Chapter 11
"Before we go Chicago, who are we?" I asked the crowd. They screamed, "Burn the Match!" Our new band name is Burn the Match. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Mellisa, Mellisa Rain Wasabae. You previously knew me as Isabella, Isabella Marie Swan. My new name is an anagram of my old name. Really, try it. Zane changed my hair to a deep red color. (Read description in last chapter) My height was 5 foot 1 inch. I took the most drastic measures out of my coven to hide my identity.
Zane changed his hair to a slightly lighter shade of black and shortened his bangs. He shrunk his height about 2 inches. He did actually look different. His name is now Zach Smith.
Mandy, her full name Amanda changed her name to Amy Neil. Her hair was now a chin length light brown that attuned to her features awesomely. She kept her solid 5 foot height.
Danny now had honey colored hair, cut short at the top of his ears. He is now 5 foot 2 inches tall. His new name is Dean Miller.
Ten years ago, Edward told me why he really left me. And ever since then, I've been as confused as ever about my love life. I am still not sure if I can truly love him again. Zane, now Zach, could easily see my change in heart. We decided not to get married, not until I was sure of what I wanted. Lately it has seemed like he knows something about our relationship that I don't. But maybe that was just my paranoid in love side.
We all ran off stage. A stage-hand told us that a few people had backstage passes, and would come to our dressing room in a few minutes. We knew that 5 fans had purchased backstage passes, but we didn't know who. Zach got out his acoustic guitar and sat on the couch next to me. We liked to "practice" whenever we had guests come to meet us. Amy synchronized with me and Dean hit the beat on the wood table. We started our newer song, Here We Go Again.
I Throw All Of Your Stuff Away,
And I Clear You Out Of My Head,
I Tear You Out Of My Heart,
And Ignore All Your Messages.
I Tell Everyone We Are Threw,
Cause' I'm So Much Better Without You.
But It's Just Another
Pretty Lie,
Cause I Break Down,
Everytime You Come Around.
Ohh ooh.
The door opened,
and I heard 5 sets of feet shuffle in. I didn't look up, keeping my
concentration. I smelled the familiar scent. More vampires! They all
sat on the couch opposite us. I started to shake my hair around with
the chorus. You Never Know
What You Want,
So How Did You Get Here
Under My Skin?
I
Swore That I'd Never Let You Back In.
Should Have Known Better
Then Trying To Let You Go,
Cause Here We Go, Go, Go Again.
As Hard As I Try I Know I Can't Quit,
Something About You
Is
So Addictive.
We're Falling Together
You Think That By Now
I'd Know,
Cause Here We Go, Go, Go Again.
And You Never Say What You Mean,
But I Start
To Go Insane!
Everytime That You Look At Me.
You Only Hear
Half Of What I Say,
And You're Always Showing Up Too Late.
And
I Know That I Should Say Goodbye,
But It's No Use.
Can't Be
With Or Without You
O Oh.
I looked over at
Zach. His facial expression was one I did not expect. He looked
shocked, almost angry. I paid no mind to it, and kept going. So
How Did You Get Here And Again, And Again
Under My Skin?
I Swore That I'd Never
Let You Back In.
Should Have Known Better
Then Trying To Let
You Go,
Cause Here We Go, Go, Go Again.
As Hard As I Try I
Know I Can't Quit,
Something About You
Is So Addictive.
We're Falling Together
You Think That By Now I'd Know,
Cause
Here We Go, Go, Go Again.
And Again!
And Again, And Again I Threw All Of Your Stuff Away. So How Did You Get Here Here we go again.
Here we go again.
And
Again!
And I Cleared You
Right Out Of My Head
And I Tore You Out Of My Heart.
O Oh
O
Oh
Under My Skin?
I Swore
That I'd Never Let You Back In.
Should Have Known Better
Than
Trying To Let You Go,
Cause Here We Go, Go, Go again.
As Hard
As I Try I Know I Can't Quit
Something About You
Is So
Addictive.
We're Falling
Together
You Think That
By
Now I'd Know,
Cause Here We
Go, Go.
Should've Known Better
Than Trying To Let
You Go!
Cause' Here We Go.
Go, Go, again!
Again, And
Again.
And Again, And Again.
And Again X2
"That was wonderful," a smooth voice said from in front of me. I smiled before looking forward. I struggled to keep my mouth from dropping open. Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie sat before me.
"Hi! It's nice to see you again!" Alice chirped. What? She knows who I am? I started to panic. But then she added, "Zane, and I assume this is Mandy and Danny. Where is Bella?" I mentally sighed in relief. I saw how they could recognize Zane, or Zach, and then conclude that the other two were here. I held myself down from jumping in glee. My disguise is working!
"Hello, I'm Mellisa, Mellisa Rain Wasabae. It is very nice to meet you all. I guess since I never knew her, I should be the bearer of bad news to you," I told Alice. She was puzzled. "I've heard much about you all. From what has met my ears, Bella was killed by two vampires out for revenge. Victoria and Laurent, I think were their names. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I never met her, but I have heard very nice things about her." I was glad that I could fabricate my story easily. But I was not happy to see the looks on their faces. I truly looked at all of their faces; all variations of pain, heartbreak, and sadness. Edwards' shoulders shook. I wanted so badly to reach out, hold him, and show them all that I was still here and I was fine.
"We were all affected by her loss, but now that we are here, how about we go around and tell our stories," Amy said, uncomfortable with the dead silence. "We will start with… me, I guess. Well, I now go by Amy Neil. I was turned into a vampire when I was 20. The one that changed me also changed Dean. We were in a fatal car crash. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit us head on. Dean and I have been vampires for about 60 years now. He and I were already together before we were changed and we still are," she squeezed Dean's shoulder.
"Alright, I guess I'll go next," Dean said, "My story really isn't that much different. As you know I was killed in a car crash, and then turned. When we both woke up, the vampire was long gone. I was changed a few days after my 21st birthday." Zane prepared to start his.
"Me next!" Alice squealed. I looked at her oddly. "What, I want to go before you all say yours. Well, I was 17 when I was changed ( A/N: I think that's it, I'm too lazy to go and look). I was attacked by a vampire named James. I do not remember anything of my human life. But I did find out that my human name was Mary Alice Brandon, and I had a sister. I am a psychic." Poor Alice. I felt so bad. Jasper went next, then Emmet, Rosalie, and Edward. He included all of what happened between him and I.
Zane started his story. "I was changed about 45 years ago. 5 years after my change, I ran into Isabella. I changed her completely on accident. When I was human, I had a mother, but my father left us when I was just 2 years old. I went to a party and soon was drunk out of my mind. A woman came up behind me, and the next thing I knew I was burning from the inside out." I patted his back. We all knew, unfortunately, what the burning was like.
"Okay, what about you, Mellisa?" Alice asked.

Sorry about the wait. Lately I've been having so many other ideas for more stories, and trying to write those down before I forget, which is the reason I've been going so slowly with this one.
