Chibiyu: Wow…I was reading Silvereyed angles' "Dancing on Water" and thinking about her Fireball story and BAM! Inspiration! Thank you Silver for giving me this inspiration but I also curse you for making me need to add another story to my growing list. But I still love you!

Nick: I have a bad feeling…but that is normal when Chibiyu has inspiration.

Chibiyu: Oh hush, this isn't all about you Nick. This is a different kind of story and it is fantasy and it is so much better than the summary because I am not that good at writing summaries.

The Final Chapter

Summary: What people fail to see is that we each have our own world; we just need to find the entrance to it…but the exit is not nearly as easy to find. When one of the three brothers stumbles into his own world, answering a plea for help, the other two are left speechless at his vanishing until a strange girl appears to them and tells them of a great danger and their own brother is the cause. But what can be done when a pure heart enters darkness and his world follows with him? "Please…Please help us…Save us from him, from our creator…he is killing us and in turn, you brave knights, will fall to his wraith as well. In this world, Blood is not thicker than Water."

NICK'S POV

It is strange to me how quickly a day can go by but how slow a night will fade. Maybe it is the silence that enshrouds the whole sunless portion of the world, or maybe the fault lies with myself, and how all of my thoughts race at night, analyzing everything that had happened in the day, correcting any mistakes I may have made, or just simply dawdling on a simple fact, like a song. But whatever the reason was, my nights passed slowly while Joe's and Kevin's raced on in sleep. In that way, I envied them…but I also envied them for more.

Joe had his looks that made girls swoon and fans go crazy at the mere sight of him. His voice far surpassed mine, for one thing because he didn't sound like a girl on steroids, and he was always the center of attention, on ad off stage. Kevin, I envied because he had found love while all I had found was a broken heart. Kevin's guitar skills were so much better than mine and he was all smiles, which always drew the girls to him as well. Me? Well yeah, I was the genius behind the songs, but nothing more.

I supposed it was wrong because I knew we were all loved in some way by our family, friends and fans, and to envy my brother's was normal, but not to this level. I only just started noticing the difference in respect we each were given by everyone, even Macy treated me differently, which I was ok with because she didn't maul me everywhere I went, but still…was I not worth it?

Of course you are Nick. Don't think you are not. But it was becoming difficult to believe my own words. I had so much on my shoulders right now and so much on my mind, I wondered, if even for a second, my brother's would ask to help alleviate the unknown burden. But no…I was too good at hiding my woes. So I suppose, all of this is my fault.

I rolled over and starred at the window I was facing, looking but not really seeing. When had this started? Three months ago, with Stella.

-FLASHBACK-

I watched Stella and Joe laugh at something Joe said while I was sitting quietly in the corner, just doing my Biology homework and minding my own business. They still didn't know I was here in the room; I was good at blending and becoming invisible, giving them a private moment.

"Hey Stells, I'm going to go get a drink, want anything?" Joe asked and I heard Stella say no and as soon as Joe was out of earshot, her phone rang and she answered.

"Hey Mace! Yeah I am at Joe's helping him with his homework. Wait…what? Why do you care what I think about Nick?" She asked and I looked up at the sound of my name, my pencil pausing in the air. Stella's back as turned to me as she listened to Macy speak. "Mace, he isn't a god or anything. Yes he plays a lot of instruments and sings and yes he writes the songs but other than that…" She trailed off and turned, dripping her phone as her gaze met mine. "Nick…I…" But I never gave her the chance to answer. I just stood up, leaving my homework and walked away, not wanting to hear her false apology.

-END FLASHBACK-

Ever since that moment, Stella and Macy both have been distant from me and it wasn't my fault. Joe and Kevin were completely oblivious to what I endured in school, all of the insults and demeaning comments, always comparing me to them and how they would always be better. I sat up and grabbed my song notebook and wrote down the loneliness I felt in a song and sighed, laying back down, forcing my thoughts to stop cold so I could finally fall asleep.

JOE'S POV

Nick seemed…off today…then again…he's been off for awhile now but he always dodges the questions, with legit excuses like, 'I can't talk Joe, I have to write four new songs for the CD' or 'I can't talk right now bro, Dad wants me to setup an interview as a follow up to my solo project.' Sometimes I wondered if Nick was biting off more than he can chew, but this is Nick I am talking about, and he can get through anything.

We walked into school like normal, Stella holding my hand and Macy walking silently next to Nick, not even glancing his way and Stella ignored him too. Ok…was this the first time this had happened? But Nick seemed oblivious to that fact as he opened him locker and put away books and pulled out a few notes, probably love notes from fans like Kevin and I always get, before walking away without saying a word to us. Odd. Note to self; bug Nick about this later.

NICK'S POV

I sat in my first hour desk, reading the notes of hate, which Joe always thought were love letters. Basically they all said the same thing; Your brothers are so much better than you, drop out of the band and leave for good; no one wants you any more. I sighed and crumpled them up before tossing them in the waste basket. This was routine for me now but they were wrong, my brother's still wanted me.

I watched them walk into the room and I smiled at them and they looked oddly at me and my smile faded. What did I do now?

KEVIN'S POV-MINUTES BEFORE ABOVE

"Joe, Kevin!" Some guy shouted and we looked over to him. "Hi I am Henry Mans, Student Council President!" He said happily and we smiled at his enthusiasm.

"Hi Henry." He both greeted and he smiled at us and looked around.

"No Nick? Good, glad to see you finally ditched that loser. Never did have your talent. Anywho, I was wondering if I could have a word for the school newspaper. The question is why do you two still allow Nick to be seen with you? I mean come on, it's obvious he doesn't have a shred of talent besides song writing and even that his melodies are off and his voice sounds more like a girl on steroids." He finished, oblivious to our rising anger. He stopped and looked at us in expectation, a notebook in hand.

"What did you say about your brother runt?" Joe snapped, taking a slow threatening step towards Henry, whose smile faltered.

"Haven't…haven't you noticed?" Henry asked, looking frantically between Joe and me. "The whole school is…is ag-against your brother and we…we all thought you were too…that is was j-just and a-act." He stuttered pathetically.

"Well then Henry, write this down." I snarled. "Write down that without Nick, JONAS would be nothing, Joe and I would be nothing. He is our brother and we will stop this now! He is NOT useless like you have implied and he has more talent than anyone in this school. If I ever hear you or anyone talking about my brother like that again…well…take that anyway you want." I snarled, pulling Joe along and into the classroom, both of us boiling and anger. We looked over to Nick who smiled in greeting at us but his smile faltered when he caught our gazes and he blinked before looking down again. Why didn't he tell us? Why did he keep this to himself?

"Nick?" Joe asked, sliding down in his normal seat next to our brother and Nick looked at him, his face unreadable.

"Yeah Joe?" Joe looked Nick straight in the eye and for some reason hesitated.

"Nothing."

I turned to Joe in confusion and looked to Nick myself and met his gaze and I instantly understood why Joe did not want to confront Nick about it right now. The emotions Nick's eyes were not what I was used to seeing, they were conflicting in pain and nothing. His eyes seemed…dead. And school was not the best place to talk about this, not one minute before the bell.

"Hey Nick?" I said and he turned, the look in his eyes gone and I sighed, hating how he hid his emotions so well; he could be dying and we wouldn't know it. "We are here for ya man." I said, patting his shoulder and he looked confused but nodded before looking away.

NICK'S POV

Sure, now they were here for me. When the whole school is against me for two months and now they are here for me. Why don't I believe that? They should have seen this all, I shouldn't have to say a thing about it, they should have known! But I don't even know why everyone hates me, I don't know a thing! And that is what is killing me. Three months ago I was loving life and now I am barely living it. What in the name of Mike happened? I wandered to my second hour and on my desk was the newest edition of the school newspaper, the main article circled in highlighter. What could this be now?

Joe and Kevin Lucas Reveal True feelings for 'Brother'

What?

'Henry Mans got insight of what Joe and Kevin think of their oh so 'dear brother' Nick Lucas.

Dare I read more? I had to…this would prove if they were really with me.

Joe Lucas of the popular group JONAS told me, Henry, and I quote, "Our so called Brother Nicholas is kind of a drag. His lyrics are getting the same and more dull and his playing is always off beat. He is our brother, unfortunately for us, and we have tried to change him so he is…likeable…but…as you all can see…nothing we do is working."

I turned to Kevin for a comment and he was ready to give, comforting Joe all the while for their failure on Nick. "Nick is…boring and dull. He is way too serious and if our dad would let us, he would be out of the band. We don't need him anymore."

I couldn't go on. I dropped the newspaper and walked outside the classroom. If they didn't want me, I wouldn't stay. I took deep breaths as I left the school grounds and walked in the field next to our school as a short cut to go home. Thank goodness Mom and Dad were both out until late and Frankie was at school, it would make sneaking away so muck easier. I pulled my guitar higher on my back and slowed my pace.

"Please…someone help!" A young girl's voice called and I stopped, looking around, feeling the wind pick up, and the knee length grass tickling my hand. I started walking again, a heavy feeling settling on my stomach and the back of my neck prickling like I was being watched. I stopped again and turned and almost screamed. The field behind me did not exist anymore but I looked back over my shoulder and there is was, windy and normal. What was going on? "Help! Please, oh creator, please help us! The Darkness is growing! We need you Nick!" The girl screamed again and I looked back into the hole in reality, as I choose to call it and saw an amazing land but a dark cloud was descending rapidly. "Please Nick! Help!" She screamed again, her voice close towards desperation and hysteria. I looked back over my shoulder to the world I was not wanted in and turned back, taking a deep breath and walking into the hole without a second thought, and everything around me faded to black.

Chibiyu: Ok yes this prologue is Nick centric, but it won't be for most of the story. This time, all three of the brothers will play roles in my torture and it won't be all centered around Nicholas. I ask for three reviews, so I know people are interested in this story, though if I get less I probably will update anyway. Until Next Update!

I need to stop writing so much, but Nightmare is almost done so that will make things easier.
