Chapter 8 – Singer

(Singer)

I stepped out onto the stage, and met the eyes of all the workers in the military, and sighed. This was going to be long. The headset I was wearing let me communicate between the control center and let me use it as a microphone, even though I didn't need it.

"What do you want to do first, Crimson?" Someone asked. I never kept track of their names.

"I really don't care," I replied. "Something I can let the fury out with."

"Chihuahua?" They mocked. I smirked.

"Yeah, right. Something else."

"How about…Fly?" I asked. The other line was silent. "Guys?"

"Yo, Crimson!"

"Hughes…" I growled, walking back off the stage. People were starting to stare, and I really didn't like it. "What the hell are you doing up there?"

"Mustang…" he whispered into the mic. I barked a loud growl, and the cafeteria went silent. They must have heard you! Hughes thought. Do the Chihuahua Song! He thought again. "Please?"

"Hell no!"

"Why not?" he asked. I could feel my blood trickling into my pale skinned face. "Come on, you used to sing it all the time for Elysia!"

"Well, that was with Elysia. Where are the others that were up there?" I snapped at him. Gone…he thought. "Put on…Get out Alive."

Not that one…

"Hughes…" I growled. He did, and I walked back out onto the stage. I let the music enter my ears, and I turned the microphone to a microphone, and began to sing.

"No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
This is my last time she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on for your life (Life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on for your life
If I stay it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Hold on for:
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, if I go
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside"

I finished the song with a bow, and walked off the stage. Mustang stood there now, with his arms crossed, a cruel look on his face. Something was different with him. He motioned with his finger for me to stand in front of him…
