That night Erik had just climbed into his coffin and was so close to sleep he could almost taste it. when

it happened.

An explosion of music erupted. He sat up in horror. And dashed out of the room. Only to find Amanda and Lauren sitting in the music room, Amanda playing her violin. How in the holy name of good things holy did she find it? And Lauren on her fiddle. They where glaring at each other and playing fast and furiously. It sounded like Beethoven. He stood there and glared till they noticed. Which was quite some time.

"Yes?" Amanda asked.

"May I ask what you are doing?"

"Having a duel."

"I see."

"wanna be on my side!" Amanda asked

"What?"

"We'll win if you play on my side."

"I can take you both!" Lauren mussed Checking the strings on her violin.

"we'll see." Erik said leaving the room and returning with his violin. He put it to his chin and pointed the his bow at Lauren

"Losers first" he mussed. Lauren Glared but began a fast song that he never heard before but soon memorized it. The song rose and fell and grew faster then fell a little slower. Amanda smiled, and she and Erik began to play, Erik soon got the song down so he sped the tempo up. Amanda matched it perfectly. Lauren soon followed. It was Lauren's turn she added a few chords in here and there. The two matched it again. Erik then walked over to the organ and began to play there. They went on and on. Making it faster and slower. Adding things and taking them away. After twenty minutes of playing one of Laurens strings snapped .

"Oh cheese" she cursed panting, and went to her case to fetch another.

"Does this mean we win?" Erik asked.

"Yeah."

"where did you find the violin?"

"In the chest over there. I knew you had it."

"the chest was locked."

"Nothings locked when Laurens around"

"I see"

Lauren walked back in with her fiddle case, and sat down in a chair and began to fiddle with the strings.

"soooo.." began Amanda

"what do you want to do tomorrow?"

"What have we done the past couple days we've been here? Besides sit around and mope?"

"welcome to my world." Erik said sighing.

"well..." Lauren said.

"My hair is getting brown roots.. we could go get it redyed?"

"we could." said Amanda

"Mandi you would look cool with white hair! Nono RED!"

"You know... I think not. But I was thinking about getting a double piercing."

"Yeah! Also we could get matching tattoos!"

"TOTALLY!" Screached Amanda.

"Erik, wanna come?"

"Whats a tattoo?"

"Ummm... Its a form of art!" Lauren said. Amanda elbowed her.

"really?"

"yeah,"

"this I must see!"

"soooo you are coming?" said Amanda

"you mean.. leave?"

"yeah,"

"Umm well. You see. I am rather busy tomorrow, and-"

"Oh stop it!"Lauren said

"You have no life! Lets go out tomorrow and enjoy ourselves!"

"But won't people think its odd that I wear a mask?"

"thought of that" Amanda said she went into the other room and came back with two boxes. Handing one to Lauren she opened her own.

"wicked!" Lauren yelped as she opened her. There in their laps lay A full black mask. Lauren's was decorated with a lone white wolf running though the wind. The wind passed all along the edge of the left side. Amanda's mask had a single perfect red rose in full bloom. On the right side. One of the petals fell down below the eye like a tear.

Erik just sighed.

"This helps how?"

"well.." Amanda said.

"Now everyone will think its just a statement."

"I see."

Amanda pouted her lower lip. Lauren made her green eyes super big and glassy and batted her eyelashes. Erik thought they looked too pathetic...

"alright." he sighed. Then covered his ears as the girls squealed.
