(Check out the video over there >>>> That my fellow killjoys is our adorable MCR Missle Kid,Grace who can sing.And I drew the little skeleton Cournelious in his killjoy jacket.)

--------------------

(This is going to be in Third Peron POV from now on unless you see me write 'Dawns P.O.V' or whatever.It's easier for me.)

A heavy silence,occasionally interrupted by snoring from some of the other Killjoys scattered around the room, settled on Dawn as she stared down at none other than Cornelious.

"Hi,"He repeated,hugging her knee.

The movement was enough to snap her out of her shock.

"Oh my god,where the hell have you been?"She demanded in a whisper,careful not to wake up the others.

"I had to go home for a while.They needed me."

Dawn didn't even have to ask who 'They' were.

"How are they doing?Is The Black Parade back to normal yet?"

Cornelious shook his head sadly replying,"Its chaos....How is he?"

Dawn saw he was pointing at Gerard and sighed heavily.

"Its like.....like 'Party Poison' and 'Gerard Way' are two different people.He's changed.He's angry almost all the time.Every once in a while though he'll act like he use to..."Dawn trailed off staring at the dyed red headed in the bed next to her.

"Dawn....The Black Parade is going to die."

Dawn's gaze immediately turned to Cornelious.

"What?"

"You have to Come with me,"He got to his feet and jumped off the bed.

Dawn groaned internally but got to her feet.

"Oh and tie a bandana over your nose and mouth."

Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion,but she grabbed Gerards bandana and put it on as instructed.

Dawn got a weird sense of Deja Vu as Cornelious turned to the closest wall and marched through it.

She didn't have time to stand around and recall the memory,so she just shoved the thought to the back of her mind and stepped into the wall,where the little skeleton had disappeared seconds before.

Dawn had crossed through the veil into the Black Parade before,but it had never been as bad as this.

She knew why the bandana was necessary now,but she still was choking on the smoke that caused her lungs to constrict.

She couldn't see anything due to the ashes making her eyes sting.

Arms wrapped around her,leading her through the smoke until finally they made it to a bomb shelter.

Dawn collapsed onto her knees,coughing furiously as her lungs tried to fill themselves with something less toxic.

"Sorry,"Cornelious said appearing infront of her.

Before she could snap back a angry reply,a hand appeared infront of her.

It was covered in a black glove that seemed to be made of silk.

The arm was covered by a black marching band jacket.

Dawn looked up properly and saw the familiar boy towering over her..

He smiled softly as she silently took his hand,allowing him to pull her to her feet.

It was the Black Parade Gerard.

He still looked the same.

The marching band outfit and the short blonde hair.

But one thing was different.

His skeleton face paint seemed.....translucent almost....

"Last time I was here you were the most confusing being ever in existence with your 'phantom of Gerard who was also a phantom himself'.Now that im here,I demanded proper answers."

He nodded,clasping his hands behind his back with a smile-almost a smirk-on his face.

"Thats why your here.We've...figured some things out."

"What things?"Dawn demanded crossing her arms.

"Have a seat,"He gestured over towards a metal bunk that was attached to the wall.

"Charming,"She muttered but sat down as instructed and Cornelious sat on her knee.

"As im sure Cornilous has informed you,The Black Parade is going to die."

Dawn huffed.

"I thought you told me last time I was here The Black Parade never dies?We've been over this."We'll Carry On-"

"Not this time."The tone in his voice as he cut her off caused her to shiver.

His face had lost all signs of joy.

It was cold,serious....dangerous.

"Whats so different this time?"Dawn forced out cautiously.

"We were wrong...I was wrong."

"Stop being dramatic."Dawn snapped.

He sighed heavily.

"Im going to die because im a part of him.Gerard is dying."

 The words echoed in Dawns head,making her frown.

Gerard's Dying?

Gerard's not dying.

He's fine...just.....grouchy.

"Explain,"She ordered.

He began to pace as he spoke,

"Im his phantom,his shadow as we've discussed last time we met.Im a part of him that he left here.He,I,didn't think it would do anything other than leave the phantom behind to run things.But I didn't think things through properly,"

He was using his hands in rapid motions as he spoke now,stress written all over his face.

All he was managing to do was confuse the fuck out of Dawn.

"Im basically a piece of his soul.A soul is like a magnet,the pieces pull at each other,attract to each other.Im him,Im Gerard.We're the same being.He's been acting different hasn't he?He doesn't seem like himself anymore?"

Dawn hesitated before nodding.

"Thats because were pulling at each other.He's slowly losing himself.Im his center piece and all the other pieces are slowly coming back to me."

He faltered now,turning to look at Dawn to see if she was keeping up.

"What happens when all the pieces return to you?"She asked before he could launch into talking again.

"He will be dead,the problem is he's become human.So once me and him clash back together its going to cause a ripple effect.The Black Parade is dying with him.Thats why theres so much smoke.Its slowly caving in on itself.When me and him clash together completely,its going to collapse the Black Parade just like its going to collapse us."
