A Love Forgotten

Chapter 2:Reunited At Last

`*flashback*

"Aelita!" I screamed, falling into the void of the sea

"LEE!" She cried out reaching out to me, desperately, not wanting to lose me. All she saw was the flash of the beam of light erupt from below her.

My POV

As I hugged her like I wished I could of for the past seven years, I could feel her start to squirm. I slowly backed away and saw that she had tears welling up in her eyes again, threatening to pour out.

"I thought I had lost you! How are you not dead?" she choked, trying as hard as she could to not collapse and sob like a newborn.

"I managed to grab a branch hanging out from the cliff right before impact." I whispered, trying to help her get over her sadness.

"That's impossible, I saw the light!"

"You saw an enemy fall into the sea, not me." I murmured almost under my breath. She had begun to cry. "Shit," I thought to myself, I'm the "cause of this"

I wiped away her tears and kept my hand on her cheek. Her skin was as soft as I had remembered.

"No tears," I said. "I hate it when you cry." She placed her hand over mine.

"Ahem!" came from behind us. I looked over to see her friend, at least I thought he was her friend, staring at us.

"Oh! Ulrich, this is my brother Lee!" I looked over at her quickly, but noticed her eyes said Play Along!

Aelita's POV

I desperately wanted to tell Ulrich that he wasn't my brother, but I couldn't tell anyone just yet. Seeing my old boyfriend had brought up buried feelings that I had forgotten. But now I had Odd, and he was great.

Aelita! Ulrich! We're running out of time! I'm pulling you both out

"Jeremy, wait! I've found my brother and I need you to help him out of Lyoko."

I guess I can try, but it's dangerous. Are you sure you're prepared to lose him if we fail?

"...Yes"

Then let's try. Pulling you all out now.

My POV

"AHH! FUCK!" I felt pain from all around. Suddenly everything around me disappeared and it reappeared about a minute later. It was all different. I found myself lying on my hands and knees staring at a gray floor.

"Where am I?" I shouted out, hopping up and getting ready for an attack. I felt two arms wrap around my neck from behind, but instantly relaxed. I knew her body all too well.

"Aelita" I said with a smile, and turned around to hug her back. I noticed a door and thought back.

This is my Brother, Lee

Her voice echoed through his mind

"Hey, Aelita, can we talk outside for a second?"

"Sure!" I took her hand in mine and led her outside and shut the door firmly behind us. In half a second I had her pinned against the wall, savagely drinking in the body I had missed for seven long, aching, lonely years. I kissed her and her eyes grew wide, but she slowly adjusted and started kissing me back. As we parted for air, I asked her the question that had been on my mind.

"Why did you call me your brother?" She looked away nervously.

"After I saw you fall, I met these people in Lyoko, and they transported me here, the real world. I thought I had lost you and began having feelings for someone in the group."

"So does that mean we're over?" I asked, pulling away slightly.

"I don't know. I just want some time to think. I just need you to wait, please!" At her saying that, I looked her dead in the eye.

"I don't want to wait, Aelita!" I pulled her ear to my mouth.

"I love you." I whispered slowly. I pulled back and began kissing her again, trying to convince her. I gently bit her bottom lip, wanting entrance into her mouth. She slowly decided to let me in, and after that we kissed more passionately. We needed air, so we reluctantly pulled away from each other, breathing heavily. She rested her head on my shoulder.

"We'll tell them tomorrow." she sighed.
