Code Lyoko: The Poltergeist
Chapter 1: Very Bad News Indeed.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ANYMORE!" Shouted Ulrich to his Father. "Ulrich get back here right now and apologise!" Mr Stern yelled back.
"NO! I HATE YOU!" Ulrich shouted while running up the stairs. He ran up the stairs, into his room and locked the door. He also barricaded it since he knew his father had a key. He lay down on his bed and thought of his friends, Odd, Jeremie, Aelita and Yumi. It was always the same, on the 3rd and last week of the Christmas holidays Ulrich and his Father would always fight. His Dad couldn't really help it, after being hit over the head with a hammer by a guy in an army coat he had been this way. It was a disorder in the brain, the part of the brain that controls temper. Ulrich just wished he could see Yumi again; he closed his eyes and started dreaming of Yumi…
It was now a week after his argument with his father at his parents' house and was now playing cards with the gang in hid dorm. They were playing rummy and Ulrich suspected he was winning but then Yumi called out, "Rummy!" Ulrich didn't feel to bad about losing to the one that he secretly loved. Ulrich stood up and went out of the dorm to the bathroom. While he was gone there was a knock on the door. Yumi decided to answer it, saying as Odd couldn't be bothered and Jeremie was explaining to Aelita how to actually win at the game. She opened the door and there stood Jim.
"What do you want Jim?" Yumi asked politely.
"Is Ulrich here?" He asked back.
"He's away to the toilet, why do you want him?"
Jim bent down and whispered something into Yumi's ear making her gasp and go white as a sheet.
"Okay, I'll give it to him." Yumi answered.
Jim gave her an envelope and walked back down the hall. Yumi looked to the other end and along came Ulrich, with not a care in the world. That was about to change.
The gang decided to go back to their dorms, Yumi asked Aelita to stay with Jeremie until she came to get her.
Odd went downstairs for a snack and Ulrich was wondering why Yumi hadn't left.
She came over to him and handed him the envelope, said good bye and left.
Ulrich sat on his bed wondering what it was about. A love letter from Yumi? Another letter from his Father?
Ulrich opened it and immediately noticed big blobs on the paper that must be tears.
The note read:
Dear Ulrich,
I know you always argued with your Father ever since the accident he had down in the pub, well now you won't have to anymore. Yesterday he was driving home from work when a train on the tracks next to the road derailed and hit his car head on, he died instantly. I'm so sorry Ulrich.
Yours Sincerley, Your loving Mother. Xxx
Ulrich felt tears streaming down his cheeks as he fell to his knees. His father…was dead.
