The light pitter patter of footsteps where washed out by the raging waves of praising shouts. The over powering radiance of the lights that echoed off the shadows of the arena quickly dimmed and held their hold on the figure that gracefully moved across the stage. Like watching the most magical creature dance, the crowd was quickly rinsed into silence, their breaths taken by the simply inhuman movements taking place in front of them. The figure finally reached the mic that solemnly stood in the mists of its own shadow. The lights balanced on the figure as the crowd silently held their glaze, awaiting the next movement.
His cheeks curved into his lips as his voice was carried by Valkyrie and touched every person with the soft tips of a Valkyrie’s feather. “From the ashes of our descent…” his voice dipped off in a soft echo. “We will rise…” The emerald of his orbs flashed opened as the blond of his hair flung backwards. “We are the Fallen!” the lights flashed on and from behind him the guitar burst through the thick silence and as if on cue the crowd let loss and joined in with the drums and the bass, the second guitar echoed in and the lyrics powered through the music.
“It gets me every time.” A voice spoke out in the room overlooking the arena. The live recording of Fallen was being broadcasted across the world, from Europe to china and chained back across South America to the states. The open arena show of over five million was the biggest of any time, and then was the first to take over the whole city of France. “What do you think Ray? Our boys super stars yet?”
The Cream of his face pulled up into a soft grin. “This is just the beginning.” Ray smiled as his deep blue eyes dropped back down into the crowd. “We need to do something better… bigger…”
“Bigger?” the other voice questioned.
“Yes.”
“What could possibly be bigger than five million people?”
“The World… We will put on a live show that will stretch across the world taking over city after city like an out stretched concert.” Ray nodded his head as his eyes drifted across the endless sea of fans and then finally his eyes caught the band. “We started with take over France concert to prove we can do it, now its time for the world’s first global take over concert.”
“Adrian! Stop pulling so hard.” Alice shouted but her voice was knocked out by the crowd. “Please we are going to get caught.” Alice begged, but still Adrian tugged on. They were pushing through a crowd of five million cheering fans just so they could get to the RESERVED seats in the front. But the word RESERVED kept making Alice want to remain in her standing position in front of the giant protector screen broadcasting the live feed of the show throughout the city, but the word RESERVED only seemed to make Adrian want to get into them even more. “Adrian damn it!” she yelled but this time her voice was powerful enough attract the attention of everyone around her… but Adrian’s.
“Come on Alice we need to get to those seats, I mean why is it fair that some spoiled rich kids get to take up a seat when this poor fan girl could be sitting there!” Adrian went on. “I mean think about how close we will be!” she shrieked to herself. “Just think Lu will finally see me and know that I’m the one for him.”
Lu… ok which one was Lu again? All Alice knew about the band was that the lead singer was… damn what was his name? She always got them mixed up. Was the guitarist Lu, or was that Michael? No, no, the guitarist was Gabriel, and the lead singer was Michael right? Then who was Lu? Second string maybe? No he was first string? Wait which is which? Oh he might have been the base player? No base was definitely Gio. Drums were Chris, so Lu was one of the guitarists? Damn it no, no, no, the guitarist where Gabriel, and Kevin, so who was Lu?
Her thoughts where interrupted by a sudden jerk of her arm as Adrian started for a full sprint through the crowd. Everyone around looked like dead zombies, rocking back in forth with their heads down, swaying to the softened tempo of the music. She was almost afraid that once it got fast paced the zombies where going to do something… not good. Alice’s mind whipped around until it landed on its final thought before the spot lights hit her and the music tempo sped up and the thundering voice of the lead singer rippled through the crowd. ‘Emily is so lucky she stayed at the hotel.”
Emily was trying so hard not to get caught. She wasn’t like Alice or Adrian. She wanted to come to Europe (alone!) to go backpacking across the mountains in Germany, but when Adrian heard she was going to Europe it automatically fell into Fallen, and the biggest concert in the world. Emily didn’t like Fallen, in fact she hated them. Nothing against them personally but she didn’t really get into the whole… Fallen scene with everyone else… ok so she was into the whole fallen thing with everyone else but… after what happened she was never truly able to get into it again.
She refocused the emeralds of her eyes on the guarded room of the fancy hotel. She figured if she was in the very over packed city to see this “Fallen” she may as well snag a few trinkets to sell on eBay, or… even some of Lu’s… no, no, no this was strictly for money, although it would still be nice to get a hold of something Lu had touched.
She pulled her head back behind the corner of the hall and took a deep breath. She really needed to focus.
“Hey you! What do you think you’re doing…” the rumble of the voice made her heart stop beating she could have sworn for a minute she was going to die, but just as her mind was running though excuses another voice trickled around the corner.
“Please just let me! Please just on pillow, just one bristle of one tooth brush!” the frantic girl screamed out. Soon more voices where echoing around her and it sounded like five girls all trying to get in, but the thundering of the guard’s voice always made her feel like he was talking directly to her. “If I had caught anyone in there I would have broken their fingers and ate them!” he threatened.
‘Ate them?’ was all she could think to that. She looked around the corner once more and to her surprise she caught the guards hauling the girls off in the other direction. Emily quickly gathered her wits and made a quick run for the door, hoping to god it was unlocked. She reached her hand out, grabbed the door knob and prayed it would turn.
Click!
Her beautiful eyes flung open as the door slowly cracked open. Yet before she could even get a foot in the door the thundering of the voice caught her. “Hey you!” Emily turned around faster than she had ever turned around in her life, her heart beating out of her chest, and her breath escaped her and her mind completely full with the flight or fight response. “What do you think your doing?” the guard went to grab her but as his hands reached out it seemed like everything blurred together and turned into slow motion.
Her she was in the city of love and she was going to spend it in prison somewhere for breaking an entry. All her stuff was in the room so maybe… no alice and Adrian wouldn’t have to time to even notice she was gone. She was going to stay here for weeks without anyone even noticing she was gone. She felt like she was going to start crying, but a much softer voice spoke from behind her…
“Oh it’s you, where have you been?” firm hands fell into hers and her back fell against something hard. She wanted to turn around and see who this hero was, who this person was but… she couldn’t move. Luckily another firm hand gently wrapped around her chin and softly turned her to face him.
Emily could feel the heat rise in her cheeks as her gaze locked onto his eyes that glittered light brown in the halls lights. The soft, tight curls of his hair brushed against her face as she tried to take him in as much as she could. His fingers brushed her skin and it was as if sun had exploded in her body, the magnetism, the heat, the raw feeling… just this simple touch was literally sucking the breath right out of her. “kiss me.” She whispered. ‘WHAT!’ she thought to herself. It made sense make the scene look real right? No, no, no this was wrong.
A soft smiled spread across his milk chocolate skin as his lips slowly started to move toward hers. His hands moved to her sides and as if being controlled wrapped around his back. She could feel his cool breath on her flesh and once again the world moved in slow motion. His touch burning against her cloths, his eyes sparking a inferno that she was afraid would burn out of control if his lips didn’t soothe it. She almost felt the yarning the need, the desire, she, she, she lusted for a man, this man, she wanted his lips on hers, and right as the thought crossed her mind the world sped up and his lips touched hers.
His cheeks curved into his lips as his voice was carried by Valkyrie and touched every person with the soft tips of a Valkyrie’s feather. “From the ashes of our descent…” his voice dipped off in a soft echo. “We will rise…” The emerald of his orbs flashed opened as the blond of his hair flung backwards. “We are the Fallen!” the lights flashed on and from behind him the guitar burst through the thick silence and as if on cue the crowd let loss and joined in with the drums and the bass, the second guitar echoed in and the lyrics powered through the music.
