Chapter Three
Forest Life And Thumps"Don't worry Aelita, Peter is right this part of Lyoko is to dangerous for us, we should move some place safer. And besides, I thought you'd be happy to move, after all. You hate thunder storms don't you?" Her mother said.
" Not enough to leave MY home! You father and Aries can go but I'm staying!" And with that, Aelita ran dropped her school books and ran as fast is she could down to the see shore. Being a copy cat, Aries joined her.
"Aelita! Aries! Come back!" Their mother raced after them only to be stopped by their father.
"No, don't, let them cry. You knew this wasn't going to be easy for them and neither is the packing so we should get started now."
"But, what about dinner?" She asked.
"We can order something and besides, you don't really feel like cooking anything do you?" Mrs. Alo shook her head.
"I'm not even hungry, I lost my appetite."
"So did I. Let's get some boxes and start packing."
Two weeks later, everybody was packed up and got on the train to their new home. When Aelita first saw I she thought it was some kind of joke. Her new home was a tall, thin, tower with vines crawling up it.
'Perfect just perfect.' Aelita thought 'For the rest of my life I'm going to have to live in a tower.'
Their parents explained to them that the tower was very safe and nothing could penetrate the walls ever. For the first week Aelita stayed in her room only coming out for meals and the school train. As Aelita came down for breakfast one morning her parents heard her say the first five words since they got here almost two weeks ago.
"I want to go home." She complained o her mother and father.
"Don't worry Aelita honey." Her father said "Things will get better soon. I promise."
Well I hope so." Aelita said crossly " Or I'm find some other place to live!" She yelled running out to wait for the train.
That night, as Aelita lay in bed trying to sleep, she hear soft thumps. At first she thought Aries was doing it, but the she realized it was coming from out side the tower. The thumps go louder and louder until the were right under the tower! Aelita began to scream and just as she did the thumps stopped. She sat up in bed and started asking Aries if he heard what she did. Thinking he was with her parents, he went down the hall to he parents room. They weren't there, Aelita looked every where around the house but couldn't find them. Her family had vanished!
