Alison's Point of View

We landed in The World that Never Was in front of the skyscraper. "I'm going to let Molly have control of her body now, but it might take a while for her to wake up. You will have to carry her." Light explained. I nodded.

Molly collapsed to the ground. I picked her up and carried her. I'm glad she's still small. "Wondered when you were going to be here." A unfortunately familiar voice said from what was probably a rooftop. He teleported in front of me. I clutched Molly a little bit tighter. If he noticed, he didn't mention it.

"Xigbar." I groaned. "Hey, don't worry. I was instructed not to give you any problems. Of course, the definition of problems is relative." He smirked, while opening a dark corridor. "Whatever." I rolled my eyes as I walked through the dark corridor. I hope Molly will be okay. Xigbar follows behind me. "I can hold the kid for you." He offered. "No thanks. I got it." I huffed. There is no way he's going to touch her.

When I stepped out of the dark corridor, I was in the Grey Area. Xehanort is there. Xigbar left immediately after. "Alison. It's been a while." He greeted. "Yeah. I guess so." I agreed.

Molly shifted in my arms and opened her eyes. "Aly?" She mumbled. She slowly became aware of her surroundings. I set her down. She glared at Xehanort. Or Dad. Or whoever! How about from now on I just call everyone Dad?! 'You're being illogical.' Sorry. I'll probably be illogical a lot for a while. 'That's understandable.'

"Why are we here? With him?" She sneered. "Molly, sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend even if he's my enemy." I tried to explain to her. "That doesn't even make sense!" She huffed.

'Why does she have to be so whiny?' Why do you have to complain so much? Besides, it's not like she has any mixed feelings about him being the enemy. Unlike me, she doesn't have any mixed feelings.

Molly flung herself onto a couch. "What is this world coming to?" She groaned. "Worlds." Xehanort corrected. "Nothing makes sense anymore!" She growled. Xehanort walked to me. "Is she always like this?" He whispered. "Only when she's woken up." I whisper back.

"Aly, I need to stress eat. Is there anything sweet here?" Molly asked. I rolled my eyes. "You don't even know what that means." I groaned. I turn my attention back to Xehanort. Is Riku around?" I wondered. "Present." Riku stated from behind me. I turn around and give my new big brother a quick hug.

"Do you think you could get Molly something to eat? I think she's hungry. Oh and don't give her junk food. Give her a real meal. If making a healthy meal is too much to handle, then take her out to eat. Oh and she can have desert afterward, but only if she finishes all her food. Don't give her any if she doesn't. Don't forget-" Riku puts his hand up, interrupting me. "Yeah, Kairi told me all about the food groups when I was talking about taking Brittany. Trust me, I can manage. Come on Molly. Let's go get you some food." Riku said. "Okay." Molly replied.

After they left, Xehanort was the first to speak. "Do you think she'll ever warm up to me?" He wondered. "Have you met her dad?" I snorted. "Good point." He agreed.

There's a pause of awkward silence. I could so listen to Story of Us twenty times over right now. "I'm sorry that I dragged you into this." I apologized. "You have nothing to be sorry for. You're my daughter." He assured me. "Do you... still love me? Saying no won't change anything. Saying yes won't either. I'm just curious." I asked. "I will always love you Alison. No matter what you do, I will always love you." He replied.

'Don't forget what I said before. If you continue to not push him away, he might change his mind about creating the X-blade. You really should at least try to get along with him.' Right. I'll try, but I'm afraid that's all I can do. I'm not sure if I can actually get through the day without drama.

Molly rushed into the room. "By the way, Daddy's on our side so you can call him and tell him where we are. I just wanted to let you know before he starts to worry." Molly said. Then she ran in the direction she came. "Well that's different. Sora is actually right. Do you think I should tell Sora where Molly and I are?" I asked. "I see no harm in it. Molly is his daughter after all." He agreed.

I grabbed my cell phone. I guess I can do that now. 'You should. He will be worried.' What do you think of he'll say? 'Well, he probably won't like it. But this is the safest place for you right now.'

I dialed Dad's number. He picked up. "Hello?" He said. "Dad, it's Alison. Molly and I escaped." I informed him. "Good. Where are you?" He asked. "You're not going to like it, but we're with my real Dad." I explained. "What!?" Dad gasped. "It's the last place Mom would look. We're safe for now." I said. "No your not! Whatever deal he made with you, he won't keep it. You need to find a better place to hide." Dad insisted. "But Dad, we can stay here. Everything will be okay." I argued. "No, it won't be!" He shouted.

"Alison, let me talk to Sora." Xehanort said. "Dad, Xehanort wants to talk to you. Try not to become irrational." I said, handing the phone to Xehanort. I listened as Xehanort talks to Dad.

"Sora." Well that's a good start. "Yes, I know." Dad's probably yelling at him right now. "I apologize for taking your daughter. I do not apologize for taking mine." And now things are going sour. "I know that. But you know what? You never even gave me a choice." A choice in what? "I could have. You never know." I'm confused. "No you don't. You only think you know. Sora, if I were to give up my conquest for the X-blade right now, what would you say?" What?! Did he just say what I think he did?! 'Well, it looks like our plan happened without us. Things are going our way for once.' Yeah, I guess so.

"Yes. I have never been so serious in all my life. I can't have both Alison and the X-blade. I want to be the father that Alison deserves." I think I'm about to cry. 'Alison! Darkness can't cry.' You're right, you're right. I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me. Xehanort handed the phone back to me. I took it and placed it to my ear. "Is this what you want?" Dad asked. 'Okay, so maybe you can cry, just this once.

Tears came rushing out. "Yes." I sobbed. "Then from here on out, as long as you give me no reason to, you and your father are now free to live among the light." Sora declared. "Thank you!" I cried. "Oh, and tell your Dad that I'm coming to get my daughter."

Wow, what an amazing chapter. For any of you who think that this would make the perfect ending, too bad. There's still more to do here. 😉
