The camera starts rolling and it's in the same place as last time. Showing the floor with Phoenix standing in the middle.
"This time my song goes with what I'm doing. It's about myself." she laughed then opened the briefcase that was lying at her feet. She pulled a needle out with glowing gold liquid in it. Then she stabbed it into her arm and with a shaky voice began to sing.
"The devil doesn't bargain" she winced as she pushed the liquid in to her arm. Glowing gold vines crawled up her arm, pulsing. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"It's useless, don't do this
It's hubris to try
She's ruthless, you knew this I told you, didn't I?
She's abusive, elusive
The truth is, she lies
I know you don't want to let go" She threw her head back then forward again with more tears running down her face.
"And just like before
I can see that you're sure
You can change it but I know you won't" she took a deep breath.
"The devil doesn't bargain
She'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
She's never gonna change
She'll never be all powerful
She'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain" She pulled out the needle and put it back in the case. Then she took out another this time with clear liquid and stabbed it in the same spot. She winced. The vines grew stronger and more pronounced.
"I'm not one to lecture
Talk down to a friend
I don't mean to pressure
Mean to condescend
But I just want what's best for You in the end
know you don't want to let go" She took out the second needle and put it away. Then she grabbed a bigger needle out with the darkest liquid in it and plunged it into her other arm. Dark Vines made their way up her arm and blood spewed out of where the needle was. She cried out and sobbed before continuing singing tears rolling down her face.
"And I know you think
She'll change this time
But I think that you will find
The devil doesn't bargain
She'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
She's never gonna change
She'll will be the most powerful
She'll only save you from all of them
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain" She ended with a menacing tone. She pulled the needle out and dropped it on the floor. She fell to her hands and knees screaming as vines of black and gold crawled up her face. The vines grew and built themselves into big black wings on her back. They flapped and wiggled as the pain stated to subside. Then with a new power in her eyes she stood up.
"Let's try these babies out, shall we?" Then she flapped her wings and flew around the room. Then she flew out the window and back threw the window on the other side.
"Wow!" She yelled then turned off the camera.
