Hi, my name is Alexis, I'm 20 years old and I'm originally from Ontario Canada. Both of my parents are Japanese but, they immigrated to Canada before Mum found out she was pregnant with me. Despite being both Japanese and Canadian, I loved living in Ontario and all my best friends were there too. I was a part of a band, we got a lot of gigs and we used to perform back in our old school before we graduated two years ago.

The band was known as The Pheonix and the band members were, John the lead guitarist, Lizzy the drummer, Jessie the bass player and there was me, the lead singer and rhythmic and acoustic guitarist.

However, my perfect life was about to come crashing down when I learnt the news that we were moving back to Kyoto, my parents' original hometown and to top it off, something unexpected was about to happen to me the moment I moved back to Japan.

Three months earlier...

ALEXIS'S POV

Tonight was our big night and I was excited to sing again. I stood in front of the microphone and I said to our bandmates.

"Ready?"

"Always!"

Lizzy said with a grin on her face. Once the curtain rose we played our introduction to one of our songs.

"Hey, guys! we're the Phoenixes and we're gonna rock the house down!!"

The crowd cheered for us and then we began to play.

In my hand is the gun I hold and I am locked and loaded
Coming for you
I'm heading out running as fast as I can

And even now I see that you're shaking too

(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
It screams hurry or else to my racing heart
(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
And it keeps going and going no end in sight

Trapped in a room that has never been warm
I stretch out my hand frozen cold to the core
My path has been blocked like I'm locked up to die
Can no-one hear me from the outside

(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
And when it stops we will meet the start of the end
(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
It's all been leading to this

I'm frozen no words to speak
All I can do is laugh to cope with the grief
I'm frozen no words to speak
All I can do is cry, the joy breaking me

Trapped in a room that has never been warm
I stretch out my hand frozen cold to the core
My path has been blocked like I'm locked up to die
Can no-one hear me from the outside

(Tick tock tick tock start)
These days full of deceiving lies
(Tick tock tick tock start)
The world keeps leaving me behind
(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
The sound alone is haunting me
(Tick tock I hear a tick-tock start)
It's all been leading to this

I'm frozen no words to speak
There's not a sound within this cold empty room
I'm frozen no words to speak
But someone breaks the door to my disbelief
I'm frozen no words to speak
There's not a sound within this cold empty room
I'm frozen no words to speak
But there is nothing I fear
No, not anymore

Once again I take aim at the end
And I fire breaking down every door standing in my way
Stray bullets fly, the gun recoils
As I cut my way through the me of yesterday
I'll let the darkness live on inside me
But I'll say goodnight to the past as I walk away
Soon under the stars, we will meet again
