***************************************************

Sora slowly opened his eyes. He felt his head pounding and his body felt weak and cold. his hands were bound behind his back.

" Hmmmmm?"

He slowly sat up on the cold stone floor and looked around.

He was in a big dark circular room. Torches lined the gray stone walls casting dancing shadows on the floor. There was a small archway leading into anther room that he could not see to through the darkness.

He looked up and was greeted by a low stone ceiling which on it was carved the heartless symbol.

Memories rushed through Soras head and he doubled over in pain.

" It hurts doesn't it?" said a cold voice.

He looked up and seen none other then Maleficent standing in the entrance of the archway.

" Hello keybearer."

Sora's pain became so fierce he had to bite his tongue to stop himself from screaming out in pain.

" Surprised to se me?" Maleficent asked him.

" Not really.' Sora answered through gritted teeth. " I just expected to see you somewhere else. Like in Hell!!!"

Maleficent eyes narrowed.

" Don't try me keybearer.' She said angrily. " For I much of rather gone there."

" Then why didn't you?" Asked Sora angrily. " You would of done us all a big favor!!"

Maleficent decided to ignore the last comment and continue. " I didn't keybearer because my will to destroy you was to strong. I've been watching you over the last year. Watching you continue your life in piece with your friends and not have a care in the world!!!" She spat. " While I planned. Day and night. Trying to find a way to repay you for what you did to me back then. And then finally the answer came to me in a most unusual way.'

" And what's that!!?" Sora spat.

Maleficent smiled evilly. ' That's none of your business but I assure you, you wont be disappointed."

Fear grew in Sora's heart. But he kept his face set in a menacing glare as he watched Maleficent start to walk toward him.

" I could kill you right here right now if I wanted too."

She stopped in front of Sora and picked him up by the neck. Raising him to her eye level.

Sora choked and he felt her grip tighten.

Maleficent her other hand and a long, silver dagger with a black handle engraved with the heartless symbol and a red rose appeared in her clutch. The light of the torches flickering off its pointed edge.

" But what would be the fun of that?" She said evilly. And without warning she took the dagger and brought it slashing down, deep across Soras face.

Sora let out a very muffled cry but he stopped himself by biting his tongue.

He could feel the wound throbbing and his warm blood run down his face in thick streams.

Maleficent threw him across the floor.

" Oh, and by the way, that crystal you found on your that night? that was a gift. A gift from me to you. It seemed to take a very strong like toward your heart."

She let out a high cruel laugh and her staff glowed. And once again Sora felt what he now realized was his heart give a painful throb.

Maleficent head toward the archway.

" There's something I want to show you.' She said slyly. " shall we?"

Sora stayed where he was. He wouldn't fall for any of Maleficent tricks. He was smarter then that. He had to stay alive for his friends sake. For Kairi's sake.

Maleficent frowned and waved her staff.

Sora felt himself lift off the ground and his heart start to pull him toward Maleficent.

" I would obey if I were you." She said nastily.

Sora stopped in front of her and felt her dagger rip across his back.

He winced.

" Now move."

***************************************************

Yuffie and the others came home as soon as they could. She had callen Leon at work ( Enters tournaments at the Coliseum to earn money. Ring a belle?)

And rounded the others up into the living room.

" Leon will be here soon." She told them.

They nodded.

Riku was leaning against the wall and the others were sitting on the couch.

" Well, lets get to work. Now where would Sora be?"

Donald rolled his eyes. " Hallow Bastion."

" How do you know?" asked Riku.

" Where else?"

Everyone thought about this for a moment. Yuffie sighed. " he's right."

Everyone but her and Donald fell over.

" Hahaha!! I'm always right!!" Donald laughed in triumph

" Riku stood up angrily " Are not!!!"

" I am too!"

" Listen, I might not of known you as long as Sora but I know for a fact that the least thing you are is always right."

Donald raised an eyebrow( Me: He's a duck!! Its impossible I tell ya!!)

" I know for a fact you're a thick- headed show off who thinks he's king Tut."

Riku's eyes flared with anger. What the hell did you say!!?"

" Should I spell it out for you?"

" Why you little-"

Riku jumped on top of Donald. "I'm gonna fry you Duck!!"

Yuffie rolled her eyes and glared at him.

"Listen Riku, I understand your upset about Sora being kidnapped but you shouldn't take it out on Donald!!!!"

Riku and Donald continued to fight.

Yuffie sighed and looked over at Kairi. She was sitting over near the window.

" Goofy? You mind breaking this up?'

Goofy nodded. " You betcha."

" Thanks."

Yuffie walked over to where Kairi was sitting. " hey."

Kairi slowly turned to look at her. Her eyes were sad looking. " Hi yuffie."

Yuffie took a seat next to her. " You O.K?"

Kairi was silent for a moment. " yeah. I'm alright.'

Yuffie shook her head. " No your not/"

" What?"

" No your not alright. You shouldn't be. Your boyfriends been kidnapped and is going through who know what and your stuck here with a boy that trying to beat up a duck into L' Carnage."

Kairi gave a weak laugh.

" he's not exactly my boyfriend."

" What do you mean?"

Kairi sighed. " Well, ever since……. What happened, Soras been kind of distant from me…. And I think its because every time he looks at me he gets reminded of the past."

Her eyes slowly filled with tears.

" That's why we haven't spoken much."

Yuffie looked at her sadly.

" Me and Riku…. Suspected that the past has been bugging him a lot since he came here. That is, more then usual."

Kairi nodded.

They stared out the window for a few minutes.

Suddenly Yuffie stood up and smiled. " Then tell him!!"

" What?"

" How you feel!!"

Kairi Stared at her in shock. " Wh- Why?"

" Because!!! If you tell him how you feel maybe he'll forget the past and start to remember the good times you'll have together when you two become an item!!!!"

Kairi looked at her now confused. " I'm not sure.."

" Well lets go and find him before its to late!!"

Kairi looked at her. Maybe she was right…..

***************************************************

Sora did not obey.

And by the time Maleficent had gotten him where she wanted him, he was slashed open and bleeding badly from his back and arms.

' Some Christmas this is..' he thought.

Maleficent threw him to the ground and he quickly got up and looked around.

He was at the very top of Hallow Bastion. The stars were winking above him along with a bright new moon. He looked down and saw that he was standing on a big glass, circular floor decorated with elaborate black arrows and red hearts which all pointed to the big giant heartless symbol in the middle which Sora was standing on.

" You know what that is?" Asked Maleficent.

Sora didn't say anything.

" This is the Twilight Glass. The hidden part of Hallow Bastion. Its design is made up of the blood of the people who were killed or slain here. Ansem secretly created it as a mark. That just in case he did die, his plan would still move on. It states that the one who completes the picture shall be granted all his powers and darkness shall consume them."

Sora looked at the glass in disgust.

Maleficent smiled. " they picture has still not been completed though, you see?"

She pointed at a big blank spot in the middle of the heartless symbol.

Sora seen where this was going.

" So instead of just killing me on the spot you want me to paint a picture?" He said sarcastically. " Your hopeless."

Maleficent eyes flared. " Oh there's much more to it then that Sora." She said slyly. " You see, I may be evil but I just like any ordinary person like to get presents for Christmas."

Sora laughed. " The last thing you are is normal bitch."

Maleficent raised her dagger and sliced it swiftly though the air.

Sora's neck sliced open and blood poured from it.

He winced.

" Enough if this talk!!! Give me your heart keybearer!!"

She sliced the dagger again and he felt the other side of his neck slice open. The blood dripped onto the glass and the picture half formed.

Maleficent came toward Sora.

He back away and pulled hard on the bindings on his hands and they finally gave away. He summoned the key blade into his hand and pointed it at her.

" Don't move."

( Me: Go Sora!! Go Sora!! Its your birthday!! Its your Birthday!!)

He took his other hand and wiped the blood out of his eyes.

" Listen, I know your not the only one who came up with this brilliant plan. You said so yourself. Tell me who else is working for you?"

Maleficent smiled. ' Why don't you ask him?"

Before Sora could react, someone came up behind him, covered his eyes and stabbed him in the back. Sora cried out and he felt the person bind his hands again.

He struggled. " Let go of me!!!"

He aimed his keyblade at him but he felt the guy grab his hand, bend it back and slice his wrist.

Sora screamed for the first time and he dropped his Keyblade with a loud clatter and fell to his knees.

" Would you care to help me maleficent?" He herd the boy sneer.

" Gladly."

Fear rose in Sora. He tried to fight back but the boy grabbed him by his hair and pulled his head back.

" you might not know who I am," The boy whispered in his ear. " but I assure you, you will end up fearing me more then you ever had feared something in your life." And with that he felt the daggers rain down upon him. Slicing into his chest and back. He felt them twisting into his arms and slashing his face menacingly. Sora tried to fight but after awhile he gave up. He new it was hopeless. He was gonna die here. At Hallow Bastion. Darkness would consume him and he would never see his friends again. He would never see Kairi again.

Sora felt the daggers pull away from him and the boy drop him.

He laid on his back barely breathing staring at the stars above him. His body wet with blood dripping on to the picture finishing it forever.

He felt the pain in his heart again but this time it didn't even feel like pain. It felt soothing. The memories flashed past him and he watched them with fading eyes. Then suddenly out of no where he felt something plunge into his chest and into the very core of his heart.

He let out a scream of pain and looked down to see the hilt of maleficent dagger sticking out of his chest. He watched his blood run down his body and on to the glass.

' This is it'

He laid his head back down and his vision dulled.

' I lost'

And with that, Soras blood fell onto the last blank spot of the picture and his mind went blank.

' I'm sorry Kairi.'

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Maleficent watched with pleasure as the keybearer took his last breath. His blood fell onto the picture completing it forever.

Suddenly darkness erupted from the glass shooting high into the sky. The stars began to shine brighter and long beams of black energy shot down into Soras chest.

The darkness from the glass formed a big black ball in the sky and shot down into Sora in till there was none left.

Sora's heart floated out of his body and he was left there lying still as death.

The boy stepped out behind maleficent.

" Theirs your Christmas present."

Maleficent smiled. Her eyes glittering menacingly.

She walked over and grabbed Soras heart in her hands. It glowed dully.

" Are you happy?" Asked the boy.

" Very." Said Maleficent never taking her eyes off the heart.

She looked down at Sora's body.

" Do you know why the darkness entered him?" Asked the boy.

" yes. The one who completes the picture gains the powers of darkness. But its useless he's dead."

The boy smiled. " yes, but you have his heart which gives you access to that power."

Maleficent looked at him. " What are you aiming at?"

The boys smile widened. " I'm aiming at the fact that the fun doesn't have to end here. I can grant you a power that will make the boys friends suffer."

Maleficent thought for a moment and then smiled. " Tell me."
