Fighting the Darkness Within
Jasper worried as he watched it begin
Knowing Ruechari's defenses to be thin
She tossed turned, yelled things outright
She was putting up one hell of fight
Jasper asked Jujube to go get the Chief
Perhaps there was something he could do
To give her relief.
Billy stopped back often to check in on Rue
Hating the feeling there was nothing he could do.
Ruechari was in the throws of darkness all around
She tried to find a way out but none could be found
She heard the voice whisper, tease and taunt
That she was his now, it would flaunt.
"NO! I'm the keeper! You're the prisoner here!
I will not succumb! From you I have nothing to fear!"
"Oh, Ruechari, you and I are meant to be.
You'll one day see.
You're power could be so much greater
If you'll just come willingly."
That's how she knew she couldn't lose
It was something she had to choose
And there was no way she'd turn to him
"You're words are wasted, and my
patience is wearing thin."
He tortured her mind, yet it felt like
Physical pain
But she refused to give in as she
Had everything to lose and
The Wraith, everything to gain.
Chief ThingAMaJig prayed day and night
He had a vision on how to set things right
"Are you certain?" he asked Shari.
"I have spoken with the Powers that Be
It is his purpose,
She needs his strength,
If she is to survive this place."
The Chief opened his eyes.
"It is time,"
He signed to WhatsHisFace.
He nodded that he understood
When he looked upon Rue
He knew he'd do, whatever he could.
The Chief ushered everyone from the room
He had to save his niece from this doom.
"You understand this bond can not be broken?"
WhatsHisFace just nodded,
no words needed to be spoken.
He picked up Rue and sat with her in his arms,
As the Chief worked his charms
Ruechari suddenly seen a burst of light
It was such an incredible sight.
"Come with me, Ruechari."
There stood WhatsHisFace holding out his hand
She'd seen on his arm the red band
She couldn't remember the last time she heard his voice
She knew what he did for her and that it was his choice
With tears in her eye, she asked,
"Why would you sacrifice so much for me?"
"You know the why, Ruechari."
He tilted her head. He kissed her lips.
From this dark reality she was ripped.
She opened her eyes, she gasped for breath
In his arms she still rest.
She would have been forever lost in that abyss.
She knew in him, she's been remiss
She'd seen his smile and watched him sign.
"I am forever yours, even if you may never be mine."
The Chief praised the Powers that Be.
"Welcome back, Ruechari."
