Will's Point
I stood wait just off stage taking deep slow breaths to help keep myself calm while I also had to keep moving my shirt sleeves back on my shoulder. The outfit they had given me for the opera was a pair of pants and a white shirt that was so low cut in the front it made my sleeves fall off my shoulders every now and again. I heard the music slow and I knew that was my cue so I slowly walked out.
"No thoughts within his head, but thoughts of joy! No dreams within his heart but dreams of love!" I sang as I walked moving my sleeves up every now and again.
"You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge" I heard someone sing from behind me and turn to see Nico slowly walking to me. He had on a outfit similar to mine only his shirt wasn't as low cut and he had a cloak over his shoulders and he had replaced his one sided mask with a full mask
"In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent" Nico sang
"Silent" Nico repeated as he put a finger to his lips.
"I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me" Nico sang. I closed my eyes and just listened to the sound of his voice
"Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me, no second thoughts
You've decided, decided
P
ast the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end" Nico sang as I heard him walk closer and closer
"Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend" Nico sang now right next to me and I opened my eyes as he walked behind me then wrapped his arms around me
"What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?" Nico sang as he moved his hands up to my shoulders
"What sweet seduction lies before us" Nico sang as he slowly moved his hands down my arm then kissed my hand
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn
Beyond the point of no return? Nico sang
"You have brought me
To that moment where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears into silence
Silence" I sang with a smile looking him deep in the eyes
"I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent
Now I am here with you, no second thoughts
I've decided," I sang walking towards a set of double stairs on the stage as Nico walked towards the opposite side
"decided" I repeated as I nodded
"Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race?
The sleeping bud bursts into bloom?
When will the flames at last consume us?" I sang as I walked up the stairs and walked over to Nico no longer bothering with my falling sleeves
"Past the point of no return
The final threshold" We sang together as Nico pulling me close and I wrapped one leg around him.
"The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn" We sang together as Nico ran his hands over my shoulders
We've passed the point of no return" We sang softly as I lowered my leg and we just stared into each other's eyes for a moment
"Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude" Nico sang surprising me because It wasn't part of the opera but I didn't care because it made me happy nonetheless
"Say you want me with you here, beside you" I sang as I moved my hand up and caressed his cheek
"Anywhere you go, let me go, too
Sunshine, that's all I ask of-" Nico sang but he was cut off then a bullet hit my hand and I screamed in pain.
Nico's Point
I pulled away from Will as a bullet shattered my mask I knew that I would have a good bruise from where the bullet had impacted and I heard people gasp at my face but that wasn't what worried me, what worried me was hearing Will scream in pain and then looking at him to see tears running down his face as he held his hand that was covered in red. I glanced up to see Drew with a surprise look that quickly faded as she readied her gun for another shot.
I knew what I needed to do even though it scared me because the last time I had done it I had ended up with a chain on my foot once I was found.
I quickly wrapped my arms around Will and shadow travelled away glad that the stage had a darker lighting. I travelled back to my room.
I quickly grabbed some alcohol (I was use to having it close by for any injuries I got) and a old shirt that I ripped into strips for bandaging then I had Will sit on my bed and look over his hand to see that the bullet hit right below his pointer finger, had it hit any higher he might have lost the finger altogether. I wiped off his hand to get a better look at the wound and I saw that it was rather deep then I remembered that my mask had shattered and turned his hand slowly over to see that the bullet had gone all the way through not only that but it was still in his hand.
