Authors note- this is why we shouldn't argue for fun.

They had moved to the backyard once Angela had started to sing, she sounded like someone dragging their nails across a chalk board, but of course Teddy loved it. He kept clapping his hands and giggling. He also kept making babbling noises as if he was singing along to the song.
But still it had been a hard two weeks, and they could use the break. But not her singing.
They wouldn't even use it for torture because it was that bad.
Still the fire was going, glasses of lemonade were in their hands as they tried to drown out her singing. John had his hands clasped over his head, his glass of lemonade sat on the floor long forgotten.
Liz wanted to shoot her to make it stop, but she knew that it wouldn't be appreciated, not in the slightest.
For Katherine and Caroline it was pure hell, every time she hit the wrong note it caused their eardrums to bleed (this is not exaggerated, with how sensitive their hearing is) but it was still better than brooding all day (they did not want to turn into Stefan).
Sarah was sat at the fire tuning a guitar, she looked at Harry who nodded, they wanted to beat her and the only way to do that?
By singing.
Harry took a deep breath and began in a soft tenor.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall profess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace. "
By the end of the song, the yard was quiet. Liz, Bonnie and Caroline looked close to tears. Their eyes had a thin veil of suppressed tears, John was stood openly gaping at Harry he had no idea that Harry could sing.
"Well that beats my song."
They all turned around and found Angela stood at the doorway with Teddy on her hip, soon they were all sat around the fire picking out songs to sing, Katherine looked up as she asked
"Can anyone sing Let It Be by the Beatles?"
They all shared a look, they knew the song but they didn't have anything other than an guitar, and they knew for a fine fact that the song required a piano. But it was still worth a shot, after all the night had been filled with old memories and new ones being made. Sarah opened her mouth and sang in a deep voice
"When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. "
As the last note died off Bonnie was sobbing in Caroline's arms, John was holding onto Liz as they swayed to the song. Harry had took Teddy off his aunt and gently rocked him in his arms, Angela had her arms wrapped around Katherine as the two danced to the tune of the song. They had all learned new things about each other and the night was one for bonding, they were misfits, they shouldn't fit together but they did.
They shouldn't of became a family, with how different they all were. They should of pushed each other away not attracted each other. But as the night continued on and the songs kept coming, they all knew one thing that was true.
They were family, they would kill to keep each other safe and the rest of the world could burn for all they cared.
Sarah cleared her throat as she asked
"Any more requests or will someone else sing?"
John cleared his throat and they looked at him he shifted for a few moments, as he spoke
"This song reminds me of what I wanted to do before I met you all."
He took a breath and steeled his nerves, he hadn't sang in years. Not since he had sung to Isobel underneath her bedroom widow.
" I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.
But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free.
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free. "
By the end of the song they were all singing along, even Angela who should have been banned from singing. Their voices didn't go, they all sang on different notes and pitches, but they didn't care. Teddy clapped his hands as they continued to sing, in tune and out of tune.
And when they all finished they burst into laughter.
They may not of repelled each other but rather attracted each other, they maybe two vampires, one wiccan, three wand wielders, a second generation werewolf and two vampire hunters.
They may fight, bicker and quarrel. But if they had to chose between the world and their family?
Then the whole world would burn. While they stood there and watched.
