You know, I'm really not getting the reviews that I thought I would with this fic.
Anyhow, a few of you did guess whom these two people where. One reviewer (elf-princess) got one
person, but no one got the second person.

Part Three of "Haunted"
'Deliverance...'
~~
Bit and Leon pushed their Zoids to the extreme as they crossed the barren wasteland. It was a
round midnight; the moon bathed the land in an eerie glow.
Bit growled as he thought to what promoted this midnight run.
~~
(Flashback...)
It was going on eleven, and still no words from the girls or their kidnappers. Steve was
nearly beside himself with grief, but Leon and Bit had a quiet anger raging within themselves.
Both were thinking of their letter left by the kidnappers, wondering who kidnapped their
beloved girlfriends and how much they would pay. A sudden realization made Bit gasp loudly.
"Theo!" Bit all but shouted and ran over to the computer.
Leon growled slightly at the memory the name caused, but he looked at Bit curiously. "What does
he have to do with anything?"
Bit ignored his girlfriend's brother's question as he examined old news articles. He found one
and stopped to read it. Bit cursed his luck; he had saw this articles months ago but paid no
heed to it.
"What did you find, Bit?" Leon asked. Bit merely pointed to the article, headed "Convict
Escapes Jail". As Leon skimmed through the article, the name of the convict was given out two
paragraphs down.
"Theo Maxwell..." Leon said, growling the name out.
Steve finally noticed Leon and Bit huddling over the computer. "What did you find?"
"Theo's escaped from jail. He probably had some part of Harm and Leena's disappearance." Leon
said.
Bit suddenly looked curious. "Does the name Apollo Leo sound familiar to either of you?"
Steve blinked. "Yeah, that's Harmony's father. Why?"
Bit growled again, but he didn't answer Steve's question. "Let's go Leon. I have an idea."
(...and End of Flashback...)
~~
Harmony woke up and found herself on a soft bed. She heard Leena's groan as she woke up.
"Harmony, where are we?" Leena asked softly.
"I don't know..." Harmony said softly.
"Harmony, Leena, it's pleasant to see you..."
Harmony gasped at the sound of the voice. "Father?"
The man sat down at the foot of Harmony's bed. She immediately jumped up and on to Leena's
bed. Leena looked at Harmony and then to her father. Leena growled as she remembered exactly
who this was and what this man had done in the past.
"Leave Harmony alone, Apollo." Leena said, sneering his name.
Apollo growled at Leena and stood up from his daughter's bed. "Ms. Taurus, I don't believe
you're in any state to be making demands. Theo, Rebecca, they're wake."
Theo came in and looked at Leena, a lovesick grin on his face. "Doesn't Leena look pretty, Aunt
Rebecca?"
Leena and Harmony's eyes opened wide at that. The little girl smiled at Theo, nodding.
Apollo, on the other hand, looked sick. "Theo, if you're part of this operation just so you
can ogle at someone who doesn't belong to you, I'll drop you off at the prison where I got you
from."
Theo looked offended, but Rebecca jumped to Theo's defense. "He's just a boy, Apollo. He's my
nephew. Just because my sister killed me doesn't mean that I don't hold fond feelings for my
nephew."
Leena and Harmony huddled into the corner, afraid for their lives and they watched an
over-dramatic soap opera play out before them.
Apollo looked at Leena and Harmony. "My, my... You two have found yourselves into an
interesting position. Let's begin two years ago. You defeat my ex-wife and her son..."
Harmony's eyes widened at that fact. "Lilac is not my mother!" She looked at Theo, who was
drooling, quite literally, at Leena. "I'm not related to that... thing!"
Apollo slapped Harmony across the face, knocking her off the bed. "Don't interrupt me girl.
Of course Lilac isn't your mother. I was only married to her for a year, and we never really
*did* anything."
Leena went to help her best friend off the floor, but Theo stopped her. He stopped her by
putting his arms around her and holding her close to him.
Leena instantly felt two things: sick (at the feeling of Theo so close to her) and her instinct
to fight back. She struggled against Theo, but two things were against her: Theo was taller and
heavier than she was and the fact her fighting skills were a tad bit rusty after not having a
solid fight against anyone in two years.
'I don't believe I let my skills get rusty.' Leena thought; ready to resort to the one thing
that would get her out of Theo's grasp.
She swung her leg backwards and kicked him in the nuts.
~~
Bit opened a COM-link up with Leon. "Are you sure we're heading in the right direction?"
Leon nodded. "Positive. This is the last place I remember Apollo living, and you never forget
a place that looks as creepy as it does."
Bit nodded, worry for Leena coursing through his veins. "You don't think Theo is with Apollo,
do you?"
"I wouldn't put it past Apollo, Bit." Leon said.
Bit looked worried. "How much longer until we're there?"
"About ten minutes." Leon said.
Bit nodded.
~~
Theo curled up into the fetal position. Before Leena had a chance to move though, Apollo
tackled the redhead to the ground. The fact that Apollo weighted more than one hundred pounds
than Leena stopped her from moving. Apollo brutally hauled Leena to her feet and threw her
into the wall. Leena cried out in pain and leaned heavily against the wall, holding her rib
cage.
"Rebecca! Deal with Leena." Apollo said as he grabbed his daughter by the wrist and pulled
her away from Leena.
"Let me go!" Harmony tried to get Apollo to release her, but her father held her tight.
Rebecca smiled and focused her gaze at Leena. Rebecca disappeared the same time that Leena
fell to the floor, unmoving and barely breathing.
~~
Rebecca smiled as she gazed at Leena's sadder memories. Suddenly, memories of Leena and Bit
together on a date appeared in front of Rebecca.
'So, she's trying to protect herself from me. How cute. Worthless, but cute.' Rebecca thought.
She began going through some of Leena's most depressing moments; her near-death experience with
Lilac, her mother's death, her brother leaving, Harmony's near-dead body after her father had
too much alcohol one night. Rebecca frowned and began to create new memories for Leena.
~~
Leena's inner-self knew that Rebecca had invaded her memory, and unconsciously began to fight
back. (Authoress: Oh, come on, we all have those little voices inn our heads, so don't act
like you don't know what's going on!) Leena tried to fight back but depressing memories were
beginning to filter into her mind and she couldn't fight anymore. Everything went completely
black.
~~
Harmony gasped as Rebecca disappeared. "Let me go! Now!"
Apollo slapped Harmony, giving the young girl a spilt lip. "Shut up."
Harmony glared at her father before turning her head back to her best friend and nearly
screamed. Leena's face was full of pain, but it suddenly went blank. "LEENA!"
Rebecca reappeared. "Her mind is so weak. She'll be up in a day or two though, but I highly
doubt she'll remember her 'new' memories."
Theo nodded. "Good work."
"Want me to invade your daughter?" Rebecca asked.
Theo seemed to think this question over, but he nodded. He threw Harmony against the wall.
Harmony tried to fight back, but Theo slapped her again. Harmony fell down, and Apollo kicked
her in the ribs. Apollo glared at his daughter and grabbed Theo, still nursing himself, and
dragged the boy away.
Rebecca smiled before she entered Harmony's mind.
~~
It was going on one a.m. when Leon and Bit made it to where they thought their girlfriends
were at. They left their Zoids about half a kilometer away from the building. The duo quietly
snuck through an open window on the group floor and made their way into the kitchen.
"Left or right?" Bit asked Leon.
"I'll go left, you go right." Leon told Bit.
Bit nodded and quietly went up the stairs.
~~
Rebecca left Harmony's mind and silently as she had entered it. She added some 'new' memories
to the older ones, but some of Harmony's memories were rather frightening, even for a ghost
like her. Rebecca looked at Leena, who still lie on the floor across from Harmony. The girl
was still comatose, but her breathing wasn't as shallow. Rebecca debated going back into
Leena's mind and adding more memories, but she had the feeling that Apollo needed her.
~~
Dun dun DUN! *snickers* How many of you actually thought that Apollo was one of Lilac's
ex-husbands? Hmm? And that Rebecca was Lilac's little sister? I'm sure some of you are
curious, so I thought I shove my notes for this part, so hopefully you'll be a little less
confused.

-Ex-husband of Lilac (first marriage)
-Harmony is product of second marriage
Theo-Lilac's son
-Product from Lilac's third marriage
