remember, you are now, lina.

You turn to look at who had spoken. a boy with green hair was standing in front of you. "who are you" you ask watching the boy walk closer to you. "I'm yur-, derrick" he's says. "yurderick?" you ask "no, just derick" he says walking up with a goofy smile on his face. "oh, well I'm" you say not knowing your name "L" you say sounding out an L. "L- what?" derick asks. "Lina" you say thinking something up. "oh" derick says. after a moment of silence you think of something. "well, where did you say we were again?" you ask "hollow bastion" he says walking around you in a circle. "why, are you lost?" he asks. "well, yeah" you say, while putting your arms up in a shrug. "oh, that's to bad, but" he says as if thinking. "but what?" you ask wondering what he was trying to get at. "well, i know this place like the back of my hand, and until your ready, you could, come stay with me" he says sincerely. "oh" you say looking him over. he doesn't seem to be bad you think knowing you really didn't have anywhere to go. "ok, i guess it couldn't hurt" you say. "great, well, let me start with a tour of the town" he says escorting you down a path.

(meanwhile in twilight town) (Lillux's point of view)

the whole group Roxas, Riku, Sora, everyone, was walking to the computer room. Namine had made a portal and Riku was leading them. once inside Riku sits down and looks at the computer screen. "I know how to work it mostly from watching Diz" he says pressing some buttons. Roxas was holding your body while Riku operated one of the pods. "it should work" Riku says. everyone walks to the main pod room where Sora came from. everyone walks towards it. it slowly opens in its flower like motion and shows its empty inside. Roxas steps up and gets ready to place you inside, he looks down at your closed eyes and feels your body move as you breathe. a drop of salty water hits your cheek and rolls down the side of your face. he lifts you up and as he lets go your body, it begins to float gracefully. Roxas watches as the petals to the pod begin to close slowly obscuring his view to you. he rubs his eyes before turning to face everyone.

(back in hollow bastion) (lina's point of view)

you had been escorted by derick to the hollow bastion town square. "want some ice cream?" Derick asks. "oh, uh, sure" you say taking in your surroundings. after a moment or two he comes back with some blue ice cream. "thanks" you say accepting some from him. "oh, it's good" you say surprised. "i know" he says. you both begin to walk around some of the shops. you look and see someone leaning up against a wall ahead. as you walk by you and the tall blonde person lock eyes."cloud" you whisper not paying attention. "huh?" Derick asks looking at you. "what?" you say "what did you say" he asks. "i, don't, think i said anything" you say thinking. "ok" he says giving you a smile. "here" Derick says taking your ice cream stick, "I'll go throw these away" he says walking away. "I'll be right back" he says turning a corner.

you turn and look behind you at the blonde, you didn't notice but he was watching you out of the corner of his eyes. derick was in an alley, he threw the sticks on the ground and summoned some nobodies. "you know what to do" he said. they bowed and disspeared. you stand waiting on the concrete as Derick comes back. "ok lets go" he says. you nod as you both go down some stairs to cross straight through the square. as you do a group of silver monster things appear all around you. "what, are these" you ask knowing that the way they were surrounding you wasn't normal. "nobodies, they're dangerous so stay back, I'll protect you" Derick says running forward and attacking some nobodies.

"wait" you say stepping forward in his direction. as you step forward, from the upper part of the town square cloud was watching to whole thing. "Derick" you say worrying for him. you reach out but a nobody jumps at you, out of instinct you block and jump back. your eyes flash yellow for a moment as you feel something appear in your hands. you look down and see some fan blades. more nobodies attack. 'Derick' watches you from the corner of his eyes. "damn" he curses under his breath. you back away from some nobodies but as you do more nobodies jump at you. you block and slice some of them with your fans. "what are these" you ask out loud about the fans wondering if Derick would know.

Derick quickly rushes over and hits all of the remaining nobodies making them dissapear. "thanks" you say feeling safer. "no prob, but are you hurt?" he says looking you over in concern. "luckily no, but what are these?" you say raising your hands to show the fans. "what?" Derick asks. "well, they were here a minute ago, some bladed fans" you say looking around. you look up and see the blonde guy from before looking at you, but he quickly brakes the glance and walks away. weird you think as you look back to Derick. "anyway, let's get going before anymore of those things show up" Derick says pulling your arm. "yeah" you say following while glancing behind you to see if any others had been missed.

Derick leads you back to his house, which was a secluded little cottage, that if you weren't looking for it it would be hard to find, because it's front door is on the back side of it, and it's front looks like it's a part of another huge building. the only thing that would give any hint of it being a house would be a large window on the front. you walk into the house, it was slightly cluttered, but other wise a comfy looking place. you sit on a couch while Derick walks in and locks the door. "ah, home sweet home" he says hiding a slick smile while putting some things away. "yeah, it's pretty nice" you say looking at some of his things. "want something to eat?" he asks looking over at you. "sure" you say while focusing in on your gurgling stomach, the only thing you had had to eat was ice cream and that was an hour ago.

after sitting on the couch for a bit, and examining all the pictures on the wall, Derick comes back in and he sets huge sandwich in front of you. "wow" you say looking at it. "thought you might be extra hungry" he says with a warm smile while he sits next to you and eats some chips he had in his hand. "oh, who's that, i notice you have a lot of pictures of her" you say pointing to a girl with brown hair, she was holding onto the arm of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy.

"oh, that was my, sister, Lillux, and that boy was her boyfriend Roxas" he says sadly. "was? what happened?" you ask. "well, Roxas, was very controlling, and whenever she would come to visit me, he would get mad, and jealous, but you see, me and my sister were very close, so I told her to come over one day, and that she could stay with me, because Roxas was becoming abusive" Derick said "oh, that's terrible" you say looking at the boy who's name was Roxas. "yes, well, Roxas called her, threatening that if she didn't come back, he would kill everyone she loved, she was so scared that she did go back, but when she did, Roxas beat her so much,that she died the next day from internal bleeding" Derick said showing signs of distress. "oh, I'm so sorry" you say scooching closer to him and putting a hand on his shoulder. "thanks" he says putting one of his hands on yours.

"yeah, now I'm trying to forgive him, but I had to move because he's still on the loose" he said looking up at the picture. "oh my gosh, he is, that's scary" you say "yeah, but this place is pretty safe, but now you know the story so if you do see him, which is unlikely, be careful" Derick says eating his last chip. you nod thoughtfully. "and just so you know, he hangs out in a gang, uh, let's see, who was there, it was in the news awhile ago" Derick says thinking. "uh, there was Axel, Riku, Sora, and, Demyx, and they have some girls, uh, Kairi, and Namine,but they aren't really a big part of the gang, they're more like lookouts, and when they're around they look for people that they are after. when I'm out I'm careful to keep away from seeing them and them seeing me. "what do they look like?" you ask. "here Derick says looking through a stack of papers and showing each person to you, here they, are, like I said you probably won't see them, but i doesn't hurt to be careful. he said putting the pictures away.

"well, go ahead and eat, I'll be right back" he says getting up and walking into the kitchen. you pick u the sandwich. "do you want anything to drink?" you hear is voice call. "uh sure, waters fine" you say still looking at how you would eat the sandwich. he walks back in with two waters. "thanks" you say taking the water.

"wow" you've been so nice to take me in like this" you say realizing that by now you would probably have been on the street. "oh, it's no problem really" he says. you give him a happy look and lean forward to take a bite out of the sandwich. as you do mustard gets all over your mouth. "er" you say pulling away. Derick chuckles and pulls the napkin out from under his water. "here" he says wiping the mess off your mouth. you blush. "thanks" you mumble embarrass. he chuckles and sits back in his seat. "oh, yeah, I have to get the bedsheets, for the spare rooms bed out" he says standing up and walking into another room. you take the chance to eat the sandwich quickly so you wouldn't look like a slob with everything spilling out. you finish and wipe your face. then put your dish and empty water cup in the sink. "hey Lina?" you hear Derick's voice call out to you.

"yeah?" you say, "your rooms ready" he says. you walk to where his voice came from and look in to see a pretty plain room, with big window that showed what was in front of the house, and a big bed with fresh clean sheets. "try it" Derick says pointing to the bed. "k" you say walking over and letting yourself fall into the fluff and stuff. "it's so comfy" you say rolling around. "glad you like it". he says. "well, i'm gonna go get some sleep myself so, night" he says walking out of the room. "night" you say. you look above your head and see something outside the window. you get up and see an old tree blowing in the wind. you open the window and sit on the sill, you close your eyes and listen to the wind, it was now night and the moon cast shadows on your face.

you hear a cracking sound and open your eyes. across the way was a person in black, he was looking your way, he had fiery red spiky hair, and green eyes with diamonds underneath. you gasp and fall backwards onto your bed. you slam the window shut and pull the curtains, after a moment you look through a small open bit and see no one was outside, you lay in bed wondering if the person was even there in the first place...
