I do not own Twilight or the songs, just the story line
Chapter 6
Italy 2018
Bella's POV
A lot has changed since I first came back to Italy. Alec and I are still dating as strong as ever. We have been together for 7 years now which is like nothing in vampire time. I have also taken on more of my role as princess of the Volturi. I have helped make decisions with Uncle Aro and the other kings. Uncle Aro has even allowed The Revenge to go public. We were almost immediately picked up by a record label. I changed my appearance again for the band image because I don't want the Cullen's catching on to who I really am. I now have the classic animal diet gold eyes and black hair with blonde highlights and changed my name to IsaBelle. We have done countless concerts and tours. We even have three albums for sale and are working on our fourth. We go on yet another tour in a months' time and I am so excited I feel like this will be the best yet.
Alice's POV Portland, Oregon
It has been 8 years since we have left Bella in Forks Washington. At first, we went to visit our cousins, the Denali's in Alaska. Edward decided that he needed to be with a vampire instead of a human. He started to date Tanya Denali. The family hates her, we all rather be back with Bella, but we blew our chances with her. She would be 30 years old now probably with her own family with a husband and children. Edward has just proposed to Tanya against the ideals of the family. I was in the car on the way back home from some retail therapy when this new band came on. The song was amazing. The lead singers voice sounds like birds. I must go home and research the band; The Revenge.
I immediately ran up to the computer to look up more songs about this new band. I found this one song that I was about to listen to when I noticed that the lead singer had gold eyes. I decided to look closer at the band and realized that three of the members were Jane, Alec, and Demetri from the Volturi. I called the entire family to the living room to show them this new vampire band and to play them the song I was about to listen to.
Broken & Beautiful by Kelly Clarkson
I never held my hand out and asked for something free
I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me
I don't need your help, and I don't need sympathy
I don't need you to lower the bar for me
I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong
I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along
I'm phenomenal and I'm enough
I don't need you to tell me who to be
Can someone just hold me?
Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing
Can someone just know me?
'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
We're walking on the ocean, turning water into wine
We bury our emotion and pretend that we're just fine
The only way to live now is to know you're gonna fly
Don't listen to the lying liars and their lies
I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong
I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along
I'm phenomenal, I'm enough
I don't need you to tell me who to be
Can someone just hold me?
Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing
Can someone just know me?
'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful
Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful (oh)
I'm tired (oh)
Can I just be tired? (just be tired)
Without piling on all sad and scared and out of time (oh)
I'm wild (wild)
Can I just be wild? (just be wild)
Without feeling like I'm failing and I'm losing my mind
Can someone just hold me?
Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing
Oh, someone just know me
'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
I'm broken and it's beautiful
It's beautiful, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)
It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful
It's beautiful, yeah, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)
It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful
I feel like the lead singer looks familiar. Her name is IsaBelle, but it cannot be our Bella as she would be 30 and the lead looks no older than when we would have left her. I asked the family what they thought, and they all agreed that they are good, but are surprised that Aro would allow vampires to go that public. Let alone three of his best fighters. The only one that did not like the music was Tanya, but she doesn't like anything. I asked the family if they thought the lead looked familiar and they all agree on that as well. They ask her name and when I said IsaBelle they seemed just as shocked. I immediately look to see how the band is and I found that they will be touring next month and one of the stops is here in Portland. I told the family and they all wanted to go to the concert. I bought the whole family including Tanya against her will a VIP pass to the concert.
Bella's POV
This tour has been amazing so far. We have one last stop of the tour in Portland, Oregon. I am super excited for this show because we have sold 8 VIP tickets. This is the most VIP tickets we have ever sold for one show. I am kind of hopeful that it is the Cullen's so that I can rub in their face how wonderful my life is going. I want to show my father that I am better than him, that I never needed him, but I know that it is only wishful thinking. I mean if they realized that I am the same Bella that they left, wouldn't they have tracked me down sooner. Plus, there are 8 tickets, the Cullen's would only need 7. I just really want the opportunity to show the Cullen's that I am not the weak human that they left behind. That Carlisle left behind twice. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
