Sorry it took me a while to update, but FanFiction was all screwed up or something. Anyway, thanks for the reviews. I love all my reviewers! Be prepared, because this chapter is all about Olivia's wonderful secret and her wonderful past! (Sarcasm) Oh yeah, to answer Struggling Artist's question about the third chapter, well it's simple. Odd didn't believe that Olivia was really a polymorph, and everyone felt sorry for him, so they decided to give Olivia a chance and see if the whole news about Lyoko surprised her or not. It's hard to describe, but at the end of the chapter, I'll explain it. Thank you for the criticism, because actually, I never thought about it before. Thank you! Oh yeah, and I have decided to give a shout out to all of my reviewers! Here they are: mageintheshadows DragonTribeLeader925: StrugglingArtist: Mara Earth Silver HAWKEYE: k9kat: killerpurplekitten: Ratiosu: purplelover Frog Disease Angel n' Dreams and LyokianDestiny!

Claimer: I do own Olivia, her brand new Lyoko form, her newly revealed past and secret, etc.

Inside the Tower

As Olivia said the words "Tower Deactivated," streams of blue data that lined the walls of the tower began to descend into and infinite abyss. Time for Olivia almost seemed to stop. Everything was going too fast, yet Olivia couldn't help but enjoy it in every way possible. Thoughts ran through her mind by the millions, but only a select few caught her eye. She just moved to a really great boarding school, made a handful of wonderful friends, and was now part of a world-saving team! Everything was too perfect!

As Olivia sat there in the tower, overwhelmed by the moment, everyone else outside were cheering and questioning the recent event.

"That was amazing! I…I can't believe it. Did you see Olivia's second form? It was so cool! She was a wolf! A real, yet oversized, wolf! And did you see what she just did? She deactivated the tower! I didn't think anyone else could do it but Aelita!" Odd rushed through his whole speech as fast as he normally ate his food. That's pretty fast!

"Dido, I didn't think it was possible either. But if it weren't for Olivia, X.A.N.A would have sent the Scyphozoa for Aelita easily!" Ulrich added.

"I agree; it was great! I can't believe it either, but it did happen," Yumi pointed out. Everyone was thrilled, but now, it wasJeremie's time to express his highly overwhelmed position.

"That was more than amazing, it was fantastic! I never knew that someone else could deactivate towers, or I would have seen it in Franz Hopper's diary or in the supercomputer at some point! There has to be a catch to all of this. Hmm, maybe Lyoko has a way of detecting Aelita's brain waves, or maybe…"

"Jeremie, we all understand that you're excited, but school just ended and I want to sleep in my dorm, not in the Lyoko," Odd interrupted. Jeremie slapped his forehead.

"Sorry Odd, but you'll have to go through the last half of school again. I have to launch the return to the past program."

Everyone groaned. "Why? X.A.N.A hasn't even made an attack yet," Yumi said.

"I know Yumi, but with all of Olivia's new data uploaded so quickly in a short period of time, the supercomputer is a little tired out. The only way for me to get you guys out of Lyoko is to launch the return to the past," Jeremie admitted. With that, Olivia stepped out of her daydream.

"Hey Liv, come on out!" Odd yelled. Olivia smiled and hovered to the bottom of the tower and stepped out. Everyone was outside waiting for her, smiling. Aelita was there too, standing straight and tall (A/N: I know she's not tall, but it's an expression), as if she had never been hurt, but she still looked a little dazed.

"Aelita, you're okay!" Olivia yelled in delight. "Are…are you angry?"

Aelita looked confused. "Angry? Why would I be angry? If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't be here! I'm not angry at all," Aelita replied with a smile. Olivia sighed with relief. Just then, Odd ran over and slung his arm around her shoulder and started babbling off the hook. It seemed really corny, but Olivia couldn't help but blush a bright apple red at his insane compliments.

"This girl is probably the best fighter on the team now! I mean, she was the first to destroy two monsters at the same time in a split second! No offense to anyone," Odd said. Everyone just waved their hands.

"None taken," they all said in unison. Odd and Olivia laughed at their answers, and it didn't take long for the rest of them to join in on the fun.

Olivia then looked over Yumi's shoulder to see a large, white light that was slowly enlarging and getting closer. "Hey Odd," she said, gently shaking his shoulder and pointing into the horizon, "What's that?" Odd looked in the direction of Olivia's finger.

Odd just shrugged. "It's just the return to the past program, no biggie. It's just a big, white thingy that moves over the entire universe and makes us all go back in time a couple of hours. No one will remember a thing except us."

Olivia nodded. "Oh," she replied. She stalled for moment to watch the white luminosity gradually coming closer. She sighed and kicked around a few loose rocks from her white boots. Surprisingly, everyone was still, as if she and the others were sharing the same thought. She decided to break the silence. "So, when do we get to come back?" Olivia asked with a gentle grin.

"Oh, I don't think we'll have to come back for a while, maybe even a week or two!" Jeremie announced happily.

Olivia suddenly felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest. Her body stiffened and her eyes started to swell. She stopped breathing all together, she stopped smiling, and she stopped thinking. Everything had gone horribly wrong. Her hopes were crushed. Unable to comprehend, she walked a little closer to the light, hoping to catch it like a train before the others.

No one seemed to notice Olivia's teary eyes, except Odd. At first, he thought she was just anxious to feel to return to the past for the first time, but seeing her cerulean eyes sink and her cheeks redden, he began to re-think it. Seeing Olivia so upset made his own heart sink, and seeing the beautiful hue in her eyes darken upset him even more.

He walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "Liv, you okay?" he asked worriedly. Olivia barely moved her head to face him. She just shifted the weight on her feet. With no answer from her, Odd tried to cheer her up.

"C'mon, Olivia! I can't think of any reason to be upset! You did some kick-butt fighting! It was amazing! And since you know what you can do, I can't wait to see how you will fight next time!" he reassured. He went to her side and slung his arm around her shoulders and took a good look at her face. Olivia's tear stained cheeks and hue less eyes almost completely tore Odd apart. He always knew that when you cried your eye color changed a bit, but he hoped it would never happen to Olivia. Her blue eyes were too lovely to fight with. Even worse, her head was hung so low, he thought it would touch the ground.

Finally, she looked up. Her voice was rasping and rugged, as if she had run across the whole country. "Odd, I'm not coming back…ever!"

Odd didn't understand, but it was too late. She was already engulfed, as well as him, in the return to the past program. Thinking it was only his imagination, he forced himself to completely forget.

In the Lunchroom, a Few Hours Ago

"I still can't believe it happened! It's all so fascinating, yet confusing at the same time. Franz Hopper could have left us a clue or something about a secondary program that could deactivate towers like Aelita! It makes no sense! Thankfully, without Olivia, Odd would have been helpless to protect Aelita from wandering monsters and the Scyphozoa at the same time! What else is good is that Aelita won't be replaced, since Olivia got the instinct after Aelita went unconscious. Maybe later today we can check if Olivia…" Jeremie rambled on and on until Aelita and Yumi covered his mouth.

"You know Jeremie; everyone is going to find out about Lyoko if you keep talking!" Aelita laughed. Everyone else, except Olivia, laughed along with her.

Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi, and Ulrich were sitting on one side of their table with Odd and Olivia across from them. Since they launched the program, Olivia's tears dried up, but she remained solemn and quiet, looking down at her food and playing with it with her fork. No one seemed to notice.

Odd finally stopped eating for a minute to say something. "Hey Olivia," he started, pausing for a minute to swallow a chunk of food. "You did a great job fighting in Lyoko! Wait, I already mentioned that didn't I? Yeah, anyway, you have just got to be as tired as me when I arrive at math class everyday…"

Jeremie interrupted. "When you hear Odd saying something like that, you must be tired!" Jeremie joked. Odd blushed a bright red and gave Jeremie an angry glare.

Aelita just shook her head and patted Olivia's elbow. "Don't worry about him; he always tries to make himself sound funny." Olivia didn't notice.

"Keep going Odd," Ulrich instructed.

Odd cleared his throat again. "Anyhow, I was just thinking…" Odd started, "since Olivia did a great, kick-butt job in Lyoko, I was thinking, well, since it's a Friday, I thought all of us could go out to a little restaurant in town, or ice-cream or something? You know, just to celebrate Olivia coming to…"

Surprisingly, Olivia did something much unexpected. As Odd was about to say the last of his speech, Olivia slammed her utensils against the table, stood up, and knocked her chair over. She clearly couldn't keep her tears locked up forever. Everyone at the table jumped.

"I told you already, I'm not going back there ever again! Ever!" Olivia cried and ran towards the lunchroom exit. Sadly, bumping into Sissi.

"I knew one day that you would get sick of those dorks! I don't blame you for being too naïve!" Sissi said elegantly. Olivia pushed her out of the way and ran out of the lunchroom.

"Well I never!" Sissi smirked and strutted through the lunchroom.

Everyone was frozen solid, paralyzed by Olivia's recent action. Aelita hung her head. "We should talk to her," she said gloomily while running her fingers over her water. Odd shook his head.

"I'm so stupid!" Odd mumbled to himself, looking extremely guilty.

"When did you figure that out?" Yumi said, obviously concerned for Olivia. To Yumi, Olivia was like the little sister she never had.

Odd ignored the comment. "She told me in Lyoko before we went back in time that she didn't want to go back there, but I thought that I was just imagining it! No, I'll talk to her, it's my fault for not listening," Odd admitted, bashing his hands into his head.

Everyone nodded. "Be careful Odd, when a girl is upset, saying the wrong thing will make her hate you forever!" Yumi warned.

Ulrich winked. "Go get her, tiger."

Odd blushed, stood up, and walked out of the lunchroom. 'Hopefully,' he thought, 'I won't screw up, I'll help her.'

Outside of Olivia's Dorm

Odd began to feel butterflies poking nervously at his stomach as he approached Olivia's door. He took a deep breath and knocked.

"Olivia, you okay?" Odd put his ear against the door to listen for, anything actually. All he heard was Olivia's sobbing. He knocked again.

"Please Olivia, can I come in?" He asked again. Olivia's crying calmed a couple of notches, and without asking a third time, he pushed the door open. The first thing he saw was Olivia sitting on her bed, head hung low with wet and redden cheeks. But her eyes, her eyes were too difficult for Odd to handle. Her normally bright and serene eyes were now swollen, and looked as if bits and pieces of darkness were slowly permeating through at every second. Such things like that were easily overlooked, like minor transgressions a young child would make everyday. Easily forgotten. But Olivia was different. When you have the eyes of a goddess, such things were immediately noticed.

Odd shivered. He hated seeing Olivia like this two times in a row. He shut the door behind him and sat down next to her. She was utterly silent. She didn't even look at him. All she did was stare at the floor.

Odd's heart started to beat wildly. A list of possible words flew through Odd's head, but not one of them seemed right enough to say. So, he did the simplest thing he could think of. He took his arm and wrapped it around Olivia's shoulder tightly and shook her a little.

"Olivia, please, what's going on? You looked so happy in Lyoko! Why don't you want to go back? I thought you loved it there."

No answer.

"Olivia?" Odd asked again, lowering his head a little closer to hers. Olivia shivered, and finally looked up at his face. Odd was shocked by the way she looked. Her whole forehead was sweaty, her blue eyes were nothing but a streak of ominous navy, and her cheeks were redder then he had imagined. He waited patiently for her to speak.

"Odd…if you really understood why I came to Kadic, it would make sense…" She said blankly, almost careless. Odd raised his eyebrow.

"Maybe if you tell me, I will understand," Odd said. Olivia hung her head again.

"I…I can't. It's too, how should I put this…haunting. I don't want to relive it again! Just saying it makes it all come back…" she managed to get out through her tears. Every word came out choked. Odd frowned. He managed to wrap his arm tighter around her shoulders, making her head gently rest on his own shoulder. He rubbed her shoulder soothingly.

"Maybe I can help…if you try to explain," Odd said in an almost humorous voice, trying to lighten the last of Olivia's spirits.

With that, Olivia's eyes shot open. She pulled away from Odd's grip and ran towards her desk. She opened a tiny drawer that was barley noticeably and rummaged through dozens of stationary. She reached in and pulled out a large, yellow packet, a little pale with age and lack of sunlight. She walked back to Odd.

"If you want to know what's really wrong with me," she started a little assertively, thrusting the packet towards him. Her eyes continued to swell until she couldn't hold them any longer, "read this!" She choked once more, put the packet on Odd's lap, let out a small cry, and ran out of her room and slammed the door behind her.

Odd didn't bother to follow her. All he could focus on was the folder that he was given. He stared at the packet for a while. He didn't know how to react. This packet, with his guess, was full of contents that explained Olivia's every reason of coming to Kadic. You would expect him to be nervous. It's not every day you get to learn a dark secret.

Odd frowned. 'Luck,' he thought, 'I thought I was just lucky to meet a great girl like Olivia, but I guess I was wrong…as always!'

His fingers trembled as he slowly began to lift open the flap of the packet. When it was fully open, he peered in. Odd was amazed by the innumerable amounts of papers, pictures, and newspaper clippings, and even more amazed by Olivia's neatness! As he could tell, Olivia had arranged every bit of paper in the packet in order from things distant in the past, to events that more recently occurred.

Odd's heart beat wildly. He took a long, deep breath, and took out the first thing in Olivia's order. It was a picture.

Odd expected the picture to look depressing, but to his revelation, he was wrong. (A/N: I know Odd is like, always wrong, but he is always so full of himself and thinks…differently.) The picture was actually quite happy, extremely happy to be exact. Odd checked the date of when the picture had been taken. It said '6-2-99.' Odd knew from Olivia that her birthday was on June 2 and she was born in 1992, but this picture was taken in1999, when Olivia had just turned seven years old. Odd finally dismissed the little math review and took a good look at the picture. He couldn't help but smile.

The picture was taken in the backyard of an abnormally large, pale brick house, almost like a mansion! It was during, with Odd's guess, Olivia's seventh birthday party. Her yard had been decorated in two major colors: blue and white. The house had been adorned with streamers, party hats (blue and white of course), and a large poster with the words HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY OLIVIA! done in blue crayon. In the middle of the picture was a petite, light brown haired girl in a lacy blue, short sleeved shirt wearing a white skirt (A/N: Her outfit in my story didn't change until she was 12 to 13 years old). Her hair was up in a ponytail.

Odd had the immediate guess that it was Olivia, only noticing that she didn't have her trademark blue highlights (A/N: I don't know any seven year old that does). Behind her was a nice looking couple, probably in their late twenties or early thirties. 'Olivia's parents,' Odd thought. Olivia took a lot after her mother, who was a very serene looking woman with flowing, brown hair and a beautiful face. By the looks of her outfit, she had a passion for tranquil colors, like pale yellows and white.

The other adult, Olivia's father, didn't share much of a resemblance to his daughter, and had a very different profile than that of his wife! Her father was a tall, good-looking man with sandy blonde hair. He was well muscled and showed an expression of a joyful child about to learn how to ride a bike! But Odd could tell where Olivia had gotten such beautiful eyes, from her father. His eyes were more of a navy blue rather than a light cerulean, but it made sense. He also showed love for more exotic and loud colors, like blues and greens.

Odd examined the background and the guests at the party, but then he came across something that took his eye immediately. Next to Olivia were two other girls, probably two years older than Olivia, but shared quite a resemblance, to each other and Olivia! The two girls looked exactly alike! The pair of girls even inherited some qualities of Olivia's parents! Both of the girls had long, sandy blonde hair and a nice-looking face like Olivia's, but their eyes were different. One girl had Olivia's mother's jade green eyes while pointing excitedly to Olivia's cake, while the other had pale, aqua green eyes,who was resting with her head lethargically on her hands. 'Olivia has two, older twin sisters? She never told me anything,' Odd thought. (A/N: Okay, if you are confused, I'll explain. Olivia's parents had identical twins, and then two years later, Olivia came. On to the story.)

The last thing that Odd had noticed was Olivia's present. In the picture, she was just pulling out a pair of her very first running shoes. Olivia was crying with delight as she pulled out the shoes. Odd smiled so warmly and completely forgot about the reason that the picture was in his hands in the first place. Only until he reached to grab the folder did he remember. Yet, he didn't understand why Olivia would put such a joyful picture into a folder that contained other things of suffering and sadness. He slipped the picture back in, reached in, and pulled out the next item, this time, was an old diary entry.

The page was crumpled and old, and has the handwriting of an eight year old, but Odd could just barely make out the words.

Dear Diary, today I just turned…8 years old! I had a lot of fun! Kathryn bought me a brand new pair of really cute shoes! Kayla taught me how to run really fast! I actually beat her!

Odd chuckled at how expressive Olivia was in her writing, even as an eight year old. Well, now he knew that Olivia loved to run, and her sister's names were Kathryn and Kayla. Odd put the entry back and rummaged through the folder again. He came across numerous diary entries, pictures, and cards from relatives. He enjoyed seeing things that happened while Olivia was growing up in her life. He understood Olivia's passion for running, how her sister Kayla taught her how to run, and how much she enjoyed shopping with her other sister Kathryn. He guessed that Kayla, being fast and anxious, was the one with the jade green eyes (the one that was pointing excitedly at the cake), and Kathryn was the one with the aqua green eyes (the one who was resting and staring into space). (A/N: if you are confused, look back up at the picture sequence.)

Odd kept going through every single piece of picture or paper in the folder until he got to a time line when Olivia was twelve near thirteen. Now the diary entries turned into certificates. One certificate said 'For First Place in the New York Middle School's Sprint Team, We Award This Certificate to Olivia Allen.' Odd came across many more first place certificates and ribbons that Olivia had received. He smiled widely when he found a picture of Olivia in her track uniform, being hoisted up happily by other girls in the same uniform. In her hand, Olivia held up a gold trophy.

Odd smiled at the picture for a while until he came to his senses that there were still more things to look at. He picked up another picture that was almost torn in half completely, only to be help by a small fragment of photo. Odd put the two half's back together. The picture formed into a boy, about Olivia's height, blonde hair, wearing black pants, a red t-shirt, and a gray jacket. He was smiling and giving Olivia a huge hug while she was holding her trophy. Odd frowned at the sight, thinking that Olivia already had a boyfriend. He turned the picture around to see Olivia's handwriting say 'Me and Brian, my EX-boyfriend.' Odd sighed with relief. At least he knew that Olivia was now available, and hated her ex. Sadly, he would have to go through more pieces of paper until he could find out Olivia's secret. But first, he willingly tore the picture in half and put it back.

The next thing that he pulled out was a newspaper clipping. Odd took one look at the title and his eyes went wide with horror. The title was 'Track Star Suffers Near-Death Injuries.' Odd's heart stopped. It was the front page of the old newspaper with a picture of a brown haired, blue highlighted girl being hoisted in an ambulance. "Olivia…" Odd mumbled. He started to read the article about how Olivia had been hospitalized.

'At 4:30 pm at the New York Middle school Track Meet, a sprinting legend suffered a terrible fall during the Sprint Team's race. Olivia Allen, the victim, had been sent to the hospital after suffering serious injuries. What the actual injuries are, are unknown. From eye witness reports, a rival track star had been head to head with Allen as they had approached the finish line. Out of jealousy, the rival literally twisted Allen's leg, making her tumble andbreak both legs and uncovering black eyes and cuts. She didn't even make it to the finish line.'

Odd couldn't even breathe. He read over the rest of the article and went wild-eyed at every word. When his lungs finally screamed for air, he started to pant and sweat. He couldn't look at the article anymore, and finally put it back in the folder. He took out what looked like to be the last thing inside. He pulled out a manila folder and opened it. It was a hospital report.

The report summarized that Olivia had torn almost every muscle in both of her legs and both of her thighs, including almost thirty cuts, enormous bruises, and large gashes in her knees. Odd felt choked even reading about it. When he turned to the next page, he felt as if all the wind had been knocked out of him. He dropped the folder on the floor.

In the middle of the second page was a picture of Olivia in a hospital bed. Odd looked as if he was about to cry (he didn't obviously). Knowing that he had to look at it sooner or later, he reached down with a trembling hand, and picked it up. He looked over the horrific picture over and over until he couldn't take it anymore. Olivia was lying in a hospital bed, eyes closed. Her face was like a World War III. Both of her eyes were black and blue, her cheeks were covered in dirt and layered with dozens of bloody cuts, and her face showed an expression of guilt and sadness. What was even worse was a picture of Olivia's legs. Both knees were badly gashed and red with blood. Her legs were swollen and roughly scratched. Her thighs were covered in large cuts and bruises that not even the mortal eye could handle. On the back it said, 'It is possible that she may not be able to ever run again.' Odd finally stopped torturing himself and closed the folder and put it back in the drawer. Then he walked out of Olivia's dorm to find her. As he walked down the hall, he had an idea of exactly where she was. The track field.

The Track Field

Odd arrived at the track field in the midst of sunset, but there was still enough light to cover the rest of the bleachers and the field for him to search for Olivia. He started in the bleachers, moving his head worriedly in every direction possible to catch even a glimpse of her. No luck in the first section. He trotted down the bleachers to search in the middle section, until he saw her. She wasn't in the bleachers. She was standing on the track field's finish line.

Olivia wasn't crying anymore, but her cheeks were stained, her eyes were dark, and she was staring into the setting sun, or more likely, space. She stood with her back turned to Odd in a stiff position, with a few sniffs and sighs in between each breath. The glow of the sun covered Olivia's entire body, making each tear that rolled down her face shimmer like gold. Odd slowly walked to the first row of the bleachers and sat down. This time, instead of him going to her, she would have to come to him.

Olivia knew Odd was there. At every step he took, her head twitched and she breathed in heavily every ten steps. Finally, when he stopped and sat down, she knew that she would have to look at him sooner or later. She knew how much Odd cared about her, and she was positive about how she cared for him. She couldn't hold it back. She picked sooner. She took in a deep breath, and turned her head towards him, revealing half of her face.

"Hi, Odd…" she choked, yet ina softer tone. Odd's head jerked towards her. He stood up and took a small step towards, knowing that she could break any minute.

"Livi, I didn't mean to…" Olivia could hear the guilt in his voice. Before he could finish his sentence, her heart burst. Thousands of tears spilled through her eyes. 'No…he shouldn't be sorry. This is my fault, not his. I'm the one with the pain, not him. He shouldn't have to suffer because of my past!' She turned around and faced him completely. She couldn't hold anything back. It was too strong.

Olivia jogged to him as fast as she could (she can't run remember?), feeling a little pain at every step. Odd already had his arms outstretched for her. When she got to him, she basically collapsed in his arms. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, and Odd did the same to her. She rested her head on his shoulder and let every single tear out. Odd rubbed her backed soothingly.

"It's going to be okay Olivia; it's going to be okay…" Odd whispered in her ear. Olivia had her arms wrapped tightly around Odd's shoulders, and she wasn't prepared to let go. Odd kept his grip around Olivia as long as he felt like it. Odd let go for a minute to lead the girl to the bleachers. He and Olivia sat down next to each other, while Odd put both of his arms around Olivia in a loveable hug, while she returned it. Odd could tell she was trying to hold back more tears, since she had already soaked one of his shoulders, but he didn't care. He patted her back.

"Don't worry 'bout it, Olivia. Just let it all out," Odd reassured her. Olivia was silent, but Odd could feel more tears soaking his shoulder every second. They stayed like that for over a minute, until both of them broke apart, but Odd still kept one arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Both of them were quiet. Neither one of them knew what to say. But, Odd had to hear from Olivia, from her point of view. He had to know what really happened. He needed to understand it through her eyes.

He was shaking all over. "Olivia…" he started. "Tell me. What really happened during your track meet?"

Olivia looked down. Her head wasn't hung as low as it used to have been. And this time, only one tear was shed. She slowly raised her head and looked straight at Odd. She smiled. Her cheeks were stained, but there were no more tears. And this time, her eyes had only specks of black instead of patches. She sighed.

"It was like any old track meet," she started, a little uneasy and shaky. "Not to brag, but to my friends, actually to the whole school, I was the star," Olivia used air quotes at the word 'star,' "My school was really competitive when it came to sports, especially track. So of course, I was popular. I had even beaten the school's record for fastest time! With a reputation like that, you're bound to be known through a couple of schools. Anyway, my sprint team had a really big track meet; so obviously, a lot of people were rooting for me to blow this competition away. For some reason, there was this one girl from a different school that I was racing against, who kept giving me glares and threatening looks. When the race started, she and I were head to head for more than half of the race. But what she didn't know, was about my kick,"

Odd gave her a confused look. "Your kick?"

Olivia nodded. "Yep, my kick. My kick is basically when I use one foot to kick off the ground, which picks up my speed. I could speed up like you could never imagine in a split second! Unfortunately, she could tell by the way one of my legs were moving, that I was about to do something incredible. That girl was so determined to win, that she did something that not even I could guess. She picked up her leg, and hooked it around my kicking foot. Then, she moved her leg upwards and around in every single direction. And since her leg was tangled around mine, anything that she did would happen to my leg, except only I could even hear both of my legs crack. Then she stopped…and kicked against my back. Obviously, she did it while I was still running, so I fell right on my knees! I skidded on my knees for about three feet! Then my knee scratched against a loose rock, which made me trip right on my face. I had gotten this horrible scratch on my nose," Olivia said, gracing her fingers gently over a barely noticeable scar on her nose. Odd leaned in a little closer to see the scar.

"What else happened?" Odd urged her to go on. Olivia just sighed.

"You saw what happened to me. You did see that hospital picture of me didn't you?" Olivia asked with a bit of grief in her voice. Odd could see at the mentioning of her injuries, more pieces of dark were coming through her eyes, but he had to make Olivia let it all out. Keeping it in would only make it worse.

"Yes…I did, and it wasn't a day at the beach experience either," Odd admitted. He managed to make Olivia let out a small giggle. She stayed silent for a couple of seconds, until she knew she would have to explain the rest.

"I'm not going to explain the injuries, since you already saw them, but I will tell you why I can't run anymore. When that girl twisted my legs, she tore most of the really major muscles in my thighs. The doctors tried their best to fix it with surgery, but it was impossible. That girl had torn too many of my muscles and some of the tissue had been torn a little as well. The only way the doctors could help me was by putting a splint on both of my legs until the muscles had stiffened. They're still not healed, only put back together. And now, all that I have left to remind me of the accident are these two scars on my knees, but I don't want to look at them anymore," she finished. Odd could hear each word that came out of her mouth was either choked, regretful, or just plain upsetting. However, Odd was still as confused as ever.

"So, just because you can't go back to Lyoko anytime you want to run, you're just going to give up on it all together? I would be thankful to even be able to run in the first place, even in a parallel universe!" Odd said seriously, yet comical at the same time. Olivia stared at Odd for a while, until she let out a heavy breath, and began to explain something even more humiliating.

"You don't understand Odd. Something else happened when I returned to school from the hospital…" Olivia began solemnly. Odd turned all of his attention to Olivia. He knew that this one was gonna be tough for her to explain.

She shifted her weight a little closer to Odd, and began to tell. "I wasn't given a pleasant welcoming when I got to schoolthat day. Everyone just started to give me stares right out of the blue! My track team didn't even acknowledge that I was right in front of them, my friends just refuse to talk about anything, and Brian…you know who Brian is, right?" Olivia asked a little guilty. A tiny spark in Odd's chest lit up. 'Brian, Liv's ex…' Odd thought. By the way Olivia even said his name; he must have done something horrible to her.

Odd nodded. "Yeah, I know who Brian is."

Olivia nodded also and went back to her story. "Well, Brian and his friends did something to me, that I never even knew coming. I was still able to walk home from school on crutches, since it was really only my kicking leg that had gotten badly injured. My other leg had a very tiny splint on it that I could wear under my clothes. While I was walking home from school, Brian and his friends jumped me," Olivia said, beginning to sob again.

The tiny flame in Odd's chest erupted. "He did what?"

Olivia looked up and nodded, "Uh-huh. At first I didn't know why, but his friends had beaten me up so badly that I…" Olivia was starting to hyperventilate, until Odd finally gestured for her to stop. Olivia let out some more tears, but Odd gently pulled her head to him and let her rest on his shoulder. Odd couldn't believe what he just heard. 'Olivia's old boyfriend beat her up, with his friends? Man, if Brian was here right now, he would be making friends with the worms!' Odd held Olivia tightly until she finally stopped crying. Odd looked at her and smiled. Her eyes were now a bright cerulean, even brighter than he had first met her! Odd knew that if he didn't make Olivia let it all go right then and there, her eyes would never be blue again, and he would never truly understand the real Olivia Allen. He knew that for sure.

Olivia sat up straight and looked at Odd, with a happy grin on her face. "I thought that, if my parents sent me here, the past would be over, everything would be fine, but…" Odd silenced her by waving his hand.

"I think I understand now. The school thought you made yourself trip on purpose didn't they?" Odd asked her deeply. Olivia nodded.

"So, when that happened, you now think that going back to Lyoko, and being limited to go again any time you want to run, it's like the accident all over again for you, isn't it?" It wasn't a question. Odd had simply said it to understand it all. Olivia nodded again and smiled. Her eyes continued to shine.

"That's why I was so nervous in trying to meet you and the rest of the gang. I was scared I would get hurt again…" Olivia admitted. She didn't exactly hang her head, only tilted it low to the side. A tiny piece of hair escaped Olivia's ponytail and swayed in front of her face. Odd leaned in and tucked it behind her ear and lifted Olivia's face up.

"Listen to me, Liv," he started seriously (A/N: That's surprising) "Nobody here would ever hurt you! Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremie, Aelita, and me-especially me- would never even dream of hurting you! Ever! Your parents did a good thing by sending you to Kadic for two reasons: One, if you stayed at your school you would have a lot more injuries than you do now. Two, if your parents hadn't sent you here, you would never have discovered Lyoko…or me and my friends," Odd said. Olivia blushed. She looked up, teary eyed.

"Odd…you and your friends-my new friends-have been the best thing that has ever happened to me…" Olivia managed to get out. Odd started to blush and scratched his shoulder.

"Hey Liv, sorry if I catch you off guard, but…" Odd hesitated, blushing redder than ever. Olivia looked at him, confused.

"Catch me off guard? Catch me off guard from...?" Olivia's question was cut short. Odd had leaned in the middle of her question, and kissed Olivia gently, yet enchantingly, on the lips. The kiss lasted for about seven seconds (A/N: If you took the time to really count seven seconds, it's kind of long), until they finally broke apart. Odd blushed. Olivia was sitting up unnaturally straight, her eyes wide open and staring out into space.

"Sorry 'bout that Liv, I…" Odd was silenced by Olivia who covered his mouth with her hand. She shook her head.

"Stop saying you're sorry! You have absolutely nothing to be sorry about," she said in almost a giggle. She leaned in and returned the favor with a shorter, five second kiss. She pulled away and blushed. Odd smiled.

"Well," he started with a happy grin, "feeling better?"

Olivia nodded and surprised Odd with a tight hug. "Never better!

Odd returned the gesture. "Ready to go back to the school? I'm sure you have some explaining to do."

"Yeah, I guess so," Olivia said standing up. Before Odd and she began to walk to the school, Odd stopped her.

"Do you still want to go back to Lyoko?" he asked her. She nodded.

"I'm more anxious then ever!" she replied. Odd smiled and took another good look at her eyes. Her eyes were now bright blue, her cheeks were dry, and she had the expression of a free spirit. The chaos in Olivia Allen's life was over. (A/N: Spoiler for later chapters: Yeah, for now…)

Odd slung his arm around Olivia's shoulders and led her back to Kadic.

Finally! It took me forever to finish this chapter! But I have to admit, it was really fun to write! I also admit that I think some parts were a little corny. Okay, now I have to answer StrugglingArtist's question: Polymorphs are lifeless and slaves to X.A.N.A, so naturally they know everything about Lyoko. A real person would have that shocked expression after being exposed to Lyoko. A polymorph would have to pretend, and that would be hard for an emotionless blob. So there you have it. If you're still confused, review me and ask me. Oh yeah and there are these four specific stories that I have to recommend:

The River Sector by mageintheshadows

Traveler's Diaries: A Code Lyoko Story by Mara Earth

How they meet by purplelover

Bonds Repaired by StrugglingArtist

These stories and their author's rock people read them! Oh yeah, and leave a review for my story on your way out please! Ok, bye-bye! Also, shouldI introduce Kayla and Kathryn in my sequal? I am most deffiantly doing a sequal.
