Falling into a SIO Mess

Lights, Show, Action!

Zach's POV

Here we are, the last day of tour in Moscow. Screaming and shouting woke me up and got me out of my small dark bunk. As I turn to the brightly lit living room, I see Dan, Cody and Maxx playing Call of duty on the Xbox. When they should be getting ready for the upcoming show. Slowly I yawned as I was peacefully asleep until they woke me up.

Cody notices me leaning in the brown door frame, without taking his eyes of the television, and quickly said  " Oh hey Zach. Hope we didn't wake you up. I'm just beating Maxx's ass in COD!"  Laughing at Cody's response, I could hear the anger Maxx had in his voice. "Oh my gosh Cody! I'm like 5 points away from you!!" Dan looks over at me "Help me they been screaming at each other for an hour now." Shaking my head and laughing, I said "Nah I'm good thanks" we laughed and watched Cody and Maxx finish their game.

Maxx was cheering seen as he won the call of duty game by one point but he was rubbing it into Cody's face. "Haha I won you lost! Woop! Woop!" Maxx said with joy while Cody didn't really care "Dude it was by one point I will beat you next time." Me and Dan rolled our eyes, Maxx and Cody are huge kids especially when it comes to competitions with games. "Come on hurry up! We are going to miss the show!" I shouted at the two kids behind me. Cody and Maxx looked behind them and then pointed a finger to their chests suggesting "me?". Dan nods at them. Running towards us, they quickly said "ops"

After 10 minutes of walking to the show, with Maxx still telling Cody about his win, we got to the backstage area in the show bar. I went straight to the bathroom seen as the wind was strong and messed up my dark brown hair. Quickly pushing it to the side, I walked back behind the stage. Dan was on his phone texting people while Maxx was still annoying Cody. Trying to hold back a laugh, I focused on my phone and made it look like I was laughing at a Instagram video when I was really laughing at Maxx and Cody.

Off we went, towards the stage and into a huge crowd. My black guitar strap swang around my neck as I went to grab the base of the guitar. Maxx, Dan and Cody was already by their equipment so Maxx counted us in to play Hourglass. Peacefully Cody was singing while the fans turnt on their phone lights, but as we finished the song a crash sound came from behind us. We thought nothing of it seen as it could be the technology people working on the lights.

Soon after we finished we ran off the stage hoping the crowd would shout for us back..But they didn't. We all looked at each other and gave blank faces. The fans always cheers us back. So we went back up to investigate, as we slowly walked up the building shook. Grabbing hold of the wall near to us we waiting until it stopped. Soon after it stop we rushed out to the stage to see if any of the fans was injured. But there was nothing except pitch black darkness. The fans couldn't have left, seen as the doors were locked for safety reasons.

We all heard a scream close to us. Instead of running we looked at each other with terrified looks on our faces. We should've ran, but we didn't. Instead a black figure walked to us and mumbles "Goodnight boys" while it thrown something onto the floor allowing some sort of gas to fill our lungs. And in a flash myself, Dan, Maxx and Cody ware knocked out cold.
