But, starting January 27th you can expect regular updates every weekend.

Enjoy!
Argo Wickedwood cursed when his club went black, his most popular guest performance coming to a halt. He had a half a mind to fire his electrician as he heard the complaints from his usual customers, his blood boiling and his palms sweaty. But, the blood in his veins turned into ice when he heard two female shrieks and the panicked shouts of the Fallen boys.
"Marco, the lights, NOW!" Argo shouted at his assistant who scurried to the back as he 'politely' asked everyone to leave the club.
The frazzled assistant of Argo fumbled with the breaker box, his sweaty palms slipping against the cool metal as he searched for the damned light switch. After a few curses and groans, his pale fingers skimmed a bulge in the wall and he flipped it, casting light on the now empty club, unveiling a shocking sight.
A frazzled and very panicked Lannie clutched onto a pale Sydney as her knees wobbled. Sydney's face was drained from her natural tan and her emerald eyes where wide, her hold on her sisters arm so tight Lannie already felt a bruise forming.
"Sydney!" Nick shouted, running over to his twin. He grabbed her pale face, his eyes darting over it searching for any inquires." Are you O.k.? Come on Syd, talk to me."
"I think she's in shock." Tsubaki piped, her hands clutched in front of her as her troubled gaze never left Sydney's face.
Sydney's POV
My heart was hammering painfully against my ribs. Why is everything so bright? Ugh, my stomach hurts! Why does my throat feel like scolding metal? What is that awful taste in my mouth?
"…Sydney? Sydney, can you hear me?" I hear someone ask me. I know that voice! Nick! Yes I can hear you! B-but I can't talk. Or move. Why can't I move? Damn it! Why does it feel like I have constrictions on my hands and feet?
I saw a blur of stripes in my vision. Wait. I know those stripes…But I can't think straight enough to remember the owner of them…I feel some one touch my face. That touch…..its Lannie's touch. I feel a few drops of liquid hit my face. I-is Lannie crying? No, don't cry! I'm fine! I want to tell her that, but I can't function!
Nick's POV
"Damn it Sydney, this isn't funny! Talk to me please!" I begged my unresponsive twin, gripping her hand as Maka rushes to the closest mirror to call Lord Death.
Maka's POV
"42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on death's door." I pace the floor as I wait for Lord Death to answer.
"Waz up, waz up?" An always perky Lord Death answers.
"Lord Death, we need help! Something happened to Sydney while she was on stage and now she won't move or talk!" I rush out, gripping the dirty sink tightly in my shaking hands.
"Oh dear, that's not good. I'll send Stein and Nurse Medusa over right now; don't move!" Lord Death says." Whatever you do, don't leave that club, Maka. Make sure everyone stays inside; we don't know what caused Sydney to freeze up."
"Right." I nod, standing straight as I rush to tell the others.
Sydney's POV
"Lord Death is sending Nurse Medusa and Stein to help." I hear some one say. Um…Maka! Yeah, that's her voice!" Is she any better?"
"No, she hasn't moved or made any sounds. She just stares at the ceiling blankly." I hear Lannie say from next to me, her hand running through my hair soothingly. Wait. My eyes are open….? Huh, I didn't even notice. When did I open them?
Suddenly, a sadistic chuckle rings through my head. A feel of hot iron scorches my throat, bringing tears to my unfocused eyes.
'W-what the hell! Ah! Damn it, that hurts! Please s-stop!' I want to scream aloud. But, a vice grip has a hold of my vocal cords.
'Am I hurting you, sweetie?' A voice cackles in my head.
'W-who-what- what the hell? Who are you? Why are you in my head! 'Ipanic, my heart beating faster, but I never move from my frozen place on the stage ground, my head rested in Tyler's lap.
'Aw, you mean you don't remember me? I'm hurt Sydney' The voice mocks, its voice sickly sweet.
'What are you rambling on about? How would I remember you, you're a freaking voice in my head!' I growled at the voice.
'Oh no sweetie, you're wrong. I'm not just a voice in your head. I'm an actual person, but I am speaking through my snakes I put in your body' the voice purrs.
'S-snakes!' I mentally screech. 'You put snakes in my body? Are you crazy! Wait, stupid question .But, why are you doing this. Why me?'
'I don't think that's any of your concern right now. You'll know soon enough, Sydney Joane. By the way, I'll always be with you now, since my snakes have already settled in your body'
the voice says, making me want to shudder. 'Oh and Sydney...'
'What?' I want to sneer.
'You look so much like your mother' the voice whispers before I feel like I'm being lifted up.
3rdPerson POV
Soul sits next to a silent and crying Lannie as they and the others stare hopelessly at the still Sydney. Nick stands off to the side, his head low and his hands shaking from nervousness. Maka stands behind him, laying a comforting glove-clad hand on his stiff shoulder. Liz and Patty sit next to a fidgeting Death the Kid, his eyes trained on the pale girl as she breaths steadily. Black Star is the quietest he has ever been, he and Tsubaki sitting by the end of the stage, Tsubaki clutching her meisters hand tightly.
Suddenly, the doors of the club open, Argo escorting Stein and Nurse Medusa in to the eerily quite scene. The two adults walk over to Sydney, the others moving out of the way, but Nick refused to move out of the way, so he sat to the right of Sydney, his larger hand wrapped tightly around her small one.
"Does she have a pulse? " Nurse Medusa asked while she and Stein crouch down next to Sydney, Stein checking the small girls pulse on her left hand.
"Faintly." he replies. He looks up to the troubled young make sitting across from him, his glasses flashing." Did you see what happened, Nick?"
"No." Nick responses in a monotone." We where in a middle of a song, and Sydney was fine. But, when the lights went out, her and Lannie screamed. And when the lights went on, she was pale white and not moving, just clutching onto Lannie. Whenever we tried talking to her, she wouldn't respond."
"Hmmm, strange." Nurse Medusa hums, placing her hand on her chin." Maybe it was nerves?"
From her spot on the side of the stage, Lannie narrows her eyes at the Nurses suggestion. By the tone of her voice, Lannie can tell Nurse Medusa either knows something or doesn't care about the situation at hand.
"No, I don't think nerves would make a person go into an unresponsive state like this." Replies Stein." This is just…odd. I never seen something like this before, it's like she went into shock." Standing up, Stein takes a long drag of his cigarette before saying," I think we should take everyone back to the academy, and we'll figure it all out there. Plus, I feel its safer there than here."
"B-but, Lord Death said not to move her." Maka stutters. "What If we hurt her, o-or something."
"You all can take one of my cars." a voice pipes, making everyone jump. Argo Wickedwood walks our from the shadows, keys dangling off of his finger." I insist. We wouldn't want the poor gal to get hurt anymore. "He tossed the keys to Stein before turning towards the three conscious Fallens."Thank you for performing for my club." And after that, he sauntered away, his black leather shoes squeaking against the polished floor.
Blinking, Tyler said." Wow…that was nice of him. He doesn't even know us yet he gives us his car to take."
Nodding, Lannie said. "Yeah….a little odd."
"Are you all ready?" Stein asked, Sydney already in his arms as he started out the door, the teens and Nurse Medusa following behind.
Medusa's POV
I look over the unconscious girls face, a small sadistic smirk on my face. I'll have to remember to reward Chrona latter for his helping in my little scheme. I watch as Stein lays the girl down in the back seat of the large car, the three other Fallens climbing in behind her. I climb in the front after Soul and the others are securely in. Stein starts the car to life before tearing down the street, his cigarette hanging limply in his mouth.
I glance in the rearview mirror at Sydney and mentally smirk.
I always knew I would find a way to get to her. Without Joanna here, it's going to be much easier to snatch her and make her my child. I let out a small sigh. She really does look like her mother. The heart shaped face, the odd colored hair, and the large green eyes.
It's a shame really. If Joanna just gave me Sydney like I told her to, than I wouldn't have had to kill her. To be honest, I miss Joanna. Her and I where good friends at one point. I remember she would always get frowned upon by people for associating with a witch, but she didn't care. We where like sisters…..until that damn Argo came along.
I wanted to kill everyone that used to say how cute they where together. I remember the day I heard Joanna's mother saying how lovely they would look as a married couple. I snorted at that, thinking that would never happen. Joanna wasn't the type for marriage; or at least that's what I thought.
Until one day while Joanna and I were having tea, she announced something that made my heart clench. She and Argo were getting married. Oh, and that she was pregnant!
Flash Back::
"Medusa…."Joanna started, making me look up from stirring my tea.
"Yes?" I asked, setting my spoon down. Joanna bit her lip, taking a timid sip of her warm drink. "Is something wrong, Jo?"
"No, no not at all! It's just that…." She stuttered, running a hand through her curly blonde and red hair. A small shimmer caught my eye on her left hand, making me go rigid. She noticed my staring and blushed, covering her hand.
"I-is th-th-that a-," I chocked out. My mouth was dry, my palms where sweaty, and I felt like one of my snakes were chocking me.
"Y-yes." She blushed, smiling widely." Yes! He proposed, Medusa!"
I let out a strained gasp, feeling like my lungs where on fire. My cup shattered in my hand from my intense grip, making tea spill all over me.
"M-medusa, your cup!" Joanna pointed out, making me snap out of my shock.
"Oh….." I muttered, not really caring. She sighed, wiping my mess up while I glared holes into the diamond on her left finger.
"Medusa, there's something else to….." Oh no, what now? What else are you going to throw at me know? "…..I-i'm pregnant."
Did the world just stop? Is hell freezing over? Where the hell are the flying pigs?"…what?"
"I'm pregnant." Joanna beamed, rubbing her flat stomach.
"…"
"Medusa, are you alright? You don't look so good." Joanna muttered, laying a cool hand on my forehead.
I stood up, brushing her off and walking to the door. "I need to go."
"W-what? But you just got here!" Joanna said, furrowing her brows. Keeping my back to her, I grasped the door handle tightly.
"I-I'm sorry, I just…I h-have to go." I told her, pulling the door open and running out, my heart aching and my eyes burning.
End Flash Back-
"….Medusa!" Stein yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"W-what?" I stutter, glancing up at him.
"We're here." He tells me. I look out the window and-yup, we're here.
"He he….so we are." I said, climbing out of the car and looking around. "Where are-"
"They went up to your office while you where blanking out." He said, and I rubbed the back of my head. "Medusa….are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine." I told him, starting towards the academy. I hear him sigh and mutter something before following after me.
So, what did you think? Like? I hope I did well on all of the POV changes. And I know Medusa was OOC, and sorry if you didn't like that. I just wanted to stir the pot more :3 *stir,stir*
