Benladann POV
.
.
.
It was as if I had been drowning in an endless sea of darkness.
Everything felt dull.
There was nothing but the void, emptiness.
Nothing but .
And so, I slept.
And slept…
And slept more…
I don't know how long I slept.
My body seed to no longer belong to , and it was as if I was devoid of anything…
I slept within the darkness, despair and fear faded away, and there was simply… nothing.
I had beco empty…
For I don't know how long, it continued to be like this.
Sotis, fragnts, strange mories of blue-skinned people would flash through my mind.
Who were these people?
I don't know…
I only know that whenever I rembered them, I felt a warmth within my empty heart.
There was sothing… that I needed to rember.
There were people… I wanted to rember.
Aside from Miranda… I was soone else.
But no matter how hard I searched, no matter how hard I had dived into the sea of darkness… I could not find the answers I looked for.
But… there was sothing not right…
I continued to look for it…
I wanted… to know…
But the darkness continued to block my path.
I had begun to despair once more…
But every ti I rembered those fragnts of mories I saw, so strange new strength surged into my heart.
What was this sensation? This warmth, this comfort…
Who were these people to ?
I wish… I could rember…
I want to rember…
I want to rember who were these people!
Why…?
Why… do I love them so much?
I continued to delve into the darkness… I continued for… god knows how long…
But it always blocked my path.
I despaired… and despaired…
But the mories brought strength into my heart.
My mind was filled with twisted mories, and emotions bubbling in and out.
But there was sothing that always made felt calm… them.
But it began to hurt.
The darkness beca envious and angered, and it began to pierce with needles.
It was so painful…
Hundreds, no, thousands of needles were constantly piercing my very spirit, trying to wear down.
The piercing pain was so horrendous I wished I could die many tis.
Just kill already… Why must you keep here? Trapped and despaired? Only to make you feel better?
What do you want from ?
"Family"
Ah…
"Don't you rember? We wanted a family, and we are here, both of us! You don't need any other people than ! We are twins, we are family, and we don't need anyone else!"
My sa voice spoke to , with a different tone…
She said… we were family.
But… I don't want to be your family.
"Eh?"
Let go…
"What did you said?!"
Let go! I have… I have a family! I know I have a family! Let go! I don't want to be the family of a horrible mold! I hate you! I hate you!
"Eh?! H-How can you say that?! After all, we had gone through… Y-You... You dare raise your voice against ?!"
Yes… I am sick of you… I am sick of being controlled by you! I am sick of… all of you!
I am sick of pretending… that I like you! I hate you!
Go away!
"No… Miranda…. You're such an ungrateful sister! After all, I have helped you… Do you treat like this?! T-This… OKAY THEN! I will have to just cage you down again!"
What? No! Let goooo!
"Sorry… but this is how things are! Until you learn to respect your sister!"
Stop! STOOOOP!
As I was caged into even deeper darkness, a sudden flash of bright light ca out of nowhere.
It was as if fate itself had intervened as if the heavens had pitied … sothing, like a miracle.
Such… light.
I wanted to escape this… I didn't want to be with her anymore.
She only thinks of herself, she's selfish, and only wants for herself…
She is even locking the mories that make happy…
How can she be a good sister?
I quickly dived through the darkness and tried to grasp the light.
But every ti I tried to do so, the darkness grasped my feet and pulled down.
"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"
No! Shut up! You're… you're not even my sister!
"W-What?!"
You're just an alien thing! A mold! You just copied my mind!
I already rember everything… you're not even real! I don't even have a sister!
"H-How can you say that, Miranda?!"
LET GO!
I quickly move through the darkness and punch the reflection of my own self, as she flies away.
"Aggh…! How can you… how dare you hit ?!"
I ignore her cries as I keep diving, extending my hand into the light.
Please… soone… save !
Please…!
However, I am once more grasped by the tentacles of darkness, as she pulls down once more.
"Unnnnggghharraaagghh! MIRANDAAAA…! YOU ARE MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"
My reflection suddenly twists and shapeshifts, as it becos a grotesque monster made of black mold, roaring with many mouths and eyes, trying to eat !
No… NO, NO, NO!
You're just an illusion! You're not real!
"GRAAAAAAAAAH!"
I quickly kick, punch, and attack the monster, it is enormous, and it could eat , but when I brace myself and try to fight, it sohow works.
"Uugh…! Aggh…! W-WHYYYY?!"
I keep rembering that warmth, those people that always made happy, and it brings strength, a surging, overflowing strength like anything I have ever felt!
I grab the light, and then I use it to hit her!
FLAAASH!
"UNNNGGRRRYYYAAAAAAHHHH…! STOP! IT BURNS! IT BUUUUUURRRNNNSSSS!"
I am sorry… But this is what I had to do!
In fact… I should have done this… long ago…
You're… but a reflection of my past!
I am not Miranda anymore…
"NOOO! WAIT! DON'T… SAY THAT!"
My na is…
"UNNGH…! WAIT!"
My na is Benladann!
FLASH!
Suddenly, I am covered in pure and white light, and I dissipate and burn the darkness, my reflection turns into dust and disappears, as I am dragged into the sky.
And from the sky, a little claw erges and grasps my hand.
The claw had blue, crystal-like scales.
