(Jinxx’x POV)
I came out of the bathroom dressed and towel drying my hair. I went back to where the guys were. I got the sudden feeling that they were talking about me. I only got this feeling, because they were all looking at me.
“Yes?” I asked as I shifted with uneasiness.
“I have a question...” Andy said as he suddenly remembered something. “and it’s for you, Jinxx.” he added.
I sighed. “of course it is. That’s all you guys seem to be doing recently.” I said. “what is it?” I asked.
“Your necklace…” Andy said as he tried to form the question right. “it was pulsing like a heartbeat when you unconscious.” He stated. “how is that possible?”
There’s the question. “I don’t know…it does that sometimes.” I lied. The truth is that it does that to heal what other mystics did to me in a fight.
“Why are you lying to us?” Ashley asked.
Shit. I knew he would catch on to my lying, but not this quick. I looked away in defeat, but I didn’t say anything.
Ashley came up to me and forced me to look at him, by placing both of his hands on my face. Had he been any closer, I think we would’ve kissed and that would be gross. “Why are you lying to us, Jinxx? We’ve been together as a band for nine years, you should know by now that you could trust us.”
I looked away from him as much as I could. “I-I don’t want you guys to get hurt.” I whispered the truth.
“Hurt?” Ashley asked confused. “you’re hurting us by lying to us. What is it that you don’t want us to get hurt from?”
I shook my head. “Not what...who.”
I looked at Ashley, he was more confused now then he was before.
“Who?” he asked puzzled.
“Yes, who...and if you guys know what’s best you’d leave me alone until I’m ready to tell you the truth.” I said as I pulled his hands away from my face. “I’m sorry I caused the trouble earlier and making you guys worry about me.” I added. “The last thing I want, is for you guys to get hurt.” I continued I then backed away from Ashley as a wave of drowsiness hit me. “if you excuse me, guys, I’m going to bed.” I finished as I made my way to the bunks.

(Ashley POV)
“He’s scared of something happening to us.” I said, turning around to the guys, when the door to the bunks closed.
“What do you mean, Ash?” Andy asked.
“He wasn’t lying at all when I was talking to him.” I answered him.
Andy didn’t say anything, because unlike CC; I talk normally to Jinxx.
“But who is he trying to protect us from?” Jake asked.
“Could be that punk that he was talking to.” CC answered.
“It could be.” I said.
They all looked at me in shocked horror that I would actually say something like that.

(Jinxx POV)
I sighed as I lay down on my bunk and let sleep get me as I felt the bus finally moving to go somewhere...
Fields of grass as far as the horizon...the sun was giving off it’s golden rays of light as it was rising. I made a soft breeze blow...I then took up my violin and played it. I was wearing a casual tuxedo and a top hat. My arms were free of tattoos...since it wasn’t allowed for everyone...just the rich, which my family wasn’t. My long hair, it was a long full head of hair...not like the ladies, blew in the breeze. If I hadn’t known any better I would say I was in ‘the little house on the prairie’ movie...but this was my first life...I was twenty-six. I remember Travis being mad at me for being able to use my powers before him. We had a little fight, which had brought me to these fields and playing my violin.
My parents came out to tell me that they found a beautiful girl for me. Though they know about mystics true love factor, since my mother was a mystic and her true love happened to be a human, none of us really could find the right one. There were so many...and my parents did the best they could to help me when I tried to find mine... My stone on my necklace remained white. I gave up on finding a women who could be the one...which was another reason why I was in these fields….
Years later, I believe it was 1930...the second year of the depression….it was my life before the one I’m in now... We were leaving our house and heading somewhere where there were possible jobs…I held onto my violin as if it was the only thing I had….
“Jinxx…” Travis says. “Jinxx...wake up…”
I got confused. “I am awake.” I told him.
The ground shook and I fell…

(Jake’s POV)
I went to the bunks and found Jinxx clutching his pillow like he didn’t want to give it up, his expression said he wasn’t giving it up. I laughed at this as I bent over the bedrail.
“Jinxx…” I say. “Jinxx...wake up…” I added, when he didn’t move.
He moved then. “I am awake.” he mumbled.
The bus hit a bump, causing me to hit my head as Jinxx, being on the very edge of his bunk, fell onto the floor. He jolted awake and was disoriented as he looked around.
“When am I?” he asked confused.
“You’re on the tour bus.” I answered.
“Not where, you idiot, when?” he asked a bit irritated that I didn’t comprehend it the first time.
“2015…” I answered him, confused. What year did he think he was in? “Jinxx are you feeling all right?”
“I’ll be fine...when this depression is over...I want to work.”
“Um...you are working...you’re in a band called Black Veil Brides” I said confused. “….and what depression are you talking about?” I asked, as I caught what he said prior to him wanting to work.
“What year did you say this was?” he asked.
“Two thousand and fifteen…” I answered.
“Really? It’s not 1930?”
1930? Oh! He meant the great depression…when he said the depression…but…that was like fifty years before we were born…I shook my head. “No, Jinxx…it’s not 1930…may be you should go back to bed.”
I helped him up and back into bed.
“What was it that you wanted to tell me Travis?”
Travis? That’s his older brother’s name…isn’t it?…he must think he’s still dreaming… “We’re almost to our destination.”
“Mmokay…” he said sleepily as he turned over to face the window.
Before I could say anything else to him, I heard soft whispers coming from him. Something about using powers to cure something. I looked at him in concern, before leaving the room.

(Andy’s POV)
I see Jake leaving the bunk room with concern and confusion written plainly on his face.
“What’s with the expression, Jake?” I asked, knowing that he doesn’t normally wear it unless he can’t figure something out.
Ashley and CC looked up from their poker game when I spoke.
“I just had the strangest conversation with Jinxx.” he answered.
“What was it about?” Ashley asked.
“I have no idea…but he did mention something about wanting to work after the depression is over.” Jake answered.
“Depression? Is he in a depression? Is that why he’s acting like this?” I asked, puzzled.
Jake shook his head. “the depression as in the Great Depression that happened in the thirties.” he answered. “then he called me Travis.”
“Travis? As in his older brother?” CC asked.
“Yeah.”Jake answered.
We all then fall back doing what we were doing, before Jake had gone back there to inform Jinxx.

(Jinxx POV)
I was standing in the middle of Hollywood in the state of California. At first I was confused as to why I was there. Then I saw a girl about my age, literally, her chocolate eyes were staring at me weakly. I went up to her.
“Hello.” I say for lack of words.
“Hi.” she answered, her blond hair was up in a spiky bun. Her bangs were red. She had my necklace and bracelet on. She looked to be of Japanese decent.
“I’m Jeremy.” I said using my cover name, just incase she wasn’t a mystic.
“I’m Bethanne, it’s nice to finally meet you.”
I looked at her confused. “It’s nice to meet you too.” I said.
She giggled. Such a sweet sound… “I need help with something.” she said, her voice trembled a little of which I hadn’t noticed until now.
“Anything. What is it you need help with?” I asked, unable to see what is wrong with her.
“A boy named Alex wants to kill me.”
I stood there horrified. “Why?”
“So you could be like him…a dark mystic.”
“but…I would die a month after my true love does.”
She shook her head. “look at your necklace…it’s pink…I am yours…just like you are mine. I’m dying as it is.”
I looked at my necklace astonished that it changed color…like my mother had told me it would do so long ago. I looked at her. “dying?” I asked. “from what?”
“The only disease that could kill us.”
“You’re a mystic?”
“Yes, my real name is Angel.”
“Mine’s Jinxx.”
“I know...you’re in Black Veil Brides...you sure are creative...using your real name as a nickname with the band.”
I laughed. “I haven’t told them yet.” I said. “how much longer do you think you have?”
“At most a century…but now that we meet, you won’t die a month after me.”
“What do you mean?”
“We can still survive when the other passes; but you’d still go dark.”
“Wait…dark? I don’t…Angel…there must be someone with the healing powers so you can be cured.”
She laughed lightly. “If there is I haven’t meet them in the six regenerates that I’ve been through. My stone is the only thing that’s keeping it at bay at the moment.”
“Dark doesn’t suit me…crazy does…but dark?”
She laughed again. “I’ll be waiting to meet you when we’re awake. Stop Reign before he gets me.”
“How? I’m still on tour.”
“I’ll be at your next performance…I’ve been a fan since 2006, and I haven’t missed a concert yet. I’ve missed the meet and greets and the signings…but not a concert. I know you’ve seen me before when you look out into the audience. Find me again. We’ll talk more then…I got to go…”
She said as she faded into nothing. “Angel!”
“-ngel!” I woke up yelling from the dream, hitting my head on the bottom of the bunk above me.

Did that really just happen? Did I actually found the one I’ve been searching for? Did I dreamt her up or is that one of her powers?
