"we're more beautiful dead than alive." that soft, but harsh and dark whisper invaded her dream land. Her brain desperately searching for the source, but her heart and body knew that something painful and disturbing was about only to come of this. Her body thrashing tossing and turning in the bed as if the movement would help sooth her heart that was beating rapidly. She could see herself, walking down a hallway she could hear the stairs creaking beneath her weight. A dim light ahead, brightning as she approach almost blinding. As if the contents of the room were too holy for her unworthy eyes. She saw a dark figure and it opened its mouth to say something
**beep beep beep**
Sissi left hand lazily hit the snooze button on the alarm that was flashing 6am. She'd given herself an extra 3mins to sleep trying to go back to the door she was approaching feeling the suddle anxious feeling in her chest that was left lingering.
**beep beep beep**
6:03am
Sissi slowly pulled herself in a sitting position. "time to get up" she thought to herself.
Even though classes didn't begin till 9 to get to the showers first she'd have to be up early.
To be back by 6:35 to do her hair and make up and decide what to wear, what perfume matched her mood and if she should wear curls or not it was going to take her atleast till 7:30.
She'd leave the room looking like perfection and she would have to be out the building by 7:35 to catch a glimps of Ulrich.
She sighed and stopped thinking and just smiled and the thought of his name. Ulrich...he was perfection.. He was...she stopped and a grimance appearec on her face...
"Not mine" she said aloud, "and so my day begins" She thought her hand slowly gliding the 'are you ready' pink color on her lips.
Slowly she pushed the double doors of the dorm building heading to the cafeteria, the light blinding her a bit and a familiar sense came to her so familiar she walked past Ulrich in such deep thought she didnt even notice him.
Her dream suddenly playing back to her in bits and pieces causing a sudden feeling of heart ache and sadness to consume her.
Aimlessly she headed toward the cafeteria to be greeted by a few girls she knew hated her guts and talked behind her back. "ehh thats life." She thought she looked to see Nicholas and Herb sitting at the table deciding to skip breakfast and think about what she dreamed why was it so important? Why did it tug at her heart?
**lyoko group**
"Hey did you guys notice Sissi didn't even look our way just now" Odd said in a surprise tone.
He was mentally preparing for a corny but witty come back, a little disappointed he didnt get to use it.
"Don't jinx it Odd" Ulrich replied in his usual annoyed tone. Yumi leaning alway from the snack machine as a classmate approached to buy something
"Maybe she forgot her brain in her room this morning and is in deep thought wondering where she left it"
**slam**
Everyone looked back
the girl buying the snacks was red in the face."you know you guys shouldnt talk crap about someone while they arent around." Yumi grimance wondering where this was headed.
The girl continued "She's my friend you know, and Ulrich she was yours too, since elementary school as well up until last year when you started hanging around these guys! what? you just forget your old friends?"
Ulrich looked up he didnt even notice the girl was Kris one of his old friends.
"Kris I-" "save it Ulrich" she stood upright after grabbing her food and hot chocolate and taking a sip "taste like dish water" she mumbled and threw it in the trash "and its Kristen to you." She hurried away Odd staring after her "same thing i thought" he jokingly said trying to lighten the mood.
Aelita notice Jermy typing rather slowly than usual like he was reading something and asked "is there something wrong?" "No new news with Xana."
**ringg**
The bell rang for Class to begin in
**back to Sissi**
"ugh after a long day like that i need some beauty sleep before dinner." she swung her door open and clumsy as always slipped and fell on her bed face flat into the pillow she giggled at herself and drift off into dream land. this time there was no images just darkness and she heard dark sinster, it felt like a spider was crawling on her spin, that voice said
"The first time I saw a body bend that way I realized that we're more beautiful dead than alive Then, with bloodied flesh removed, I saw why they say beauty comes from the inside."
She was steps away from the door and her heart was beating painfully in her chest she was no longer dreaming or atleast it didnt feel like a dream she was fully aware of everything around her the smell, the taste, the sounds.
She was scared to death her father hadn't made it home yet her mother had just kissed her goodnight. She heard loud noises downstairs. She knew it wasnt any of the help, for they didn't have 24 hours staff anymore her father deemed it unnecessary. She could hear voices... "Men!" She thought in the house with mama? She walked slowly to the door to listen.
"If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one,
stab another, one you cut up, one you don't, then the police don't know what to do. They think you're 4 different people. What they really like, what makes their job so much easier, is pattern. What they call a modus operandi. That's latin. Bet you didn't know any latin, did ya otis?"
Sissi shot up out of bed sweating, cold and trembling. Memories she'd blocked away mentally were slowly invading her thoughts.
"why now?" asking herself waiting for an answer inbetween sobs. calming herself she layed awake in bed trying to go back to sleep but her mind wouldnt let her.
She felt sharp pains in her stomach and realized she was hungry. she sighed, turning her head slowly to glare at the clock in red bright numbers. It read 3:47am she got up only to grab a jacket and slip on shoes to walk to the only avalible food on campus the vending machine. When she got there she thoughtbshe heard voices even thought she saw something mood but casr away the thoghts deeming the previous ones were more important
**Ulrich's POV**
"I wonder what Xana has up his sleeve this time!" Jermey cursed at himself.
"maybe it was just a false alarm or a trick to defeat us by depriving us of sleep!" Odd threw in. "Its never a false alarm with Xana" Ulrich looked to his left and notice Sissi standing at the machines. "shhhhh"
The three ducked behind a tree "what the hell is she doing up at the hour!"
"waiting for you" Odd jokinglu said Ulrich cast him a dark look. The watched her take a sip of the soda she had she looked troubled.
"Hey guys?"
"shh she might hear us! And it would be hard to explain what the three of us are doing ...behind a tree."
"but look" Ulrich and Jermy turned around annoyed to see a dark hair running and approching them quickly. It ran right past them. It stop right behind Sissi. Already moving from behind their hiding place ready to attack. The had a better view of a girl around there age. out of breath breathing heavly. She hugged Sissi from behind.
