CHAPTER 1: THE FIRST PRACTICE!!!

Molly's POV

It's been 2 days since the orchestra list was put up and I've been in a good mood ever since. Of course there has been something bugging me and it wasn't just the fact that I had to share 1st chair with Chase.

"MOLLY!!!!" "Huh?!" I said tripping over my sickle. I was in my field doing my usual morning work.

"I think you gave this plant enough water…" Finn said brushing the dirt off my face.

I apparently drenched the turnip in water while in my deep train of thought...

"Sorry, wasn't paying attention." I said as I quickly got up, grabbed the watering can, and continued along the row of vegetables.

"A little excited huh?" Finn said. "Excited for what?" I asked hoping I didn't forget anything.

"Hello?! Your first rehearsal is tomorrow!" Finn said getting the same expression he gets whenever I forget something that's very important and remember really stupid details.

"Oh gosh, yeah, I almost forgot!" I said "No dip Sherlock!" Finn said turning around, arms crossed.

"You have to get one more crop to Ruth so we can ring the Yellow Bell, and it doesn't look like any of them will be done until tomorrow so I say we should make a pl… what's with the smirk?" Finn said looking at me after that long speech.

"Well I may have… maybe I…perhaps…" I said trying to bring anticipation into the conversation. "WHAT IS IT??!!" Finn screamed breaking my ear drums. "Ok, ok, I woke up early yesterday and found one of the crops that we needed was ready so I picked it, but I was too busy to go to Ruth's yesterday and I knew you would want to go right away if I told you so…" "YOU INFIDEL!!!!!" Finn screamed in my face as I was ending.

"Geez you don't have to scream! We can go right now!" I said shoving him off my shoulder and starting to walk to Flute Fields.

"She can be such a pain sometimes…" Finn started to say until I caught him.

"Hey I heard…" I started until I walked into a certain peached hair young man.

"Molly." Chase said looking down. "Chase, not to intrude but are you okay?" I said but as soon as I did I got a certain pain in my head and throat.

What was wrong with me?

Chase's POV

"Chase, not to intrude but are you okay?" Molly said and as soon as she did I could tell something was wrong with her. She looked weak and not herself.

"I should be asking you the same question. Also who were you talking to a minute ago?"

"Uhh no one! What ever gave you that idea?!" She said quickly. She's hiding something.

"So excited for tomorrow?" I said forgetting about my headache and my suspicions.

"Oh yeah…how are we gonna share a chair?" We both laughed but immediately stopped at the same time…odd…

"Anyways, I'm on my way to Marimba farm so I'm kind of in a rush so…" she started but I stopped her. "I understand but I was heading home myself…not feeling well, ya know…" I took another look at her face, she was very pale… "Maybe you should go home too, you don't look well."

"Oh… I'm fine…really! I'll go relax after I do what I have to!" She said. Though pale and weak, still full of spunk…that's what I like about her…

"Well…because I'm going home can I walk with you?" I asked, I mean my head was pounding like timpani drum…no more like a bass…I was afraid I was gonna pass out!

"Yeah I guess. I'd honestly be happy if you did." She said as she started walking forward.

I just stared at her wondering why she would be happy to walk with me…I mean ME?! Ah well she is quite lonely, I mean she has plenty of friends but…I don't know… I've only ever heard of her sisters Angela, Chelsea, Jill, and Claire and her brothers Kevin, Mark, Kasey, and Pete. But then again…they're not really blood relatives, well besides her and Kasey, they were taken in at a foster home and stayed there for quite sometime, until collage actually. But odd enough, Molly doesn't remember her parents. I've asked Kasey when he was in town a few months ago but he said he didn't know and said they were cousins, not twins. They got used to being called twins though because they look so alike. Also when they were young they didn't talk much…how do I know this you may ask…this was what I learned after 1 afternoon with Molly in our first couple days of meeting.

"Are you coming?" She yelled behind her. She was way far in front.

"Oh yeah sorry…was kinda in a daze there." I said as I started to walk behind her eventually catching up.

Molly's POV

The walk to the heart of Flute fields seemed long and silent. Chase looked like he was in pain, constantly looking for a tree to help him stand. Whenever I would ask if he was okay he would just say "Yeah…nothing to be concerned about."

He was so persistent.

We finally got to Marimba Farm and Chase's house after what seemed like ages.

"Ok if you feel really sick don't be afraid to go to the clinic!" I said to the sickly chase that looked even worse then earlier. "Yes mother…" He said intending to offend me.

"Don't back sass me Mr.!" I decided to keep the joke running longer. We both laughed but stopped at the same time to cough…weird…

"You should go get some rest now Chase…" I said looking at his house. It was very nice and relaxing. I've been in it several times to visit Chase on his off days.

"And you promise me that once you're done doing what you need to, you go strait home alright?" Chase said wagging his finger at me. "Yes father…" I said to follow up on his parent joke.

"Ha-ha…well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then…" Chase said looking out to where he could see the top of the church.

"Yeah… I guess so. Well bye Chase. Get better!" I said with a sincere grin. To be quite honest I wasn't happy nor upset that we had to share 1st chair. It was a neutral feeling I couldn't identify.

"Yeah bye Molly." Chase said turning to his house and going inside.

When I knew the coast was clear I turned to Finn and said "Let's go ring that bell Finn!"

"And to think you've forgotten. Ok!" Finn said as we went into the farm house.

Ruth was happy to tell us where the bell was and after an uncomfortable scene with Craig, it was time to ring the bell!

As the melody rang through the land my headache calmed for a bit but started up again once it was over.

Collin thanked us and we returned to my farm. I immediately ran to my bed and fell asleep but instead of going to dreamland, my slumber was full of nightmares.

Dream Sequence:

A dark figure approached from the shadows.

"What do you want with me?! With us?!" Molly said as the cut on her cheek bleed ever so terribly.

"You know what I want. I want the world and you're the only one with the power to do it" The dark figure said staying in the shadows.

Chase was speechless; he just watched the blood drain from Molly's cheek, whatever he tried…nothing worked…

The dark figure drew his sword and pointed it at Molly. Just as he was about to walk into the moonlight…

Molly's POV

"AAAHHHH!!!!!!!" I screamed as I awoke from my slumber. I was still in my clothes and didn't know where I was. It took me minutes to realize I was at my house with Chase and Jin standing over my bed.

"What happened?" I asked still half asleep. "Well I was feeling better so I came and checked on you to see if you were alright. The door was open so I walked in to find you crashed on the bed. I was about to leave when I noticed you were sweating. I felt your head and you were burning up. That's when I called Jin. That's when you started tossing and turning and grunting and…well you know the rest."

"Is it Monday morning or is it still Sunday?" I asked.

"Monday." Jin said looking at his clip board. "I came and checked on you this morning." Chase followed.

"Well…thanks for your concern but I think I'm fine now…" I said. I defiantly don't want to tell them about the dream.

"I left you a new medicine called "Tylenol" on the counter" Jin said, "It's a new medicine from the city."

"Thanks. But if you do excuse me, I have to get ready for rehearsal today." I said shooing them out the door.

"Alright, but if you need anything, I'll have my medical bag with me at practice!" Jin said. "Okay then… bye you guys and thanks again." I said and with that they were off.

Finn looked at me with wide eyes. "I think you should tell me what happened Molly…"

I told him everything. I knew I could trust Finn with my life.

"All of that in a dream? Wow…hmm could've been just a bad dream…" Finn said thinking. "Yeah…but it felt like more… anyways I have to get ready!" I said rushing to get showered , dressed and farm taken care of; I was roughly there around 6:50.

Flute was assembled, Book was ready, chair was comfy, I was ready. Perry helped us find our seats. It turned out that I would sit in the first chair seat with Chase on my right and no one to my left.

By 7:00 everyone was there, tuned and ready.

When Mr. Caid the director came out, he wasn't anything like I expected. He was tall, had blond hair and wore really cool sunglasses. He was actually pretty young, maybe 3yrs older then me.

"All right everyone, I'm Mr. Caid, and I'll be your director for those of you that are new to our program. Lets starts with some warm up and continue on with a favorite song of mine we'll be playing at our first concert…whenever that will be." He said the last part under his breath. He had a somewhat boyish tone. We did some really easy warm-ups and he had Perry pass out the song.

"Contredanse was a dance they used to do in old time France and was later developed in America. This is a song attributed to it. It has a very nice beat to it as well." He said. I could tell he was excited about it.

It was quite catchy and I loved the part the flutes had. We had the melody from most of the song.

Practice got over roughly around 9:00.

As we were putting away our things, we heard something terrible.

"EVERYONE!! HELP!!!" Hamilton said as he burst into the church. "SIMON'S TRAPPED UNDER A CART!!!"

Hmm interesting huh? *Yawn* 1:17 am…ah well I was in the creative process! The part about the cart…idk I was thing LeFleet from Les Miz getting trapped under the cart for some odd reason… anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I wanted to thank Tigerlili242 for being my first reviewer and Anime Girl (sry 4got # combination) for help on some of the instrumental stuff like who was gonna play what. Also for those who would like to know how I know Contredanse for those who know what it is, I'm playing it in band. Anyways that's it I'm tired now so BYEZ!! AND MERRY BIRTHDAY!!!
