AN: Hey everybody! I'm still working on "Shooting of a Vampire" don't worry, but I got this idea and I love it! Basically, each chapter is a oneshot and a songfic based on a Broadway song! Some of them will include some background information, if needed. You guys, the awesome readers, can even request songs! You can even request who you want to perform the song and what background information there is, if any! Make sense? Well, if not, I certainly have enough songfics I definitely want to do!
P.S. Do you think I can re-re-post my first songfic "A Little Fall or Rain", also known as "A New Fall of Rain" for IsabellaMarieCullen3214's challenge, in here?
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, or any of the musicals and songs presented throughout this series.
Trivia: Daisy Eagen was the youngest Tony winner ever for her portrayal as Mary in The Secret Garden
Bella's Eyes
based on
"Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden
Background Information: Bella jumped off the cliff and no one saved her. At her funeral, a young girl named Mary, the adoptive daughter of Renee and Phil, intrigues both Edward's and Jacob's curiosity.
The day was darker than usual. The rain poured non-stop through the whole service. But nobody minded, mainly because they didn't notice it; their faces were already drenched by their own tears. Sobs were heard all around. Not an eye was a dry. That is, except for the eye of Edward Cullen. If he had tears, they would've been cascading down his cheeks. But he had no tears, so all he could do was sob endlessly. As soon as Edward heard from Rosalie that Bella had killed herself, Edward had rushed to Forks to see if it was true. Alas, it was and all he could do was sob tearless sobs.
Jacob Black, on the other hand, was weeping considerably. His eyes were puffy and red and his cheeks were damp and cold. Jacob felt it was all his fault that Bella was dead. If he hadn't been such a jerk, if he had just taken her to the cliffs himself, if, if...the world was full of ifs. But none of them mattered. Isabella Swan was dead, and nothing anyone said or did could bring her back again.
As the service ended, people in black started to drift away. Some held onto others as they made their way towards their cars. Others walked stiffly and mindlessly. Edward and Jacob sat still in their seats, their minds still not understanding that their beautiful angel Bella was dead. As the two loves of Bella Swan wallowed, a young girl proceeded to stand up on a chair and yell.
"Mom? Dad? Where are you guys?" She squinted her chocolate eyes as if to see better, and brushed her mahogany hair out of the way. However, the girl started to lose her balance, and started to fall over. Not knowing what either one was doing, both Edward and Jacob jumped up from their seats to save the little girl from falling to the floor.
Edward stiffened as the young girl landed in his arms. She smelled so sweet, as sweet as...her. Her hair even had the same sweet strawberry scent to it. But her eyes seemed to be the exact duplicate of Bella's beautiful and soulful chocolate orbs. Edward could not stop gazing at this young Bella, who seemed no older than 12. A slight blush crept across her cheeks as she realized Edward was still holding her.
"Ummmmmm...you can put me down now. Or I can wait another hour or so, if that's what you want." The sudden attitude shocked Edward, and he set the young girl down. She smiled and turned towards Jacob.
Jacob was also entranced by this mini Bella. She was so alike it was maddening. Even though the girl was young, Jacob found himself thinking of her as beautiful. Her voice was just as glorious as Bella's was, and her blush sent his heart soaring. Jacob was too distracted by this young Bella to notice that he was standing right in front of her.
"Uh, can you move? You're not a very good window." The young girl said sarcastically, rolling her brown eyes. Dazed, Jacob stood aside. The girl flashed him a smile.
"Thank you." A frazzled Renee burst from the sea of people.
"Mary! Mary, there you are! Your father and I have been looking all over for you! Come along now, we have to get back to Charlie's." The young girl, now known as Mary, skipped away, took Renees hand, and disappeared from Edward and Jacob's lives. As she left, the other people seemed to vanish. Soon, only Edward and Jacob were left amongst the chairs and memories. The rain changed from a huge downpour to a light drizzle, from a storm to a light rain. Basically unaware of each other, Jacob and Edward lost themselves in the memories of Mary and Bella, and began to sing.
"Strangely quiet, but now the storm simply rests to strike again. Standing, waiting, I think of her. I think of her." Jacob's voice was surprisingly strong, despite the tears still plainly running down his face. Edward opened his mouth, and soon his melodious voice filled the air.
"Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room, yet remains, She lingers on. Something stirs me to think of her. I think of her." For a moment, both of Bella's lovers was oblivious to the other. Each was lost in their own memories, in their own love.
"From death she casts her spell, all night I hear her sighs, and now a girl has come who has her eyes. She has her eyes. The girl has Bella's chocolate eyes, those eyes that saw him happy long ago." Jacob glared at Edward when he sang this. "Those eyes that gave him life and hope he'd never known. How can he see the girl and miss those chocolate eyes?" Jacob sighed as Edward began to sing.
"She has her eyes. The girl has Bella's chocolate eyes,those eyes that closed and left me all alone." A sob racked Edward's body as he thought of this. "Those eyes, I feel, will never ever let me go! How can I see this girl who has her chocolate eyes?" Edward suddenly stood up on a chair, smiling slightly as he recalled a happy memory with Bella."In Bella's eyes a castle my house seemed to be, and I, the bravest knight, became, my lady fair was she."
Caught up with emotion, Jacob also rose and stood on a chair, parallel to Edward.
"She has her eyes. She has my Bella's chocolate eyes. Those eyes that loved that leech-never me." Jacob snarled slightly at this thought. "Those eyes that never saw me, never knew I longed to hold her close, to live at last in Bella's Eyes!" Edward laughed suddenly, recalling how lonely he was for so long.
"Imagine me, a lover!" Jacob, still lost in the memories of Bella loving only Edward, sang strongly, his voice laced with slight anger.
"I longed for the day she'd turn and see me standing there." The two loves of Bella, although each still in their own world, began to sing together. Their voice so strong, so powerful. They echoed each other, and harmonized with each other.
"Would God have let her stay!"
"She has her eyes." Jacob was suddenly interrupted as Edward's voice burst through with such emotion it was overpowering!
"She has my Bella's chocolate eyes!"
"Those eyes that saw me.." Jacob sang sadly as Edward sang, sobs causing his body to shake.
"Those eyes that first I loved so! Happy long ago." Their voices joined together in harmony again, both equally showing the amount of love they both felt for their Bella.
"How can I now forget that once I dared to be in love! To be alive and whole in Bella's eyes! In Bella's eyes!" As Jacob and Edward finished their last note, they sunk into their seats, heads in their hands, sobbing and crying endlessly. Although they each hated the other one more than anything in the world, at that moment they were thinking the same thing.
"Bella, I'm so sorry..."
AN: So, now do you understand how it works? I hope you enjoyed the first song in this series, and I hope you'll stick around for more! If you have any suggestions, please let me know! See you later!
