Hi, we've got over two thousand hits, and I'm so happy about that! Sorry I've uploaded so late. I've got a list I work through now, and I had a dark bit when I had to stop writing fanfiction for a while because of a bad comment. It's alright now, and I've sort of calmed down. Thank you for waiting patiently, and if you ever run out o patience, PM me if you can! Or write another review with

Please hurry up. Thank you!

Love & Hate

Utter silence cloaks the night air. Understandably, Carly rushes out from the ramshackle building. She hurries along the dark, dirt road. The oozing swamps around her give off a nightmarish aura of death an decay. Not even the pure light from the moon above can penetrate the darkness where she currently is. Small, low unknown sounds cause her to jump in fright. Slowly, but surely, the end of the swamp lands comes into sight.

"Maybe I should have asked someone else," Carly murmurs, then shakes her head. "No. That was a good source. He knows a lot."

A loud beeping wakes Jack from a calm slumber. Warily, he looks around his bedroom. There's no light coming from anywhere. Even his bedside clock has stopped. Then, a big screen bursts into life before his eyes. A shadowed figure sniggers tauntingly.

"You sure have a lot of work to do now," the voice growls, darkly.

"What are you talking about?" Jack frowns. "Who are you?"

"Hehehe," the screen flickers. "A, but we wouldn't want to fail Carly, now would we?"

"Carly? What about her? Where is she?" Jack snaps.

"Don't worry Mr Atlas. She's safe… enough…"

Then the screen cuts out. The room turns silent as the information starts to sink in. After which, the clock starts working again, and the lights go on. Hurriedly, he scrambles out of bed and out. Reaching his duel runner, he goes straight to full speed. Not knowing where he's going, or what he'll do when he gets there. Upon realising how stupid just driving around would be, he heads over to Martha's.

"Hehehe," a person on a balcony overlooking the road laughs.

"So he's fallen for the bait then," a voice enquires.

"Hook line and sinker," the voice from the screen chortles.

"Ah, good," the second voice replies. "However, the bait is used and over… I have no use for the likes of you any longer."

The person wanders back into the apartment room. The door sliding closed behind him, and the curtains fully closed. With a low chuckle, he switches on the television. On the screen, Sayer is closely watching Selene inside her panic room. A room he had specially designed to combat her abilities. As she can't use her potent powers to break out, or contact the outside world, he finds her defenceless. The television then turns off. The shadowed figure in the room is now nowhere to be found. However, a phone lies dangling. A number has been dialled, and a tape recorder is connected to the phone.

With the sun high in the early morning sky, team 5ds are out on their duel runners. With the exception of the twins. The disappearance of Carly had them all on edge. Something about that just wasn't right. After all, Carly wasn't their enemy, and she couldn't be… For what other reason would she disappear though? Akiza, on the other hand, with Yusei, are more worried about Selene. The haunted sounds from the tape recorder aren't things you can just bring on at will. Like the screams. The horrified, wailing screams of pain and terror.

Suddenly, a box is thrown onto the road. They come to a screeching halt. The constant whirring of a circling helicopter captures their attention. The person disappears from view who threw the box, and the helicopter moves away. The box though, starts bleeping with a red flashing light. Then, it bursts open into another big holographic screen. The screen is split in two. With one half showing Selene trapped in the panic room; and the other showing Carly trapped in an empty, dusty room.

Then, text comes up onto the screen between them both.

What does a broken heart desire?

Author's Note: Okay, writing in advance isn't the most fun thing to do. You realise something right before you put it up, and you know you just have to put it up…

If there's an A/U at the top of the chapter, it's the newest one.

I'M SORRY! I was listening to Solemn Hour, Lies, Angels and Exodus! Two by Within Temptation and two by Evanescence! They're dark songs, and it made my writing dark!

I'M SO SORRY!

I do so hope you enjoy.
