I wanted to write something that was based on the Underworld song Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love, one of my favorite songs. You can listen to it here watch?v=0oYoRg6Ws9U

It's the same spot Amelie finds herself in every time

When a Talon mission ends

All alone in her Chateau in the lake

Unable to join the masses on the shore

They already feared her family

Ruling them from a lake

Why would they accept a blue woman

Every time she's called on a mission

It's the only excitement she gets anymore

Getting herself propped up on paper wings

Freedom calls to her but she can't move toward it

All she can do is look

Look out the window

Look out the passages to the lake

Look at the pictures of her former life

Not 10 hours earlier she was just on a mission

Feeling alive the only way she knows how anymore

Sneaking in the darkness

Breaking out only to kill

Each time, something screams in her head

This isn't her

None of these deserve to die

She hears but does not obey

She only obeys her orders

However much her sanity tells her not to

One headshot after another

The false sense of happiness fills every time

And empties every time

She regains herself, finding she is back in her castle

Where she always ends up

A look out over the lake

At all the safe people

All their happy sounds

All the birds flying

All the fish swimming

The eerie silence leaves her thoughts screaming

The barbed wire in her head prevents her escape

The water on the shore will burn her up

Here she stays until the paper wings are propped up again
