Electric Knight.....
(I do not own this pic or the music, I do own the cover page. I made it online)
Electric's pov
My name is Electric Knight, I know weird, but even though it's weird I love it. Anyway welcome to my world, a sound proof basement, only one way of course, a laptop, and a house with a step-father and 3 step-brothers. Amazing right? Well my step-family hates me, when I was a kid my father died due to a heart disease. A couple years ago my mom married this man with three sons so I would have company and a father figure. Soon after my mother died in a car wreck. And because before my mother died I was her little precious one and because I am bisexual my step-family now hates me. Good thing is that I love cleaning otherwise I would be bored. I also listen to content on some channels.
Oh speaking of channels, at this time there is this thing called MusicFlames. Everyone has an account on it. It allows you to publish your own music that you make. Best part for me at least is the fact that you can make them completely anonymous. My step-family doesn't know I have an account on it, they all think I am a nobody who can't sing, however I am the one going to a secret elite school for musicians. Anyway they didn't even buy me any of my things. They bought my bed and that's it. The sound proof room was already build and my friend Caleb bought me the laptop and also my phone. Back to MusicFlames, at a certain point you can get money for your work, most people do it for that or the popularity for me I do it simply to let others enjoy the work I have done. Anyway I come up with my songs and Caleb helps me record them. I don't know what I would do without him. He is the only reason why I can do the thing I love.
Anyway as usual my step father gives me a stack of things to do as he and my step brothers go shopping for this party. Speaking of party I want to go but I can't because of them. It's masquerade party and it is supposed to have a concert by the top singer on MusicFlames. They also allow anyone to perform onstage afterwards and there is supposed to be some big time producers there. I think I need Caleb here so we can figure something out. This is my one opportunity to get away permanently. Caleb knows they are going shopping so he should be coming over to both help and discuss things. They leave soon after.
I hear the bell ring after a while and I answer it. I hurry Caleb in and we immediately start cleaning. I say,"So..... about that party..." Caleb interrupts me,"You want to go for once?" I nod and he gets excited. We clean faster and as we do he rambles,"Thank god. I have been trying so hard to get you to go to a party with me forever! Course it being something big musically I should've expected it. We are going to discuss this." I just nod and clean. After we clean the floors, the bathrooms, all of the rooms, and more we finally finish and just as we get into my area they come home. Luckily there is a hidden window in my room so he can leave that way.
Caleb says,"You are going to let me do everything for you. As you know I have the perfect style choices." I nod because it's true. He picks out all of my outfits which are actually at his house so I always go to his house before school. He continues,"Now as to how you are getting there text me about five minutes after they leave and I will come by with your suit and mask. We are going to have to temporarily dye your red tips black though otherwise they will notice it's you. After I get here we are going to get you dressed and everything and then we are going to go to the part and rock it. Since your family should return around one am we need to head back at about 12." I reply,"Perfect. Thank you so much. It is so great that he is going on a trip for a month today. I can't wait until tomorrow. Anyway after I cook them dinner we are going to record another song. I have another one." He nods and I run upstairs and cook the four dinner. I serve them and run back downstairs before they can find fault. We quickly set up for recording after I shut the door and I get ready. After doing my warm ups I grab the mike and nod at Caleb to start recording. I start playing and eventually sing,
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care
What I'm feeling?
I wanna disappear
So nobody can hear
Me when I'm screamin'
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human [3x]
The night is bitter cold
I wonder if you know
That I'm sleepless
Waitin' like a ghost
When I need you the most
I go unnoticed
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human [2x]
The weight of the world is pullin' me down
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
I'm the only one left alone on this Earth
Singin' this song but can't find the words
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
(Pretend he made it, it's really the song above)
We finish recording and after doing a couple more things to it I upload it under my account LonelySinger. I have no information on it, also Caleb helped me hide any way for others to track my account. All there is on my profile is my music which I make up myself. Most of it reflects my mood of when I made it. I actually have another one ready to record but it is going to school for a project, we are each to make one and I managed to convince my teachers and everyone in the staff to keep my identity as LonelySinger a secret. As of right now I am rank 354. I don't really care it's just a way to show popularity. I use it to tell if people like my content or if I should change it up. I will check my comments on the music after school before we leave to go to the party. I clean the dishes after Caleb leaves as well as everything we used. I go to sleep in my bed afterwards.
The next day
I get up and get into the uniform Caleb managed to get me of the local crappy school, we are using it to hide the real uniform which I will get at his house. I make breakfast for the step siblings and grab a muffin from the table and head to Caleb's house. Once I arrive Caleb lets me in and I exchange my uniforms. His parents just assume we only walk to school together. We go to school where we quickly record the other song for class and put it on a flash drive. We go to our first class and we sit down. Our schedule is fairly alike. Most students' are. The school has regular day and then we have music days. Our regular days are like any high schools but faster and our music days are the fun ones. They alternate, today is a music day. We have composition, singing, instrumental, recording, and more. I love these days. When we get to our main music class I hand my flash drive to the teacher and everyone else records as I come up with more songs.
After school we rush home and I change in his room and then I say goodbye and go home. I make snacks for the boys and then I go into my room after calling the boys down for their "all healthy but yummy treats" are their words that they use for what they want. I check up on my views and everything. Whoa. My rating has gone from 354 to 183. Unbelievable. I call Caleb and we discuss this. I look onto my video comments from the latest one and am in awe as I see over 10k view and over 9k likes. I notice that in the comments people mention how they loved it and would like another one like it or how they enjoyed it but would like a happier one, hmm I will need Caleb's help one that one but I will do both for my viewers. At about five pm they leave and five minutes later I text Caleb. He comes over with everything. We first use the temporary dye that will wash out after a shower which I will take when I get home. After that is done he hands me my suit and I get changed. After I am changed I put on the mask and he messes with my hair a little. After I am done we hop into his car and leave.
(What he is wearing)
Once at the party we are noticed immediately and I kinda hide behind Caleb. I know that they don't know it's me but still. Oh wait, my step sisters can tell by that. I take a deep breath and separate from Caleb and go sign up to perform after the star. I can't believe I am performing after the famous Eric Flame. Nobody else has signed up yet. I sign up as LonelySinger and I dance with a couple people before I go out into the garden for a breath of fresh air. A couple minutes later I notice another guy come out. He resembles Eric Flame but what would I know? He approaches me and asks,"Get tired of the people in there?" I answer,"No I am just not used to being out with so many people in one room." He questions,"Did you come here just to see Eric's concert?" I shake my head and say,"I love his old work, before the people who massacred the music and turned it into songs about sex and drugs. I used to be able to feel the heart and soul put into them but now I can't even listen to it. I know many others would listen as well if it weren't for the new songs.
"Honestly I wish that he went back to his old work. Hell I jumped about two hundred spots with my music all by me. But oh well. I came here because my friend asked me to. Also he mentioned the opportunity after Eric's concert." I smile under the mask remembering his old work. He asks,"What is your MusicFlames account?" I chuckle and answer,"It's LonelySinger. All my music, all my way." I sigh a little and he says,"I love your music. I do wish you would have a chance to feel happy at times but it doesn't matter." I shrug and he continues,"Well I need to go back in, want to come with?" I nod and follow him inside. We dance a while and then he disappears and a little later they announce that the concert is going to begin but there is a slight change to the music choice. The guy from earlier comes out and I freak out in my head. Crap I insulted his new music in his face. He says into the microphone,"Hey guys thanks for coming out. Now originally I was going to do a concert with music laid out for me but some words from someone out there made me realize that I don't want to do this type anymore." He starts singing new material that is like his old music. Wow I can't believe he changed because I mentioned that. After each song you can tell that they were all loving his new material.
After his concert he says,"So guys, if you loved that thank LonelySinger on MusicFlames, he gave me some words that made me realize that I wanna do my music my way. If you don't then sorry and if I hear you guys got after LonelySinger for his words I will be very mad at you. Anyway special surprise but addressing the special afterwards we agreed that it is actually going to become a competition. The winner is going to get to do a duet with me and depending on how good they are they might get extra. Well I know that the announcer is supposed to do this but I love this person's singing so I am going to announce them. Welcome LonelySinger to the stage." I take a deep breath and walk up to the stage. I have something prepared for this. I just hope they like it. I say into the mic,"This is something new just for you guys."
