Well everybody this is it, we can say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023. Happy New Year! I just hope that this year will at least be better than last year, because last year was terrible! I had Covid twice and influenza, aka a terrible flu and I had to go to the emergency room twice. Not to mention, the deaths of so many people, like Bob Saget, Emilio Delgado, Pat Carroll, Queen Elizabeth II and Kevin Conroy. RIP to all of them!
Anyway my new chapter is up and please leave a review because I would really like to know how I'm doing, because some things I want to make sure I'm doing it right. The song in this chapter is inspired by Aaron Fraser-Nash.
Were You Ever
After Hava left the kitchen she slowly walked around thinking about what Lonnie said. Hava knew that she was lucky that she had a father who loves and cares for her. But it made her think how much she missed her father even more. As she was thinking of him still stuck on the Isle, it made her so sad. She didn't care what that hairless beast of a king, Belle or what Fairy Godmother said. Who were they to decide what was good or bad? Or what was right or wrong? Hava then started to sing softly.
They call him villain
They call him demon
But if you'd seen what I seen
Would you feel the same?
Were you ever seen as a monster on sight?
A creature of the night
And wondered why
I will not run
I will not fear
I will come and be right here
Were you ever seen as an outsider?
A misfit that is painted as a horned viper
Treated as a creature filled with dire
Were you ever seen as a mistake?
Had a time when you'd just break
Your plans are in ruin and you're left with ache
I love my dear dad
We share a goal
To gain our freedom
But the Beast takes his tolls
Our time for vengeance is right in sight
They will see the strength of our might
From Prydain to Camelot
We will not lose ourselves
We will not lose faith
We will stand as one like a pack of wolves
Were you ever seen as an outsider?
A misfit that is painted as a horned viper
Treated as a creature filled with dire
Were you ever seen as a mistake?
Had a time when you'd just break
Your plans are in ruin and you're left with ache
You wait now Pig boy, the time of the dead will come
And when it does, our shadows will carry our rage
Because our judgment was never yours
Were you ever seen as an outsider?
A misfit that is painted as a horned viper
Treated as a creature filled with dire
Were you ever seen as a mistake?
Had a time when you'd just break
Your plans are in ruin and you're left with ache
Hava then heard someone clapping, she quickly turned to find it was Emrys, who was smiling and walking over to her as he continued clapping.
"Emrys? What are you doing here?" Hava asked.
"Sorry love, I wanted to talk to you back in the kitchen, but I figured it wasn't the right time," Emrys told her, "Wow Hava, you're a lovely singer."
"Thanks," Hava smiles, "My father would sing to me when I was a kid, it's probably why I started enjoying singing."
"You really miss him, don't you?" Emrys said with sympathy.
"Yes," Hava answers.
"Believe it or not I know the feeling," Emrys said, "All my life I've been raised by my grandfather Merlin and I grew very close to him."
"Your parents?" Hava asked.
"Not around," Emrys answers straight-forward.
Hava nods, "I see. My mother was never around in fact she gave me up the minute after I was born."
"I'm sorry," Emrys says.
Hava shrugs, "I'm more of a daddy's girl anyway, so don't be. My father is all I need."
"I feel the same about my grandfather," Emrys responds and then says, "It's getting close to curfew time, we better get to our rooms, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it from Fairy Godmother."
Hava nods, "Yeah I have to say you're right about that. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
Emrys gave another boyish charming smile, "See you tomorrow. Night, love." He then walked away.
Hava frowned with her red eyes narrowing at what Emrys said. He called her love twice, even though they're not dating. I told him my father said no dating. Oh well he'll only be here until after the coronation and then that'll be it with him. But I have to have to admit, he is kind of charming, far more charming than anyone else here. Hava shook her head, even if that was true, she would never date anyone unless her father approved of them. Hava then made her way back to her dorm.
I also wasn't sure if Sherwood Forest, Camelot or Wonderland would be better in the song.
