        The signing was done three hours later. Jinxx's hands were so numb he could barely pick up his violin. His playing was spectacular and beautiful, and the accompaniment was perfect. 

        "Come on, Serena," I said, taking her hand, "lets get into some real clothes."

        Half an hour later, we were waiting by the buss, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Serena was in my arms, her skinny arms wrapped around my neck. She was a light little Halfik. But we needed to work on her Dark Control - once in a while, her jaguar ears would pop out. And her talking. She needed to talk more.

        My own Dark was begging to envelope me, to comfort me and strengthen me. Anything. But not here. Not now. Finally, after waiting for what seemed an eternity, my single fan ran around the corner, a huge smile plastered on her face. there was a scratch just under her eye, half hidden by make up. Curioser and curiouser.

        "Hi," He managed, just as the security dashed towards her and wrapped her up in his gorilla arms, growling threats and promising a trip in the security car. "Wait!" Jake said, just as  i ran forwards, leaving Serena behind, and lifted the girl free from the mans arms as if she were light as a feather. She was to me. "I invited her!" I hissed, snapping at the guard in my fierce protectiveness. Behind me, the thing that saved me from going Dark on the man, was Serenas sickly coughing.

        Calmed, well, calming, I turned from the guard and led the fan towards the Black Veil Brides buss. "I'm Kilee, as you know. Whats your name?"

        "Mia."

        "Well, Mia, meet my brothers and sister; Andy, Jake, CC, Jinxx, and Ashley. Stay away from Ashley. And my babygirl sister, Serena." I hoisted the sick little halfik into my arms, and held her close. We all climbed onto the rather messy buss, and Jake went up front to tell the driver Mias address, which she, seemingly frightfully, gave us.

        "Serena? Do help your sister write her music? And you play guitar?" Mia asked her, head tilting, brown hair tumbling to her waist.  Serena nodded. "I help a tiny bit, and i only play a few chords. Daddy tought me." She said, unwrapping a sucker and placing the candy in her mouth.

        "Ashley, can you hand me that plate of pizza?" I asked, and he complaied, handing it over. I then in turn handed it to Mia. Soon, a full on pizza party was up.

        An hour and a half passed, and the band started to really like Mia, except Jake. She was too quiet, to much like him.  She was only fourteen and had a regrettable past, with a verbally abusing mother and a brother who hated her like no ones business. Calmly taking this all in along with her apparent cheerfulness, we went through six pizzas and a half, along with several liters of soda. And a gallon of vodka.

        Finally, we pulled up to Mias home, parking alongside the curb. All seven of us walked her to the door, where a tall teen answered, smoking a cigarette. Which promptly fell to the floor as he saw who was at the door. Classic pretty boy loo, blond hair blue eyes, he didn't seem a fan of Black Veil Brides. But i guess he was cause he almost had a freak out moment. He silently held the door open, letting us all in. Eyes lingered on my chest, and two arms wrapped protectively around my shoulders. Jake and Jinxx, of course....

        Mias green eyes were filed with excitement and a certain highness. Joy shadowed over her face with a certain light that made the entire band smile with gladness. The house reeked of cigarettes, vodka and, strangely, hate. "Our father shouldn't be home in an hour, so we can all sit and appreciate the calm. Oh thank god," Mia said as her older brother handed her a cigarette. We all watched her in shock as he took a deep drag. "What? My father got me hooked." She said. We all shrugged and broke out our own guilty pleasures: Most of the boys had cigarettes, and me and Serena and Jinxx all had a sucker.

        Her older brother, Dominique, suddenly jumped. He pulled his phone from his pocket. He checked the text and visibly paled. "Dads here! Mia!"

        We were suddenly ushered upstairs and crammed into a huge closet in her room, filled with band shirts and skinny jeans of all colors, She told us to be quiet and closed the door. The fear on her face said enough to assure us this was all very serious.

        Serena was quietly crying in Jinxxs arms as we heard a scream and the sound of violence, and thats when i saw an eerie glow. All seven of us were Darking, our eyes glowing various shades and colors. Serenas suddenly luminous white eyes locked on the door, and we all tumbled out. Andy spread his wings, and i leaped forwards, landing on four paws.

       Suddenly, the scent of blood filled the air. I looked over to see Serena bleeding, a hand over her chest in shock. A flower of blood bloomed over her shirt, and her eyes rolled back in her heart. Gun smoke fled from the barrel of a gun held in a drunk mans hand.

        In my fury, i launched towards him.

        Landed on his chest.

        Lost all control.

        Ripped open his chest.

        And removed his heart.

        Serena was dead.
