You have BellandEdward4Evr to thank for this chappie. She helped me think of the idea for it. All the characters are people I know in real life, except for Raphael. Tori is actually my inspiration for Toni. This makes no sense now, but it will.
Bella POV
After his tail was set and Burdock root pulp was rubbed into his cuts to prevent infection, we settled down to begin the story.
"So how old are you kid?" Zack drawled. The boy looked up in disgust. Ok, he was older than 10. That's for sure. No kid below 10 would be annoyed by being called kid.
"I'm a freshman in college! I'm older than you. Yes, I know who you are Fallen Four, international rock band. Isabella, a.k.a Abandoned, bassist. Jessi, a.k.a. Forsaken, lead vocalist, also you share that title with Isabella. Cody, a.k.a. Demon, Drummer. Zack, a.k.a. Possessed, guitarist," The guy snarled at Zack. We all looked at him in shock.
"So, what's your name and how did you end up so torn up?" Jessi whispered. He looked away and his eyes went misty.
"Toni and I ... Oh god! Toni! How could I forget about her? I gotta go find her! Let me outta here! She's with one of those beasts!" He flailed around helplessly while we held him down. I heard Ashley outside gasping for breath. She was almost like Jasper, but her power also held a twist of Aro's. She could feel how someone was feeling and also know every piece information about your life.
"His name is Eric. He was traveling with another jaguar when they came up on a red-eyed vampire. Toni didn't like the thought of letting him run around killing humans, so we attacked," Ashley said. She tended to talk like she was the one living it when she read people. "He bit me and broke bones, so Toni sent me away. She knew The Fallen Four were in town and wanted me to find them. Then I found Abandoned with a bloodsucker, being friendly.
"I wanted so badly to attack it, but I needed Abandoned's help. Toni was in trouble. Where is Toni? I have to find her. I promised him I'd look after her." Ashley was hyperventilating again. I could hear Chrissy and the others comforting her. Telling her to return to her own body.
"What the hell is that leech doing? I never said anything to her about Toni! She can't know that stuff!" Eric raged. Ashley had become herself again and was edging into the room. He fixed his intense glare onto her. She shook like a leaf under the power.
"Leave her alone! Its her power." Cody said angrily. Eric looked between the two. In complete shock. Did he like Ashley?
"Good god! Leeches just keep throwing things in our faces. First the stupid shape shifting, now they can tell everything about you."
"Vampires have powers that are unique to each. Ashley's power is unique to her, as was the vampire you and your friend encountered tonight," I informed. He looked up at me. He was shocked people were standing up to him.
"Oh. Why are their eyes golden? I've only seen red eyes."
"They're diet is different from the normal vampire. They drink only the blood of animals. They're good people." I retorted, but as he heard their diet he paled. I understood his fear, we were part animal.
"They won't drink from a shifter," I told him to assuage his fears. He started to relax a little. His hackles beginning to lie flat.
"Keep the ones who can't control themselves away from me."
"I'll make sure they stay away," Ashley said timidly. She scurried out the door and I heard her telling Jasper and Chrissy to go hunting. Eric looked after her.
"Who is she?" He asked in wonder. I expected Cody to begin growling in contempt at the jaguar. He was asking about Cody's girlfriend.
"That's Ashley Decoudres. She's well, Chrissy's sister and gets along really well with everyone. Her power is being able to feel emotions and able to see your past," Cody told him. Not once mentioning their bond. Did they break up without telling us?
"Christina is Zack's fiancé and was dragged here by Ashley. Chrissy and Zack are having their wedding sometime before the tour ends," Jessi added. Eric looked up in disgust.
"Jaguars and vampires? Together?"
"That's actually what we were ... I guess made would be the right word - what we were made to do. Be companions to vampires, but our race died out for the most part," I interjected.
"I assume you know our real names Eric. Feel free to use whatever you're most comfortable with," Zack said graciously. He had begun to change ever so slightly since Chrissy joined us.
"Sure. Is Ashley okay? I didn't mean to upset her," Eric wondered. Jessi got up and moved at blinding speed to the door. She pulled it open quickly and snarled when Chrissy, Ashley, Alice, and Edward fell into the room.
"Hello Eric. My name's Alice! We're going to be great friends. This is Christina, Zack's fiancé. Edward is Bella's fiancé. Ashley is Christina's sister and sitter," Alice sang. She giggled when Chrissy looked up from the floor in disgust.
"I don't neeeeed a sitter Alice. I'm perfectly capable of not being jailed without her! Like that time I was alone while ... no, they got me for disturbing the peace. Wait, there was that one ... no, that one I got arrested for 'viciously' attacking three year olds for their candy. Hell, I can't think of a single one," Chrissy said, anguished.
"Its okay Chrissy! I'll continue to look out for you," Ashley teased. Eric stared at her. Zack stood up and grabbed Chrissy around the waist, his lips immediately finding their way to hers. Edward stood up as well and made his way to me. Hugging me tightly he whispered faintly in my ear.
"Love, do you not have a concert to attend? A very special concert?"
"Crap! Jessi, Chrissy, Ashley, Alice! Concert! Wedding! Preparations! Now! Guys you need to hurry too! We only have a few hours!" I screamed out. Immediately everyone but Eric was in a flurry of activity that was heading to the door.
"Eric! Stay here and rest, don't open the door for anyone," Jessi barked. He started at her sudden hostile tone and nodded. Smart guy, don't mess with a girl on her wedding day. We left and arrived at the theater we were playing at.
Hours of getting ready to play/be married
We were all standing in front of a very excited crowd. Jessi was backstage in her lovely wedding gown, ready to rip it off as soon as they were pronounced husband and wife. I was up on stage with my bas around my neck and sound guys adjusting the mikes to my level and Zack's.
I was wearing a black button up shirt that looked slightly prep school with a red plaid tie. Completing my punk school girl look was a red plaid miniskirt.
Zack was wearing red skinny jeans with a silk black button up. He had on a red tie too. Cody was less dressy with baggy black cargos. His shirt was a silk red button up. Cody was going for the different look and didn't have on a tie. Edward, who had been playing keyboards for us lately, Was wearing black skinny jeans a red silk button up and a black tie.
"Hello England! You know us, Fallen Four, but wait isn't there a Fallen Angel missing from the stage?" I asked the audience. I received some boos and 'we want Forsaken's.
"Forsaken is backstage preparing for a very special event, but we promise to make up for her absence. So how about some music?" Zack asked. The crowd went wild and Cody started a beat.
"How about 'Missing'? Will that help?" I asked. The crowed cheered again, so I signaled for Zack to begin, as well as Edward.
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious, you'll say to no one
"Isn't something missing??
So many days, I longed to know if he was thinking about me. If he was dying inside, as I was.
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Was my love for him so insignificant to him that he could throw it away in the blink of an eye? Was anyone missing something? Missing us, me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
I would've go to the ends of the earth, sacrificedmyself, just to hear him say those words to me.
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Even though I'm the sacrificeYou won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
I didn't believe he would care if I lived or died. If I bleed from wounds self-inflicted or otherwise.
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
The crowd was wild with pure joy. I looked and smiled at Edward and watched as the look of remorse on faded and a soft, loving look graced his features.
"How about my theme song?" I asked the crowd. They shouted their agreements, and Cody and Zack put down their instruments and walked backstage for a break. "Okay! Here it is Abandoned!" Edward started playing a soft melody.
Sleepless in the night
I try to lose my faith in you
Saying to myself,
"You can't be the right one for me"
And now that you are gone
I finally get a taste of freedom
Only problem is:
I don't really want to be free
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't wanna feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandonedI don't wanna waste my youth
You tried to suffocate with your pretence
And I believed in this shallow romance
I ran for cover but I couldn't hide
And still you tried to get me to abide
You scratched me like a perfume ad
Erasing all the feelings that I had
And all the time you faked this loneliness
Cause you wouldn't see my twisted mess
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't wanna feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth
Truthfully, my youth would never be wasted. Unlike the wolves, we could never restart our aging process. I heard Zack and Cody coming back to the stage, followed by Kevin and a different set of footsteps. Must be the priest.
"Okay! Who wants to see Forsaken?" The crowd screamed louder than ever. The priest and Kevin came out last as Cody and Zack took their spots. I went to my Maid of Honor spot and Zack went to the Best Man spot. Cody and Edward took up the places beside Zack and Chrissy and Ashley took up the places by me.
