(Angel’s POV)
Andy and others went to do whatever it was they had to do for the concert. While they were busy, the two girls were talking to each other. It sounded like they were fan-girling over something. I went over to then and they stopped talking.
“Hi, I’m Bethanne.” I told them.
“Hi there, I’m Hayden and this, here, is Josefine.” the girl with the silver spiky hair said. “ I prefer to be called ‘Den’ and Josefine prefers ‘Jose.’” she added.
I smiled. “Its nice to meet you.” I then noticed their necklaces. The pendants were pink. Were they together or with one of the band members? “You girls are mystics?” I whispered as I noticed a security guard close by.
They nodded. “I’m with Ashley.” Josefine said. “She’s with CC.” she added as she pointed over to Hayden.
“I’m too-though I’m with Jinxx.”

(Reign’s POV)
If Jinxx thinks that he is going to find his girl. He’s wrong. Come to think of it, I’m not even sure if this Bethanne is his…what if one his band members is his true love? I smiled. I would have blast if one them is his. There are endless list of things I could to them...I supposed it’ll be the same for the girl…it doesn’t hurt to try though.
I sat in my car as the doors to the venue open. The line started to move as I got out and made my way over. I got through ease; of course I had gotten my ticket to come here. I wouldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. The one time I can actually get to see Jinxx suffer more than our last meeting.
I found their tent easily enough. There were three girls, the band was no where to be seen. They were probably getting ready for their lousy performance. This would be a great time to take her, but I want him to see her in the crowd first. So I’ll make my move when he turns away from the crowd towards the end of the performance.

(Meadow’s POV)
I took Midnight and Bethanne back over to the stage to get our seats. After some moments, the guys came on stage and that was when we realized that it was crowded and their fans were cheering. Ever since arriving to the venue, I had lost track of time. Even though we barely done anything, except hanging out with the band. I looked up and spotted my hottie of a future husband on his drums. The biggest smile spread across my face. Midnight had the same look on her face when she saw Ashley. Bethanne was the same when she spotted Jinxx. The three of us were lost in our own little worlds while our guys played.

(Reign’s POV)
I heard music going on several hours later after everyone was inside the event rally. Fans to where their band or artist were going to preform. It had long since died down, but fans were still running to and fro as they try to catch all their bands or artists performing.
I heard a horrible voice sing as I walk around. It sounded like Jinxx’s front man. Of course, it sounded hideous…it wasn’t a mystic singing. I made my way over to their stage. My smile itching to show itself. I lost track of how many different songs that horrible singer sang. Though now, I hear Jinxx on his violin. But when I got there he wasn’t on stage…what a disappointment…it was a recording. I would rather have him playing his violin than a recording, I’m sure the fans feel the same way. Their fans were still there, waiting with anticipation for the band to come back on stage and continue.

(Angel’s POV)
“I’ll be right back.” I told Hayden, when they played a recording of Jinxx playing ‘Overture’. “I’m going to the bathroom.” I added.
“Hurry back, if you can.” She told me.
I nodded as I started to leave the stage area and found the bathroom easily enough. I went in and did what I needed to do. As I came out I could hear Andy talking to the crowd as the others were probably tuning their instruments for the next song. Just as I was returning to the stage area, I felt a hand go around my waist and the another covering my mouth at the same time.
“Are you going to make this easy for me or not?” a masculine voice asked from behind.
I didn’t answer. He must’ve smiled.
“Good, now come with me.” he said in a whisper.
Like I had a choice to follow him or not.

(Jinxx’s POV)
As we came back on stage, I noticed that Angel was gone. I tensed up.
“Relax, man, she probably went to the restroom.” Ashley told me when he saw my reaction.
I nodded as we tuned our instruments, while Andy hyped up the crowd. All through the second half of our performance, I kept looking at Angel’s empty spot. A horrible feeling started to form in my gut. I forced myself to focus on my playing, for the sake of the fans. When we left the stage again, before ‘In the End’. I was on a verge of a panic attack.
“Dude, chill.” Andy told me.
I stopped pacing, which I don’t even remember starting.
“Is everything all right?” Ashley asked.
“It’s Angel.” I answered. “ I haven’t seen her at all this half of our performance.” I said in a rush. “What if he got to her, Ash?” I added.
“Who?” I vaguely heard Andy ask.
“If he did, then where do you think he took her?” Ashley asked me.
“Who?” Andy asked again
“I don’t know…this is a big venue.” I answered Ashley, after a small pause to think.
“Hey! Can someone fill me in please? Who took her?” Andy said loudly.
Though it was a whisper compared to the chants from our fans.
“An old friend of mine…that blonde hair punk from Mexico.” I answered him. “Come on, let’s get this over with. We’ll fill you in with the rest of the details later.” I said as I walked back to the stage.
“Fine.” Andy said.
We then got to our spots on the stage and preformed our last song.

(Midnight’s POV)
As soon as the guys came back on stage, I knew something was extremely wrong. I caught Ashley trying to calm Jinxx down, so they could play. Jinxx and I made eye contact. I nodded as I saw him relax. The song started.
“I’m going to find Bethanne.” I told Meadow. “stay here with the guys until I return.”I continued. “Look for Husk.” I finished, knowing she knew what I was talking about. She nodded.
I started to leave, when I felt Ashley’s eyes on me. I turned to face him. “I’ll be back.” I mouthed to him. “I’m going to find Bethanne.” I mouthed again.
He nodded as he went over to tell Jinxx. When I was clear of the crowd, as much as possible, I clouded my eyes and turned into a husky. It took awhile to pick up her scent; but once I did, I followed it to the back of the whole venue. I heard the other bands starting to play, Though I focused on the task I had set for myself.

(Ashley’s POV)
After the show, we were back in our tent. We were going to a meet and greet later. Though for now, were were finishing packing up so we could head off to the next city for Warped Tour.
Meadow had found us after our show and explained in better detail of what happened to Angel or ‘Bethanne’ as she and my girl, Midnight, knows her as. Jinxx was even more impatient now then he had during ‘Overture.’ It was strange to see him like this. It was unnerving; and to top it of all, Andy still didn’t believe us. Jinxx then growled. Scaring the five of us in the process.
“I’m sorry.” He said when he saw our reactions. “Ash, I’m sorry. I can’t just stay here until Midnight comes back.” He added, then bolted out of the tent like lightning.
I ran after him, but he was already gone. I looked up at the sky and noticed some clouds.
I hope those weren’t his doing.

(Jinxx’s POV)
As soon as I cleared the tent, I sprinted. I had no idea where I was going or if he managed to do anything. I didn’t feel the onslaught of power, that was rumored to hit us when our true love died. Though I didn’t feel at peace, as I ran I caught some looks from shocked fans.
Thank god, I’m wearing sunglasses. So they didn’t see my eyes.
They were probably wondering why I running and where I was going in such a hurry. Every now and then I heard a camera shutter, which indicated to me that fans took picture of me running. If I wasn’t so worried, I probably would’ve smiled.

(CC’s POV)
“What the hell was that all about?” Andy asked.
“I wish I knew.” I heard Ashley say, when he returned to the tent.
Jake laughed in amusement. We looked at him in curiosity.
“Ash, you should know.” Jake said. “he told you what happened in his dream after I woke him. Didn’t he?”
I looked confused at Jake.
“Of c--SHIT!” Ashley yelled suddenly after cutting himself off. “How could I have missed that?”he asked.
“O-okay, so ‘what the hell was that all about?’” I asked, repeating Andy’s question.
“He’s going to stop Alex from killing Bethanne.” Ashley answered, surprisingly soft and quiet after his outburst.
While Jake and Ashley tried to explain to Andy, for the umpteenth time, what Jinxx is. I heard a whimper. It wasn’t human, which is why I had noticed it. I turned to see what made the noise and I froze.
“Um…guys…” I said.
They stopped talking and looked at me.
“What?” Andy asked, then followed my gaze. “Oh-Shit. What’s that husky doing here?”
Meadow turned to see what Andy was talking about.
“Ah, Husk, you’re here.” She said, we all stared at her. “Did you find her?” she asked, as if it could understand her.

(Ashley’s POV)
The husky nodded. How is it possible that the dog can understand her? Better yet, where’s-then it hit me. May be the husky is Midnight. I went up to it as Meadow continued to talk to it. The husky looked away from Meadow and looked at me. It then walked over to me. When we stopped, I looked at it and in its eyes.
“Midnight?” I asked as I recognized the eyes.
The husky nodded. “Jinxx isn’t here. He went to find Angel. He couldn’t wait until you got here.”
Midnight growled, most likely out of frustration.
“Can you take us to her?” I asked.
Midnight nodded.
“Lead the way.”

(Jinxx’s POV)
Wherever it was I was going, I knew that this strange mystic feeling was some sort of homing device feeling. My feet stopped without warning and I almost fell. After regaining my balance, I looked around to take in my surroundings. I was at the back of the venue in front of a bathroom near one of the stages.
Why the hell am I here? Was Angel inside? I dreaded to find out. I slowly went up to the bathroom door.

(Andy’s POV)
We made it over wherever this husky was taking us. This behavior that Jinxx has been displaying since Mexico isn’t him. Today is the strangest. He brought a girl that seems like he’s been seeing for years not just that, but he’s got the others thinking he’s some hundred year old wizard calling himself ‘the mystic’. It’s all child’s play. I have no idea-no matter how many times they explain it to me-what is going on. I ran into Ashley, not realizing that we had stopped.
“She’s in there?” Ashley asked.
The husky nodded. He was about to go in, when we heard a commotion.
“Touch her again and I’ll kill you.”
We all froze as we saw the blonde guy from Mexico get thrown out of the bathroom by Jinxx, who was yelling at him.
“You’re lucky I’m letting you go easy.” he said. “You better hope we don’t meet again.”
I’ve never seen him so angry. The guy chuckled.
“Oh come on Jinxx, being dark isn’t all that bad.” the guy said. “You should just let her go. You’ll get her power anyway.”
“Is that it? Power? If so then I don’t want to go dark. I have the power I want. I’m not power hungry like you, Reign. I really hope you find another true partner.”
The guy-Rain?-laughed. “There is only one true love for us, Jinxx…and you know it.”
“I do. But I also know that it is possible to have more than one…it’s not in our history, because it hasn’t been recorded.”
“And how do you know that? You’re only a decade older than me, not a millennium.”
“She told me, Reign, there is another person out there for you. He can return you to how you were before Tallie-” Jinxx told him, but he couldn’t finish what he wanted to say. “Don’t do this shit, Reign, I miss my best friend. Where is that Reign? The one where we make fun of those who hated us. The one who was there for me, when I needed back up. Where’s that Reign?”
(Ashley’s POV)
Jinxx’s attitude had done a complete three-sixty within the course of his monologue. Jinxx then sighed heavily as I saw clouds disperse.
Reign broke down then. Jinxx knelt down and brought him into a hug.
“Reign, I’m sorry.” he said quietly.
“Jinxx, I’m so sorry. You’re the last person I wanted to hurt.”
“There’s the Reign I know.” Jinxx said softly. “It’s all right…It’s in the past now.”
“I’m sorry for what happened in Mexico. I honestly only wanted to talk, but it took over.”
“What do you mean ‘it took over’?” Jinxx asked.
“Don’t go dark, Jinxx, it’s horrible. One moment, you’re you and the next--having no control over what you do or say. The times we meet after Tallie, I wanted so much just to talk. But--it’s like going full throttle...but no consciousness, while it happens.”Reign told him.
I looked around as they continued to talk. I realized that Midnight husky was missing. Though I caught a glimpse of its tail going into the bathroom. The others were caught up in the conversation that was still going on. Andy looked lost and confused, thanks to his stubbornness of not wanting to fully understand Jinxx.
I pulled away from the group and went inside. Once I was in, it looked like a battleground. The stall doors were off their hinges. The mirrors were shattered, sinks were broken and what remains of them and the mirrors were scattered everywhere. The pipes of the sinks were spraying water, like a fire hydrant. What the hell happened in here? I continued to take in the surroundings, trying to find Midnight husky. But instead I found Angel in one of the stalls unconscious and injured.
“Midnight…where are you?” I asked.
A cat lifted it’s head up, then it’s eyes clouded over as smoke covered it.

(Midnight’s POV)
I returned to my normal self, Ashley was frozen with shock and surprise.
“Y-you--” he managed to say.
I laughed. “It’s one of my powers- shape shift. The other is healing…Jinxx told Meadow about his dream. It’s the reason why I wanted to come.”
I then looked down at her. “Reign did a good number on her.” I said as I felt my eyes cloud over. “She has six broken ribs, a fractured right ulna and radius…broken left tibia and femur…she has a concussion as well…” I examined her. I then felt my eyes return to normal. “Jinxx is lucky that Reign didn’t kill her.”
“Why?”
“Upon a true love death, the remaining partner gets the powers of the deceased…causing them to go dark before their final death. You saw his reaction when they came out of here. He would be worse than that.”
“Could you heal her?”
“Considering that her injuries were caused by a mystic…yes.” I answered, then sighed. “Her illness is strong…but before I could cure her illness, I need to heal these injuries first.”
Ashley nodded. “Will it cause you to black out?”
“Most likely.” I answered.
“I’ll be here to catch you if you fall.” He said as he smiled lightly.

(Jinxx’s POV)
“Are you ready?” I asked Reign when he quieted down from our argument.
He nodded. “She’ll need a hospital.” he tells me.
I shook my head. “No need; I found a healing mystic. I’m sure she’s in the bathroom doing what is needed to be done.”
“Do you really think there is another out there for me, Jinxx?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Did you tell them yet?”
I sighed. “Yeah, Andy doesn’t believe me though.”
“Give him time.”
Some time after our conversation died, the bathroom door opened. I looked over and saw Ashley coming out with Midnight in his arms.
I went towards him as CC rushed over.
“She’s fine. She just exhausted herself.” Ashley told CC.
He then looked at me. “You should get in there before she wakes up, Jinxx.” he said.
“How is she?”
“She’s a lot better then when you found her.”
“That’s fantastic.” I said as I made my way to the door.
“She’s free of the disease.” he whispered to me as I walked passed him.

I nodded.
