I DO NOT OWN THE MUSIC OF EVANESCENCE. THE LINK TO THE SONG IS IN THE CHAPTER AND ON MY PROFILE.

(Natalee's POV)

I laid there in the darkness with my back against the stone cold floor. My body withered. My hair darkened. My eyes changed from purple to blood red. I got paler. I was dying ( watch?v=UAeY62gywso&feature=watch_response). "I can't see your star," I sang as I turned my head to the right.

"I can't see your star," I sang as I turned my head to the left.

"Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today," I sang as I looked up into the darkness.

"I can't see your star. The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away," I sang.

I heard footsteps behind me and by the smell of the reeking darkness, it was Xigbar. I lifted my hands up ever so slightly. I sang as I was being slowly pulled up, "And I'm alone now, me and all I stood for."

He turned me around sharply and we were face to face. Our foreheads touched and I sang to him, "We're wandering now. All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out."

I started to tantalize him as we sort of waltzed around the darkness as I sang, "I can't see your star. I can't see your star."

I saw Luxord appear behind me out of the corner of my eye. I outstretched my right leg gracefully to have the back of my ankle on his shoulder and my left foot flat on the ground. I swung my left leg at him and he caught my left leg to have my head and hands balancing my body's weight. He pushed my body to make it vertical and I do a back bend to become upright again. As I came up from the backbend, Luxord pulled both of my arms from behind me and I end up with my back up close to his body. I turned my head slightly to the right. He smirked at me as I sang, "How can the darkness feel so wrong? And I'm alone now."

Luxord spun me out towards Demyx who had just appeared and I did Chaînés turns around him until I ended up back to back with him with my head on his shoulder. I sang, "Me and all I stood for."

I did more Chaînés turns around him until I was face to face with him. I sang as I watched him tremble, "We're wandering now."

Saix appeared behind me and I swung my left leg right above his head. He grabbed my right hand and walked backwards slowly as I gracefully and slowly dragged my feet across the floor to the rhythm of the notes. I sang, "All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out."

We stopped and he grabbed my waist from behind and started to spin me around as I sang, "So far away."

He put me down facing him and he held my hands. He outstretched them to my sides and started to make me walk backwards. I heard a portal open and close. It was Xemnas. His darkness was extremely potent. As Saix made me walk backwards to the beat of the song, until I felt Xemnas's hands at my waist, I sang, "It's growing colder without your love."

Xemnas and I sort of waltzed around the darkness as I sang, "Why can't you feel me calling your name? Can't break the silence."

We stopped was I was leaning back and he had his hand holding my heart. My eyes widened as I sang, "It's breaking me."

He tugged at my heart to launch me forward as I sang, "All my fears turn to rage."

We continued to dance around the darkness until I stopped and sang, "And I'm alone now, me and all I stood for. We're wandering now. All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out."

Neo-Marksmen and Dancer Nobodies appeared next to me and started to dance along with me in unison as I sang, "Now, I have nothing worth fighting for. We're wandering now. All in parts and pieces, swim lonely."

I run up to Xemnas like a ballerina and sang, "Find your own way out."

I ran back to my Neo-Marksmen and Dancer Nobodies and continued to dance with them until the music ended. The remaining Organization members formed a circle around me. I looked at the ground until Xemnas lifted my chin to be face to face with him. I greeted him, "Well, well. What brings you guys to the dark realm today?"

Xemnas let go of my chin and started to circle me. He replied, "I've come to make a proposition to you."

"Proposition?" I asked confusedly.

"I hate to still keep you as an emotionless puppet, particularly with Anthony heading towards the castle," he said with a smirk on his face.

"We wanted to make you a more believable character," Saix added as he started to circle me in the opposite direction of Xemnas.

I asked, "Character?"

"Yes, it will make him more likely to believe that you don't love him anymore if it's coming from someone who has a heart. And, you're the only one here with a heart," Luxord said as he started to circle me in the same direction that Xemnas was.

"Also, the last time I checked, you have pretty good acting skills. And you also have a voice. You can just sing him away with your false feelings," Xigbar said as he started to circle me in the same direction that Saix was.

"What are guys asking me to do?" I asked confusedly.

The circling stopped and Xemnas walked up to me. He said, "I'll give you two choices. Choice A: I'll send you back to your dimension but you leave your friends to die from Nobodies that are appearing now in the dark realm, which is where they are, that will appear until they are dead. Or Choice B: Save your friends from nobodies and obey my every command without question from this day forward knowing that you may not be able to save all of your friends. The choice is yours alone."

My body shook with anger. I yelled, "That deal is paradoxical! You win either way and I may lose either way!"

Xemnas replied calmly, "At least I'm giving you a choice. So what's it going to be?"

I weighed my choices for minute, I then replied, "I'll choose Choice B."

Everyone laughed but Demyx. Xemnas grabbed me by my cloak and threw me into a portal. I stumbled into a battle scene with Anthony, Sora, and Axel. They were all back to back fighting off Dusks and Neo-Marksmen. Axel said something to Sora and Anthony. Then Axel ran a couple yards away from them and started to levitate. He was doing his suicide attack. I couldn't let that happen on my watch. I pulled two fire arrows out. His chakrams spun around him going faster and faster until I shot my two arrows at his chakrams. His chakrams hit the floor. Axel came back down to the ground and started to look around confused. At the snap of my fingers the Nobodies vanished, I then opened a portal and started to shoot fire bomb arrows to herd everybody into it. Just when I thought everyone walked in the portal, Anthony stopped walking into it and saw me. I didn't have my hood up and saw me for the mess I have become. I aimed another fire bomb arrow at him and he ran into the portal scared. I closed the portal and Xemnas appeared right next to me. He said, "Ah, so you managed to save them all. I'm surprised. How did you do it?"

I replied austerely, "I have the power to control Nobodies and Heartless at my own will. Remember you gave that power to me? Also, I have my own type of Nobodies too and they are extremely willing to listen to me more than to you."

"Ah, I did give you those powers and for those Nobodies of yours, I wonder how those came into being," Xemnas replied.

Xemnas pulled Demyx out of a portal and said, "Now Demyx, you'll be in charge of playing the music that Natalee sings to ward off the Keyblade bearer and his friends. You're also to make sure she carries out the orders I give her."

Demyx squeaked, "Okay…"

Xemnas then turned to me again and continued, "Now your job is to destroy or ward off the Keyblade bearer and friends. You also have to help guard Kingdom Hearts. So you know your orders, so I'll be off to see the finishing touches on my Kingdom Hearts."

Xemnas disappeared into a portal and left Demyx and I alone. Demyx was quivering in fear. I raised my eyebrow and asked, "Demyx, are you okay?"

Demyx started to stutter an inaudible reply until I cut him off, "You don't have to be scared of me, I won't hurt you. I would never do that."

"Whew! You started to worry me there. You've become very serious ever since that night at the ball and you started to scare me a little," Demyx sighed in relief.

I chuckled, "Demyx, Xemnas was controlling me all that time. Whenever he wasn't, he threw me into the dark realm since I can't escape it."

Demyx stared at me in awe and then hugged me. He said, "Oh, so that's why you had red eyes. I'm glad to have you back!"

"Now, can you get us out of here? I guess I can't open portals here very well from this location," I said while trying to open a portal.

Demyx laughed and opened a portal for us. We walked into the Hall of Empty Melodies One where Xigbar was waiting for Sora and the gang to show up.
