Hey people! I finally wrote that sequel to Gone In A Cloud Of Smoke! Here's the catch, though: I won't update this one all that often. It's a "special" story. Special meaning I'll update whenever I want. Sorry about that, but it's how I roll.
Anyway, on with the show...er I mean story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Grojband.
Sabrina's Revenge
Chapter 1
-Laney's POV-
Everyone's been kind of on edge since the whole Sabrina thing. Kon's too afraid to watch movies that have to do with kidnapping. Kin hasn't touched a single invention since then. I've started to feel like I'm being watched most of the time. But I don't think any of our newfound quirks are as bad as Corey's.
Core's gotten pretty overprotective of everyone he cares about. Even Trina, who's recently changed her name back to Katrina, but especially me. I've tried countless times to snap him out of it, but to no avail. "Lanes, it's my fault that the whole mess happened," he said. "I'm the one who pissed off Sabrina. I'll never forgive myself for letting you get hurt."
Everyone else has noticed it, too. In the Groj today, Kin looked up an article on the Peaceville News website. We found an article that Kylie, one of our stockers, wrote. "Corey's lack of cheerfulness is all over everywhere," Kin said. "A lot of our fans are really freaking out about it." I looked at the screen and read the article.
"Lost Passion
Last month, a tragedy within Grojband has shaken each member of the band. Lead guitarist Corey Riffin seems most affected by the event. According to police officials, Corey and bassist Laney Penn were captured by an unknown assailant and taken to a warehouse.
In said warehouse, according to an anonymous source, Corey and Laney pronounced their feelings to each other. It turns out that they're in love! For more info on what happened that day, click here for the article.
Back to the after effects. A wave of paranoia has hit Grojband hard. According to movie box office stats, less tickets for movies such as Vanished, I'm Coming For You, and Asylum have been sold. This is because drummer Kon Kujira has been afraid to watch those types of movies lately, and I can't say I blame him.
Laney's and Kin Kujira's new quirks haven't been as bad, though. Kin hasn't tried to invent anything lately for reasons unknown, and Laney is constantly looking over her shoulder as if she's being followed. Word has it that things have gotten so bizzare, that somehow Trina Riffin, Corey's older sister, has changed her name to Katrina and has been super nice.
Corey's been affected worst of all. He's been really overprotective of his friends, family, and anyone else he cares about. He's been easily getting pissed off, and hasn't been concentrating on his music. The spark has started to die. Honestly, I'm scared. What will become of Grojband with this new scar?

"I can't believe how much people are talking about this," Kon said. This has been going on for four months, and it's annoying me. I reread "The spark has started to die," and wonder how to return things to normal. Just then, I got a crazy plan that just might work.
"I gotta go," I said. "I'll see you guys later." I ran out the Groj door just as I ran into Corey. I gasped and we both fell backward. "Oh my God! Lanes, are you okay?!" Core panicked. "Yeah Core," I responded, "I'm fine. Don't worry about it. You just scared me a little. Stupid paranoia, right?" I tried to lighten his mood, but he's still freaked about it. "I'm so so sorry Laney," he said.
"Core, it's okay. You don't have to worry about the slightest bits of bad luck like falling, because we can always help each other back up." We kissed, and I walked back to my house. I couldn't tell anyone about what I was about to do, because they'll for sure label me a traitor. I just hope it works.
-Corey's POV-
I feel like such an irresponsible idiot! I almost hurt the girl I'm trying to protect. I will never forgive or forget the disaster I caused. Laney's been trying to convince me otherwise, but I won't believe her. "Core, it's not your fault," she told me. "You don't have to worry about it. Sabrina's a psychopath. It had nothing to do with you."
As much as I tried, I couldn't shake the fact that I was to blame.
-No One's POV-
Laney had gotten back to her house hoping to ask her mother to drive her to the city penitentiary. Unfortunately, though, her mom wasn't home. She'd left a note on the back of the front door.
"Gone to the store. Be back soon.
Mom"
Laney took out her cell phone and called her mom. As soon as she hits the talk button, she hears Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" playing in the kitchen. She ran to the kitchen to see what the source was, and her mom's phone was sitting on the counter.
-Laney's POV-
"Damn," I muttered. Mom always forgot to take her phone with her. I can't just sit and wait for Mom to come home. I went onto Google Maps to find directions to the penitentiary, and found that it was ten miles away.
"You have got to be kidding me," I said. It was a long distance, but I had to talk to Carrie and see if there are any pieces missing in the puzzle. I grabbed my jacket, left a note for Mom, and started walking.
Okay, so, that's it for chapter one. L8r!
