Boulevard de la Croisette

Chapter 2

They walked and walked and walked. Signs of pure destruction. There eyes were distraught. The sun beamed on them. They were tired. Was this hell? Or worse?

Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy and Aelita continued their search for the two boys and Yumi.

"What time could it be?" Asked Odd.

"Who knows, I had a watch but it probably washed away." Said Jeremy.

"Ulrich stop walking so fast be careful you can hurt yourself." Aelita was concerned for his friends.

"We have to keep walking in order to find Yumi before sun sets down. She can be everywhere!"

"We know Ulrich but you need to relax-"

"Relax, you want me to relax? Yumi is out there somewhere WITH 2 KIDS GOD KNOWS WHERE AND THEY COULD BE HURT! I mean you wouldn't know how I feel Jeremy is fine, not one scratch on him!" Ulrich roared like a lion. He was upset. Upset that his love of life was no where to be found. He continued to walked , puffing along , the gang followed behind him.

"YUMI! , JOHNNY!" Hiroki panicked. His heart racing. They got separated. 'Fucking stupid water' he thought. Just then he heard his name.

It was Johnny.

"Johnny! Your ok!"

"Yea I'm ok , Yumi passed out, but she's breathing, we need to find some shelter or something. We need to contact the others." Johnny ordered. Hm. But just where.

"I mean where were surrounded by Shit and more shit." Said Hiroki. He looked at Yumi.

"Sis wake up. Please wake up." Her eyes flickered open. Just then Johnny came

Back running, he hadn't noticed he left actually. He came back with a cellphone.

"Look, it's still working!" Yelped Johnny.

"Great! Let's try to call them!"

"Yumi , what's their numbers, please stay awake, you"ll make it through.

Yumi half Alive almost managed to spit out there numbers , she had a terrible headache, she felt weak, she was thirsty, hungry and in pain. Hiroki dialed Ulrich's and Odd's numbers. No answer.

Aelita's Number was next.

No answer.

"Cmon please answer please!" Hiroki hissed. He was frustrated. He had one number to call.

Jeremy's.

"Stupid reception.." Murmured Jeremy, he was the only one left with his phone considering he hadn't gone in the water.

"Still nothing Jer?" Asked Ulrich.

"No nothing ye-wait I got a bar, two bars actually!" Just then it ranged.

He couldn't recognize the number, he answered friskly, almost dropping his phone.

"Hello?" Jeremy gulped. Everybody was waiting for the response.

"Jeremy! Oh my thank fucking god you answered. Jeremy were stranded somewhere! And Yumi's really hurt!"

"Hiroki! Please try to tell us where you are!" Just then Ulrich snatched the phone.

"Hiroki it's Ulrich, how are you guys , Yumi?"

"Ulrich , were fine but...Yumi is really hurt. She has a open cut in her leg and around her waist and back." Hiroki was scared , he swallowed hard, he couldn't break down now. Too late, he was whimpering through the phone.

"Please Ulrich I don't want her to die.

Just then the connection started breaking up.

"Hiroki! Can you hear me !? Please

Tell me where you are !?"

No response

"Hiroki!"

"Ulrich!" Hiroki damned himself. The phone died .

"Ulrich what did he say!" Asked Odd.

Ulrich tried to speak, if he did, he would start crying. His voice cracking. He gulped hard, his throat hurt.

"Yumi's in trouble. He said she's badly injured with open wounds..." He breathed hard. We have to find her before it's too late!"

Hiroki and Johnny helped Yumi sit up.

She finally spoke.

"Before anything, you guys need to stay together, don't let me slow you down."

"What are you saying Yumi!" Yelled Hiroki. "We're not leaving you! I'm not

Leaving you!"

"I'm the adult here, do as I say, no matter what." Said Yumi. She was in so much pain. She couldn't process everything that had happened.

Was she more dead than alive Was the last thought she had before passing out.
