Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: You know… I love you guys. We all have our struggles. Maybe it's being alone, maybe it's losing something… but we always have this fic to bring joy to each other. My writing brightens your day and your reviews brighten mine. I don't ever want this to stop, even after this fic is done, ok? I'd miss all you guest reviewers too much.

KCL: Danggit… how come you always know how to make me smile? Sorry about your insomnia. My best friend has to deal with it too, so I kind of know how bad it can be. It's kind of funny, in a sense. She desperately wants sleep and I hate sleeping. Ah well. I'm sorry about your friends and I'm not sure how I can help. Just… know that, even when times look rough and you feel alone… you aren't alone. You have at least one friend, always. It may not be who you think, but they're always there for you. Maybe not physically… but in your heart. That's what I remember when I'm alone. Hang in there, alright? I'd miss your squees of joy when I post if you abandoned me. :)

Prompt 83: Destructive Personality

(Kitty)

Alistair…

HA! He wants me to kill him? See Kitty? I told you that he hated you! He wants me to control you! HAHAHAHA!

…No…

Pfft, don't grasp for a hope that isn't there. I'm shooting.

…No… he…hehehe…

Are you… giggling?

..I guess… hehehe… I am… hehehe…

What is so #$% funny? I DEMAND AN ANSWER!

You don't know? Because I do.

WHAT IS SO FUNNY!?

You always think that everything in this world is against me. Alistair coming and claiming to get shot proves that he wants me destroyed, right? You ever think that, maybe… that's what he expected you to think?

Why would I say anything different? I WANT TO KILL YOU!

Yeah, I know. Think is Dark Kitty… Alistair would do anything to protect me. And you want to know a secret?

Pfft, you don't have secrets.

I'd do anything to protect him.

… No… NO! NO NO NO NO NO!

Alistair wants you to kill him because he knows that if he's in danger, I will always be there to get him out of it! I'm not letting him die, and I'm not letting you control me anymore! EVER!

NO! I HAD YOU! THIS BODY IS MINE!

NO! Because guess what Dark Kitty? I'm home. And I'm staying. PERMANTYLY!

NO!

(Alistair)

"NO! MAKE HER STOP! MAKE HER STOP!" Dark Kitty screamed, grabbing her own head. Alistair made no move to help her as Dark Kitty continued to scream in pain. Dark Kitty glared her hatred upon Alistair. " #$% you… Wonderland…" Dark Kitty said weakly and, with no more energy, collapsed.

Alistair then rushed to Kitty's side, pulling her close to him. "Kitty? Kitty? You in there?" Alistair asked desperately.

Kitty opened her eyes slowly, smiling a small smile. "I… am…" she said. "Alistair… she's gone. I… killed her… just like Neb said I would."

Alistair smiled and kissed Kitty on the lips, which she sunk into. No more darkness. No more evil. Just one happily ever after.

(Maddie)

"So… what happened?" Maddie asked, watching the romantic moment off to the side. "You know, in Kitty's head?"

Simple. Alistair forced Kitty to choose: let Dark Kitty win and take control over her body… or face the darkness in her the whole time and embrace the fact she had to deny Dark Kitty what she wanted. When Kitty refused Dark Kitty, Dark Kitty was instantly rejected and, in turn, faded from within Kitty.

"So… she's gone?"

No. Dark Kitty's still inside of Kitty. She always will be. Darkness never fully goes away. It only fades until it eventually surfaces back to the top of us. But… Dark Kitty will no longer haunt Kitty's mind. She's gone… for a long, long time.

"What about Slender's memory?"

That's back too. Everything that Dark Kitty took should, eventually, return. Slender's memory, and, more important to Kitty…

Maddie simply smiled. "Her teleportation," she said.

You can tell her if you want.

Maddie watched as Alistair and Kitty kissed. "Nah… I'll wait," Maddie said. "Say, why did you have me send Lizzie back to your corpse?"

Ah, that. I should probably jump scenes. You ok to be in the dark till next chapter?

Maddie rolled her eyes. "I'm always in the dark till next chapter," she grumbled.

And that is why you're my best friend.

(Lizzie)

Lizzie had done as Maddie told her, rather reluctantly. She stared at her dead boyfriend, tears beginning to well back into her eyes. Facing the fact she'd have to do it, Lizzie took a breath and reached into Neb's right pocket, expecting nothing to be there.

Instead, she felt a piece of paper. Frowning a little, she grabbed it and pulled it out. She unfolded it and a ring fell from it. She sat down, picked up the ring, and inspected it. It was a simple ring with a beautiful opal as it's gemstone. Lizzie set the ring down and began to read the letter. As she read it from top to bottom, tears poured from her eyes.

This is what it read:

Lizzie,

By the time you read this, Kitty Cheshire would have shot me. I am well aware that I am going to die and that I will not survive this. But I have to Lizzie. Sometimes the right thing to do involves sacrifice. I know you may hate me… but when was that ever new?

Lizzie, you don't know how much I love you. You really, truly don't. We fight, we argue, we tease… but that's only because I love you. It's the only way I knew how to love, and I know that's the only way you know how to love too. It's what made us different… and why our love was so powerful.

She would have loved us Lizzie, back before the curse. Back… before… you know. The Queen and I met… once. She found me weird… but then again, you did too. That was way before we ever fell in love, and maybe why the Queen liked me so much. But… maybe that's what made us meant to be.

No one knows about your condition. We both know that you're losing it, slowly. You never told me… but you never needed to. I always knew. Lizzie… I know right now you feel alone… abandoned by the only person you think loved you more than maybe your mother. But trust me Lizzie… I'm never going anywhere. I'm in your heart… and your heart is bigger than any other heart that exists. I will never be away from you. You might be going insane Liz… you might one day forget me. But… I love you. And that love will always be there, through the pain, through the sadness, through the fog. I won't ever be apart from you. I promise.

You might have noticed the ring. Liz… I was going to propose to you. I know that you're eighteen. No one knows that but me, not even the Queen, huh? I… Liz… I was willing to risk my head for you. I love you… so much… that I would have risked being decapitated by your own mother just to be with you. We might not ever be like that… but… wear it. Even if we aren't married… I loved you enough that… we were.

I have one more request. This might kill you to do, and I know it will because I remember back when we talked about it. But… I need you to burn me. Put me on a raft and burn my body. I've always wanted it that way and I want you to do it. Don't invite anyone. Just… let it be you and me. One more time.

I love you Lizzie. And I'm sorry… I won't ever watch the sunset with you again.

Love,

Neb Author, the man who couldn't love… until he met you.

BN: And with that, one more chapter for this arc to go. Dark Kitty is gone, finally, after who knows how many arcs. I think that this finale of Dark Kitty was truly one of my best accomplishments. You'll never see her trying to take over Kitty's mind again, I promise. I always wanted a nice end for Lizzie's role. Neb knew he was going to die… so he wrote Lizzie that letter. Seriously, I cried when I wrote the thing. It really shows how much Neb cares, even though he never shows it. I need a moment, I'm still crying…

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
