Chapter 1: Flashbacks
Flashback: Third Person POV
Melony Masen - as she was going by - received her schedule and walked to her new locker at Forks High School. She put her books into the backpack absentmindedly, nervous about the upcoming school day. She had tried to prolong it as best she could, but it was inevitable. Entering her homeroom, she noticed an empty seat by a girl with dark brown hair. As she sat down, she glanced at the girl. The brunette was very pretty - like a vampire - and had gold eyes. That's when Melony felt like she was going to freak out. As the bell rang, signaling the first class, it was all she could do to walk at a normal human speed.
At lunch, she sat by herself and played with her necklace. She was pretty much determined to get through the school day without coming in contact with the girl with gold eyes or anyone for that matter. It had been a while since she'd seen that - a really long while.
Melony then sensed someone coming up to her table. She sighed, but looked up. The girl who approached her had curly, bronze hair, - much like Melony herself, except hers was straight - brown eyes, and looked very familiar.
"Hi! I'm Nessie!" the girl said with a smile on her face. "I saw you sitting alone and was wondering if I could sit with you. You seem lonely."
Melony shrugged. "Sure, why not?"
Nessie sat down, smiling at Melony.
"Please stop," Melony asked. "You're kinda creepin' me out."
Nessie laughed. "Sorry! By the way, this is my sister, Bella."
Melony hadn't noticed a girl with brown hair coming up behind Nessie. As the girl sat down and looked up, Melony noticed it was the same girl from her homeroom. The girl with gold eyes. Melony tried to keep calm, to keep from running out of the cafeteria like a crazy person.
"Hi," Bella said quietly, looking down at the table.
"So what's your name?" Nessie asked, still smiling.
"Melony," Melony answered kind of awkwardly. "Nice to meet you guys."
From then on, Melony, Bella, and Nessie sat at lunch together everyday. Nessie was the one who talked the most, but Melony slowly opened up to her after awhile. Then, one day, Melony confronted Nessie about her sister's eyes when Bella wasn't there. It was a sunny day, and that only confirmed Melony's suspicions.
"Nessie?" Melony asked, drinking her juice.
"Yeah?"
"What's with your sister's eyes? Like... they're gold... and yours are brown."
Nessie rolled her eyes. At first, Melony thought it was something she had done, but then Nessie answered her question.
"My sister... she's really weird. You see, she wears glasses, but she hates them so she got contacts. And, being the weird person she is, she decided to get gold colored contacts." Nessie rolled her eyes again. "Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be her sister, but I love her either way."
She shrugged and smiled.
"Okay..." Melony said, stretching out the word. "But... what about why she's so pale? And why she isn't at school when it's sunny?"
Nessie laughed. "Have you seen Forks? It's barely ever sunny! Kinda hard to get a tan when you live in, like, the rainiest place on Earth! As for today, she got sick."
Melony shook her head, rolling her eyes. "Not buying it, Ness. I know you guys are different. I've seen how Bella never eats or drinks anything!"
Nessie shrugged, determined to keep their secret under wraps. "School food is gross."
"You guys are vampires, aren't you?" Melony asked, smirking. "And don't lie."
Nessie gaped. "How did you know? I mean... vampires aren't real! Psshh! What are you talking about?"
"It's okay, Ness. I'm a vampire, too. Sort of... not really. I'm half-human/half-vampire."
Nessie gasped, then lowered her voice, saying, "I am, too! Bella's a full vampire, though! Oh man! Bella's gonna be pissed that I told!"
Melony laughed, feeling like she had belonged more than she had in years.
"Okay, so this is our house," Bella said cheerfully. "It's not much, but it's home." Bella shrugged. "Ness'll show you your room."
"Do you have a credit card?" Melony asked her, the wheels already turning in her head. "I'd really love to decorate your house."
"Omigosh!" Nessie squealed. "Mom, please? Pretty, pretty please!"
"Yeah, Bella, please!" Melony joined her. "I promise it won't be crazy or anything!"
Bella rolled her eyes, but relented. And she was very happy she had.
Flashback: Boy Meets Girl
Jacob climbed the steps up to the patio in his best friend, Bella's, backyard, towing along Cole, the newest pack member, with him. Cole was Seth and Leah's, who were still part of Jacob's pack, nephew from their cousin on their late father's side. He was, of course, of Quileute descent, young, and very eager to meet these vampires his alpha had told him about.
"Hey, Bella!" Jacob said, giving her a hug.
"Hey, Jake," Bella answered, rolling her eyes but giving him a huge hug anyway.
Jacob had grown used to her vampire smell over the years, and although it wasn't very appealing, he wouldn't trade her for the world. Especially since if it wasn't for her, he never would have met his true love.
"Jakey!" Nessie squealed as she came out of the house, jumping into his arms.
"Hey, Ness!" Jacob picked her up and swung her around. "Where's Melony?"
"Right here!" Melony said, running to get her hug from Jacob. "What are you doing here?"
"We got a new guy. He's young, and, of course, wanted to meet the big, bad vampires of Forks."
Bella, once again, rolled her eyes, then stuck her hand out. "Nice to meet you. I'm Bella. And you are?"
"Cole," he said with a dazed look, shaking her hand, and being surprised at how freezing cold it was.
Forgetting the chill, Cole was surprised at how this vampire wasn't at all what he imagined. She was beautiful, and even though she was pale, it suited her completely. Bella giggled, knowing how vampires could effect those not used to them and even those who were.
"I'm Nessie, Bella's daughter," Nessie said, sticking out her hand as well. "I'm a half-vampire."
Cole wasn't as dazed by this half-vampire. She was pretty, yes, but she had nothing on Bella. At least that's what he thought until he looked at Melony. Melony beat out any vampire he would ever meet. No competition.
Melony blushed when she met his eyes. He was just so cute! And he was buff! How old was he again?
"Hi, I'm Melony," she said, sticking out her hand.
"Cole," he replied in a dazed state once again.
"Nice to meet you, Cole."
"Yeah... you too."
They were silent after that, just staring at each other, their hands still connected. Jacob quickly grew bored, rolling his eyes.
"Let's go, lover boy," he said, dragging Cole away. "You can see your girlfriend later on movie night."
"Bye, Melony!" Cole called.
"Bye!"
Flashback: Movie Night with Death
Melony POV
The movie was just getting to the best part. I eagerly ate the popcorn as Nessie covered her eyes with her hands while still peeking at the screen. Cole was watching eagerly as well, yet still scared by the movie. I rolled my eyes.
"Are you guys really that scared of this movie?" I asked.
They nodded.
"Seriously? This is just Final Destination 3; The Final Destination is going to be the best," Jacob said.
"I know right?" I gushed. "I'm so excited about it!"
We then started talking about going to see it.
"This is getting way too scary for me, so I'm going to go," Nessie said.
She stood up, adding, "Jake, you can stay if you want," when he started to get up to follow her. He nodded, sitting back down, but then didn't take his eyes off the screen.
"I'm gonna go, too," Cole said.
I smiled and looked over to Bella. She was clutching a pillow so hard it was ripping down the middle. I took it from her and let her squeeze my hand instead, that is, until she almost broke it. I instead slipped Jacob's hand into hers. He yelped in pain as I laughed.
"Y'know, I think that we should watch out," I said, just trying to creep them out.
They looked at me quizzically. "Well, the movie is about Death trying to kill all the kids who keep escaping him, right? We will never age and are mostly indestructible by anything that Death tries to throw at us which basically means that we're escaping him. So, we should watch out before this exact same thing happens to us."
Just as I finished, the lights cut off, lightning flashed, and thunder boomed. Bella screamed. I looked at her like she was crazy.
"Oh c'mon, Bells," I said. "It's better to watch this movie in the dark anyway! It makes it more suspenseful!"
I turned back to the movie just in time to see that the movie cut off. Bella started screaming again, covering her eyes. A figure that I recognized as the Grim Reaper popped up before us. Bella screamed again and lunged at the creature. I saw Nessie dart out of the way as Bella ripped apart "Death". Jacob and I started laughing.
"Cole... turn on... the lights!" I managed to choke out in-between laughter.
The lights came on, and Cole came into the living room, sitting next to me, clutching his sides. We were both laughing hysterically by the time Nessie came out from behind the couch, looking absolutely buried her face in Jake's chest and, although he knew he was going to get hell for it later, he shook with laughter. This whole time Bella was just staring at us, "Death's" cloak still in her hands.
"Bella," Jacob said, acting like he's completely serious, "I think that Nessie should stay the night at La Push with me. Tomorrow I'll send someone over to retrieve her stuff, and you will get to see her on the weekends. Obviously you're way too much of a dangerous mother for her to live with you."
"Nessie?" she asked. "You were behind that cloak?"
Ness nodded sheepishly.
"Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Bella yelled.
"We tricked you," I said, just barely stopping my laughter to answer her. "We all planned it because we knew you'd freak out! I just... I didn't think you'd get that freaked! That was just too hilarious!" I got serious then. "But the warning stays true. We should still watch for 'Death'."
Cole kept on shaking with silent laughter while we got serious. Bella was real serious at first, too, and then we all burst out laughing again, including Bella. Then, the lights cut off again, but this time not by any other prank. By then, we had all stopped and were completely silent, except for Bella.
"Who else do you guys have in on this?" Bella asked. "Seth? Leah? Sam?"
She continued to laugh and sat down on the couch.
"Bella, we aren't doing this," I said nervously, right now wishing that those words were false.
Thunder boomed again and lightning flashed, just like we had done last time.
"Yeah, right!" she said.
Death popped up before us again. A dark voice spoke.
"You have escaped me for the last time!" it cackled. "Now, you shall meet your doom!"
Nessie and I screamed. Cole's eyes went wide with fright. When Ness and I had stopped, there was still a shrill, girlie scream. We realized it was Jake, causing him to stop. That made Bella laugh and I would've laughed too, but I had a bad feeling that this was serious. Bella still laughed. Two more Deaths popped up, circling the couch.
Bella sighed. "You guys have really outdone yourselves. I have to give you props. But seriously?"
She tore off the cloak like she had with our fake Death. However, instead of there being nothing behind it, a glowing skeleton appears, looking really scary. We all started screaming, even Bella, Cole and Jake with his girly scream. The lights came back as Death disappeared, and the TV came back on. The last thing we heard was an evil laugh from Death. I turned the TV off, still shocked.
"Guys, grab your jackets," Bella commanded. "We're going out."
"Where?" Nessie asked, grabbing her jacket quickly.
"Anywhere but here. We throw out all Final Destination movies - we can still see The Final Destination - but we never speak of this again, okay? Never saw it, never heard it, never speak it. That's our motto."
We all nodded, and Bella grabbed the keys. We left the house really fast and didn't look back as she sped off.
Flashback: I'm Breaking Up With You
Cole POV
I walked with my head down through school. I had no idea how I was going to do this or what I was even going to say. She was so sweet, so kind, and would never do anything to hurt me just as I would do the same. Yet, right now, I was going against all that and was going to hurt her so badly. I wished I could just skip school for the rest of my life, but I didn't think it would be that bad. That is, until I saw her smiling face with my schoolwork in a folder, hands stretched out to me.
"Hey, Cole!" she said.
"Hey, Ashlyn," I answered my soon-to-be ex-girlfriend
"Here's all your school work! Where have you been? You missed, like, the whole week last week, and you missed two days this week. Is something wrong?"
I sighed. "Walk with me, Ashlyn."
She nodded and put her hands in her back pocket. I can't believe I'm about to break her heart!
"Cole? You know you don't have to tell me anything, right? Not if you don't want to. I understand. Really!"
I nodded, not really listening. I stopped and she stopped, too, turning to face me.
"Ashlyn, we've been... I think that... we need to... ugh!"
I slumped against the lockers, really feeling awful about what I was about to do. She smiled and leaned against the lockers, too.
"Cole, just spit it out," she said kindly.
"Ashlyn... I'm breaking up with you."
I cringed, shutting my eyes tightly. I don't hear anything from her, so I open my eyes and look. I really wish I hadn't. Tears have welled up in her eyes.
"What? Why?" she sobbed quietly.
"I met another girl. I just think that we need to go our separate ways."
She started to get angry.
"And who is this... girl who you seems to be your soulmate?" she asked.
Little did she know, she was directly on the truth.
"It's not that." Lie! "It's just that she's opened my eyes to different things of the world. She makes me see it all differently." Not far from the truth. I do see the world differently. I see nothing but her.
"Well, Cole, can't we just work things out?" she asked. "I mean, why don't you spend time with the both of us and see who you like most."
I sighed and shook my head.
"If it came down to that, it wouldn't be a contest," I said.
It's true. My choice would always be Melony. She pouted, about to speak, but the bell ringing cut her off.
"I'll... I guess I won't catch you later."
I nodded. She waved goodbye, and walked off, looking really sad. I sighed. At least that was over with.
~DLG~DLG~DLG~DLG~DLG~
I sat down on the pier as Mel sat down next to me.
"Hey Coley Bear!" she said with a bright smile on her face.
I smiled. "Hey Mel."
"What's wrong?" she asked.
I sighed and shook my head.
"Tell me - Oh wait, never mind. You did it, huh?"
I nodded. I had told her that I would break up with Ashlyn as soon as possible. Then, I had sounded really excited.
"It was just harder than I thought."
She sighed. "You still have feelings for her."
It wasn't a question.
"No! No, I do not! I only have feelings for you Melony."
I smiled. She looked at me and before I knew it, she pushed me into the water. Luckily, it's not really a pier that overlooks the ocean. It overlooks a lake. It was me and Melony's favorite spot.
"What was that for?" I asked.
She shrugged. "I wanted you to get wet, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity." She shrugged again and stood up. "I have to go home. I'll see you later, Koala Bear."
Koala Bear, along with Coley Bear, was her nickname for me. In turn, I called her Mel Bear. I got out, intending to push her in, but she quickly ran away, yelling bye over her shoulder. I shook my head, smiling, and turn around. Then I see her.
Mel's POV
I sensed someone with Cole as I was running away from him. I hid behind the trees and watched them. I saw a girl with blond hair and brown highlight. Her hair was in a messy bun, and she was wearing a yellow tee, jean capris with the ripped style, and brown flipflops. I rolled my eyes. Flip-flops with jeans are so 2009.
I could hear her about to talk Cole. I moved closer to hear them better.
"Ashlyn!" he said.
Right now I regretted having pushed him in. He was soaking wet and his tee, ripped at the sleeves, was almost see-through. I growled at the girl.
"Cole, can we talk?" she asked.
He shrugged and nodded. I knew he knew I was here, though, and could hear every word he and that stupid girl were saying.
"I really think that you should dump that girl you just met. We've been going out for way longer than you have known her."
I growled. So this is his ex-girlfriend.
"Ashlyn, I feel like I've known her forever. I really think me and her were meant to be."
I smiled to myself. Obviously this girl didn't realize that it was over between her and Cole, so I guess I'm going to have to show her. Her eyes traveled down to Cole's wet t-shirt. I ground my teeth and growl, wanting to pounce. He crossed his arms over his chest like I've seen him do countless times when he meets with the pack. I decided that now was the perfect time to some out.
So I skipped out from my hiding spot yelling, "Cole, I-!"
I stopped. He looked at me, horrified. Not the reaction I had been hoping for.
"Who's this?" Ashlyn asked.
"Yeah, Cole, who's this?" I said.
He rubbed the back of his head, sheepishly.
"Hey, Mel," he said. "This is Ashlyn, my ex-girlfriend."
I nodded and extend my hand, just to be polite. She just glared at me. I took my hand back and moved next to Cole. I really didn't like this girl.
Ashlyn's POV
I stared at the girl who had stolen Cole's heart. I had to admit that she was pretty. Actually, she's unnaturally gorgeous. She had dark brown hair that had a tint of... bronze, I think. it was very thick at the ends and kind of rounded. She wore no make-up and the only jewelry she had on was her gold, tiny-hoop earrings and her necklace that looked very expensive. She was wearing a purple shirt, a jean mini-skirt with black leggings, black flats, and a jacket that hung around her arms, not her shoulders. She held one of Cole's hands in both of hers.
"Who are you?" I asked, acidly.
I really did hate her. She's too... perfect.
"I'm Melony," she said.
Her voice was velvet smooth, not really high-pitched but I could tell she was a girly-girl, but it didn't look like it the way she was shooting daggers at me.
"I'm Cole's girlfriend."
I flinched at that, and looked at Cole to confirm it, but he was looking at her as if she was a fragile china doll. She looked up at him and smiled then turned to glare at me.
"How old are you anyway?" I asked. "Like, ten?"
"You need to know why?" she countered arrogantly.
Just like I thought. A rich little princess. Of course. She was obviously used to getting whatever she wanted. She was not going to give Cole up easily.
"Just curious," I said, not looking away.
"Look, Ashlyn, you're blond, you're pretty, you can find another guy, but this guy," she jabbed her thumb back to Cole, "is taken."
I glared at her. She smirked, feeling victorious.
"I'm not going to give him up that easily," I said.
"Well, you'll be fighting for eternity." She lowered her eyes down and then back as if sizing me up. "Because I will fight. And I won't give up."
"Neither will I," I said.
"Yeah, good luck with that."
I balled my fists, wanting to swing at her. She noticed.
"I don't think you want to fight with me, Ashlyn."
"Try me, princess."
I heard what I thought was a growl as she lost her temper and lunged at me. Cole held her back with ease, using both of his hands to hold her by her waist. I didn't like that. She crossed her arms and pouted. Cole whispered something in her ear, and she giggled and kissed Cole on the cheek.
"Come by my house on Saturday. Tell Jake, Seth, and Leah to come by, too. Bring drinks. We're having a party!" she said, over her little fit.
She threw one last threatening glare at me, then skipped off excitedly. I rolled my eyes.
"You're in love with that?" I said to Cole, pointing my finger in her direction.
He glared at me.
"I'd like to be friends, but we can't be friends if you're going to disrespect Mel like that," he said. I cringed at the way he emphasized the word friends. "I'll catch you later, Ashlyn." He walked past me, his warm skin brushing against mine.
A/N
What do you think? This was just a look at Melony's life now. You'll get a lot of Flashbacks of Mel's childhood. I'll try to find a picture of how she looks and post it on my profile but I can't make any guarantees. REVIEW! Thanks, BYE!
