Here it is, the final chapter! Sorry I left it, but the lyrics took forever. I got there eventually though! Please check out my other stories, and vote on the poll on my profile! I try to change my poll every week or two, so you can check back for new ones. I'm gonna leave everything else I have to say till the end, so here's the actual story!
BB and Faith walked down the hall. It was pitch black, and the only light came from Faith's dimly glowing eyes. BB stared humming a tune.
"What's that tune?" Faith asked.
"I don't know. I remember someone singing it to me. I think it was while I was shut down."
"Do you know the words?"
"I think so."
He hummed the intro section and started to sing;
"So many years,
So many, dark memories,
So many fears,
We've now put, to ease,"
Faith joined in.
"Pain makes you do things,
You never knew you could do,
Is this all real?
Or just deja vu?"
BB sang alone again.
"But now the party's over,"
Faith.
"Now the guests are gone,"
BB, looking at a clock.
"It's already past our bedtime,"
Faith, looking out a window.
"It's already almost dawn,"
They joined together.
"And just like balloons, we soar on our own,
Finally free from the pain of our home,
And just like balloons, that no-one will hold,
Free from the truth,
That no-one will know,
"Just little children,
Not at all strange
Until the lights went out,
And everything changed,"
BB saw Faith's ear shake in a way he knew in his heart stimulator it shouldn't.
"Alone and afraid
For oh so long
Wondering what did we do wrong?"
Faith shuddered slightly, and felt the fur on her ear come loose. BB saw a trickle of red run down her cheek.
"'Cause now the party's over
And everyone is red
I feel sick to my stomach
Or am I sick in the head?"
Faith was shaking more, and her arm felt wrong. She could feel it disconnecting from her shoulder. Not wanting to scare BB, she didn't say anything.
"Just like balloons,
We soar on our own!
Finally free
From the pain of our home!
And just like balloons,
That no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one will know,"
A shadowy blur went past, nearly invisible in the dim light.
"All of the pain
Far in the past
Yet echoes of screams
Will forever last"
Faith's arm finally loosened to the point of no return, and fell to the floor with a clang. Both of them tried to ignore it. A wince came from the darkness, but neither of them noticed.
"Just like balloons,
We soar on our own!
Finally free
From the pain of our home!
And just like balloons,
That no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one knows,
No one knows..."
Faith shook one last time, before her power container drained, and she shut down... for what might be the last time, leaving BB to cry alone in the darkness. But unbeknownst to him, he wasn't alone, for a figure in the shadows shared his sadness and grief.
I know it's really dark, but I hope you enjoyed. If people really want me to, I might make this longer, but I'd do it as a sequel. Thumbs up if you get the Easter egg at the end!
