Kassandra POV-
"A Stradivarius!" I shouted happily. "I cant believe I actually get to hold one!" I shouted as I showed the violin to Tara.
"hold it? No no, you get to play it, my dear." said blood. I ran up to him as I held the precious item to my chest.
"I can play it! are you serious?" I looked at the sleek black body of the violin as I took hold of the bow. I went up to tara as she sat at the piano.
(if you wanna listen to the songà .com/watch?v=UcXXpssBFVM&feature=related)
"Melancholy?" I whispered. She nodded. She placed her fingers on the keys and began the slow start. Fingers moving gracefully across the keys as if they weren't even there. I looked at blood and could see he was pleasantly surprised. Nodding his head he grinned. She continued to play as I waited for my queue. I stared at the Stradivarius in my hands and soon realized that I was shaking. I always wanted to play one of these. Then I realized it was nearing my part. I set the violin .We smiled at each other as I took a breath and drew the bow across the strings. It was amazing! The sound was so clear! I smiled the widest smile ever and focused on my playing. Moving the bow up and down, I was actually afraid to play it! I was scared that I would make a mistake and put this most amazing instrument to shame. NO! it thought. I can not let it get the better of me! Up, down, up, down, press, release, press, release. I focused on my breathing and the pressure of my fingers on the strings. I slowly started to imagine we were back on stage again as the band played quietly in the background. Finnaly nearing the crescendo of the song It got faster and closed my eyes, oblivious to the new occupants in the room. Elliot had found his way down one of the halls when he heard the piano. Thinking nothing of it he continued until he heard a violin. Entering the music room he saw blood who, from the looks of it, was extremely shocked, and the two girls that had gone crazy. Shortly after the twins arrived hearing the music and wanting to know where it was coming from. Unconsciously I had turned away from the 4 that were there. They gaped. Soon after many of the maids that had passed by had heard the music too and stopped to listen. Soon there were about 12 people in the room and no one dared to make a sound. The song came to the next rise in the music and was so surprise when I realized I hadn't messed up at this certain part. The part I ALWAYS got wrong. It was so odd. My eyes fluttered open as I stared in shock at the violin. Playing like I was possessed. I never got that part right. So why now? I looked over to tara who had her eyes closed still playing away like a proffesional. Wait we are professionals. Oh dang. here comes the part she always messes up in… what? Tara's eyes fluttered open and she stared in shock at the instument. It was so suprising…. How could we have suddenly gotten better? Unless… no no… It couldn't be… I would have to ask tara later. The song came to its end slowely. We staired at each other as we began ending te song. It was so odd. We had never gon through this song without making a mistake before. Suddenly I became really happy. I beemed and grined a grin the Cheshire cat would be jealous of. This was amazing. The song began to slow down to the part the piano cut off and it was just the violin. Tara turns around and turns pale. I don't dare see what she's looking at. If I do, ill end a perfect song. Up ,down, down, up. I pulled the last few notes and finished gracefully.
"tara," I said not turning around.
"yeah?" she answered.
"do I want to see who is behind me?"
"maybe." she said shortly. I sighed. Slowey I turn around and see over adozen maids and 4 very shocked role holders. Eventualy someone starts an aplause. Chearing is heard and the shuffling of feet as the maids lef the room.
"oh my god." elliot said out loud. All four role holders just stared at us. I turned to tara with a grin on my face.
"dude! You did it! You didn't mess up on that last part!" I grinned.
"you too! We finnaly had a perfect run! our first perfect run!" she quealed. We high fived each other and spun around before finally giving our signature peace signs.
"here blood." I said handing him the violin. "I just want to say thank you for letting me use it, and I was wondering if you knew how old that violin is?" he shook his head. I was a little surprised at this. I mean, it is his violin. So I took it back and examined the markings.
"Stradivari violin are very rare. They date back to the 17th century. But it looks as though…. This violin is over 300 years old! How have you kept it so well kept?" I asked. I was dying to know, but before I could get an answer I turned around and went over to tara.
"tara. I know you know something about that piano. What did you find out?"
"it's a Fazoli. Very expensive, very hard to find. Half of these instruments in here are the rarest of there kind. Its insane." tara said quietly.
"I know. I don't even understand how in heck he could have a three hundred year old violin. Three hundred years old!" I said. "maybe we should ask them about this." I said. I turned to ask blood with tara right at my heels.
"do you play any instruments? I asked. Blood looked at me cautiously.
"no" he said. That was all I needed.
"so then what gives? Why all the instruments? I could under stand… if they weren't all rare. That piano is a Fazoli. That violin is a Stradivarius. It makes no since." I said.
"my parents were musicians. My father a pianist, my mother a violinist. I would like to ask you both if you would like to come with me to the amusement park. I have some… unfinished business to take care of there." blood said cooly smirking at the plan brewing in his head.
"sure" we said at the same time. It was an amusement park. What could go wrong?
