Gone(A multi bandom story)

Lost In The Echo

*Danny's POV*

"I think it's sad that Ben is still trying to avoid you..." My friend, and old drummer, James told me as I began to slowly sit down on the cozy Asking Alexandria tour bus I had began to miss.
I shrugged to start my response, "I tried my hardest to leave on a friendly note, and I guess he just doesn't understand that I need this... And besides, I'm pretty sure that Denis can take you guys into a better place!"
James nodded, "Yeah... I mean, not that you were a bad singer or anything but, I don't know, he's just got that cute vibe... Ya dig?"
"Yeah, I dig," I laughed a little but quickly shut up as I heard the curtain that blocked the bunk area from the entrance slide open.
A tall, stick thin boy who was no older than 20 walked in with a giant grin on his face and a black rats nest on top of his very chiseled face.
Dang. I could cut my finger open on his cheekbones...
"Danny!" His long legs carried him a few steps towards me, and I noticed that he was wearing pajama pants with the little blue Disney character, Stitch, on them, "No one told me you were stopping by, mate!"
I got up from my position on the brown leather and wrapped the tiny man in my arms into a warm hug, "I was in the Warped Tour area and I thought I'd stop by!"
Once I released him, he looked behind himself towards the bed he had spent the past month touring in, "I can go get Ben if you w-"
"No, thank you Denis..." I rubbed the back of my neck, "He's not exactly fond of me quite yet..."
"So!" James threw himself off of the couch and headed for the tiny cupboards, which were most likely stalked with alcohol, "Any of you hung-"
After a few seconds of silence, Denis scrunched his eyebrows, "James? You okay?"
Our friend had just froze in his place and never finished his sentence.
I made a full circle around James and tried to hide my fear, "Denis... I don't know how, but I think he's frozen?"
Denis' baby face began to fall from its exciting state to a confused daze, "Im going to go get Ben..."
Denis sprinted as fast as his scronny legs could take him towards the back of the bus while shouting out Ben's name.
How could this happen? I haven't had a drink in over six months, so it can't be alcohol right? Am I sleep deprived? Or maybe in sleeping right now...
"Danny!" Denis screeched from the back lounge.
Wow, he sure can scream!
"Ben is... He's stuck too!"
I bit my lower lip as I laid eyes on Matt, their guitar player.
Also, frozen.
I noticed Denis pacing at me with his hand nervously toying with his nose ring.
"Danny?" He released his jewelry and placed his arm behind my back, "Are you feeling all right?"
No... I- I can't speak! It's getting dark... The last thing I felt was Denis shaking my shoulders and I heard my name in his voice fading...

Soon, I woke up in a dark room with Denis asleep, and snoring, on my chest.
"What the..." I whispered, trying to catch my breath.
"AHHH, THE LUCKY TWO! WELCOME TO MY LITTLE GAME!"
Denis let out one more little purr before snapping his head upwards towards the voice.
"Danny, what's going on?" He asked quickly.
"FUNNY YOU ASK THAT, DENIS! I'LL TELL YOU THAT TWO OF OUR OTHER CONTESTANTS ANONYMOUSLY CHOSE YOU BOTH TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW. HOW FUNNY, RIGHT?"
Denis tucked his knees to his chest and curled into a ball of anxiety.
"ONE OF YOU HAS BEEN THOUGHT OF BY ONE OF MY CONTESTANTS AS "THEY WISHED YOU WERE HERE" AND THE OTHER WAS THOUGHT OF, BY ANOTHER CONTESTANT, AS "IM GLAD THEY AREN'T HERE"! HAHA, IM NOT TELLING YOU WHICH IS WHICH THOUGH!"
I sighed and scratched my head, "Hey, whoever you are! You're scaring him..."
Denis was on the verge of tears.
"SUCK IT UP DUDE! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE EXCITED YOU WERE PICKED! NOW, LET ME EXPLAIN THE RULES!"
