I don't own Hero: 108 or "In the Dark" By Flyleaf
Commander ApeTrully sat nervously in his seat. His room decorated in red and gold, Chinese style. First Squad stood in front of him looking at him curiously. The door locked and the walls are sound proof, just incase someone may be listening.
"First Squad, I called you here today because I need your help…" ApeTrully said.
"Of course, we'll help you! You are our commander!" Sonia said, happy she can get out of the base for awhile.
"First, I need to tell you all the truth. I am not a human. I am actually the thirty third Monkey King." ApeTrully took a deep breath, "And I have a daughter. Her name is Zehuva." He confessed.
"You're a monkey?" Mighty Ray exclaimed. The others looked in shocked.
"Err, yes…" ApeTrully said quietly.
"Why didn't you tells us before?" Lin Chung asked.
"I think it was because he thought Big Green wasn't ready for an monkey leader." Mr. No Hands said.
"You are correct, Mr. No Hands. But now, I think you are ready to know."
"But where is your daughter, Commander ApeTrully?" Mighty Ray asked.
"That is where First Squad comes in." He said as he tells them the plan.
Zehuva was back stage getting ready for the show. She wore a long black cloak with her hood over her face. Two men and a woman walked up to her. The first man carried two electric guitars. The second man carried two drum sticks. The woman carried a microphone.
"Zeh, are you ready?" The first man asked as he handed her a electric guitar.
"Yeah, I'm ready, Jubal." She said. The name of the drummer is Apollo and Cecilia is the name of the keyboard player. The four walked to the stage. Fog was everywhere and it made a creepy lighting strike in the background. Zehuva began singing.
"I've written songs in the dark
I've felt inspired in the dark
I hide myself in the dark
Used to be afraid of the dark
Those in the light know we die in the dark"
She throws the cloak off and continued to sing. She was a black monkey with small dragon-like wings. Her fur on her face is white. Her right side of her face has black eyeliner around her eye and a black triangle on her right cheek. The left side has blue eyeliner and a blue triangle on her left cheek. Her hair was black and reached to her back.
"There's only artificial light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence
Fill this space, idle words
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did
Now I am mute, despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me
And I am left to face me
I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did
Glory shows up
Exposes us
I'm naked here
Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark
DAMN THE DARK!
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me in side this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did"
The audience clapped and cheered. After a few more songs the band walked off the stage.
"What a show!" Apollo exclaimed in his British accent. They headed to makeup room.
"Hey guys, I'm tired. I'm gonna go home." Zehuva said tiredly. The band said their goodbyes. She stretched her wings and flew home. She walked into her house. A man and a woman sat in the living room.
"Hi Jean. Hello Jack." Zehuva said. She stopped calling them mom and dad when she found out she was adopted.
"Your late, honey." Jean said.
"I know, we got caught up in the concert. I'm going to bed." She said. She walked to her room and closed the door. She changed into her nightgown and laid down under her covers. Someone knocked on the door.
"Who could be out this late?" Jack asked. Jean ignored him and answered the door.
"Hi…" She said.
"Hello, we are looking for a monkey-girl named Zehuva. Can we speak to her?" ApeTrully asked.
"If you're her fans, then no. She is very tired from the concert." Jean said rudely.
"No, we are not her fans. Please we need to speak to her." Lin Chung said.
"Fine, follow me…" She said as she lead them to the living room. "Please sit down and wait while I get her." They sat down and waited patiently her to returned.
