A Mystery Yet to be Solved *Uriah*

[Eveangel Stonefeather]

Eve stepped into the club. It was karaoke night and air filled with voices that had no pitch. It took a lot of guts to get up when you knew you couldn't sing. A couple of people noticed her, making room for her. She was definitely a noticeable person. Her "Oh My Goth!" shirt hug the curves that were often hidden by large, hippy like shirts she liked to wear sometimes. The wolf tattoo was visible on her left upper arm. "Hey babe," one of the many club rats said. His hair was slicked back and he chewed on a tooth pick.

"Don't even think about," Eve said, without giving him a chance to say anything. He pursued his lips at her, chewing on the tooth pick with a sort of vengeance. It was coming up to be her turn on the karaoke machine. What song should she sing? Anything that didn't have her scream. Though she had her meta-power under control, a lot of the people in the club didn't know she was meta and she wanted to keep it that way.

"Please welcome Angel!" the DJ yelled into the microphone. With realtive ease, she climbed onto the stage. The guitar riff immediately came on. After about two beats, she broke out into the song.

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please Somebody

Test my reality
Check if there's a weak spot
Clingin' to insanity
In hopes the world will ease up

Try to make it look like it's all somehow getting better
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good against the measure
Everyone started out a little insane
But we learn pretty quick how to fake it for the game
But some of you never learned to drop the act
So under that skin of yours: a heart attack

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

And if I had the answers I'd have written them out
So I can tell you what to do and what this thing is about
But all I've ever learned comes second-hand
And I dare not preach what I don't understand

You and I; we share the same disease
Cover up; compromise what we grieve
I've let more than my share of revivals die
This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

Pointing my fingers the problems still linger
They keep getting bigger and I hold the trigger
Running with fire, I live like a liar
Please somebody make a move

Somebody make a move (I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody make a move (The problems still linger)
Somebody make a move (I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody
Somebody make a move

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along

'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I'll play along
Like I don't know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on

She stepped off the stage, wiped her brow and took a swig from the water bottle that was placed there for her. She moved to the bar and ordered a martini. A man around her age or a little younger approached her. She leaned against the bar, watching him with cool blue eyes.
