Blake's POV

To say Blake was nervous was an understatement, as she climbed the steps of the building advertised on the flyer she found stapled to a telephone pole. Guitar case in hand she finally made it to the top, told the attendant her name and then took a seat next to at least twenty other people all with guitars.

Blake and the others were here to audition to become part of The Knockouts, one of Vale's leading bands on the indie scene. The former guitarist, Cinder, had left earlier this month and instead of deciding to get a proven a guitarist to fill the slot, the band had rather decided to hold open auditions for anyone as long as they were between the ages of twenty to twenty-five and preferably female.

Blake patiently sat while the other guitarists each went into the room and after five minutes each came out with a crushed expression on their face which only made Blake feel even more nervous.

"Blake Belladonna" the attendant called.

Slowly Blake stood to her feet and entered the room. Upon looking around the room she noticed it was completely bare except for a table in the centre with the three members of the band sitting down with pads of paper. Weiss Schnee the lead singer was in the middle with her long white hair tied into an off set pony tail. On one side sat the bassist Ruby Rose, who broke all stereotypes that bassists were calm people, as anyone who saw a live performance would know she never stopped moving. On the other side was the drummer, Yang Xiao Long, who Blake could say was much better looking in person than she was on photos of the band.

"Hello, what is your name" Weiss asked

"Yeh, uh, hi, I'm Blake Belladonna" Blake answered rather nervously

"How old are you Blake and what song will you be playing to try and impress us" Weiss asked again, clearly in charge of the auditions

"Twenty-One and I will be playing Layla by Derek and the Dominoes" Blake said

"Alright then, don't worry about singing as thats my job" Weiss added

Yang POV

As soon as Blake had walked through the door, Yang had thought she was very good looking with her long, black hair and black crop top and black shorts, showing off your perfect figure.

Yang although convinced she had the rocker look was nor convinced by the way she stuttered through the questions and the choice of song and had little faith that Blake was any good at guitar.

Yang's doubts however were completely blown from her mind as Blake played the opening riff to the song and it was absolutely flawless. Yang was mesmerised and couldn't take her eyes off Blake as she played through the song.

Once Blake had finished playing, Yang turned to Weiss and Ruby who both had looks of amazement on their faces.

"Well, I think we may have find our guitarist" Weiss said and Yang and Ruby both nodded to which Blake's jaw dropped and the beginning of tears were forming in her eyes.

Quickly Yang got up and went over to her and gave her a hug.

"Hey, you were great, now could I have your number so i can text you details of our next practice session,kay? Yang asked to which Blake nodded and gave her the numbers.

"See you later Blakey" Ruby said as Blake was leaving and Yang was still in awe of her beauty and virtuoso guitar playing skills.
