Bonn Germany
Inside the Beethoven family home up stairs in a very small apartment complex A young red haired freckled man comes his hair back with gel only for more curls to pop out . Kaspar Anton Karl van Beethoven the younger brother of Ludwig van Beethoven . " Hurry up Kaspar, we need to leave! " A deep voice shouted through the room . Kaspar didn't say anything, just tried to finish is dressing himself He took a few papers of his notes . Before he had a chance to leave Nick stopped him in his tracks . "You need to stop while you're ahead " he glared at his glasses tilted . "Why ? This is my dream " Kasper question "and besides my father is waiting on me and I want to get home by 10 pm ". "Do you know how judgemental those angel judges are ? there're assholes " Nick tried to warn him ." Kaspar please stop " the 18 year old Nikolas shook the 20 year old " Give up ! Your music is ass just like Ludwig ! Musical talent died off in this family long ago ! Stop while you still have dignity! Those judges will not give you a shred of mercy " Nick kept shaking him .
"Stop shaking me and stop comparing me to Ludwig! " Kaspar grabbed his younger brothers arm . "Ludwig this! Ludwig that ! if you and father had that much concern over him he would have never left to begin with ! Now this is my chance to shine and your shoving me in the dark !" The red head snapped back . " Anton do you really want to be a musician or are you doing it because father is musical failure with obsession of Mozart " Nick sighed . " I'm doing it because...." Kaspar tried to think of a reply. Was it because of his dream or his father shoving it down his throat for the past 18 years . " I'm going to be the next Mozart " Kaspar gave his answer . "Yeah that's what they all say " Nick pulled out an orange bottle of green gel pills and a bottle of strong "special beer ". "What is that.." Kaspar question, " These are Mothers happy grass pills and fathers very strong beer mix them together and all that stress will melt away " the younger brother insisted .
The sun was sinking faster by the minute , the horse carriage clopped by . Kaspar felt an intense burning inside of his chest. This moment could make or break him and his father isn't helping . "Stand up Kaspar your pissin me off ' Johann demanded. "When have I ever not pissed you off? '' Kaspar rolled his eyes . "Hush up this is my chance to make my son the next Mozart in case well ...Ludwig fails you are a back up plan " . Kaspar gives Johann a frown looking him straight in the eye , "Father I'm only going to say this shit once so I hope you're paying attention " . He sat back giving his father his full opinion. "I'm not your replacement doll in case Ludwig so called fails and I'm not Mozart " he told him .
Johann didn't say anything and just decided to lay down while Kaspar practiced. It was a while until they stopped at the audition. Kaspar got up waking over to the door with Johann following him. He sat in front of 3 angel judges and stared at Kaspar with a stabbing glare. "Hello my name is Kaspar Anton Karl van Beethoven .. I'm 20 years old and ,,,and I want to be a composer " he stated . "Go on " an angel wrote down her notes. Kaspar put the papers in order on the piano . He took a deep breath playing the piano called "Tanz der Löwen " . A piece he had been working on for 4 months straight . That very note that will make or break him. A rather unique tempo played out sinking In with the rhythm of the piano. The judges wrote on the paper as Kaspar kept playing, for once he felt his worries fly away gaining confidence he never thought he would ever have. It was different from what piano players normally bring . All in a different format blended towards creativity. Kaspar opened his green eyes seeing a flying object thrown at him.
*crack*
The red brick cracked in half, blood spraying out of Kaspar 's head as he was violently shoved to the ground. He didn't even have time to react before rocks were smashing against his body . " BOOO YOU CALL THAT TALENT? '' One angel shouted, throwing a huge rock at him . The hits were so hard he fell a snap from his feathery orange wing. A sharp pain hit the joint of Kaspar wings but it was nothing compared to the same he felt deep inside . All that work, all that training, all that effort...for nothing. Everything happened so fast that the next thing Kaspar knew he ran out of the building smelling the scent of an old horse . "KASPAR '' Johann ran to Kaspar shoving him up the wall " What the hell was that? What if the church hears about this ? Are you trying to embarrass your FATHER? '' he shouted. Kaspar didn't say anything, just tried to hide his tears and the humiliation. "Answer me ! '' Johann being much taller lifted up Kaspar , " I wanted to be different " he answered. Johann threw Kaspar on the pavement using his boot to snap Kaspar's already damaged wing in half . The bone split between the wing, stretching out skin and feathers causing Kaspar to flinch . The older god then curb stomp the ginger head onto the side spilling out blood and giving Kaspar a black eye . It wasn't the first time he had been pummeled by Johann. However he has officially grown tired of it . Without warning Kaspar smashed a bottle of the beer he had earlier, forming a weapon in which he pointed at Johann. "If you touch me again I'll shank you ! " Kaspar growled.
"I didn't even hit you that hard " Johann scoffed , blood ran though Kaspar's eye . He coughed up small amounts of blood then was grabbed by Johann "Come on one time we practiced some more " he dragged Kaspar back in the carriage, 10 pm arrived and Kaspar was still on the piano. "Kaspar chill pit " Nick nudged him , " I'm not stopping even if it kills me! " Kaspar stated . "No one is dying over this..." Nick shoved a handful of "gummies" down Kaspar's mouth. "Who said anything about dying ..." Kaspar felt a strange sensation over his head..a similar feeling to playfully the piano.... His eyes glazed over as Nick kept feeding him . "Eeee i...ah..ni...Nicholas..." Kaspar's eyes got bigger "What did you put in my mouth ...". "Gummies " Nicholas replied, grabbing Kaspar away from the piano, "Just relax...."
