Devil on the Doorstep

Another fic finished… this is my longest to date! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of DOTD… and the rest of the Phantom Series; namely, This Curse You See Before You (The doomed love story of Bryoni and Seth), Sixteen Candles (A Vampire story using Seth, Dracula from Dracula 2000 and Erik from POTO), Keep It In The Family (A GX fic, where Seth is forty nine) and The Phantom's Children (A post G-Rev fic… featuring Brooklyn and Garland!) And just to clarify things – this chapter is set two months after G-Rev.

Devil on the Doorstep; Chapter XX: Epilogue

"Are you sure this is the right house?" Tyson asked Ray. The house in question was big –very big – but seemed that the very rafters were shaking with the volume of music that was playing.

"And what would nice young people such as yourselves want with the folks in Genius House?" An old woman asked, stopping by the gate.

"Umm… Our friend… He lives here…" Max stammered.

"Somehow, I doubt that." A familiar voice came as someone stepped up the path.

"Garland!" A blonde boy looked slightly shocked. "Is the word nice not in your vocabulary?" He asked, giving the tall silvery haired blader a playful shove.

"Jesse, have you been getting shoving lessons from Bryan again?"

"Nope, that's Brendon. I get mine from Queen."

"And I think you get something else from Queen as well!" A black haired boy called teasingly from a top storey window.

"I'm going to get you Brendon Urie!" Jesse shook a fist at the closed window.

"Hang on a minute…" Tyson trailed off. Garland raised an eyebrow as he unlocked the door.

"Yes?" He asked as he rummaged in the cupboard. "Aha! The power switch!" The music turned off instantly.

"I'm going to KILL you, Garland Seabalt!" Bryan yelled.

"Why are you living with Kai and Bryan and… Queen? And isn't Brendon Urie the lead singer of Panic! At The Disco? And isn't he Jesse McCartney?" Tyson pointed to Jesse.

"(1) We go to school together, this is a dormitory. (2) Yes. (3) Yes."

"How the hell do you know Brendon Urie and Jesse McCartney?" Ray growled. Garland opened two bottles of J2O and spun one at Jesse.

"You forgot Emmy Rossum and Ryan Ross." Kai said from behind.

"Well? How do you know them?"

"Umm… Emmy because…" Kai pushed his hair out of his eyes. "We had to help with the Phantom film, they weren't getting the right atmosphere or something… and the others because… we sing, they sing."

"You sing?" Tyson smirked.

"Actually, it's more drums for me." Kai grabbed a bottle of J2O. "Bryan's the singer…"

"Kai!" Someone yelled from… below the ground. "Will you switch the bloody lights on?" Kai grinned and pushed the power switch.

"Sure thing, Queen."

-

Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?

-

"So… you aren't coming back?" Hilary said in disappointment. Kai rolled his eyes.

"No. I am not coming back." Bryan and Tala slipped in from the next room. Bryan had lavender hair again.

"Are you coming?" The lavender haired boy snapped.

"Queen is going mental." Tala added. "She says that your costumes haven't even been started!"

"Costume?" Ray looked at Kai.

"Never mind. Tell her I'm coming."

"Kai. You can go with them if you want." Seth opened his good eye.

"I don't want to, Dad. I'm a Phantom's Child." Kai stood up.

"We better go. We have a plane to catch." With a parting glare at Bryan, Ray and the Bladebreakers swept out.

"And to think…" Seth mused. "It all started with a little devil on the doorstep…"

See the devil on the doorstep now, my oh my…

-

There is a flame that never dies, even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise…
