Onyx's POV -

"Onyx please wake up" I hear Jinxx say in a weak voice. I feel a finger brush a piece of hair from my face. My eyes slowly open to see a sad looking Jinxx. 

"Jinxx what happened?" I questioned as I sit up on my bed. 

"You just screamed then collapsed and hit your head on the ground. For a minute there I thought that I lost my best friend" Jinxx says hugging me. 

"Oh Jinxxy" I silently cried and hugged him back.

...

Jinxx left about ten minutes ago, he hand to go to band practice. But my memory started to flood back and what Jinxx had explained does not match how I remember it.

I saw the 'Plague doctor' walking down the street, I screamed, he ran at me, stabbed me, then disappeared, and I blacked out.

I run into the bathroom, flick on the lights and shuffle over to the full body mirror. I lift up my shirt and turn and look at my side. No stab wounds. I look up at myself in the mirror as the door bell rings instead.

I walk out of the bathroom and to the door. I open it to find a single red rose at my feet. "What the?" I whisper to myself as I kneel down and pick up the flower.

I think that I should do a little bit of googling.

I'm figuring that this has something to do with the mask, so I found an artical online that said, In the 17th, 18th, & 19th centuries some doctors wore a beak-like mask, which was filled with aromatic items.

I also found a list of those 'Aromatic Items'

- Aromatic Items -

Juniper Berry

Ambergris

Lemon Balm

Mint Leaves

camphor

Cloves

Laudanum

Myrrh

ROSE PETALS!

Storax

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that the 'Plague doctor' is the guy that sent me the rose and is the same person that sent me the mask and the same person that I guess stabbed me.  

I guess I have a 'Plague doctor'

"Hey Jinxxy how was band practice?" I question giving him a hug. 

"Good we are working on a new song" he says pulling away from the hug. 

"Oh cool whats it called?" I ask in excitement. 

"Beautiful Remains"

I freeze as I here the word remains.

All I can think about is the remains of the people infected by the plague. 

"Onyx! Are you ok?" Jinxx asks as he puts a hand on my shoulder. 

"Oh i'm fine I was just thinking about how I want to meet your band mates" I say as I mentally face palm at my bad lying. 

"Oh well I can get them together tomorrow" Jinxx says and plays with his fingers. 

"Sounds good, but right now I need some rest. I'll see you tomorrow let's say around lunch time" I say hurriedly.  

"Ok bye Onyx!" Jinxx says and walks out the door and goes home.

As Jinxx leaves, I run into the bathroom and close the door. I lean back on the door and slide down it. 

"Oh what did I get myself into?" I cry into my hands.

I eventually fall asleep on the bathroom floor.
