Phantasmagoria

"Y/n, are you ready?" The manager knocked as they opened the door, she looked around trying to find you but her search came empty

"I'm here..." Your calming voice sent a chill down your manager's body, who jumped when you apparated behind her. 

"You scared the devil out of me!" She clutched her heart, no matter how many times you come behind her she always got scared.

"What do you need Carmilla?"

"We're next on stage, seriously you need to pay more attention!" She scolded you through a smile, "After that, you have a meet and greet with our fans."

"Right."

You left the changing room and walked through the desolate halls that led you to the stage. You walk up covered in darkness and tap the mic, all eyes on you as you hold your signature doll-like pose.

"Hello my fellow creatures of the night, thank you for your continued support."

Most people outside of the scene would deem you as cold or emotionless due to the way you act, however your fans would push those remarks by stating otherwise. Unlike other idols, you took time out of your busy schedule to meet with them online or after venues.

"Shall we open pandora's box?" 

Without missing a beat your fans screamed in agreement at your question. You saw how glow sticks began to light up when the music began.

"Thank you for coming." You shake hands robotically with your fan before they leave. Not a second later another fan comes to your table, this time its a girl with a bang covering her eye.

"H-he-hel-" The girl stutters under your listless eyes, you try to soften your features to make her more at ease. "Hello!" She managed to say before placing her poster on the table.

"Would you like me to sign it?" You ask looking at the poster, the girl nods, "What your name?"

"Actually it's for my brother..." She mumbles quickly, she apologizes once again as she tells you her brother's name.

"Anything else?" You ask before scribbling a comment on the poster and signing your name.

"How much for a picture?"

"2 Euros." The girl's question was aimed at you but Carmilla answered in your stead, she always made sure you kept appearances when it came to fans.

"Then I'd like for a picture." The girl handed Carmilla her money, though it was odd that she didn't move closer to you.

"Aren't you going to stand next to the Maiden?" Carmilla gestured to you as you looked at the camera, most people that asked for a photo often did so so they could get closer to you.

"Could it be that you plan on giving the picture to your brother?" Your mouth moves but your eyes are focused on the polaroid camera Carmilla holds.

"Yes..." The girl mumbles.

"Manager, let us proceed with the photo."

You hold still, giving the camera the smallest Mona Lisa smile, the quick click of the polaroid, and subsequent release of the photo make you look at the girl as your manager hands her the photo.

"Thank you." The girl tells you as she looks at the photo.

"Please come again to our venue." You give your automated response and watched the girl leave. "Greetings..." Your voice once again returns to greet another fan, and the process repeated itself once more.

"Looks like our show was a success!" Carmilla states as she crashes on the living room sofa.

"Sure was!" You lay on the adjacent sofa as you look at your sister, she always made sure that she was Carmilla the sister anywhere but when you adopted your idol persona. You checked your phone and scrolled through your webpage, most of the posts were about tonight's show and you commented on the newer posts as much as you could.

"I forgot to tell you, y'know that Chamack woman?" Your sister asks as she sits up to search for something in her room.

"Don't care." You stated as matter-in-factly, you had other things than listening to the TV.

"She wants an interview with the Phantom Maiden!"

"Cancel her requests, I rather have an interview with my fans than with a woman who only cares for ratings."

"I'll do so in the morning, let's see what other requests you have..."

You looked at the way Carmilla read the many emails she had on her inbox, she did all the work while you just did your part of looking like a living doll at the venues. Though she did let you respond to fanmail or other forms of interactions, in a sense you felt glad she relied on your help for that task. Other than that, you did most housework when you could to let her rest when she hid in her room to create new wardrobes for you to wear.

"I was thinking about adding our name to the Parisian music festival." You state as you make dinner for the two of you.

"How come?"

"Just for fun, the fans also asked if they could vote for me so I could get a special stage just for me."

"I'll look into it, in the meantime make a poll on your fansite."

You set down the food in front of your sister, she eats between her work leaving you to turn on the TV to see if anything catches your eye. The TV had their usual reruns, did they not have other shows to put during the night?

"Holy shit!" Your sister's shriek made you turn and look at her, something must've happened to cause her to look between you and her computer.

"What is it?"

"Gabriel Agreste cited my design as one of his inspirations for his new line!"

"It would be better if he paid you to be his lead designer," You looked at her computer and read the article, "I still like your designs better than his, plus they're more sustainable than his fast fashion."

"You have a funny way of saying congratulations."

"Why are you booing me if I'm right?"

"Yeah, yeah, now head to sleep."

She ruffled your hair before she got up and headed to her room. You never understood how she did it to get up early, then again you were a night owl and not an early riser.

"Night Carmilla."

"Night Y/n."

You closed your bedroom door and got ready to sleep, even if the birds outside got ready to start a brand new day.
