V woke with Ophelia still across his chest.
Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
V held Ophelia to him as he slowly and painfully turned over, watching her sleeping face as he laid her down on the pallet. He laid her on her back, her face turned toward him. He couldn't understand why they would do so much to such an innocent girl, making her kill, making her heal. If only he had known. Then...
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all the worlds to offer
There's so much more than I could bear
V touched her soft white hair, wondering.He remembered that she said for saving Evey, she was willing to follow him anywhere. He looked around the vast space they occupied, seeing that she lived alone. Such purity, He thought, the purity of a young soul as hers. And they have done such things to her.
Unleash the beast within,
I fight with the strength of a hundred men
Such strength in a little girl. He remembered how easily she was able to lift him from the ground, how easily she was able to brace his weight as she took him to her bike. What he couldn't understand though, is why? Why would they give her such abilities if they were not going to use her for something? What he wanted to know is what they were going to use her for.
When them guns goes off,
We be ready for war,
When them guns goes off,
Bitches hit the floor.
V looked around at the walls, seeing various weapons. He saw axes, swords, daggers, whips, chains, staffs, bows, crossbows, and different types of guns. She's getting ready for war, He thought. He began to think that the naivete he saw in her face was real, but at the same time, not. She was naïve to the way of the world, yes, that he saw. But he could also see that she had at least some semblance of how it worked. And to her, the Fingermen ruled all. It came to him that she wanted to stop them. He had stopped the leader, she wanted to make sure that no-one could take his place. She was going to take out whoever had tried to.
I don't know why, but the ladies adore,
And maybe doing things, I seem a little freaky,
He thought back to whenever he had spoke to her. The twitches of her eyes. His eyes went to her face when he realized that she...that she liked him, that he appealed to her.
Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
V laid so that he met her face to face. He began to realize that even after what they had done to her, she still had a natural beauty, inside and out. He saw that her innocence was not entirely lost. That honor had a place with her.
