Purple Lightning [chapter 1]

She walked through the door. Holding back the swelling that pressed against her sights. Throwing the drumsticks across the room. Looking at the blood upon her hands. 1

Maybe, she thought. Maybe, she could wash it off. Stumbling, crashing against the wall putting her hands under the scorching hot water. Scrubbing her hands raw. The silently screamed in her mind as she still saw the blood red upon her guilty digits. 2

Feeling so mangled she stepped into the shower, clothes and all. Turning on the stream all the way. Ice cold, as she cuddled with herself in the far end of the tub. Hoping, the ice would have a different effect on the dirty body that she wore. 3

The night was like any other in Kansas City. Some would call it a joke of a city. Nothing compared to the sounds of NYC or the feeling of LA. However, it had something they didn't have: Identity. You could be you, not many really understood that, but she did. 5

She would get lost in her own "X". The feeling that pulsed through her body when sounds beat against her chest. Just that little thump would start the music that her soul would speak. The beat that kept her alive. So she devoted herself to show everyone the music she heard, the feeling she felt, the smell it gave her, the sights she craved. 6

The own beat of her could not give enough of the expression she wanted to scream out. She had the money, she the had the fans, but it wasn't enough. Beats surrounded her, but yet something still was missing. Slamming the drums below her, moving so fast that she didn't even know how she could do it. Letting her body take over. She loved doing it, the sounds, the sights, the feeling, the taste, everything it gave. 7

"Only you, Only you can- do- this- to- me...." Rasping deep voice that sung into the mic, the sweet sound only gifted to few.8

He laughs, "Thanks for the great welcome back to Kansas City guys". He wipes some of the sweat of his forehead and takes another breath before speaking again. "Well lets give a great round for the b e a utiful Layla on the rhythmical and mystical drums" He smiles as he moves out of the way.9

She smirks and takes a quick solo for herself, with the crowd louder than ever. Looking so stunning with her long tri-colored hair. Sometimes she thought she had more fans than Gary, the lead singer. 10

"For the talented and exquisite Tyler on lead guitar!" A huge round of applause sprang out for the tall red head with his intricate tattoos across his chest. He played his wacky high pitched solo. 11

"And we can never forget the amazing Maralyn on lead base!" She bent down to her knees as she closed her eyes and played something of her romanticism upon the giant instrument. Her hair still stuck high with the lights coloring it as they moved upon her with her mesh shirt and tight leather pants. 12

"You guys are still amazing, oh you guys too on the instruments." They all smiled with Gary's charm. "Well, if you want a chance to hang stick around and you might be lucky enough to chill." He gave the crowd a wink and screams burst out when he started to smile. 13

Everything got moved backstage.14

"Lay, you did an awesome job tonight. I almost couldn't keep up with your stamina tonight."15

"Well I've just been feeling weird lately." She gave Gary a sweaty hug. 16

"Eww, you should clean up!" 17

"Look who's talkin!" They both laugh and go to there own dressing rooms. 18

Later on they meet up at a rented house after the showers and change of clothes. The drinking had already begun. She walked up the stairs and through the door. Pushing her way to the comfort of Gary. He gave her a drink.19

"Go find someone Lay, you don't need to keep running. Just let yourself go." Not wanting to start a fight she just walked away into the crowd. Not seeing the huge smirk on his face. 20

She walked passed all the people dancing to the loud music trying to get away from it all. Finally finding the sanctuary of an empty room, or so she thought.21

She sat her drink on the nightstand sitting on the bed holding her head in her soft hands. Hoping that what she felt would go away. Not paying attention to anything around her. 22

"Are you ok?"23

Lay jumped at least three feet from being so startled. Holding her chest with her clenched hand. 24

"YOU KNOW IT'S NOT FUNNY STARTLING PEOPLE LIKE THAT!" The girl standing in front of her was just so beautiful, Lay has never seen anyone like her. Looking closer this girl had washing deep fiery lavender eyes. Something that she has never seen before.25

"I'm sorry, you just look so, so, sad. Just like when your on stage with your beats. Your soul just lost in it. But listening for something."26

How can this girl know? Lay thought. How can this girl see her and what she feels?27

"How can you see that? Who are you?" This girl walked toward her. She sat on the bed, Lay just looked at her, gazed all about her. Her dark blonde hair just messy, but still giving a great style. She wore this dress that was ragged, but yet so elegant with a splash of punk with her mesh hose and girly shoes. Her body was just so perfect. Voice ringing inside of Lay's ears. 28

"My name is Killese." She scooted closer to Lay. Lay's heart starting to beat a little harder, her skin started to get hot. No one has been able to make her feel like this in such a long time. She didn't move, so scared not knowing what to do. 29

Killese slowly inched her way to Lay, trying not to scare her. To her Lay just seemed so vulnerable but yet so powerful in her presence. “You don’t know me, I used to dream about you. Watching you across the hall as would see you in the mirror of my locker. Just another girl in a oversized school.” Killese just couldn’t look at Lay as she poured her young high school secrets to the girl she always craved. “I was just another average girl that no one really talked to. You were the girl that had friends around you all the time. Everyone adored you, but no one saw me.” Her body just froze. “I’m sorry.”30

“No don’t be. That was such a long time ago. Shit, almost 3 years and seems so much longer.” Lay just couldn’t believe what she was hearing. This gorgeous girl in front of her pouring herself to her. She tried so hard to remember this girl, but couldn’t think straight. Her mind was so jumbled she could hardly control herself. 31

“I’m sure that you have so many girls and guys tell you this all the time. I’m sorry I’ll leave you alone.” Getting up and walking toward the door, she was pulled by her arm. Turning she saw the leopard eyes that she adored swell with emotion. 32

“Please don’t go, stay here, with me.” Lay couldn’t even understand why she needed Killese so much, but she did. Something about her that she couldn’t let pass by. 33

Killese couldn’t move, there was no way that this beautiful amazing woman could finally see her. Another girl, another girl that knew her before she was famous. That just wanted her, not the money. Nor the fame, just her. She shrugged Lay’s hand off her. 34

Lay closed her eyes as tears started crying upon her cheeks. She couldn’t move and started to sob as she felt the door slam in front of her. Gasping for air, a thumb pad cut off her tear from falling to the floor. No, she thought, she couldn’t be here. I’m imagining her, I’m not this lucky. 35

“Don’t cry love, I’m not going anywhere.” Killese stepped closer pushing her body towards Lay. Softly, she kissed her. The most tender of kisses, she felt a warm sensation ignite insider her temple. 36

Lay was lost to the world. Lost to this wondrous kiss. She felt her body turn inside below her belly. So warm, so hot, her skin felt like it was on fire. 37

Killese slowly pushed her backwards to the bed. Having her hand at her back she slowly laid Lay down. Lay broke the kiss, and smiled as she started to scoot up towards the top of the bed. Like a royal cat she crawled towards Lay purring inside her perfect neck. This sent something through Lay, she had never felt this feeling before. Soft moans escaped her lips as she felt hot breath work it’s way up to her neck. She felt so submissive. Wanting to be dominated by this mysterious woman, but she needed her so violently. Turning her head exposing soft silk line of skin for her desire. She moaned out so loud when Killese bite her. Body surging with energy, so amazing. Almost feeling as if she just got struck by lightning… 38
