Business was slow at Forks Family Diner lately, so the owners decided to have a karaoke night. It worked, it brought people in and got them to sit and eat and enjoy the good food and listen to music. Some people totally butchered the songs they chose and the hybrid found himself wincing at those performances but sometimes people did a surprisingly good job. Xavier had ordered himself a hamburger, fries, a strawberry milkshake and a side salad. The hybrid ate his food, listening to the music. He was wearing an outfit of his own design. People complimented him on his fashion and he smiled at them as he sat and ate.
He didn't speak much, he was just thinking about what he'd sing when it was his turn. He was going to dominate the competition and win that trophy he could see. It was a silly thing really, but he wanted to win. It was his vanity really, wanting to be the best. And knowing he was. Finally, his name was called. He'd planned it perfectly, Xavier had just finished the last of his shake when his turn came up. He stood and approached the stage, with all the grace and precision of a human vampire hybrid. He walked onto the stage and took the microphone in his hand.
"My name is Xavier Miles. Ladies and gentleman, prepare yourselves for the performance of your lives." with that, he began to sing and his high voice made it perfect for the song he'd selected. The entire diner went silent. They listened with rapt attention from the first few notes. He sang sweetly with emotion and raw power in his voice. What no one but Xavier knew, was that the song he was singing was not on the line up for that night. He was using his ability to create music from his own mind. What they didn't know would hurt them. He didn't think anyone would notice anyway, it seemed to be coming from the speakers just like the other songs. He stood there and sang his heart out, emotion on his face and tears in his eyes at one point, but his voice never faltered, never wavered. He was a performer at heart and no matter what, the show had to go on. As the final notes of the song died, he bowed and smiled, then drew his hands under his eyes and jumped off stage.
He sat back down with a smile, he'd killed it. He knew it. He was somewhat sad now, but also ......happy. He ordered himself some tea and then noticed someone observing him and looked up. "Yes?"
