Yume Silvershadow: Yeah riddles are awesome! Sorry about the typos, I thought that I had fixed all of them but apparently not. That love riddle sucked, I agree. It's mostly because I couldn't find a good riddle with the answer to it love, so I had to make one up myself and obviously I'm not a riddle writer. Holly did seem weak I suppose, but you have to rather consider the fact that she was fighting a ghost! There's really not much she could do to defend herself and it all happened really fast. Yeah, glare at Alanis. I'm trying to make a character that people just love to hate. How am I doing?

Chapter 6

"Yes, it's me," Alanis answered, reaching out to hug Artemis.

He pulled away. "What are you doing in Holly's body?!" A thought struck him. "Where did Holly go?!"

"She's still here, just dormant. I can explain everything later Artemis, is this really how you want to handle our first conversation in so many years?" She smiled bemusedly.

"I don't want to have it all explained to me later," he said, anger seeping into his voice. "I want to know now. How did you get here? Does it have anything to do with the tooth?"

Alanis sighed, but, knowing that Artemis would not relent, recounted the entire tale about how she came back to life. Artemis waited until she was finished, and then shook his head.

"Ally, you can't do this."

This time she was the one shocked. "What are you talking about? I already have!"

"No, you need to undo it. The past can't be changed."

"But isn't this what you want? To be with me?" She jumped to her feet, her face red with anger. "I know that you love me. I went through all of this to get back to you and now you want me to leave? But we can be together now! We can change what happened!"

"Not like this we can't," Artemis snapped, then his voice softened. "Ally, you're dead."

"Not anymore!"

"No, you're still dead, all you did was steal someone else's body. This isn't right, and it's not fair to Holly," Artemis said quietly, biting back tears. He couldn't break now.

"Holly?! What about us?! Don't you think that what we went through was unfair as well?! Don't you think that me dying was unfair?!"

"Of course it was unfair, but it was also suppose to happen. If you weren't meant to die in that car then you wouldn't have died, but you did. You're not suppose to be here. You have to go," Artemis looked up, his eyes pleading with her, then something changed.

Her eyes – Holly's eyes – had glowed with Alanis' softness, now they were burning fire. He had only seen such mad rage in one other person, and that elf had died an untimely and painful death. Her eyes scared him.

"So," she hissed, her voice threatening to spit venom. "You betray me for some destiny bullshit? You want me to go back to the grave and rot? Fine, I'll go back. But just know that I'm taking many, many people with me."

She then turned and stormed out of them room, slamming and locking the door behind her.

Alanis cast her eyes around the plaza, seeing all of the innocent, unsuspecting victims eating slushies or talking on cell phones. They had no idea what was going on.

She smiled.

A/N: Really short chappie I know but I wanted it to end this way and I couldn't make it do that without adding in some useless boring crap that no one would have enjoyed anyway. Hey, you see that little purple button in the corner? Push that button. Push it and type a review, you know you want to.
