==================================================
He walked to the stage. Time was running out. He walked straight up to her and cleared his throat to get her attention.
There was barely anyone still there so she was perfectly able to hear him.
Everyone was getting out of the club and onto their own lives all over again. They wouldn't bother noticing one over excited fan going to speak with the singer of one of the most popular bands in town at this moment.
Too bad, of course, this meant that that very band wouldn't be popular for long. Short lived fame. One hit wonders. Where had they gone to would be the thing people who would remember this night fondly would wonder. No one would ever know the real answer.
First, he was going to infect her with demonic powers. Then, those powers would destroy her slowly. At first, she would barely notice then her mind would scatter a bit and then her body would start to kill itself. Humans had never accepted demonic powers in their bodies well. She wouldn't be the successful one.
Along with her body slowly killing itself, Norxous would be after her. He would realize what Conrad had done and then he would go after her and kill her off. Then, he would take his rightful powers for himself. All would be well in the demon world again and Conrad would have shifted into another human being and would never be caught by Norxous.
She turned to see who it was behind her clearing his throat and saw him. He saw an expression of complete indifference towards him cross her face, but then she rethought whatever had caused that feeling. She didn't know who he was, but she seemed to expect him to be a fan so she came to the end of the stage to stand above him.
"Hi." she replied nervously.
Obviously she wasn't used to fans coming up to her and talking with her like this. He smiled at her. He made sure his teeth didn't show because he didn't want her to get carried away by the repulsing look of his teeth. As he did he stared at her black chipped toenail polish on her toes.
He had a feeling that she was the type of person who wholly went for outward appearances and not the insides of people. Damn prep, he thought. It would be her downfall. His smile widened without exposing his teeth yet as she bent down to hear what he had to say to her.
He looked up at her where she was knelt two inches above him on the stage. Her clear blue eyes looked down into his and her long dirty blond hair cascaded around her in what seemed like rays of light. She was waiting for him to speak to her.
She didn't know what to expect from him and she wanted to finish what she had been doing before. He had sensed that as he watched her. A few other movements showed that she wanted to get this over and done with because she felt wired around him. Even now, she could tell he was alittle off with his intentions about her.
That was fine. Let her be weirded out by him a little. He knew that a few nice compliments thrown into the conversation would start her on his side of things. He knew by then he would be able to sneak in his touch to the whole meeting and then she would be done for. All because he could transfer the stolen powers of Norxous's that he was hording right now and no one would be the wiser.
She had a right to feel weird around him. He was her death. She was entertaining death right now and she didn't even know it. Poor human.
It was times likes these that made him feel just a little bit bad for humans being so damned careless in believing the world was a wonderful place that was magic free.
"You and your band did very well tonight. I especially loved your last song." he told her.
She smiled a little more at ease now that she knew he was only a fan and not a stalker. Then she answered as she flipped her hair back with a curt wave of her hand, "I hope everyone enjoyed it."
She watched as the crowd started to thin out around them. Of course, everyone had enjoyed the show. This would go down as a night in history for her. It would be her first sold out session and her last performance ever. She was already a legend in some of these peoples eyes.
He looked back at her band behind her to see if any of them were witnessing their conversation. They all were in their own little worlds as they past around the stage and put their instruments away. They all didn't even care about him talking to her sine they were so involved in their own littler worlds.
This was almost too easy. He could just peg victim onto her forehead and take her out back it was that easy. No one was paying attention so there were no eye witnesses, once this was over her powers that Norxous was scrying for would lead Norxous to her, and he could change his image and shift into another person completely free of the certain death he had been worried about moments before.
He knew one thing that would get her hook line and sinker to him. She would be willing to do anything once he spoke these words. Everyone wanted to be a superstar and she was willing for it to just be handed to her. She was so gullible.
"Your performance.. It was ... well, I work for a record label and you just did better then any artist I have ever signed."
He didn't know her well but he knew one thing for certain for once in his life. He should be a salesman. Because baby she just bought his story hook line and sinker. Her vivid blue eyes sparkled at the information that dizzied its way into her brain. Then she tried to play it cool in case she was getting ahead of herself. What really was going on inside of her mind as she looked around modestly was a parade. He could see it. A parade and thousands of fans throwing money at her left and right.
The best thing he had ever said in his life was what he had just uttered. Even now as he watched her her eyes glittered and shone in excitement. Hell, she thought she was getting her lucky break . Poor thing she was only going to get her death sentence by talking with him right now.
"Really?" she asked. "I guess you haven't seen the best yet then."
"I haven't. So, I have decide I want you to be on my label. You think you can do that?" he asked her knowing full well inside her mind she was already a billionaire.
She looked like she was going to cry for joy. Instead, she jumped up and down on the stage. She was cute and bubbly for that five seconds. For a moment, he almost felt bad for what he was about to do.
She stopped bouncing and hugged herself giggling. He nodded and then looked around. So far he hadn't been bothered by Norxous's dogs but soon they would find him. He just didn't want that to happen yet. So he decided to speed up the process.
He smiled and extended his hand, "Here's my business card. "
She nodded and took a breaht."Oh tahnk you thank you thank you. I can't believe this. This was like my lifelong dream and like it is so happening ing now. You won't regret this." she replied taking the card.
You will though, he thought as their fingers touched. In that instant the powers he had stolen drifted straight into her body. She was their new host. She wouldn't be alive for long with them though.
He wanted to do what she had just done. He tuned her incessant prattle as he smiled. He had done it. The curse.. Hell the burden was over. He smiled and felt like doing his own like dance around the stage but didn't instead. He looked into her sparkling ocean blue eyes and nodded.
"I have a feeling you're right about that one." he said.
She smiled brilliantly down on him. She thought he had been saying he knew she was talented. Sure she was but evading death was a talent she wouldn't have.
He was just about to end his little exchange with the idiot human when he felt it. He knew then he had to get out of there quick.
Because in that instant Norxous's to dogs had spotted him. Since there was barely anyone left and then weren't house broken they did the only thing their pea brained minds gave them as an option to do.
They had held hands together to combine their powers and in the form of an energy ball they had sent it careening at him as he stood next to the stage.
The few people still there starting shrieking. The singer of Red Helter as well as her band mates ran off stage. He felt the paneling above his head of the stage burning as the odor of fresh smoke infiltrated his nostrils. He saw the two Charmed Ones at the club rise from where they had been sitting and start to fight back to save the supposed innocents that Norxous's dogs were after. Norxous's dogs started to fight back in the chaos of running bystanders and Conrad knew he had to get the hell out of there while he still could. Which was going to be harder then he had imagined initially.
Since all hell had broken lose.
