-sigh- I am soo tired. This was a bad week. And a bad day. But, that doesn't matter. Anyway. This chapter is pretty shitty. Lol. The beginning I wrote while I had writers block, and makes absolutely no sense. When the scene switches to "Elsewhere" and we join Hilary in her anguish, is where my writers block stopped. So yea. This chapter really, really sucks, and im really sorry. It was deff not worth the wait. OOCness, shit grammar, shit plot, really confusing, shitty author (me), and doesn't make any sense at all. At least there's only one chapter left tho. So yea. I'm soo disappointed with this chap, you will be too.

Ray: Moonlight Serenity doesn't own beyblade, the song "Snow White Queen", Evanescene or any of their songs, and Nelly Furtado or any of her songs. She owns the OCs previously mentioned, and the totally crazy guy chasing Hilary.

Kai: on with the fic!!

Very, Very Important!!! If you don't read you will get veryy confused!!: This chapter we really experience first hand the crazy guy…he is EXTREMELY insane, and disturbing, so if you'll have problems with this, I'm just going to give you the heads-up now. Lol. It shouldn't be too bad, and I believe you guys were kind of expecting this. And before you can wonder, my stalker wasn't quite this crazy, he never called me an "angel" and like truly meant the heavenly creature, or "demon", he was just –and still is- obsessed with me. I will clear up again, that despite the song sounds somewhat like "rape" in this story, it isn't. Hilary was NOT and is NOT raped. I can, as mentioned before, really relate to this song (not referring to rape tho.). When you really hear the song tho, and look deeply into it, it doesn't have to be about rape, it's more like… like the emotions that run through you, and how deeply you're effected, what it seems like to go through the whole ordeal of unwanted "obsession". Lol. I sound like a psychiatrist. I'll also tell you that the song has like a P.O.V. change in the lyrics, the verses are the victim/stalked, and the chorus "You belong to me, my snow white queen, there's nowhere to run so lets just get it over, soon I kno you'll see, your just like me, don't scream any more, my love, cuzz all I want is you" is the P.O.V. of the stalker. And actually, Amy Lee (lead singer of Evanescence) wrote this song because she was being stalked by crazed –like, literally crazy, psycho- fans. So yea. Lol.

One More Thing: if text is like :"this": (the colon, quotation marks, italics, and words in it), it means it's the lyrics of the song, and no one is actually singing it. It's just kinda repeating in Kai's head, and in the back of Hilary's mind. Also: the word "Nani" means "what" in Japanese.

Oh, I'll also let you know, that before Kai went to check on Hilary, they all talked some more and listened to the song.

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

Stage Name: Hiromi Tachibana

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

Kai gaped at the scene before him; he had too much information to process as it was…but now…now he was in the room where he laid Hilary/Hiromi, and there were signs of a struggle, and the window was open, and she was gone.

Chapter Eleven:

Lyrics of the Scared

"Get in here!" His voice was hoarse, commanding. He wanted their asses in there now!

"Wh-What's wrong, Kai?" It was Tyson's voice, still sitting in the room with everyone else just ten minutes after they'd heard the song Hilary had written in the hospital after she'd been attacked. Cindy said Hiromi didn't speak for a month after the incident, just writing the lyrics of that song, always, fervidly, in black, green, blue, brown, and red ink. The teen's skin –Hilary's, just after the incident- had gone ghastly pale, and her eyes haunting. The story Cindy and Lawrence had told…just, wow… it had taken so much for that girl to move on, to become the smiling girl they knew. No wonder "Hiromi" had been disbanded.

"Get your asses in here!" Kai yelled again. Where was she? "Now!" Instantly, all the people in the sitting room were out of their chairs and heading for Hilary's bedroom where Kai was calling from, but despite their pace was rapid, Kai didn't find it fast enough, and met them at the door. "She's gone."

"What?" Cindy had cried out. "What do you mean she's gone?!" Just as the words escaped her lips she saw past Kai and into the room. It was in shambles, and Hilary was gone. The curtains blew knowingly, bidding the ones in the room to the truth: an open window.

"She...She…" Cindy muttered, losing it slowly. She rapidly shook her head, "It's gotta be him…"

"Cindy, you…you might be jumping to conclusions?" Ray poised, trying to lead the subject away.

"I'm not, Ray, I know Hilary so well, I can feel her…it was him…" Cindy seemed distant for a moment before her eyes narrowed, "Go back to the old HQ, I heard you passed it on your way back from the club. Go! We'll alert the authorities!" That was all Kai needed before he dashed out of the room, the BBA Revolutions at his heels.

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

:"Stoplight, lock the door; don't look back; undress in the dark; and hide from you, all of you":

Oh, how the mind loved to toy with a person. It felt like eons ago Kai had made the discovery, and it felt like he'd been running towards that building for eternity. His feet sloshed through puddles and padded roughly over the dirty, rain-covered New York City sidewalks. The night was cool and the rain was pouring now; how fitting…she was broken when it was raining, and she would die when it was raining. Kai coarsely bit the inside of his mouth after thinking such a thought, tasting coppery blood. She was not going to die! He wouldn't let her! And now, that song that Cindy had played for them over such a scratchy tape was now repeating in his mind, over-and-over, clawing at his insides. He could even envision her ruby eyes as the lyrics played on, staring up at him, reaching out…trying to escape.

:"You'll never know the way your words have haunted me; I can't believe you'd ask these things of me; you don't know me---now or ever!":

Why didn't she tell him? That was a brilliant question. Why didn't she tell any of them? Before or after they'd learned her identity? Now she could die because of it… He shook his head as he jumped around three people on bikes, being called a "Hooligan." He knew why she didn't tell him…She didn't want them to get hurt, but he guessed she didn't understand that if she got hurt, it would hurt him …it would kill him. He dodged random people coming down the street, yet again.

"I will find you."

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

Elsewhere:

:"You belong to me, my Snow White Queen; there's no where to run, so let's just get it over; soon I know you'll see: you're just like me. Don't scream anymore, my love, cause all I want is you.":

The flush was vivid and apparent on her cheeks, obviously showing her illness. Through her ruby eyes, you could see her mind at work. Through the midnight light, you could see the tears she was currently holding back with her labored breathing. 'Not again…' her mind strained as she tried to think. She was cold, her mind registered, but she was burning up at the same time. She was sitting, leaned against a corner in the lightless, derelict ex-HQ of De Glamour Records. Her feet were bare, and she realized she still had her clubbing outfit on aside from the shoes. She smirked lightly through the daze and let her head loll back against the wall behind her.

"You said you would come back and get me…you said it…and now, here I am," Her voice cracked, and then turned to sobs, "Here I damn am!" Her eyes suddenly flicked up at the sound of another voice.

"Yes, Hiromi-chan, you are damned. A damned angel. I will free you," It was that same voice that haunted her flashbacks, stayed decaying in her memory, and sent shivers down her spine. She could feel the sweat on her brow.

Hilary, however, was older now, and no longer afraid, just angered beyond belief. She'd had it with this bastard! She felt her anger flare.

"I am not an angel!" She screamed. "You're a twisted sonofabitch, do you know that!?" Her voice was high, cracking, loud, and unforgiving. She was facing her demons. This was her chance to face the trauma in her life, head-on, and utterly annihilate it. "You damned me! YOU DAMNED ME! I was FREE! And you locked me away!" Metaphorically speaking.

:"Wake up in a dream; frozen fear; all your hands on me; I can't scream":

"Dammit!" She screamed, her voice hoarse. "I lost everything!" She cried out, "I lost myself, I lost my present, I lost my future! Everyday, your words played over and over in my head, filling me with your insane rants," Her eyes went crystalline as she remembered, "You might of well have killed me," Her eyes returned to her normal color, filling to the brim with tears, "The only good thing that ever came out of this…this…this shit you did, was I found friends…true friends…who could save me without knowing they could do it…I found the love of my life... I found Hilary Tatibana!" She began to shakily raise herself from the wall, "And you're back to screw it all up again." She rose to a standing position, leaning on the wall for support.

:"I can't escape the twisted way you think of me; I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep":

"I don't think so." She declared strongly, ignoring the soreness of her throat. She looked up, her ruby gaze finally meeting his dead on. "I don't think so! I have a life to live for! A life I revived! And I refuse to give it up!"

"Demon!" The man cried out. "You've possessed Hiromi-chan!" Hilary almost grinned, pushing her bangs from her face.

"Don't you get it? There is no Hiromi Tachibana! My name is Hilary Tatibana! And do you want to know what and who I am? I am assistant coach to Bladebreakers/BBA-Revolutions/G-Revolutions. I am a singer, I grew up singing. I am loved. I love. I like sitting on the beach. I like babysitting. I like watching my team beyblade." She kept looking at him "I am the girlfriend of Kai Hiwatari. I am 'the wicked witch of the eight grade'. I'm even a bitch," She knew exactly what she was saying as it poured from her insides, "Hiromi Tachibana is only a part of Hilary Tatibana." Her eyes pierced him as well as her very soul.

:"I don't sleep!":

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

With the BBA Revolutions:

:"You belong to me, my Snow White Queen; there's no where to run, so let's just get it over; soon I know you'll see: you're just like me. Don't scream anymore, my love, cause all I want is you.":

"Hilary!" Kai ran through the rain. He could feel it running down his face, most likely carrying remnants of his blue face-paint with it. His slate and navy hair was matting itself to his alabaster, chill-bumped skin. He skidded to a stop. "Dammit. Where are you?"

"Kai! Kai! Slow down!" Ray heaved, leading the rest of the Bladebreakers onward through the relentless rain. Kai looked up through his bangs at the neko-jin.

"We have to find her," Kai commanded. Ray nodded.

"I know, Kai," He tried to catch his breath. They now stood before a large, grimy entryway that had been blocked off with wooden boards. Windows on the building were busted, rats were crawling over cinderblocks. This was the ex-HQ of De Glamour Records. This was where his Hilary was…he could feel it.

"How do we get in?" Ray asked, nodding at the door.

"We could break it down," Tyson said. "We can't wait out here…it's…she could be…right now…" Max brought his hand up to silence the navy-haired world champion.

"We know, Tyson," Max said, "We gotta knock it down." The team nodded. The champion team began to pry away boards without hesitation, throwing them out of the way; however, a lock was now stopping them. Kai glowered at the silver object. Ray found it was his turn.

"Back up," He warned. In almost two-seconds, Ray had jumped in the air, twisted, and landed a kick right to the lock…breaking it off, watching as it landed on the ground with a click. Daichi and Kenny pushed the doors aside.

"We're in." Suddenly, their hearts jumped to their throats at the sound of her voice.

"I don't think so! I have a life to live for! A life I revived! And I refuse to give it up!" She was shrill, commanding, screaming.

"Demon!" A male voice yelled back.

They raced up the steps rapidly, turning corners and following the sound of her voice. They could hear her panting, they could feel the man's terror, but they could also feel him grinning. Kai feared -though he would never admit it. Ray listened to her declarations, telling that man who she was. She'd really saved herself. She was facing her fear. 'Please keep talking, Hilary, it's the only way we know you're okay,' Ray thought. Suddenly, Ray felt his heart lurch to his throat. Max's eyes widened.

"Hiromi Tachibana is only a part of Hilary Tatibana." They heard that declamation and then… "AH!" They heard her screaming.

"Enough!"

"Leave me the hell alone!" Kai felt like all the air had been sucked from his throat. "No!"

"Thy demon! Banish ye to the bays of hell! Revive the angel of Hiromi as you fall into the pits of flames, to be dealt with accordingly for your vile crimes against the angels."

"Ahh!!" She sounded like she was yelling in fear and pain, "No!" That no, unlike the first that seemed like a command, sounded like an unbelieving no. Kai turned a corner, picking up to a desperate pace as he raced forward.

"Hilary," Max whispered, pushing back tears.

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

:"I can't save your life; though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting; I'm losing my mind, and you just stand there and stare as my world divides!":

"Enough!" He roared at her last proclaimed statement. He couldn't stand her stare, her eyes piercing him coldly. He lunged forward quickly. Hilary's eyes widened. This was the real fight. The announcements were only the beginning of this rocky battle, this was the real brawl. In her sickened state, her vision was blurry, and the best she could do was throw herself to the floor. His fist crashed into the wall, and she glared up defiantly.

"You're crazy," She told him, then yelled in mental anguish, "Leave me the hell alone!" He turned to her, taking aim with his fist; he ran at her, quickly. She stuck her foot out, "No!" He crumbled to the floor as she tripped him. He looked back up at her, nose bloodied, eyes-blazing.

"Demon," He said again, gathering himself, "Thy demon! Banish ye to the bays of hell! Revive the angel of Hiromi as you fall into the pits of flames, to be dealt with accordingly for your vile crimes against the angels." He drew his knife and lunged at the girl who was already slipping in and out of consciousness. The knife went through her stomach.

"Ahh!" She cried out, shutting her eyes as she felt the tears burn. He with drew the knife from her abdomen. She coughed up blood, and it dripped from her mouth and stomach. "You…you're…even…crazier…than…last time…" She managed to force out, her voice hoarse, her eyes squinting trying to fight away the pain. His eyes blazed. He made no reaction except to place the knife back in his pocket. He growled.

"Banish ye," His hand reached forward, grabbing her throat. She felt her eyes stinging, her throat stinging, her body stinging, everything hurt with burning flames…but… she would live; she swore it.

"No." She whispered, using her vanishing effort to reach her hand to the hand at her throat. Hilary managed to grasp it, clutch it, sinking her nails into the skin, shakily grip it and try to bring it away from her throat. "No." She whispered again.

"Die." He grudgingly whispered through the thick night air, easily brushing her hand away. She gasped when she felt him move her hand away from his, then clutch her throat harder, before out-of-nowhere completely throwing that fist and crushing her throat.

"No!" It was an unbelieving gasp from her throat…maybe she would die. Another tear fell from her eye. She began to speak to the one she loved, despite the pain coursing through her throat with each word, "At least…you'll be…all right…this…is why…is why…I didn't tell…I'll miss you…I'll miss you all…but…I want you…to…to know…I'm…not a-…afraid." She spoke. The man gazed at her. "And to you-" She said to that man, "I hope pain will course through your body when I tell you once again: I am not Hiromi Tachibana. I am Hilary Tatibana." Another tear fell from her eye; she'd used up all her energy. "Goodbye, Kai," Her eyes closed; a tear splashed to the ground.

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

He ran in just in time to hear her goodbye. He ran in just in time to hear her say who she was once again. He ran in just in time to watch that tear splash to the ground.

"Hilary!" The murderer's eyes flashed up, and when he saw the teens in the room, he was consumed in fright. Max and Ray gazed unbelievingly at Hilary. Kenny took Daichi outside the door. Kai and Tyson furiously flew at the man.

"Agh!" Kai cried out as he ran at the bastard. Max and Ray were at Hilary's side, searching for signs of life, and Max attempted to stop the bleeding.

"Go, Dragoon!" Tyson yelled, launching his beyblade to thrash the man, stopping him in his tracks. Kai yelled in fury as he dove onto the man, throwing multiple punches.

"You bastard!" He yelled, "Murderer!" Kai could hear Ray and Max murmuring, practically feel their tears…and then…though he wiped them quickly, felt his own at their words.

"She's not breathing, Max."

"Nani?" the blonde seemed shocked, "No! We can't be too late!" Kai threw another punch. The man was weak. The man's head lolled back as he fell into unconsciousness.

:"You belong to me, my Snow White Queen; there's no where to run, so let's just get it over; soon I know you'll see: you're just like me. Don't scream anymore, my love, cause all I want is you.":

Kai could see flashing police lights coming through the window, and he could hear the sirens. He ran to her and dropped to his knees, pushing Max and Ray aside.

"Hilary?" He shook her shoulders lightly. "Hilary." He said it again as steadily as possible. "Good God, don't do this to me, Hilary!" His voice was stern.

"Kai…she's…it's no use…she's…" Ray began, wiping the tears that were falling.

"Gone…" Max finished for Ray. Kai's head dropped, and he scooped her up in his arms. The rain steadily hit the window, pattering lightly. The room fell absolutely silent. Kai leaned his head forward and moved his mouth towards hers, just to kiss her one last time, brushing his warm lips feather-softly against her freezing ones.

"I'm sorry…" He parted his lips from hers, and glanced at her with glassy, hollow eyes, hugging her one last time before laying her gently back to the floor.

By this time the law enforcements had gathered around them, Cindy, Lawrence, and Reevy as well, just…watching.

"She…" Cindy whispered, tears spilling over her pale cheeks.

"Dammit." Lawrence muttered. Everyone was so focused on the falling tears that only two people heard the faint noise.

"Nani?" Reevy whispered. Kai glanced at his girlfriend, who'd just been taken from his grasp and put on a stretcher, a blanket being drawn over her head.

"Reevy, what is it?" Cindy asked. The noise occurred again. It was a cough. Cindy's eyes widened. "She's…breathing…" The blanket was drawn from her face, only to see her coughing up blood, scrunching her face, and trying to fill her air with lungs despite her lack of consciousness, but only seeming to fail miserably. Hilary's body was appearing to go into shock, still trying to fight for life, but seeming to lose.

"Hilary-chan!" Cindy called out.

"Hilary!"
"Hilary, don't give up!"

"We're all here, Hilary!" Her friends tried to beckon her to stay with them.

"Hilary," Kai whispered in awe. He closed his eyes. "Please, God, don't let her die."

"Hilary-chan!"
