“I was really not that old, 2007 it was, I was 13 years."

I stopped, I looked shortly out the window remembering that time.

“You know my life, or at least you did. When I was 13, I found this band called black veil Brides randomly at YouTube. I have always only cared for the classic music that I play myself, but this, this music was… well first I scared me a bit, the voice of this young man was so rough. It was called A devil for me and the band called themselves Black veil Brides. It scared me but still fascinated me.”

Nanny looked at me half in chock half in contempt; she had raised me to be a proper little girl. She only knew that side to me.

“So I did some research, the band was only just started, armatures really, but the music was talking to me so I search for music similar.” I looked at nanny a bit afraid of what her facial expression looked like.

“I found Escape the fate, founded just the year before, and after them I kept finding more and more!” I felt the excitement filling my inside. I really loved my music!

“But why child? Excitement? You must have something better than that!” my nanny looked worried at me.

“You don’t get it! I’m a puppet in this household! I have to behave proper so my parents don’t get humiliated but they keep me here as a prisoner!” My voice rose as all the many years of private teaching and lessons came back. The feeling of how the walls are coming closer and how the sun baking from the window was killing me all those years.

“The lyrics they sing, they mean something.” I looked at my hands. “It’s like they are dedicated to only me, like the bands know what I have been trough and are trying to comfort me” I looked at my nanny.

“I feel like myself when I listen to them, they doesn’t expect me to dress all fine and big and say hello to a thousand people I will never meet again.”

Nanny still looked at me but now with sorrow and guilt. “I’m sorry my dear, I should have known!”

I shooked my head, “I practice my whole life to be the perfect daughter so that my parents can be proud, so that no one will know, I have my mask, and I put it on and no one can see it.” I smiled a pitiful smile.

“Not even you could see through my mask” I took the old ladies hands and smiled at her.

She smiled back and gave me a hug. “I love you little goddess”
We laughed a bit and then she left. I crawled back into my temple and stayed there until dinner. _______________________________________________________________________________

Today was Saturday, family time. I never really understood that all it means is that my sisters and brothers know no longer live at home; comes to eat dinner and then we all go back to our little worlds.

But it was always a good day! I got to see my sisters and brothers all together!

I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers and they are all older than me. I’m the youngest on 19, Satet and Seth are twins and are 21. Horus is 25, Maat is 26 and Osiris is 29. Yes we are all named after Gods of the old Egypt.

Our mother is very fascinated by it and she thinks that given us names of the gods we will become important people. For now she has been right.

Osiris is already a director of a big company, Maat is a model for a German label, Horus has just finished his education as a doctor and the twins are at the best possible university any parent could wish for. So I have my share to live up to!

“How are you today Isis? Are you studying well?” Osiris chatter as we eat, I simply nod, he is kinda my second dad, since my real father doesn’t really care it’s nice to have Osiris.

“Do you know what university you are going to apply?” Seth ask with passion, he really want’s me to go to the same university as they does.

“I haven’t really decided yet, I just know it must be something with music!” They all smile at me. I’m the musical wonder in our flock of 6.

“Now that we are talking about music, why don’t you play something for us after dinner? Didn’t father give you that beautiful white piano forte?” Maat loves when I play music and I smile big. “I would be honored.”

Sitting by the piano I feel home. My fingers are created to play, nothing else.

I stretch my fingers and lay them careful on the keys. I take a deep breath and with a smile I play one of my favorite Bach songs.

“What on earth is going on? I’m trying to work here!” My mother comes screaming down the stairs in the large hallway. I stop playing as we all stares at her.

“Isis was only playing some music for us mother, she has become very good, almost professional” my oldest sister winks at me and I smile.

“That was far from perfect! Even I could hear that! She must train a lot more if she really wants to become a composer! I’m trying to work so please do not play tonight” she starts to walk out the room as she turns to my siblings.

“shouldn’t you all be home? You never stay after dinner, that’s improper!” with these words she leaves the room.

“Caring and loving as always I see” groan my youngest brother, “oh well, we are no longer wanted in this house”

He stands up and gives me a hug, “stay tight” as they say their goodbyes I follow them to the doors.

“We love you” they say in choir as they wave and leave. I smile for myself as I shut the door.

“Why are you still up young lady? It’s way past your bedtime!” nanny pushes me up the many stairs and into my room.

“Nanny, I’m 19 I’m no baby anymore! I do not need a bedtime” but little do I get to finish before she has closed the door.

I sigh as I shake my head, that old lady will never let me get older.

I sing for myself as I find something to sleep in. My usual black hotpants and a tank top.

I look in the mirror. My long blond curly hair is a bit messy so I start brushing it as I sing along to one of Black veil brides new songs.

“We are…We are the revelation so scream it loud! We are... we are the birth of a nation!”

I open my laptop and go to my usual sites and my heart stops.

Black Veil Brides is coming to Denmark?!
