Chapter 7-In The Darkness Is The Light
Carey sat in the park across from the hotel they were staying at. He sat with his guitar in his lap and a sheet of music in his hand. He was looking over the music for "Kiss Me If I'm Dreaming". Misty was on her way to the bus when she spotted Carey sitting in the park. "Hello Carey, I was just looking for you." Carey cringed when he heard the voice. "Hi Misty." He said not bothering to look up at her. "That's no way to greet a girlfriend." Misty said slighting mad. "Listen Misty, we're not a couple. We had a fling. I love Ally. And now if you'll excuse me I have a date with her in a few minutes." Carey said getting up and brushing past her. Misty was desperate. She had to stop them from getting back together and he wouldn't look at her what could she do? "Carey, let me look into your eyes one more time. Please." Misty pleaded. Carey, being too nice for his own good, turned around and became helpless under her spell. "Carey, let's go back to the bus." Misty said leading him towards the bus. "Yes, mistress." Carey said in a zombie-like voice. They went into the bedroom he shared with Clu and Jack. She pushed him down on the bed and attacked his lips with her own. "If this doesn't kill Ally, I don't know what will." Misty thought to herself. She paused their intense makeout session to take off his shirt and unbutton her own. Then she went back to his lips.
MEANWHILE
I walked onto the bus looking for Carey. He had told me that he would meet me outside. I saw Annie sitting on the couch. "Ally!" She said enthusiastically. She quickly embraced me. "Are you and Carey together again?" "I hope so. Where's Clu? I thought you two were inseparable." I asked looking around. "Oh, he and Jack went to the arcade. I decided to sit that one out. So how about you? Are you here to see Carey?" "Yeah, I am. Do you know where he is?" "I think he's in his room. The door's closed." I looked towards the closed door. "Thanks Annie. I'll talk to you later." I walked towards the door. My stomach telling I didn't want to go in, that I should turn around and leave. But I went with my head and I opened the door and the sight behind it broke my heart. The sight my gut knew was coming. "Carey?" I said in barely a whisper. The sound of my voice was all it took to break the spell. Carey bolted upright throwing Misty onto the floor. That's when he saw it, the black diamond around her neck. He ripped it off her neck and she screamed. "No! Not my necklace!" She lunged at Carey and he threw the necklace to me. "Ally, destroy it! It's the source of her power!" Carey said trying to wrestle her off him. I was totally and utterly confused but I did was he said. I dropped the necklace to the floor and I smashed the diamond. "NO!" She screamed out almost in pain! She crumbled to the floor. Carey ran over to me. Suddenly a blinding flash of light filled the room. Then a strong gust of wind broke out in the room. Carey grabbed onto me and held me in his strong arms. Before we knew it was over and all that was left was a tiny crumpled figure in the middle of the room. She was very pale with light brown hair, shoulder length, and blue eyes. She was scarily thin and tears were streaming down. She looked very familiar. "Melissa? Melissa Hopson?" I asked finally putting a face to a name. I walked over to her putting a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged my hand off violently. "Yes. Melissa. The girl who no one cared about. Not even her own boyfriend. Then there's innocent Ally. The pretty little Drama Queen who everyone loved. Poor little Ally who lost her mother to cancer. Obviously Tommy felt a little to sorry for you. And you took advantage of that and stole him from me." Melissa said between sobs. "Tommy Watkins? I couldn't stand him. He drooled over me all the time and I wouldn't give him the time of day. Then he told me he dumped you for me and I told him off. I thought he went back to you after that." "Say what you want but I know the truth. You're just a lying whore." Annie had called the police and they had arrived just as she finished her sentence. The police took her out of the bus and towards the police car and Carey and I followed them out. "I'm sorry for everything, Ally." I just looked into his eyes. "It wasn't your fault." Then he reached down and pressed his lips to mine. The kiss said everything we couldn't say with words. Our kiss was broken up by Melissa screaming at us. "Don't think it'll last. I won't let you be happy. I'll be back and you'll be sorry! Mark my words!" Then she was pushed into the police car.
