"Seventy bottles of beer on the wall, seventy bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around, sixty nine bottles of beer on the wall!"
"CAN SOMEONE SHUT THEM UP?!"
"You know we can't do anything or else the commander will kill us!"
"They've been singing that same darn song on repeat for TWO HOURS! Something needs to be done!"
"So you want me to sing something else? Okay! This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends!"
"OH SON OF A-" I interrupted them with the beginning of yet another loud, long, and most definitely annoying song.
"OH THE DUCK WALKED UP TO THE LEMONADE STAND…"
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU BE QUIET!" a guard held the other rampaging soldier back, trying desperately to keep him from getting to my cell.
"Agh- No! If we hurt them, the commander's gonna be furious! Stand your ground! Ack!"
"ENOUGH!" A low voice bellowed through the halls, making even me jump and my singing ground to a halt. A man stormed up to my cell and the two guards who had been dealing with me snapped to attention. He turned slowly towards me, a deep glare penetrated my shield of confidence.
"You two, switch out with the guards I positioned outside. I'll take this one to the front lines with me, but we'll be back very soon." With that, the guards gave a salute before marching off down the hall, all the while, the man's gaze never left mine. In the midst of our staring contest, he had unlocked my cell, but before I could respond, he was already in my face, this time he was locking both of my hands in cuffs that I was pretty sure were way too small, but he fit them on anyway.
"Come on Songbird, it's about time we clip your wings. Can't have you decreasing moral, now can we?" For whatever, reason, I couldn't speak as he shoved me out of the cell and into the hallway. I wasn't sure, but as he pushed me through the halls, I could have sworn he twisted my cuffs so that the metal would cut into my skin. My thoughts were confirmed as a small amount of liquid was felt dripping down my fingers.
