Remember This Moment Pt2
"Loosing and Gaining"
Airyn, Belladonna, and Kris stood backstage as they waited to be called on for their first concert. "God I'm so nervous." Ryn said as she clung to Bella's arm. Bella laughed nervously as she held onto Ryn's hands on her arm. "Yeah I know. What if they don't like us?" Kris stood there leaning against the wall. "Come on you two. What's not to like. TWO hot chicks playing guitar and belting out their pipes singing." "Speaking of singing." said Pickles walking up to the nervous band mates. "What song you guys doing first?" Ryn looked at Bella than back at Pickles blushing. "I was hoping to do a cover song first. Vermillion Part 2 by Slipknot than one of our own songs. We even have permission from the members of Slipknot to do it." "Yes and that's the song Ryn sings main vocals on." "And I get to beat a lot of different drums." Kris said adding in." Pickles nodded. "That sounds great." he said his eyes never leaving Ryn's eyes. "You guys will be great." Nathan came up behind Pickles. "Break a leg guys you're up." Airyn, Bella and Kris all took deep breathes as they waited for the announcer to announce their band. ~*
"And tonight for the first time. Dethklok has an opening band. With out further ado I give you Dark Paradise!"
Airyn, Bella, and Kris all ran out onto the stage. Kris did a cartwheel as he went to his drum set. Bella did a back handspring as she reached her cue on stage and Ryn did a back flip on her cue and than picked up her bass guitar. She walked up to her mic as they started to play Vermillion pt 2 by Slipknot. She looked over at Bella than started to sing.
//She seemed dressed in all of me, Stretched across my shame, All the torment and the pain, Leaked through and covered me, I'd do anything to have her to myself, Just to have her for myself//
Backstage Pickles and Nathan were watching the girls on stage. Nathan had a look in his eyes as he watched the fiery red head play guitar that's never been there before. A rare smiled appeared on his lips. Pickles just couldn't take his eyes off of Ryn as she sang Vermillion. She had a way with her voice that would put Slipknot to shame. And it was their song she was singing.
//Now, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, When she makes me sad//
Ryn let her bass rest on her shoulder as she put both her hands on her mic to sing. She danced around a bit. Her bright red skirt flaring out around her as she moved. She looked over at Bella and winked. Together they belted out the next lyric.
//She is everything to me, The unrequired dream, A song that no one sings, The unattainable, She's a myth that I have to believe in, All I need to make it real is one more reason//
Kris smiled as he watched over his sister and best friend sing their hearts out. He even joined in every now and than when he was supposed to. Granted he didn't sing very often but he did do back up to the girls to give them a good sound. Together the three all belted out the last part to the song.
//She isn't real, (I won't let this build up, build up inside of me), I can't make her real, (I won't let this build up, build up inside of me), She isn't real, (I won't let this build up, build up inside of me), I can't make her real, (I won't let this build up, build up inside of me)//
They went right into their next number. One of their original songs. Bella held onto the mic as she belted out the lyrics. ~*
After their first concert they returned to Mordhaus. Airyn yawned as she fell onto the couch. She grabbed the remote off the coffee table and clicked on the TV. What came on scared the crap out of her. A plane wreck. "Ahh!" she screamed horrified. Kris, Pickles, and Nathan came running in the room. "Ryn what's wrong?" Pickles asked sitting beside her. Airyn just pointed at the screen. Kris looked at the screen and his eyes widened "mom, dad" he said sadly. "That was our parents' plane," said Airyn. "They were on their way home." Kris said sadly. Pickles wrapped his arms around airyn pulling her to his chest as she started to cry.
They listened to the news caster tell the story. "There was one survivor. Catalyna Blaze." Airyn lifted her head up. "Mom's alive" the newscaster continued. "Catalyna Blaze is in critical condition at lake side hospital in California. Her husband the late Victor Blaze died at the hospital. Their family has not been notified yet seeing as their son and daughter are currently traveling on tour with the band Dethklok world wide." Airyn looked up at her brother Kris. "We have to go." "Yes." Kris said as he continued to watch the news of the crash. ~*
Kris and Airyn were taken to California in one of Dethklok's helicopters. Pickles, Bella, Nathan and the rest of Dethklok came with them. Kris and Airyn ran into the hospital and straight to the nurse's station. "Catalyna Blaze what room is she in?" Ryn nearly screamed at the nurse. Kris had his arms around his sister. "Where's our parents?" The nurse looked behind the two Blaze children to see the band Dethklok walking up to the station. She looked back at the Blaze children and than turned to the computer. She typed a few things in and turned back to them. "Catalyna is in the ICU on the 3rd floor." Airyn ran to the staircase and bolted through the door.
Pickles looked at Kris and Bella for a moment than ran after Airyn. He caught up with her on the 3rd floor when she exited the staircase and was at the nurse's station asking to see her mother. He placed his hand on her back. "Ryn calm down a bit." Airyn turned to Pickles and wrapped her arms around him sobbing. "She's my Mum. I can't, my real dad left us when I was 2 than Victor and Kris came into our lives." Pickles hugged her tightly to him than pulled back holding her an arms length away. "She will be fine. Come on lets go see her." Airyn smiled as she walked with Pickles to her mother's bedside. Pickles slipped his hand into hers and locked their fingers together.
Kris, Bella and the rest of Dethklok exited the elevator to see Pickles and Airyn walking down the hall to Catalyna's room. Kris walked up to the nurse's station to ask the room number. Bella watched Pickles and Ryn. She smiled seeing their hands entwined as they walked. She joined the group as they walked down the hall to Catalyna's room. ~*
For the next two weeks Airyn couldn't sleep. She spent every moment at her mother's bedside, except for her step father's Funeral. Than one night her mother looked over at her smiling. "Ryn my darling girl." "Mom!" Ryn said and nearly fell out of her chair. She tripped over her own feet as she walked to the bed and sat on the edge. "Ryn sweetie. Everything will be alright." "Mom you're too hurt. The doctors are surprised you've made it this long. Dad didn't." "Shh." Catalyna said to her daughter. "I'll be with dad soon." "Mom no!" "Ryn, I've lived a long and happy life. I've seen my daughter and son grow up and follow their dreams. You're a great singer and bassist never loose that talent my daughter." Catalyna said smiling. Airyn sat on the edge of her mother's bed crying her eyes out. "Everything we have is now yours and Kris's." Airyn shook her head. "Mom no don't go!" Catalyna lifted her battered hand up and wiped the tears from her daughters eyes. "I love you Airyn!" she said as she sat her hand down. She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing down as she died. The monitors and machines all around her bed started beeping widely. "Mom!" Ryn yelled crying. "MOM!" ~*
Airyn sat in a chair beside Kris at her mother's funeral. She had on a black dress with a black vail over her face. She had a tissue in her hand to wipe the tears away. She closed her eyes and cried even harder as they lowered the casket into the ground. This was just too much on her. Her mother and her father were both gone now. She got up from her chair and walked with her brother and her extended family of Dethklok to the limo to leave. ~*
That night after the funeral Dethklok and Dark Paradise did a tribute concert to Kris and Airyn's parents. Both bands were on stage for the performance. Airyn stood upfront playing her bass as she sang with Bella as Kris and Nathan sang backup.
//Now that I've Lost you it kills me to say (Hurts to say), I tried to hold on as you slowly slipped away. (slowly slipped away), I'm losing the fight. I treated you so wrong, now let me make it right. (Make it all right)//
Airyn sat her bass down and walked up to the back of the stage as she stood between Pickles and her brother Kris playing the drums as she sang the last part of the song.
//(Mother)Come back to me, it's almost easy (Said it all) Come back again, its almost easy (you learned your lesson) Come back to me, it's almost easy (But still you fall) Come back again, it's almost easy//
Pickles stood up from his drums at the end of the song and pulled Airyn into his arms holding her to his chest tight as she cried after she finished the song. Bella and Nathan went right into the next song.
//Here we are, there's nowhere else to go. And that's so far from where we all could be. But you can't feel my disappearing. And you should take this for what it's worth.//
Bella looked at the back of the stage to see Airyn in Pickles arms. She smiled to herself as she continued to sing her heart out. She looked back over the hall where they were performing and a sense of pride over took her seeing that many people there to pay tribute to Airyn and Kris's late parents. She continued to sing with Nathan taking over Airyn's parts seeing as she was too upset to sing at the moment and currently in Pickles arms.
//This is it and it fits. And it feels like this is good enough for me. Could it be that the grass is always green?//
Pickles continued to hold Airyn to him as she cried. He had turned off her mic as he was saying soothing words to her. Kris looked over from playing the drums to see Pickles comforting his sister. Pickles looked up at Kris with a question in his eyes. Kris nodded his head as he continued to beat on his drums. Pickles nodded in thanks and looked back down at Airyn. He placed his hand under her chin and smiled down at her as his eyes locked with hers.
//There you are, you dream of something better. What's so wrong with what you thought was true? And all the colors are disappearing. But you should take this for what it's worth.//
Airyn looked up at Pickles face the tears still streaming down her own. She saw something unfamiliar in his eyes. Pickles smiled at Airyn as he wiped the tears from her eyes. "No more tears." he said softly. "Tears are not a good accessory to such a beautiful face." Airyn smiled shyly as her cheeks reddened. Pickles held his hand to Airyn's cheek as he leaned his head down to hers.
//This is it and it fits. And it feels like this is good enough for me. Could it be that the grass is always green?//
Airyn held her breath as Pickles lips touched hers. The kiss was soft and tender. Her arms moved from his waist to up around his neck as she held onto him as if for dear life. Pickles held Airyn's body close to his own as he kissed her softly. He felt a tear run from her eyes against his face as he kissed her.
//This is it (this is it) this is it (this is it) If you feel like disappearing you should take this for what it's worth.//
Bella twirled around on the stage to take a look back at Airyn and grinned as she saw her best friend kissing Dethklok's drummer Pickles. As she twirled back around to the audience she tapped Nathan's shoulder. Nathan looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Bella made a gester to the back of the stage. Nathan turned around and grinned as he saw Pickles kissing the daylights out of Airyn.
Pickles pulled away from the kiss as he turned Airyn's mic back on. Airyn held the mic to her mouth and sang the last lyric to the song with Bella.
//This is it and it fits. And it feels like this is good enough for me. Could it be that the grass is always green? This is it, this is it.//
The concert ended soon after that song and both bands piled back onto the bus. Airyn sat in Pickles lap sleeping as he rubbed her back. "So?" Bella and Nathan said together to Pickles. Pickles just shrugged his shoulders as he continued to sooth the sleeping blonde in his lap. Kris patted Pickles's shoulder. "I'm happy for ya both." Pickles smiled and nodded his thanks. Airyn slept in his lap the entire ride back to Mordhaus. Where upon arrival Pickles carried the still sleeping Airyn to his room and laid her in his bed. He crawled in beside her and pulled her close.
The rest of Dethklok all followed suite in heading to bed that night. Kris and Bella however sat out in the living room talking. "So did they get the two of them recorded on the tape?" "yes." Bella said as she popped the dvd into the player. She sat there watching the scene of Pickles and Airyn finally getting together that she had missed cause of singing. ~*
