Chapter Four: Sweet Revenge's First Appearance

(Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of Stephanie Meyer's character; however, there are a few original characters in this story. I also do not own any music in this chapter.)

(Bella's POV)

I walked downstairs the next day after spending almost eight hours just writing different songs. Derik, Rachel, and Alex looked at me when I walked in and I sauntered toward them.

"I wrote some songs last night," I told them proud of myself for being good at yet another thing.

"Cool what are they called?" Rachel asked me.

"Well there is: The Promise, Angels, Memories, It's The Fear, Somewhere, Bittersweet, Stand My Ground, Caged, Deceiver Of Fools, and Dark Wings."

"Really got to writing didn't you?" Alex asked me.

I looked at him with a look that clearly stated you try seeing your true love for the first time in over two hundred years and then he wants you back. I wanted to get up and slap him but instead I stayed in my spot and just pulled out some of the lyrics I wrote, and I set them on the coffee table in front of us.

"Look, I really want to perform Angels, Bittersweet, and The Promise first. They have more of the emotions that I want people to see and feel," I stated.

"Ok, we can go down to the basement and practice these then," Derik announced. "HEAD OUT."

With that said, they all made their way to the basement to practice.

Three Hours Later

"Dang, this is frustrating," Alex yelled. "Bella, can we quit yet?"

"Yes. I believe that we can. We have the songs perfectly so I see no problem in quitting for today."

"So when are we going to perform these wonderful songs?" Rachel asked from across the basement.

"I was thinking that we could sign up for the Battle of the Bands coming up at Riley's bar this weekend," I explained.

"Well that would be interesting."

"So are we going to do this?" Derik and Alex asked impatiently.

"I do believe so my dear brothers, I do believe so," I answered with a smirk growing on my face.

The Next Day at Riley's Bar

"Hey Riley, where is the sign up sheet for the Battle of the Bands this weekend," Rachel yelled over the bar.

"Hold on, it is on my desk," Riley answered.

"Can do."

"Here you go Ray. Why do you need the sheet anyway?"

"Well Riley, Bella had this lovely idea to start a band and now we are Sweet Revenge."

"Rach, don't give me all the credit. It was an idea that I thought that all of us would like," I alleged.

"Bella you know it's true so don't even try to deny it," Riley and Rachel told her.

"Hey Riley, do you think that we can do a few shows before so we can have a little practice with crowds," I asked with my cute pouty look on my face.

"Oh god, not the pouty look. Bella you know that I can not resist that," Riley admittedly said. "Fine Bella but I am warning you. This here is a tough crowd."

"Don't worry. I know that we will have the crowd begging for more," Rachel threw over her shoulder.

Rachel and I made our way over to Derik and Alex. Then I had a sudden brilliant idea, and I whipped out my phone.

"Hey Alice, get everyone to come to Riley's Bar for the show tonight." Silence. "Ok thanks. Bye." I shut the phone. "Edward eat your heart out."

Thirty Minutes Later

Derik, Rachel, Alex, and I all felt the Cullen's auras as they entered the club. I looked over at Riley and nodded to him so he could introduce us to the audience.

"Ladies and Gents, it is a great honor for me to present Sweet Revenge," I heard Riley yell though the microphone.

I looked over a Rachel, Alex, and Derik. They looked back. Slowly we made our way onto the stage. We all grabbed our instruments and I took my place at the mic.

"This is our song Angels. I hope you like it," I stated to the crowd in front of me.

I slowly looked back at Derik, Rachel, and Alex and nodded telling them to start. As the music slowly came to the part my part, I closed my eyes and opened my mouth and I sang the words with as much feeling that I could muster without giving it all away.

"Sparkling angel I believed
You are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels;
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.

You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you;
It doesn't give you a reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.

You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end."

I opened my eyes to look at the crowd that stood before me. They all seemed to be shocked that I had that much emotion hidden inside of me. I looked over to where Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper stood and witnessed the look of absolute horror on Edward's face. I could tell that he knew I was singing about him and the way that he left me. I pulled my eyes away from the crowd and looked back at Rachel, Alex, and Derik and I saw the same look in their eyes that the audience held. I turned back toward the crowd and closed my eyes once more.

"This next song is called The Promise," I told them turning my head toward Derik, Rachel, and Alex and nodding my head. I turn back toward the crowd eyes still closed. The intro ended and I opened my mouth to sing.

"On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life no longer had meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away

I held you tight to me
But you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed, I believed

After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed at my feet

Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known their true intentions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised"

I opened my eyes once again to see the shocked expressions; however, this time instead of ignoring them I spoke in to the mic.

"Thank you. We are Sweet Revenge. Goodnight."

The crowd went wild wanting an encore. We ignored it, grabbed our stuff, and walked outside to our cars. We left there with the Cullen's and Riley still inside in a voiceless stupor.

As we left I thought of the look on Edward's face. I then dreaded going to school the next day in fear of what Edward might do now that I started to get my sweet, sweet revenge.
