Aelita's POV:
I was running away from the darkness. There was nothing more I wanted then to head to the light at the end of the long hallway. A hand was reaching out of the darkness, trying to grab me and pull me into the dark void. "NO!" I screamed as I ran away from the hand. I then notice a figure in the light with an outstretched hand. Even this far away, I knew who the mysterious figure in the light was. "Jeremie…" my heart was overfilled with joy seeing him there in the light. The hand behind me then changed targets. It reached past me and grabbed Jeremie. "NO!" I cried once more into the air. The hand pulled him into the darkness as another hand appeared holding something spherical. An evil laugh filled the air as the light was swallowed by the darkness. The hand then showed me what it was holding, the Earth. I watched in horror as the hand squeezed the earth until it shattered. It was then, I saw it. On the palm of the hand sat the eye of XANA. "NOOOO!" I screamed into the air of my dorm room as I awoke in a cold sweat. Panting hard, I reached over to my nightstand and turn on the light. As I sat up, I grabbed Mister Puck from the corner of my bed where he laid. What a horrible dream! And yet…I cannot help but wonder if any part of it was true. I have a funny feeling that XANA is up to something. I grabbed my cellphone and called Jeremie at once.
"Hello?" Jeremie answered.
"Jeremie? Is everything okay on Lyoko?" I asked.
"*Yawn* Hold on, I'll check…. Yep, everything is fine. The Superscann is all quiet."
"Hmm, strange… I had a weird dream about XANA laughing and in his hands; he squeezed the Earth until it shattered in his hands. I was really worried something was happening…" I said, trying to hide my fear. I did not want him to tell him about seeing him being swallowed into the darkness.
"It's alright, it was just a nightmare. Try to go back to sleep, all is well."
"Okay Jeremie. I'll see you at our favorite table for breakfast in the morning." I said happily, knowing that all is well.
"Okay, good night Princess." He said as he hung up.
Hmmm… strange. Just then when he called me my nickname, it sounded weird. It was like he was saying it in disgust. I wonder if anything is wrong with him. I shrugged it off and went back to bed. With Mister Puck safely in my arms, I prayed I would not have that nightmare again. As I drifted into sleep, I thought I heard the wind whisper into my ear in a voice I love. Aelita…
(Oh what fresh horror is here? Could Aelita's dream prove to be true? Will Jeremie show or will someone else try to take his place? Find out next time I update the story!)
