Chapter 11

"So how did this all start?" asked Jeremie. The gang was in Angela's room to find out about her past. "Well." said Angela. "It started when one of my ancestors had what they thought was a strange disease. Before she died, she said that there would be someone of her kind but will have a hard time."

"Someone of her kind?" asked Yumi.

"Someone with cat-like qualities." said Aelita. "She meant you." Angela nodded. "I'll tell you the rest tonight." she said. "In your dreams."

"You can see our dreams?" asked Odd.

"Yea." said Angela. "Wanna know what Ulrich dreams about?"

"Don't tell them." said Ulrich.

"Who wants to know?" asked Angela. Everyone except Ulrich raised their hands. "Ok." said Angela.

"Don't." said Ulrich.

"Too bad." said Angela. "He dreams about marrying Yumi." Everyone turned to Ulrich, who was blushing. "What about Yumi?" asked Aelita.

"Easy." said Angela. "She dreams of finally telling William that she likes-no loves Ulrich."

"That true?" asked Jeremie while turning to Yumi, who was blushing as red as Ulrich. "That's private." she said.

"What about Jeremie?" asked Ulrich.

"He dreams of finally telling Aelita he likes her and finally having the courage to kiss her." said Angela.

"You have a dirty mind Einstein." said Odd.

"Shut up." said Jeremie. "What about Aelita."

"She just dreams of seeing her father again." said Angela. "And dating you."

"What about you and Odd?" everyone asked.

"That's private." said Angela and Odd blushing.

"Just tell us." said Ulrich.

"Hey do I hear the bell?" asked Odd.

"What do you know we gotta get to class." said Angela. "Come on Odd." She grabbed his arm and ran out. That night, everyone was getting ready for the unexpected. "Night buddy." said Ulrich.

"You too." said Odd as he climbed into bed. His dreams were the same: Getting married to Angela and having a happy life. Soon, everything went dark and he woke up and was surrounded by a bright light. "What the hell?" he asked.

"Odd." said Ulrich. "What's going on?"

"No idea." said Jeremie. He was joined by Aelita and Yumi. "Where are we?" asked Aelita.

"Welcome." said a voice. A small light appered and formed into Angela. "Hey ANgela." said Jeremie.

"Can you tell us what's going on?" asked Odd.

"These are my memories." said Angela. "It's what I want you to see." A bubble appeared and a picture was shwon inside. "What's this?" asked Yumi.

"It's where it all started." said Angela. "When I was born."

"You look cute." said Odd. "Who are the other two girls that came in the room?"

"My older sisters." said Angela. "Angel and Angelica." The two older girls looked at the girl in disgust as the picture changed to when Angela changed into her tantrum form for the first time. "I destroyed everything." said Angela.

"It looks a mess." said Yumi. The picture changed again to where Angela's parents left her for a week with her sisters. "These are the memories I hate the most." said Angela.

"What hap-" Jeremie started then saw the two girls beating her. "They abused you?" asked Aelita.

"Yea." said Angela. "If you include feeding me scraps of food, whipping me, and leaving me for death."

"I'll never forgive them." growled Odd with clenched fists. The bubble showed Angela's parents coming home to see their almost dead child. "They lied to them too." said Angela. "And my parents blamed me for it." Tears rolled down her face as she spoke. "They didn't let me explain. Then they saw for themselves what Angel and Angelica were doing and they didn't do anything to help me. THEY NEVER DID!" The light around them got darker. "Angela." said Yumi.

"I understand how she feels." said Ulrich. "My dad hates me but this is different."

"Way different." said Aelita.

"I know how you feel Aelita." said Angela. "I feel the same way, but getting abused by your older sisters is more worse then being chased by the FBI." The light got lighter as another bubble appeared and Angela heard a familiar voice. "Who's that?" asked Ulrich pointing to a boy with blonde hair and green eyes.

"My big bro." said Angela. "Out of all my siblings, he's the oldest, and the only one that loves me. He lived with my cousin back then but sometimes he would visit."

"He looks alot like you." said Yumi.

"Onii-chan!" yelled a three-year old Angela while she ran to her brother and hugged him. "Hey." he said.

"You have a hard past." said Aelita. "At least your mom wasn't taken by the FBI."

"Actually both of my parents were." said Angela. "They wanted to know if the cat DNA was in their blood. I was six then." The picture changed to when Angela's parents were sent to the FBI while Angela, Angel, and Angelica watched. "This is your fault." Angelica said before she slapped Angela. "Hey." said Ulrich.

"This wouldn't have happened if you weren't born like the freak you are now." growled Angelica. The six year-old Angela looked up at her while holding her cheek. "Onee-chan." she said.

"Don't 'Onee-chan' me." said Angelica. "In fact, you don't have a sister anymore. Not until Mom and Dad are back." And just like that, she went to her room while Angel followed. "Good luck being an only child." she snarled.

"That's crazy." said Jeremie. Then the bubble showed Angela being taken while her sisters waved good-bye to her with a smirk on their face. "How cruel." said Yumi. The picture changed to an alarm being set off and an eight year-old Angela running out of the facility. "That's when you escaped?" asked Jeremie. Angela nodded. "Then my parents decided that we move to another state but the FBI chased us there."

"They chased you all around the country?" asked Ulrich.

"Until on my fourteenth birthday we moved to France." said Angela. "We haven't heard anything from them so that's when we thought we were safe." Finally, the picture changed to when Angela met the Lyoko gang and the bubble disappeared. "Well that's it." said Angela. "See ya later." She and the bright light disappeared.

Odd woke up and looked what the time was: 5:45. "Damn it we woke up early." he groaned.

"Well that's a first." said Ulrich as he sat up. At 7:30, they went to breakfast and met up with Aelita, Jeremie, and Angela. "Who do you think?" she asked.

"One word." said Jeremie. "Speechless."

"Shocked." said Ulrich.

"Horrified." said Odd.

"It seems you had a hard life like me." said Aelita.

"Yea." said Angela. "But don't worry about it. It's all in the past."

Me: She had one hell of a hard past. Same with Aelita. Next chapter, we'll have some romance problems between Angela and Odd. See ya later.
