"And so, when Einstein first created it, to most.." I zone out the teacher as she rattles off about stuff I already knew. "Hey!" Odd gently elbows me in the ribs, "You OK?" I smile at him and he pokes me in the forehead. "You shouldn't mope around, you look prettier when you smile" I chuckle, "Mr. Della Robbia; if you are quite done flirting with Miss. Seals, I would like you to answer the question on the board" His cheeks go a light shade of pink and I quickly mutter, "197.43 newtons" Just under my breath, just enough for him to hear. "197.43 newtons ma'am!" He replys with a smile. The class starts laughing and the teacher looks at Odd in a mix of shock and amazement. "Thank you Odd.. Onto the next question-"

"Pleeeeeeeeease Becky!" I stop where and pull Odd out of the crowd of students. I look at Odd, "I'll do the first paragraph but you're doing the rest; and remember now you owe me double" He pulls me into a bear hug and we both laugh. "Oh look! Its Odd and his newest girlfriend!" Odd drops me and we turn to face Sissi and her little posse. "Or is it the other way around? After all, you WHERE pretty popular at your last school. Weren't you Becca?" That catches me by surprise, "Sissi what're you talking about?" She smiles at me in a sickly sweet sort of way; we'd made a small group of watchers, Ulrich, William and Yumi where included. "Well I just stumbled across this picture this morning..." She pulls a photo out from her back pocket and I go completely frozen, it was a picture of me, smiling at the camera and a boy with hazel-streaked hair kissing my cheek whilst taking the picture. I drop my bag onto the concrete " Where did you GET that?" There was so much venom in my voice she flinched, only two of those photos had been processed one belonged to me and the other to his family. "Oh, WHERE I got it isn't important but I have to sa-" I am in her face in a blur, "Give me. That photo" For a second she shows a mask of fear before smirking and pushing me back. I turn towards the wall, my fists were shaking in anger "And you thought I was a slut, LOOK at you! Well at least I can get a decent looking guy..."

I punch her HARD. Right across the face. She tumbles to the ground holding her jaw.

A collection of gasps ripple around the crowd before Sissi bursts into tears. I snatch the photo from her and pick my bag up. "Don't be a f***ing bitch to everyone when you don't even know what they've been through" And I push through the crowd of children and walk off down the hall. "Hey Rebecca!" Odd calls and I ignore him. I feel him grab my arm and look at me; I yank my arm back and glare at him; "Piss off" And I run down the corridor.

I ran for a while; I'd missed most of my 5th lesson and I was currently walking aimlessly in the forest area. I sigh and slip the photo into my bag before leaning against a tree. I roll my head to the side before someone catches my eye. "Jim?" I sit up and gulp, "Uh...W-What are you doing h-" I am cut off when my phone goes off. I pull it out and see it's from Odd.

ACTIVATED TOWER LOOK-OUT FOR -

"Spectres..." We had PE 5th lesson; I look at Jim he was a couple of metres away but he was walking towards me. "Shit!" And I yank my bag up and run. "Someone answer!" I dial the first number on my phone and thankfully, Odd picks up. "Rebecca? Where are y-"

"Odd, FUCK help! Spectre! chasing me! forest!" I yell as my foot catches a tree root and I fal to the ground; an immense pin crawling along my ankle.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I grimace and hold my leg before looking back up at Jim. There is a flash, a pain in my ribs and I black out.

This time I WAKE UP in Lyoko, joy...

I blink sleepily and cover my eyes from the imense light that wouldn't go away. I pick myself up and look at the ground; the ground was sand. That explained the fact I was boiling but not sweating.

I sit up and slide down the slope I was lying on, in the distance was a tall structure. Aelita had told me about these, they were towers. That was what was controling the spectre. I break into a sprint towards the tower and stop dead; at the bottom of the mount of sand,

Was the schiphozoa.

It sees me, quite obviously, because it begins to charge towards me. I slowly back away, only to smack into something.

No SOMEONE.

William quickly locks his arms around my waist, trapping my arms and stopping me from moving as the jellyfish advanced.

"ShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitS hitShitShitShitShitShitShitShit!"

I keep repeating and I hear William chuckle; the jellyfish was only a couple of metres away. I struggle against William's grip but it was set like stone. "Crap!" Quite suddenly, William shoves me forward, I stumble to my feet and regain my balance. Which was quite difficult on sand. I look up at the schipozoa and instantly feel my connection to my body begin to fade. Slowly but surely the long tentacles protruding from its body wrap/levitate around my body. I feel myself lifted off the ground and three tentacles gently touch my temples and forehead.

An immense pain begins to ripple from the back of my head and I cry out. Through the blur of colours I was seeing, I could see a deep red liquid flowing through the tentacles of the jellyfish. I scream as the pain intensifiys and I see electricity begin to spark around my body.

"Stop!" And I am thrown backwards, out of the grasp of the jellyfish and into William. We tumble down the slope and I land on top of him, in a way that will NEVER be classified as comfortable. "Oww..." I sit up and look at William, he was sitting up on his elbows looking at me in shock. For a brief second I thought I saw a flicker of emotion cross the cold set of his pupils.

That was William.

The REAL William.

And then it was gone.

I jump up and stumble back, "Hey Beck!" I look behind William and sigh as Odd, Aelita and Yumi stop behind William. "You never quit, do you?" There is a brief second while my mind process's what just happened before I burst into laughter. They look at me in confusion "Dude you sound like a forty year old smoker!" I drop to the ground in a fit of laughter and Odd soon joins me. "Nice one Becca!" William growls and I sigh before looking up, "Sorry dude, but its true" I see Yumi stiffling her laughter before William looks up at the sky. "Manta! Tarantula!" I jump back as a group of spider-like creatures march up to the slope. Followed by two giant manta rays behind them.

'Here are your vehicles!'

I watch as beside each of them a personalised mode of transport virtualises. "What about me Jeremy?!" I duck as William begins to swing his Zweihander in multiple angles.

'Uhh..Just a second!'

I duck and jump upwards, landing on the rim of his sword before he swings his sword upwards and I go flying backwards. "Rebecca!" I hear Aelita call and instead of feeling my back collide with the hot sand I feel air. I look down and see nothing but a vast majority of ocean.

'Virtualize'

I drop into someones arms and I look up into Odd's grinning face. "Can't get your hands off me can you?" I roll my eyes before he places me on the back of his board. I sway slightly and grab around his waist, Don't get me wrong, I know how to skate but when there's another person in control? You'd be concerned as well.

"Ow! Beck what's on your wrist?!" Odd asks before shoting at one of the Tarantulas. I pull my hand back and stare at the small gold bracelet around my wrist. I gently push the button in the centre and I feel something grow out of my back, "Whoa!" I push energy into my back and I turn my head to see a pair of golden digital wings flow out of my back. "Hey you've got wings! Just like Aelita!" Odd smiles and suddenly tilts the board back; I tumble off but desperatly try to flap the wings and I soon find my feet on hard earth. "THANK YOU Jeremie" I pull my shuriken from my hips and run next to Aelita, "So we have to get you to the tower right?" She nods and I run at the spiders. Again, I had the advantage of them not being able to shoot at me.

I jump over a tarantula, throwing a shuriken in the process and it slides straight through the symbol. "Odd! Get Aelita to the tower!" I grab Aelita and push her towards Odd, who was now hovering in an open area. I turn to Yumi and hurry over to her. "Think we can take them?" I ask her with a smile, she returns the soft gesture and nods.

An idea pops into mind about how to deal with the taratulas. "Yumi when I say now, run between the tarantulas" She looks at me in confusion "Just trust me!". This plan could get rid of the tarantulas, "Wait...NOW!" She runs through the tarantlas and sure enough, they begin to follow her. I begin to follow them and I hurl my shurikens at the tarantulas and neither react until the shurikens slice through their weak point. "Yeah!"

'Nice job ladies! Aelita just got into the tower!'

I let out a whoop of victory and high-five with Yumi. "Nice j-" She is cut off and I watch as she begins to piece away in flakes. I hear William growl and I watch as he brings his sword back and flings it around his body, sending a circle of energy which hits me in the torso. Pain ripples through my body and I feel the connection with the rest of my body loosen. The last thing I see is the cold stare of my attacker before I drop to the ground; my knees hitting the floor of the scanner. "You OK Beck?" I look up at Yumi and smile before she helps me up. "Thanks for trusting me" She chuckles and we turn to see Odd and Aelita step out of the scanners.

'Return to the past now'

I feel the usual buzz of energy disappear and I stare up at the ceiling of my room; I fling myself out of bed and run to my scrapbook which was piled under another several notebooks. I quickly flip to the last page and smile at the photo.

I'll never leave your side. I promise!

Love 3

Xavier.

I quickly pull it out and slip ot into one of my backpacks which were hanging in my closet.

Sissi didn't come near me for the rest of the day.

'Would please make her way to the principals office?'

I swallow and stand up; it was the third lesson I was in Mr. Kiritas's Art lesson. I wave good bye to Ulrich and Aelita before walking down the hallway. I gently knock on the door and I hear call me in. "Uh.. Sir? You wanted to see m-" I stop dead at the sight in the office. It was a well cleaned office, sat behind a polished wooden desk littered with paper, a dinosaur like computer in the corner.

And in front of the desk, standing with his arms crossed behind his back.

"Dad?"
