That actually got a laugh out of her, a big one. She nearly had to place her hand on the wall to steady herself because of it. She was being called a "whore"? That was hilarious!
"You t'ink I slept wit' Alistaire for pay or status? What 'ave you been snortin' ?" She wiped tears from her eyes. "I was never 'is whore. I loved de bastard at one point. Problem is, I don' agree wit' what 'e does no more. I won' stand for 'im ruinin' people's lives for 'is personal gain, or dat o' de Club."
"An' point all you want. I know what I done. I know what I was, an' I know what I am, now. I can own up to everyt'ing about me." Alisa grinned a bit. "But you contradicted yourself, Chere. You said bein' a Queen is livin', yet you said you been molded an' groomed for it from day one. Is it truly what you want outta your life? Or is it what was programmed into your skull?"
She folded her arms under her chest, shaking her head.
"My whole life, I was groomed to be a replacement for someone. When dat fell t'rough, I was groomed to be an "enforcer". I never questioned it, I t'ought dat was what I wanted an' what I was to do. An' by de time I got smart, it nearly killed me. It wasn' anyt'ing I wanted. I don' wanna hurt good people. I don' wanna break bones because I'm ordered to. I want to find myself an' be me. To find what makes me 'appy. An' in order to find dat, I gotta start from scratch... dat includes admittin' I was a t'ug, a bully, an' a complete asshole in de past. Now, I'm gonna figure out 'ow to use my powers to 'elp people... den I'm gonna forge my own path in life."
"So hate me all you want lil' girl, it doesn' bother me none." Which Brooke could tell was true. Alisa's readings were coming off as though what Brooke was saying her did not bother her in the least bit. "But I'm warnin' you. You keep on dat path you want, you gonna be a very lonely gal. Learn from de mistakes o' someone who's been dere an' forge your own path before it's too late."
