Ghostly Lies

Part 3, Episode 5: The Truth & Two Lies

Jane POV

Reggie and Luke grabbed Alex and brought him back stage and tied him in a chair as I stared at them. "Something is off about your Cousin..he mentioned something about his eye..." I looked at his eyes and saw a reflection of him in my place.

"Hm. That's strange," they asked me what I meant and told them to do what I did. "I just see..wait what..I can't see my own reflection, I only see him."

I nodded, "There are two spirits in his body..one that is his and the other I have no clue who..who are you and what do you want with my cousin.." Alex had laughed,

"As if you wanted to know.." I pulled the guys aside, "Maybe the game of a truth and two lies will give us answers..but it has to be something Alex knows. If two answers come out, listen for different sounds and tone in his voice."

The boys nodded as Luke went first. "If you are Alex, is true that I did a song about you, I was the first to know about you being gay, and you have anxiety.." Alex smirked, "one and three are the truth.." the deep voice of him spoke, then all of a sudden another voice spoke, "two is the lie.." it sounded like him.

"Alex. Please..speak before..", "Before what unicorn..", "Don't you dare call my cousin that Covington.." my eyes widen, I haven't heard that name in years, "Covington? Wasn't he a famous Magician who died a horrible death when performing one of his magic tricks."

Luke nodded along with me, "and his spirit searches revenge on those who attended his final show." Luke ran out of the dressing room and I followed him as I saw him grab the microphone. "Sorry folks tonight performance from Alexander Davidson is can-"

Before he finished I heard screaming from Reggie as Alex ran past me. How'd he get out of the rope that quickly, he grabbed the microphone and started to sing. My eyes widened, it was his tone of voice but something was different and weird going on.

Luke came to me, "What is going on.." he whispered as Alex continued to sing. But the lyrics weren't lyrics but a message of an S.O.S.

Alex POV

"If you are Alex, is true that I did a song about you, I was the first to know about you being gay, and you have anxiety.." Caleb had me smirking, "one and three are the truth.." that is true but they were looking to see if Caleb knew the lie. "two is the lie.." I said without smirking.

"Alex. Please..speak before..", "Before what unicorn..", "Don't you dare call my cousin that Covington.." i see Jane's eyes widen, "Covington? Wasn't he a famous Magician who died a horrible death when performing one of his magic tricks."

Luke nodded at Reggie's comment along with Jane, "and his spirit searches revenge on those who attended his final show." Luke ran out of the dressing room and Jane followed him as I saw Reggie.

"Bro, you got to help me, I got to send a message to my cuz and Luke..", "Shut up nimrod!" Reggie stared at me, "If your Alex, what did my parents give me for my 15th birthday.."

I looked at him as Caleb spotted something random as I answered, "Your bass guitar.." he smiled slightly and started to help untie me but then my leg spazzed and kicked him as he screamed I ran out.

"Sorry Reggie.." I whispered, "Sorry folks tonight performance from Alexander Davidson is can-" I ran past Jane as I took the microphone. I breathed out and started to sing.

My True Family

I get on with the life of a drummer,
Though I am anxious.
The drumming soothes my anxiety,
But when I'm with my band
It's like singing all week.
They like to contemplate the city and their dreams.
But when they start to daydream,
My mind turns straight to my family.

Who is my family?
Who is my family?

I am the guy who uses words like
'I am proud to be me,'
And sometimes 'super.'

They like to contemplate the city and their dreams.
But when they start to daydream,
My mind turns straight to my family.

Who is my family?
Who is my family?

I just know for sure
when I hang out with Luke and Reggie,
They are like my brothers,
so it turns out they are my family
along with my cousin and uncle.

But I need to say getting possessed by Caleb,
Had me thinking, I truly miss
being accepted as me,
But they just think that I am a part of their family,
And I am happy once again.

People applauded as I groaned as it felt like Caleb was leaving my body. I fell on the ground as I hit my head and heard Luke and Reggie screaming at me.
