a/n:Well hello again! Back to read more I see. Anyways, I want to give a shout out to the two people who r&r'd: ladylyoko, and divinedragon7, these guys have stories too so read them...(whippes out a rusty potato peeler)I SAID READ GOD DAMN IT...enjoy!
Josiane's POV:
Those two guys are sooooo nice. I can't believe it. I thought that I was going to freeze like I usually do in front of people...but, I didn't. Oh well, I guess i'll just enjoy it while I can. I thought as a jogged out onto the field in the assigned teams. Ulrich was placed on the opposite team as myself, and for some reason I wasn't as comfortable as I was when he had been right next to her. That's weird.
I took my designated spot on the field. The good thing was I was placed as the right wingman, bad thing was that William was placed right in front of me. He gave me a smirk and I looked away angry at Jim for sticking him there in the first place. I waited for the ball to be thrown up and then placed on the field patiently. And when it was finally thrown up I rushed towards the ball that had precariously bounced in my direction.
Ulrich was the forward man on the other team and since William had just lost the ball to me he ran forward. Chasing me down the field he didn't catch up with me until I was somewhat close to the net. I saw that a girl named Emily (who was on my side) was running along side me too, so I passed to her just as Ulrich reached out with his foot to take the ball. As the polkadotted ball sailed away from my foot his ensnared itself around my ankles.
"Aaaaahhh!" I yelled out as I went down taking Ulrich down along with myself. Ulrich landed on his back, and immediatly after, I landed on top of him.
I pushed myself up and looked down at him, he was looking up at me with a strange expression on his face. We starred at each other for a few more seconds before I noticed that a slight heat was creeping up to my face, and I turned away. I got up and brushed dirt off of myself.
He stood up and put a hand on my shoulder and asked, "Um, are you, uh, alright?"
"What? Oh yeah, sorry about that." I said the blush fully blossoming to my cheeks.
"No it was my fault. I tripped you." he replied seeing my blush and turning red himself.
Soon after, we resumed play, but even sooner after that the rain bagan to fall upon us. We ran inside and just as Ulrich and I scrambled in through the doors of the gym it really bagan to piss rain. The remainder of the class Jim allowed us to talk, after we had changed. Ulrich, Odd, and me sat there and joked. Ocasionally I would see that Ulrich was watching me talk with Odd. I pretended not to notice, but inside my heart was leaping for joy!
The rest of the day went by in a flash. Well at leased until I got to 6th period...math. (a/n: when she told you that she aced about everything else besides french and stuff...she was lying. She actually is extremely bad at math.) An entire 80min I spent struggling through the problems, and when I stepped out into the pouring rain I had the worst headache and was ready to kill.
Ulrich's POV:
This day was not at all how I thought it was going to be. And what the hell is up with this rain. Drops the size of a button lashed against the officewindows. I sighed and returned to work thinking,beinga secretary for a career will never ever cross my mind ever again after this. Not that it ever would anyways.
Ulrich's POV 2hrs. Later:
I waswalking towardsa hill, and the rain had stopped. The sunset was breathtaking. But then somthing, no, someone caught my eye. She was standing on top of the hill I was heading up. She looked familiar, but I just couldn't place the name. I walked closer, she was very pretty. Her hair was a golden brown and it shown like honey in the dying sunlight. It was very long too, it went down all the way to her lower back. And then I realized who it was. Josiane was standing there. Why though?
"Josiane hey!" I called out trying to get her attention.
She turned, but as soon as she did I wished that I was dead on the spot. All of a sudden a giant black, thing flowed up behind her. As she reached out a hand to me her lower half was engulfed in the black substance. Josiane was jerked away from me, she looed scared and she stretched further towards me. I reached towards her also, but I too felt something pulling me back.
I looked down and saw that the black substance was wrapped around me also, and it was pulling me slowly away. No! I stuggled against the mass that was holding me back. I slowly saw the substance engulf her entire body. All I saw now was her frightened face and that hand still reaching out to me. Then she gasped and her head was gone, as soon as her head dissapeared, her hand began to twitch and struggle to break free. Just like I was doing, except the only things that were being restrained were my legs and arms.
I arched my back, twisted left and right, but I just couldn't break free. Then a horrible sight reached my eyes. Her hand went limp and moved no more. Then my vision went black and I couldn't breath. Someone was yelling my name, but I just couldn't get out.
"No...someone please help!"I yelled into the darkness. Then I jolted up in bed, I saw Odd standing in his pajamas looking at me like I had just been possesed by the devil.
Norm. POV:
"Ulrich are you alright, god man you were begining to scare me there." Odd said still a little freaked out.
"Ugh, I'm ok now. It was just a really bad dream...a really bad dream." Ulrich said putting a shaking hand up to his forehead and resting it there. He felt sick, he was shaking, and had broken out in acold sweat all over.
"Are you sure dude, 'cause you look terrible. Do you want me to get something for you?"
"No, really I'm fine now."
"Well, Jeremie just called and said that this rain is being caused by XANA, he found an activated tower. Do you want me to tell Jeremie that you won't be able to make it or do you thin that you can tough it out?"
"No, I'll come."
"Alright well, hurry up, or else we might not be able to get through the river that is forming around the school." Odd said glancing at Ulrich in case he saw any hint of a lie.
In answer to Odds questioning stare he stood up and went over to their dressor and took out clothes and got dressed quicly. Odd seemed satisfied as they went out the door silently and crept down the stairs. Ulrich was still creeped out by that dream as they stepped out into the storm, but he wadded through the freezing water anyways.
"Transfer Odd, tranfer Ulrich. Scanner Odd, scanner Ulrich. Virtualization."
IN LYOKO:
The two boys landed and looked around, they were in the ice sector.
"Hey Jeremie, where's Aelita?" Odd asked cocking his hand arrow gun and aiming around the area in case of a surprise attack.
"Head south east for 20 yards and you'll find her in an ice cave, and hurry I think the Scithesoa might know that we are here."
"Right...Jeremie, would you mind materialising our vehicles so we won't be too worn out before we get there?" Ulrich said holding back Odd before he started running in the direction Jeremie instructed they should go.
"Oh yeah one second...there! Now hurry up!"
"Alright, alright. Come on Ulrich." Odd said hopping on to his over-board.
Ulrich jumped onto his over-bike and started off. They reached Aelita in under 10 minutes and shot the Scithesoa away from her. Then they battled a few crabs, and got Aelita to the tower in another 10min. Odd had beenshot onetime too many and had re-materialized back to the real world. So, Ulrich was left outin the ice all alone waiting for Aelita to de-activate the tower.
All of a sudden there was a rustling sound from up above himself, and as soon as he looked up his vision was covered by a black cape. Then as the cape was whisked off he felt an arm wrap around his neck.
"Gack!" Ulrich choked ashis windpipe was crushed under the persons arm lying across his neck.
Then he heard something that would haunt his dreams for the rest of his life. The man who was holding him spoke.Thisvoice sent shivers up his spine far worse than what he had experienceda mere 30min. beforehand.
"When you get back to the real world I want you to take a good long look at your new friend Josiane, because it just might be the last. She is a danger to your little group, you may not know who she is...but I do. So if you and your friends know what is good for you, you all will stay away from her! And when she goes missing don't" the man jerked his arm back at his last word " go and try to find her when she supposedly goes 'missing'. Got it kid? She means alot to my plans, and I need her, so don't get in the way! Tell Jeremie won't you?"
And with that the pressure was released and the man dissapeared, but not before Ulrich turned and saw who it was.
"Tower deactivated." Aelita said as she bowed her head, data falling into the data stream below herself.
"Code: Earth!" Jeremie said bringing Aelita back to earth along with Ulrich.
a/n: Sorry for the cliff hanger, but I just couldn't resist! So what do you think? Tell me! r&r! I love talking to you peoples! Next chappie will be up soon! O.o
