Astrid's POV

after I had shot a few monsters and aelita had epically pushed the button I liked sector 5. Ive only been here once before but I liked the electronic and futuristic look of it. I feel most comfortable in here, like I can kick butt ten fold. Powered up and ready to go I didnt have to ask where to go I just started to head in that direction. The others followed me and Odd ran up to my side. He gave me a question but impressed look. I smiled at him in return.

"Jeremy didn't tell you where to go did he?" Ulrich asked a little more confused then Odd.

"nope." Jeremy said and the others looked at me expectantly

"lucky guess? I don't know it just felt like the right way.." I said honestly I couldn't explain it, something inside me just automatically register. And as I felt happy that I was able to figure it out, it gave me a strange feeling when I thought about it. We stepped inside one of those elevator things and went down. Then when we arrived at the right place, Aelita walked towards the edge and put her hand one the hologram thing. I can't hardly explain any of these things in I do know I want to use that thing sometime, I think I know how to access William's information. How I do and if it's the right way I don't know, but I want to try.

instead of focusing on that I shook my head and kept watch. No monsters came for most of it except for a few that didn't see us. Aelita kept searching and eventually we got off our guard and started to talk.

"you sure there aren't any monsters around Jeremy?" yumi asked we were all bored from waiting here.

"if they was don't you think Xana would've sent them already?" Odd asked swiping he tail back in forth as I was shooting an arrow at the ceiling.

"actually a nest of mantas are about to hatch, look out!" Jeremy said and Odd, Yumi, and I got on our guard while Ulrich stood by Aelita. I kept my bow notched and looked around, I couldnt see any manta but surely they were coming.

"Where are they?" I asked and they others shrugged while Odd said

" they can come from anywhere, but you should know where they are right Einstein." He asked and I took a glance over at Aelita still trying to find williams data. Just then I heard a manta's...call? We looked around wildly for a second but we still couldnt see it.

Thinking I suddenly said, "Below!" And three manta came out from right below our little diving board platform, instantly I notched my arrow and shot one but not before all thre of them could take a shot at Aelita. She was instantly devirtualized, weakened from a few creepers we had encountered earlier.

"Aelita!" Ulrich said and stabbed another manta and Odd shot the last one. We stood there In disappointment and aw at the fact our mission had ended. Finally I thought, if I wanted to do something useful maybe I could find William data!

"Do we have to stop now?" I asked and Ulrich sighed and put his sword away, Yumi out her fans away, but Odd look at me like I was a puzzle he suddenly couldn't solve. I smiled at him and he smiled back reaching out his hand I took it.

Then I looked over to the data pad, I let go of Odd's hand and walked over to it. " is Aelita the only one who can work these things?" i asked as it powered down and required a hand confirmation thing again.

"well she is now I guess, none of us have ever been able to open these as she ha..." She stopped herself as I put my hand on the hologram and and my name appear. It went to the little data place Aelita had been and I automatically went to,work. Sorting through the things that could and couldn't help me. Aelita has done most of the work but something catches me. On of the things she discarded had something. I selected it and went on for a few minutes.

"Jeremy... Is this it?" I asked getting too excited, it looks right and it shows everything I think we need. Suddenly I want to free him more than anything, i won't be able to stop until I do something.

"That's it!" I hear Aelita's voice she's just as excited as I am. "All you need to do is send it to Jeremy!" She said then guided me through how to do it, even though I already know how.

I sent it to Jeremy and took a step back, excitement gleaming in my eyes. Odd came up to me and smiled, I gave him my best smile yet. Looking at him I could distract myself forever. Instead Jeremy interrupts saying " alright I'll send you guys in."

Something blasted me and I fell to my knees one hand clutching my forehead. A wisper, I was aware of the others calling my name but this was different.

"You were born for me. You are MY force!" I flinched as it suddenly became a yell.

Odd's POV

When she collapse suddenly to the ground panic rose through me. You never know what could happen in lyoko, especially when Xana has his eye on you. I put my arm on her shoulder as the others rushed over. But she rises up and looks apologetically at us.

"I'm sorry I was hit with a migraine. I get those a lot." She says and everyone breathes a sigh of relief, except me. Something in the way she flinched a moment ago, and the look she has in her eyes tells me that shes not telling the truth and that this might be a little too much to tell even me. She looks at me deeply with apology as she's notices I knows she lying. I give a warm smile and suddenly I'm in cases in hers. The date we were supposed to go on could not come soon enough. We plan to go to the movies just as soon as something good comes on.. Although we both agreed that if we have to wait one more week we'll do something else.

We were devirtualized and headed back up to Jeremy and Aelita. Once we got up Aelita ran over and hugged Astrid. I was shocked, I guess I never realized how good of friends they were.

"You did great! I can't believe I missed that file!" Aelita said smiling, and Astrid started blushing. Yep if I don't go on a date with her doom someone else will.

"I just really wanted to try it out, the thing looked so cool!" She said the excitement returning to her eyes.

"if that's how you try out stuff could you help me 'try out' my homework?" Ulrich said and we all laughed.

Astrid turned to Jeremy and asked, "When can we free William?" She says her eyes excited but serious too. She wants to free him! Of course, that's why she was trying so hard to find his files, that's why she was disappointed when we were stuck with out Aelita. I figured she would be passionate about this, she seems the type of person who wouldnt think any one should have control over people. It brings me back to trying to figure out her past.

"Soon, just as soon as I can put this together in a form of nonxanafy." He said already getting to work.

We walked back to the dorms together, the others wanted to stay there for a little while and Astrid thought this would be the perfect time to tell me about the necklace and other things. We grabbed the necklace then headed to some benches a little ways away from the porthole.

"So whats special about the necklace?" I asked and she looked at me confused

"I've only found one thing, which is pretty special." She said as she popped open a compartment. thats strange! A locket that doesn't open like a clam. My thoughts trail off as she showed me what was in there. there is no mistaking her eyes and her hair.

"Thats you isnt it? Wait that papers folded... Is there more?" I asked worryingly. It must have been hard for her to see this, it had to have brought up memories.

"I didnt take it out yet... I didn't want to do it alone.." She said shyly and I smile warmly at her and hold her hand. Using my other hand she allows me to unfold the paper to see what's inside. it looks like a folded up picture but then the screen starts moving, and I hear a small gasp from Astrid. A seen unfolds and suddenly we are watching this mysterious thing together.

We see a women pick up the child and cradle her in her arms. Taking in details from the room it looks like they're in an orphanage.

"That's the new born's room!" Astrid exclaimed "I would help out there!" then she turns to me and says "this has to be the orphanage where I grew up, I used to help with the new horns, this is the room where they were in.." She gets a sad look in her eyes and I squeeze her hand. She doesn't have to go on if she doesn't want to. Just then she folds up the paper again and puts it back in the compartment.

"That was where they would put the new borne that were rejected from the start, the mothers never wanted to have them in the first place." She says with tears starting to flow down her cheek. I reach over and hug her. I have two of the best parents in the world, I could never imagine what's it's like to not have any at all.

"I'm sorry." I whisper into her ear and shoe holds me more tightly, tears running down her cheeks I comfort her with out question. I'm in love with her, I want her to feel happy and smile again, I want to make her happy. What could I say to her, Astrid don't worry about your parents I love you enough for both of them? When she sobs again I stop worrying about what to say, instead I hold tightly and she holds me back. We sit there for what seems like forever, but shorter than what I wish.

Romantic ending! thank you guys for sticking with me! no Xana attack today but we did learn a little about Astrid. I hope you guys are enjoying and I want to let you guys know something. The reason i made this fan fic is because I'm inspired to be a writer, and I love code lyoko. I figured one way to put my writing out there was to do a fan fic. It wasn't a hard choice to make since I had wanted to do one anyway. I'm not in for the "amount" of comments even though it makes me really happy when I get one. If you guys have any suggestions on how I right or again if you would like to see something happen just tell me in pm or comment. Thank you to those who do comment! Especially Muffinmilk317 for writing a comment every chapter! Thank you guys! :) XD
