Your eyes were fixed on your piano as you waited. Someone grabbed you firmly by the shoulder. It was Faire, who else. She squeezed her hand so tightly that it started to hurt.

"What do you want?" you asked her as you pushed her hand off your shoulder. "I overheard you and Copia's conversation." "What conversation?" "After you spilled the water on me." you started to laugh. How even she says you spilled the water on her.

"Stop laughing so stupidly. There will be repercussions. Wait and see. Copia can't be here with you and you'll have to stand here all alone with me." Without saying anything you turned away from her as the concert started.

All your anticipation was ruined. You didn't know how to deal with it. Now Copia really wasn't around to protect you anymore.

You played concert after concert with these thoughts in your head. Each concert always went well and Faire didn't do anything. But you knew that she was waiting for the moment when you weren't aware of it. You became more and more restless and it stressed you out inside. She often ran into you and just smiled at you. After that, you were always afraid that something would hit you.

It was the last concert of the tour. You were glad to finally be back in church soon. Finally learning your elements again and being with the animals.

Mummy Dust started when it was already time to get your piano and go to the front. Just as you were about to go down the podium, Faire pushed you hard from behind. You immediately lost your balance and fell down the stairs. As you were flying, you spun around stupidly when you hit the back of your head on an angular object.

You got such a bad headache that you couldn't move. Everything started spinning in your head when you no longer knew where you were.

You saw weakly how Faire went backstage and put over your piano. She went to the front and totally messed up the solo. She had no idea what to play and there was no playback in there.

Your headache subsided when you tried to straighten up. However, every single movement made your headache get worse again. But you had to keep playing. There were only 4 songs left until the concert was over. You couldn't let the fans down. You had to get up.

You tried when everything started to spin. But you stayed strong and went back up the stairs step by step and kept playing.

You couldn't hear Faire anymore, just like you couldn't hear the rest. Your ears started beeping, your vision was still blurry and your legs were jello. Nevertheless, you pulled through.

It was finally over and you went forward with the others. It seemed like no one noticed that she pushed you. Everyone threw a few things at the fans as you started to line up. You thought everything was fine again, but after you took your bow everything was even worse.

Everything was spinning even more and your headache got so bad you wanted to cry and scream. You put your hand on the back of your neck where you hit the ground as you carefully walked off the stage.

You were about to change when you lost your balance again and couldn't walk straight. "Wow... Hey..." Mountain grabbed your wrist and pulled you back just as you almost fell into the table. "Are you okay?" Mountain asked, but you didn't hear him at all.

At that moment, Mountain saw your bloodied hand. "Air, you have blood on your hand..." "What... ah... it's fine... I'll go and change..." you rambled on. Just as you were about to leave again, you collapsed and fainted.

*3rd person*

Mountain managed to catch Air just as she fainted. Without thinking, he grabbed the back of her neck, where Air's hand had just been, when his hand was also covered in blood. A team of Sisters arrived and attended to Air immediately as everyone was unaware of what had just happened.

Copia also came backstage as he saw only a few Ghouls and Sisters standing around something. He looked over their shoulders when he saw Air. "What happened? Faire you were on a pedestal with her. And why wasn't she up front with MummyDust Solo?" he asked frantically.

"She fell off the stairs and hit her head somewhere. Not too bad. I just stood in for her." Faire lied as Air slowly regained consciousness.

"That's not true." Fire suddenly stood there. "I saw Faire push her off the stage." "Why would you say that? Baby... that's not true..." Faire walked over to Fire. "Don't call me like that. And it's true. You pushed her." he took a step away from Faire. "Is that true Faire?!" Copia got angry. "No.. I... I... yes... yes I pushed her. She was just in my way. How was I supposed to know that she was about to fall so hard?"

And so the tour ended. Air had a small laceration on her neck, which was bleeding heavily. But as she was a chosen one, the wound quickly washed up and her pain quickly disappeared.

Ever since everyone knew that Faire had pushed her, there was a strange atmosphere in the church. No one ever mentioned Air again and Faire never once put her name in her mouth.

*Fire's pov*

Right now you just didn't want to see Faire. You just didn't know what was wrong or right anymore and what to believe or not.

Today you had to cook dinner with Air. After Faire pushed her, you somehow couldn't hate her anymore.

You briefly discussed what you wanted to do before you split the work up. It was only now that you realized how quiet she always was.

You cooked the pasta and made a tomato sauce while she made another salad. The two of you were chopping the vegetables as you stood close to each other.

You glanced briefly at her side when you were surprised at how well and quickly she could cut them. You secretly watched her a little more as you noticed the scar on her arm. The scar that appeared after she cut herself. It was on her right arm. But how could she have cut herself if she cuts with her right arm?

There was something fishy about it and you had the feeling that Faire had something to do with it.
