What are you?

Chapter 1: the newest member

Leo rushed into the huge concert building, finally getting the SSAs (secret service agents) off of his back. He rushed through the crowd and stood perfectly still. There were gunshots at him as he disappeared, one hitting the lights- one of the agents needed some major target practice.

The music blared loudly. He looked above the lead guitarist. The lights above were shaking as if they were loose from the bolts that commanded them into the roof for the rest of their days. A bolt toppled and fell in front of her. She kept rocking, not noticing what was going on. There was an inaudible creak that signaled it would fall. The guitarist was dressed in black leather boots with tights and a skirt that was long enough to leave something for the imagination, she wore a cut off shirt and a leather jacket with the buttons undone. Her hands had fishnet gloves and her hair was a deep chestnut brown. Atop her head were two horns, one taller than the other. One of her eyes were blue while the other was red, her teeth were sharp but smiling.

The lights came undone from the roof, falling hastily at the unexpecting guitar player. Leo rushed and jumped up, shoving her out of the way as it fell. Leo watched her fall to the ground and the security began rushing to him. The lights fell, sending Leo through the wooden stage. He sigh and crawled to the back where there was a small door, he stayed there hoping no one would look for him. He sigh and laid there.

The music continued for another 4 hours and Leo was underneath the stage for all of it. The loud bass, the death metal screaming, all of it. He looked around to see if there was any way he could get out once everyone left.

The music stopped and a soft voice spoke into the microphone.

"T-thanks everyone! I hope you all had fun! Check out the merch at the table and I'll also be signing autographs!" The guitarists voice seeped through the crowd like water through a paper towel.

Leo crawled towards the light, hoping to feel the cool breeze hit his face.

-2 hours later-

Leo heard footsteps on top of where he was. The footsteps continued down the stairs and the curtain looking drape was lifted to reveal him. The guitarist looked at him with loving eyes.

"Hey, you don't have to hide. Thank you for saving me.." she said softly.

Leo got out from under the stage and dust himself off.

"Don't think anything of it. It's my fault in the first place. I had some goons chasing after me and one of them had shit aim and it hit the light," he began with a monotone voice.

"You aren't hurt are you?" Leo asked.

"Oh, no I'm ok. I landed funny but I'll be ok. Although I have to ask. Are you a cosplayer? Cause your eyes are really cool!" She asked smiling.

"I can't talk about it because I'm already on the run. But I guess you could say I'm something of a cosplayer. " Leo began.

"Wait, you have a power?! What is it?" She asked.

"I don't think I caught your name-" Leo began.

"It's Destiny. But my friends call me D. But please. I want to know, cause I have powers too! My whole band just so happens to be on the run!" She said softly but content with excitement.

"Well, I was blessed with pyrokenesis, but I have an AI implant thanks to my genius late father..What are your powers?" Leo asked.

"Well, I'm a bit of a weird story. So you see long story short, my dad- a dragon. Got it on with my mom, who's a vampire. So they had a baby- me, and so I'm a dragon and a vampire it's really weird." She began.

"Wow.. that's quite the story.." Leo began.

D's band mates approached the two, mostly looking pissed and curious.

"You! What did you do to the lights?" A tall individual with black hair snarled, picking him up but the collar of his shirt.

"Please, I don't want to hurt anyone! I'm on the run and the SSA's have shit aim!" Leo griped.

"Ace! Put him down!" D said shoving Ace sharply.

"He was the reason you were in danger!" He snarked, getting so close in her face that his breath messed with her hair.

"He didn't have to save me! He could have let it crush me! Get out of my face!" D said spitting in her non relative older brother's face.

"You two cut it out. He obviously is just like us. Look at the eyes..pyrokenesis, right?" A male with long green and black hair asked.

"Uh, yeah. How did you-" Leo began.

"I have future vision, the name is Daniel. The angry one who tried to kill you is Angelo, but he goes by Ace.. umm, and that one over there, his name is Adam. We all are on the run too. But the shows help us with currency. And I know what you're thinking, well actually, Angelo does. But, you don't have to join us.. however, I foresee your journey ending if you don't. They will catch you at the bridge at exactly 4:30 am and they will shoot you without hesitation or faulty aim.." Daniel spat out.

"I don't want to die just yet.. but I'd hate to impose. You guys sounded really good too! How much were tickets? I mean I did kinda wreck the show and all.." Leo said reaching for his wallet.

"Tickets ranged from five bucks to twenty five bucks.." Ace snarled.

Leo counted the change and handed it to Jack.

"Thank you all.. I'll do my best to help out and such." Leo began.

"Oh, guys he has already changed his fate! This is amazing it's like a movie of your life Leo!" Daniel said with a smirk. The smirk faded into a horrifying gaze.

"We have to move out now! They are right outside. Adam, open the rift. " Daniel said with an anxious tone.

"Right!" Adam said tearing the air with his finger. He ripped it open and rushed everyone through. Adam then jumped in and the rift closed behind them.
