My visions-Ch.2(Dreaming)
As Clarus stepped out of the car to greet the smiling tiger,he sees Michael,and Kim at the corner of his eye.
"Took you,and Shaun long enough to get here.We were almost getting ready to pack it up."
The tiger says.Clarus scratches his head in embaressment.
"Sorry Roy.But I overslept,and Shaun was a bit slow this morning as usual."
He responds.Roy grins,and they both head to his garage to start the practice.
"Hey Clarus!! How are you?"
Micael asks.He was a pretty small rabbit with a pink color to his fluffy fur.Out of the entire group,he was the most delicate,and was openly gay to his friends,but not in public.He was wearing a bright yellow sweat shirt,and white shorts.He always wore bright colors,making Clarus,and Michael yin and yang.Clarus responds to his greetings.
"Hey Michael.I'm fine,just ready for the gig tomorrow.I'm a bit anxious."
The black wolf replied.He then locks onto Kim who was tuning his guitar.He was a very quiet cat,but spoke to Clarus the most.He had a darkened orange fur,and his hair covered most of his face,so it was nearly impossible to get a look at his eyes.Clarus never saw his eyes,but he did'nt care.He was staring at his crush.Kim was wearing blue jeans with a red plad shirt with a white t-shirt under it.Clarus grins slightly as he walked in Kim's direction.Kim kept tuning his guitar,but then lifts his head in response to Clarus' presence.He grins,and puts his guitar down for a second.
"Hey Clarus.How are you.Was Shaun giving you a hard time again?"
The cat asks as he kept looking at the shy wolf.Even though no one could see how pink his face was cause of his black fur,he was blushing un-controlably.
"Naw.It's just the usual.What about you Kim? How are you?"
He responds.Kim picks his guitar back up.
"The same.My mornings are never full of tales like yours are."
He responds.Clarus nodds,and continues to grin.
"(Thank god no one can see how red my face is.)"
Clarus thought to himself.He's usually calm and collected,but when it came to Kim,he was a pup longing to get it's ears scratched.Roy comes out of his garage and was wearing a green sweater,and brown cargo pants.He looks at everyone and clears his throat.
"Alright guys,today is Thursday,and tomorrow is the big day for us.We're gonna play our best song that we have so far,and rock the house tomorrow."
Roy announces.Shaun was sitting on a chair,lazyly and raises his hand.Roy looks at him in an annoyed mood.
"*Sigh* This is'nt a classroom Shaun,but what's your question?"
Roy asks.
"Which song are we playing,cause we have 20."
He says.Roy nodds.
"I'm getting there.We're gonna play"Stars divide".We've been practicing that song the most so it would be smart to do that one."
Roy finishes.Everyone nodds in agreement.They all got set up for rehearsal.They each had a specific role in their band.They're name was "Bone Lie".Clarus was the drummer.Shaun was the basist.Michael was the vocalist.Roy was the pianist,and Kim was on guitar.They got set up and Clarus begun thier countdown:
"3,2,1, let's go!!"
He says as they began to play.They were very talented.The show they were playing tomorrow was'nt the first they've ever done.They've been doing this for 4 years now,but how they played,it felt like they've been doing it their whole lives.They were mostly a punk rock band,but had certain elements added in their other songs."Stars divide"was a special song that used all of the instruments,and the result was entoxicating to their ears.The more they played,the more their bodies got used to the rythym.That was their formula.That was Bone lie's key:Flow with the notes.That was Roy's moto.After their song,they were prepped and ready for their debut tomorrow.They all sighed,and smiled at one another.
"That was awesome guys.Michael,your notes were as good as ever,if not,better."
Roy says.Michael grins.
"Alright!! Who's up for pizza? My treat."
Shaun shouts.They all shrug their shoulders,and started to clean up.Clarus was in pretty good shape,and was more eager than ever.They were finished packing everything,and they all head to Shaun's car.Since it was a standard volvo that had a back seat,5 people could easily fit inside.While Roy was in the passenger's seat,Michael,being the short rabbit that he is,sat in the middle between Clarus,and Kim.Shaun hopped in and start the car.
"Awe yeah,we're off to the pizza parlor.I have'nt had pizza in a while."
The canine says as they leave Roy's driveway.
"You had pizza 2 days ago."
Clarus says in a smart allicy kind of way.
"Like I said.It's been a while."
Shaun responds.Before they knew it they were on the road.As they drove,Clarus kept catching himself eyeing Kim who was enjoying the breeze with the window down.He then looks at Michael who was texting someone.He read the message,and was smiling cencrely at the responses.
Michael's text:
Can't wait to see you sweety. ;)
Response:
Me neither.See you later. <3
Michael closes his phone,and sighs romantically.
"So,you finally found one huh?"
Clarus asks.Realizing that he probably saw the text,Michael smiles and nodds.
"Yeah.He's so kind and cool.He even took some time off from his job to come hang out with me tonight at my house."
He responds,still with a lovestruck face.
"What's his name?"
Roy asks,evesdropping.
"His name is Robert,and he's a fox.His fur is so smooth and warm.It's like cuddling with a burgendy cloud that justs wips me away as he holds me."
Michael says.Shaun nearly gags,being the jerk that he is.
"Alright Michael,geez.You're making me lose my appetite bragging about your boy toy."
He says.Roy nudges him on the shoulder.
"Come on dude,can't you see the guy's lovestruck?"
He says as he grins at him.The pizza parlor was'nt very far.It was close to a 7 minute drive.Like always,Clarus started to doze off.He was dreaming.He saw him and his friends on a stand in front of a crowd.They were all cheering,screaming.
"BONE LIE!! BONE LIE!!! BONE LIE!!!"
The crowd continues to chant.Then there was a gunshot in the middle of the crowd,and everyone despersed.There was mass panic everywhere,and Clarus and his friends ran.They abandoned thier instruments and headed to Shaun's car quickly.Shaun got the car startred and he darted off.As they were leaving,they heard a shout from a distance.
"Get out of here!!! We don't want you people here anymore!!"
The voice shouts.There was faint voice,calling Clarus' name.
"Clarus.Clarus! Hey Clarus!!"
Shaun says,shaking him.
"We're here man,get up."
He says as he gets out the car.Everyone else was gone,and Clarus realizes that he was the only one who was asleep in the seat.The wolf's black fur was sweating a little,and he grasped his face with his paw again.
"What the hell is going on with me lately.What's with all these dreams,and visions I'm having?"
He says as he gets out the car.He goes into the pizza parlor where all of his friends were waiting.They were at a table,and Roy waves at him at a distance.Clarus gets to the table,and was a bit uncomfortable.
"Clarus,you o.k? You look worried."
Michael says.Kim was staring at him,wondering the same thing.
"Yeah,you don't look as excited as you were a while ago."
Roy says.Clarus looks up and sighs.
"No it's nothing.Just a bad dream,that's all."
He responds.
"Bad dream?"
Kim says.Clarus nodds,then grins.
"Heh.I'm not gonna worry about it.I'm here with my friends,eating pizza and we're gonna kick some ass at the theater tomorrow."
Clarus declares.Everyone smiles at him.Shaun comes over with 4 boxes of hot,fresh pizza that he recived from the front desk.They all immediately chow down on the slices that were prepared for them.The entire parlor was empty,and they had it all to themselves.They did'nt quite get why,but they were'nt complaining.Kim breaks the silence of them eating.
"Hey,did you guys hear of that meerkat that was beaten to death this morning?"
He asks.Clarus stopped chewing and saddens at his question.Roy nodds,but Michael was confused.Shaun was intuiged and wanted to listen in.
"I heard.Some thuggs did it.He was a meerkat named Charles Fratman.Clarus weren't you and him friends before?"
Roy asks.Clarus nodds,then continues to chew in a depressed state.
"Why? Why would they do something like that?"
Michael demanded.Clarus knew the answer,but did'nt have the heart to tell him.He just found a new boyfriend.That would put him in such paranoya.
Roy and Kim shrug their shoulders.
"No one knows why.We just heard that it happened.'
Kim says.Shaun gobbles down his 3rd slice of pizza.
"Man,the whole world's going down the fucking drain,excuse my language.But that's brutal man."
Shaun says in a shocked state.
"Maybe this world is dying slowly,but we still got stuff to do.Let's not think like that Shaun.At least for the time being."
Clarus says.Everyone nodds and agrees.Kim smiles at him in approvement.
"You're growung each time I see you,Clarus."
He says.Again,the black wolf blushes with no one seeing.He grins.
"Well.I'm 18.I better have grown."
He says with a smirk.They all finished their pizza and headed to the car.With thier furry bellies full,they headed back to Roy's place.This time,Clarus tried hard not to sleep,feeling that it might trigger another bad dream.He frowns as he stares at the passing road.
"I've gotta stop having these dreams.These thoughts.What's wrong with me?"
He questions,still staring out the window.
