Song: 21 Guns by Green Day

*Violante's POV*

I had just been rescued by Alonzo, and was now sitting alone on the TSE1, the only one (or so I thought) awake.

I was still very scared, and I was thinking about everything I now had.

Friends.

A family.

A home.

A crush.

Is it all worth it?

Should I really interfere with regular Jellicle life just to be safe?

I began to sing to myself, completely unaware of the grey eyes watching and the black ears listening.

Do you know what's worth fighting for?

When it's not worth dying for?

I would die for the Jellicles, though, I would.

Does it take your breath away?

I jumped, and looked to see who sang that.

My friend Munkustrap came out, looking concerned.

He's like that, I guess.

And you feel yourself suffocating?

I had to finish his line, I guess.

He took it as an answer.

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

It was a very good question, but the answer failed me.

Do you look for a place to hide?

He was using my singing against me.....

Did someone break your heart inside?

He came and sat by me, waiting for an answer.

"Maybe." I whispered, not one to talk about my feelings too often.

I averted my thoughts to me and my sisters weapon collection back at Sarafina's

22 guns. We would count them by saying "One, twenty-one"

I had ot keep my brain occupied, so i didn't fight with it.

You're in ruins

"I am not!"

He raised his eyebrows at me, and I felt a spark in my chest.

I hated fighting with myself, especially when I was losing.

I brought my voice to sing about the guns, not him.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

and give up the fight...

One 21 guns

Throw up your arms

and look to the sky

I did look to the sky, and he was standing above me, looking down.

You and I.....

I was losing with myself.

When you're at the end of the road

and you've lost all sense of control

and your thought have taken their toll

when your mind breaks the sprirt of your soul.

"It's not the end, Vio. Not at all."

I continued anyway.

When your faith walks on broken glass

and the hangover doesn't pass

Nothing's ever built to last..

You're in ruins...

Distract myself, quick!!

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms and give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

into the sky

I did throw my arms up, but they landed on his shoulders, and i flopped my head down, tired, and my fight lost.

You and I...

he whispered, stroking my head fur.

Im sure he was wondering about the gun thing.

Did you try to live in your own?

When you burned down the house and home?

How did he know me and my sisters tried to burn Sarafina and her house down?

Did you stand too close too the fire?

We all did, and I think me and tanta are the only ones with scars..

Like a liar looking for forgiveness

from a stone

We all lied, and I don't know if i wanted forgiveness.

He walked me home, and I hoped there was no one watching.

I knew i was going to have to be extra quit at Jenny's house.

he gave me some last words to think about

When it's time to live and let die

and you can't get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins...

He laughed at me as he said it.

We sang what we'd been saying all night together, whether he understood the guns or not.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms and give up the fight

One 21 guns

Throw up your arms

into the sky

You and I

I sang the last line as I walked into the house, almost mad at myself for losing the fight.

But relieved it was over.

I wonder if Munkustrap had been fighting too.

I may never now, but I knew something.

No matter how I tried to deny it, even now.

I was in love.


*A bit of fluff for kicks, but I needed to get the point across. I hope you like it, Violante! HeeHe, you lost your fight. Me too! Lol! Review Plz.*
