This is just a little story about Esme and Renesmee during Breaking Dawn, when all of the other vampires were coming down to help fight. This includes Taylor Swift's song "Safe and Sound."
Carlisle's POV
"I'm scared, mommy," Renesmee said to Bella as they sat together on the couch.
Esme and I were on the floor against the window across from them. Our vampire friends stood or sat in surrounding areas.
"Come here Renesmee," Esme said to the child.
She got up and crossed the room and got on my wife's lap.
"Go get your guitar, Carlisle," she whispered in my ear.
I immediately knew what she was doing. I came back and tuned the guitar.
"I am going to sing you this song that always makes me feel better when I am sad and grandpa is going to help me by providing the strings," she said calmly.
I strummed the guitar and then Esme joined in.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said,
Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Nessie laid her head on Esme's chest as she sung the song.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down,
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Esme looked over at me and gave me the "I love you smile" and I gave her the "I love you more" smile.
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
All of my vampire friends seemed at ease as Esme sang the lullaby.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down,
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
I looked over and noticed Renesmee fast asleep. Esme noticed and sang the last part a little softer.
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound. . .
Everybody either gave silent claps or nods of approval.
"That was beautiful," Carmen said, but it was Eleazar who asked "Did you write that."
Esme blushed, but looked over at me.
"No," Esme said, "My husband did. He sang it to me when I was in transition in 1921."
