Born with no life... into subjugation
By the time she learned to fight the battle war already over, and she'd lost. She was born into this life, and in this life she would remain. Uneducated, uncivilized, unhuman.
Treated like a worthless animal
They chained her, beat her, tormented her. Every day spent shackled and shamed, dehumanized for their entertainment.
Stripped of all rights
She couldn't question it, any question was destroyed before it was asked. There was nothing for her in that life, nothing she could do. Only one question remained, rasped from dry, bloodied lips as broken as the rest of her body. Why?
Just a lesser being
She would never be as good as them. They would always be bigger, stronger, smarter, better. She was an orphan born into a world of nothing. They owned the largest dust company in the world-the only dust she would ever see was the dirt she tracked in on her shoes.
Crushed by cruel ruthless human rule
They would always rule over her, powerful and rich. Her parent's had died mining their dust, and she would never be able to make them feel the same.
When it started, all we wanted was a chance to live our lives
He gave her a chance. Adam, who'd found her chained and broken, accepting of her fate, locked in one of their warehouses. He saved her. He gave her a chance for revenge.
Now in darkness
He always took it further than she wanted, than she expected. He just couldn't stop himself, he had to go through with his plans no matter what. They were all that mattered to him. Or had been, as he'd assured her. He'd promised never to leave her, in the darkness of their hideout he'd promised to never abandon her.
Taking everything we want and we will rise
She wanted revenge. That was it, just her version of justice. She just wanted to make them pay. The name Schnee still felt bitter on her tongue, and she'd vowed never to stop until they truly knew what she'd felt. But she couldn't keep going on like this.
We'll rise
They could both be brilliant. She could get her revenge, he could achieve his secretive goals. But not together. She'd loved him, but he was like poison. And the longer she remained with him, the more corrupt she would become until her heart was as dark as her ink black hair.
We'll rise
It was the hardest thing she'd ever done. Harder than leaving the warehouse, than almost taking innocent lives, harder even than losing her parents. She had to look him in the eye, the only one who'd ever been there for her, and destroy him. Breaking herself in the process.
"Goodbye."
Adam swore never to abandon Blake, but she never promised to remain by his side.
