Revlis the Hedgehog

Chapter six- Demons

    As we were heading to the school, I had changed back to normal. I was planning on trying to switch back to the demonic form when I began singing. As we pulled into the parking lot, I saw someone standing at the doorway, holding it open for late comers.

    "Good evening, sir." he said politely. I dipped my head to him.

    We walked in and sat with the others in the room to the left. Silver looked as nervous as I felt.

    "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" he said. "I'm so Gosh dang nervous!"

    "Silver, chill! You'll be playing the keyboard. Not singing. I'm the one that's singing." I snapped.

    "I know! And Manic's playing the drums, and stuff. But I'll be singing too. I'll be one of the backup singers." he told me.

    "Oh, yeah. You and Manic are the backup singers, aren't you?" I smirked.

    "Yeah. Good thing I'm good at playing the keyboard. Otherwise the song would be ruined. Poor Sonia. I wish she could've been here. But she's sick." he sighed. "She's way better at playing the keyboard than I am."

    "Silver, don't tell me you have feelings for that know-it-all." I frowned at him.

    "N- no! Of course I don't!" he flattened his ears and his face turned a bright red.

    "Silver! Your muzzle is as red as Knuckles' fur! Don't try to deny it." I smiled.

    "Alright, alright.... I may have some feelings for her." he shifted his weight from foot to foot.

    "Okay, I'll stop bothering you." As I said that, an intercom somewhere in the room turned on.

    "Revlis Hedgehog, please come on stage for your performance." it said.

    "That'd be us." I said to Silver and Manic. They both looked up excitedly.

    "Come on." We stepped on stage to a bunch of applause.

    I straightened my ears. I looked over at Manic and Silver and smiled.

    "Guys, wait!" we heard a harsh whisper over to the right. There stood Reflects, holding an awesome looking electric guitar.

    "Reflects?" I asked, stunned.

    "Y- yeah. I... I wanted to say I'm sorry for strangling you the other day." he scratched the back of his head. "I was wondering if... if I could play, too?"

    "Sure." I murmured.

    "Thanks!" He put his amp out on stage and plugged in his guitar.

    "Come on."I said to the other two.

    We got into our separate spots, Silver behind his keyboard, I behind the microphone, Manic just gently touched a medallion that hung around his neck and drums appeared in front of him, and Reflects behind his guitar.

    And then I crouched on the floor, ready to transform. I heard confused murmurs out in the audience. I had told Manic and Silver that we would begin singing after I stood back up. I heard Manic whispering to Reflects what was going on.

    It turned out that I didn't need to wait to long for the change. As I was changing, I did the same as before, and then I stood up. And I began the song.

    "When the days are cold, and the cards all fold and the saints we see, are all made of gold..."

    "When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail are the worst of all, and the bloods run stale..."

    "I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you, but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide...

    "No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed, this is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come..."

    Right here we all sang. Manic, Silver, and Reflects sang a little off key, and softer.

    "When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide,"

    "Don't get too close, it's dark inside, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide."

    "When the curtains call is the last of all, when the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl,"

    "So they dug your grave and the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you've made."

    "Don't wanna let you down, but I am, HELL bound though this is all for you, don't wanna hide the truth,"

    "No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed, this is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come,"

    "When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide,"

    "Don't get too close, it's dark inside, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide."

    "They say it's what you make, I say it's up to fate, it's woven in my soul, I need to let you go."

    "Your eyes they shine so bright, I wanna save that light, I can't escape this now, unless you show me how!"

    "When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide,"

    "Don't get too close, it's dark inside, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide!"

    At the last word I raised my fist in the air. My eyes were closed, and I was breathing hard.

    I was just about to open my eyes, when a knife went through my chest.
