"You know, if this is going to be a real relationship i have to hear you talk sometime. You can't text forever!"
A message appeared on Robert's phone.
*why not?*
Robert sighed and kissed Venom’s cheek.
The girls, Robert Ortiz, Ronnie Radke and Andy Six were in a limo, heading to Vegas. Sarah had some connections who said they could get some sweet new kits and guitars there.
"So Shadow, you gonna get a new guitar today?" Max was happy she'd called him back.
"Yeah maybe, seeing as I don't have to save up to see Andy's show now." She knew that it would make Max a bit jealous.
"You know, us singers, we gotta stick together, techno and rap are pushin us outta the music business." Ronnie was sounding too serious.
"I get what your saying, but if we keep making awesome music that people love, then we'll never have to worry!" Masquerade explained. Wasn't that simple?
"Wow Mask, you know so much on such a deep level. I'm captivated by your intelligence..."
"Aaaawww, so sweet!"
They got to the place; Shadow thought she heard angels singing as they entered. Venom let out a small squeal, hoping no one would hear.
"Hey look Ronnie; they got the same guitar as Jinxx in here!" Andy was trying to get all of them to be friends and not two separate bands.
"Wow, Jinxx has a fantastic taste in guitars! I like the Ouija board." Ronnie understood what Andy was doing.
"Venom, come have a look at this!"
*I've always admired Jinxx's guitar, I wonder if I can get a bass to look like that*
"Come on Venom, you're being rude. I know you're the eldest, but you can't always do whatever you want." Shadow was right, even for a youngest sibling.
Venom took a deep breath. "Fine. You know you are the most annoying little sister ever?"
Andy looked confused.
"You're sisters?"
"Yes. Mask and I are twins, Shadow is our little sister." Venom pointed to Masquerade with the dreary tone of constant repetition.
"You two looked similar..." Ronnie was putting the pieces together you could almost see a little light bulb switch on above his immaculately styled hair.
They walked around the store for ages; Venom and Robert were testing out every single drum kit and bass guitar in the place until everyone got a headache. Shadow and tested the strings on at least thirty guitars. Mask, Andy and Ronnie just sang random songs into the mics to test their vocal chords, oh and the mic quality.
"Hey girls, lets sing The Flood!" Masquerade wanted everyone to play together instead of just loud annoying noises everywhere.
"That's one of Craig’s songs isn't it?" Ronnie did not seem happy.
"Aaww please Ronnie! Just see how good we are by ourselves."
"Shadow, pass me that mic!" after not hearing Venom talk for so long, it seemed like the words weren't actually coming out of her mouth.
Masquerade picked up Jinxx's guitar replica and Venom stroked her fingers over the bass strings. Robert sat at the drums to give them a hand.
"I can't believe, the drama that I'm in. The flood is getting closer; I don't think they know that i know how to swim..." They sounded beautiful; all of them had improved since the concert.
Shadow was scream singing amazingly.
Venom was playing better than ever and Mask could play the guitar almost as well as Monte
the girls almost shook the place.
"All because I'm..."
"LEAVING YOU BEHIND!!"
"You guys have been practicing haven't you?" Andy was impressed at how awesomely the girls could sing.
"Just a little," Venom and Masquerade said in unison.
"We have to do another concert. All of us, together again. That would be amazing!" Robert just wanted to drum on stage again with everyone else playing around him, especially Venom.
Shadow bought a negative version of Max's bass in 10 Miles Wide in guitar form, Mask bought an electric blue guitar and Faker bought purple and black bass. They packed all the stuff into the back of the limo and were about to go to the hotel when they were approached by a group of gangsters.
"Yo, emo, what's with the eye shadow?" Andy stepped forward when he heard the remark.
"Actually, it's eye LINER. There's a difference. Now if you wouldn't mind, pull up your pants and leave." Andy turned around when he heard the giggles of the girls at his smart retort.
"Oh, don't think you're getting off that easy." Shadow could see they were getting ready for a fight.
"Man, I'm so glad i wore high heels today." Masquerade wasn't missing out on this.
Venom pulled a small pocket knife from the side of her black army boots, flicked it open and stood next to Robert.
"Ladies, please, let the men sort out this one." The wanna be gangster was getting cocky.
"Don't think we're missing out because you think we’re puny little girls." Shadow unhooked the chains off her belt.
There were six of them and four of the (stupid asshole) gangsters; this was going to be an easy fight. Robert landed the first punch right into the jaw of the first one. Venom ran, grabbed the wrist of another one, punched him in the stomach and said to him through gritted teeth, "want to see real emo?" and sliced him across the wrist. Masquerade was everywhere; she was punching and kicking as much as she could. The guys were all over the place, punching and choking. Shadow had her chains wrapped around the wrists of another gangster, while Andy punched him hard in the gut and face. Masquerade almost pushed him aside and kicked the gangster right between the legs. He was the last one left standing and she still had adrenaline rushing trough her body. She hit him until he was unconscious. They left all four of them there, unconscious and bleeding badly.
They got to the hotel, got the key and went right to the top floor, to a three room penthouse.
"Well, this has been an exciting day, I'm going to bed." Venom really did look tired, or maybe her eye liner got smudged while they were fighting... She walked into one of the bedrooms and put her bag down. She heard the door close behind her. She turned around and saw Robert standing there.
“Got room for 2 in that little bed of yours?” He lowered his sunglasses and winked at her playfully. Venom pulled him by the collar onto the bed, giggling girlishly.
"I'm feeling kinda tired too, you coming Ronnie?" Masquerade didn't look tired; she looked mischievous. Ronnie didn't say anything, he just ran into Sarah's room, unbuckling his belt as he went.
“Bed time it fucking is baby, I’m there!” The door slammed behind him. Shadow grabbed her chain, wrapped it around Andy's wrist and dragged him into the last room left.
“Guess it’s just you and me now, Andy.” She poked her tongue out and closed to door to her room.
