Can you hear it? The sounds of the crowd cheering?

"Murphy! Murphy! Murphy!"

They're cheering for Murphy. Not for you, but for that lying bastard.

"Murphy! Murphy! Murphy!"

He lied to you. He betrayed you. He made you believe that he's not like the others. That he's different from everyone else who knows who you are.

"We love you, Murphy! You're amazing!"

He betrayed you..... and now he's getting all the credit for something that was beyond his control. Your kidnapping. He kidnapped you and placed you on this cross as a trophy, a reminder that he's won. You're no longer a free person. You're a prisoner.

It's time to wake up, Naya, and see what's become of you. It's time for you to accept who you are. You're The Cheshire, the mass murderer and psychotic maniac of the apocalypse that everyone fears and hates. Everyone wants you dead. And you just ignore them and continue to live your life as if they didn't exist.

You can't just ignore me for the rest of your miserable and depressing life. I'll take control eventually, and when I do, you're going to regret it so much you'll want to die. And you probably will, because they're going to kill you.

The people you thought were your friends. The people you thought were on your side. The people who you thought would always be there for you. They're going to be your undoing. They're going to be the reason that you take your last breath.

They're going to kill you. And it's going to be your fault. So do as I say and wake up. Wake up and face the world.

Wake up.

Light. That's all that could be seen. A bright blinding light.

It hurts.... why do I have to wake up?

So you can see what that bastard did to you. What he put you up too. Now. Do as I say and open your damn eyes!

I-It hurts..... I can't-

You can and you will! Either you open your eyes or I'll do it for you, and you won't like how I do it.

Reluctantly, Naya cracks open her eyes and hisses and the light that burns her tired orbs. The more she forces them open, the more the light burns.

She doesn't want to go on. She can't. It hurts too much. Why can't she just keep her eyes closed, that way she doesn't have to face the life. She won't have to see what Murphy did to her, she can "live" wherever the hell she is and forget about everything.

Everything that's ever hurt her, she won't have to face then anymore.

But she knows that if she lets Cheshire have her way, it'll be hell for both her and everyone else. And she doesn't want that. Cheshire's already caused enough damage to this world, she doesn't need to add in anymore.

================================================================================================

10k could only stare in disbelief at the scene unfolding in front of him. Murphy has Cheshire tied to a cross by her wrists and ankles, her head hanging low and dry blood staining her light colored clothes.

Why? Why did Murphy do this to her?! Weren't they on the same side?!

"Naya...." He mutters and tries to take a step toward her, but his feet are glued to the cracked pavement. "Naya...."
