Brittany's Point of View
I wake up on the floor. Quickly, I stand to my feet. "Kairi is coming." Master Yen Sid announced without even looking in my direction. "Then I've gotta get out of here." I said. He shook his head. "No, you must stay. You can't run forever. You need to attempt to talk to her. If you fail, you must leave, but if you succeed then we can end this." Master Yen Sid said. "But how will I leave?" I asked. "Shadow can teach you how to open a dark corridor." He answered. I shuddered at the thought of it. "No way, not going to happen. Using darkness makes me sick." I argued. "Your glider then. Although Kairi can follow you that way." He said. "I'd rather have her on my tail than to have to go through that pain again." I insisted. "Never mind. It looks like Shadow will have to take over your body if you need to leave anyway. Kairi arrived sooner than I expected. She's here now." He said.
I looked out the window. Sure enough, Kairi was there. I run out the door and down the steps. I accidentally trip and fall. I close my eyes and scream as I wait to meet my end. Suddenly, I'm not falling. Something broke my fall. I open my eyes. Kairi caught me. She set me down. "So this is where you've been hiding. Where are your sisters?" She asked. I slowly backed away to the door. "I'm not telling." I stated. I went outside and Kairi followed. "I'm only doing this for your own good. You know that, right?" Kairi questioned. "No! Shadow chose me for a reason. Mom, don't do this." I pleaded. She hesitated for a moment, then put her hand up to her head. Her hand dropped back to her side. "I already have the perfect candidate for Alison. Where is she?!" Kairi snapped.
'Something's not right. Brittany, you have to fight her.' You want me to fight my mom?! 'I know it'll be hard, but I know you can win.' Okay.
I summoned my keyblade. "If you want Aly, you're going to have to go through me." I said. She summoned her keyblade. "Whatever it takes." She smirked. She charged at me and swung. I blocked and took a few steps back. She charged at me again.
Alright, dodge roll time! 'That's probably not a good idea.' Hey, if Sora could do it, so can I.
I attempted to perform a dodge roll, but Kairi kicked me mid-roll.
'Told you.' Whatever.
I got up and swung. She blocked and swung her keyblade down on mine so hard I lost my grip. My keyblade fell to the ground. She pointed her keyblade at me.
"Answers. Now." She ordered. "What is wrong with you!? We're all fine! We don't need you interfering!" I yelled. "Save it." She snapped. I could feel all my frustration and anger rushing inside of me. It was too much for me to contain. I felt the sick feeling that I've always felt when I use the darkness. Kairi falls to the ground, but that doesn't make the feeling go away. The darkness surrounds me. I fall to the ground and hug my knees. My head is spinning and I feel so feverish and cold.
Master Yen Sid appears in a puff of smoke. "What have you done child?" He gasped. I couldn't do anything but sit there. He knelt down beside Kairi. "Shadow." I whispered in a cry for help. My vision became black.
Shadow did her best to comfort me as I wept. All I did was ask the same stupid question over and over again like a broken record. "Is Mom okay?" I asked for the umpteenth time. "Your mother is alive. She stopped breathing for a few minutes, but I gave her CPR and brought her back to life. She's still unconscious. I'm going to take her back to The Land of Departure. I'm going to open a dark corridor and it's going to hurt. You ready?" She asked. I feel like a kid getting a shot. I clung onto Shadow out of dread. Once the pain started, I screamed. Once it left, I didn't have the strength to sit up. I fell to the floor.
"No Brittany! You can't sleep! Not now! You need to stay awake! Come on! Don't close your eyes!" Shadow panicked. "Have to... rest." I muttered. "No Brittany, stay awake. I need you to stay awake!" Shadow yelled. I can't make it I need to sleep. It took too much out of me. I start to close my eyes. "No Brittany! Do it for me. Do it for your mother!" Shadow ordered.
That's right. If I fall asleep, mom could die. I have to stay awake. I open my eyes again and struggle to sit up. Shadow helps me. "Come on, you can do this! Just a little bit more." Shadow encouraged. "Are we almost there?" I rasped. I'm not sure if I can. Shadow said nothing. I struggled and struggled to stay awake. Finally, Shadow sighed in relief.
"Brittany, you can sleep now, but when you wake up I want to take over you so that I can deal with things. I don't want you getting upset over something that someone says to you because everyone else is stressed with this, alright?" Shadow said. "Before you take me over, I want to see Kairi. I need to. This might be the last chance I get." I uttered. "Yes, you may. Don't forget. No matter what, it's going to be okay. I'm always going to take care of you." Shadow assured me. I drifted off to sleep.
Super huge plot twist. I can't believe I just did that.
SoraKairiRikuNamine: All right, I'll keep going then.
