Katie looked at her father who nodded signaling that he got the message. She then looked at the two of her brothers who are singing next; Will and Austin. They were singing If I Die Young by The Band Perry. Her brothers, knowing they were next stood up from there seats and walked up to the stage. Trading spots with their sister Austin began to speak.
"The song we chose is for all of us demigods mostly because we tend to die young."
(Will, Austin, both)
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a woman
But it sure felt nice when she was holdin' my hand,
There's a girl here in town, says she'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.

I hate using my phone to write chapters especially duets because it is a pain in the butt. Seriously.
I'm going to a haunted mansion today!! Which means long hours in the car (boo).
That is all I have to say BYE!!
Ps, I got no hours of sleep last night and it is roughly 6 Am? I think.
