Chapter 5 - The Black Phoenix

The big day finally arrived, the judges were looking smoking hot as usual and the girls couldn't help but throw themselves at them ....the security finally managed to calm everyone and clear the way for them ...

The crowd was over 500 000 people it could have been more but that is all the building could accommodate...

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome and thank you for being here for the big night of THE VOICE, I'm your host Nico Maraj and these are your judges the JALD and tonight our guest judge is Miss Olivia Kunene all the way from South Africa" the host said and the crowd clapped and cheered as the judges took their respective seats.This Miss Kunene was beautiful with bald head and sparkling earrings with no makeup , she is a super natural.

"Now let's hear an important announcement from Mr Dave himself the leader and founder of THE VOICE ...please dear contestants listen carefully to what he has to say because it affects you all directly.

"oh thank you Nico so today the winner of this competition will get a brand new Lamborghini, a million dollars and will also join get the privilege of joining our band and that means he will get to live at the JALD mansion with us , with that being said I wanna tell you that you need to bring out your A game bring your all because we only need the best of the best thank you and good luck"

After Dave's speech everyone was nervous the crowd and the contestants too . Time passed and the judges rejected so many contestants some were shaking and finally it was time for Bella and Anna. They looked beautiful and dressed to kill .

On getting to the stage they introduced themselves probably hoping to get the special treatment since they mentioned how rich their father was.

Anna took the guitar and played Lina's song the , one they stole... The sound of the guitar was good bringing people's attention to them .

But unfortunately when they had to sing , their voices were out of tune , they couldn't go along with the sound ...well it is true what they say about Karma...

They were also rejected and left the stage crying but when they got to their seats , they couldn't find Cardi and Lina, they didn't care to stay and see someone else win what was meant for them so they left early ...

"What a terrific night ladies and gentlemen, the competition is over and the judges still haven't found what they are looking for , I'm sorry to say this but we have to try again next w...,"

The host was interrupted by a security who whispered something to him and he nodded...

"Well , it looks like we have someone from the crowd who volunteered to close this night for us , ladies and gentlemen let's welcome him or her on stage "

Dave

I was tired and almost giving up but when Nico announced the volunteer I sat back on my seat with hope of getting someone better but unfortunately it was a girl ... We don't need a girl in our band and I'm sure she can't be that good but we had to give her a chance like others.

She was dressed in black and had a red mask on her face with blue hair which reminded me of the girl I saw at night that day ...

"Okay who are you and what do you have for us tonight."

"I can't say my real name but you can call me the Phoenix, and I'm here to win" she said boldly and the crowd cheered for her,

"Okay Bold Phoenix, the stage is yours " I said and laid back for the last disappointment of the night

I was nervous from being Infront of everyone but I had to do it for my freedom, I had to do it for my mother...

I am here to claim myself back ...

"We're waiting" Dave said and I could tell he was annoyed and tired.

I sat Infront of the piano

, it's been long since I played this , I hope I'm still good...

I took a deep breath , cleared my voice and started to sing.

"Sometimes I feel "

"I'm failing you"

"For being stupid"

"You deserve a better daughter"

"I'm sorry I haven't been one"

"Each that passes"

"I'm dreaming of you"

"You were the best parents"

"Continue to rest in peace"

"Hold my hand"

"I believe in you"

"Although the Lord hates me"

"I'm sure he can make you happy"

"Rest in peace..."

I sang this with my eyes closed and tears down my cheeks, I couldn't continue as I laid my head on the piano crying my sorrow to the world.

The crowd was in tears and before I could catch my breath, I was announced the winner ...

"Are you okay now" Miss Kunene asked hugging me tight .

"Yeah , I'm sorry I was a little emotional next time I'll try a happy song"

"No need to apologize, you won this for being yourself so you should be proud" she said

"So Dave you owe me" miss Kunene said going back to her seat while I remained on stage.

"Well I was convinced that the next person to join the JALD would be a man but I'm not regretting our decision for tonight, Miss Phoenix is who we need in this , she has the voice , the tune and flow we need although she made a lot of us emotional today , but really I'm happy that we found her or she found us , so now it's time to show us who you really are , it's time to show us your face " Dave said and the crowd cheered

Oh no! I didn't prepare for this in advance, what am I going to do...

"Come on Phoenix "

Nico said

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble everyone but I'd like it I remained a stranger for now but I promise with time you'll get to see my face, I don't think I'm ready for the camera flashes and all that , I just wanna be a regular girl doing regular things so I'm sorry "

"No ! Don't apologize I totally get it , sometimes being a celebrity sucks because everywhere you go there's someone looking at what you do and how you do it , you don't get privacy anymore so I like you for being the regular girl and we respect your decision " Miss Kunene said

"So who are you with tonight, what inspired you to write such an emotional song"

"Oh I'm with my friend,the song is about my parents how I miss them , their love , their guidance and everything but unfortunately they're not here with me"

"I'm sure they must be proud of the woman you've become" Andrew said
