This drawing is not mine, I do NOT claim it as mine.

I looked up as the audience settled down. Reyer started playing.

'I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's thrown, to the kingdom where all must pay homage to music, my music.'

I stretched out my hand to Lizzie and she held onto it.

'You have come here for one purpose and one alone, since the moment I first heard you sing I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing for my music, my music.'

I walked backwards slowly with Liz following me. I heard the music start to play.

'Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
and the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
hear it, fear it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes and let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night.'

I felt Lizzie go limp in my arms and due to my upper body strength, I picked her up and carried her to the platform in the middle of the stage and laid her down. I then looked towards the audience and whispered.

'You alone can make the song take flight
Help me make the music of the night.'

It was silent for a beat till all the audience cheered and clapped giving us a standing ovation. The curtains closed and I shook Lizzie awake and we walked to the front of the stage as the curtains drew back and the crowd cheered as the whole cast and stage hands bowed.

I was smiling so much my cheekbones ached. We ran off stage and got ambushed by fans of the show saying "you did good"
As I was looking around, me and liz had been separated, I felt arms wrap around my waist I smiled and turned around 'Mark what are you doing?'
He smiled and replied 'I want you to meet someone' I nod and he pulled me through the crowd to a black haired man.
'Brother' Mark called. The man turned around. 'Clary meet my brother' I stared at the man.
