I don't own X-men Evolution or Lacuna Coil's 'When A Dead Man Walks'. Why you like to think I do is totally beyond me… I went dark and all angst on you. Heh. R&R.
Darkness. What else was there? In the end, there was nothing but darkness. A grim smile twisted the girl's mouth. That's all everyone succumbed to. Darkness: her darkness. And she opened her mouth, and sang.
"ParanoiaIn which I think that I'm not confident
Blood into my hands
Blood into my hands
Blood into my hands I can't deny
A buzz into my ears that makes me mad
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry"
A lonely tear traced its way down her cheek.
"But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me"
Shoulders shaking, more tears following the first. It hurt to be untouchable. Hurt to have to hide all the time. Locked up. It was killing her.
"Paranoia
In which I think I'm not that confident
A tiny hope that burns in to my breath
A bitter smile delights me at the end
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry
But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Killing me…
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry
But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Killing me…"
It was that simple. Their concern and love was killing her. Choking out her very existence, like weeds.
"Tamh to set mahself free… Good bah, Ah do lav ya'll. But Ah can't live in yoh cage no more. Yoh killing mah." A small sad smile that didn't quite reach her eyes flitted quickly over the Rouge's lips. First one step, then another, and again she moved on. Almost there, almost free from this bittersweet, gilded cage…and into the night the little bird flew.
"She's gone?!?" Confusion, anger, hurt and bitterness reined supreme in the mansion. They couldn't understand, refused to even try.
And in a room Lacuna Coil's 'When a Dead Man Walks' played on repeat.
Paranoia
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Killing me…
And in the snow, a little dead bird bled…
…..R&R please.
