"Methane I think we went the wrong way." I said, beginning to get concerned. We had just entered a deserted town. There was no signs in sight and no people to ask directions.

"Nonsense!" She grinned, "We're just taking a minor detour." Grabbing my hand, she pulled me towards one of the buildings. The sign had been ripped off of it and the paint chipped away from the walls. It had no doors or windows, just half a mannequin where a window should be. 

As we entered, I realised that this was once a clothes shop. There was still a phenomenal amount of clothes about, but they were all girly t-shirts and skirts and dresses and heels. "Uhh...Methane?" I said.

She just laughed and took me to the other side of the shop where there was broken escalators beside the wall. We walked up them and as we reached the second floor, I realised that it was much more impressive than the first floor. I saw leather jackets and coats, band merch, studded belts, boots, DMs, Converse, hats, everything. "We're getting out of these goddamn clothes before we're recognised." Methane stated and headed towards the t-shirts.  

"I thought nearly all the places like this had been raided," I said to Methane somewhere around 20 minutes later, as I was looking at the shoes, "and were empty and/or burned down?"

"They have been," she replied, "but this place isn't anywhere on the map, it's been deserted for about 15 years, WAY before BL/I took over."

Shocked, I just nodded and turned my attention back towards the shoes. I decided on a black pair of Converse high-tops. Moments later, Methane skipped over to where I was sitting, she was wearing light grey jeans, bright blue DMs, a dark red t-shirt that had some weird symbols on it, like a triangle with a horizontal line through the middle and a black beanie which read "Mindless Self Indulgence" in pink writing. In her hands she held a black hoodie that had a skull with bat wings on the back and 'Avenged Sevenfold' on the front, and in her other hand, a leather jacket that was similar to the one Jimmy used to wear - it had a white skull with bat wings on the back with 'Avenged Sevenfold' written around it. Avenged Sevenfold, I thought Man, those were the days. 

She grinned at me and held up the two jackets, "Which one?" she asked. 

"The leather one," I pointed towards the leather jacket and her smile grew even wider. Dropping the hoodie, she put on the leather jacket. 

"Ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah!" She nodded, "I need to do one thing first though." 

Heading over towards what was probably the counter where you payed for the clothes, she lifted out a pair of scissors. Then she walked over towards the cracked wall mirror and took off her beanie. It dropped to the floor and she lifted the scissors to her hair and she cut it. I gasped. I had known Methane for years and she had aways refused to cut her hair. After 5 minutes, she set the scissors on the floor and picked up her beanie. There were purple locks of hair everywhere, so she brushed herself clean of them and they joined the rest of the hair on the floor. 

Personally, I thought she looked stunning with her new hair. She had cut it from waist-length to shoulder-length. It really suited her, and I was sure that when we got back to her hideout, her friends would be more shocked at her hair than she fact she was alive! 

"Can we go to Vegas?" she asked eagerly.

"Uhh...I don't think Vegas is there anymore," I laughed in response.

"Damn..." she sighed and began to walk towards the escalators, "well, we better get going."

"Move over," Korse commanded as he opened the door on the side of the car where I sat. Scared, I scrambled over to the other side of the car. The two back doors opened and two Dracs got in, one held a gun to the back of my head and I shut my eyes. Korse started the engine. 

"HEY!" I heard someone shout from outside the car, I opened an eye and saw Raindrop standing there - I'm sure her eyes were filled with shock, if I could see them past her hair. Korse began to back out of the driveway but Raindrop grabbed her gun and shot at the car's tyres and then at the windscreen. The car stopped immediately, Korse was unconscious. Raindrop yelled something into the house and ran towards the car. But the two Dracs were still conscious, I felt an arm wrap around my neck and it held me to the chair. The other Drac seemed to have disappeared, but as I looked out of the car I saw that it had Raindrop pinned against a wall with a gun to her forehead. 

I didn't know what happened in those next few seconds, it went by in a blur. One minute Raindrop and I were both helpless, about to be slaughtered by Dracs, and the next both Dracs were lying in the backseat of the car along with Korse and I was standing beside Raindrop, breathing heavily. 

"OH MY GOD."
