Believe in Another Way Out

Voices of the Gods

This happened four years ago. I was only fourteen. This is my last year of school and iI was lonelier than ever. I talked to absolutely no one and no one wanted to talk to me. I didn't blame them. I grew pale and my red hair didn't shine anymore. There were bags under my eyes. The hazel of my eyes had burned and my lips were flat and grey. I was a monster in my eyes.

I used to wonder why people would wear so much black, but now it seems obvious that black souls would be attracted to their outer shells.

Well, anyways, it was my last year in school. Alone and unwanted. It was one day in math class where someone decided to talk to me.

She was a new student so she didn't know me.

"Hi!" She said with a bright smile.

I smiled weakly and replied quietly, "Hello."

"My name's Abbey."

"I'm Scava."

Her eyes widened in amazement, "Scava! Like in Hollywood Undead Scava?"

"Uh, Hollywood Undead?"

"Yes! They are absolutely amazing and the members are just sexy!"

'You should rip her heart out and make her dead.'

I shook their voices away, "I'm sorry to said that I've never heard of them before."

"Oh my god!" She starter to go through her bag. "How could you not! If I ever had to stop listening to them I would just die!"

'You should kill her to stop her talking. Strangle her with her headphones. Rip her ears out!'

This is why I hated talking to people because the voices just won't shut up.

"Okay so this song is called S.C.A.V.A. I think you like it."

'She doesn't have the right to tell you what you like or not! You should kill and...'

'When the end is getting closer, and the earth has burned the sky, now repent 'cause it's all over. Just let me die...'

I don't know how it happened, but the second the singer started to sing, he shut out the dark voices. His voice was so soothing, I actually felt happy for that split moment. A new voice had taken over. His voice was dark yet beautiful. Something I had given up in. It was amazing how protected I could feel with his voice wrapping around every part of my soul. When the first singer would sing, I would feel happy and free and when the second singer would I would feel protected. Everything was just so wonderful! The music was soothing and filled with life! The song finally came to a halt. I felt my heart flutter with amusement and happiness. Two emotions I haven't felt in a very long time. I handed the headphones back to her.

"They are amazing!"

She smiled brightly, "I told you. They just recently brought out a new album. They just keep getting better and better."

School had ended for the day but during the whole time I had asked her all about the band Hollywood Undead. She told me how they became famous and facts about each member. They were all so fascinating!

On my walk home, I felt so light and happy. Not once did I hear one of their voices.

The second I arrived home, I headed for the computer and YouTubed Hollywood Undead.

The first song that came was 'We Are'.it started so wonderfully although their masks did scare me a bit. It started with the two singers from the earlier song and created the same feel. The video was filled with emotion.

Then my heart stopped. A third Singer joined. His voice! It was in between the two former singers. His voice was love and protection. His voice seemed hurt yet fighting. I don't know, it was just perfection!

After the song ended, I instantly checked out the next song. 'Young'. It instantly captivated me. The introduction was so out there. A new voice was in the picture. He seemed like the riot in my head. He was like the voice in me that wanted to fight and be loved! Oh and the lyrics! They all knew exactly what I was going through! The war, the youth, the broken parts!

Again I searched the next song. 'Dead Bite'. It was different from the past song. It was filled with light anger. Like they were mad but not devil mad. Then a new voice was added! Oh his voice was beautiful! It was adorable! I don't know how else to describe it! Then there was that voice again. That voice that made me heart go faster.

I just couldn't stop listening to their beautiful voices and their songs were so filled with life! Something I was lacking of. When the sixth member was added, I almost dies. His voice! Wow! It was deep and sexy. It opened something rare in me. Their songs like 'Outside', 'Lion', 'Bullet', 'Black Dahlia' would make me heart ache and soft tears pour. But other songs like 'Everywhere I Go', 'Pigskin', 'Delish', would make me laugh and giggle. Something I hadn't done in a while. Other songs would bring out the fighter in me. Their songs, their voices, their music it tamed me. It brought me to life. I hadn't been this in love with myself in so long that I had missed the feeling. I was in love with this band.
