Where The Light Shines

Chapter 1 Prologue

Ally's POV

"Ally come look!" Trish exclaimed. I sighed trying to put down the song and go see what she was talking about. She flapped a flyer in front of my face.

NEW CONTEST HERE IN MIAMI! SHOW OFF YOUR SKILLS!

It read, cool it's a competition. Sort of like Battle of the Bands. We could so do that, me and Trish are in a band called the Ravens.

Ally (me)

Vanessa (my sister)

Eli

Nathan (my sister's man)

Sophie

Trish is our manager, we've been together for three years. We celebrated with a gig at the beach. I don't wanna brag but we're pretty popular, we could go far in this contest.

"Let's do it!" I exclaimed texting the others. We so got this. Sophie, Eli, Nathan and my sister all agreed to join. Me and Trish spent that night sending an application. Hoping we'd be one of the eight bands chosen. They're picked randomly too, so anyone could have a chance.

Austin's POV

"Yo Dez, you see this?" I asked pointing to the TV.

"A whole new show? I'm intrigued Simon." a man said.

"Yes, we shall annonomyously pick 8 bands to take part in A New Kind of Beat. The champions will recieve a record label and judge the competition next year. They will stay at the Dominion Hotel and perform for America each week." he explained.

"Dude we have to sign up for this. It could be our big break!" I said going online to apply.

"How will we get it? I bet thousands of people are applying." Dez asked.

"Just have to cross our fingers!"

Our band is called TADA!

Teresa (my girlfriend)

Austin (me)

Dez

Amy (Dez's cousin)

We've been a band for a little over a year now. I've been dating Teresa for half that time. She's our lead guitarist and sings sometimes. She has the most beautiful voice.

*Narrator's POV*

The two bands excitedly awaited for their fate to be announced. Each sent in an application before immediately beginning to work on new songs in case they get accepted.

By the next two weeks everyone in America is crossing their fingers and counting their lucky stars. Today was the day they would announce the 8 groups.

"Alright! The first band is... AKNU!" Ally, Trish, Dez and Austin each waited anxiously as the next bands were called.

"Lucy and the Lunatics!"

"Lost Girls!"

"Showstoppers!"

"Masked Mayhem!"

"TADA!" Austin and his band cheered jumping up and down.

"Karate Gang!" Ally was almost in tears.

"And last but not least...The Ravens!" she blinked several times as her group cheered hugging one another.

"Oh my god we made it!" Vanessa cried kissing her boyfriend, The bands were thrilled, by this time tomorrow they were going to be living the dream. Perform live and hope to win the title as A New Kind of Beat.
