Chapter 5 - The Podium

The night air was cold and gave the girls goose pimples on their arms. Keiko and Miya were linking arms and they walked in the high heels towards the withered-looking warehouse, to a deaf person, it'd look like a normal unused warehouse. But unfortunately for the surrounding neighbors, they were not deaf, and the music was very very loud. Warehouses were often used for parties, as they were usually empty and massive inside and could fit a lot of people inside. Keiko and Miya didn't even know who's party this was, this was quite common though, nobody really ever knew who started the party in the first place, people just sort of turned up and brought a friend... or friends.
"I hope there's some hotties at this party!" said Miya enthusiastically, resembling a hungry wolf looking for it's prey.
"When is there not?!" laughed Keiko, as she laughed she looked around suspiciously, looking for any more suspicious looking males.
"Come on! You're such a slow walker!" Keiko speeded up as she thought she saw something move in the shadows, dragging Miya along with her.
They reached the entrance of the warehouse and walked in, the music was loud and the bass of the music vibrated the floor and Keiko could feel it inside her, she loved it. She looked up at where the DJ was, he was on a 15ft podium surrounded by large speakers. Keiko felt a bit dizzy and she felt her eyes starting to roll. But then Miya grabbed Keiko's arm and dragged her towards the bar.
"Let's get some drinks!" Miya whooped as she bought two pink coloured drinks in glass bottles.
She shoved one of them into Keiko and she grabbed it, before Keiko had time to ask what it was she started downing it. She was sick of all this freaky shit going on and just wanted to let go and be normal again, well as normal as she was before. The alcohol affected her instantly, she felt her mood lighten and she laughed. Miya looked at her pleased and ordered another round.
After a few bottles of the pink drink Keiko and Miya were dancing to the music together and laughing. Keiko told Miya the ins and outs of her night with Redd and Miya was squawking with laughter loudly.
"I still can't believe it! Did he have a nice chest?! Was he good?"
"YES!" Keiko laughed, drinking more. "And yes!"
By this point, Keiko was quite drunk and was in a very silly mood. Keiko was highly dangerous and did stupid things when she was drunk. Unfortunately for her, she was with Miya. Who egged her on. If Redd was here he would've took her home and looked after her for the night whilst she threw her half digested kebab up into a bucket. But he wasn't. Keiko walked through the crowd of dancing people towards the podium. She loved music, especially with bass, she loved music where you could feel it. She reached the podium where the DJ was, and she looked up at him. He was too busy concentrating on what song to play next... and there it was, her favourite song.
Jumper by Capsule
She climbed up the ladder in the heels towards the top of the podium singing the lyrics.
Anger, Stress and secrets
they Won't break you
Wake up
Put aside- you're
Feeling nothing,
Freely Speed up,
Landing, Stepping, Jumping, Jumper
She got to the top and the DJ turned to look at her and helped her up. He looked at her in the same way Redd did that night, but she didn't care or even notice because she was that drunk. She grabbed the microphone that laid next to his drink and sung into it. The whole crowd looked at her for a second, then cheered and danced away again. She saw Miya down below waving crazily at her and laughing, she took a few photos with her phone.
Anger, Stress and secrets

Miya looked down at her phone, probably to faff around with the lighting on the photo. Keiko continued to sing and the crowd were loving it. The DJ then grabbed her waist and tried to kiss her on the lips, she dropped the microphone and it screeched through the speakers as landed on the floor next to Miya's feet, everyone stopped dancing and tried to figure out what was going on over the loud music and flashing lights. Keiko stepped backwards and fell...
Where am I?
Keiko looked around the sunlight was blinding and obstructed her view, then it all became clear. She was in the town... it was empty though. Eerily empty. She walked along a wide path with tracks, which looked like they belonged to a train or something. The town was nice and bright. It looked friendly even though nobody was there. She looked up and saw a towering clock tower, Keiko had never seen anything like it. She couldn't quite see the time and it was blurred for some reason, Keiko hadn't even had a problem with her sight before... She walked up a hill which was paved with stone and surrounded by tall buildings which looked like people's homes. She continued to walk to the clock tower, it was weird not having this town melt away so quickly as it usually did. She reached the top and had a great view of the town and the surrounding hills, she walked towards the wall to get a better view and to see if she could spot anyone walking about. There was nobody. She then jumped as she felt someone trying to grab her, she spun around and saw someone in a black coat, just like the man from before... She then heard the music again and the town began to fade...
She opened her eyes to find a man in a black cloak had caught her, this one was slimmer and she caught a glance of a smirk he was wearing. He put her down...
