I see you / featuring Tobias Forge

Chapter 4 - sometimes dreams can come true

"Nathalie?"Sasha squealed, I think I'm having a panic attack. It was almost their turn and Sasha could already see the first ghoul ready to meet the fans in line. "Oh come on" Nathalie said. "They're people too, just like us. They breathe, take a shit and piss just like us. Remember, this should be FUN Sash, so enjoy yourself". Sasha took a deep breath as they shuffled along the line. She exhaled when she stood right in front of the first ghoul, who was Phantom."Hi"! He said. "Is this your first ritual?" She just nodded, not able to say aword. "Would you like to take a picture with me"? Awh, he was so friendly! Sasha started to relax and stood next to Phantom, smiling from ear to ear, as her sister took a picture. Then came the next ghoul, who was Swiss. He was a lot taller than Phantom and already had his grin on. Sasha smirked at the sight and stepped up to him. Swiss tilted his head and looked at her with more attention. "You look familiar...I recognise your smile... wait hang on...it'll come to me...Are you Sasha? Sasha4Copia"? he asked. Sasha was struck with disbelief and felt her kneesbuckle. "Y-Yes I am" She stuttered. Swiss's grin widened and he asked her:"would you mind if I took a picture of us"? Sasha was still shocked at whathappened, but stood next to the tall ghoul. And just as with Phantom her smile was beaming, lighting up the room, or at least the spot she was standing in. In the corner of her eye she saw a figure moving towards them and she looked to her right. The man watching her with an admiring look on his face, was PapaIV or better known by her as him. He walked up to them ignoring Sasha's sister and completely blocking her view, by standing in front of Sasha and Swiss. "Hi Sasha, I believe"? She guessed Swiss probably felt her knees buckle a bit, because his grip tightened somewhat around her shoulders. "Y-yes, that's me, but how do you all know my name"? He looked at her as if she was from a different planet. "Are you kidding me? Your recording online of the goodsisters voice on Stay was phenomenal!We were all talking about asking you to come by our studio one time to try to sing the part with us. Patrick is of course not in the possibility to sing this song with us on tour, but we do need a good sister. Since we already have our good share of bad ones." He winked at her as he said that. Sasha could not believe this was happening, but as his words slowly sinked in, her smile returned and was more radiant than ever. She was positively glowing. He looked at her as if now he was more sure than ever, that she was from out of this world. He was completely star struck by her light. Satan, it was as if his dark side could just devour it. He missed the light in his life, too often surrounded by shadows and darkness. "W-well th-thank you, I am deeply honoured by what you just said and frankly I really can't believe this is happening". She finally replied with a deep colour of red on her cheeks. Almost the same colour that she was wearing on her lips. Her lips...he looked at her still smiling mouth and had to swallow. He had looked at her profile online of course, to see what kind of person she was and found out she was born in the same year as he was. She also had a lot of the same interests as he had. But that was one time only, through Swiss's account, because he did not use social media. He hated it. He turned his face to Swiss, feeling a little bit ashamed from starring at her lips. "Ahum", he heard from behind him. "Sorry Darth Vader, but there are more people waiting here in line and we have to get to our spots at the barrier. So if you wouldn't mind, could we take a picture with the two of you already"? Nathalie asked a bit agitated. He turned his attention to the line behind them. "Yeah of course, let's do this"! Sasha stepped next to him and held one hand on his back and the other on his chest. He laid his arm around her shoulder. They fitted perfectly together and Sasha could have sworn, she felt some electric pulses as soon as she touched his chest. "Thanks again", she said. "I never had such a big compliment in my entire life". She looked a little sad saying that and he felt his heart crunch a little bit. "Well, you're welcome and I meant every single word of it. You'll see". Sasha blinked her eyes and decided she didn't hear that last part correctly. She gave him a last smile and wandered into the stadium with her sister.

The stadium was already getting quite packed and they had to squeeze themselves through the crowd, to find a place at the barrier. But...there she was, finally, waiting for the ritual to begin. She had invested so much to get to this point and she felt proud that she had reached it. Her heart skipped a beat, when the lights turned down and the first sounds of music started to play. There they were! There he was...he started to sing the first verse of Kaisarion and you could see, he was completely in his element. He was just on fire. Sasha didn't hold back and shouted from the top of her longs. His white eye found her eyes. Now he knew where she was. Every now and then he would walk up to where she was standing and perform his signature moves on her. By the time Cirice was playing, Sasha felt the tension building between them. He walked up to her, fell down to his knees and took her hand. Sasha could not believe it, she was getting Ciriced!

'Oh shit', Tobias thought!Maybe I shouldn't have done this. He was in the middle of ciricing her, but he felt like it was the other way around. Her hand felt so good in his and her eyes were putting him under a spell. He was disappointed that he had to let go of her hand. When the song finished and there was a musical intermezzo, he rushed to the stage master. "I want to play: Stay" he said. "But-but, we don'thave Patrick here to sing the part of good sister". The stage master commented. "Don't worry, I have the perfect good sister for this. I want it as an encore right before Square Hammer". He scurried of to the stage again, before anyone would miss him and went on with the show. They started to play Mary on a cross and he decided to fixate his gaze on her, his object of fascination. He noticed that with every suggestive move he made, she would blush and turn her eyes to the ground. It was really turning him on. When the song ended, he started talking to his audience. "We have recorded, as you know, a new cover for the movie Insidious and would like to play it for the first time live, here, for you all. However, since Patrick was, shall I say a bit pre-occupied, we have a surprise for you. I think a lot of you have already heard her voice on her recorded version online. Give it up for Sasha"!

Sasha blinked her eyes a couple of times, but she was not dreaming. The crowd went wild and she was lifted over the barrier on to the stage. She looked back at her sister, who was shouting: "That's my sister!" and sent her an air kiss. Papa gave her a microphone and the first tunes of the song started. 'Oh my god', she thought, this is really happening! Okay Sash, it's now or never, give it all you've got girl. And she started to sing. She looked into the crowd and already saw the first flashlights and lighters coming up. By the time she started to sing the first refrain she turned to HIM, looking deeply into his eyes. He walked up to her and took her hand and weaved their fingers together. With the second verse, she let go of his hand and walked around him, all the while looking in his eyes and telling him this way, she meant what she was singing. At chorus two, she placed her hand on his chest and looked at him with begging eyes.

He looked back at her and felt their souls reaching out for each other. Recognizing their true mates. He started his verse and walked in a panther like way around her looking up and down her body in a lascivious way. Then their combined chorus started and it was pure perfection. Their voices, who were so different, hers was light and his was dark, melted together in a beautiful way and. This was what bliss felt like, a perfect harmony.
The song ended and the crowd went wild! "My children, give it up for Sasha!" Sasha took a bow and was brought back to her place next to her sister. Now it was time for Square Hammer. "What the fuck was that"? She asked Nathalie. "Sasha, that was fucking awesome and awkward all at the same time. Man you were almost devouring each other on stage. What will mom say"? Nathalie started laughing. Sasha, now was startled by what her sister said and turned white. "Oh my god Nathalie, I don't know what happened, but I couldn't help myself! It came naturally, I didn't even have to think about it." She let out a whimper and her sister tried to comfort her saying.: "It's okay Sash, it probably was just the rush of the moment, don't think anything serious about it." Yeah and that was exactly the part of which Sasha knew, wasn't true. It felt every bit as serious as it could feel. After Monstrance Clock, the ritual came to an end and the Ghouls, Ghoulettes and Papa came back on stage to take their final bows. Swiss walked up to where Sasha was standing. "Don't leave just jet. He wants to talk to you after the show". "Okay" muttered Nathalie, before Sasha could say anything " and what should I do then? Just hang around in the stadium"? Swiss gave her his famous grin and said: "If you'd like you could tag along with the rest of us and grab a drink backstage"? Nathalie nodded and grinned back at him, putting up two thumbs. "Okay then I'll see you in a couple of minutes. The stage master will pick you up".
