Chapter Seven: Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite
Yumi and Aeltia settled down in their beds and feel asleep. Ulrich was working on homework, Odd was listening to music, while Jeremy was working on the anti-virus program for Aelita. Slowly someone creped by the Odd and Ulrich's door. Then he creped by Jeremy's door. Next he came to Yumi and Aelita's door. He used a card to swipe open the lock. He then walked in and shut the door. He checked to make sure they were both asleep by listening to their breathing. When he was positive they were asleep William gently tied a sliver bracelet onto Yumi's wrist. He pushed a button and it gently started to blink. He then tied Yumi's feet together, and taped her mouth shut. He then gently tied, the hand without the bracelet on it, to her bed frame. He then went over to Aelita's bed, lifted her up and slipped out the door. Unfortunately for him, the wind slammed it shut behind him. Their window was open. Yumi tried to sit up but realized one of her arms was tied up. She went to untie it but when she moved her hand a jolt of electricity surged though her. She screamed. When she stopped moving the electricity stopped. She tried to free herself again, but it was no use. She finally resorted in kicking the wall. Jeremy was next door and heard the pounding. In Jeremy's head-
"They are kind of loud tonight." I though. But the noise kept coming. I knocked on the wall, the kicking stopped for a minute then I heard a scream. I jumped up and ran to their room, calling Ulrich on the way. "Ulrich get over to Aelita and Yumi's room now!" I screamed and ended the call. I opened their door and flipped on the lights. I saw Yumi tied up screaming in pain, their appeared to be electricity flowing through her. I looked over and saw Aelita's bed empty. End Jeremy's head-
Jeremy ran over and Yumi stopped moving, slowly the electricity stopped coming. Ulrich appeared in the door way and ran in. Jeremy went to untie her feet, while Ulrich un-did the tape on her mouth and untied her hand. Odd appeared next, sleepy but there. Yumi tried to sit up but she screamed in pain. Jeremy noticed that the electricity seemed to come from a bracelet she wore.
"Yumi stop moving for a second. I know how to stop it." Jeremy said. Ulrich tried to calm her down and slowly she quit moving. Jeremy un-did the clasp on the bracelet. Yumi gently moved her hand and saw there was no electricity. She jumped out of bed, only to loose her balance and sit back down.
"Where is Aelita?" Jeremy asked.
"I….I don't know. I heard the door slam shut then I tried to move but I couldn't." Yumi replied.
"Odd and Jeremy, you two go look for her, I'll stay with Yumi." Ulrich said. Jeremy nodded running out. He grabbed Odd's hand before Odd could say anything about them staying together.
"Look I see something in the woods," Odd said. Jeremy and Odd ran after it. Odd's guess was right for it slipped down into the sewers. Jeremy jumped down after him, while Odd made his way down the ladder. Jeremy was ahead, but Odd was close behind him. They could see a person holding another person. The figure ran all the way to the second hatch and climbed up the ladder. Jeremy reached up and grabbed his shoe. He pulled them down, catching Aelita though, and William fell into the water.
"X.A.N.A," Odd said. Jeremy helped Aelita up the ladder, with Odd right behind them.
"We need to get to the factory then," Jeremy said. They rushed to the elevator with Jeremy practically carrying Aelita. Odd hit the button and the elevator went down.
"Here I'll take her from here," Odd said as the door opened at the supercomputer room. Jeremy nodded and gave Aeltia to Odd. He ran towards his chair. Odd hit the button and zoomed down to the scanner room. He helped Aelita into her scanner and then climbed into his.
"Transfer Odd, transfer Aelita, scanner Odd, scanner Aelita, Virtualization!" Jeremy said.
Back With Ulrich and Yumi.
"Are you alright?" Ulrich asked after Jeremy ran out.
"Yea, but we should go help them," Yumi answered. Ulrich nodded his head. He and Yumi ran off to follow them. They could hear Odd and Jeremy going down into the sewers. By the time they reached the man-hole they were gone. Yumi and Ulrich climbed down and ran to catch up. They could hear voices from inside the tunnel, but they were very far up ahead.
"Do you think they are okay?" Yumi asked.
"We'd better hope so," Ulrich answered. They got to the second ladder and found William in the water. They watched as a black blob flew out of him and flew into the water. They fished William out and let him rest on the ground. Suddenly a wave, controlled by X.A.N.A came up and washed Yumi into the water.
"Yumi!" Ulrich shouted. But she was gone.
