Brittany's Point of View

I wake up to a knocking on my door. I open it and on the other side is Xehanort. I feel a chill running up my spine. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. "Are you all right, Brittany?" Oh, that's right. I'm going to learn how to use my darkness from him and how to use my keyblade. I wish Riku could have taught me. Oh well. I've gotta learn from someone right? Might as well be Xehanort. "Yeah, I'm fine." I reply. "All right. Come with me." He says. He opens up a dark corridor. We both walk into the darkness.

Sadly, dark corridors aren't instant teleportation, and so I'm either doomed with awkward silence or conversation. Xehanort speaks first. "So, how old are you? I'm just wondering." He asks.

My brain is totally fried. That's not good. Calm down Brittany. He just asked how old I was. Is that important? Does it mean something? Do I have to be a certain age in order for his plans to work? Is he just trying to start a conversation? Am I being paranoid? Snap out of it Brittany! Think of something clever! What would Alison do?

"Older than Alison." I replied, sounding a lot more confident than I feel. "You don't trust me." He stated. "No, I'm afraid I don't." I replied. "I see. I suppose it would be hard to trust anyone anymore. You found out that a video game is real and you're stuck inside of it. The man and woman who raised you are both from the video game and are not your real parents. Your real mother and father are also from this video game. In fact, your mother is from two video games." Xehanort said.

That's weird. He knows about Final Fantasy. How did he find out about Final Fantasy? Just how much does he know?

We stepped out of the dark corridor. We ended up in The Hall of Empty Melodies.

"At least it turned out to be the one video game I specialize in. If I got stuck in a game like Epic Mickey, I'd probably be dead right now." I commented, trying to get an estimate on how much he knows. "Now that would be unfortunate. You aren't very good with that game are you?" He asked, although it wasn't a question.

Apparently, he had been spying on me. If he had been spying on me, then he's been spying on Alison and Molly too. But that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that he doesn't seem to care if I know that he was. It's almost like he wants me to bring it up. He wants me to ask him how he knows. It might bring up some good information. I don't know if I can keep my temper down if I ask about it. I don't know if I can keep my temper down anyway.

I decide to go with what is probably the most predictable response. I summon my keyblade and point it at his throat. "How did you know about that?" I questioned with clenched teeth. "What ever could you be talking about Brittany?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

Alright, that made me angry. I felt a surge run through me. A cold surge so unlike anything I've ever felt before. That was the scariest moment in my life. I think I might be sick now. Xehanort dodged away from my keyblade and a blast of darkness came into existence. So that's what he was doing. He can move quickly for an old man. That still doesn't change the fact that he was spying on us. I forced myself to calm down.

"That was a good start. The more you use it, the easier it is to control it." He said. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes. "I don't want to do that again." I whispered. My legs gave out and I fell to the floor. I sobbed uncontrollably.

Xehanort sat on the floor beside me and wrapped his arms around me. I know that he's not the best person to comfort me, but I needed someone. Using the darkness was terrible. He stroked my hair lightly. I'm sure I'll regret it later, but I let him hold me and continue to cry. It feels like I've cried for hours when my tears dry up.

"Some people are more sensitive to darkness than others. You seem to be more sensitive than most. I'll keep that in mind." Xehanort says at last. "Are you going to make me do that again?" I sobbed. "No. Not today." He replied

I want to go home.

And there you have it. I hope you enjoyed. Thank you Ruby Rose and her Cookies and unicron1000 for your reviews.

v.t.7: Yeah, I know that I need to work on that. I hope this one was a little bit better.

bladenmckinlay: Thank you. You stood up for me. I'm Esmeralda. (Couldn't resist a good Kingdom Hearts quote, and it does fit the moment.)
