"What are you doing here?" Luke questioned, stepping in front of the other three while glaring at Caleb.

Caleb gasps. "Such hostility." He smiles. "I'm just here to congratulate you on your big night."

Stella rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. Caleb chuckles. "Not everyone gets to play the Orpheum."

"No." Luke pulls up his sleeve, pointing to the wrist Caleb put the stamp on him. "Okay, we know that it's your stamp hurting us. We already told you, we have a band." He puts his sleeve back down and points at Stella. "We don't wanna join your little club and Stella doesn't want to be apart of your club either."

"Hmm." Caleb hums, glancing at Stella. "I believe Stella can speak for herself."

Stella steps forward. "Luke's right. I don't want to be apart of your club anymore. Not after how you tricked me and how you basically have been lying to me about the fact that you care about me."

"That's not entirely true." Caleb points at her. "I do care about you."

Alex steps forward, standing beside Stella as he points at Caleb. "If you really cared about her you wouldn't have put the stamp on her." When Caleb looks at him with an intimidatingly stare he steps back to where he was standing beside Reggie, quickly adding, "Sir."

Caleb sighs, shaking his head while looking back at Stella. "But I just wanted to be sure that you'll be on my side during this whole thing since I knew how close you are with that Julie girl and these boys."

Stella glares at Caleb, moving back to stand beside Luke. "But you're crossing over tonight!" Caleb smiles at the four of them. "So exciting! Funny thing about the cross over, no one really knows what's waiting on the other side."

Stella nervously biting her lower lip, knowing that Caleb had a point. She and the boys didn't have any clue what's on the other side and that's what scares her.

Caleb smirks. "But I know what's happening on this side." He blows a kiss at the four of them and then they were gone.

****

The boys end up backstage at the Hollywood Ghost Club, each in different suits. Alex had on a pink one, Luke had on a blue one, and Reggie had on a red one. "Sweat threads." Reggie commented. He hated that he actually thought that the suits looked good.

"How...How'd you know our sizes?" Alex stammered out a question, looking down at the pink suit he wore.

Luke looks at him with annoyance as he tries to pull down his collar that wouldn't move. "That's your question!"

Caleb sighs. "I know you boys aren't my biggest fans. And an eternity at my club might seem overwhelming. But...I just put you in sweat threads, so humor me one last pitch. Now, for starters, isn't it nice that you're all here together?"

"And believe me, everything you want," Caleb points at Alex. "Including Willie," He points at Luke. "And even Stella are here."

At that moment Luke then realized that Stella wasn't there and he panics. He glares at Caleb, stepping forward a bit. "Where's Stella? What'd you do with her?"

"I didn't do anything with her." Caleb smirks. "Yet." He snaps his fingers and suddenly Stella appears out of thin air, landing on her hands and knees on the floor. Stella breathes heavily, looking around with wide eyes. She honestly wished Caleb made her land safer than that. She did feel a little relieved at seeing she wasn't where she was a few seconds ago, but seeing she was at the club didn't make her feel any better.

"Stella!" Luke rushed over to her, bending down as he gently grabs her arms, helping her stand up. During this moment he noticed that Stella was dressed up like how he and the boys are. She wore a nice black t-shirt, and a maxi gold star pattern skirt along with black boots. Her hair was curled and she also had makeup on.

(this is what stella looks like for the rest of the chapter)

"Luke!" Stella gasped, holding onto his arms tightly, not wanting to ever let go. She looks behind him, noticing Alex and Reggie were there as well. She had to admit she was so glad to see the boys despite the situation they're in.

"Are-Are you okay?" Luke stammers out a question, his eyes full of concern while checking her to make sure she was okay. "Where were you?"

"I-I'm fine. Just a little panicked." Stella replies, taking a shaky breath. "And I-I was in this room, it was completely dark. There was no way out and I'm for sure I was alone there. I don't know how long I was there, but it felt like hours."

"I only put you there so I'd know where you are at all times." Caleb explained.

Luke glares at him, pushing Stella behind him, and keeps a tight grip on her hand. "Also," Caleb continues, walking towards the four ghosts until he stood in front of them. "On my stage, you don't vanish when the music stops. You soak in the applause for as long as you want."

He adjusts Luke's bow tie before putting his hands on Luke's shoulders. "The connection that you will feel with that audience will be like no other. I promise." Luke didn't know what to do. On one hand it sounded great, but on the other hand they were leaving Julie and were technically going to be forced to play for eternity if they went along with Caleb.

Stella looks towards the stage when distant cheering is heard. "Oh! Shh. Do you hear that?" Caleb asks and smiles. "They're waiting for you."

The four ghosts all groan in pain when they're hit with another jolt, but this one hurt more than the others. Caleb winces, starting to walk backwards to the stage. "That one looked like it hurt."

"Now, let me remind you, you don't know if playing the Orpheum is your unfinished business." Caleb said to the boys and he looks at Stella. "And you still don't know what your unfinished business is."

"Yeah," Stella rolls her eyes, looking at him with a glare. "I didn't need to be reminded about that."

Caleb ignores her comment and looks at the boys. "Do you really have time to make that mistake? I suggest that you accept my offer because the clock is ticking."

The four of them are hit with another jolt of pain just as tough as the other one they were recently hit with. They all groan and wince, holding onto where the jolt of pain hit them. "Ouch!" Caleb exclaims. He starts walking to the stage. "You know where to find me."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am back!" Caleb shouts to the crowd once he got onto stage.

"Ellie..." Luke turns to Stella, meeting her eyes and his heart ache at seeing fear in them. "You have to go." Stella tells him, squeezing his hand. "Go back to Julie. You...You can't stay here. This place isn't what you think it is. If you stay here you'll be here forever and that's not good."

Luke shakes his head. "No, I'm not leaving you. I'm not leaving you with him."

"You can't save me." Stella smiles sadly at him, letting go of his hand to cup his face, her heart fluttering when he leaned into her touch. "I'll be alright here because I'll know you, Alex, and Reggie are back with Julie."

"We'll find a way to save you." Luke said, determined to not leave her there.

"Yeah," Alex agrees. "We'll save you. We're not leaving you here."

Reggie sent a smile Stella's way while saying, "No matter what."

"Like I said, you can't save me." Stella shakes her head, finally letting the tears she was trying so hard to keep in fall. "Caleb, he...He has my soul."

"How?" Luke furrowed his eyebrows, not remembering when Stella was given the stamp.

"The day of the party at Julie's house." Stella sighs, taking her hand away from Luke to wipe away the tears that were falling. "I went back to the club since I was told earlier that day that Caleb wanted to talk to me later that night. I had no clue what he wanted to talk about. When I got there he said he wanted me to invite you guys to another show and I agreed to do it."

"Then he shook my hand to seal the deal." Stella shakes her head, looking at the boys with an apologetic expressions while the boys look at her with frowns. "I-I didn't think he would give me the stamp."

Stella scoffs, mentally scolding herself for falling for Caleb's trap. "I should've known that he was up to no good. I should've known how he's really like."

"It's not your fault." Luke reassures her, not liking seeing her upset. He steps towards her, taking ahold of her hand. "He tricked you just like he tricked us." He doesn't hesitate to pull her into a hug and she wraps her arms around him tightly. "Somehow we'll save your soul and get you out of here."

Stella sniffles, burying her face into the crook of his neck. "How exactly are we going to do that?"

"We'll figure it out." Alex responded.

After Luke and Stella pull away from the hug, Stella shakes her head, looking at them with fear and worry. "How? How are we going to figure it out? This is something we can't easily figure out, and you guys, I'm honestly so scared right now, and-"

The boy's eyes widen when Stella disappeared. "W-Where is she?" Luke stuttered, looking around them. A frown tugs on his lips and he begins to panic more when he saw that she was gone.

What Stella and the boys didn't know was that now Caleb only let the boys see Stella for a limited amount of time. He almost screw up his plan, letting her have so much freedom, and he wasn't going to screw up again. It was obvious he was willing to do whatever it took to get the boys into his club. The boys stare at the stage, watching as Caleb began to sing.

"You know you wanna take a chance," Caleb looks at the boys with a smirk. "And be a little bit bad. Ain't nothing quite like living on the edge."

Caleb looks back at the crowd, continuing to sing. "So get ready to go," He moves over to the side along with his two flapper girls who were dancing with him, facing the boys as he sings. "I'm chasing down the thrill, and looking fit to kill."

The two flapper girls go back onto the stage while Caleb still stayed on the side, facing the boys. "So listen to the words a wise man said. He said, 'Covington, I got an offer you can't refuse'. Ha!" He moves back to the center of the stage. "You got nothing to lose, boys."

When Caleb points over at the boys, their bodies start reacting to the music that's playing despite whether they wanted to move or not. "Lose! Lose! Lose! You got nothing to lose, boys." As he sang, he made his way back over to the side where the boys are at, gesturing them onto the sage with a smirk on his face at noticing their bodies beginning to react to the music.

Alex looks at his hand with wide eyes when he realized that he was twirling his drum stick. "Lose! Lose! Lose! You got nothing to lose!"

Alex was suddenly poofs onto stage and to him it felt like a magnetic pull. He was behind the drum set, being forced to play. Caleb now stood back on stage beside the drum set, looking at the crowd with a smirk. "Alex! Show me what you got!" The blonde haired boy looks at the crowd, noticing they were cheering for him, but he didn't care. He just wanted to leave.

After Alex's drum solo, Reggie suddenly poofs onto stage, playing his bass. "Reggie! Swing it baby!" Reggie stood center of the stage with a confused and scared look on his face. When his bass solo was over, Caleb grins and points at Luke, dragging out Luke's name as he sang. "Now, Luke!"

Luke glares at Caleb, being forced to swing his guitar around to the front of him, and to play a solo. He scowls when Caleb magnetically pulled him onto the stage no matter how much Luke fought against it.

"You and me!" Caleb sang while Luke aggressively played each note, continuing to scowl at Caleb, hating that he had no control. Stella was right. This club was totally different than what they thought it was. Sure, they'd get to play and soak up all the attention, but they wouldn't be playing willingly.

Caleb stands between Luke and Reggie, outstretching his arms to them while smiling at the crowd. "How do you like my new band?" In response the crowd cheers loud and then Caleb moves to stand behind Luke and Reggie, beginning to scat.

Suddenly, Stella appears center of the stage where Caleb was a few seconds ago. She twirled around gracefully right after she appeared on stage. began dancing along to the music with a dance she never remembered practicing. Stella had the same outfit on as she did when the boys saw her a few moments ago. Luke knew that she was an amazing dancer, but he was still amazed by how she moved so gracefully.

(this would be what stella's dance is during 'you got nothing to lose'. start the video at 2:10. at first only focus on zendaya & picture her as stella with the outfit i showed she's wearing. then when the video gets to 2:30 picture val as luke. & make sure to end the video at 2:37)

Stella begins dancing a dance she doesn't ever remember practicing, yet it looked like she knew what she was doing. She knew it was Caleb making her move like this and she hated it, but there was nothing she could do about it. She forces a smile whenever she would face the crowd, noticing Caleb stern stare he gave her when she looked back at him with a glare.

Then at one point of the song Stella twirls around to Luke and that's when he realized he had stopped playing which made him wonder why. Their eyes meet and Luke could tell she didn't enjoy this one bit. Luke's eyes showed how grateful he was to see her, but there was hurt in his eyes as well because this wasn't what neither of them wanted. Caleb smirks at the two, snapping his fingers once as he sang.

Luke was quick to realize why he had stopped playing because then he was twirling Stella around. Their arms were wrapped around each other as the two of them twirled around before Luke twirled Stella again. He was surprised at how she didn't get dizzy during this. Luke had to admit she looked beautiful, well she always does to him, but at this moment she looked really beautiful, and she took his breath away right when she appeared on stage.

For the ending drum hit Alex played, Caleb made Luke dip Stella. He supported her by having his left arm around her shoulders and he had his right arm around her stomach. He then twirls her out again. They both breathed heavily at the end of the song as the crowd cheered loudly. Stella looks back at Luke and he felt himself leaning in to kiss her, but then all he felt was air. She vanished.

Not feeling her hand in his, not seeing her beside him anymore almost made him want to cry. He didn't know where she was at, if she was okay, or if he was ever going to see her again, and he hated that. He looked over at Reggie, sharing a look with him before looking back at Alex. The three of them knew they couldn't stay there. They needed to leave and to do that, they would have to fight against Caleb.

A/N this chapter was so much fun to write! i decided to add a video of zendaya & val dancing for stella's & luke's part at the end of the chapter cause zendaya & val are very talented & i thought the dance went along the song well. i hope the dance part of this chapter wasn't too confusing. anyway, i can't believe there's only one more chapter left! i'm gonna miss writing stella's story with luke.
