Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I was extremely busy... _
Chapter 11: Fourth Member of Silhouette has been Found!
Sofia limped down the street, lifeless. She earned some weird stares from passerby strangers who didn't know who she was.
It's all over... My hopes, my dreams, my everything... All I wanted was to be a Prism Star... Was that so hard? All I wanted was to perform Dark Prism Shows by their side... Why was that so hard? She thought to herself.
"BIG NEWS!" a booming voice shouted, snapping Sofia from her thoughts. Loli was standing on a huge platform. "Today is the day of the competition for getting a place in Silhouette! This might be your only chance, so join today! If you want to join now, please sign up here!"
Sofia perked up. Silhouette is holding auditions? she thought to herself. It might not be a normal Prism Team, but they remind me of Lilia-sama... She fist-pumped the air. My dreams aren't completely crushed yet! I still have hope! It's as if I've been pushed this way for a reason! I want to... No, I NEED to, I MUST join Silhouette!
"Anyone else? Last calls!"
"I'D LIKE TO SIGN UP, MA'AM!" Sofia shouted, running up to the front.
Loli scanned her from head to toe. "Aren't you already in a team?"
She shook her head. "No, ma'am, I've been kicked out. And I've decided that Silhouette is even better than STARS!"
Loli smiled. "That's the spirit. Sign your name here then."
Sofia took the paper and signed it. "Thank you so much!"
"Would you like to borrow a Silhouette mask, or do you already have one?"
"I'd like to buy one, ma'am!"
"Are you sure? You could just borrow one for only 500 yen. (That's around $5) Buying a Silhouette mask, however, will cost you 5,000 yen. (Around $50)"
She shook her head. "That's fine," she said, handing her 5,000 yen.
"Here you go," Loli said, handing her a Silhouette mask. "Your room will be Room 101... you're lucky, your room is right next to Silhouette's."
She nodded. "Thank you again, ma'am!" she thanked, as she skipped into the building where the rooms and the competition would be held.
~Later, in Lilia's POV...~
I sighed, extremely bored by the people who had already performed. Faith and Kurai have already chosen their person, while I still didn't know who to choose yet. I became more and more desperate for a person who could satisfy my eye as less and less people were left to compete.
"You'd better hurry up choosing, Lilia, or you'd end up with no one!" Faith warned.
"I know, I know... I'm looking," I muttered, sighing.
"Here's the last contestant... Let's hope she's the one you like," Kurai said.
"Contestant Number 101: Dark Prism Show, START!"
The contestant was wearing a dress, where it had pink ruffle straps, and on the waist, it had a violet flower. It was really not fitting for a Dark Prism Show, yet it was... interesting.
"Little critters come to play with me
All the birdies are singing happily
But don't you also think, that they will
Look prettier they stay still?
"Eerie Splash!" she whispered, as a fog appeared on the stage. I noted how her voice was quiet though, and you could only hear her because of her microphone.
The flowers, red and yellow and blue
I will pick the prettiest ones for you
And make the prefect crown for your head
And now all of the flowers are dead!
"Menacing flower castle!" she whispered, as flowers suddenly grew from the ground, twisting and turning, forming a creepy-looking castle.
Ahaha!
She jumped, and a forest background came up. There were creepy-looking, where the trees looked like they had faces. The trees covered up all sources of light, leaving the place to be very dark and scary. "Sinister Forest!" she whispered.
Vroom vroom!
What a lovely sound this makes!
Cutting everything that is in my wake
But Father says this is not allowed.
So I guess I will stop this for now.
"Hair-Raising Whisper!" she whispered even more quietly, causing shivers down my spine, and I'm sure everyone else felt it too, as visible circle-waves went towards us.
No more critters to play with me
I can no longer hear the birdies' melodies
Well then, Snowball, let's go back inside
I am happy just to be alive!"
"All roses have their thorns..." she whispered, as a lot of large roses grew from the ground. The roses started shooting out thorns. "Rose's Thorns!"
Kurai turned to me. "So...?"
I nodded. "I've made my decision."
"Judges, please announce the person you have chosen."
"Number 5," Faith said.
"Number 22," Kurai said.
"Number 101," I announced.
"Winners, please meet Silhouette in room 100. Thank you."
~Later... Time skip to the day of the next Competition...~
I sighed. Number 101 had been the best, in my opinion, in skill, while Number 22 was the closest person, and Number 5 was just average. The day of the final showdown was today, and everyone was extremely nervous.
~Time to stalk Sofia... :3~
Sofia was still practicing her Dark Prism Shows. I still can't believe I got considered to get into Silhouette... Even though that was my first Dark Prism Show! I must try harder... she thought excitedly.
"Hey Number 101," Number 22 greeted sweetly.
"H-Hi," she stammered.
Number 22 slowly approached me. "See... I believe you are a bit of a problem for me. You're getting in my way of becoming a member of Silhouette... So please back off before things get horrible between us," Number 22 warned, stepping closer to Sofia. "Did anyone ever tell you that your Dark Prism Shows are horrible? They don't even look like the real thing."
Sofia widened her eyes. "Th-That's none of your concern!"
"It is," Number 22 muttered coldly, approaching her. "Dark Prism Stars like you shouldn't even exist. You make Dark Prism Shows sound stupid."
"That's enough," a voice rang out, clear and loud, making them both jump up. They whirled around, and found Lilia standing behind them, hands on her hips. She walked up towards Number 22, and muttered coldly, "It's people like you that make Dark Prism Shows less enjoyable."
"B-But... It wasn't me, it was Number 101! She was threatening me a moment ago!"
"We have security cameras all over the place, so lying is useless. If you're going to keep on doing Dark Prism Shows with an attitude like that, you might as well quit," Lilia retorted.
Kurai walked into the room. "The person who chose you also has the power to disqualify you. I've heard enough to know what type of person you are, Number 22... You are officially disqualified."
Number 22 clenched her fists, and then ran out of the room without saying a word.
~Time for the competition! (Kurai's POV... cause I wanted to change it for once... :P) ~
"Number 5 had ended up with the result of 3,000 karats, and 19 out of 30 points! Due to bad sportsmanship, Number 22 has been eliminated from the competition. Next up will be Number 101." (For this song, I reworded just two or three words so that it would fit... :P)
"Welcome to my world,
That's painted with sadness
There's no light of sun,
There you can't hear any sound at all.
Here I'm waiting silently for yourselves
Why were you so cruel to leave poor Sophie alone?
"Eerie Splash!"
Please take me away,
I desperately promise
To a be a good girl,
To be worthy of your love.
"Menacing flower castle!"
Who are you stranger,
With a red rose in your hand?
I liked you from the first sight,
I wanna be your friend, let's play!
I never asked for this place,
That's called my home
But hope you will be staying with me until the end.
"Sinister Forest!"
Please don't be scared of me,
I'm a good girl
I just want to be with you,
To forget my sorrow.
I'm tired of being the puppet of this world
"Hair-Raising Whisper!"
My tears are falling, oh,
Why is it so painful?
I did nothing wrong, so,
Why do you hate me so much?
This burning canvas became your cruel answer,
So now flames unsparingly kiss me goodnight.
"All roses have their thorns..." she whispered. "Rose's Thorns!"
Welcome to her world that's lying in ashes.
There's a sea of fire,
There is no way to run at all.
She only wanted to be with her loved ones,
But little Sophie is melting in her abyss,
Alone.
"Everyone always pushes me into the dust... I've never really belonged here..." she muttered, as the background turned dark and scary. "I've never really had a chance in anything... I've always been shoved around by other people, so... Please let me have to courage to continue!" The background turned into the Dark Prism World. "Dark Prism Shine!"
"Number 101 has earned 4,500 karats, with a total of 23 favor points out of 30! Number 101 wins! Congratulations, Number 101. Please meet with Silhouette in Room 100, so that you can discuss your stage name there."
~Later, in Sofia's POV...~ (I'm addressing Lilia, Faith, and Kurai in their stage names because Sofia doesn't know who they are yet... :P)
I squealed. I ACTUALLY GOT TO BE A MEMBER OF SILHOUETTE! "This is amazing!" I exclaimed silently. "I've finally been accepted by someone!" I skipped down the hall, into Room 100, humming my own little tune. I stopped short on my humming when I was right in front of the door, and took a deep breath. I slowly turned the doorknob and opened the door, greeted by Silhouette... or should I say my team?
"Welcome, Number 101!" Akuma (aka Lilia) greeted, giving me a thumbs up.
"We haven't fully introduced ourselves yet... And if we're going to be working together, we'll have to know each others identities, right?" Akumu (aka Faith) asked.
"Let's all get rid of our Silhouette masks in the Dark Prism World," Yuki (aka Kurai) suggested.
~We went to our own Dark Prism Machines (Yes, we get our own Dark Prism Machines! Perks of being in Sillhouette, I guess... It's so nice... So much better than STARS...) and met each other at the Dark Prism World...~
My eyes widened as I realized a was face-to-face with Lilia Lee. THE Lilia Lee. The one who created Dark Prism Shows. Holy mothers... This isn't possible, I thought.
Her eyes widened too. "Sofia Moain?!" she exclaimed, clearly surprised.
"You know me?!" I felt so happy that the one and only Lilia Lee knew my name.
"Of course. You're part of STARS. Why are you here?"
"Stella, Trisha, and Rina were telling me to get lost, and I got kicked out of the team..." I said, staring at the floor.
"That's not a nice way to say it... You didn't get kicked out... You quit on them," someone muttered. "I'm Yuki, or Kurai Cross, by the way."
"You're so lucky to perform a Dark Prism Show with Lilia Lee!" I squealed.
She nodded slightly.
"I'm Faith Aeria, or Akumu. Nice to meet you."
"Pick your stage name, Sofia," Lilia said, smiling encouragingly at me.
"Uhhh..." I thought about it for a moment. What's a good name... I asked myself. "Yami!"
Lilia nodded. "Welcome to Silhouette, Yami, or Sofia," she said. "No matter how much you were mistreated in STARS, in here, we're a team, and a team works together.." She put her hand in the middle of all of us.
Faith smiled, and put her hand on top of hers. Kurai rolled her eyes, making a face that clearly said: This is a waste of time... and put her hand on top of Faith's. They all looked at me, and gave me an encouraging smile and nod. I smiled, and put my hand on top of Kurai's.
"SILHOUETTE!" we all cried.
"All members of Silhouette have finally been united... Let us achieve our dreams, and let help others achieve dreams too!" Lilia shouted.
"YEAH!"
