In 2018, Freya Nightingale was poised to be the next big then in World Football, but three days before she was to join one of the biggest clubs in Europe, she vanished.
What will happen when Freya re-appears?
"And our last performer for the night." Cosette says as I stand off stage. "Please welcome my sister, Freya."
Once I'm introduced, the crowd claps as I come on stage so I wave then I stand behind the mic and plug in my guitar.
"Hello everyone." I say into the mic.
Every month my bar, the Six Dogs Saloon, has a local music night where up and coming artists from the Denver area come play a few songs at my bar.
I made a bet with my teammates that if we won our last game then I'd perform a couple songs tonight.
We won 4-0 so here we are.
"I hope you all have had a nice night." I say. "Uh as you can tell I'm not good at public speaking."
I'm really bad at public speaking.
"So why don't we just get to the first song which I wrote about Raven." I say as I look at my girl

"Aww." My sister says as I see Raven smile.
"This song is called Sweet Creature." I say then I start playing my guitar.
A few seconds later I start singing.
Sweet creature Had another talk about where it's going wrong But we're still young We don't know where we're going but we know where we belong
And ohhhh, we started Two hearts in one home It's hard when we argue We're both stubborn, I know
But oh Sweet creature, sweet creature Wherever I go, you bring me home Sweet creature, sweet creature When I run out of road, you bring me home
Sweet creature Running through the garden, oh, where nothing bothered us But we're still young I always think about you and how we don't speak enough
And ohhhh, we started Two hearts in one home I know it's hard, we argue We're both stubborn, I know
But oh Sweet creature, sweet creature Wherever I go, you bring me home Sweet creature, sweet creature When I run out of road, you bring me home
Oh Ooooh Oh
And ohhh, when we started Just two hearts in one home It gets harder when we argue We're both stubborn, I know
But oh Sweet creature, sweet creature Wherever I go, you bring me home Sweet creature, sweet creature When I run out of road, you bring me home You bring me home
"Aww." I hear Mikaela say as I see Raven smiling at me.
I smile at my girl then I start playing my next song.
Don't know what to say to you now Standing right in front of you Don't know how to fade in and out Don't know how to play it cool Lose a little guard, let it down We don't have to think it through We've got to let go
I wanna give you wild love The kind that never slows down I wanna take you high up Let our hearts be the only sound I wanna go where the lights burn low and you're only mine I wanna give you wild love
Tried to call you to feel you close From a runway in Tokyo Let's leave the atmosphere, disappear There's always something left to lose
But I wanna give you wild love The kind that never slows down I wanna take you high up Let our hearts be the only sound I wanna go where the lights burn low and you're only mine I wanna give you wild love I wanna give you wild love
(Love, love, love) (Love, love, love) I wanna give you wild love (Love, love, love) I wanna give you wild love (Love, love, love)
Let's be reckless, unaffected Running out until we're breathless Let's be hopeful, don't get broken Let's stay caught up in the moment
I wanna give you wild love The kind that never slows down I wanna take you high up Let our hearts be the only sound I wanna go where the lights burn low and you're only mine I wanna give you wild love I wanna say I wanna give you wild love
Give you wild love
Wild love Wild love Wild love
"Oh whoops." I say when I remember I forgot to say the name of the song. "That song was called Wild Love."
"Poohead." I hear Everest say.
"This last song is an Irish parting song that my grandma taught me when I was little." I say. "This is The Parting Glass."
"WHEW." Cosette cheers then I start singing.
Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've e'er done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To mem'ry now I can't recall So raise to me the parting glass Good night and joy be to you all
And If I had money enough to spend And leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town That sorely has my heart beguiled. Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips She surely has my heart in thrall So raise to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all.
Of all the comrades that e'er I had Who'll be sorry for my going away And of all the sweethearts that e'er I known Who'd bid me one more day to stay But as it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be to you all
"WHEW." My mama cheers.
"Goodnight everyone." I say. "And drive home safe."
