This is what Heaven looks like but has sky blue eyes and wears a light blue dress but the top stays the same. She also sounds like Zendaya.

Heaven's POV-

        
        I walked down the street towards the Rare bird though the fog because tonight was my starring night as a singer there. I tightened my grip on my huge, light blue scarf that hung loosely around my neck to keep my hands from shaking. I never sang in front of people. Just my good friends Lucille, Emile, and Roual. They were the ones I was most comfortable with and they helped me relax. But Lucille's aunt found me singing a small melody one day and she got me a job at the Rare bird. I was petrified of tonight. But the good news was that Lucille was singing with me. At least she'll be there. I made it inside the theater and I walked over to Lucille's dressing room and knocked on the door. She immediately answered.

"Heaven! You made it!" She said before she allowed me inside the dressing room.

I smiled nervously yet kindly and I sat down on the couch, unwrapping my scarf and she smiled, knowing that I was nervous about the show. She walked over to the dressing curtain and saw her look at something.

"Maybe this might help with your pre-show jitters" Lucille said before pushing a dress post with a absolutely beautiful dress on it.

It was white at the bottom with gold fabric lining and a golden belt. The top was a light blue, just like my scarf that had see-through fabric that was a darker blue that went to the wrists and revealed the front of the neck. A white choker with a silver heart with a music note inside it attached was on the neck. A gold bow hairband was on the head. Then she held up a bottle of twilight mist perfume, my favorite type of perfume that I haven't been able to find in a long time.

"Lucille...merci!" I told her, hugging her.

"I knew you'd love it" she said before I grabbed my dress and went behind the dressing curtain.

I quickly changed into my new dress and carefully placed the hairband on my head and slipped on my white heels. Slowly, I walked over to the mirror and saw that I looked incredible.

"Mademoiselle Heaven, you look like an angel" Lucille told me, helping me get on my gold and white angel wings.

"No I don't" I replied shyly.

"Yes you do, you can't deny it Heaven" Lucille told me before backing up a little bit.

Before I could say something, the house lights dimmed and I felt my heart plummeted into my stomach.

"That's our cue, just relax" Lucille said before walking towards the stage.

I took a deep breath then joined her on the stage. I felt like I was going to faint but I kept myself from doing that. The music started and the curtains opened, revealing a full house of people in their seats. Lucille started singing.

Lucille- She's resplendent. so confident. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine.

I took a deep breath before singing.

Heaven- I realized. I'm hypnotized. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine.

Lucille- I hear the moon. Singing a tune. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine.

Heaven- is she divine? Is it the wine? La Seine, La Seine, La Seine.

Both- I don't know, don't know. But don't ask me why. That's how we are. La Seine and I. I don't know, don't know. But don't ask me why. That's how we are. La Seine and I. I don't know, don't know. But don't ask me why. That's how we are. La Seine and I.

We both bowed at the roaring crowd and I saw Lucille's aunt motioning her to smile at the (in my eyes, Self assorted) commissioner. I slightly rolled my eyes before me and Lucille backed up as the curtains closed. I took deep breaths and smiled at my accomplishment for not fainting during the show.

"You did amazing, Heaven!" She told me before giving me a hug.

I giggled nervously before we went back to her dressing room and I changed back into my day dress and placing my outfit on the dress post. Then Lucille's aunt walked into the room with a huge bouquet of flowers and a letter.

"Not interested" Lucille told her.

"Everybody needs somebody, even you and Heaven" she replied.

"Tell Albert that I'm not interested!" I quickly told her.

Albert was a waiter at the Rare bird and has a huge crush on me. But I find him very difficult, annoying, and is very much not my type. Though I keep telling him that I don't want to be with him, he keeps pushing me towards going out with him. Just the thought of me being his girlfriend makes me cringe. I was lost in thought that when Charlotte tapped my shoulder, I was a little bit stunned.

"Tomorrow night is going to be your night, you'll be taking Lucille's place" she told me before leaving.

I froze.

'Me? Taking Lucille's place tomorrow night?' I thought to myself before sitting down on the couch after moving the flowers in a vase.

"Don't worry Heaven, you'll be great" Lucille told me before working on her makeup.

I slightly nodded and held my hands together once more.

'She's right. I don't have to worry about it' really. It's just a show on my own in front of tons of people...I'll be fine' I told myself  before taking deep breaths to help me calm down.

I looked at my dress and smiled. Though singing tonight helped me, I was still pretty nervous about tomorrow night but anything can happen during that time period. I can do this. I grabbed my scarf and wrapped it around me like a shaw before I started walking home. Luckily it wasn't raining. The night air was cool and it helped me relax. So relaxed that I started quietly singing.

Heaven *quietly*- I'm trying to hold my breath...let it stay this way, can't let this moment end. You set off a dream in me, getting louder now, can you hear it echoing? Take my hand, will you share this with me? 'Cause darling without you. All the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky, will never be enough, never be enough. Towers of gold will still be too little, these hands could hold the world,  but it'll never be enough, never be enough, For me, never-

I was cut off by a couple that I recognized by seeing them at the Rare bird, running away from something. They both looked horrified.

"Whoa! What's wrong? Can I help you?" I asked them calmly.

"Monster! Run for your life!" The man told me before they continued to run.

"Monster?" I asked before seeing Pearl's on the sideways ahead of me.

I continued to walk closer to where the pearls were and saw that they where also in the alley covered with a glass ceiling. I picked up a pearl and smiled. Pearls were always one of my favorite natural beauties, sapphires and rubies being some of the others.

"I better pick these up so no one will get injured" I told myself before I started picking up each of the pearls.

Going deeper into the alley, I saw glass on the ground and I looked up and saw the huge hole in the glass ceiling. I studdered a little bit but continued to collect the pearls. I saw the last one deeper in the alley, it shined with what little light came from the lamppost on the sidewalk. I went to grab it when a black hand with only three fingers lightly grabbed mine, mostly going for the pearl. My breath hitched and I slowly looked up to see two bug eyes with red irises. I didn't move, I didn't scream, I was just frozen there. Then the owner of the red eyes started backing away from me and looked like it was going to flee and I stood up.

"Wait, it's okay. I'm not scary, I promise" I told it and it cautiously moved closer to me, but not enough for me to see it completely.

I saw a red scarf covering it's face, only showing it's eyes and that it was 7-foot tall. Everything else I couldn't see. I tilted my head and it did the same. Then I hesitantly lifted my hand towards it and it lowered its head so my hand cupped its scarf covered cheek.

"Brrrt" I think it said.

I smiled at the noise. It reminded me of a chirp from a bird when it sang or a cat purring when it's happy. But mostly a chirp.

"Cute" I said with a smiled.

The creature leaned into my hand and chirped again. I wondered what it was and I gently went to grab the scarf on it's face but it backed away from me before I could. I looked at the pearls in my other hand and took five of them and gently held them out to the creature.

"To remember me...pearls are my favorite" I told it.

The creature chirped before gently taking the pearls and dissapered into the blackened alleyway.

What was that thing?
