Brittany's Point of View

I wait on the steps to the castle in The Land of Departure for Aly, Molly, and Grandpa Eraqus. Terra comes out to join us. "Hey, what's up?" He asked. "Nothing much. Just thinking." I sighed.

It's not a lie. I am thinking. I'm thinking about what's going to happen when they return. Will we be training with Terra, Aqua, and Ventus? Will Aqua even be training? Will training take up all our time? Will I be able to go home at all? What about Kairi? Can we fix her? Is she going to die? Is it going to be because of me?

"It's not your fault." Terra said, as if reading my mind. "The thing with Kairi? It kind of is my fault."I groaned. He thought for a minute and finally spoke. "Let me ask you something. You saw Master Eraqus kind of die but not really, right?" He checked "Well, yeah." I confirmed. "Do you think it was my fault?" Terra asked. "No. You didn't have a choice. He was going to destroy Ventus." I answered. "Well, how was what you did any different?" He questioned. I opened my mouth to tell him that he was wrong. That my situation was different. Nothing came out.

"They're here." Terra stated. I looked up to see that what Terra said was correct. Grandpa Eraqus wrapped his arms around me almost immediately. "I'm so glad you're safe." He whispered. After a few moments, he let go of me.

"Brittany, we need to talk. Now." Alison urged. "What is it?" I asked. "I'm not saying that this is what it is, but Maleficent might be involved. She was on the Isle of the Lost, and-" Alison started, but I finished her thought for her. "So bringing Mal here might have created an opportunity for Maleficent to put thoughts in Kairi's head so that she can have Darkness and be freed." I interrupted. "How did you do that?" Alison gasped. "Kingdom Hearts expert. I'm learning how things work around here." I replied. "So what do we do?" Alison asked. "You stay here. That's what your father told you to do, is it not?" Grandpa questioned Alison. "Yes sir." She sighed. "Then that's what you will do. I don't want any of you sneaking out." He insisted. "Like the wind." I joked with Alison. She laughed at my joke, knowing the meaning. Ventus means wind.

'Want to sneak out tonight?' Should I get Aly and Molly in on it? 'Nah. Light and Darkness would tattle.' And you won't because... 'I always was a bit of a rebel.' Awesome. 'So tonight?' Tonight.

"Don't worry Grandpa. There won't be any sneaking out here." I lied.


Shadow is really devious in this chapter. Hope you enjoyed.

Disneygirl125: Well his wife is in a coma. Sometimes it's easier to blame someone else than to keep your head clear. By the way, thank you so much for reviewing. I was starting to think that the only person who keeps reading this story is SoraKairiRikuNamine because he/she is the only one that reviews anymore. No offense SoraKairiRikuNamine.
