Going back stage she got her hair ready pulling it up like Christina in the movie. A smile appeared as she thought about watching it with her mother as a teen. The song was also from the movie. It was one that had always resonated with her. There was another song as well that did that. One that she had sung to Loki many years ago. It was all so long ago and yet she could remember it like it was yesterday. Maybe she would get to sing that song again.
The goddess was soon on stage the curtain down. She took in a deep breath wondering if she could even still do this. It had been so very long since she had sung anything. Yet she felt it in her gut. Both her parents could sing and she knew she could too. It didn't matter that she hadn't done it in a long time, she could still do it. The curtain came up and soon the music started.
"Feeling broken/Barely holding on/But there's just something so strong" Her will. That thing that kept her going even when she wanted to give up. Jade had never had it in her to give up. "Somewhere inside me/And I am down but I'll get up again/Don't count me out just yet"
He was mesmerized when the curtain rose and there she was. The spotlight made her hair shine and her voice was so sweet. It made him shiver again as tingles moves through him. What was she doing to him? How was she doing this to him? It had to be something to do with her being a goddess. But was he really opposed to it? He hadn't felt anything like this since he was a teen. After that things had pretty much gone dead desire wise.
"I've been brought down to my knees/ And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking" The point of breaking had been losing her father and Loki at pretty much the same time. " But I can take it/I'll be back/Back on my feet/This is far from over." It would never be over. As long as she breathed it would never be over. Even as she lost herself more and more she would keep fighting to stand. "You haven't seen the last of me/You haven't seen the last of me"
Pain, he heard it as she sang. Did it surprise him? No, something about her spoke of pain in her life. Though he got the feeling most of it came from when she was human. It had to be hard to a be a goddess after being mortal. Though judging by how young she looked she might have only been in her twenties when she became a goddess. " Twenty six, that was how old she was."
Pain had been a companion to her for a long time. From the moment she noticed the distance her father had started to put between him and her mother. " "They can say that/I won't stay around/But I'm gonna stand my ground" And she had. Even when a spell gone wrong had sent her to the past where at the time she had known no one. It wasn't till later when She was sent to Asgard that she was thankful for that damned spell. "You're not gonna stop me/You don't know me/You don't know who I am/Don't count me out so fast"
Alabaster had the feeling he knew more than he should, or rather Loki knew. Loki seemed to know a lot of things about the silver on stage. It made him wonder if the old stories about reincarnation were true. So did Thank make his alter a past life? He would have to do more research into it. Though it was doubtful he would come up with anything concrete.
"I've been brought down to my knees/And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking/ But I can take it" She had forgotten how many times she had been pushed past her breaking point. Jade still remembered Luxu and how he had raped her. How that had knocked her down so far and how she had barely been able to sing at that stupid ball. But she had still done it after finding out Loki was going to be there. "I'll be back/Back on my feet/This is far from over/You haven't seen the last of me"
" There will be no fade out/This is not the end/I'm down now/But i'll be standing tall again/Times are hard but/I was built tough" Daddy and Mama a had made her tough. They hadn't shied away from the nitty gritty stuff once she was old enough. The islanders had also made it their mission to torture her when she was there." I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of/I've been brought down to my knees/And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking/But I can take it/ I'll be back/Back on my feet/ This is far from over/I am far from over/You haven't seen the last of me"
People were starting to stand and clap as if the song was almost over. Alabaster got up trying to keep his eyes on her. He could see the pain in her eyes too. What horrors had she faced to harbor so much sorrow, so much agony? The male wanted so badly to wrap her up in his arms and never let go. He had the feeling however that he was gonna have to get through wall after wall before that happened.
"No no/I'm not going nowhere/I'm staying right here/Oh no/You won't see me begging/I'm not taking my bow" The end of the song and she had kept her eyes on him for most of it. The look on his face one that spoke so much and yet nothing all at once. Why would he want to hold her? Why would he want anything to do with her? Most only came trying to get her favor. "Can't stop me/It's not the end/You haven't seen the last of me/Oh no/You haven't seen the last of me/You haven't seen the last of me" But maybe he would be different from those before him.
