Crimson's POV

A faint light wakes me up as the sound of people walk by. One of the things that you need to know about me is that if murdering mornings were possible, I would be the first person at it's throat.

The people who pass by give me an expectant look as if to say 'are you gonna play or what?' Believe me, singing is one of the best things that happened to me, but it's the morning! I plug my guitar into the mini amplifier sat next to me, I begin to press down and pick the golden strings.

____________________________________ "Ritual"

Praying for what your heart brings

Thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes

You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming

Now what you do to feel alive

Rise up and celebrate your life

We're not alone in our ritual

Sing for what you feel inside

Becoming one with our ritual

Singing songs of the old days

Try to remember what's gone by

Stronger in new ways

Don't care what they say,

This is your lifeIt's time to rejoice

Rise up and celebrate your life

We're not alone in our ritual

Sing for what you feel inside

Becoming one with our ritual

Our destiny is what we learned

Together wanting something more

Their misery and demons burn

A feeling that's worth fighting for

Rise up and celebrate your life

We're not alone in our ritual

Sing for what you feel inside

Becoming one with our ritual

Becoming one with our ritual

(Ritual by The Black Veil Brides)

[__________________________________]

The black veil brides were one of my favourite bands and yes the 'shadow people' were the ones who taught me how to play guitar. The reason why I call them the 'shadow people' was because well, it really does pain me to say that I can't remember who they were. But now they are gone maybe forever and it's all my fault.

I look into the guitar case infront of me to see a bunchbof change and the occasional bank note but also a piece of crumpled paper........

Dear Crimson,

It's been a while since I've seen your face and heard your voice. Call me on this number 07788867712

I'll look forward to seeing you again.

Blake

Again? I'm pretty sure I have never met someone called Blake .

Or he was one of the shadow people. _____________________________________
