Meg~
I was, pulling Gustave along. He squirms,but I held him in a vise-like grip.
"Please, Miss Giry...I want to go back...I want my mother...." Gustav sang
"The world is hard, the world is mean,it's hard to keep your conscience clean..." I sang in a cracked, hurt voice
"Please... You're hurting me." Gustave said still struggling as I walked along the pier
"The sea is calm, the sea is gray,it washes everything away..." I sang ignoring him
I brought him to the very edge of the pier. Dark water churns below.
"I can't swim..." Gustave said scared
"Don't worry, it's almost over..." I said to him. "Sink into the deep...Blue and cool and kind...Then drift off to sleep...Let the past unwind - -Leave the hurt behind..." I sang
"Gustave!" I heard Christine call to him
Erik, Angelique, Victor, Christine, Angelique and Erik's children, and Mother have arrived. At the sound of his mother's voice, Gustave looks up.
"Mother..?" Gustave smiled
"No, I'm not done yet...
Victor waves the others back, and he strides purposefully toward me.
"Let go of the boy, now!" Victor said to me as the plan went into action
He moves closer and closer. Then, I pulled out the gun and points it at Victor. The child wriggles in my grasp
"Not another step!" I sang pointing the gun at Gustave
Victor stops.
"Let go of him, girl, or I promise you - -" Victor said
I wheeled on him, gun pointed. "Not another word!" I sang as Victor takes a step back.
"Always wondered how To make you watch - -Well watch me now!" I sang. "I took a little trip to Coney Island.I took a little trip, because of you.I did as mother said,and followed where you led and tried to do what little I could do.Well here's the way it works on Coney Island - -They make you pay for every little crumb.I gave what they would take,I gave it for your sake,now look at me and see what I'vie become. Bathing beauty,on the beach...Bathing beauty,in her dressing room...Bathing beauty,In the dark,on their laps,In their beds - -" I sang self loathing abit
Meg, Meg my dear sister–" Angelique said in horror
"What are you saying?" Victor asked me
"Who helped you raise the money?Who helped the permits come through?Who greased the wheels of your high-flying deals,bought you time when the bills came due?Who swayed the local bosses?Curried favor with the press?" I sang pointing my gun at Angelique. "No, not her! I sang. "And who kept singing,desp'rate for your favor?Who kept dancing,hoping you would save her?Who kept dying,and this is what you gave her!" I sang Gestures with the gun as Gustave got out of my grasp and ran to Christine. "Now that I've got your attention at last...Here's the big finnish, and then you can go..." I point the gun at my own head tears streaming down my face.
"MEG NO!" Angelique said as Erik held her back. "Victor do something please." she begged Victor tears rolling down her face.
"Give me the gun, Meg...Give me the hurt and the pain and the gun, Meg...Give me the blame for not seeing the things that you'vie done, Meg...Give me the gun, Meg...Give me the chance to see you clear at last..." Victor sang to me
