Chapter 4: Lullaby

Disclaimer: I think you get it by now, but I don't own the Twilight Saga characters. I ALSO don't own the song. If you want to look it up, it's Lullaby by Mandah. It's most popularly known for being Jigglypuff's song in the first ever Pokemon movie.

Elta walked through the doors into that circular room that was already starting to give her waking nightmares. The head demon smiled as he went forward to greet her, placing a hand upon her shoulder once again. What the hell is this guy's problem? Ella thought, Why's he always gotta touch me when we're talking?

"Well, well, my dear Elta. It seems you are smarter than I pegged you for. No, we're not demons per se, but vampires. That is the aspect in which you are correct. And your correctivity is a troubling problem in the outcome of your survival. What shall we do with you?" he said, shaking his head. "Any opinions?" he asked the room. A small vampire, looking the little boy's twin, raised her hand politely. "Yes, Jane?" the vampire questioned.

"Seeing as she knows the secret, our only option is to kill and possibly drink. Unless, Aro, there is any reason to find her suitable as an immortal," the small girl named Jane said, her eyes boring into Elta with intensity. The vampire named Aro considered this possibility.

"Well, Elta, is there anything special you've ever been able to do?" he asked her. Elta considered this. "Something, oh I don't know supernatural?" he said. Elta shook her head. Then she remembered something.

"When I sing, everyone just stops. They become calm and forget their problems. They almost forget what they were going to do," she confessed, hoping it would be enough to save her life. Aro's eyebrows shot up, but he saw in her the truth.

"Demonstrate for us, if you would," Aro commanded. Elta shied away.

"I don't know if it would work for non-humans," she said, hoping it wasn't going to cost her.

"Fair enough. Alec, go get Gianna. Tell her that the time has come," he said as he motioned for the small vampire. Alec nodded and left the room. Moments later, he returned with Gianna who looked as frightened as possible. Aro nodded in Elta's direction. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, getting ready to sing:

Just cause I'm small
Can't hurt you at all
I'm only a girl, what to do?
Let me sing my song for you

Not many can
Resist my command
I know just how to get to you
Let me sing my song for you

When you lay down late at night
I'm the siren you can't fight
I know you don't stand a chance
There's nothing you can do
Once I put my spell on you
When I sing my lullaby...

Lullaby...
Lullaby...
Lullaby...
When I sing for you my lullaby

Now that you've seen
It wasn't a dream
I ran you behind the questioning
Told you boy, I would come after you

Now it's too late
Can't hesitate
Can't hide a shade of danger full
Watch out boy, I'm coming for you

When you lay down late at night
I'm the siren you can't fight
I know you don't stand a chance, boy
There's nothing you can do
Once I put my spell on you
When I sing my lullaby...

Lullaby...
Lullaby...
Lullaby...
When I sing for you my lullaby

In your sleep
It's got you so deep,
My sweet melody
Has captured you forever more...

Lullaby...
Lullaby...
Lullaby...
When I sing for you my lullaby
Sing my lullaby...

When you lay down late at night
I'm the siren you can't fight
I know you don't stand a chance
There's nothing you can do
Once I put my spell on you
When I sing my lullaby...

Sing my lullaby

When Elta opened her eyes, Gianna sat on the floor, her eyes open, and her face calm. Aro looked from Gianna to Elta with a scheming expression on his face.

"Impressive," he said, "very impressive."
