Linetra awoke from her slumber and noticed she was somewhere else, she saw that she was on a bed made of steel but it was kind of comfortable. Linetra tried to get up, but she flinched by her injury on her mechanical stomach, she saw bandages around her stomach with a spot of blood on them. 'Shit! This thing must have been deep by that Heartless…'

Linetra heard footsteps from a room nearby, she got out of bed even if the injury was hurting her. Only one of the skeleton duo came to see how she was, and it was the shorter one "I see you're out of bed, mademoiselle". Raoul walked towards Linetra, holding a potion of some type. "Why am I here skeleton?"

"Don't worry cheri, you're safe here with me and my brother"

Linetra was slightly confused about this "Before you try something on me, who are you and where am I" Raoul gave a chuckle at the question "Well, my name is Raoul, mon cheri, Raoul Phantom, and you are inside Twilight Town's clock tower" Raoul stretched out his bony arm towards Linetra as she gave a confused look. "Don't worry, it's just a healing potion, it will heal your injury"

Linetra gave a glare at Raoul as he gave her a trusting smile; she grabbed the potion and drank it with a single shot. "I see you're cooperating better than I expected"

"And by that you mean…"

"Nothing, I was just thinking that you were going to start attacking me and my brother"

Linetra was starting to understand Raoul about what he said, footsteps started to be heard again, she got in her battle pose, but Raoul lowered her quemical arms. "I see our guest is healed Raoul" The taller skeleton with the black mask appeared. "You haven't yet told me your brother's name"

Raoul forgot to mention his brother and he just gave an embarrassed look while the other skeleton glared at him before going towards Linetra "My name is Erik, Erik Phantom, Raoul's twin"

"If you guys are twins, why don't you look the same?"

"Me and my brother were born the same day but, somehow, we look different from one another" Erik said seriously to her, he looked pretty angry. Raoul looked ashamed and that made Linetra interested. "Okay, let's get off topic, have you ever heard of or met Jack Skellington?"

Raoul and Erik got shocked from what Linetra said "Jack Skellington? As in, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town?" Raoul said worried while Erik was very angry. "That no good son of a bitch?" Linetra was kind of surprised of their reactions 'This is even easier than I thought'. "Yeah, it's him; do you have a grudge on him or something?"

"We loath him" Erik said angrily "He's the reason our mother died." Raoul was very silent at the moment until he continued what Erik said "He killed our mother, Emily."

Linetra got a slight chill on her spine as she heard their mothers name "The corpse bride?" Erik and Raoul gave surprised faces at her "Yes, it is her, she was the corpse bride, everyone thought she rested in peace after what Victor Van Dort had done choosing Victoria Everglot besides her, but Jack wanted her dead, she died in the very same place were Barkis Bittern had killed her the first time "

"Ooookaaayyy, lot of info" Linetra said as she started to leave. "But, I really need to go now so, bye" Linetra closed the door behind her and was about to leave until Raoul came "I have one question cheri, may I go with you? If you have no problem with that…"

"Do you really want to? Your brother might not like this"

"On the contrary, I'm okay with it," Erik said, exiting the hidden place "IF I can join you" Linetra was very happy about this, "Thank you both, we can have revenge on Jack together" Erik and Raoul smiled "Anything to destroy a murderer like him."

Linetra gave them a smile and started to walk away "What are you guys waiting for? Let's go!" Erik and Raoul followed her to the train station of Twilight Town and got to the first ride to Ancient China, they had to travel to other worlds to have more followers. Linetra was really quiet on the train, she was thin king on a strategy to kill Jack, there were so many choices but, she needed more followers to accomplish her goal.

James Skellington walked in the cold hard paths of the graveyard, he was really sad of what happened 5 months ago. "Tifa…" he said to himself, hopping that she would return. "Why did I believe in your father? Why haven't I saved you from your darker side in your heart? Why..."

James kept walking thru the graveyard and into the forest; he came across the corpse bride's grave. "Emily… why haven't you told my father were Tifa was so he could save her sooner so I could be with her?" James walked back to town; he didn't know what to do without the one he loved. "Tifa…"

James had his mind in the clouds until he hit someone by accident "Hey, watch were you're…" he gasped as he saw the person he had hit, he had black hair, pale skin and he looked like a rock star of some kind. "Sparda?" The teenage devil boy raised his head to see the pumpkin prince "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, you asshole"

James was very angry by Sparda's comment until he chuckled "Heh, I knew you would say that after what happened 5 months ago" Sparda was very calm and lowered his head and continued on his way. "Loser…" he whispered.

"Jerk…" James said to himself and went to his home. He didn't know what was at hand over at Twilight Town, but James was still pretty sad. The pumpkin prince doesn't know that soon, someone will fall for him, a new enemy of his father's will fall in love with him, but know he went upstairs to his room and rested his head on his black pillow until he was in a deep sleep…
Jeje… sorry if this took so long, blame skewl…
