Song: Lordi - Hard rock hallelujah
//Septiishu//

Signe's POV

Everybody thought that I was the cutest, most innocent person in class.
Pastel clothes, good grades.
But I had a side I never showed anyone. I loved hard rock.

I never invited anyone to my home. Mainly because of my room. All black walls, black carpets, black furniture. Hard rock bands' posters all over the walls. To me it was the paradise.

That night I was about to go to a club, where an amateur hard rock band was giving a concert.
I put my favourite black dress, black eyeshadow and black lipstick on. I could finally be myself.

When I arrived they have already started playing. They sounded pretty good for an amateur band as far as I heard.
Not that many people seemed to be interested in them. They had a cool name though. Raised to the Ground.
I looked at all of the members.
The drummer guy really caught my eye. He seemed to be really good at what he was doing.
I did find one thing really weird about him. He was wearing a black hat, and no matter how much he moved his head, it wouldn't fall off.

It was an odd thing to notice... But for some reason it really bothered me. I didn't know why, though.

-Okay, Club Skullz, this is our final song, which iiiiiisss... Chop Suey!

Damn, I knew I should have hurried more. At least Chop Suey is a good song.

When the song ended I ran out as fast as I could. Not because it was bad, but rather because somebody had started smoking next to me and I felt like the cigarette smoke was burning my eyes and my throat.

I sat down on a bench in front of the club. After a few minutes I heard footsteps coming towards me. Somebody sat down next to me.

-Hey, what's up?

I looked up. It was the drummer guy. He had a slight Irish accent.
-I'm Sean.
-Oh, sorry. I zoned out. I'm Signe. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you as well. Sorry for bothering ya, I just saw you rush out after we finished. Did you not like it or something?
-Oh, no, it's not that, you did amazing. Someone started smoking next to me, and I couldn't breath well because of it.
-That's good then... I mean it's not! You know what I mean!

I chuckled at his awkwardness. After that we just started talking about all kinds of stuff. We actually had a lot in common. I dunno why, but I just felt like I could tell him anything.

-Y'know, I might seem like a crazy rock chick now, but nobody knows about this side of me.
-How come?
-At school I wear pastel clothes and I'm the top student.
-Why don't you tell you friends that you like hard rock?
-I don't know... I just don't want them to think less highly of me.
-I get it I guess. I'm not what I seem like either. But I can't tell anyone. I feel like I can trust you... But you'd either think I'm crazy, or you'd freak out.
-C'mon, it can't be that bad!
-Signe...
-Please tell me! Pleeease!
-Fine... I guess. But promise me you won't freak out!

He stood up. I could see that he was really nervous.
After a few seconds he suddenly took his hat off. I gasped.
Two black horns. That's what he was hiding.

-Are you...
-A demon? Pretty much.

I saw his wings open. His black, featherless wings.

-You know how our name is Raised to the ground? Yeah, that's quite literally what happened to us. We're all demons.

I didn't know what to think. It was fascinating, scary and unbelievable at the same time. One thing about it was really bothering me.

-Why? Why did you come here?
-The world is ending in a week. We're here to make sure everything goes well.
-Why did you even tell me then? I'm gonna die soon anyway.
-N-no! I won't let you die!
-Why? And... How?
-I... I think I fell in love with you! I don't know how, but I just... I dunno... I'm not supposed to feel anything. But I do. And it's weird. You make me feel warmer inside. I want to save you from the apocalypse, but there's only one way to do that...
-What is it?

-I'd have to turn you into a demon. I know it sounds crazy. But I don't want to force anything on you so... I want you to decide. Do you want to die in the apocalypse as a clean human, or do you want to live as a dark demon?

This whole thing felt unreal. I was living my normal teen life just a few hours ago and now... I'm faced with a decision I never thought of happening.

If I decide to die in a week, I can spend time with family and friend, but possibly feel guilty the whole time for not telling them the world is ending. And... I don't know what happens after death.

If I decide to turn, I... I don't know. Would I be able to say goodbye to my family? Possibly never see them again? But there's Sean... He's the nicest guy I've ever met... He'd be heartbroken if I died.

After a few minutes of thinking I made up my mind.

-Sean... Turn me into a demon!
-Are you sure?
-Yes. I thought about both options. I chose this one.
-Okay...

Sean stepped closer to me. Like... Much closer. So close that our faces were only a few inches apart.

-Are you ready?
He whispered.

-Yes...

He pressed his lips against mine. I felt electricity and heat running through my body. I felt all of my fears going away. But... I also felt my more complicated emotions go away as well. All I had left was happiness, sadness, anger and love. I felt as horns and wings grew out of my head and my back.

Sean pulled away and I slowly opened my eyes. He smiled at me. I couldn't help but do the same.

My entire life changed drastically in a matter of seconds. But it was OK. Because the moment I pulled Sean closer for another kiss, I knew I made the right decision.

New Years Eve surprise!
(A bit different from the previous one eh? :D Sorry if it's a bit sloppy, I wrote it on like 5 different days. The next 2 will be Amyplier)
