Dru was just adding on the finishing touches to her costume when she heard Eddie's voice come over the sound system again....

"Good evening, Hawkins. I hope you enjoyed part One of tonight's Show....Here's part Two.....Hold Tight.,..it's gonna get Wild!"

The band got into their positions on the stage,under the darkness of the smoke machine....Eddie winked at Dru and they both took their positions either side of the stage.....The little light show once again started up with Red,Black and White lights dancing around the stage and the entire venue mixing with the black red and white smoke that was also swirling around..... The music started slowly......

(Eddie)
"There is a hill at the bottom of the valley
Where all the poor souls go when they die
And if you listen real close
You can hear em' like a ghost
Saying you're never gonna make it out alive"

(Entire Band)
There is a town at the bottom of that hill
They got a secret that they keep like a slave
They got a black magic preacher (ooh)
We'd do well to let him teach her
You'll be heading up that hill to the grave
And it is well, with my soul
You line your pockets full of money that you steal from the poor
And on your way down to hell, you hear me ring that bell
I'd pay the devil twice as much to keep your soul"

(Eddie)

"There was a drifter passing through that little valley
See he had promised he was coming back to town (coming back to town)
They didn't know him by his face, or by the gun around his waist (ooh)
But he come back to burn that town to the ground"

(Dru)

"First there was fire, then there was smoke
Then that preacher man was hangin' by a rope
Then they all fell to their knees and begged that drifter
Begged him please, as he raised his fist before he spoke"

(Eddie)
" I am the righteous hand of God
And I am the devil that you forgot
And I told you one day you will see
That I'll be back I guarantee
And that hell's coming, hell's coming
Hell, hell's coming with me!"

In a flash the stage was once again thrown into complete darkness......

Dru's voice came seductively across the sound system......

"We have one more song for you.....but it's more of a dedication from one of our guests to another.....so Steve Harrington this has been dedicated to you from the One and Only ....Nancy Wheeler......"

Dru stands to the right side of the stage...directly in front of Nancy and Steve....she hopes to Hell that Steve remembered what she told him earlier....

"Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
"Oh, my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?"

She moved swiftly across the stage,stopping once again in front of both Nancy and Steve.....

"Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh, my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mm
If the high was worth the pain"

Dru hated the fact that Nancy knew she was using Steve to hurt her, and that she didn't actually love him....if she did then she wouldn't be banging Jonathan Byers behind Steve's back....she held her still healing arm up as she made eye contact with the pair of them....

"So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless (oh)
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mm (oh)
Or with a nasty scar
I've got a blank space baby....and I'll write your name"....

This last part was really gonna hurt, Dru just prayed that Steve got the point......she made eye contact with him for as long as she possibly could ....
"Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya!"

The crowd went wild, Dru took her place next to Eddie and the rest of Corroded Coffin centre stage and took a bow....smoke once again filled the stage....and in a blink of an eye she was back in the make shift changing rooms getting changed out of her stage clothes back into her ripped jeans and Hellfire Club crop top....Eddie knocked on her door and awaited permission to enter...."Dru...we did it.....Jesus H Christ Dru we played a SOLD OUT SHOW!! and that's not all,They've re booked us for a fortnights time...." Dru smiled at her brother,she had never in all their lives seen him this happy about anything....."Eddie that's amazing" she said as she put her stage gear away.... "Well I'm ready to leave when y'all are" she said smiling slightly, "okay let's go!" Eddie said as he picked up Dru's cases and carried them to the club's exit....."Hey Robin,ya need a lift home?" he casually shouted to his sister's eat friend in the entire world...well apart from him...."Uhm yeah please Eddie that'd be great, I'll be right out" she shouted back before saying her goodbyes and running out after the others..,Eddie loaded the car and made sure everyone was present....he noticed Steve walking to his own car..."Hey Harrington what ya think of tonight's set?" He saw the way Steve had been looking at Dru all night....he was lucky that Nancy hadn't spotted him.....he also noticed that Steve blushed a slight tinge of red at the question Eddie asked.....but before he had the chance to think more into that he was thrown from his thoughts by Steve finally responding"Yeah Munson you and your band were good.... especially the female singer.....hey, uhm, tell her thanks for the cassette tape earlier it's really good. " Steve smiled slightly before stopping in his tracks from the sound of Nancy hollering at him in the distance....."I swear the satanic lil freak was 1) flirting with MY boyfriend and 2) trying to out me for her dumb knife wound...... I think me n lil miss Munson will be having a few words tomorrow at school,she clearly hasn't learnt her place... but she will....she will....." She looked over at Steve, and a small smirk like smile eerily crept up across her mouth....they both got into Steve's car in complete and utter silence before driving off into the darkness.
