Unholy Nightmare

It's been a little over 2 months since I was officially accepted into the family. The days and nights have grown colder but that's understandable considering that Christmas is just 4 short days away. Mylo is hoping there will be snow but I can honestly say that I don't agree with her. I hate the cold and I definitely hate the snow. Anyways, for the past 2 weeks, we've went into town to find something for each other but I just couldn't seem to find anything. Then on the way back to our compound, a thought popped into my mind. I have a lot of things that I've kept secret and what better way to give them a gift than to surprise them with something very unexpected.

Ever since the thought had come to me, I immediately got to work on my surprise. To keep the others from spoiling it, I locked the doors that led to the large room where the bedrooms were built but that didn't stop them from asking me about what I was doing. I wasn't going to spill anything about the surprise. I wrote individual letters to everyone that explained what I wanted them to do. As a teaser, I was making them go on a sort of scavenger hunt but instead of keeping he items until you found them all. You had to bring one item at a time. Personally, I love how they're going to be running around trying to find all of the items I've hidden. I'm going to have them do it on Christmas Eve and when they are finished, I'll post a note inside the kitchen area and that's when they'll be seeing the surprise.

Today is Christmas Eve night and the guys had gotten my mysterious notes and now it's only a few minutes before midnight and I'm doing some last minute preparation. I checked the clock once I was done and I sat down in a chair next to one of Brian's guitar stands. The clock chimed signifying that Christmas Day had arrived and now to have the guests to arrive. As if on cue, they came into the room and seen the job I had done.

"If you all could have a seat please." I said smiling and they all sat down in the chairs I had placed in front of me.

"I figured since we've been having a tough time with the flesh eaters coming around more and more...we need some relaxation. I also want to show my appreciation to you guys for letting me into the family and give you all something you would have never guessed."

"You don't have to repay us for that." Zacky said truthfully.

"I know Zacky but I want to. I should have done this months ago but our days have been quite hectic."

"What was this scavenger hunt all about? I mean it was fun as hell and I can only imagine what you have planned now." Johnny commented.

"Suck up."

"Fuck off string bean." He said to Jimmy.

"Alright you two. Please continue Violet."

"Thanks Matt. Anyways, there are two things that no one knows about me...well except for Otis." I said as I lit up one of the cigarettes I hadn't finished today.

"What's that?" I didn't say a word except I took Brian's acoustic guitar in hand and strummed a few simple notes.

"Maybe listening will tell you what I mean." I said and I plucked the strings to a song by Staind. It had been one of the many songs I could play but what I did next caught them off guard.

"Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause I can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Matt's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow. That's the only word that comes to mind when Violet started singing and strumming Epiphany by Staind. Her voice was just completely and utterly amazing and Brian couldn't take his eyes off of his guitar. I think he was falling more for her guitar skills than anything else. When she finished her song no one said a word. How could we say anything? We were absolutely astonished.

"Where did you learn to play like that?" Brian asked breaking the silence.

"Otis had taught me a few things and I learned how to sing on my own."

"That was simply amazing! You're just full of surprises aren't you?" Jimmy said with a huge smile on his face. Jimmy egged her on about doing more songs and she complied. After about 6 or 7 more songs, we called it a night. I was so happy that she was smiling or once. I don't ever want that smile to go away and I never want her to be sad...ever.
