Chapter Text
Wyn breathed heavily, this masked boy was testing her. He had to be. He kept taunting her and she hated it. She used Stardust as a crutch for a moment before she stood up to her full height. A calming breath was taken as she reminded herself that getting angry and losing her cool is what this boy wanted. He wanted to unravel her and strew what was left around him.
"I thought you'd be stronger," he sneered before he took a step towards her.
"And I thought you'd be taller," she sounded braver than she felt. Especially because he already had a good seven inches at least on her.
Her eyes narrowed when he laughed that maniacal laugh. She tensed, ready for another round of fighting before he said,
"No wonder they left you behind!"
"Didn't take you for an idiot, but hey surprises happen all the time, huh?"
His head tilted slightly and he continued as if she never spoke.
"You can stop searching, they didn't want you. You know that. Hell, your birth parents didn't even want you, what made you think Terra did?"
"Shut up! You don't know the first damn thing about him!"
"That's why he abandoned you. He realized what a disappointment you were and cut his losses."
Wyn tried to stop her hand from shaking. The masked boy was wrong, Terra had loved her even though he had to leave.
Underneath his helmet, the boy smirked. This was too easy, her heart was fragile and he hadn't broken anything in a while.
"No one ever came back for you, you had to wonder why you were alone for so long. Even the people he left you with didn't want you," he appeared behind her before starting to circle her, like a lion circling its prey. "It's sad, isn't it? You're always wandering, looking for the man you think wants you as his daughter when really? He wants nothing to do with you. He discarded you as easily as everyone else in your life has.
But you know that already don't you? That's why you keep running. You tell yourself it's because you want to find him, Aqua, and Ventus because if you admit it's because you're running from the truth your heart will shatter."
The snow-haired wielder shook her head denying him without speaking. The masked boy laughed again.
"You're better off as a heartless, no one would miss you because you're nothing but a burden on all who come into contact with you."
Satisfied with his progress, he stepped back before summoning a dark corridor. He'd widened the fissures in her heart, a little more pressure and she'd break. But that was a game for another day. "If you want to get stronger, there's always darkness."
Wyn turned around to tell him to fuck off, that she'd never turn to darkness but suddenly he was gone. And she was alone again.
