Disenchanted

“Ah here we go!” said Mikey suddenly “Portal number… um…”
“10!” yelled Bob from the back of the float
Mikey counted them on his fingers
“Yup! 10! Thanks Bob!” Mikey grinned and waved at him. Bob tutted and shook his head.
The portal showed a 16 yr old patient sitting in the prison yard, alone, strumming on an old, battered guitar. 2 boys wandered over to him.
“Hi!” said one of them “I’m Jack and this is Tommy.”  He pointed at his friend who was absent-mindedly drumming in midair. “We think you’re really good at guitar and were wondering… um… would you like to join our band?”
Patient stared at the two boys.  No-one had ever asked him to join in with things since ‘the gun incident.’
“Sure” Patient replied, getting up. The portal shimmered. Patient was now 17 and was out of prison. Him, Jack, Tommy and a guy called Stan were sitting backstage, waiting to go on. Stan, the front man, was drinking vodka like water. Patient was growing steadily paler. A man appeared at the door.
“5 mins till your on guys!” he yelled over the roars of the crowd. Patient stared at him. The man grinned
“Don’t worry” he said calmly “you won’t feel a thing”
The picture changed. The crowd were roaring with approval as they left the stage. The 5 guys felt invincible…until the cops turned up. They looked at each other, back at the cops then legged it. After an hour, they finally lot ‘em. The guys were roaring with laughter. The portal vanished and Patient grinned.

Famous last words

“Not long now” Frank sighed, sitting down on the drum riser. “Shame. You’re one of the funniest people we’ve met.”
“How do you join the Black Parade?” Patient asked. Frank fell off the drum riser in shock. Ray and Bob, who were talking, froze and stared at him. Mikey looked shocked.
“You WANT to join the Black Parade?!?” Gee asked, shocked, as Frank got up, cursing under his breath.
“Yup!” Patient grinned.
“You really are different!” said Bob, amazed.
“What da mean?” Patient asked, confused
“Well” Ray counted off his fingers “You want to join the Black Parade, we had to go to Hell to see one of your memories, you wanted to see your funeral…”
“Yeah, yeah. I get it!” said Patient, impatiently “but tell me. How do you join the Black Parade?”
“Well. You ask death and he decides if you’re worthy.
“Is that what you guys did?” Patient asked
“No” they answered as one.
“Then…” Patient shook his head “Never mind. Um… personal question time... how…er… how did you guys…um…die?
Patient blushed as they all stared at him
“Sorry. Curious” he muttered.
“Um… well.” Stuttered Frank, taken aback. He looked at Gerard.
“What?” asked Gee
“I think you should explain” said Frank quietly “you know what really happen”
“I was drunk as hell, remember!” he hissed at Frank
Frank shrugged. The others stared at Gee, who sighed.
“Fine. I’ll tell the story” he sighed “before we ‘died’ we were in a band called ‘My Chemical Romance’…”
“I know them!” Patient cried “but… they’re still alive.”
Everyone laughed. Patient looked at them, confused
“We are My Chemical Romance and We are The Black Parade” laughed Mikey.
“But..?” Patient stuttered, confused.
Gerard sighed “It was after a gig, somewhere in England I think…”
“I thought we were in America?” interrupted Frank
“America. England. Who cares?” sighed Gee “It was after a gig. And we were wasted! I can’t remember how much we’d had but it was a lot. One minute I’m lying in a room, next Death is towering over me! Everything around me had gone black but I could here the others yelling out. I heard Mikey yelling out to me. He sounded more scared then than he’d ever been in his life. I yelled back to him but I still couldn’t see him. I pleaded with Death to let me see the others. He nodded and I saw the 4 guys staggering towards me.  I ran over to them and pulled them in to a hug. Then Death started to decide where we were to go: Heaven or Hell. He brought back awful memories and happy memories. Just as He was about to send us to our final resting place I had an idea. Surly it would be faster if someone took them on the journey instead. I told Death about The Black Parade, the idea for our third album, and He agreed that we were to become The Black Parade. He sent us back to life but we still had to guide people to death and well... here we are.” He finished lamely
“Wow” breathed Patient “that’s so cool!”
“Last portal” said Bob sadly, spotting it in the distance

Blood

The portal glowed red as they approached. Patient looked at it warily. He could remember last time it glowed red.
“Is it…safe?” he asked quietly. Frank looked at him, shocked then squinted at the portal.
“Yup!” he told Patient reassuringly.

Patient was lying in a war hospital, his leg bandaged. He was alone in the ward.
“Oh no” Present Patient moaned as a nurse entered the ward, with a syringe and a blood bag.
“It’s that time again Patient” she smiled at him. Past Patient moaned. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were red.
“Come on Nurse!” he moaned as she set up the equipment “I’ve given you gallons!”
“It’s still not enough Patient” she tutted as she inserted the needle into the red mark on Patient’s arm. The same place she took blood from yesterday. And the day before that. And the day before that! It was bright next to the white walls. Patient’s head span, he was so weak now.
“Damn” he muttered as he drifted off to sleep. The nurse smiled and transferred the blood in the needle into the blood bag. Another nurse came in with some roses. The portal dripped away like blood, revealing a massive white door behind it. Patient, who was rubbing his arm subconsciously, stared at it. He turned and saw that The Black Parade was behind him.
“We have to go” said Gerard sadly
“No!” Patient cried “Don’t leave me! Please don’t leave me” Frank turned away, his eyes filling with tears. Ray and Mikey looked away. Bob looked at Patient sadly.
“Maybe we’ll see you later” he smiled at him sadly
“Yeah” nodded Patient, tears flowing down his face.
“Goodbye Patient” Frank called sadly as the float drifted away into the darkness
“Goodbye Black Parade” whispered Patient as the float disappeared, leaving him at death’s door…alone.
woohoo! finished! finally! *does a lil dance* sorry bout leaving it like i have.
