Angel of Music
angel of music, I denied you
turning from true beauty
There are so many wonders about a fire.
It's just the question if those wonders are positive or negative.
First, you have the colors of the flames. One would almost say beautiful when they would witness those all-destroying flames. Smooth orange and yellow - sometimes even red. They merge in one explosion of fierce colors and you'd say it's spectacular if a fire wasn't destroying.
Second, there's the sound it makes. It knispers. And when it's just a small fire, it's okay. Maybe you sing songs, next to a campfire. The coziness of a fire knispering in the background is a sound practically anyone could get used to. But then you remember a fire knispering isn't always a good thing.
But then third, you've got the smoke. Either if it's a small flame or a huge fire, you'll have smoke. With a small flame it's okay, but with a fire, there's thick, black smoke. Suffocating smoke. Smoking's a killer, they say. And really, that could not be more true.
And then lastly, there's the victims. Because big, huge, gigantic fires almost never go by without someone hurt. Whether it's your house that you've lost, or the burned flesh that you now have, or you're just watching the news and hear how many victims there were and a tiny piece of your heart dies, you're hurt in some kind of way. There's just no way around it.
There are so many wonders about a fire.
Too bad you can't control any of them.
Smoke. Smoke. Smoke. All she sees is smoke.
And then in the middle of all the smoke, there's flames. There's flames everywhere, different shapes, different colors and different sizes. Every way they go, they feel their feet getting almost burned when they're walking to close to a flame.
Once they made it back into Stevie's dressing room, things just start getting worse. They're both sweaty and they're both exhausted from running in the burning heat that is the fire in the Royal Theatre.
And in the back of her head, Stevie allows herself to think about what happened in the past few minutes. They were rehearsing, and they were hugging, and then suddenly-
Zander pulls her away, out of her thoughts, ans just in time, because the mirror / door collapses to where she was standing a second ago. He pulls her out of her dressing room, and they get into the hallways where everybody is panicking and running around like maniacs. There's people crying and screaming and yelling for help, but they don't get what they're begging for. Stevie sees an old woman with a cross necklace silently praying.
Suddenly, she feels the pressure on her wrists lowering, and Zander turns around to face her. Just by seeing the look on his face, she understands what he's feeling: he's out in public again, after all those years. He just looks at her with this weird look upon his face, regaining eyecontact.
The next thing he does would be something that would fit perfectly in some terribly cheesy life-time original movie.
Their lives are in danger, and they should be running for their lives, but he steps up to her and kisses her.
She's caught by surprise, of course, given the circumstances, and it's over before she knows it. She looks at him, slightly - no actually let's just say really - confused.
It is then that she hears a loud scream behind her and she sees pieces of the ceiling starting to collapse. She turns around, facing the source of the scream, and then she sees it.
A dead body.
She can't see whose body it is, because it's burned.
But it's the combination of that body, the kiss, the heat and the fire that makes her vision go black and her body collapse to the floor.
I'm publishing this a day early because tomorrow I won't have time to do so and I figured a day earlier is better than a day too late.
I am so terribly sorry about the shortness of this chapter, but I have to end it here because I already have next chapter totally planned and everything :D.
And yay! They kissed! Hope you enjoyed the Zevie! What'll happen next? Dunn dunn dunnnn...
The lyric at the top is from the song Wandering Child.
