Chapter 974

I Am At Your Side

Cammy went off on her own. She was still angry at Cameron. She experienced all the emotions and feelings Cameron experienced. She thought Sheila, Ally, and Hanna all actually experienced more. The 'Neural Interface' Cameron perfected allowed them to be more 'human'. It may also have provided them with the added benefit to be able to deal with their feelings and emotions better. Even if their feelings and emotions were greater, they could deal with them at a superior level.

Maybe she shouldn't have left in such a huff. She knew it was going to bother Savannah the way she did it. It wasn't her intent. Her animosity was directed at Cameron.

Anna was very advanced. It may be more so than any of the other Terminators. Savannah made a point of using the 'Neural Interface' with Anna as often as possible. Cammy knew Savannah was trying to create a cyborg version of herself. She thought it was ironic as Cameron was trying to create the human version of herself with Savannah and Young Allison. They were each trying to create what the other one was. Maybe at times they wished they could be each other. It was all very complicated.

Cammy was surprised as someone grabbed her at the same time her phone rang. She spun around. A 'homeless looking' female tried to pull her off to the side. The phone message warned her to 'look out'. The message warned her someone was about to ambush her. She was instructed to turn her com back on immediately. She previously turned off her com so she didn't have to hear Cameron and Savannah talk. Maybe all of it was a mistake at this point. It was Cameron's fault.

At first Cammy thought it was some type of an attack but instantly realized the 'homeless looking' female was trying to warn of danger. The 'homeless looking' female seemed to endanger herself to do it too. She looked terrified. She was aware many of the homeless individuals suffered from various forms of mental illness. This could be someone afflicted with one of them.

Cammy broke free and looked around her. She lost track of where she was. She was in a dingy looking alley. She was unsure of her current location. She quickly realized it was Cameron's fault as well. Everything wrong with her was Cameron's fault.

The 'homeless looking' female looked desperate.

"Quickly, come in here." The 'homeless looking' female said. "They're going to see you."

Cammy was ready to draw her weapon. She didn't spot any threat yet. Based upon the way the 'homeless looking' female looked and acted, she was very concerned. There must be a threat she was unable to identify yet. Because she wasn't at one hundred percent, it was Cameron's fault as well. She needed to know where the threat was. She was ready to engage them as soon as she knew where they were. Someone needed to pay for the way she felt right now and the danger she was put in. It was Cameron's fault.

"Who will see me?" Cammy asked. "Where are they?"

Cammy continued to look around her in all directions. She wondered if some of the Grays were out. Maybe there was a Terminator. She must have gotten careless and they spotted her. It was Cameron's fault. It was all Cameron's fault.

The look of fear on the 'homeless looking' female's face was unmistakable. It was clear she was terrified.

"The Ogre will see you." The 'homeless looking' female said. "I saw him earlier down the alley. He abused me several times. You're beautiful. He will surely abuse you. He does it to all the females."

Cammy looked in the direction the terrified 'homeless looking' female indicated. It seemed like something she should look into at this point. She was just given the description of what would be a future Scavenger. For all practical purposes, they were a Scavenger in this time line already. It might be one of the Grays. She also needed to consider the possibility it could be a Terminator. Based on the fact the 'homeless looking' female was previously abused by him, she didn't think it was. It was still a possibility. It was something a male Terminator would be able to do. She didn't think she would be abused.

"I doubt it." Cammy said. "I will tremi… - defend myself."

Cammy moved the 'homeless looking' female back into her place of concealment.

The 'homeless looking' female didn't think Cammy understood the severity of the situation. She repeated and elaborated on her earlier statement.

"He will." The 'homeless looking' female said. "He does it to all the women and a few of the younger men too. I've heard it. I've seen it. I've experienced it."

It was clear to Cammy the 'homeless looking' female was reliving those events in her mind. She looked very terrified.

Cammy checked her surroundings with a detailed scan. She didn't like the nature of the threat indicated. Nothing was detected. She turned her attention back to the 'homeless looking' female.

"Is this where you live?" Cammy asked.

The 'homeless looking' female appeared to be terrified of her surroundings. She looked off into the distance down the alley.

"No. I live by the old supermarket." The 'homeless looking' female said. "There's food now in the trash to eat there. I can get a good meal in every now and then. The building is occupied again."

Cammy quickly understood the significance of the 'homeless looking' female's' revelation. It sounded like further investigation would be needed. They may get a break on some intel. She turned her attention back to the 'homeless looking' female.

"Why are you here?" Cammy asked.

The 'homeless looking' female looked a little embarrassed.

"I wanted to go by the park and use the restroom to clean up a little." The 'homeless looking' female said. "I spotted the Ogre on the way back and hid here. I didn't want to get abused again. He does it every time he can catch me. It happened earlier. It's why I wanted to get cleaned up at the park. When I spotted you, I didn't want you to get hurt. He is very violent at first. He threatened to cut off my ear before. It wasn't the only part of my body he's held a knife to. He's very violent. It seems to excite him as much as the other things he does. There's clearly something wrong with him in the head."

Cammy heard more than enough about the future Scavenger. As far as she was concerned his fate was already sealed. She wanted to find him so she could administer justice. She felt the 'homeless looking' female and the other homeless people could use a break. She intended to give them one, literally. She would bust up the bully before he was Terminated.

She encountered his type before. They looked very surprised when a 'young looking female' overpowered them and started to break bones. Selected blows to the back, chest, and abdomen area could rupture internal organs causing massive pain with uncontrolled internal and bleeding. They didn't look so tough when they withered around on the ground in agony. A few good kicks would break more bones.

For whatever reason she was sure she ran into more than a few encounters in the past on her temporal mission. Sheila was with her on some of them. She didn't think they were all Syndicate thugs either. It seemed there were always a lot of violent individuals regardless of the time period.

Cammy wanted to take care of business and get things straightened out. She wanted the abuse of the 'homeless looking' female to come to an end.

"Thanks." Cammy said. "You stay here and I'll go down and have a 'conversation' with the Ogre. He shouldn't be a problem for anyone afterwards."

The look of abject terror was back on the 'homeless looking' female's face. She looked at Cammy and tried to plead with her. She knew with absolute certitude what was going to happen to Cammy if she went down by where the Ogre was at. She wanted to make her understand before anything bad happened to her.

"You don't understand. He'll take you." The 'homeless looking' female said with concern. "He is very strong. He will abuse you everywhere. There are others with him, they will too. They all will. It's happened to me multiple times. They jumped me earlier today, all three of them. They told me they would cut off my ear if I didn't do what they told me to."

The 'homeless looking' female reached up and touched her left ear. There was some blood on her fingers when she brought her hand back down to look at it.

Cammy reached up to take a look. She could see there was a cut at the top of her ear where it joined onto her head. It did look like someone threatened her with disfigurement. She would definitely need to have a 'talk' with the Ogre.

There was the sound of running feet in the alley. Maybe she wouldn't have to go look for the Ogre. He might be about to attack her. He was in for a surprise.

Cammy moved out to confront the threat.

It was Savannah and Cameron. They came to help her.

There was a look of extreme worry and fear on Savannah's face.

"Are you OK, Cammy?" Savannah asked.

Savannah was very concerned about Cammy.

Cammy checked the surrounding area again and the direction where the Ogre was at.

"I'm fine." Cammy said. "There's going to be a few individuals who won't be very soon."

Cammy quickly explained the story and said the woman lived by the old supermarket. They needed to question her further for intel. She may be able to provide them with the strength of the Grays. She might have some better insight as to what was actually inside of the old supermarket. She regularly went through their trash for food. She would see what else was in there when she did.

There was something which troubled Cameron. She heard it on the way up. They heard much of the conversation between Cammy and the 'homeless looking' female. Some of the 'homeless looking' female's transmission was garbled.

"What did I hear about someone being abused?" Cameron asked.

The 'homeless looking' female told the story. Cameron was disgusted by it. It would take some immediate corrective action. She heard enough to know the Ogre was a Scavenger by any other name. His fate was sealed as far as she was concerned. She planned to deal with him personally.

"Cammy, you and Savannah take this nice lady away from here and see if you can get some more information out of her. This isn't the proper setting for it." Cameron said. "She will feel much less threatened away from here. I think she would enjoy a nice meal to share with Savannah. I'm going to have a 'talk' with the Ogre."

The 'homeless looking' female was very worried for Cameron.

"He'll take you." The 'homeless looking' female said as Cammy and Savannah led her away. "You can't leave your sister there. We need to bring her back. He will hurt her and scar her. He's bound to do something to her to mar her beauty. He's very mean."

Cammy couldn't really explain to the 'homeless looking' female a street punk was no match for a Terminator.

"She's dealt with his type before." Cammy said. "She can take care of herself. I wouldn't worry about him anymore if I were you. He's never going to lay a hand on you again. You said there were others with him. They'll never touch anyone else either."

Savannah started to calm the 'homeless looking' female as best as she could. She reassured her everything was under control and they could get her some food and clean water.

She dealt with homeless individuals previously. She knew to keep her distance and avoid physical contact. She was also aware many of them suffered from mental illness and could snap at any point in time. Cameron needed to terminate more than one of the individuals they tried to help previously. She hoped she would be able to help the 'homeless looking' female. She looked like a good person caught up in a bad situation. It wouldn't be the first one she encountered. Sadly, she knew it wouldn't be the last one either.

Earlier:

John watched Cammy on and off as he looked at the other events going down. He looked back at the monitor with Cammy and saw there was a problem, a big problem. There was a person who moved out from the back of a building and was headed towards Cammy. He didn't see a visible weapon. It didn't mean they weren't armed.

"Look. Someone is moving to grab Cammy." John said.

John Henry already attempted to contact Cammy through her com. She didn't respond. He tried her phone next. He sent out an immediate alert. He wasn't the only one who acted.

"CamNet has dropped the altitude of a drone." John Henry said. "It's preparing for combat."

John knew a bad idea when he heard it. It was still too early in the day for a drone attack.

"It's daylight and in the city." John said. "I want you to issue a recall."

John Henry was able to issue a temporary halt to the drone attack. He also called for reinforcements on the ground.

"I've alerted the other Metal girls. They've already begun to take action." John Henry said. "The drone is holding at fifteen thousand feet. The 'gun' is hot and the drone is ready to drop down into firing range. I don't know how much longer I can hold it at the higher altitude."

John shook his head in disgust. A drone attack in the city during daylight isn't something he would condone unless it was under extreme circumstances.

"Beautiful." John said. "This always happens somehow."

John understood there was a threat, but he didn't want to lose sight of the overall picture. They were there to deal with Skynet related activity. He didn't need homeless people or street punks to get in the way.

Earlier:

Anna looked at her phone as Young Allison changed.

CamNet alerted her to the impending threat.

"There's been trouble detected." Anna said.

Young Allison picked up her phone. She was only half dressed. She saw the threat for what it was. Cammy was completely exposed and moving down an alley. There was someone waiting to attack her just ahead of her.

"CamNet, alert everyone." Young Allison said. "I want you to assist Cammy, immediately."

Anna knew the only way CamNet could assist them directly was with a drone strike. She wanted Young Allison to reconsider her last command.

"We need to see what the threat is first." Anna said. "It may not be Skynet related. We don't want to tip our hand too early."

Young Allison could see Cammy seemed oblivious to her surroundings.

"The threat is, Cammy is in danger." Young Allison said. "Why wasn't she paying attention?"

Anna quickly updated Young Allison with what was about to happen.

"The Metal girls are responding." Anna said. "A drone is descending to initiate a gun attack at close range. Cammy is too close for a missile strike.

Young Allison didn't want the missile option used yet. It was still daylight. She didn't want events to get away from her. Depending upon what developed, she would use it anyway if it became necessary.

"Hold the drone for now." Young Allison said. "Keep the 'gun' hot and be ready to drop into effective gun range. Bring the other drone in closer. If this is an attack on our troops we will respond with overwhelming force."

Anna knew Young Allison was stepping on a lot of toes right now.

"We should go through John and John Henry." Anna said. "It's their operation."

The protection of the troops came before hurt feelings to Young Allison. She hadn't seen anyone else move to protect Cammy. They heard most of the conversation between Cammy and the 'homeless looking' female.

"Is the immediate threat over?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron and Savannah arrived at the scene where Cammy was at.

"Yes." Anna said.

They watched as Cammy and Savannah lead the 'homeless looking' female away.

Young Allison didn't want to step on anyone's toes or hurt anyone's feelings. She also wasn't going to sit around and do nothing.

"Turn control back over to John Henry." Young Allison said. "I did what looked like was necessary to protect Cammy. Things could have played out differently if it was a Gray, a Terminator, someone from the anti-Metal group, or a Fanatic with a bomb."

Anna looked over at Young Allison's topless figure.

"Finish dressing and we'll go to the bunker." Anna said.

Young Allison looked down at herself. She didn't see what the big deal was.

"What's there to see?" Young Allison asked. "I look like Allison and Cameron. Everyone has seen them plenty of times, including you. There's no one else here besides us. It shouldn't be a problem based upon the circumstances."

Anna felt Young Allison should show a little more tact. She thought she looked like a version of Cameron at this point in time. She was more concerned about her own appearance. She wanted to look exactly like Savannah again.

"I know what you mean." Anna said. "I really do."

After seeing Young Allison again, Anna wasn't about to regress her sheath any more with her Resequencing procedure, enough was enough. She decided to add a year back onto her sheath's appearance. She initiated the process immediately. It was a direct violation of Cameron's previous directive to her. Right now, she didn't care. She would mention it to Young Allison later on as part of some other conversation to get her approval to do it. If it turned into a problem with Cameron later on, she would be covered.

John was aware CamNet, and most likely Young Allison, intended to hit hard if there was a problem and Cammy would have come under attack. He could almost picture a drone headed down the alley blasting away at anything and anyone who wasn't Cammy, or one of the Resistance team, with its minigun. He didn't disagree with the response if their troops were in danger. He only disagreed with the time of the day it was. If there would have actually been an attack by the Skynet forces against their troops, he would have let the drone action stand and happen.

John sent Ally and Sheila to assist Cameron. They were actually already on their way.

The Metal girls were alerted as to the nature of the threat. They dealt with similar circumstances many times before. There was always someone who needed to be re-educated about the facts of life. The bullies usually turned into sissies as soon as they were challenged and started to experience a little pain, and maybe a few broken bones.

"Finally, we get some action." Sheila said. "It's my favorite kind too. I'm going to get to make some new friends. Too bad our acquaintance will be brief."

Ally looked over at Sheila. She could see Sheila was extremely excited about rendering 'justice' to a future Scavenger. In this case, the future Scavenger appeared to need 'justice' delivered immediately.

"It's nothing we don't already do a few times a week." Ally said. "Normally you don't get to get off so early in the day on this type of operation. Don't tell me you won't when you start in on them. I know it turns you on."

Ally would normally tell Sheila it was why she belonged in a mental institution. Violence seemed to excite and stimulate her as much as sexual things. She really thought Sheila enjoyed it a little too much. She did have to agree some of the people deserved it for their past actions. Until they knew more she would hold her tongue.

Sheila and Ally hurried down from the far end of the alley.

"I miss this." Sheila said.

John listened to the Metal girl's conversation as they neared the target area.

"Stay alert." John said. "Don't get target fixation. The Homeless looking female indicated there was a group of them. She identified there were at least three perpetrators. There could be more."

Ally wanted to assure John everything was under control.

"Sheila likes to take care of most of this herself." Ally said. "She's quite proficient at it, even if she's a little over dramatic about it."

Sheila only needed to review the files from Jesse and the things done to her to find the motivation and the appropriate response to do to the perpetrators. She knew what they liked, so she knew how to hurt them where it hurt the most.

The fact it was Cammy who was threatened made it personal to her. No one puts one of her girls in a corner.

Ally glanced over and could see Sheila looked a little more serious than usual. She figured it was because Cammy was directly threatened. It made her wonder if Sheila would show the same level of concern for her under similar circumstances. In other words, did Sheila care more about Cammy, or more about her? She didn't think now was the time to ask the question. She wasn't really sure if she would like the answer if she heard it.

Sheila might even try to mess with her and say she would restrain her so the perpetrators could work on her. Maybe she would remind her she belonged in a mental institution sooner than she thought.

The other Metal girls were all on alert. The SUVs were all started and they were ready to roll. Everyone did a weapons check. They still didn't know what they dealt with for sure.

Cammy called for Cam to come and pick up the 'homeless looking' female.

Savannah found out her name was Susan.

Cam was to drive over and pick Susan up along with Savannah. Cammy was to return to the alley to back Cameron up on Savannah's insistence.

Savannah was with Susan. As soon as she saw Cam's SUV, she told Cammy to go help Cameron. She didn't believe Susan was a threat to her. The other Metal girls would be there in seconds anyway. Her Taser was 'hot' behind her back and ready to go, just in case.

"Go, Cammy." Savannah said. "I see Cam coming now. I have this."

Cammy looked at Savannah for a second. She saw her hand on her Taser behind her. She spotted Cam's approaching SUV. She took off at a run back towards where Cameron was last at.

Susan was amazed at how quickly Cammy could run.

"Wow! She can run really fast." Susan said as she watched Cammy go. "If I could have run as fast, the Ogre wouldn't have been able to abuse me so many times. I don't know why he needed to hurt me and beat me. I always did what they wanted. They still hurt me anyway."

Savannah didn't like to hear Susan's revelation. She wanted to see the Ogre punished. She wanted to redirect Susan's attention. She didn't need to see any more than was necessary.

"She works out. Don't worry about it." Savannah said. "We're going to get you out of here to a safer place."

Cam pulled up with the SUV and stopped next to Savannah.

Savannah went over all the details real quick with Cam.

"This is Susan. Find out what you can about what happens around this location and get her to the shelter. She knows about the individuals in the old supermarket." Savannah said. "Get her some healthy food too. I promised her a decent meal. I want her treated with dignity and respect."

Gail got out of the SUV. She knew what Savannah wanted. She was there to back Savannah up.

Savannah looked at Gail and nodded.

"Let's go." Savannah said.

Gail ran alongside of Savannah as they followed Cammy. Cammy pulled away from them. Gail stayed with Savannah. They hurried as fast as Savannah could go. Gail didn't rush her.

Cam wanted to protest but Savannah was already gone.

Susan looked Cam over. She was a little confused.

"Did you change?" Susan asked Cam.

Cam tilted her head slightly. She quickly deduced what the question actually meant.

It was clear Susan thought Cam was Cameron.

"It's hot out." Cam said.

Cam hoped it was a good enough explanation as she didn't have a better one to offer. She couldn't exactly explain to Susan she was a cybernetic organism, and Cammy and her were clones of Cameron. Cameron was a very scary robot from the future, and by extension so were Cammy and her. She turned and drove away.

Susan turned back to look in the direction where the girls ran. She was sure all of them were going to be abused.

"Your sister and friends are in danger." Susan said. "The Ogre and his crew are very violent."

Susan reached up and touched the top of her ear again. There was almost no blood this time. The wound wasn't too deep. She didn't like what they said they were going to do to her if she didn't perform the way they wanted. It was just the start of the most recent abuse before things escalated. She needed to provide them with everything.

Cam didn't believe with five Terminators and Savannah in the alley, the Ogre and his crew would present much of a problem.

"They have it covered. Let's get you something to eat while we talk." Cam said. "Tell me about the old supermarket…."

Susan looked back at the area they just left one more time. She was still worried about the girls who were left there. She began to answer Cam's questions.

Vanna arrived with Allison in the nursery. It's what the new room on the east side of Riley's room was now known as.

There was a knock at the connecting door

It opened and Samantha walked in.

"Hi." Samantha said. "Precious needs you."

Vanna could see Samantha scanned her breasts. She reassured her she was good to go.

"I have plenty." Vanna said.

Samantha wanted to explain herself.

"I'm sorry." Samantha said. "I need to look out for Precious. It's my primary function on my new assignment."

Riley entered the room, she carried Precious. She looked down at her breasts.

"Thanks, Vanna." Riley said. "I seem to have less and less. I just don't understand it. I really don't. You don't know how it makes me feel. Thank you for helping Precious and me."

Samantha wanted to keep everything under control. She wanted to give Riley some positive reassurance.

"You're experiencing high stress levels." Samantha said. "You're performing admirably. Everyone is here to assist you as necessary. There's nothing to worry about. Please remain calm."

Riley actually felt a little less stressed out with Samantha's calming words.

"Thanks." Riley said. "I'm really trying."

Riley handed Precious to Vanna who already opened her top.

Riley and Samantha were both standing there.

Vanna wanted Riley to take it easy for a few minutes. She wanted her to unwind.

"I have this." Vanna said. "Go relax for a few minutes. Try to do something else to take your mind off of things for a while. I think it will help. It helps me when I have problems."

Riley wanted to explain herself. She didn't want to seem like a 'Peeping Tom'.

"I was going to change her when she needed it." Riley said.

Vanna thought Riley still looked a little 'high strung'.

"I have it, Riley." Vanna said. "I'll take care of her. Go sit down for a while."

Riley looked concerned and nervous.

Samantha didn't want Riley to get stuck on the wrong path. She wanted to offer her a few suggestions. She wanted to take Vanna's advice.

"We can work on something else for a little bit." Samantha said. "Come on, Riley. Vanna doesn't need someone looking over her shoulder, or elsewhere, for the next part."

Riley looked a little nervously at Precious. She tried to think what else she could do.

"Maybe I'll start dinner." Riley said.

Samantha smiled at Riley.

"I'll assist you." Samantha said. "I can help you make something good."

Riley looked at Vanna and Samantha with sincerity.

"Thank you." Riley said. "All of you."

Vanna and Samantha smiled at her.

Riley and Samantha left the Nursery.

Allison joined Vanna at her side. She looked in the direction Riley and Samantha went. She was more than a little concerned about Riley's mental health.

"I think Riley is going to have a nervous breakdown." Allison whispered. "I think Samantha can put the brakes on, I'm not sure if she can stop it."

Vanna looked at the door Riley and Samantha just exited through. She frowned slightly.

"I know it was common in the past, the future. I hope you're not correct." Vanna whispered. "It's what Samantha is for, to prevent it."

Allison thought it was a little more than just about Riley. She thought it was even more of a serious nature.

"I think Samantha is here to protect Precious." Allison whispered.

Vanna was more than a little worried about the same thing. She wondered if she should take Precious away from Riley for a while. It might set her off and drive her over the edge if she did. She thought they needed professional advice.

"I get the same feeling also." Vanna whispered. "Derek is helping her too. She may need deeper assistance."

Allison felt everything was under control where they were.

"We need to pay better attention to everything." Allison said.

Vanna sat in the lounge chair and nursed Precious.

"I think we need to speak with Cameron about what we fear." Vanna said.

Allison felt nervous as she thought about herself with an infant in the future. She was sure she would be in worse condition than Riley was right now. If she was on her own, she was sure she would have cracked by now. She needed to give Riley credit for holding it all together. She looked at her longtime lover. It gave her strength and reassurance. She still wanted to address her potential shortcoming.

"You look so natural doing everything, Vanna." Allison said. "I'm probably going to be a nervous wreck like Riley."

Vanna didn't believe it for a second. She believed Allison would step up to the challenge and meet it. She believed Riley would be able to do it as well. It just might take her a little longer.

"You'll do fine." Vanna said. "Riley will too. She has reinforcements now."

Allison hoped she would. She wondered if the other 'Allisons' experienced the same fears she did. At least two of them were taking care of babies, maybe three by now.

With the ability to time travel, they could visit them at any time. There was always the risk of a temporal error. They already experienced the one where they were out of the timeline for fifteen months. It was only a short time for them. The risk prevented them from taking 'day trips'.

Allison knew there was a version of Savannah or Vanna with the other versions of her, the other 'Allisons'. It probably helped them out a lot. There was a Duplicate version of Cameron with two of them. There were clones of Cameron with the other one 'in some future'. Mrs. Weaver was with them. It wouldn't be a problem to procure anything they would need.

Vanna looked over at Allison and was a little worried about her.

"Your hands are shaking." Vanna said. "Are you alright?"

Allison looked at her hands and wondered if this was where Cameron got her glitch from. Her hands were shaking. In fact her whole body was to some degree.

"I think I was a little nervous or worried." Allison said.

Vanna held Precious firmly as she nursed. She reached out with her other hand and gently touched Allison.

"Don't be." Vanna said. "I'm at your side."

Allison looked at Vanna and knew she always would be too, even if they both shared a little extra. They would still always have each other.

Life was good in Paradise.

Allison looked at Precious. She hoped nothing changed it. Her hands continued to shake.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

I Am At Your Side

Few are willing to lead
Most want to have a free ride
They're more than willing to go
Wherever they're taken by the tide

They don't stand for anything
Through life they cower and hide
They are seldom honest
They act rather snide

Some don't often give praise
It's much easier to chide
Instead of support to unite
They would rather divide

Then there are those
Who will help and guide
They are willing to share
They assist and provide

One need not swallow their pride
When they choose and decide
In their heart who will reside
Seek no more, I am at your side

Nobody
