Ethery's P.O.V

"Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock..." I jumped up excitedly off of the couch, as I woke up to the ticking of the clock. I quickly ran to the closet and pulled out a t-shirt and some jeans. I slipped them on and ran down the hall, tripping on my way, and grab some tennis shoes and random socks from the laundry area.I ran a bit till I reached my front door and picked up my beanie, placing it on my head, and I flung my guitar strap around me.

I flung open the door and quickly closed it behind me as I ran down the sidewalk to the park. Once arriving at the park I quickly sat under the same shady tree. I pull my guitar out from behind me and felt the strings until I thought of a song. I heard this song from Cassy, its called Euphemia. I started to strum, setting up the guitar until it was tuned correctly and then began to play the song while singing to it.

Euphemia (By Area 11)

"As I looked into the burning sky,

A tear forming in my eye

Memories of fallen dreams

And all those that have died.

Demons are possessing me.

Robbed of my eternity.

A cloud of ash that pierced the night;

I feel my hate take flight.

I'm choking on my own words and

I'm scared of backing down

because the hope within us all

Is up in flames.

Twisted by my warring conscience,

The situation's pushing on wards.

Genocide

Forever taints your name.

This can't be, was this me?

I think I've lost control.

I caused this, I forced this,

Can I continue on?

I have caused this, I have forced this,

I caused this, I forced this, I caused this.

Mou oshimai da.

Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.

Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,

And then take this secret with you,

And then take this secret with you.

I became your puppet master,

As you stared into my eyes,

Then stood and watched in horror

As you ordered them to die.

This could fuel the revolution

This could be my last solution,

And all good victories

Come with a price.

I think I've lost control.

This can't be, was this me?

I caused this, I forced this,

Can I continue on?

I have caused this, I have forced this.

I caused this, I forced this.

Mou oshimai da.

Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.

Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,

And then take this secret with you,

And then take this secret with you.

Mou oshimai da.

Betrayed by trust, forever left to scream.

Oh hold me closely and die in my arms,

And then take this secret with you,

then take this secret with you.

Take my secret with you.

Take my secret with you.

Take my secret with you.

Just take my secret with you."

I hear clapping after I finish, so I look up smiling at the noise. Suddenly a voice comes out of nowhere,"Nice guitar, and your voice is amazing." I smile gratefully and say,"Thank you... Uh..." He quickly but in,"My name is Tom, But call me Sparkles*." I answered with,"Okay To--Sparkles*. My name is Ethery." He suddenly asks,"So uhh, Ethery, are you a fan?" I answered," umm... Oh! You mean the uhh.. Band Area 11, that wrote the song.. No a friend showed me the song so I just...well...yeah.' He laughed and started to walk away but suddenly he stopped and asked,"What color are your eyes?" I truly hate this question but I answer,"They are purple. They aren't contacts." He shuffles back toward me before he says,"My uhh... co-worker knows someone with purple eyes." I think for a moment before saying,"Do you work with yorgacast... Something like that?" He laughed at the way I said it and then he said,"Its yogscast, and yes I do work there, you know Chris Trott, right?" I smile and nod yes."Well see you around." He said as he began to walk away.

I smiled to myself at the small encounter with one of Chris's co-workers. I shake my head and think back to songs to play. Hmm... I quickly reach into my pocket and pull out my phone "Kenzie search for Area 11 songs on the Internet" I listen for the searching sound and wait for a answer. " Here is a list of songs: Shi No Barado, Euphemia, Are You Listening, All the-" I cut her off by saying,"Play Are You Listening by Area 11" Immediately the song begins and I start to play it.

After I finish the song I play a few more Area 11 songs before checking the time. Realizing it's late I quickly grab my guitar and raced back home. Unlocking the door and flinging it closed and locking it I sigh from the lack of breath on the way home.

I place my guitar next to the couch and walk to my room, tripping on some boxes! Ugh I need to move those... but meh... I'm too lazy. I once again trip on the boxes but continue down the hall till I reach the bathroom to shower. After the refreshing shower I walk into my room and quickly get undressed and get into my night clothing.

I slip into bed and disappear into my dreams. What I saw was strange. It seems as it was different colors... colors... what are colors.. hmm. Maybe it isn't colors what I see. Farben (German for colors)
