Yeah!!! Chappy 10!!!!

One whole week for this chapter!!!

Now how bout we start this up?

"Are you really sure I should do this like this?" Hollie muttered as she put her black coat away and went to her outfit. Since a year she had changed her style from what she used to wear. Now she had a white tank top and a dark blue short jacket with a few cream yellow stripes here and there on the sleeves while silver was the color of the edges of the sleeves and the jacket's end and hood. To be able to fight she wore black solid short shorts under a jean skirt with a bit cut on her sides for free movement. She wore simple snickers of a light blue color. Her hair was completely down and now went all the way down to her waist and her bangs being held back by a couple of hair pins that just let away bits of her bangs.

"It's better if you go in unnoticed," the kind king still in the black coat answered in a whisper. "You should head over to the mansion first and hopefully try to get White Diamond from Sora before getting to the Station Heights."

"Mansion. White Diamond. Station Heights, got it," she called putting on a couple of leather gloves.

"Are you good with only your fists?" the king asked in concerned.

"Don't worry," she said winking and tightening her glove. "He trained me good. Besides with this control over one part of his darkness I can at least avoid the Heartless."

"Hope you're right," he hissed. Looking around he began walking outside followed by Hollie.

Once out of the station he turned to her once more, "Remember, after I leave him to go you'll have to follow him without being discovered."

"Yeah," she nodded with a serious look. After wards the king smiled a big smile as he ran towards town. Hollie instead then went towards the tunnels that connected Twilight Town.

By entering she clutched her arms together and shivered. Being it Twilight Town was great enough of not having enough sunlight, now she went into barely lit tunnels. "Now to the mansion, right?" she walked slowly towards the certain tunnel that went directly towards the haunted mansion.

Entering almost near there she began towards the mansion. When she got to the woods and towards the entrance of the mansion she stopped at suddenly hearing some tiny swirling steps behind her. At turning around she saw nothing but the darkness of the woods and the emptiness it carried.

"Getting…paranoid now," she whispered and turned towards the exit and continued walking. But to her luck as she saw before her Sora and the other two were coming her way still talking and not seeing her a few feet away. Startled she went and hid behind one of the huge oaks of the woods. As they just got past her she let her shoulders loose and sighed in relief. At opening her eyes the first thing she saw was her old keychain dangling from Sora's belt as it shone with the twilight.

"White Diamond…" she whispered shocked he still held it in his possession. "If I can get it back…" Suddenly something stroke her hair and turning she noticed a white Dusk trying to play with her hair. "Hey let go of it!" Hollie whined as she went back followed by the Dusk. Then when stepping back she accidentally tripped on a root coming out and went down. Turning the other way she noticed that Dusks had also gathered where Sora and the others where at. The white Dusk getting its chance ran one of its slithering hands to wrap around her wrist.

"Hey!?" she shrieked as she tried pulling away. Getting her free hand up she took a hit at the Dusk only to let her hit go through the swift creature. "Uh oh, not good," she said with sarcasm. The Dusk went feet first up a tree and wrapping its feet on a branch was now dangling upside down. With its other hand went after Hollie's neck and releasing her wrist tried to completely gain her neck. She tried to get free but she could feel her breathing shortened every time more and more.

"Let…go," she hissed through pieces of air as she noticed her vision getting blurry.

"Hang on!" his familiar voice called as her eyesight went completely black.

Sora swiftly hit the Dusk making its grasp on her off and sending her to the floor coughing loudly. After killing it and several others he cleared the area. Turning to her he stretched his hand in help.

"Sorry I couldn't get here earli-."

His stopping at mid sentence could only mean one thing for her.

"No…way," he whispered dropping to his knees and looking her straight in her eyes. "You're…alive."

"Thought I'd give in that easily," she said between clearing her throat and coughing.

"But…how?" he said helping her to her feet still confused.

"Got someone's help you can say," she said clearly.

"Someone's?" he repeated but shaking his head his big smile grew once again on his face. "I'm just glad you're not, well, not here."

"Sora," she said with a fearful voice. "Do you even remember who I am?"

"Of course I do," he said in confidence. "You're Hollie. You and…" he stopped straight again in mid sentence. "And Riku."

"It's good you can remember me," she said.

"What are you talking about?" he asked clearly not getting her. "Why would I forget about you? After all that…happened," his expression turned into sadness in an instant.

"Sora," she whispered knowing exactly what he would be thinking right about then and reached a bit with her arm. Not working so well for her side, he simply grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to embrace her tightly. "So…ra?" she hissed in disbelief of the situation they were in.

"I thought…" he sobbed holding her. "I thought you were gone for good back at Hollow Bastion." He pulled her back to meet her eyes, "But you didn't! And that's great!"

"Sora, I…" she whispered as suddenly another flare up took her vision and turning her eyes to a completely dark blue color almost looking black.

"Hollie?" Sora asked noticing. "Hollie!" he shook her shoulders as she snapped out of the vision.

"The Nobodies…" she hissed. "They've reached the Station Heights."

"Nobodies?" he repeated confused.

Letting free of her shoulders, Hollie immediately stepped back as she saw through the exit that leaded to the mansion. "I…I need to go!" she exclaimed.

"Wait!" he shouted making her turn around. At doing so she was surprised by the sudden toss he made to her and just by instinct catching the item.

"I believe that belongs to you," he called.

Opening her clasped hands, Hollie saw the White Diamond keychain shining. Looking up she saw the sincere smile that he had in his face. Somehow that smile seemed like she'd felt it somewhere else…with the same warmth.

"Yeah," she said as she went on to run towards the mansion.

Getting the open gates she slowly walked past them as she went in the front lawn and to the inside of the mansion. Looking around for any enemies and seeing none she headed towards the second floor. Opening the door just to peek, Hollie entered the White Room. This was the first time since she went to the room for some time. Noticing almost immediately she begin to examined the new drawings that where on the walls. Everything that had happened at Hollow Bastion, the Keyhole, also everything that Sora went through with Castle Oblivion. Looking on the table she noticed that there were some distinctive drawings of three people. A girl and two boys.

Reaching out for the drawing she noticed the girl was blonde, one boy was red haired while the other boy was blonde as well.

"Who…" she said thinking the rest of the question.

"Don't know," a tiny voice murmured as Hollie looked around. Then from the keychain two tiny lights came out and burst to the two little guardians.

"Hikaru…Yamiko," she hissed surprised. "Where have you been?"

"After we lost you at Hollow Bastion we hid inside White Diamond," Yamiko explained.

"And that is not the most comfortable place to live for a year," Hikaru added.

"Why did you say you didn't know?" Hollie asked changing the subject.

"If you don't how do we?" Yamiko said.

"Right," she said remembering the stuff they could and couldn't do. Leaving the drawing aside she exited the room and went directly to the room on the first floor. At entering she saw the main dinning table smashed to the ground. Also all the dusty furniture and decorations.

"Nice place to live," she said sarcastically.

"Filthy," Hikaru complained covering her mouth and nose.

"How'd you wined up here?" Yamiko asked.

"Don't know, don't really care," she answered coming close to a dusty drawer. At opening it she saw the empty inside.

"There's nothing in it," Yamiko said confused.

"Yet," Hollie added as she got two confused looks. Putting her hand to the side of the opened compartment and pushing it making a small piece come out in the inside like a trap door. Both made an amazed sound as Hollie opened the closed trap door. Pulling upwards she uncovered the distinctive necklace of hearts and jewels. Getting it out and holding it out in front of her eyes.

"You kept it!" they both chanted.

"Of course I did," Hollie answered. "They all gave me an awesome experience."

"So what now?" Hikaru said.

"Since I got what I came looking for," she explained putting the jewels away in her pocket. "We should be heading towards the station by now."

"Then let's go!" Yamiko called excited.

Both Hikaru and Hollie smiled at her enthusiasm. Suddenly from the back of them something came swirling in. Instantly it launched over to grab Hollie by the neck and began to strangle her.

"Ah! Let…go of me!" Hollie shouted trying to hit the sneaky Dusk that was trying to kill her.

"Hollie!" the two little ones exclaimed. Suddenly four more Dusks appeared. Two of them got a hold of the creatures as the other two helped the first one carry Hollie into a black and silvery portal. At tossing her in, she ended up being at the outside gates of the Haunted Mansion.

"Well, well, well. You're another weakling just like any other of your stupid friends," a voice called.

Hollie stood up, "Who are you?! Show yourself!" She got White Diamond out in an instant.

"You don't have to be so mean to me," the female voice called again mockingly. Then a black portal appeared in front of her as a black coated silhouette appeared with its face under the hood. "How 'bout we try playing nicely and see how that works out."

"You…" Hollie hissed looking at the black coat. "You're one from that Organization XII!"

"You mean was," the female explained.

"What?"

The girl giggled almost teasingly, "You know sometimes you can be so naïve."

"Who are you?!" Hollie demanded.

"Why so mad…Hollie," the girl said.

Hollie gasped at the sudden hit of information. "That's it," she hissed as went towards the silhouette and gave her a hit with her Keyblade.

The girl not moving simply put her right hand up and like nothing stopped the swing with her hand. Hollie looked shocked at the force that the girl was using. Under the hood a single smirked was seen from the female as with extreme force stroke Hollie's blade back and onto the ground. Sitting up Hollie was restrained by a black blade threatening her throat and chest.

"You seriously thought that weak power of light from your Keyblade would defeat me?" the female called in a smirk.

"If not light…" she thought. She made a firm fist with one of her gloved hands. She then twisted her free hand upon the blade and made a wide open space for an attack. "Then its darkness!" she made her way for the open space with her fist. The girl catching up to her movements flinched back and covered herself with her hands as a dark shield came from her back protecting her. At landing the hit Hollie felt as if she landed on a soft pillow and soon the soft mass began to swallow her fist.

"A dark entity that came from the heart of that person dear to you…" the girl hissed. "Attacking with something that is not yours is somehow reckless."

"What?" she gasped as the mass now came to half her arm. She tried to wipe the mass off as more and more came, "Let me go!"

"Can't we play a lil' more?" she asked smirking mischievously. As the mass suddenly burst into her like steel bullets. A direct hit came towards Hollie as she covered her face but began to feel the wounds of the black things that were barely snatching away at her clothes. But then suddenly something struck her. A sharp pain she recognized very well.

"Not now," she hissed as she grasped her chest tightly.

"What's wrong Hollie? Can't keep up with me?!" the figure shouted as she directed her hand towards Hollie for more force. Suddenly her hand flinched back a bit as she slightly glanced over her shoulder. From behind her came a dark portal like hers and out came a tall figure. "Humph, seems like the knight in shining armor came to your recue." She gazed over to Hollie again, "But due mark my words. Though I'm far you'll never get reed of me. I'll never loose to you." Then wrapping her inside the shield of black feathers she disappeared.

The tall figure ran to Hollie as she began having a hard time breathing, "Hollie, can you hear me? Hollie?!" She didn't answer. Her breathing was getting harder by the second. Then the figure from his coat got a crystal bottle with an elixir inside. "Drink it." He held the bottle up to her mouth. Barely opening her eyes she saw the bottle and almost immediately grabbed and began drinking the liquid. Before she could finish up half the bottle he took it away from her. "You can't depend solely on it. You've got to fight it back."

"No," she gasped desperately trying to reach the bottle from him but only grabbing his chest. "I can't. It hurts to much."

"You can," he whispered placing his forehead on hers. "I know you can." Trying hard to shun the pain she simply closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Shortly then her breathing became more fluid and she finally regained control.

"You need to find the last pieces. You're getting too affected by this. By what I did o you," he emphasized his guilt.

"I'll deal with it I promise," she said standing up.

"You say that but what if it becomes too much for you to bare!" he protested her stubbornness. "What if something happens while you're fighting?! What if-."

"Don't you trust me?!" She shouted back making him stop. "I trust you, now give me a chance. Trust me," she whispered.

"I do," he answered sincerely. "But I just don't…want to loose you again," he whispered barely getting the whole sentence out.

"You don't?" a male voice called making both turn with their weapons only to face a man transparent leaning against the walls of the mansion. His body barely visible and his face totally unseen.

"Who are you?!" Hollie demanded walking forward followed by him.

"No one and someone at the same time," the figure said standing from its place.

"Don't joke with me!" Hollie called as she raised her weapon.

"I am Nights, for those who know me by my street name, a lonely sacker of ungrateful rich people once I was. I'm here in her Majesty's behalf," he said as he bowed a bit down before looking at them again.

"Her Majesty's?" he asked confused.

"Maybe you know her," The man said as suddenly he put his hand on where his eyes where to be only to move something like a mask on his face, putting it back on place revealing a couple of similar sapphire eyes for a mere second. "She's her Majesty, Queen Lace."

"Queen Lace?" he repeated confused.

"Ahh!" Hollie threw her Keyblade out of rage at the figure that simply jumped to the wall. "You're lying!! You're lying!!" she yelled with all her rage. Falling to her knees she simply kept repeating to herself hissing.

"Believe what you want. Though know this Milady. My dear queen was never the one proclaimed by others, for she herself didn't know who she was being puppetiered by. If you must be acquainted with further more then find me again. Work alongside the 'chosen one by the Keyblade' and search for my mark, the sign of the black incrusted Raven. There I will accept your request," he disappeared briefly after leaving no trace.

"Are you alright?" he asked holding her shoulders as he spoke. "Who was he talking about? Queen Lace?!"

"She…" Hollie murmured in tears. "Queen Lace…was my mother…"
