I'm back people! And with the second chapter to Black Heart. Also, I sorta forgot to mention in the summary, it was actually a Will-Nightmare-Hay Lin romance, along with the other couple. Enjoy now.

Previously:

"You can see, can't you? Of course I'm not human; barely anyone who serves Phobos is human." Nightmare spoke. Will looked at him. His hood was shadowing his face again. "Well, why are you serving him?" She asked him again. She expected no answer, but she got one…

Chapter 2: Dark Histories

"The reason why I serve him… is… is…" Nightmare started but was interrupted when a certain group of people came in from the bedroom door.

"Will! I know where the book is!" Cornelia shouted coming in first. Once everyone was in the room, they all stared at Nightmare until Caleb spoke.

"Nightmare, what are you doing here!" He yelled and jumped at him. Nightmare raised his hand and caught Caleb by the neck and squeezed tightly.

"Boy, you never get tired of trying to beat me do you? I grow tired, don't bother following me, you will only get killed." Nightmare spoke, his demonic voice worse than ever. He threw Caleb to a wall and walked through the portal. Cornelia rushed over to Caleb to make sure he was okay.

"Okay, who was that?" Taranee asked. "That was… erm…" Will couldn't get the words out.

"That was Nightmare, Phobos' most trusted general. He's ruthless in what he does. But, why was he here? And talking to Will for that matter?" Caleb spoke. The girls (except Will) looked at Will. "What? We were just talking… uh… anyways, Phobos has the book, and we need to get it back." Will stammered.

"You know, I heard that Phobos had a secret base hidden underground. We should try to find it." Caleb spoke.

"Hmmm. Blunk, can you get a hold of Elyon's smell?" Irma asked looking at him. "Blunk can do!" The creature announced. He sniffed crazily and finally found it. "Blunk has it!" He said and jumped through the portal. The others soon followed.

-Meridian-

They landed in a snowy region when Blunk took off sniffing at Elyon's scent. He ended up to a boulder. "Here here!" Blunk yelled jumping up and down. Caleb and the girls ran up to him. "Okay…Guardians unite!" Will yelled as the girls transformed into their guardian forms. Caleb was trying to move the boulder failing at it miserably. Cornelia walked up to him and pushed him aside briefly. "Watch and learn… Earth." She chanted and moved her finger down the boulder splitting it in two. "There…" She smiled at him. "Okay, everyone split up. We'll cover more ground." Will ordered and flew off looking for Nightmare more than anyone. Hay Lin and Irma went one way, while Taranee, Cornelia and Caleb went another.

-Nightmare's position-

"Foolish girls, I told them not to follow. Guards, alert Phobos." He ordered and walked off to get Will. Surprisingly she flew right into him. "Watch where you fly girl." He spoke in his demonic voice. "Sorry Nightmare." Will spoke looking up at him. He growled. "Come on, Elyon isn't here, it was a trap, and you all fell for it." He spoke helping Will up. "I'm leaving Phobo's army. I need to see Yan Lin." He said looking toward the exit. "Yan Lin, how do you know her?" Will asked flying towards the exit. As they reached it, they saw the others running for the exit as well. "It's a trap!" Caleb yelled throwing a rock he found at one of the guards hitting him in the head. "I know, he told me." Will said pointing to Nightmare.

"No time." Nightmare said walking out into the snowy area. He saw that Cedric and his mass of guards were in front of the portal. "Will, you and the others go for the portal, I'll handle Snakehead." Nightmare ordered and drew his big sword from its sheath on his back. "CEDRIC!" Nightmare yelled and ran for him. He had his sword ready as he started to distract the guards. The girls flew for the portal, Cornelia holding Caleb. After they got through, Will started to close the portal. It closed just as Nightmare jumped through, he landing atop of Will. "Can you ever stand away from the entrance spot?" He said shaking his head. The girls sighed, but Hay Lin was staring at Nightmare. 'He is cute, good thing Will has Matt, he's all mine.' She thought smiling…

-The Next day at the Silver Dragon-

"Grandma, we have a visitor!" Hay Lin smiled as the girls walked in, Nightmare followed in a cloak, hood covering his head again. "Wow, who is this?" Yan Lin asked looking up at the giant. "Don't even remember me anymore Yan Lin?" Nightmare spoke drawing his hood down. Yan Lin's eyes widen. "Cole! What are you doing here? You said you left the guardians after you protected the veil years ago!" She yelled. The girl's eyes widen. "Cole!" They all said in unison. "It's Nightmare now Yan Lin, and I did quit the guardians, but now that Phobos has Elyon, it's time I came back to stop him." He spoke.

Well, that's all for now. Hope you like, next chapter, a look into Nightmare/Cole's past.
