Elysha Pov
*13th October 2016*
I screamed as loud as my voice could.The girls took my pencil box and play catch while i tried to catch it.
Syazani:Jiha,tangkap!(Jiha,catch!)
Najiha Hezry:Bagi aku wei!(Give it to me!)
Elysha:Korang,berhenti!BAGI BALIK!(Guys,stop,GIVE IT BACK!)
The game stopped when the teacher enters the class.While the teacher is still teaching,i looked at them with wet eyes due to tears.At home,while mom is still at work,i cried terribly,seeing my reflection in the water.Tears,dripping from my eyes as i looked at my textbook.
Story
At her bedroom,Elysha cried herself to sleep.The next day,she didn't get up to go to school.She then looked at the mirror to see her lips and eyes that were bruised.Along with her wounded hands,she felt the blood trickling from her wounded lips.Her arms were full of wounds and scars.Her heart,broken into pieces,burnt to ash due to her patience that she held for so long,and blewn away by the breeze of sorrow.
Elysha Pov,three years later...
I became a successful freelance photographer.But deep inside,my broken heart isn't fully healed yet.Due to my dark past,i cried when i saw people being happy with their friends.One day,i passed by a building and i heard people singing in there.
When i opened the door,i saw a group of men.Some are banging the drums,some are strumming their guitars,some are singing and so forth.I quietly stepped inside so i wouldn't get caught.When it was break time,i quietly took a photo of all the men from different angles but suddenly,a man with long blonde hair and and a man who is wearing a beanie saw me,hiding behind the boxes.
Dave:Hey,what are you doing there cutie?
Elysha:Just taking photos.
Lars:Come out,we wanna see you.
I walked out and the other men was amused to see me.
Scott:Hello there little one,you're so pretty!
Tom:What's your name?
Dirk:Oh my godness,you're so cute!
I blushed seeing them saying nice things about me.
Story
Elysha then knew she was greeted by the Big 4 of the metal genre.They are Metallica,Megadeth,Slayer and Anthrax.They were squealing because of Elysha's cuteness and beauty.Then,after introducing themselves to eachother,they then told what did they had as a natural talent.
Elysha Pov
One of the members of Anthrax,which is Frank Bello,asked me this:
Frank:Do you have any talents,besides taking photos?
Elysha:I can sing really well.
The members of the Big 4 then nodded their head in amusement.Then David Ellefson,a member of Megadeth,said:
David:Sing for us,please?
Elysha:Okay.
Then i sing a little lyric of Reflection by Lea Salonga and Lee Suhyun:
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free
To fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
nan ije arasseo ttodareun nae moseup

After singing,the Big 4 clapped and cheered.James,Kiko,Tom and Scott are the ones who cheered so loud like a father and uncles to their daughter and niece at the same time.
Rob:Your voice is wonderful!
Dave:My hats are off to you cutie.
Kirk:You had a beautiful voice.How can you sing like that?
Elysha:It's my natural talent.
James:Damn,i wish my daughter has a nice voice like you.
Tom:You are a complete package!Cute face,awesome talent of photography and now a sirenic voice!
Scott:Are you an angel or what?
Elysha:No,i'm just a human.
The Big 4 then continued rehearsing after that.That night,they each perform their songs and they kept the best one for last.
Tom Araya Pov
During Megadeth's performance,we all cheered for them and at the same time,keeping Elysha company.But,what really made me concerned is that Elysha is not smiling.Usually,she always smiles like she used to.So me and Kerry asked her:
Tom:Elly?
Elysha:Yes?
Tom:What's wrong,little one?
Elysha:Nothing.
Kerry:Is there something you wanna talk about?You can talk to me,James,Tom or anyone else in the Big 4.
Elysha:I know,but i'm okay,don't worry about me.
Person:Slayer,your performance is next!
Tom:We have to go,our fans are waiting.
Elysha:Okay.Hwaiting!
Her cute little fist while saying good luck to us was just adorable but her eyes said something else.
During all the Big 4 members performance,i looked back to make sure Elysha was there.But,when i looked again,she was...gone.
Dave Mustaine Pov
After our performance,we then realised that Elysha went missing out of nowhere.
Dirk:Have you found her in the waiting room?
Rob:No,she's not in there.
James then cursed himself under his breath.Lars then said:
Lars:Let's split up,maybe she could be anywhere.
Dave:Okay,let's go!
Then we split up to find her.
Kirk:Elysha!Where are you?!
Tom:Where are you little one?!
Scott:Come out wherever you are.Don't make us feel worried.
We kept searching for her around the building.We then met at our end point and that is the way to the stage.
Rob:Did you guys found her?
Kiko:No,she's not in the bathroom nor the training room.
Dave:But,while me and James are looking for her,we heard someone crying.
James:Yeah,and the cries are echoing through the building.The cries must belonged to her.
Then,as we were walking to the training room,the cries gets louder.It came from the massage room!
When James opened the door,there,sitting in the corner,is Elysha,huddling herself.
We walked in and Tom called her name softly.When she looked up,her face was smeared with tears and her eyes were red.Her face was numb from all the crying.Then she looked to the corner again.Then,we all finally knew,something was wrong.James tried to get close to her but she looked away.When Kirk and i get close to her,she looked at us with her teary hazel orbs.
Kirk Hammett Pov
Back at the hotel(by the way,we all shared a room),the teary eyed Elysha is still looking down.When Dave L. and Kerry tried to convince her to tell us what's wrong,she walked outside.David and i looked at each other,with confusion and sympathy.Then we talked about our concert and everything.When Elysha was offered a drink(she didn't drink beer,so we offered a strawberry milk instead),she looked at her hand.Then Gary saw a big scar on her hand.He nudged my shoulder and told me:
Gary:Bro,she had a big scar on her hand.
Kirk:Oh my,you're right.
Then Elysha looked at us.
Elysha:Yes?
Gary:Oh,nothing,your hand is beautiful.
Elysha:Thanks Gary.
She smiled a little and continued looking outside.The full moon shines its light,making the night more brighter.
Elysha Pov
I looked outside,staring at the shining moon.Remembering the times i nearly suicide because of the bullying and my friends making me felt left out i experienced,i shed my tears a little but i try to silent my cries and tried my best to smile looking at the boys.They may have seen a scar on my hand but they never seen the scars in my heart.Scarred by my past,i had major depression for years.But i tried to keep it hidden behind my smile.
While they are sleeping,i wrote in my diary what i witnessed today.Reaching for my bottle of mineral water,i drank half of it and looked at the sleeping Big 4.I walked to the sleeping Kirk,and kissed his cheek before going back to my bed.My scarred heart was still in the process of healing but the pain is still felt in there.That morning,me and the Big 4 were at the hall,eating our breakfast.
Scott Ian Pov
While enjoying our breakfast,we noticed that Elysha ate too little than yesterday before our concert.She ate a bowl of cereal and drank a cold glass of milk tea.Back at our room,we hang out with her a little.She was reading her books that she bought along.James,being the guy he is,drank a glass of water while looking at his phone.Kirk was busy fixing his guitar and so forth.Then we decided to play charades with her.
Scott:Guys,let's play charades,is it okay?
They all agreed and we played charades together.We all had so much fun guessing some puzzles and questions.Elysha was the funniest one,she wanted to say "pink" but she said "lick".We all laughed together at her cute mistake.
At night,we're busy enjoying ourselves when Dave screamed from the wardrobe:
Dave:Guys,i found something!
Dave Mustaine Pov
I held a book that it's cover has flowers on it.It was her diary.We all looked inside and read all the contents.Her notes finally made us knew the reason she was crying and went missing after our concert.Especially this one:
Elysha's Diary
Part 6 of 8,13th October 2016
I tried to defend myself but my body was too weak,resulting an injury in my right eye.Back home,i covered my right eye with an ice pack to stop the bruise from getting worse.At night,in my bedroom,i cried myself to sleep.
And we read this one too that dates to one year later:
Part 3 of 10,17th March 2017
The bullies are causing trouble again,this time,they have over the fourth wall by spilling my food.I kicked the shit out of her,causing her to trip and fell,spraining her ankle.I continued to eat eventhough my food spilled a little.
Part 9 of 10,17th March 2017
I was busy drawing,when suddenly one of the bullies took my drawing book and said my drawing was ugly like me.Then she was about to stomp on my book when i took the chance to protect it by covering it with my body,making her stomp my back instead of my book.I endured the pain but it goes away a little while later.
Then,what made our heart shattered to pieces is this one,it dates back to the anniversary of Cliff's death:
Part 5 of 9,27th September 2017
Today was the anniversary of Cliff Burton's death.Due to mourning,i kept myself quiet for a while.But my fake friends who always take advantage of me that became my bullies bullied me terribly.They had gone too far by throwing my history textbook into the drain.I took my wet textbook,my stuff and go to somewhere peaceful.
Then we read this note which is the cause of her always hiding herself away:
Part 4 of 7,2nd October 2017
Today,i hid in a surau at my school(because i'm a Muslim,duhh)because i knew that is the most safest place to hide.I brought along my food i cooked from home and my drink which i also made at home.During recess,i ate happily without thinking of anything else.I felt safe and happy.After eating,i decided to take a little nap,waiting for home time.During home time,i looked out for the safest way to get out.And that is the entrance gate.
Then,we finally knew what happened to her.
She was bullied and left alone.
Then we saw a few words that hit deep into our minds:
I FUCKING HATE YOU!
Then she wrote the name of the people whom she hates so much under the words:
Nafisa Natasha
Najiha Hezry
Fateha
Fazreena
Ezah Manaf
Ayu Arlina
Atikah Ayuni
And the nerdy bitch whom i forgot what her name was.
Looking at the names,the people who caused her life a living hell are women, same age as her.
What did they want from her actually,is i don't know but if i met those girls,i could've helped Elysha apply a restraining order.
Elysha then came to us,asking:
Elysha:Why did you guys looked into my diary?
David:We're sorry,but Dave found your diary near your bag and we've read what's inside.
Dave:We don't know that you actually got bullied.You could've told us.We're here for you.
Elysha then walked to us slowly,and said in a saddening tone:
Elysha:I did have been bullied since i was in highschool.Not just that,i have been left alone by my friends.I wanted to have recess with them but they said i'm a busy body.This diary is the only thing i had to keep my feelings in,hoping someone would read it and finally knew what's happening inside my heart.
Elysha Pov
I sat on the floor in between Scott and Tom,after saying the things i really wanted to let out.My tears streaked down my cheeks,making my hazel orbs glassy.Kirk who was sitting on the bed softly called my name:
Kirk:Elysha?
Elysha:Yes?
He took out his hand to me and i reached out.He then hugged me while sitting on the bed.Dave also hugged me and the others joined in.I then smiled as my tears flow down my cheeks.
Elysha:Will you guys...
Rob then said this,
Rob:Yes Elly,we will be your friends.
I then said:
Elysha:Thank you,thank you!
I hugged back as i cried happily as the Big 4 of metal hugged me as their own way to say:
We will be your friends.
From that day,me and the Big 4 became the group of friends that stayed together.
Story
At a beach,the sun shines brightly as Elysha and her new friends basked themselves in the waters,swimming and having fun.That day,Elysha became the happiest woman in her life not because she had a good life or what,but she has what other people had and that is,friends for life.Her heart has now completely healed and she thanks God for granting her wish and prayed that her friendship will last forever.
Epilogue...
A year later,Elysha and Kirk finally had a happily married life and they became parents.They had a daughter and named her,Renesmee Lee Hammett.Together,they always frequently bring Renesmee wherever they go.When Renesmee turned 6,she get a lot of presents like two pairs of Metallica shirts from her dad,a Megadeth shirt from Dave,a Slayer shirt from Tom and a Anthrax shirt from Scott.Also,she got a pink tutu from her mom,a vampire cape from her dad,a pink guitar from James and a red drum set and white unicorn from Lars.Together,they became awesome friends and a happy family of Renesmee.As for Renesmee herself,she was lucky to have loving mother,a caring father,and a group of kind hearted uncles and aunts.
She loved her crazy family like they loved her too.
