Chapter 1- The Warning Signs

Jeremie's room, a dark and rainy day, with Xana gone and nothing to do.

Jeremie's Thoughts

Thinking back to that night I still wonder what happened that night. It was strange. Since then I haven't been the same. I really would like to know want happened that night. I'm sure it had something to do with Xana. But what?

Just then someone knocks on his door.

"Can I come in, Jeremie?"

"Sure, Aelita." Jeremie replied without even needing to ask who it was.

"Hi, Jeremie. What you've been doing today?" She asked.

"Oh, remembering about past experiences." Jeremie replied.

"Really, like what?" Aelita asked, her curiosity aroused.

"That night that I was knocked out by something from the computer."

"Oh, that memory. Sure is one mysterious memory, isn't it." She said, wondering.

"Yeah, I was so sure it had something to do with Xana. But now, I'm not so sure." Jeremie said.

"Oh, well it was probably just nothing important ." Aelita said, sensing a twinge of fear in Jeremie's voice.

"Yeah, I guess so." Jeremie said, relieved to be getting off the subject. Just then Jeremie felt a pain in his chest and started to gasp for air.

"Jeremie, are you ok?" Aelita ask, noticing him gasping.

Moaning "Yeah, just a little tired." Jeremie said, trying not to worry Aelita. But Aelita, being smart, noticed something was wrong.

"Don't give me that. Come on, I'm taking you to the infirmary." Aelita said politely but forcefully. Jeremie decides that arguing with Aelita is pointless, gets up. Walking toward the door with his arm around Aelita to steady himself, groans in pain.

"Come on, lets hurry." Aelita said, worrying about her friend. Walking around the school, also bored, Principle Delmas spots Aelita and Jeremie.

"Ah, hello you two." He said, noticing Aelita's worried look and Jeremie looking very weak asked, "What's wrong with Jeremie, Aelita?

"I don't know, that's why I'm taking him to the infirmary." Aelita responded. At that very moment, Jeremie passes out from the pain and some other unknown cause.

"Jeremie!" Aelita and the principle shouted in unison.

"What's all the commotion about!" Jim shouted, not noticing the principle. "Aelita, what's wrong with Jeremie?"

"Jim, help me carry him to the infirmary." Principle Delmas told Jim.

"What, oh, uh, umm, ok." Jim stuttered, picking Jeremie up.
