Tina's POV

    When I awaken from a nightmare, wailing like a child, feeling foolish even though I still am one, Cheyenne rushes into my hotel room. I realize that killing her isn't going to be quite as easy as I hoped when she sings to me, trying to be of comfort.

    "I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when music's gone

Gone

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

La La (La La)

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La (La La)

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh."

   Jillian came in nearly halfway through and sang back up for Cheyenne. The action almost makes me want to consider forgiving her . . . But I think about how she ran away to fight unneccesarily in a war when she could have been here for her family. Auntie Lilith told me about how I was an accident. All because Jillian is so irresponsible. She never learns.
