When I wake up, it’s dark, and I look at my clock. 2:32 AM. Great. I get up, then go get something to drink from the kitchen, but I soon realize, I’m not alone. I feel a shiver of fear run up my spine, and slowly turn to see a masked man in the kitchen with me.
He grabs me, and points the gun in my face. He then says, “Make a sound, and I’ll kill ya, and bury ya in a shallow grave. Got it, bitch?”
I quickly nod, to show I understand, then he brings out duct tape, and tapes me to the kitchen chair. He tapes my mouth shut, and then continues to tape my body to the chair, so I can’t move at all. I sob quietly, and pray I make it out of this alive.
A few moments later the man stops taping me to the chair, and his accomplice says in a hushed tone, “We got the goods, now let’s go! Leave the bitch. She didn’t see anything, right?”
“Nah. Nothing,” the masked man tells him, then leaves out the front door.
What the hell happened? Don’t Dahvie and Jayy have an emergency system in this house? I could have sworn I’d seen a key pad on the wall, by the door! Why didn’t some sort of alarm go off, then? Did they forget to set it? Or did those guys somehow disable it? What memo did I miss?!
I continue to sob, as I sit there until the sun begins to come up. After a couple hours longer, I hear Jayy get up, and my senses come back to me. I start to scream through the tape, and I hear Jayy sleepily ask from the top of the stairs, “What the fuck?”
“Ayyy! ‘m in ‘ear!” I continue to scream through the duct tape, “Ell ee!”
“Katie! What the fuck! Dahvie! Get down here!” Jayy shouts when he sees me.
“Ell ee! Eese!” I sob.
“Alright, Katie. This might hurt a bit,” Jayy says, then rips the tape from my mouth, and I whimper at the sting from it. He then makes me look at him, and asked, “Katie, what happened? Are you okay?”
“Why me? Why is it always me?” I sob harder.
“What the hell is going on here?!” Dahvie shouts, as he descends the stairs.
Jayy shakes his head at Dahvie and says, “I wish I knew.”
“Please untie me,” I beg, through my sobs.
“Of course. Dahvie. Scissors,” Jayy says in a panic-y tone.
“On it!” Dahvie shouts, and disappears into their home studio. He emerges a moment later, and cuts the tape off me. Together they get it all off my body, then Dahvie says, “Go take a shower, while we call the police.”
I nod solemnly, and slowly head up stairs to my bedroom. When I’m about to enter my room though, I look over at Dahvie’s door, and decide to head in to get a hoodie. I growl under my breath when I see the man has none, so I just walk out and head into my room.
Once in my room, and get into the shower, and when I get out, I dry off, then dress in a pair of my pajama pants, my R.I.P Mitch Lucker shirt, since we couldn’t find that in an XS, it’s big on me. Same with my Gir hoodie, and then I slip on my fluffy Misfit’s slippers.
When I finished getting dressed, I grab a pair of gauges, a necklace, a set of headphones, and my cell phone, then head down stairs. When I get to the bottom, all I want to do is shoot back up the stairs, then a police officer gently grabs my arm, and leads me to the kitchen.
I slowly take my headphones off, then the officer asked for my statement. I don’t want to relive that nightmare, but I know I have to. I look over to Jayy and he nods, then comes over and sits next to me. He holds my hand, and the officer arches an eyebrow.
“My sister,” Jayy says, and the officer nods, then asked again for my statement.
I tell him everything that happened, while he writes key points, and then thanks me, and heads out. Jayy pulls me up from the chair, and leads me back up stairs. He takes me to my bedroom, and rummages through my closet, then pulls out an outfit. He tosses it on the bed, and says, “Get changed. We’re going to meet the guys for breakfast at Ihop,” then walks out of the room.
I look at the outfit, then shrug, and throw the pants on, grab the Pikachu hoodie, but leave on my R.I.P. Mitch Lucker t-shirt on. When I’m done with the pants I grab a pair of socks and my Converse, then head back out to meet up with Jayy and Dahvie.
When I get down there, the police are just finishing up, and Dahvie and Jayy pull me out the door, to the car. Jayy sits with me in the back, while Dahvie drives out to Ihop. I feel like shit. What the hell happened anyway? Did I walk in on a robbery?
When we arrive at Ihop, all the guys of Asking and Black Veil are waiting on us, and when we get up to them, Ashley’s the first to race over to me, and hug me tight.
“Holy shit,” he whispers into my hair, when he pulls away he pats me a bit, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“They didn’t hurt me, if that’s what you’re asking. They just scared me half to death, and taped me to a chair,” I tell him.
Andy’s next, as he pushes past Ashley, and hugs me tightly as well. He doesn’t say anything, just holds me in his arms for a moment, and then releases me to Juliet. Hmm . . . I didn’t even know she was here until now. This continues and then we head in.
I order a glass of water and pancakes, but can’t seem to force myself to eat. Is this what shock feels like?
“. . . should eat,” I hear from Jayy, and then I look up at him.
“Sorry. What?” I ask.
“You really should eat, Katie,” he repeats.
I shrug, and look back to my pancakes. I run my fork across the top pancake, gently making lines that soon close up, in the syrup, and hear someone sigh.
“She’s not going to eat, is she?” I hear Jinxx ask.
“I am right here, you know,” I murmur to him.
“I know, but you don’t seem to really be responding to anything, anyone says,” he tells me.
I shrug again, knowing it’s true, then continue with my motions from before. Cut. Heal. Cut. Heal. Listen to someone for a moment. Heal. Cut. Heal.
I don’t eat any of my pancakes, and hardly even touch my water, by the time everyone else is finished. I finally just shove the plate away from me, and then get up, and head out to the car. I wait outside, not really thinking, seeing, or feeling, until everyone else joins me.
“. . . think you’re right,” Dahvie says in response to something someone said.
“Who’s right about what?” I ask.
“Oh, just that we need to get you away from home for a bit, and since it’s so close to tour, we should just add a few and start a little sooner than planned,” Dahvie tells me.
I nod, and then get into the backseat. I wait in silence while Jayy and Dahvie say goodbye to the guys and Juliet, then they get in, and Dahvie sits in the back with me this time. I lean my head on his shoulder, and try to relax a bit.
When we get home, I head to my bedroom, and Dahvie follows. He tells me to start packing, so I grab my new luggage set, and throw most of my clothes in the two green suit cases. I grab my backpack, and load it up with my laptop, chargers, and then place my makeup bag, a few hair dyes I’m thinking about trying out, my travel jewelry box, and a small bag of hair accessories. I then grab my hair dryer, straight iron, and my brush and comb and place them in the smaller zipper of the bag.
When I’m done, I head into the hallway with my bags, and Jayy smiles down at me. He then asked, “Ready to see your new temporary home?”
I shrug indifferently, then head down with all my bags. Jayy then takes the larger of the two, and I only just notice, the police have left. I follow Jayy to the car, where he puts all out bags in the back area of the SUV, and tells me to get in, while he locks the door.
I nod, and hop in the back. This time Jayy and Dahvie both sit up front, and then we head out. We drive for some time before pulling into a large parking lot, and parking next to a huge bus. Dahvie tells me counting them and me, they’ll be about 15 people living on that bus, and I nod.
We get out, and gather our stuff out of the back, then head on board. Wow, it’s even bigger than I originally thought. Then again, I guess it kind of has to be with 15 people living in one bus. Dahvie tells me to go pick my bunk, so I head to the way back, and pick the top bunk.
“Good choice,” he says, taking the one below mine, and Jayy takes the top bunk to the left of mine. We toss our bags in them, and then Jayy and Dahvie head back out to the front. I follow them, like the lost little puppy I am, and then Dahvie says, “Now, there are a few rules you have to follow for everything to run smoothly.”
“One. Respect is key,” Jayy tells me.
“Two. You have a problem with someone on the bus, come to one of us, and we’ll help fix it,” Dahvie adds.
“Three. Have fun,” they say together.
“And that’s it?” I ask.
“Yeah, pretty much,” Jayy says with a small shrug.
“Alright,” I say, nodding.
“And if you need any alone time, just let one of us know, and we’ll do our best to make it happen,” Dahvie tells me, then hugs me tight, and passes me to Jayy, who does the same, and tells me to go get some sleep.
I nod, and head back to my bunk. I then wonder where to put my stuff, so I head back out, and ask Jayy. He heads back, and says, “Normally we’ll just throw our shit out onto the floor when it’s time for bed, but for now, you can place your stuff in my bunk.” I nod, and he grabs my suit cases, and sets them in his bunk for me, then says, “Now, get some sleep. You’ll need it. You can unpack what you need later, and put it in here,” he pats a drawer I didn’t see before, under my bunk, and above Dahvie’s.
I nod again, then climb into my bunk, and pull my Hello Kitty blanket over top of me. Soon I pass out, and when I wake up, there’s a bottle of Fiji water next to me with a note attached.
It reads, “Katie, when you wake up, come out to the front lounge. We want you to meet everyone. ~Jayy.”
I smile, then take a quick drink of the water, and head out to the front lounge, which I have to say, is packed!
