Drinking By The Mausoleum Door

Gerard's P.O.V We all went to the mansion an hour later. It was amazing. The entrance gates were huge black steel gates. The driveway, leading up to the house was very impressive. Two cars could easily drive side by side up it. There was a large roundabout outside the mansion. In the centre of which was a large waterfall. To one side of the driveway was a beautiful Japanese style garden. To the other was high bushes, forming a maze. Wow. It's like being in a movie. Then there's the mansion itself. It was....huge. A extremely large white building. It looks like every bedroom has a balcony. Great. I love balconies. The whole building looked as well kept as the gardens. I looked over at Mysty as I stopped the car. She was looking at the building without emotion. "You okay, baby?" I asked, reaching for her hand. She turned to look at me and smiled. "Yeah. It's just....I don't know. I kinda vaguely remember this place." She turned back to see a small, dark haired women. In her late fourties. She saw Mysty and put her hands over her mouth, tears in her eyes. "Shannon?" Mysty said, wide eyed. Then climbed out of the car. I climbed out too and watched her. "I remember you." Mysty said, quietly. The woman lowered her hands. "My little beauty." The woman cried. Mysty's eyes widened. "My parents brought me back for a month when I was seven. You were my nanny." The woman smiled. "You always were such a beautiful girl." She said. "You used to read to me." Mysty stated. "My favourite story was Beauty and the Beast." "So I nicknamed you my little beauty." Mysty rushed forward and was pulled into a hug. "It's so good to see you all grown up, Martina." The woman said as she pulled away. Mysty smiled as she walked towards me and grabbed my hand. She turned back to the woman. "This is Shannon Derwent, my nanny from when I was younger." I smiled. "Shannon, I'd like you to meet Gerard Way. My husband." Shannon's smile widened. "Wow." She whistled. "I guess Beauty skipped the Beast and married the Prince straight away." I could feel myself blushing as Mysty laughed. Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>> The inside of the mansion was amazing. The library was wall to wall books. The typical movie library. There was a actual ballroom complete with stage and a wall of windows that can be opened to let the party flow into the back garden. A dining room with a table big enough for twelve people. The colour scheme was white and blue. The twelve bedrooms reflected different holiday destinations. Japan, Mexico, Spain, Britain, America, Ireland, Scotland, Egypt, Italy, Holland, Bahamas and Germany. The en suite bathrooms were made to match. There was a games room with all kinds of up to date games consoles and games. Shannon said she was in charge of keeping up with the latest consoles and games. There was a large study. Complete with the latest computer. Again, a movie style study. A big playroom was next door to the study. Every kind of toy a child could ever want was there. Including old toys that were obviously passed down. The kitchen was ultra modern. The colour scheme was silver and white. The lounge was Egyptian style. Gold and blue colours mainly. But what got me the most about the mansion was the cellar. Unlike most places that had wine cellars, this one was a music room and recording studio. It had walls of guitars of all kinds. A expensive looking drum kit. Microphone's. There was a cabinet of microphone headsets. But something else caught my eye. A cabinet of gold and platinum records that were presented to...... "Oh my god." I exclaimed, wide eyed. "Did your family know thee Rock Falls?" I asked, turning to Mysty. "Marco Stark was my uncle." She answered, looking at a band photo with a frown. "Wait." Bob said in shock. "So you knew a rock band and never told us?" "And you were related to the lead vocalist?" Ray added. Mysty laughed. "How do you think Brian got into the business?" "Seriously?" Mikey said. "So why did they really break up?" Mysty looked sad. "Uncle Marco....died." She said, quietly. "Car crash." She sighed. "I never knew he was a celebrity. Kind of weird really. But I didn't know a lot about my family really. I know I probably didn't show it, but I didn't know Marco was in a band until I saw that picture. I knew he was into music though. But I thought he was in management or promotions." I smiled at her, then pulled her into a hug. "Okay, baby?" I asked, kissing her forehead. "I'm fine." She said, then turned in my arms to look at Billy. "You get to choose two guitars, remember." She walked over to pick up a white one with the word 'Pansy' on it. "But not this one." She turned to Frank. "I saw this one when we first walked in." She held it out to him. "I think you should have it." Frank's mouth dropped open. "Oh my god." He said as he took it. "It's amazing." "I remember seeing uncle Marco play it." Mysty said. "It was his favourite." Frank's eye's widened. "Are you sure you don't want to keep it?" He asked. "For sentimental reasons." Mysty shook her head. "No. It is meant to be played. Besides, it fits well with you." She grinned. "I think it has something to do with the word 'Pansy'." We all laughed at the look Frank gave her. Mysty looked at Mikey and Ray. "After Billy's chose his guitars, I want you two to pick one out each." Mikey and Ray, stared in shock. She looked at Bob. "You can pick a drum kit too." She said. "Call it our contribution to the band." Bob hugged her. "Your the best, Mysty." He said, pulling away.
