Songfic: Enjoy the Silence

Enjoy the silence

The light green and dark brown jewels sparkle as they rest across your body, dropping over your arms and tightly wrapping around each thigh. You wear tight, black leather with a collar that curls around your neck. Your hair is soothed to your scalp and you are ready to perform and corrupt. 

The leather hugs your skin, and beyond your battle-ready eyes, you hold a slight discomfort. You've always loved flowy dresses and slippers for shoes. But you are only allowed to wear leather, with the jewels of your house and the gloves for your cold fingers. 

Words like violence

You pull your gloves on tight, strapping them to your wrist before stepping out in front of the crowd of silvers ready to see your preform. The air is different in the spiral garden. It feels emptier like you are the only person there. You let your eyes scan the walls around you and the electric fence that keeps you from the people you've known for your entire life. You feel like an animal in a cage, being admired for its beauty rather than why it's in the cage in the first place.

You open your mouth, screaming as the walls vibrate and the glass panels shatter all around you. You hold out your hands, aiming your screams at mannequins and letting them scream back as they get torn to shreds.

You have fun with what you do as you feel the vibrations your screams leave behind. It amuses you to watch all of the people and their shocked expressions. It fills you with something you don't think anyone else could experience. 

You smile wide before taking your leave, smiling to the Merandus who accompanies you wherever you go. 

Did you have fun? The blonde girl whispers into your head. You smile, nodding your head.

Surprisingly, yes, you answer back. 

A girl puts a hand on your shoulder, making you turn your head around.

"I love you," Evangeline signs to you before pulling you into a tight hug.

Come crashing in

You sit with the other girls of the Queenstrial as you have your Merandus girl next to you, whispering to you everything Tiberias says. You were born deaf, which you consider something to your advantage considering the presence of banshees around you. Your siblings could even consider you lucky. 

But outside of the House of Marinos, you require a Merandus girl to accompany you everywhere you go. It is the most annoying thing you could ever experience.

And you see Maven sitting up there next to his brother, which makes you smirk slightly. You look at his dashing blue eyes, and suddenly, he looks at you.

And somehow it makes you blush.

Into my little world

Suddenly, the Merandus girl smiles. She giggles into her hand before fixing her posture nearly immediately. Out of respect, you hope. Her whispers drown out your original flusters as Maven starts speaking. 

The Merandus girl stops short of her interpretations as Maven looks at you, holding out his hand. You look at her, suddenly concerned and on edge. Why was he looking at you? 

You're going to marry the prince. You're going to be the princess and the girl who taught you how to read lips is going to be the queen.

You look, face calm but heart racing, at the prince. And slowly you stand up with your Merandus girl, who looks more astonished than you are. You don't know if the girls are clapping for you. You don't know if there is silence as they begin to loathe you if they don't already.
