A one shot based on the song of the same name from Love Never Dies.

Play the song  when I say. Or Don't. I don't control what you do.

 Mikey and Roland approached the house late that evening. The man they had been stalking had finally given them a chance to make their move. Tonight, he would be theirs.

"Are you sure about this, my Lady?" Roland asks, "I hear he's quite suspicious about people like us." Roland was a young man, with black hair just above his shoulders, pale skin, and bright red eyes. He wore black pants, shoes, and dress shirt with a red tie.

"I am more than confident, Roland." Mikey responds, "I'll have him right where I want him. He'll have no choice." She was also pale with red eyes and black hair styled in an elegant bun. She wore a black and red dress that had a slightly victorian style.

She then knocks on the door, where a man opens it. He was tall, with brown hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a simple white dress shirt, black pants, and a black vest.

"Can I help you?" He asks.

"I'm very sorry to disturb you, but we are in need of some help." Mikey says, "Our home was recently attacked by vampires, and we were the only ones to escape. If we could at least contact our friends a few towns over, we will be on our way."

"Of course," The man says, stepping aside to let them in. "Do you two have names?"

"My name is Mikey, and this is Roland." Mikey responds. "Roland, could you get in touch with our friends?"

"Yes, my Lady." Roland replies, leaving the room.

"So, do you have a name?" Mikey asks.

"Jackson." The man replies, studying Mikey carefully, "They call me Jackson."

Mikey doesn't respond, and instead looks around the main room. There were paintings on most of the walls, and a large, elegant piano.

"Are you an artist, Jackson?" She asks, approaching the piano.

"I am. Painted all of these myself." Jackson responds, gesturing to the paintings. "The music, however, is relatively new to me. I haven't quite figured out a good song. Only parts of it have come to me."

"Would it be alright if I play something? Maybe I can help." Mikey asks.

"Go ahead." Jackson says, as Mikey plays the same notes he had during the time he had been stalked. "Where have you heard that?" He asked.

"I don't know." Mikey responds innocently, "Just something I thought of."

~Play song now~

"Play it again." Jackson says, and Mikey does so.

Bold: Jackson sings

Italic: Mikey sings

Both: Both sing

"She? How can it be? She hears the music?"

"You, you hear it, too? You hear the music?"

"Can you sing?" Jackson asks, and Mikey does so, jumping up 2 or 3 octaves before hitting an operatic note.

Have You Ever Yearned To Go

Past The World You Think You Know?

Been In Thrall

To The Call

Of The Beauty Underneath?

Have You Let It Draw You In,

Past The Place Where Dreams Begin?

Felt The Full

Breathless Pull

Of The Beauty Underneath?

Jackson then began to circle Mikey, almost like it was a dance.

Can you taste it?

Have you heard it's music and embraced it?

Do you crave the visions that it shows you?

Do you wonder why it chose you?

Like it knows you, knows you have a darkness running through you?

If you're not afraid I'll show it to you.

He then extends his hand, which Mikey takes.

You don't fear the darkness, do you?

Jackson then leads Mikey to the center of the room, where they start to dance.

Have you felt yourself beguiled by the dangerous and wild?

And been hooked as you looked at the beauty underneath

Have you felt your senses surge?

And surrendered to the urge?

Tell me you know it too, know the beauty underneath

If it's in you

In your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew

If it doesn't frighten you and shake you

There are places I can take you

I can taste it

I have heard the music and embraced it

Even with the wonders that you've shown me

It's as if she's always known me

Jackson then spun Mikey away from him, watching her as she danced around on her own.

It's all so beautiful

So strange yet beautiful

Everything just as they say

And she's so beautiful

Perhaps too beautiful

What I suspect can not be

Still she seems like she's for me

I can't look away!

Jackson then approached Mikey, and the two resumed dancing together.

Can you taste it?

You have seen the darkness and embraced it?

Don't you crave the visions that it shows you?

Don't you wish that it had chose you?

Why, it knows us

Knows our skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew

Those are things I recognize within you

Are you willing to continue?

But it knows you

Knows your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew

Knows you have no beauty deep within you

Knows the madness can't continue

Jackson then turns Mikey to face him, stopping their dance.

"Then you're ready?" He asks.

"Yes." Mikey responds.

"Come closer." He says seductively.

"Yes!" She responds excitedly.

"You've no fear of the beauty underneath." Jackson says, "You can face it?"

"Yes."

"You can take it?"

"Yes!"

"You see through to the beauty underneath."

Mikey then became more serious and shifted the power in her favor. Now, she had control over him as she used her power of compulsion on him.

"To the splendor?" She asks

"The splendor." Jackson responds, seemingly in a trance.

"And the glory?" Mikey asks.

"The glory." Jackson responds

"To the truth of the beauty underneath? You'll accept it?"

"Yes!"

"You'll embrace it?"

"Yes!"

"Let me show you the beauty underneath. All the splendor." Mikey says, now pulling him closer.

"The splendor!"

"And the glory!"

"The glory!"

"Of the truth of the beauty underneath! You'll accept it?"

"Yes!"

"You'll embrace it?"

"Yes!"

"Let me show you the beauty under-" She cut herself off as she suddenly bit into Jackson's neck.

He let out a loud scream as she did so, and was roughly shoved back as Mikey wiped the blood off her mouth.

"You- You're the vampire." He says, terrified for his life.

"Soon, you will be one, too." Mikey replies, biting into her wrist and feeding Jackson her blood. "Welcome to Century Coven." She whispers in his ear before snapping his neck. "Roland!"

"Yes, my Lady?" Roland asks, entering the room.

"Have you notified the coven?" Mikey asks.

"I have." Roland replies.

"Good. Now clean this mess. We leave as soon as Jackson wakes up."
