Brian's P.O.V  (That Friday)

The day finally came, the the of our first show with John, everything was going smoothly and the way we planned. including rehearsal.

"Mic check one, two, one, two. Hello? Can you guys in the back turn me up just a tad please?!" Freddie called out to the sound techs that stood about at least fifty feet away from the stage.

"Sure thing mate" One of the techs said with a smile.

Not long after that we ran through soundcheck rather quickly to our surprise and decided to take a break for the rest of the afternoon until we had to arrive back at the auditorium around 6:30 PM.

"Okay, remember the plan avoid the staff at all times if it's possible" I reminded the others.

"Yeah, I hope it's just the students attending"  John nodded in agreement.

" I just thought of something darlings, What if any students are hunters?" Freddy looked at the three of us.

" I didn't think of that. If they were, What would we do?" Roger did it the same.

" I don't know but, hopefully that won't be the case".

" I just have a really bad feeling about this loves. I don't know what it is but I can feel it".

"What do you mean?".

" I mean I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen to one of us".

"Fingers cross that won't occur to us I guess".

"Yep".

And before we knew it it was already 6:20 pm so we decided to head back to the auditorium a bit early to get dressed and prepped for the show.

We were walking down the street and around the corner when we heard a voice call out and say.

"Excuse me, Are any of the Roger Taylor?" It was a woman's voice.

So we turned around to see a woman who looked about to be our age, with long blonde hair and green eyes that was also about 5'4" walking in on direction.

Then Roger spoke up and said. "That's me I'm Roger Taylor. Can I help you?".

"Yeah, my professor wants to have a word with you he has seen you around and he thinks that you have potential for our biology program here at London Imperial".

"Oh ummm....alright I guess I'm right behind you lead the way".

"Alight, It won't be long" she smiled at him and looked up at us and said. " I'll have him back before 7:15, before the show starts".

" Great good luck Rog".

"Thanks".

So with that we walked around the corner and into the auditorium where we walked into the dressing room when Roger returned shortly after 6:45pm.

"Hey, How did it go? Are you going to take the offer?".

"Nah, I'm happy where I am at but I told him thank you for the offer and hopefully he'll find someone else to do it that spot".

" I think that was the best decision that you made darling, Can you pass me a beer?".

"Sure" Roger smiled as he pulled out a bottle of beer and open it for him then he stretched it out to Freddie.

And from that point on we got ready then shortly after we were called out onto the stage where we performed for two hours until 9:15 PM.

As we were walking back into the dressing room I noticed hair growing on the back of Freddie's neck.

"Freddie?".

"Yeah dear?".

"Don't panic but, you're starting to transition".

"What?! It's not even a full moon yet!".

"Calm down everything will be okay now, What's the last thing you consumed before the show?".

"That beer".

"Okay, Brian can you go over there and put it in a paper bag without getting your DNA on it?".

So I did what I was asked then I returned to John and Freddie.

"Okay, What do we do now?".

"Help me remove his clothes before they start tearing apart".

And again I did what I was asked to do then that's when Freddie fell down to his knees as his bones in his body was starting to crack and pop into place.

"Make it stop! Please make it stop! It hurts!" Freddie cried out as his cries for help when is turning into barking.

Then a few minutes after that Freddie completed his transition and bolted out the door so John and I ran after him and not knowing where Roger went.

After we ran around a corner or two we came across Freddie Who was completely blocked by a group of hunters standing in front of him along with Roger being handcuffed and gagged as he stood next to one of them.

"Well look who it is" it was the woman that Freddie told us about. 'It's quite lovely to see you again at Freddie".

He whimpered and let out a small growl. Then the woman bent down in front of him and blew a small handful of a light pink powder until his face which caused him to fall into a deep sleep.
