Chapter 8 - Inside of Me, Throbbing

The roar of the crowd has put him on pressure as to lift up his virtuoso spirit in order for him to deliver an outstanding act of performance for a one night rock show. The futuristic structured stage is where he would be standing with full pride, showing off his remarkable talent in singing but somehow the bright spotlight and the full packed arena had set him to fear of standing on his own two feet there. The first 30 minutes was such a horrid to him, it wasn’t easy when your blood was rushing in a high flow underneath. Moreover, the heat seemed to be too high for him to withstand on that night. He felt as if boiling water has been raining on him, the heat sensation was clearly burning up under his skin. With his alienated suit covered up his whole body, he didn’t know exactly what was up with him that night.

As the day slowly passed by, the more strange feelings and thoughts has come to haunt him. The weirdest thing of all, his eyes were eyeing to every single soul in the crowd such that they were making his thirst dry up again.

“Can you give me another bottle?” He ordered to one of the Tokio Hotel staff who was clearly in charge of his demands after he has gulped two bottles of mineral water in one go during his take five for the concert that night.

“Err..sure.” The guy must be thinking that he was rather mad on requesting for more H20 while the other band members just stared at him in awkwardness.

“Don’t you guys think it’s like damn hot tonight? Fuh! ” The sweating Bill was fanning himself with his hand on account of waiting his mineral water bottle to be opened by the same guy.

“Dude, you’re crazy! We’re still in Germany, not Asia!” Georg snapped back as Bill was making no sense at all since of course, he was unaware of knowing how the heat was torturing Bill to hell, at that moment. Georg gave Bill another strange look while that lead singer took a fast gulp on his 3rd mineral bottle. In Georg’s mind, he couldn’t stop to wonder what has happened to Bill on that day. Georg would only shook his head and walked away as he knew there will be only one person who should know better to solve Bill’s mysterious puzzle.

After taking a few steps away, Georg found a tall guy with a con-row braided hair and has the photocopy of Bill’s without make-up face was standing on his right, he who goes by the name of Tom. Georg shot a stare at Tom with a sign of ‘you-better- watch-your-brother, he’s-getting-worse!’ before he left them to get himself ready for their next song on stage.

Tom have noticed the signal given to him but as much as he wanted to go one on one with his precious twin brother, but there was no time for them to waste as the concert was still on the run and their take five was about to be over.

“You’re alright now, Bill?” The caring big brother was being concerned over his one and only little brother. “You’re ready to go back on stage?”

To be honest, he was going to say ‘No’ but he just had to nod with an answer of ‘Yes’ as he didn’t want to disappoint his band mates and his fans by pulling off the show just because of his strange sickness of the building up of heat inside which caused the vast amount of water loss in his body. He kept it to himself as he refused to let anyone to be worried sick of his crazy condition. He felt it was just too much going on for only one day and his mind was telling him “Enough with the annoyance to the people around, filling them with a taste of worry and a pinch of fright as my mind was playing some delusional tricks on me. I have to face this alone. I have to fight myself against this! This is all unreal.”

And he was ought to believe everything will be fine right after the show closed the curtains. So no worry thoughts seemed to linger in his mind. The more he worries, the worst it gets.

“If you’re too hot, why don’t you just take off that suit and go naked!” Tom whispered a joke to him. With a laugh, he hit Tom with a punch on the chest and together they went back on stage, smiling as to create more musical mayhem.

That silly statement came from his brother’s mouth was good enough to calm his nerves down and a well proof that nothing strange would actually occur upon a typical rockstar like him, he was just in a lot of pressure making him to come in conclusion that he is one those creatures of the night. But certainly, it was all wrong and his mind was all right after all.

The Tokio Hotel show on stage seemed to go on perfect except for Bill. He may hid it well from the outside but inside of him, he felt like he was gonna blow up in every single second. The blood in his veins flowed in a rush and his body was trembling, triggered him to lust for something such that a remedy for his sickness should be taken in. He just couldn’t understand himself and there was only one wish that he had hope for at that exact moment he stood in front of the crowd, he wished the concert will be over soon because he couldn’t take it anymore on to have a feeling of every network of veins under his skin would cause a fatal destruction to his whole body. Little did he knew, there was only one cure for that and it includes a fresh blood of a human. But where could he get it? He can’t just jump off the stage, dive into the crowd and bite every one of his fans, now right?
