Capítulo 21: Musical
Let it go, let it go? The words echoed in Daydream's mind as she looked around the waterfall. It sounded foreign to her like waterfall she stood on. Her heavy heart roared with the water rolling near her. Tiredness took hold of her; tired of empty promises, of lies, of pain, and mostly being alone. She could sleep every now and then and when she did, her dreams flooded with Daniel. His voice echoed in the darkness calling to her and begging her to find him. They would arrive shortly after, the men who killed her. The leaders rough lips would find hers and sharp pains would fill her body. Then her whole body would be forced under the water, gasping for air she would claw at anything and then wake up. Same dream every time. She looked down only to see her tears formed a small stream flowing into the waterfall, she walked to the fall and looked over. Her feet sunk in the cool water and then she heard a strange buzzing sound. Tragedy had found a battery powered radio and started to turn it on. A man's voice echoed over the falls, "That was Strength to Survive by SOJA! Let's stick to our empowering night with Lifehouse, this is Storm!" Once on her travels Daydream had heard that song, it reminded her of her situation perfectly.
"How long have I been in this storm? So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form. Water's getting harder to tread, With these waves crashing over my head"
The water swayed with her as she started to dance with the music. Drowning would always scare her but now the water was at her control, she waved her hand up over her head and the water cocooned around her. She wished Daniel could calm her.
"If I could just see you, Everything would be alright, If I'd see you, This darkness would turn to light, And I will walk on water, And you will catch me if I fall, And I will get lost into your eyes, I know everything will be alright, I know everything is alright"
Outside the cocoon a form started to appear, it towered like him but his face blurred in the water like her memory of him. It stepped into the cocoon and wrapped its arms around her, they danced on the water as waves and fountains flouted around them.
"I know you didn't bring me out here to drown, So why am I ten feet under and upside down? Barely surviving has become my purpose, 'Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface. If I could just see you, Everything would be alright. If I'd see you, This darkness would turn to light, And I will walk on water, And you will catch me if I fall, And I will get lost into your eyes. I know everything will be alright, And I will walk on water, And you will catch me if I fall, And I will get lost into your eyes, I know everything will be alright. I know everything is alright, Everything's alright, Everything's alright."
The beautiful floating dream stopped abruptly when the DJ came back on, "Isn't that beautiful! Next up is Lit and The Broken." A fairly stronger song started to play and Daydream sighed. She curtsied to Water Daniel and he bowed back before he splashed into the waterfall. It felt good to break loose and feel happy again. She realized how the water had stopped flooding her eyes and the waves calmed to a soft roar. Everything had flowed out in the short four and a half minutes she let the Storm take over. Her fear of Daniel not wanting her or forgetting her washed away as she danced in the water. Whatever obstacles she faced she knew she didn't have to go alone anymore. It may take forever to find Daniel but she would wait forever for him. She never felt so light, a new Daydream stood quietly before a smiling Tragedy. Their eyes met and for the first time in a long time Daydream revealed a genuine smile, feeling something she thought she would never feel again, happiness.
"Why didn't you let loose?" Daydream asked.
Tragedy stood from her spot next to the radio, "Uh, we are on a waterfall in the middle of a forest and my powers are fire. I think it might be a bad idea for me to go all 'Johnny Blaze.'"
"Isn't there somewhere we can go that you can?" Daydream really worried about Tragedy's mental state for the first time. Tragedy had been through a lot and apparently the woman she spoke to was not the one who normally resided in her body.
"I guess we could find a volcano or a wild fire but I don't want anyone getting hurt and you would get really hot with me throwing fire everywhere," Tragedy smiled nervously she just recently found out she could control fire and she wasn't sure about letting that part of her out. She picked up the radio which had gone to commercials.
"I'll be fine. Let's go!" Daydream grabbed Tragedy and they disappeared into the mist. The other side was a night sky and a crop fire blazing around them. Farmers sometimes burn fields, Daydream didn't know why but didn't think they would mind the help. Tragedy's eyes glazed over as she smiled at the flames. "Go on, I am sure they will play another song soon," Daydream held the radio out of the heat.
The DJ came back on with the same pep as before, "I have a great song for you now, it is called Live Like a Warrior by Matisyahu. I know you will love it!"
Tragedy let the next song fill her bones and she let the fire caress her skin, it had a soft guitar playing and a man started to sing, his voice made her smile. She spun the flames around her in a tornado and started to dance to the soft beat the song let her have.
"Feel like the world don't love you. They only wanna push you away. Some days people don't see you. You feel like you're in the way. Today, you feel as everyone hates. Pointing their finger looking at your mistakes. You do good, they want great. No matter what you give, they still wanna take."
She cried as flames covered her arms and legs, the seemed to devourer her but she let them dance softly around her and with her.
"You give your love and they throw it back. You give your heart, they go on attack. When there's nothing left for you. Only thing that you can do, say, Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire. In a fire, in a fire. Fight like a warrior."
The flames grew and shot into the sky like fireworks, explosions turned quiet in the hope of hearing the words. She needed the release more than she realized. She couldn't let the world have her all the time.
"Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire. Live like a warrior. There some things you should let go. They're only gonna pull you down. Just like weight on your shoulder. They're only gonna make you drown. We all swing high, we all swing low. We all got secrets people don't know. We all got dreams we can't let go. We wanna be brave, don't be afraid, no. Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire. Fight like a warrior. Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire. Live like a warrior. Your heart is so heavy, From things you carry a long time, Been up, you been down. Tired and you don't know why. But you're never gonna go back. You only live one life. Let go, let go, let go, Let go, let go, let go. Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire. Fight like a warrior. Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire. Live like a warrior. Today, today, live like you wanna. Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire, In a fire, in a fire, Fight like a warrior."
The music stopped and Tragedy felt the flames die down inside and around her. She had never felt so much power coursing through her. The world had disappeared except for her and Matisyahu, he had to be following her around to understand her heart so perfectly. Daydream stood in utter amazement. The flames had not come near her but she had a little force-field of water anyway. She did a quick movement and the flames all fell to the blackened earth. Smoke filled the air and the radio died. "Well I guess the evening is over, huh?" Tragedy smiled at Daydream who sat the radio on the ground.
"I guess. I needed that though, more than anything I have ever needed in my afterlife," Daydream smiled softly, "Let's get back to Bad Dream."
"Yeah, we kind of disappeared without warning, huh?" They each stepped into their patterns and arrived back at the cave, light hearted and happy.
