Chapter 5:Vanilla Twilight
(Odd POV)
Before I blacked out again, the pain I felt was unexplainable. It just hurt. REALLY BAD. Like , horribly bad. Like. . . bad.
I remember throwing myself over the side after Aelita. Then, feeling my heart beat fast, I flipped her above be, and then. . . nothing. It just all went. . . black.
When I came to a few times, I just wanted to pass out again because of all the pain. Through all that pain, and almost blacking out again, I managed to say, "I want my friends," and point at them before everything went back to dark.
The weird thing is, when everything went black, it started getting white. Like a bright white. I wanted to run away, but, it was like the light was . . . I don't know . . . kinda pulling me towards it.
Now, I am in some sort of . . . white room. . . or maybe it's a hallway. . . or maybe it's a building ?
I don't know, but it's all white, and looks like the white train station in the last Harry Potter movie. But. . . it's not a train station. There is a bench though. . . but Voldemort's soul isn't under it.
"Hello young man."
Dear God! Is that Voldemort? I hope not! Doesn't sound like him? Should I turn around? Should I run? What should I do? Wait! Voldemort isn't real! Huh, what if it's Xana? What the heck? Why would he be in my dreams? Come on, Odd, man up! You can do it!
"Son? You alright?"
Okay, I'm gonna turn and see who it is.
I put my right foot out, and turned on my heel to see who it was. Woah, wasn't who I was expecting to see. . . actually, I have no idea who this is. . .
He has dark skin, wearing all white, and a kind smile on his face. . .(A/N:Imagine Morgan Freeman )
"Are you ready?"
"Ready?"
I gasp, then realize where I am.
(Aelita POV)
As I lean against Ulrich in the cab for comfort, I can't help but feel that something is wrong. I think everyone else does too because you can feel the tension in the air, and nobody has spoken for over three minutes(which is a lot for us).
This all causes me too look out the window past Ulrich, and pray that Odd will be okay.
(Medic POV)
"His heart is slowing down!" I exclaim, causing people to shuffle around in the ambulance car, grabbing everything we need to help him.
But will it be enough? is all I can think right now.
(Odd POV)
"So, you're telling me, that right now, I am dying?" I ask the Man, who nods his head.
"Yes, you are indeed dying at his very moment," He says, looking at me with calm, kind eyes."But, unlike so many people who have perished, you have the choice to live, or, to come with me."
"But-" I am at loss of words. I have no idea what to do, or to say.
"If you choose to go back, I must warn you that there will be pain, and things about you may be different," He says to me, not making this choice any easier.
"Like, what?" I ask him, but he just shakes his head and shrugs.
"At the moment, I have no idea," He smiles, and I let out a laugh, even though this really isn't a laughing matter.
"I thought you knew everything, and what was going to happen every day, stuff like that," I say honestly, looking at him, waiting for his answer.
"Well, right now, I really can't see YOUR future," He tells me.
Not the answer I was hoping for.
"Not the answer, huh?" He says, smiling at my puzzled face. . . I think.
"No. . . so, what will happen if I go with you?" I ask, looking into his eyes again. What is with me and his eyes?
"That, you will have to see for yourself," He tells me, looking at me in the eyes back.
I look away, feeling a bit awkward. What should I do? Should I go? I mean, by doing that, I wouldn't be able to see my friends again. By not going, from what he has told me, I will be different, but he has no idea how different I will be!
"You are running out of time," He says, looking into space.
This just makes me even more worried. What should I do? Stay, or go. Stay, or go. Stay or go. Stay or go. Gah! Just make up your mind before it's too late!
Then, out of nowhere, I make up my mind. It's for the best. . . I think.
(Aelita POV)
When we reached the hospital, I slumped to my knees and cried when they told me the news. His heart had stopped just when they got to the hospital. They said they won't give up, and rushed his in, leaving me crying on the ground, screaming, and surrounded by my friends.
Why did it have to be him? Why? Why didn't he just let me fall, thinking it was too late to do anything? Why was he so stupid? No, he wasn't the stupid one. He was just doing what he thought was right. He was being the same good friend that saved me so many times when we were still trying to defeat Xana. He wasn't the stupid one. I was.
(Odd POV)
As we walked down the 'hallway' towards the bright light at the end, I heard the sound of running footsteps.
When I look back, I see all of my friends running towards me.
Did they die too? No way. The Big Man wouldn't do that. He wouldn't let all of us die the same day. But. . . then why are they here?
When they stop running , they look at me with smiling faces. I look over each one of them. Ulrich, my roommate, the one who always went to the principles with me. Yumi, the one who seemed to never give up, the one who never really laughed at my jokes, only saying how dumb they were. Jeremie, the computer nerd, the new generation of Albert Einstein. Then, Aelita. The girl who I died for. The girl who stood on the edge of the school building because she had 'no one'. The girl I would save in Lyoko even if it meant I would be devirtualized. But, the thing that hurts my heart most is the thought that I will never see her again. Or at least, not for a long time.
I am now regretting my choice. I want to run to them, be there for Aelita again, and crack my 'horrible jokes' just to lighten the mood.
I turn around and look at him, my eyes threatening to spill over with tears. As if he reads my mind, he nods, and motions for me to go over to them with a smile. And trust me, I didn't take any time to run away from the light, and towards my friends.
I don't stop running either. I run straight into their arms, and all of us are consumed by a bright light.
(Aelita POV)
It took me no time to burst into the hospital when a medic came running out and told us Odd's heart started beating again.
Tears welled up in my eyes when I reached the room and saw Odd's eyes open, but he was in so much pain by the look in his eyes.
I put my hand on the window when he looked over and saw me standing there. he smiles, and makes an attempt to wave, but I could see it caused him a lot of pain. This caused me to frown even more than I already was. I did this to him. He's in all this pain because of me.
Before the doctors surround him to do their work, he shakes his head , and puts the tips of his fingers on each side of his mouth, and pushes them up into a smile.
Even in his state, he tries to lighten the mood. That's the Odd I know. The funny, yet serious at times boy who risked his life for me, died, but came back. How? I have no idea. But he came back, and that's all that matters.
When I and the others sit down in the waiting room, I look in the window that's next to Ulrich, and up in the sky, mouthing the words, "Thank you."
