The songs are Flyleaf"again" and Evanescence "Taking Over me"
Another concert, another way to kill the time until the loneliness returns reminding me that I will live alone eternally thought Chikane staring at herself in the mirror, sickened at her pale perfect skin. She slowly traced a crescent shape moon under her eye adding an even more gothic feeling to this damned soul. She had deep blue gorgeous eyes with long silky hair that could cover her luscious body yet none of that mattered to Chikane, she knew that was all superficial and she'd never find someone. I mean who wants to be with a vampire anyways? At that instance her long time friend Corona barged in her room pumped about the show that was about to start.
"Hey dark, gloomy and depressing," said Corona teasing her friend.
She was medium height girl with a body thinner than Chikane's,' she had her brown hair up in two ponytails and greenish cat eyes that sometimes glowed when she excited. Sometimes Corona wondered why Chikane didn't make the most of her curse; to never die did have its perks. For one thing they could party all night, never grow old and ever since they started a band there have been an abundant of tasty meals; that is their fans. Chikane said nothing both rolled her eyes wondering how the hell they were friends. While Chikane was sophisticated, calm, and mature, Corona was loud, rude and sometimes reckless. The only common thing they had was their love of music and one rule that they both abided by; never kill a meal just take enough to satisfy the hunger. Lately Chikane had been starving herself getting sick of stealing life from others in a selfish attempt to live longer. Besides there was no reason to live for anyways; sure Corona would be upset if something happened to her but then she'd get over it like her kind always do. They never stay too long into the past especially when the present moves too fast for her taste that she hardly noticed that years have gone by since her "rebirth."
"It's showtime!" cried out the brunette running out like a maniac. Chikane took one last look in the reflection and walked out of her dressing room never knowing that this was the concert that was going to change her life forever.
In the audience
The concert was held outside in the humid night on a stage that looked like it was built just for that night; the concert was pretty packed for this underground band. The Lycans were so excited to be at a Hell's Angel concert …well almost everyone.
"Awww cheer up Cinnamon," Makoto said nudging her companion.
"What did I say about you calling me that," growled Reiko angry about the situation. She did not believe there would be so many people here and little personal space was available which meant they were sitting ducks out here. Anything, creature or Hunter, could come, attack them and they wouldn't know who it would have been.
"Come on Reiko I just want us to enjoy this please," begged Himeko. These were the only few precious moments she would have to cherish once she steps in a rightful leader so she would like it if there was nothing to ruin the moments. Reiko calmed down a bit realizing that she was being a little too paranoid but there was so much riding on Himeko's safety.
Just then the stage lights lid up and in came Hell's Angel making the crowd go wild. The band consisted of only three people; Corona who sang and played bass, Chikane, she also sang played electric guitar and on rare occasions played the keyboard and Soma the drummer. The girls went crazy for the boy drummer for his handsome face and his tight clothing showing off his muscular body but he hardly paid any attention to the audience, he just sat down and was ready to play.
The stage came alive when the sounds of the guitars and drums started to play and Corona was the first to sing.
(I love the way that your heart breaks
With every injustice and deadly fate
Praying it all will be new
And living like it all depends on you)
She looked out in the crowd loving the feel of being a superstar and how people wanted her yet something caught her attention. There was a red hair girl who wasn't even looking up and worse she looked completely bored! To Corona this simply wouldn't due it was a threat to her ego and she was not about to be ignored.
(Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again)
"Hey Mako?"
"Yeah Himeko."
"Is it just me or does the singer have a thing for Reiko?"
Before Mako could answer, Corona started to walk down the stage and towards the fiery red head. It took a moment for Reiko to realize everyone was staring at her and just as she was about to wonder why she was suddenly face to face with Corona.
(Love that you're never satisfied
With face value wisdom and happy lies
You take what they say and go back and cry
You're so close to me that you nearly died)
Corona was practically singing to the Lycan much to the jealously of everyone else. Reiko just stood there like a statue captured in Corona's intense eyes that she didn't care if she looked stupid or not. What snapped her out of it was when she felt cold fingers touch her cheek, Corona was cupping her face and they were so close to each other. Just as it looked like the singer was about to kiss her she turned around and climbed back stage satisfied with her actions.
(Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again)
Mako and Himeko were stunned in amazement; they have never seen Reiko act like that before. It was basically the first time they'd seen her without a smart comeback. Corona continued singing but kept her eye out for the red head every now and then.
(They don't have to understand you
Be still
Wait and know I understand you
Be still
Be still)
Again, it was as though Corona was singing just for Reiko making the Lycan blush red and shifting around nervously. For some reason the brunette brought something inside Reiko that she couldn't describe and honestly she hated it.
(Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
The floodgates are breaking
And pouring out
Here you are down on your knees
Trying to find air to breathe
Right where I want you to be again
I love you please see and believe again)
Chikane had managed to make eye contact with Corona telling her that she went too far but Corona just shrugged it off. No one could tell her what to do and for some reason the girl with glasses was kind of cute to her in a serious attitude way. Chikane was wondering what the poor girl did to deserve getting death glares from their other fans when a dirty blonde caught her eye.
(Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe)
The song had ended but Chikane couldn't believe she what she saw. She'd never seen such a beautiful creature in her entire life. This was the girl she'd been dreaming about her entire life and it think here she was standing in the crowd with that smile. There were no other words to describe this but love at first sight. She thought that if her heart was beating it'd run a mile a minute, and just for a moment she felt like she was alive again. It was as though she was watching the sun for the first time. Just then, Himeko looked up and Chikane almost fell off the stage after realizing she'd been caught red handed. This time it was Corona's turn to raise her eyebrow in question of her friend's odd behavior. The rest of the concert went pretty well even though both musicians had an eye for their own particular person. Just as the concert looked about over Chikane stepped back up to the microphone.
"I know I don't normally sing as much as everyone would like but this is a new song I'd like for you guys to hear especially when it fits the situation right now."
The crowd was practically foaming in the mouth only a few ever get to hear her voice which has been described as a voice of a fallen angel. Soma had brought out the keyboard which brought even more cheers and whistles. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear her sing and play. The crowd immediately went quiet as she started to play the keyboard.
(You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream i do...
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me)
Corona couldn't believe that Chikane would ever do this. She saw what the blue hair rocker saw but it just didn't add up to her. She remembered what Chikane had told when they created this band.
(Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then)
Flashback
"I know we can do anything but if start a band we'll travel the world and meet new people. And I don't know if I sing every once in awhile maybe she'll hear me."
"Who will?" Corona asked never understanding why Chikane had a reason for everything.
"The girl from my dreams."
End flashback
(I look in the mirror and see your face
If i look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me)
Himeko couldn't believe it what was happening. Her face felt hot yet her hands were shaking, it was a cool breezes night but Himeko felt lightheaded. When she heard the song, it was almost as though Chikane was singing just to her but it must have been her imagination. I mean who wants to be with a Lycan princess? Himeko understood what it felt like to be so lonely and to have no one that understood her. Her hands felt little drops of water before she realized she was crying.
Why am I crying? Himeko thought as she wiped the tears away. Fortunately, for her no one had seen her cry or she'd know that Reiko would go into protected mode. She never wanted this concert to end she'd want to stay forever if it was just Chikane playing. Though all dreams must come to an end as the pack left before the crowd did to prevent separation or any possible assassination attacks. Yet the night was still young and anything could happen.
