I DO NOT own the song at the end. It's "Haunted" by Evanescence.

-Mirabella-

Aro had beckoned everyone out of the house so that it was only us. He looked at me for a while before speaking in a very soft tone. "Do the bite still sting?" he asked as he pulled down my shirt to get a good look at my scar. "I didn't think it was possible."

"Yes, well, being bitten that many times can have those kinds of effects on you. I'm surprised I'm not fully turned yet."

"You really are my daughter Mirabella," smiled Aro. "You think just like her and everything."

I nodded. We had been talking about this girl named Anastasia and how I was most likely a reincarnation of her. I didn't mind. Aro even looked oddly familiar to me and I knew almost everything about him. I even knew the reason he killed his wife so many years ago. It was either her death, or mine.

Aro pulled out a bottle of a blue liquid that had streaks of silver in it. "It's a new kind of potion. It should help with the stinging. The nightmares might get worse, but that's the only side affect." He gave it to me and I smiled. I had about four of those bottles already empty in my room. It was the only thing that basically kept me human and out of pain. "Alec put some in your bag under your bed so that you have more."

"Thanks Aro," I smiled. "Where would I be without you?"

"In pain, and not even human."

I nodded, opening the bottle. It smelt like an ocean's breeze. I took a swig of it, making a face at the strong taste. The stinging on my mark that was on the top of my breast stopped stinging immediately. "You guys have to make this in soda flavors. Will this stuff make me look more human? Right now I looked like a tanned vampire."

Aro chuckled. "I'll tell Marcus then. As for your looks, I'm afraid you'll still look like a tanned vampire." He pulled me into a hug just as the family came in and the bottle disappeared out of my hands and into the hands of Jane. She explained to my family it was a liquid that helped humans not feel as much pain when they were bitten.

-Emmett-

It was the night of the talent show. There was a lot of preparation in detention we had to do and now my little sister was getting ready for her performance. It was basically a Battle of the Bands at the school and not just a talent show. I, along with Jasper, and Edward, were in Mira's band. She gave us these music sheets to memorize and we didn't even know the lyrics to her song. She wouldn't tell us. Edward couldn't even get into her mind.

The band on stage right now was really good. Their rhythm was the best and their voices came in sync with all of them. We also had lyrics to memorize so we got some kind of journey into the song. The ones we sang were kind of…scary.

The band ended and walked off of stage. It was mostly the stoners of the school that were in the talent show or the band geeks. I think our family was the most normal and most fun loving that had entered. And we were vampires!

"And now," said the choir teacher, Mrs. Danskin. "Our next band that will be playing is one that makes songs from past experiences. May I present, "Malicious Slumber!" The crowed applauded as my brothers and I walked onto the stage wearing plain black t-shirt and faded jeans. I took the drums, Jasper took the guitar, and Edward the bass. Then Mira came on stage with a blank expression on her face. She wore the same outfit as us, but she wore a skirt instead of jeans.

"This song is basically a fraction of my life that I never want to revisit," she said as she gestured for us to begin. I looked at my parents and saw that they were literally on the edge of their seats along with the rest of the audience. No one outside the family had ever heard her sing. Then she started her song that none of us would expect:

Long lost words, whisper slowly, to me.
Still can't find what keeps me here.
When all this time I've been so hollow, inside,
(I know your still there).

Watching me,
Wanting me,
I can feel you pull me down.
Fearing you,
Loving you,
I wont let you pull me down.

Haunting you, I can smell you, alive.
Your heart pounding in my head !

I looked at my family as I played. Their mouths were hung open and even Carlisle looked a little shocked. The rest of the kids at our school just stared at Mira as if she as a goddess performing miracles. Some even swayed to the very intense beat the song.

Watching me,
Wanting me,
I can feel you pull me down.
Saving me
Raping me
Watching me

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
(I can) Fell you pull me down.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
I wont let you pull me down.

She finished the song and everyone gave her, I mean us, a standing ovation. I couldn't believe her voice could give that much feeling. It was so cool! I got up from my drums and rushed over to her and gave her a bear hug. Jasper and Edward gave her a regular hug and we bowed. Yeah, this was going to be a good few years we were going to have with my little sis.

Ello!

Epilogue will come up in a few hours!

Missa.
