Chapter 23: Concert of terror 1.23

Things proceeded fast after the akward first meeting with Weiss Schnee, the princess of dust. Heiress of one of the largest industries on Remnant... etc... Bitch.

"Hey Coco guess who I talked to just now." I was sitting on a changing room talking to my pink scroll with small smile.

"Was it Schnee?" I heard the familiar cool voice from the other side and wind?

"Yep." I said in heavy voice to convey just how fed up I felt.

"Oh... was the Schnee 'a bully' too?" I rolled my eyes hearing Coco imitating me.

"Anyway, are you in Atlas? Can you come to the concert? It starts in about fifteen minutes."  I hope she does come...

I looked at the white dress I was wearing. It was pure white and was decorated with pink flowers at the edge of the skirt. It also had glimmer... lots and lots of glimmer... as if the one designing the dress was afraid the one wearing it was not noticed when walking across road late at night...

I also had white stockings and white high heels... I was not too comfortable with them. I was currently sitting to rest my legs... what a painnnn.

"Actually I asked if we could skip the mission preparations and do them tomorrow, but Velvet went mad..." Coco seemed apologetic, but it's not like she can be too selfish. She is a team leader after all. I'm happy that she even asked her team.

"It's okay... Are you occupied the whole weekend?" It could be fun to meet Coco's team and hang out with her in Atlas... No, it sounds really nice!

"Probably not the whole weekend. We should be done tomorrow night if all goes well and free at sunday before we go back to beacon later that day." The wind on Coco's side made it little hard to hear, but it was manageable.

*knock...knock...knock* I looked at the private changing rooms door.

"Yes?" I called out with raised voice.

"Are you ready, Miss Primrose. Your turn will be soon to go to stage. You will be singing before Weiss, so the pressure may be hard to bear." A voice of woman... Its Mint. What does she mean by the pressure though?

"I'm ready... I'm out in a moment." I looked at the scroll in my hand.

"Sorry Coco I have to go now. Wish me luck?" I looked at the white ceiling, while taking a deep breath.

"You can do it Prim. You are awesome like that okay." I smiled hearing the encouragement from my current best friend. I was expecting nothing less and it's all I need.

"Bye Coco, Good luck with your mission, be careful okay?" You are not weak like me after all Coco loco...

"Who do you think I'm. We will see on sunday, if you're still on Atlas, okay? Bye." I closed the call While letting out deep breath once again.

Now I can't really carry anything with this dress... I was feeling uneasy however. I wonder why? It's just one song... ten minutes max.

I suddenly remembered the golden ticket. I could carry it, but why would I need to take it? Well lets take it for luck. I really need that...

I dropped my Scroll to the locker along with my change of clothes. Soon I only had the golden ticket which I put inside a hidden pocket located underside the dress. It was most likely meant for some hidden gadget. I didn't plan to use those. After all, I'm Rose... Primrose.

I rolled my own eyes feeling glad no one would know the bad bond joke... ever.

...

*knock...knock*

"Yes I'm coming!" Haaah.. I walked outside seeing the green haired woman in black business suit and skirt smiling professionally like usual... are you some kind of robot?

"Where is the mic?" At my question Mint lifted her hand before assistant walked towards us with white mic I used earlier on the rehearsal.

"It's your time." I nodded following Mint's lead across the white halls hearing the voices of many people getting nearer and nearer.

The hall turned after a while and it got darker and darker the longer I walked it. The sound of people faraway was staggering. Just how many people were there?

The green haired woman stopped and I saw a white stage at the end of the dark hallway. A bright light at the end of tunnel... poetic.

"Let us welcome! Primrose!" I heard a man's voice reverting ahead of me. It's my time to go. I breathed deeply one more time before making myself smile.

As soon as I stepped to the light I was blinded for a moment. As I opened my eyes hearing recorded music playing across the hall.

Thousands... tens of thousands of people carrying white lights with them were before me. All of this people came here to hear Weiss Schnee. Not me.

In fact they don't even know me.

... and I felt the pressure. All this people looking at me. For the first time I felt afraid in front of people...

My hand was shaking. No cheering was heard... only silence and small muttering. Thousand upon thousand of strangers were looking at me excepting nothing from me...

For a moment I felt I didn't even exist... no I was looking at myself like I was not even there.

The pressure was unbearable...

I hate this...

Hate that they don't know me...

Hate Weiss for asking me to do this...

And most of all at that very moment...

I hated myself.

...

And that very hate was what snapped me out of the moment.

F*ck this...

I closed my eyes to hear the song already playing... good I didn't mess up yet. I recalled the lyrics of the song I had been practicing for the whole week.

I was going to sing 'House of memories, played by panic! at the disco'

As the moment for me to sing was here I opened my mouth and sang.

 

The white stage seemed to vanish before my eyes as I sang with all my heart. Feeling the deep loneliness inside myself. Singing it out for the people hearing it.

I was alone in Remnant...

 

I didn't wish to be afraid... the grimm... Remnant was terrifying... The unknown room I came in.

I went to look for it before... it was gone.

 

The world I lived in before... the memories... they were slowly vanishing... day by day...

What was it like?...

Who was I?...

 

...

 

I stopped singing.

I was currently looking at the shattered moon visible from the open roof... snow was gently falling over the stage.

I lowered my hand with the mic slowly hearing the numerous clapping sounds and people cheering for me. I felt indifferent to it all...

I slowly bowed my head little while lifting the edges of my skirt little. I slowly straightened myself and started to walk back outside.

"Wonderful! And now the long awaited... Weiss Schnee!" The man's voice reverted once again and I saw a silhouette walking towards me from the same tunnel.

*Explosion*

A sudden impact force from behind made me fall to my knees.

I turned to see smoke raising from the ceiling and pieces of equipment dropping to ground.

Most of the lights had been broken making the moon only source of light... and the fire.

People screamed in terror trying to get away.

"What happened!" I turned seeing Weiss running towards me in her signature white and blue battle dress. I slowly tried to get up from my knees.

"Primrose!" Weiss turned seeing me on my knees little away from the tunnel.

"Something bad..." I muttered while looking at the people dressed in black, faces covered. rising among the audience and walking towards the stage... some were shooting at the sky making even more people scream and jump to ground for cover...

...

..

.

"Something really bad..."
