A/N: This chappy is dedicated to my best-friend-foreves, Morgan! Luv ya sister from another mister! Oh, and I own Raven. And her cat. And my IPOD. And my phone. But that's about it. I would suggest listing to the songs while reading this, but whatever. – umm yeah I know I put this on Hitias…. Don't know what possessed me to update this.
She turned her head to me. "I forgot that tonight is Karaoke night. Hope you know how to sing."
Shit. The last time I sang was when I was well… around six, with my dad and older brother, and hell even that wasn't really singing, just kinda screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs. So yeah, I was basically screwed. Just. Great. We walked into an amphitheater, that had a half-circle of benches, tiered so that you could see the stage. The stage was fairly large, with a DJ off to the left corner and a small T.V. screen, faced to the stage so that the singer could read it. The speakers were hidden from sight, but I suspect you could find them behind the velvety red curtains. My rambling thoughts were cut off by the sound of my new-youngest-brother, who jumped through the middle of the curtains, turning the stage alive with multi-colored lights.
"Heeeeeeey, all you demigods! Welcome to karaoke night here at Camp-Half Blood!" Rory was wearing khaki shorts and a forest green collard shirt, and in his hand he had a microphone. "Please keep in mind the rules, 1: Not everybody has to sing' I let out a small sigh of relief, "except for new campers," Damn, you whoever put me in this hellhole. "and that means you sis." He winked at me and I growled and crossed my arms. He laughed, before starting again. "2: Please be nice, no cursing, booing, or anything of that sort, and 3: have fun." With a wink he picked out the fist singer, and surprise, surprise, it was Soliel. She had her blonde hair into a high pony tail, and she had on a shimmering hot pink off-the-shoulder top, with a lilac tank top under it. On her long legs were jean shorts that went mid-thigh, and pink stilettos that glittered. She sauntered over to the DJ, and whispered her song in to his ear. He nodded, and she walked into the center of the stage, her blue eyes gleaming with confidence (and sparkly make up). Rory said the tital, off to the right side. "Better that Revenge, by Taylor Swift, sung by our very own Soliel, daughter of Apollo. The music started off with a background voice, and the lights dimmed. (A/N: background voices will be in parentheses, *and movements will be in stars like this* :D)
(Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did)
Ha,
Ha,ha
(Time for a little revenge)
*The stage then lit up, reveling Soliel in the middle, with her hands clasping the microphone.*
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer, and I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him.
*she walked over to the right side of the stage, in beat with the music.*
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause,
*she put up her right hand, in a STOP motion*
She took him faster than you could say sabotage.
*she let her right hand down, and walked to the other side of the stage, and stood there, with one hand on her hip, the other holding the mic, and a What-the-hell expression on her face.*
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it.
I underestimated just who I was dealing with.
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum.
She underestimated just who she was stealing from.
*she stalked over to the middle of the stage and turned. So she was glaring, much to my surprise, at Lindsey.*
She's not a saint and she's not what you think,
She's an actress,
Wo-ah…
But she's better know for the things that she does on the mattress,
Wo-ah…
Soon she's gunna find, stealing other peoples toys on the playground wont make you many friends,
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge.
*she winked, and made her way to the very front of the stage, where there was a stand, and she put her microphone in it so she didn't have to carry it.*
She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm psycho, `cause I like to rhyme her name with things
(Lindsey, strippsy, whimsy)
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you want to go
Oh, they didn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dress gets you dignity
*By now she had grabbed the microphone, and was backing up, al most halfway up the stage and still not missing a beat.*
She's not a saint and she's not what you think,
She's an actress,
Wo-ah…
But she's better know for the things that she does on the mattress,
Wo-ah…
Soon she's gunna find, stealing other peoples toys on the playground wont make you many friends,
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge.
*she was now backed up against the back curtain, when she started to make her way back down, taking one step at each beat."
I'm just another thing for you to roll, your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven't you heard?
I'm just another thing for you to roll, your eyes at honey
You might have him but, I always get the last w-o-r-d
W-o-a-h.
(No, can't take that? come on)
(she was now putting her microphone into the stand)
She's not a saint and she's not what you think,
She's an actress,
Wo-ah…
But she's better know for the things that she does on the mattress,
Wo-ah…
Soon she's gunna find, stealing other peoples toys on the playground wont make you many friends,
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge.
Do you sill fell like you know what you're doing?
Cause I don't think you do
(no,no,no)
Oh, Do you sill fell like you know what you're doing?
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
Lets hear the applause
*she then put both her hands up and started clapping to the beat*
Come on show me how much better you
(so much better, yeah)
*by now almost everyone was clapping along with her*
So you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
*With both of her hands she made a half circle, stop motion, and everyone stopped clapping*
She took her better than you could say sabotage
The song ended with her head bowed and her clasping her hands, and then the lights turned off. When they turned back on, she way straightened up, and smiling at the audience, with Rory right beside her. He was speaking in to the microphone, which she was now holding loosely with her right hand.
"Well, that had to be one of the best performances that we've seen all year!" The audience erupted into wild applause. Soliel gave a slight grin and bowed before snatching the microphone back from Rory.
"I would also like to dedicate this song to one of my very close friends." she said with about as much sarcasm as single person could handle.
Rory's eyes widened slightly, and he broke into a nervous grin. "Well, folks I think this about raps it up-" he was cut of by an even louder Soliel, who was looking pointedly at Lindsey.
" Lindsey, honey, I think we all know that you're a bitch. You walked into my perfect relationship, and stole him from me, and oh, I said it was ok, that things happen, it was a mistake. But hon, I got over him, but I never got over how you think you can walk around, and take other peoples possessions." She drooped the microphone in to Rory's out stretched hands, his mouth was opened into a little 'O' of shock. Soliel sauntered off the stage, fully aware of everyone that was staring at her in shock. She just simply sat down in her seat and politely looked at Rory.
Lindsey stood up, with tears in her eyes and ran to her cabin with her 'followers', well following her. Rory seemed to snap out of his trance and ran to the center of the stage.
"So after that… entertaining performance by Soliel we are going to have a new person sing, Aaron come on down!" I watched as boy around 16 stood up and walked to the stage. He was wearing a grey beanie, with a dark grey tee shirt with gold Chinese looking letters on it and ripped up jean walked on stage. I politely held my interest while he started to sing Secrets by One Republic.
I waited before the music was loud enough to drown my words before I bent down to hiss in Echo's ear. "What the hell was that?"
She turned her head towards me in amusement. "What Soliel's performance?"
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Soliel's performance. Can you tell me what happened, to make her sing that song, to Lindsey of all people in this world?"
"Well… I could but-"
I cut her off. "Echo."
She smirked at me. "Once upon a time Soliel was in love with a person, believe it or not. So during this love another person, Lindsey, fell in love with the same man. Said man fell in love girls, but kept his love a secret from Soliel. So one day when our favorite-" at this I snorted. "Daughter of Apollo came upon the two kissing in the woods. But instead of being mad, she became very sad that her love had died. Then she grew vengeful at Lindsey, plotted her revenge and this is what grew out of the vengefulness"
I sat back in my chair and let out a low whistle. "Damn. So did she ever get over that boy?"
"She said she did, but no one believes her. He was… special to her."
"Who was that dude anyway." I asked, still curious.
She gave me a wolfish look. "Jake, son of Hecate."
I sat up. "Whoa… like Jake, my new half brother Jake."
She nodded. "The very same."
I slouched back in my chair. "Damn" I murmured before watching Hayden sing Won't Back Down by Johnny Cash. I fell asleep in my chair that night.
************************************************************************Ehehehe… Please don't kill me! So yeah I put this story on Hitais. Why? My dad got a promotion and I uprooted from my friends in the south to Chicago. So moving is a pain in the ass and I couldn't write, putting this story on Hitias. But now I'm settled, I might have the chance to actually finish this story. Don't know, depends who's still willing to stick with me. Review to let me know who's still out there.
