Zoe is your average high school girl, who loves music, especially rock and metal. She was really excited as she got out of bed smiling as she looked at her calendar "Today is the day" she said to herself ticking off the date with her note attached. A band at school had recently lost their lead guitarist, and had put posters and notes up all around school letting students know of auditions to join the band. Zoe had her heart set on joining, she practiced every day to fine tune her skill. After her morning routine of getting washed she packed her bag and her guitar, kissing her mum goodbye as she left for school.
The halls were packed with people talking to one another, Casey, Zoe's best friend ran up to her excited "Oh wow you're actually going to try out?" Pulling her lucky pick from her jacket pocket Zoe smiled "I've practiced forever for this moment... I'm ready for this" both girls walked to their class giggling.
After school was done Zoe made her way to the audition. Greg, the lead singer was sat on chair facing the front of the music class with Lewis the drummer and Karl the bassist behind him. Zoe was a little shocked to only see two other people auditioning "This will be easy" she thought to herself. Greg motioned Zoe to set up and play "The other two have played. Let's see what you've got" he said with arrogance.
Zoe played her heart out, her favourite rock ballad riffs. Greg was clearly unimpressed "I was expecting something a little more........ Heavier. Sorry but we won't be needing you" he said as the rest of the band laughed.
Feeling destroyed Zoe packed up and ran out of the school stopping on the nearby bridge. Tears in her eyes she lay her head on her folded arms overlooking the river "Not heavy enough! How heavy do they want to be? I played the best riffs" sniffing, something caught her eye by the river bank. Climbing down to investigate, she unearthed what could only be a guitar. But it was strange, ebon finish that felt cold and seemed to draw light in, blood red strings and strange runic carvings along the fret board.
