Soifon's body writhed in pain as she dangled from her chains, blood pooling in her mouth. Hours had elapsed since Ace and Jack had mercilessly assaulted her and left her suspended like a decorative fixture, promising their return within a few hours.
The raven-haired woman's gaze wavered towards the cold, hard ground as her sapphire eyes glazed over, her breaths becoming shallow. The frigid air emanating from the room sent shivers coursing through her frail body.
"I wonder what the hour might be," Soifon barely whispered, fixated on the ground as it offered her solace - the only option she had. Devoid of strength to battle against her restraints, she uttered softly, "Please, Erin, hasten your arrival." Her gaze shifted upwards towards the ceiling, dread looming in her mind about Ace's ominous intentions upon his impending return.
Soifon emitted subtle hums as she endeavored to divert her attention from her thoughts. Her customary methods for achieving this were either through singing or drawing, yet she found herself limited to only one option: singing. Unfortunately, a cough suddenly emanated from her throat, causing her complexion to grow paler.
Upon the cessation of the coughs, Soifon proceeded to softly sing in order for Ace and the others to be able to hear her.
" There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
It can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
