Brittany's Point of View
Xigbar took me to the Grey Area in The Castle That Never Was. Alison was there and she was... HOLDING VANITAS' HAND!? First off, ewww gross. Secondly, HE'S THE FREAKING ENEMY! And third, I won't allow this. She must have really lost it. She's holding hands with a guy who has YELLOW EYES! "Well, here we are. I've got stuff to do. Vanitas, her room is going to be across from Al's. Ciao." Xigbar said, before leaving in a dark corridor.
"Vanitas, get your filthy hand off my sister!" I shouted at him. Surprised at my sudden outburst, Vanitas let go of Alison's hand. "Brittany! I'm not a little girl anymore! I can hold the hand of anyone I want to and- wait, Brittany? What are you doing here?" Alison asked. "I'm... a prisoner here. They gave me a choice. Be prisoner here and see you, or never be on good terms with you again." I explained. "Oh Brittany... I'm so sorry. You did that just to see me?" Alison asked me. "Yeah. I really need you and-" But I was interrupted by Aly pulling me into a tight hug. "There's so much we need to talk about." Alison said. "I agree but first, is it true that you're here because you want to be?" I asked. "That's... complicated." She sighed. "Um... I don't believe we officially met. I know who you are and you know who I am, but this is the first time we interacted with each other, although I think we got off to a bad start. How about we start over. My names Vanitas." Vanitas said. I let go of Alison. "I'm Brittany. You were a terrible headache in the game, not to mention, downright evil. I don't trust you. It's not nice to meet you." I stated.
Alison sighed. "Vanitas, can I tell her?" She asked. "Tell me what?" I wondered. Vanitas nodded. "Yeah, I'll go get Isa." He offered before leaving the room. "Well, Xehanort's my father as you probably know, but Vanitas, Saix, and I are spies for the light. I know that Ienzo is receiving information sometimes from us. Also, Vanitas was just comforting me because I was upset that you weren't here. Molly ran away. Oh, and Sora's trying to erase my memory again." Alison explained. "Molly ran away!? Sora's trying to erase your memory!? Again!?" I shrieked. This was happening so fast. "Correct." A voice from behind me said. I turned around to see that Vanitas had returned with Saix. Saix continued. "When you were young, Sora had erased the memories of you and Alison. He's afraid that even if Alison were to switch sides, that she can't be trusted." I glared at him.
"How can I trust you? You're a bad guy! Bad guys can't be trusted! You're probably just putting that stuff in my poor innocent little sister's head. My poor, poor sister who is so naive that she can't possibly know who to trust. My sister of such innocence that she can't possibly tell truth from lies. My-" I was interrupted by Alison punching me in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?!" I shouted at my "poor, innocent" sister.
"What, you think I'm stupid? Helpless? You're the one who's stupid! You only decided who to trust based on the game! Well guess what Brittany, things have changed since then! Dad actually attacked me! Not my dad, our dad! He attacked me! You're the one who's stupid! You talk like that about me and... and I'll never forgive you!" Alison yelled. I could see tears brimming in the corners of her eyes. "Aly, I-I didn't mean it like that. I-I'm sorry. You know that it's not like that. I just, I had a rough time and I'm not sure who to trust anymore. You're the only person who matters anymore." I said. "You said you're not sure who to trust anymore. You can trust us. The three of us are infiltrating the organization. We've been giving the light information without certain people knowing. Please, trust us Brittany. If you can't trust them, then trust me. I want the three of us to be sisters again. You, me, and Molly. But in order for us to be together, there needs to be trust. Please." Alison pleaded.
"Alright." I said. Alison embraced me into a tight embrace. We both shed the tears that we kept hidden from the rest of the world. Tears that we saved for this day. Alison recited a letter that we both have had memorized for a long time.
"Thinking of you, wherever you are
We pray for our sorrows to end
And hope that our hearts will blend
And who knows
Starting a journey may not be so hard
Or maybe it has already begun"
I put a finger on Alison's mouth. "The rest is not what it should be. Not for us. Our destiny isn't the sky. Our father... Is not our destiny." I finished the letter, but in my own words.
"There are many worlds
But they share the same light
One light, one destiny." I finished.
"I like that better. Even though I am of darkness, I fight for the light. To think that the worlds are connected through something other than the name of our father... It comforts me." Alison said.
Really emotional. I was ready to burst into tears while writing this. I hope you liked it. I'm sorry that there's not an epic battle between Alison and Brittany. I think I said I would do that somewhere in the story, but I changed my mind as I developed the characters more. I'm glad that they're finally together. Thank you v.t.7 for your review.
