Alone

Hey guys, this is just a little story written about Vanitas. I don't know why, but I just did. In some ways, I feel bad for him. I was listening to "Puppet" and other various songs from the game "Ib" while writing this. That includes other things like "Memory", the title theme of the game, and the dungeon music.

This is kind of my way of giving him a little attention (other than in Time Management).

(Vanitas's POV)

Alone. It's quiet. There were aches coming from somewhere. I couldn't name where they were coming from. They were somewhere in my chest.

I leaned up against one of the rocky formations, sliding to the dusty ground and feeling the wind rattle through my bones. The pain came again, more acutely this time. I held the left side of my chest, there it is again…

I leaned my head back, and when I opened my eyes, I was seeing out of someone else's.

There was warmth everywhere. Not the cold breeze I had grown so accustomed to blowing around me. There was a bright yellow blinding light orb in the sky above me, and I had to cover my eyes to block it. One who lives in utter darkness does not last well in the sunlight.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. People I didn't recognize were smiling at me, talking to me, and using words I didn't recognize. Words like "love", and "family". I didn't understand, though the more they smiled and spoke to me, the more I felt the pain in my chest alleviating.

They took me around and taught me things, smiling and messing up my hair. It must have felt like this to have a mom and a dad.

I wish I had a mom and a dad…

I shook my head and continued to follow them. There were so many amazing things, so much color. Greens, reds, blues, yellows, pinks, and other ones that I didn't have names for everywhere; not just a brown and black landscape, and I had never seen anything like it. There were flowers sprouting around in the fields of green, and I couldn't help but run around through them, staring at them falling around me like a rainbow veil. I was happy there…

Until the girl opened her mouth and said HIS name, "Ven."

I was snapped out of the trance by an abrupt blast of cold air. The warmth and happiness were gone and here I was, right back where I had started.

I pulled my knees to my chest and cried.

They love him… No one loves me…

I'm all alone.

The End

Wow, that was kind of depressing, sorry. No, I don't hate Vanitas, this was just based off of his backstory which I found somewhere on Deviantart.

I guess the "no one loves me" has a double meaning because other than Vanitas x Xion (sometimes…) I don't actually pair him with anyone. XD Sorry, I think he's an epic enough character to be on his own.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave a review.
