"You have failed us, Bornsa." Phobos' voice echoed through the antechamber. The entire throne room was covered in shadow. The soon to be King Phobos was covered in these shadows so one could only see his eyes. Beside him in a second throne, though smaller and lower than his own, was another set of eyes. Glowing bright red and glaring at the wounded man.

"It is not my fault your majesty." Bornsa cried out. "The girl has someone protecting her."

"Are you saying the powers that your king has given you were stopped by someone that you cannot give us a description of?" A female voice spoke in anger. The red eyes narrowed as she spoke.

"It was a woman. Wearing dark clothing and wielding a long blade." Bornsa cried. He stood which caused blood to squirt some from wounded arm. He winced, and then noticed that the prince had stood.

"You know the price of failure." Phobos growled and lifted his hand. Bornsa tried to beg but a green beam shot from the prince's hand and instantly vaporizes the man. Phobos then sat and stared across his throne room. The prince himself had grown intolerant of failure after he reclaimed the throne of Meridian.

"Perhaps if there was a way for me to return." The female voice cooed the prince. He grumbled and watched forward. It was the woman's own spell that made her unable to travel back to Earth. Phobos didn't need his soon to be queen to get the job done. He needed someone who could get the job done, or something. The prince waved his hand through the air and a stir started as a small creature that was made out of stone ran like a gorilla into the area before the two.

"Go to Earth." He shouted as more creatures pulled themselves out of the ground behind the first one. A fold ripped open before him and he smiled. "And bring me that world's heart. I have given you the knowledge of what she looks like."

The creatures shouted and sped into the fold. Their target would be to the prince before the night was over.

Lillian burst through the Silver Dragon's door and placed her back against the door. Both Hay Lin and Yan Lin looked at the girl as they stopped working on cleaning up for closing. Lillian was still breathing heavy and fast before Yan Lin helped calm her and went to make tea. Once she returned she explained what happened. The attack, the woman, and the message that she gave to the blonde haired girl.

"Phobos' power has grown much. He can create folds himself." Yan Lin sighed in what Lillian could assume was defeat. She then turned her attention to Hay Lin, who had only stopped sweeping the floor upon hearing that Phobos attacked Lillian, but she just apathetically went back to what she was doing.

"I want to stop being in the dark." Lillian stood up and shouted. She couldn't stand it anymore. All she knew about this was that she was able to control very powerful magic, and that the jewel on her neck possessed the same thing. Who was this Phobos? Why did he want her? She also didn't know anything about the woman or the strange man in white.

"It's better if you are in the dark." Hay Lin said in an annoyed tone. "It's easier to protect you that way."

"Why do I need to be protected? I can take care of myself. And who is supposed to protect me." Lillian places a hand over her chest. She wanted her questions answered and yet all that she was getting was more questions.

"You need to be protected because if Phobos or another being was able to steal your power then they could take over not only this world, but all worlds." Yan Lin explained. She went on to tell the blonde haired girl that it was Hay Lin and her friends that were the ones who had to protect her, but now she was unsure of what was going to be done. Only the Oracle could appoint new Guardians or the heart could choose them, but it hasn't reacted for four years. It might not be until Hay Lin was Yan Lin's age that the heart would choose, but by that time it could be too late.

--------------------------

He walked down the empty city street. His shoes creating little interaction with the ground. His eyes stayed covered by his white hood, and that is when he stopped. Entering a ready stance he turned his head to see the woman that had saved Lillian from the man.

"Why are you here Keyblade Wielder?" Her whisper echoed through the skyscrapers of the city. She approached him slightly. Keeping her hand on the hilt of her sword.

"The Society protected the heart. Why?" He spoke as he turned so that his full body was in front of her. Facing this woman.

"You can't see her for what she is Wielder." The woman laughed a bit. She drew the long silver blade that flashed the moonlight. With a flick it was on her side.

"What would she be?" The wielder raised his hand and the key formed from light. He pointed the tip toward the woman.

"She is the one who will take over the legacy." She hopped out of the way of the boy's first swing. She then blocked the next attack. She knocked the key back and swung. She cut into the white cloth. She skidded backward. Blood dripped from the wound that was now across his chest.

The man growled as light wrapped around him. He then vanished quickly before the next strike came. The girl's face scrunched as she sheathed the blade and also vanished from sight.

-----------------------------

"So this guy in white is after my power too." Lillian asked calmly. Her fist was clenched tightly around the pink jewel. From what the elderly woman had said stated that people would come at her from all angles. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't protect herself from it. She turned towards the door and marched off through it. Lillian just wanted to go home now, and maybe she would teach herself how to protect herself.

Both Yan Lin and Hay Lin called out to her, but the blonde wasn't listening anymore. She flipped her headphones off her neck and back onto her ears, and walked through the quiet streets.

She arrived at the base of her apartment complex and walked toward the door. She was about to enter the building when someone grabbed her shoulder. She spun quickly and grabbed tightly to the person's wrist. That person though happened to be Chris.

"You shouldn't sneak up on people." Lillian scolded the boy as she let go of him. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest. "If I knew Judo you'd be hurt pretty bad right now."

"You'd never hurt me." Chris placed his hands on the back of his head and looked at the girl. "Would you?"

"Depends on the situation." Lillian had turned and entered the building with the red head not far behind. The two made it into Lillian's apartment. Lillian was surprised that her parents weren't home yet, and something seemed off.

Chris was quick to make his way to the couch while Lillian took her time. Something was watching her. She felt eyes all around her, but what could it be. She didn't see anything. Chris was speaking to her but she now couldn't hear him. Then her chest tightened. It was the same thing that happened…when the man in white was around.

Lillian's world went black as she fell over into the back of the couch. Her body was entirely limp. She could still hear Chris' voice. She felt him shake her, but she wouldn't move. She couldn't move. Why couldn't she move?

Chris' voice vanished at this. The shaking stopped. Did he go for help? What was going on?

----------------------------------------------------

"Get up," Lillian growled to herself as she opened her eyes. She was lying on the couch in her living room. The sun was up and looking as though it was about to set. Lillian looked at the clock and saw that the time read just two minutes after she had left for the Silver Dragon. Her book was still on her lap and her homework was still all over the place.

"You sleep pretty soundly." A voice brought the girl from her confusion. Her head turned to see the man in white once again. This time though the front of his white shirt and vest had a huge red splotch on them and looked to be cut open. He wore bandages over what Lillian assumed was a wound.

"Who are you?" Lillian questioned. She slowly stood. He formed the large key. She felt her chest tighten.

"I am the one who will save this world from darkness." He thrusted the key forward. Lillian ducked to the side and the beam of white light shot over her, much like it had done the night before. She started to stand again, but he was already there. Ready to make a point blank shot. It was then that the blue tear ripped open through the room. The boy batted a small rock creature aside with ease as a small force of them hopped from the fold.

"I guess I'll have to deal with these first." He turned to step towards them before collapsing slightly. He clutched his chest. Fresh blood was leaving his wound. This was bad. He couldn't protect the heart like this.

"Are you okay?" Lillian stood and questioned. She could tell he was hurt badly. She knew she should run. She was tired of running. She was going to stand and fight. This guy was attacking her. Yet he was protecting her. She felt the urge to help him.

"I am fine." The man shakily stood. He held his weapon in a manner that truly showed his injury. He couldn't tell what these things were. Were they monsters from the Society? No, that kind of attack wasn't their style. Besides the man that attacked the heart earlier wasn't a member of the society. These little rock things must be with them.

"I can help." Lillian now stood beside him.

"No, you should run. These beings mean to harm you." The man knocked three more away from them. His sword shattered their bodies instantly.

"You meant to harm me too." Lillian scolded in annoyance. She was still being treated as something that needed to be protected. Even though this wasn't a dream, or was it. She was starting to lose track.

"I am here only to protect this world." The boy said looking back at the girl. Suddenly, one of the rock creatures struck him across the temple. He slammed back first into the side bar of the kitchen.

One of the little things then grabbed her leg and pulled her to the ground. Two grabbed her arm while a fourth attached itself to another leg. They began to carry her towards the blue fold. The blue light that swallowed her sister the last time she had seen her. Were these things taking her to her sister? It was a possibility, but that one guy said something about a prince, or was that the dream. She was too confused.

"No," the boy shouted as the rest of the stone apes piled on him. They refused to let him move. Then the fold closed before they could escape. The woman from the dream had appeared and sliced the tear in half with her sword.

"That girl stays here." She said to the creatures. She snapped her fingers as they jumped her. The stone beasts were instantly vaporized. She then looked at Lillian, and back to the boy. "You should leave. The Society has put this heart under their protection."

"Society, what society?" Lillian asked as she stood.

"That's for a later date dear." She snapped her fingers as the boy and her became wrapped in shadows. "Do become stronger. We won't protect you forever."

With that the two vanished from the room leaving nothing but a lot of piles of dirt.

"Lillian Hale, explain why the house is filthy." Lillian's mother shouted at the girl who just gave the woman a confused grin. Lillian then sighed knowing that she was so getting grounded for this.

A/N: Okay this chapter was a little wierd for me to write because it changed like halfway through, and don't worry there is a perfectly logical explination for the crazyness of this chapter. You will all understand. Hopefully.
