The Freedom of a Name
The Freedom of a Name
By TheButterflyBrigade AKA BewitchedButterflies
A name given
A name taken
But what about those
Whose name is tainted
Used. Abused.
Her innocence seized
By her family, even…
Their needs never appeased
They used her all up
Till she was just a husk
A shell of a girl
They dared to touch
The girl you see before you
Is not as she seems
She has facets and parts
Some cut not so clean
Riley
That name that always makes us falter
A Name once held by the body
Now Belonged to an alter
The feeling of that name
Is not that of pride
It’s one of shame
A feeling that I have to hide
Upon learning of these parts
That girl had some setbacks
Memories discovered
Of their well hidden tracks
Another little girl appeared
Scared as can be
Screaming, crying
Altogether just feeling… crappy
“What’s your name?”
A soft internal voice asks
“I don’t have one…”
She says through the mask
“Clearly you do, or you wouldn’t be here”
She chose her name.
One that’s her own
A name not associated

Because Hank decided to leave (to God knows where), Chase ordered himself and Connor a taxi. The world warped in and out of Chase's vision, with the blackness crawling out of the shadows as if to invade his mind. He blinked it away, trying to focus on anything else. The memories of Seán's childhood came flooding back to him though, mixing and warping in with his own memories.
"Chase, what do you think about these deviants?" Connor asked.
Chase knew what he thought. He thought androids- especially deviants- should be killed off. Just the idea that he sat next to an android made his blood boil. But that's not what came out of his mouth.
"Uh... Androids... I..." His mouth struggled to form the words that he wished so desperately to speak.
Connor nodded, "It's alright. You have been dissociating for the past half an hour, and we are about to approach your apartment, so it probably wasn't the best time for me to ask that."
No shit, Chase wanted to grumble. His mouth didn't move

When Anti opened his eyes, he could hear the shouting of the others. Even in his cave away from the house, the shouting hurt his ears. Anti clenched his jaw and stood. This needed to stop. He raised his hand, clenched it, and felt his body grow fuzzy. Anti closed his eyes- even after all these years the teleportation made him dizzy.
The shouting grew louder as Anti materialized in the living room. He opened his eyes to see Sam playing on the floor, looking up with worried eyes.
Anti knelt, "Hey bud. What's going on up there?"
Sam looked at him, "Chase is mad because someone else was fronting."
Anti found himself nodding, "Are you okay?"
Sam nodded enthusiastically, "Henrik got me new toys!"
"That's awesome, bud," Anti stood, eyes now looking at the spiral staircase in the corner. He tried to keep his footfalls quiet, but couldn't help how the picture next to the staircase glitched and turned on its side. Of course.
As he ascended the stairs, he heard the shouting become
