Same Stars Of Yesterday (book 2)

"A Schemed Surprise"

CLIV.
~:•:~

Drew's POV:

"Ah-huh?" Dawn seemed confused with what I said so I only smiled and kept my hands in my pockets before I felt my phone to have vibrated.

I simply pulled it out a bit and Locket had a message so I glanced back to where she was.

"I better go back there, Dawn." I told the blunette who only nodded and tried to smile as well and to Locket too before she held onto her dress and went back upstairs to the stage.

Right then, the lights turned off and everything went black.

Who would imagine this lights out is possible when we are in the broad daylight and this is the pavilion of Azure Park??

I heard the guests' reactions and I only stayed put to where I was before I felt a hand to have grabbed my right wrist and pulled me to somewhere.

"He-hey..."

I wasn't able to finish what I was to say because of someone's finger that touched my lips as if hushing me.

The grip let me go before I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Sorry for the trouble and for not showing up earlier..."

I turned behind me even though it was still dark around here. I don't even know where exactly is this area now~

"Oh, you sure do have time to apologize, mister?? You better make this work or I won't forgive you for making us all worry that you wouldn't show up any sooner??" It was Locket's voice and I figured that she was the one who pulled me earlier and hushed me.

She stood next to me as I felt her movement and Ash is right before us in this dark place.

"Well, just go with the flow from here on out~ And remember until how much we practiced the song. Although there would be changes throughout the performance. I hope you two can be compatible enough to be flexible in this ultimate surprise scheme of ours. Yosh!" Goes the cheerful remark and someone eventually pushed me that I ended up standing with a microphone.

What is happening??

••••••••••

Dawn's POV:

"What happened??"

"Huh?"

"Did something go wrong?"

I heard these commotions after the lights went off.

It was even unexpected and I am supposed to go up the stairs but I froze my step when the lights were gone.

"Blue??" I heard my sister's voice and she was likely in a worry that I turned my head around before I felt her hand to have held mine and she led me carefully down the stairs.

"Are you okay?? Don't worry, I am here..." She told me inspecting myself even though it was totally a black out.

"Sis, what happened?? How did this place became so dark??" I asked in puzzled thoughts while I was trying to move my hands on my sister's arm.
