Doris, Lamika, and Dan rode into town in their carriage. Doris parked in front of Hit Paradise.
They entered the dance club. It was pretty lively. Couples were on the dance floor, having a great time, while Kei, Kimber Lee, and Christy stood on the stage, singing one of the ancient songs:

"You know, you got it now.
Is that yourself or nothing at all?
Oh, you think you live.
Well, how can you? You're stuck in four walls."

Doris, Lamika, and Dan walked over to a table and sat down.
Kei had red spiked hair. Christy had short brown hair. Kimber Lee had long brown hair.
"Hey, you're singing it wrong!" Doris yelled.
The girls on stage stopped singing.
"What do you mean?" Christy asked. "We've been singing it this way for years."
Doris stood up and walked up on the stage. "Look, I come from a long line of musicians. I own that song. Give me your guitar."
Christy took off her guitar and handed it to her. "Okay, show us how to sing it. But make it quick. I've got a new band booked to perform in a few minutes."
The club owners took a few steps to their right to give Doris some room.
"Does she do this often?" Lamika asked Dan.
"Every time we come here." he told her.
Doris hung the guitar from her body and faced the audience, standing directly in front of the microphone. She started playing the guitar and sang:

"Know;
you gotta know.
Is that yourself
or nothin' at all?
Oh,
you think you live.
Well, how can you
when stuck in four walls?

If you gotta go,
you better live your life
before you pass away;
don't waste a day.
All your life,
you've been locked in your room;
you've never had a chance to roam
away from home.

So,
you gotta go.
Well, good day.
Don't waste any time.
Oh,
your life today:
it's all familiar,
soon you will find.

If you gotta go,
you better live your life
before you pass away;
don't waste a day.
All your life,
you've been locked in your room;
you've never had a chance to roam
away from home.

Live, live, live, live,
live, live, live, live.

Now,
do what you want
or where you want;
it's all up to you.
Oh,
you like the room.
It's nice to do
what you wanna do.

If you gotta go,
you better live your life
before you pass away;
don't waste a day.
All your life,
you've been locked in your room;
you've never had a chance to roam
away from home.

If
you know by now
what life's about,
go on now and live,
and if
you don't know how,
it's not so hard;
just let go and live.

If you gotta go,
you better live your life
before you pass away;
don't waste a day.
All your life,
you've been locked in your room;
you've never had a chance to roam
away from home.

Live, live, live, live,
live, live, live, live."

Lamika, Dan, and the club owners cheered and applauded. They were the only ones to do so.
Doris bowed to them and took off the guitar. She handed it back to Christy. "Thank you."
"No problem, and thank you." Christy told her. "We'll get it right from now on, I promise."
Doris nodded, walked off the stage, and sat back down at her table.
"You were great." Lamika said with a grin.
Doris smiled. "Thanks."
Christy set her guitar down and unplugged it from the amplifier. She walked over to the microphone. "Okay, we've got a new band with us tonight. Please welcome Dazzle!"
The audience applauded.
The club owners walked off the stage. A puff of smoke filled the stage. When the smoke cleared, three people wearing bright yellow-and-black outfits were standing on the stage. They turned to face the audience.
The man had long blond hair and a pearl earring in his right ear. He was holding a synthaxe, which was now plugged into the amplifier. A woman with long blonde hair was standing in front of a synthesizer. Another woman with long blonde hair was holding a bass guitar.
The man placed his right hand around his microphone. "Yes. I...am...Chaos!"
Young people cheered and screamed wildly.
A girl in the back waved. "Chaos! Chaos, I love you!"
"On the synthesizer - Vixen!"
Vixen blew the audience a kiss and received her own cheers.
"And on bass - Ecstasy!"
Ecstasy played some chords and got even more cheers.
"I can feel the vibrations!" a guy at a table yelled.
"It's so cosmic!" his girlfriend agreed.
Doris and Lamika giggled.
"That's ridiculous!" Lamika said.
"But the crowd loves 'em!" Doris replied. "Oh, I hope their music is as good as their act."
Chaos, Vixen, and Ecstasy started playing their instruments and sang:

"Dazzle, dazzle, dazzle their eyes.
Catch 'em unaware.
Blind 'em with excitement.
Make them stop and a-stop and stare.

It's all in the style,
radiatin' heat.
All in the style,
you knock them off their feet.
All in the style,
make the world ignite.
All in the style.

Sparkle, shimmer, twinkle, and buzz.
Really pour it on.
Go beyond the limits.
Goin', goin', goin', 'n' gone!

All in the style,
radiatin' heat
All in the style,
you knock them off their feet.
All in the style,
puttin' on a show.
All in the style,
set the world aglow!

All in the style.
All in the style.
All in the style.
All in the style."

Doris, Lamika, and Dan stood up and applauded.
They weren't prepared for the mass of screaming, crazed fans that ran towards the stage. They got out of the way seconds before their table and chairs were knocked over. Doris was surprised that Lamika ran up to the stage as well.
"Dazzle rules!" a guy yelled.
"They're outta control!" Christy yelled. "They're gonna destroy the stage!"
Chaos chuckled at the fans standing at his feet. "Yes, marvel in my greatness."
Christy ran up on stage. "Chaos, you've gotta do something before they tear this place apart!"
He took the microphone in his hand. "Quiet. Quiet, everyone! Quiet!"
Everyone fell silent.
"Listen to my voice. Let my voice touch you." he said soothingly. "If you want more music, you must return to your seats. Yes, do this for me - now."
Silently, everybody returned to their seats.
One girl sighed. "Isn't he a dream?"
"I'd do anything he said." another girl added.
"Everyone's sitting down...ju-just because he asked?" Doris asked in surprise.
"Sure. Why shouldn't we?" Lamika asked her.
Christy looked at Chaos. "Amazing."

After Dazzle finished their concert, Doris, Lamika, and Dan left the club.
"Hey, you two!"
The girls felt a hand grab them by the back of their clothes and turn them around. A large man was holding them.
"I know you. You're one of Greco's friends." Doris said. "What the hell do you want?"
"You've got some nerve showing up here with that vampire bitch." the man said.
"You dare insult me?" Lamika's eyes began to glow.
Blue light came out of her body and shocked the man. He threw her to a group of people, who held onto her.
"Have fun with her, boys!" The man faced Doris. "They've always wondered what it would be like to do it with a vampire."
Doris gasped. They were going to rape Lamika!
"You bastards! Let her go!" Doris yelled.
"I don't think so." the man said. "And as for you, - "
"Let them go."
The man turned around and saw Chaos standing there.
"Get lost. This don't concern you." the man told him.
Vixen arrived and stood to Chaos' left.
"Let them go." they said.
"Get out of here!" the man yelled.
Ecstasy arrived and stood to Chaos' right.
"Didn't you hear us?" Ecstasy, Chaos, and Vixen asked simultaneously.
"Oh, no!" the man yelled when he saw that their eyes were glowing blue.
"We said let them go!"
Blue light came from their bodies and struck the man holding Doris and the men holding Lamika. The men were shocked, dropped the girls, and ran off down the street.
Doris and Lamika gazed at the band members in shock. "Thank...you."
"Don't mention it." Chaos said.
"You're..." Lamika couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.
"Dhampirs." Chaos confirmed. "The same as you."
"That's how come you were able to get the audience to obey you." Doris realized. "You have some kind of power of persuasion."
"I prefer to call it my will." he said.
"All vampires and dhampirs have it." Lamika explained. "But my ability isn't fully developed yet."
"Your songs are great." Doris told them.
"I'm glad you like them." Chaos said.
"I love them." Doris said. "And they seem so familiar. I have this feeling that I know them from somewhere."
"They're from the old stories...before the war." he replied.
"Yes." Doris agreed.
"I heard you sing." he said. "You're good."
Doris smiled. "Thanks." She shook their hands. "I'm Doris Lang."
"I'm Lamika Lee." Lamika said, shaking their hands as well.
"I'm Dan Lang." Dan said, also shaking their hands.
"My real name is Rory Llewellyn." Chaos told them. "Chaos is my stage name. I'm from Los Angeles."
"I'm Phoebe Ashe." Ecstasy said. "I'm from San Francisco."
"And I'm Ingrid Kruger." Vixen said. "I'm from Berlin, Germany."
"All of you come from a long way from Ransylva." Doris said in surprise. "What brings you to Oregon?"
"We're on tour." Rory replied.
"How can you travel from one place to another?" Doris asked.
"We have a car." Phoebe replied.
"You've got a working car?!" Doris asked in surprise. "I've never seen one that works before!"
"It's a red 1985 Pontiac Firebird - restored, of course." Phoebe put her left arm around Ingrid. "My little Vixen is very smart with mechanical things."
Phoebe kissed Ingrid passionately on the lips. They hugged and drew each other into a warm embrace.
Doris and Lamika stared in shock at the two band members. They watched Phoebe and Ingrid french kiss and felt lust burning between their legs. Dan stared at the bass guitarist and synth player and got an erection.
Phoebe and Ingrid broke their kiss and released their hold on each other.
"It's true." Ingrid said. "I've been building synthesizers since I was 14."
"Neat." Doris said simply, still entranced by them. "Well,...we should get home. Do you three have a place to stay?" Please say no.
"Yes, we're staying at the hotel." Rory said.
"Oh." Doris replied. "Well, good night."
The others also said good night.
Doris, Lamika, and Dan got in their carriage and rode back home.
