Okay, I know that I said that this chapter was supposed to be about Melody's past, but I had to clear up some confusions that may occur. So her past will be revealed in the next chapter. OH and I am so so so so sorry about the wait for the chapter, my internet was off, and my mom took mad long to get it back on, because we are practically poor, and I mean like pre - J.K. Rowling poor, no offense to fans or the lady herself. But anyway, I wrote a lot of chapters to follow this one, and her past was really fun to write, (yes, this is an adding, I wrote this little entry thing before. So starting from where I wrote OH, I am currently finishing up chapter 15.) So please take a these chapters as my apology and expect a really fun story. Lots of drama to feed all of your desires. =)
"Beth, are the Cullens coming over again tonight?" I asked her.
"Yes, we have to tell them the truth. The public story won't work with them if we want them to truely trust us." She said seriously.
"So we're gonna be good people now?" Derrik asked innocently, walking through the front door with the rest of my siblings behind him. I was sitting in the same chair I had when the entire Cullen coven came to talk, but nowmy family just floated around.
"We have to. We tried not to think about it with them around becasue of Edward, but they know that something is up. We can trust them to keep our secret."
"I forgot." Skylar said. "Why is her past so secret?"
"If others had found out about her then she would be in a lot of trouble with the Volturi. We aren't allowed to get involved with human issues, but she broke that rule. Not only that but she threatened to expose vampires to humans. Her past comrads had protected her so she wouldn't die, so we have to honor that and stay true to it. The volturi would come and exterminate not only Melody but all of us as well."
"I don't know about that. I have learned a lot from the Cullens, especially Edward and Carlisle." John said as he came down the staircase. "I learned from them that the Volturi would do anything to preserve a gift, if it were possible. I'm sure that they'd do anything to persuade us to join them."
"Oh well, let's not panic about the future and worry about the present." Tiffany suggested. "We need to figure out how much of the past we're going to tell the Cullens."
"We have to tell them about Max and Cynthia, those two are the whole reason that I'm still here."
"Yes, and what about Glen?" Beth asked.
"Yes, he was part of my former coven as well, he needs his name cleared." I said. (Okay, I know you guys are confused right now, but you'll understand soon, just keep reading.)
"So, they're pretty much going to know about as much as us. Well, Edward will know more than even us since he can read your mind. But I'm sure that you'll tell him not to tell us." Derrik sneered.
"Sorry guys, but some things are better left unsaid." I told them sadly. I ddn't like having to keep secrets from my family, but some things are just too private to say out loud. I just couldn't tell them the whole story.
"Yes, we know." John said before Derrik could comment, but he took advantage of my mind reading. Even if he's not family to you.
"Families are tied by blood." I narrowed my eyes. So are vampires. "He's a vampire too." A hiss escaped through his clenched teeth.
"Enough." John stopped our conversation and our gaze snapped to him immedietly. "So, they will know everything that Melody permits, with the exception of Edward."
His gaze shot to Derrik. I stuck my tongue out breifly before John could realize. Derrik hissed again before escaping out the back door. Hilary gave me an apologetic/warning look before chasing after him. John looked back at me. "Alright, let's prepare for their arrival."
"Which means that I need to call Esme and invite her over early so we can prepare a meal for Mel and Bella." Beth left to go call Esme.
"And you will be the one to explain to them, since it is YOUR past. Got get your story straight." John ordered.
"Okay." I went upstairs to figure out what I was going to tell them. I looked at my alarm clock, it said 11:00 pm. The Cullens would be here in an hour, so I had to get my facts straight quickly.
12:00 am, the Cullens were just pulling into the driveway. I sat in my usual seat, this time Derrik was standing behind the chair. But now my family was a bit more trusting of the Cullens, so they weren't as close to me as before. Emmet welcomed himself in and his family followed him.
"I wonder why knocking was invented." I muttered, Emmet chuckled as he plopped into the couch next to my chair.
"Alright, why did you call us here?" Rosalie asked, a bit uninterested. Don't mind her. Esme's voice rang in my head like a bell. I gave her a warm smile before turning my attention to Edward. Bella had taken a seat in between Emmet and Alice, Edward was standing behind her.
"They called us here to tell us the truth." Edward answered for me.
"What truth?" Rose's ears were perked now. Gossip whore. Language. He warned me. Sorry. I apologized. "What truth?" Rose persisted.
I cleared my throat, catching everyone's attention. "We haven't been completely truthful with you. It wasn't because we didn't trust you guys, it was because it was a bit private for me."
"I don't get it." She said, sitting on the couch's arm next to Emmet, he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"We had told you that I was attacked by a stray vampire, and it was killed by my family, right."
"Yeah, that's what we were told." Jasper said.
"And I heard in Edward's mind the other day that the you guys were talking about the incedent where a coven of 4 vampires had stuck their noses into the affairs of humans."
"Yeah, and the coven was destroyed by the Volturi for breaking the rules." To anyone else, it looked like I was only talking to Jasper, because it was only he and I that added to the conversation. My family knew all of this already. Beth and John started to talk about his job at the hospital, Derrik left to hunt a little in the forest with Skylar since Hilary was here, but Hilary and Tiffany still listened to the story. Tiffany loved to hear this story, so I wasn't surprised that she stayed. But Hilary only stayed because she still didn't trust the Cullens completely.
"Yes. But only 3 of them were killed." I said.
"The other one was young, both in human and vampire years, but he was gifted, so they let him survive." Jasper continued my sentence.
"Her." Tiffany corrected. "And you're about to listen to the truth about her past." The Cullens stared disbelievingly at me.
"Yes, I was the missing member of that coven. It was me, Glen, Max and Cynthia."
"I see. And you were neither trustworthy to keep the secret or young enough to be considered an immortal child. But it had been told that the other member was a little boy, not a girl." Jaser said.
"Well, it had been told wrong, for I have no penis." Emmet boomed out laughing. "Anyway. Yes, I was changed 7 years ago. And yes, I was changed during summer camp. But I wasn't changed by just any vampire, and I hadn't met the Haul coven until about 3 years after I was changed."
"Alright, why don't you start from the beginning, summer camp." Jasper suggested.
"Gladly."
Alright, now that that's over, the next chapter is for sure Melody's past. How do I know?, because I already wrote it. Hope you like this and that. =)
