"I've heard you sing, I've come for a song." A female voice called out with authority, slight annoyance her eyes looking around at the darkness. her nose twitching slightly at the smell which made her cover her nose with her sleeve. "Sing." wooden chair clapped against the floor as a guard placed it near the cell bars. Looking at the guard before cleaning off the chair sitting down. "Filthy, you can't find me a cleaner one?" The guard shook their head nervously standing in attention with their arms at their side. "I wasn't informed you would be coming down or I would have gathered you a more appropriate seating." She scuffed with a low growl adjusting herself in the chair.
"Well? Sing! I don't have all day!" Exhaling through her nose with a groan, "I came to this disgusting place to hear you sing. Now sing!" Her claws tapped against the arm of the chain. The guard stepped closer to the bars. "Sing! That's a order." She slowly growing impatient. "You can rot in there. You there." Waving a guard over to her, "I thought you said this one could sing? Are you trying to make a fool of me?!" The female stared into the guards eyes with rage building "N-no! Never I wouldn't. They do sing I have heard them. I wo-." The guard shook slightly, she snapped at them quickly.
"No food for both of you today understood? If you say they do sing then I will be back tomorrow and if they still do not sing then both of you will be having something in common." The guard opened their mouth wanting to say something but closed their mouth and nodded. "Both of you will be in these disgusting cells with no food, for wasting my time with this nonsense." The guard lowering their head knowing there was no arguing it was going to be a rough day now without any food.
Chains slid along the cold dirt floor, interrupting the conversation on the other side of the bars. The torches flickering outside of the cell walls. The chains crashing down upon the ground as it led into the shadows of the cell. "If you knew. Peggy Sue." A light tapping of chains against the ground as the voice sang softly from the shadows. "Then you'd know why I feel blue." The singing echoed through the cell and down the hallway slightly before fading into silence. "Without Peggy."
"My Peggy Sue"
The light of the torch barely lighting the way through the halls "Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue" She scuffed through her nose at the singing before glancing back at the guard. The guard smiled nervously while standing near the cell bars, turning their attention to the ground.
"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, how my heart yearns for you"
"Oh, Peggy."
"My Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue"
"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, Peggy."
"My Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"And I need you, Peggy Sue"
"I love you, Peggy Sue"
"With a love so rare and true"
"Oh, Peggy."
"My Peggy Sue"
"Well, I love you, gal"
"I want you, Peggy Sue"
The chains tapping continued, along with a slight tap of the guards foot against the ground. "So you weren't lying after all. Very well you can eat today" The female looked to the guard then back at the one behind the bars. "When I want a song you sing, and you get to eat. Make me wait and you get nothing." Nothing else was said as the song continued. The rhythm of the chains and tapping of feet on the ground, the cold dry ground kicked up a slight bit of dust.
"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue"
"Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"Yes, I need you, Peggy Sue"
"I love you, Peggy Sue"
"With a love so rare and true"
"Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you, gal"
"And I want you, Peggy Sue"
"Oh, well, I love you gal"
"And I want you, Peggy Sue!"
"Is that it? Who is this Peggy Sue? A lover perhaps? It's not even about me, what a worthless song. Tomorrow give me a song worth my time." She sat there waiting for a reply as she stared at the figure in the shadow. "Speak!" She commanded before narrowing her eyes staring directly at the shadows. The guard cleared their throat, "Answer the questions! Speak!" The guard leaned down tugging on the chain against the figure trying to pull them from the shadows. "Fine starve." She stood from the chair glaring at the shadowed figure and dusting off her body from the chair. "Get me a more suitable seat next time." Her face covered with her sleeve turning and leaving as her body guards led and followed through the hallways with their own torches to light the way.
"Yes! I will make sure the seats will be suitable! I'll make sure they'll answer you next time!" The guard bowed their head staring at the ground letting go of the chain as it fell to the floor. "Good, if they don't that's fine long as they sing." Leaving with her bodyguards trying to push the body guard in front of her to move faster wanting to get out of the stench. "DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SMELL!" She growled coughing slightly, "MOVE!" Their pace moved faster with her orders, the guard watched and looked around. "Smell? How?" The lady was already out of the hallway and headed out of the prison.
