CROSSOVER: Xiaolin Shodown (Well, Chase is an XS character) and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. (How did I end up doing this again??)
"What are we doing here?" I demanded.
We had materialised in Port Angeles, Seattle, North America. Chase had somehow managed to acquire a sleek black motorcycle and a couple of helmets. We had ridden at break-neck speed to a stadium.
"I had tickets." Chase replied innocently.
"What to?"
"A concert. Now shush." He grabbed a hand and pulled me towards the entrance.
"It's a fairly unknown band," Chase said. "I thought you would like to come."
"It's not as if I had a choice," I shot back. He just laughed and pulled me to one of the seats in the front. We sat next to two incredibly pale teenagers; a boy with untidy bronze hair and a girl with a waterfall of ebony hair. They were so caught up with each other's presence they didn't notice Chase and I next to them.
Chase snickered quietly. "Do you mind?"
The boy broke away from the girl, irritation crossing his face. I realised now the two of them had unbelivable beautiful features.
"I'm sorry," he said tensely.
"Edward, don't - " The girl tugged at his sleeve as Chase and Edward glared at each other.
We were saved by the band.
"Boys and girls, I give you - My Chemical Romance!"
I glanced around. The stadium was only half-full, and it wasn't a big one either. Chase had been right about fairly unkown. The audience seemed to be completely made of teenagers and young adults, dressed entirely in black. There were enough flaming skulls to make one think of hell.
"Well, how y'all doing Port Angeles!" The audience erupted with cheers.
The speaker was, of course, dressed in black, and had an intense stare that felt as if he were looking and addressing me directly.
"We're My Chemical Romance!"
Another round of cheers.
"Thank y'all for coming tonight. I promise y'all, we're going to fuck you all so hard you won't be able to stand striaght tomorrow!" He made a discreet hand signal and the drummer started tapping out a steady beat while the guitarists plucked a soft melody.
"Vampires will never hurt you," the singer crooned into the mike and began to sing.
I felt the girl next to me stiffen at the title, then a slow smile spread across her perfect face.
And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and
The lyrics were beautiful...
I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you now tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise
It ended with a poignant note and ghostly whispers...
Drowning Lessons.
Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again
Tomorrow we'll do it again
This is how I Disappear.
That without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone
Forever now
And without you is how I disappear
And live my life alone
Forever now
Can you hear me cry out to you?
Words I thought I'd choke on
Figure out
I'm really not so with you anymore
I'm just a ghost
So I can't hurt you anymore
So I can't hurt you anymore
The singer paused and I gave Chase a kiss on the cheek. "That was great."
He smiled. "In future, trust me."
"I will," I said and added "Maybe."
"Would those two ladies come out?" the singer asked.
Who? I looked around then back at the stage, only to see the singer was staring at the girl... And me.
"Yes, you two," he said. I flushed.
"Go," Chase hissed, giving me a shove. I glared at him and he smiled.

"So, what's your names?"
"Bella."
"Eva," I replied, fuming. Hey, if I were to kill them all now, they won't be able to write new songs right? So just bear with this...
"And your... Friends?"
What?
Bella grinned. "Edward."
They (And the rest of the stadium) stared at me. "Chase," I said, flushing a deeper scarlet.
"Right. For Chase and Eva, Bella and Edward, Demolition Lovers."
Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then Id say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
Id end my days with you in a hail of bullets
Im trying, Im trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like theres nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and well keep it running
But this time, I mean it
Ill let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
Im trying, Im trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the end, until this pool of blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
Im trying, Im trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, well show them
Well show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame were burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you youre the only one
Like a bed of roses theres a dozen reasons in this gun
And as were falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as were touching hands, and as were falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as were falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
I saw Chase meaningful look at me as the song ended apruptly. This was the one he wanted me to hear. I wondered if he had set it up with the band. It was a possiblity.
Edward was grinning at Bella, but he kept sneaking furtive glances at Chase; a flash of suspicion, only to be quickly replaced by a blank look. I was pretty sure Chase had seen it too, from the way his jaw tightened.
"Thank you! Thank you Port Angeles!" the singer yelled. "So long, and goodnight!"
Chase pulled at my sleeve. "Eva, have you noticed something since we stepped in here?"
I frowned. "You mean... A presence trying... Trying to enter my mind?"
He nodded. "I thought it was my imagination at first... And I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that Edward."
I shifted my senses, feeling for the vibrations that marked a living being; the beating of the heart. Something was very wrong here.
"They don't have a heartbeat!" I gasped. "But - "
"Why don't we go ask them?"

Author's Comments: Why the heck isn't the spacing and page break working properly?
Title is, of course, taken from MCR's song "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" and "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)". The thing about Vampires Will Never Hurt You is this line "I'll never let them hurt you, I promise" which is what inspired me to put that "I Promise" thing
This takes some place in between Chapter 12 and the Epilogue of Remember Me. I think I did a little more character development on Chase, and why he killed her here. (Oops, that's already a spoiler...)
This is my tribute to MCR, thanks for inspiring me so much! Next time they come to Singapore I WILL stay backstage, up till the next morning if I have to!! Hopefully, I can drive by then, and I'll be able to
I started writing this last year, a few days before the MCR concert. My friend has written (and never completed) a fic about Edward and Bella going to an MCR concert, and since MCR has inspired many of my drawings of Chase and Eva, I did a crossover with my friend's fic. I planned to make Chase kill Edward, and Bella was still human then, then handed the incomplete version to my friend, and she yelled at me for destroying a story with so much potential. (By the way "we're going to fuck you all so hard you won't be able to stand striaght tomorrow" was what Gerad said during the concert.)
Chase is owned by Christy Hui, and all other characters (Except Eva, I own her) is owned by Stephenie Meyer. All lyrics are by My Chemical Romance, from their first album "I Brought You My Bulllets, You Brought Me Your Love." "This is How I Disappear" is from the third album "The Black Parade". I'm kinda sorta basing this before MCR adapted to the mainstream... And got really popular... But I couldn't resist putting "This is How I Disappear"... It's inspired me a lot.
