Disclaimer: If I owned Code Lyoko, would I be sitting here typing this? No I would be out getting everything I wanted off of the money I was making! But I'm not shopping so I don't own Code Lyoko.

I also don't own Amaya Hart or Agrona. My friend Kaleigh (dracosgoddess56) owns them.

Claimer: Ha! I own someone! I own Demetrius, but he comes up later on so you need not worry about him right now. Oh, and I own Shadow.

Summary: A new girl arrives with a horrible past... horrible but mysterious. The mysteriousness of her past causes the Lyoko gang to help her put the pieces of her past together. Will she finally know what happened that fateful day? Just as she is getting cozy in her new school, Xana attacks once again, this time stronger than ever. Far too strong for just Ulrich, Yumi, Od, Jeremie, and Aelita to handle alone.

Ch. 1 Running

I ran. Ran from the gore and pain of what was once my home. By my side, my wolf, Agrona, ran with me. Clinging on to her back for dear life was my black cat, Shadow. The soft padding of Agrona's paws comforted me, but only a little. Nothing could ever make the horrid sight that had branded itself in my mind go away. But I suppose that is what I get for running away for four whole years. Sure, I deserved some kind of punishment, like being grounded for the rest of my life, but this? No.

To come home after four years and see your grandmother's gored body lying lifelessly on the ground was not something anyone would look forward to. Then to see that it was your own step-grandfather that had done it? I don't think so. She was the only one that ever cared to actually care about me after... their deaths. My step-grandfather? Psssh. He never cared. He was a drunk and a good-for-nothing loser. I still have a scar from when he threw a broken glass beer bottle at me when I had first moved in with them.

I moved in with them when I was seven, right after my parents died. I lived with them for three years, the entire time taking beatings from my drunken step-grandfather when my grandmother wasn't around.

What did I do in my four years away from everyone? Oh, I wasn't homeless. I was ten when I ran away, and quite capable of living on my own, being the independent girl I am, but a fighter found me. He taught me everything he knew and I soon mastered everything he knew. It included all forms of martial arts, sword fighting, stealth, fencing, archery, self defense, and the tricks of street fighting. Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy, and maybe a little impossible, but it's true. I was a quick learner, or so my master said. I was just as good as he was and helped him train a new runaway he found, Demetrius. We became friends, but I decided it was time to go back. Master made me promise to never forget him or his trainings, and to this day I haven't. Now back to where I am now. Running.

I needed to find a place to live, for at least a little while. I would go back tomorrow and gather my stuff and get my horses. I had two of them, Storm and Mystic. Storm was a pure black stallion down to his hooves with stormy gray eyes, where I got his name from. Mystic was pure white down to her hooves with pale blue eyes, which were a little creepy looking at first, but held inner beauty. They were both three years old and I loved them dearly, as I did Agrona and Shadow. My only friends.

I ran into a large grouping of forested area with Agrona at my heels. I stopped abruptly. I held perfectly still while my eyes darted around, scanning the area. Voices. I heard them. And apparently, so did Agrona, for she laid her ears back against her black head. The tip of Shadow's tail flicked back and forth in short rapid motions. I silently reached over and stroked Shadow's fur. He looked at me with big yellow eyes, awaiting my command. I pointed up a tree and he followed where my arm was going. He looked back at me as if confirming the action then leapt silently off of Agrona's back. He quickly clambered up the tree and into the branches, where it was so dark all you could see was his glowing yellow eyes, and that was only if you looked hard enough.

I stopped and listened. The voices were getting louder. I placed my hand on Agrona's head and she looked at me with her unusual blue eyes. When I found her as a pup, she had blue eyes, but that was expected. But as she grew up and her eyes did not turn yellow, I thought she was blind. But it turned out that she could see just fine. I pointed to a clump of bushes on my left and she darted over to them. I put a finger to my lips signaling for her to be quiet and she was. As quickly and as silently as Shadow, I scrambled up into the same tree he was in. He turned around and gazed at me for a moment before looking at the ground again. With his right paw, he hung it down and swung it back a forth a bit, almost as if pointing.

I looked down and saw four kids about my age walking. One of the kids, the only girl of the group, had her arm draped over one boy's shoulder. The boy, wearing black glasses, looked quite sad about something or another. On the other side of the sad boy were two more. One was dressed in green with brown hair and had his hands jammed in his pockets. The other was dressed in purple and had blonde hair with a strange purple spot in the middle. They were talking in low voices, but I could hear them perfectly.

"'S alright Jeremie. We can work on the program tomorrow after school," said the brown haired boy. The girl nodded.

"Yeah. It's probably Xana doing this to you. He obviously doesn't want to complete that program."

"Don't worry. I don't mind kicking his ass one more time," the boy in purple clothes said with a grin. "I love watching him lose to us." The boy with the glasses sighed.

"But what if we lose to him one day? Then I'll never be able to materialize Aelita for sure," he said sadly.

"But he's not gonna win against us Jeremie. We're smarter than he is," the brown haired boy said with a sly grin. The girl nodded.

"He's right you know," she said.

"Yeah, I bet- OOF!" The blonde exclaimed as he tripped and went into the most perfect face-plant I'd ever seen. I bit my lip to contain my laughter, but my eyes widened in shock as soon as I realized just what he had tripped over. It was my bag. A small, worn brown leather backpack thing that I've had for years. The only things it had in there was my Sugarcult CD, Three Days Grace CD, Guns N Roses CD, two five inch daggers, and my CD player. But the thing I was really worried about was what was written on the inside. My name. I was frozen with the fear that they would look up and see me there. So I did the only thing I could do at the moment: stayed still and watched.

"What the hell-?" The blonde said. Jeez, I thought. He's got a mouth like my step-granddad on a good day. He crouched down and picked up my backpack. He reached in and pulled out my CD's.

"Who's ever this is, they've got good taste in music," he said, looking at the CD covers.

"Well don't just look at the CD's. See who's it is. Maybe it's someone from our school," the brown haired boy said. I placed my hand on Shadow and pointed to my bag.

"Get it," I said, my voice just barely a whisper. Shadow leapt down in front of the kids, making them jump back in surprise. They didn't know he was tame. Shadow ran in front of them and grabbed one of the backpacks leathery straps in his mouth and dragged it into the bushes. I pulled the hood of my hoodie up over my head and prepared to jump. Making sure they wouldn't be able to see me or the logo on my hoodie, and jumped down in front of them. The girl grabbed the brown haired boy's arm and let out a small scream.

"Holy cow! Who are you?!" The blonde haired boy exclaimed. I let out a howl and Agrona came out of the bushes. I motioned for her to follow me and together we ran into the bushes and out of sight. I quickly climbed up a tree and watched their reactions with a small grin on my face. They were standing in shock staring at the place where I had disappeared. Finally, the girl spoke up.

"Who was that?" She asked, still clutching the arm of the brown haired boy. He slowly shook his head.

"I don't know. Definitely not anyone I know," said the blonde.

"You'd better leave the CD's here Odd. That person might come back and get pretty mad if they're not here," the brown haired boy nodded and set the CD's back on the ground.

"Let's go you guys," he said, looking at the CD's skeptically. The four of them turned around and began walking to where ever they were going. I jumped down and landed as silently as a cat, grabbed my CD's, and took off. The blonde haired boy looked back. When he saw the CD's were gone, he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Still gone. He shook his head in disbelief and caught up with his friends. I climbed higher up into a tree and looked over the treetops. They were headed toward some kind of school.

"School huh? I'll go and enroll myself. Maybe I'll even find a place to stay till life summons me somewhere else. Either that or the cops find me and decide to question me," I said. I climbed down and found Agrona and Shadow sitting at the base of the tree waiting for me. Shadow leapt up into my arms and I bent down and scratched Agrona behind the ears. Her hind foot started to thump up and down on the ground. A sign she enjoyed it. I turned around, with shadow still in my arms, and patted my thigh, signaling for Agrona to follow me. We walked for a while until I found an old shed deep in the woods. It was definitely old, that I could tell. I cautiously opened the door and peered inside. There wasn't much except for a moth eaten blanket and a broken mattress. The springs were sticking out of the sides. Someone must have lived here, like, back in the last Ice Age... I thought. But it was the only place that would allow shelter if a sudden storm or anything came up during the night.

I shook the blanket out to make sure it wasn't infested with maggots or something. I carefully laid down on the mattress, grimacing as I did so. Shadow jumped up on the mattress and curled up at my feet. Agrona curled up right next to the mattress and fell asleep instantly. I followed soon after, falling into an uneasy sleep where nightmares of my step-grandfather murdering my grandmother played and replayed in my mind.

well there's my first Code Lyoko ficcy! Chapter one of it at least. Don't worry people the whole story won't be in the girl's PoV. Just this one. Please R/R! Can't you hear it? The little button down there is calling your name...hehe .
