I used to only know Cinder
I worshipped the ground at her feet
She took me in, gave me purpose
And kept me off the street
…
But it was merely another tactic
To mask what she truly wanted
But I stayed; she was all I had
I must've been haunted
…
I followed her like a puppy
For she acted like my master
We soon ran into Mercury
I knew immediately what she was after
…
I begged her to leave him
He was dangerous, I was scared
A smack was all she gave me
I knew then she didn't care
…
But I followed regardless
Where was I to go?
I reluctantly befriended Mercury
If only for show
…
We helped her kill a Maiden
We achieved the aid of Taurus
And eventually, we met you Ruby
I had no clue what was in store for us
...
When we first met you
You were meek; you were shy
But you sought out new friends
With those innocent silver eyes
...
I thought you were just faking
I despised you with all my being
But you kept trying, you sought me out
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
...
You were always so happy
How can you even bear it!?
I hated it, I hated you
But I withheld from sharing it
...
Eventually, the Fall came
And chaos reigned on Beacon
I watched, one by one
As Huntsman were beaten
...
I was horrified; how could we?
I didn't realize the sheer scale
Of the destruction we had planned
It made me nauseous and pale
...
I was alone on this thought
As Cinder sat there and reveled
I realized then, helplessly
I was a slave to the devil
...
But it got even worse
I can't possibly explain it all
Watts, Hazel and Tyrian
They made Cinder look small
...
But the worst of them all
Is that thing they call Salem
I don't know what she is
But I know better than to fail them
...
If I do, who knows?
It's better not to ask
You've got a challenge ahead of you Ruby
This is no easy task
...
But you have friends with you
Who will fight, protect, die
Because they love you like their own
I envy that, oh do I
...
I never thought I'd say it
To me, you were a Beacon Brat
But you're on the right side
Huh, can you believe that?
...
...
