I'm sitting at the table with Euronymous and his friend, I don't know why I sort of like it here.
It's better than back at home.
I look at his friend signaling Euronymous to speak privately, Euronymous nods and they quickly stand up and go into the next room.
Even though they think I can't hear them, I have pretty good hearing.

"Why would you bring him here? You barely know him." The boy says to Euronymous. "Varg, stop freaking out. We need a new member anyways!" I hear Euronymous yell.
Oh, now I know the browned haired boy's name, Varg. Varg, a nice name.
They exit the room with some conflict, which they aren't good at hiding. "Hey! What's your name boy." Varg asks me, in a aggressive tone.
I quickly become nervous, "My name is Pelle. Pelle Ohlin." I reply.
He sits back down on the couch again, he doesn't say anything after that.
Euronymous pulls me by my hand to his room, it has a lot of spray paint.. Symbols. Pentagrams. The word Mayhem. I've never been so confused.
I hear Varg shout from the living room, "It's Black Metal, we are in a band, pelle!" I can visibly see Euronymous bothered by Varg. I really don't understand any of this.

a couple minutes pass by.

Euronymous hands me a paper with lots of words on it, I ask him, "What is this?" He raises his eyebrows and gives me a small smirk.
"It's lyrics for our new song. It's called Freezing Moon." I begin to read the lyrics on the piece of paper.

- Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
In the corner of this time

Diabolic shapes float by
Out from the dark
I remember it was here I died
By following the freezing moon

It's night again, night you beautiful
I please my hunger on living humans
Night of hunger, follow its call
Follow the freezing moon

Darkness is growing, eternity opens
The cemetery lights up again as in ancient times
Fallen souls die behind my steps
By following the freezing moon -

I can feel the excitement rise up in me, I've been dreaming of the darkness. I love metal but I could never really express it but now, now I can. Finally I've found someone, who is like me.
I'm glad I decided to move to Norway, Sweden was as cold and dark, I'm starting to live my dreams.

"This is really good Euronymous." I tell him with a smile, looking into his dark brown eyes. He smiles back at me and says, "Well, I want you to sing it for me, I can play the guitar for it, all I need is you, Pelle." I can feel my heart beating through my chest, I haven't sang since I was last with my brother, Anders. I mean I know some drums but singing is going to be a rare one.

He grabs his guitar and begins to play the intro, since I know some death metal, I'm assuming that's what he's looking for.
I sing the lyrics with the rhythm of the guitar, I go more in a deep tone to match the guitar.

Euronymous stops playing the guitar and puts it down. He walks up to me and gives me the biggest hug, I think I've ever had.
"Pelle, you are a genius. Your voice.. is perfect." Euronymous says to me, giving me a very big smile, I smile back looking down at him.
