Sacrifice of Life Chapter 2: Flying, a twilight fanfic

Disclaimer- I don't own Twilight, Madina Lake or Evanescence, same goes for the songs.

We watched the support band. They were really good, we all hung out at the bar, keeping our heads down and trying to keep a low profile. If this didn't go off as we planned, a hoard of fans would come and trample us, and we really didn't want that.

After the supporting band were done, a big screen came down, showing a music video for one of our newest songs 'Here I Stand' I was on guitar as Michael sang. We all took our positions in the crowd. I looked around to see the crowd's reaction. They all looked pretty disappointed. I looked over at Michael, who was looking at me. I nodded. He turned to the stage, cupped his hands over his mouth and started to shout at the stage.

"Hey! We didn't come to see their music videos! We can watch them at home! We want Sacrifice! We want Sacrifice!" Everyone started to join in now.

A paid actor came onto the stage as the stage director. "Sorry guys, Sacrifice of Life couldn't make it tonight." Everyone booed him. I saw the harness being lowered for me. I quickly grabbed it and attached it to my harness belt.

"Hey!" Anna shouted to the crowds, everyone turned to see her. "Everybody look up!" She shouted. Just as they did I was hoisted above all of the crowds.

They all cheered as Michael, Anna and Carl joined me as we floated above the crowds. I laughed turning on my mic. "You didn't think we'd leave you all, did you?" I shouted to the crowds as we were lowered to the stage. We all took off the harnesses and walked to our places. "Michael I think they deserve your unique singing talents over the unique singing talents of a music video."

He smiled and took the main microphone. "Ok guys, like Bella said, we're going to play our newest number one hit. Here! I! Stand!" The crowd went wild. Anna began on the opening piano cords and then me and Carl came in with the guitar and drums until Anna began the base work. Then Michael started belting out the lyrics.

My hands shake cause today,
I know you're gonna break my heart and,
My life without you in it
Is a life thats not worth living.
I'll be strong but I wish I was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight

The crowd started going even wilder and started singing along with the chorus, with me singing backup.

Here I stand (Here I stand)
All alone, (Here I stand)
Tonight (Here I stand)
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (Here I stand)
Without you, (Here I stand)
In my life, (Here I stand)
I wish I was anyone but me.

I laughed but continued to play, loving the adrenaline rush.

So I'll start to pretend I'm ok
But you should know by now that
My life is smoke and mirrors,
The one thing is crystal clear
That I'm the one wishing I was someone else,
Anyone but me tonight

The crowd were going wild, and so were we. Anna and me were rocking out as hard as possible while holding our instruments, while Carl thrashed and smashed his drum sticks against the skins of the drums.

Then the crowd began singing backup with me.

(Where do we go?) (Where do we go?)

Inside I start to fall apart. (Where do we go?)
And I'll pretend I'm holding on (Where do we go?)
So I guess I'll bleed in silence. (In silence)
I guess I'll bleed in silence.

I looked at one cute guy in the audience, who was staring at me mesmerised. I winked at him playfully making him faint. I laughed at that.

We finished the song and let everyone clap us. I switched places with Michael. I grabbed the mic. "Give it up for Michael!" They screamed for more. "Ok, this song is, kinda related to me, but not totally. It's a song called Haunted, and it'll be on our new album." I looked to the back of the mosh pit and saw two people making out. The girl had beautiful blond hair while the guy had curly brown hair. "And it's dedicated to those two at the back of the mosh pit who are too busy sucking each others tongues to watch us!" I laughed as I nodded to Michael to start playing.

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
(I know you're still there)

The crowd loved it so I played it up more, jumping off the stage, to the barrier separating the mosh pit from the stage.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down

I continued to sing as I sang to various people in the audience. They all screamed for me as I got back onto the stage.

Hunting you, I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head

I thought it so ironic at the fact that I used some of this song as a dedication to Edward, but I'd never smell him alive.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me, watching me

I continued to sing as loud as possible, now sinking to my knees as I put as much feeling and emotion into the words as possible.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down

We finished the song. I rose to my feet smiling. I looked at the couple at the back, who were still sucking on each others tongues. I laughed. "Give it up for those guys! They're still at it! Just don't take it too far guys or else you'll be escorted out." Everyone laughed.

Just as I said that the girl turned around and glared at me. I realised who it was. Rosalie Hale. I looked at the guy and recognised him as Emmett Cullen. Well this concert was going to be fun.

"Ok guys what about another song?" They screamed in response. "Ok this one is a new one we just wrote so you guys are lucky. It's called Never Again. And by the way Emmett, could you tell Edward this one's partly dedicated to him, and if he wants to hear it, we'll be playing again tomorrow night, and he can get a ticket." I said half glaring at Emmett and Rosalie. Emmett nodded. I started smiling again. "Alright let's get this one going.

Michael started the guitar rift and began to play. This song was one I'd sing with more passion and feeling than my others. This one was part of my heart and my soul, so to speak.

A.N.- What do you guys think? I like this story. I want Bella more outgoing and very forgiving but angry at Edward. Review if you want more! Also I know it's a bit crazy having Emmett and Rosalie in the mosh pit but I was writing it as just two random people, then I thought 'Why not have it Emmett and Rosalie?' review and you'll get more. Also the song won't me sung in the next chapter, it'll be sung later when Edward's there.
