and cocky as always. I took her hand easily, without a disgusted look or an unpleasant shiver, and went through the open door, blinded with light, without looking back.

.:End Dream:.

I awoke abruptly, sitting up as if I were laying on needles. Gasping for air, my head whipped around, taking in my surroundings wildly. My pants echoed throughout the silent room for what seemed like eternity. Finally gaining enough sense to calm myself, I glanced at my clock.

It was 2:37.

Really late.

Hesitantly, I took a look in Odd's direction, just to see if I had woken him. Despite the fact that I had cried out, Odd continued to sleep peacefully, his slumber undisturbed.

Lucky, I thought darkly, a frown overtaking my usually passive feautures before dissolving away once more.

So far, after a lot of testing over the past few years, I had concluded that nothing could wake him. Odd could sleep through a war, complete with cannons and gunshots.

That is, until the lunch bell rang.

I laughed slightly, my earlier unease leaving me quickly. For a normal human being, the bell would have to be super loud, but Odd had all his senses tuned into the sound and could hear it from a mile away—if we could ever get him a mile away.

I slowly laid back down on my sweat-soaked bed, the uncomfortable feeling welcomed as my thoughts returned to my dream, my amusement subsiding.

What was that all about? I asked myself, my brow wrinkled in confusion while staring intently at the ceiling. I glared hard at it, mentally forcing it to answer my question. Me, turning away from my friends, just to join Sissi? No way. It'd never happen…

I pondered it a little bit more, the sound of Odd's snoring muffled due to my earplugs. For some reason, I took comfort in the sound, soothing me slowly to a peaceful state.

Naw… would never happen…

I decided that it was nothing to worry about, so I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. My mind hardly dreamed at all for the rest of that night, that one comment stamped permanently on my mind:

One door opens as another closes.

.:AN:.

So? What'd you think? It's still short, but it's a prolouge sort of thing, so it's suppose to be short… right? Still, I plan on adding more to the others, so read on, my friends, read on!
