Jessica's Point of View
About a week passed. I was still in Atlantica. I'm starting to worry about whether or not I'll ever go home. I've been helping the girls get through grieving. They opened up to me since I told them that my mom passed recently. I think this is good for me. I can talk to people who understand. We swim to breakfast. I was shocked to find Xemnas with a black tail sitting with King Triton. Xemnas smiled when he saw me.
"My dear little niece. How good it is to see you." Xemnas smiled. I caught on to the hint right away. "Uncle! I'm so glad you found me!" I exclaimed, swimming over to Xemnas and giving him a hug. "I've missed you so much." He said. "I have too." I agreed. "I'm sure you want to go as soon as you can. I've heard you live very far from here." King Triton remarked. "Yes, we should be going. Thank you so much for keeping her when she was lost. I am forever in your debt." Xemnas thanked. "No, thank you. You're niece has been a big help to my daughters in their time of need. She has helped them very much emotionally. Feel free to have her visit with us any time. However, before you leave, I would like a word with Jessica alone." King Triton stated. "Of course." Xemnas said. King Triton swam away and I followed. We stopped in a hall where there was no one around.
"I need to know... do you know if Sailor Mercury was reborn as well?" King Triton asked. I winced.
"She was, but I don't know if she's alive. The last I saw of her was when she dived into darkness to save a friend." I explained. "Did she succeed?" King Triton pressed. "In a way. If you don't mind, please tell me... Why are you so interested in Mercury?" I asked. "She was... no. Perhaps I shall save it for another time." Triton decided. I probably shouldn't try to find out. He just lost his wife after all. Queen Athena was a wonderful woman. I will always remember her as such.
"Very well. I look forward to it." I smiled. "Now run along. You have been away from your family all this time. You must miss them very much right now." King Triton said. I swam back to Xemnas. The girls were waiting for me. I said goodbye to all the girls and left the palace with Xemnas. Demyx was waiting for us outside. We swam to Demyx and he opened a a dark corridor. When we went in, we turned back into humans. Well, a human and two Nobodys. I was unsteady on my legs after having a tail for so long. Xemnas saw this and carried me. We were silent for the entire time we were inside the dark corridor. However, when we left the dark corridor, I let all of the emotions that I had been hiding out. Tears flooded my face.
"Dear child, it's alright. You're home now." He said soothingly. "I was so scared! I couldn't make a dark corridor! I didn't know what to do!" I sobbed. "I know Jessica. I am so glad you're safe." Xemnas smiled. Xemnas took me to the lab. He continued to carry me. Daddy saw me in Xemnas' arms and took me from him.
"Daddy!" I cried. "My little Jessica! They finally found you!" He exclaimed. I saw dark circles around his eyes. He must not have gotten much sleep.
"Never do that again!" He said. "I couldn't get home." I mentioned. "Because you were underwater. Only Demyx can open dark corridors underwater. His element is water, so he can manipulate the darkness to match the form of the liquid substance that he is attempting to create a dark corridor under." Daddy explained. "I don't understand a word of what you just said, but I love you anyway!" I laughed. "I love you too Jessica." Daddy smiled. "Jessica, I know we had originally agreed on your time off ending after your day with Demyx, but I'd rather you don't go on any missions a little while longer." Xemnas said. "I agree. I don't want you leaving the castle for now." Daddy added. "Okay. You don't have to tell me twice." I said. Daddy set me down. My legs wobbled and I fell to the floor. Daddy started fretting over me.
"What are you so upset for? Now you know I won't leave the castle." I joked. "Jessica, that's not funny. You've had a tail for so long that you're having trouble standing." Daddy huffed. "Not my fault." I remarked. "I'll take you to your room Jessica." Xemnas offered. Daddy smiled.
"Why doesn't she stay somewhere else for now. We're still..." Daddy trailed off. "Of course. I'll take you to my room Jess. We can play a board game together." Xemnas suggested. "Um... okay." I agreed. He took me to his room. I love how big it is. It's actually more like an apartment than a room. He set me down on his couch. He set up Monopoly on the coffee table right by the couch. I spent the rest of the night oh my night winning. If we had been playing with real Munny, I would have been rich.
Hey guys, can you believe that it's been four years since I started the first in this series? It's anniversary was on the 9th of this month. This is also the 50th chapter. I know that there's not a lot of you who read this, but this is how I started and I love this fanfiction to this day. To whoever is reading this, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
Thank you Samantha for your review.
