After I had fled Jacob's, I had gone hunting. I realized that if I wasn't careful I could harm someone.

While I was out hunting, I caught the scent of a human. However, even though I could tell it was a human, I didn't feel the need to go and drain his blood dry. Guess that my aversion to blood carried over from my mortal life.

After a few days, I got up the courage to go see Charlie. When I got to my house, I had peered through the window. Charlie was asleep on the couch, his hand gripping the phone, the TV blaring. The dark circles under his eyes were evidence that he had not slept well since my disappearance, and that he was waiting for any word of me so much that he was going to make himself sick.

Glancing at the TV, I saw that he was watching X-Men 2. Storm was using her awesome power to bring down the teleporter from the ceiling beams. As I watched her eyes change color and her feet rise off the ground, I felt something within myself respond. My body began to feel cold, and I felt as if I was full of energy. Suddenly, lightening flashed across the sky, at the exact same moment that it did in the movie. As if that wasn't creepy enough, once Jean caught the teleporter with her telekinesis, the TV lifted off the ground. I gasped in shock, and it fell down again.

Charlie sat up in shock, and I ducked below the ledge more. I saw him peer around in confusion, before his eyes landed on the TV. Supposed understanding lit his eyes, and he stood up with a sigh. Switching the TV off, he made his way to his ground floor bedroom. Before he left, though, I saw him peer around one last time. He looked so sad.

This was my first experience with my bigger power, and I slowly learned how to control it. If I felt it run loose, at every chance they got they would present themselves.

The strange thing was, I could collect powers if I wanted. I watched all three of the X-Men movies, and the Charmed series. The powers I collected were hard enough to handle by themselves, but my original power let me handle them all well. As long as I controlled them.

********************************************************

The Cullens tried to catch me after the show, but I left to quickly once again.

I headed home with the girls, and I knew that the Cullens wouldn't try and approach me in front of them.

The next night, Monday night, was going to be fun. It had a…darker theme. This was the night that any of the vampires that were in the area new to come, and no humans were allowed. You had to present yourself at the front doors, and if you weren't a vampire, you weren't let in.

Payton was the club owner, and he was also a vampire. None of the other girls I knew had to work on this night, but Payton recruited a few more immortals to help me out. He held it in an amphitheater off the highway, one that he personally owned.

It provided a bigger stage, and more room for the vampires so as not to start a fight.

I was wearing my black dress (A/N picture on my website) with my green patterned heels. My make-up was smoky eyes, and blood red lipstick. My hair was layered and flowing down around my shoulders.

I knew that the Cullens would have more of a chance to approach me this evening, as they didn't have to worry about exposing themselves in front of any humans.

What they didn't know, however, is that I had done quite a few of these nights before. And cultivated quite a few fans.

********************************************************

"And now, introducing the woman you all came to see, Izzy!" The cheers were quiet, for we didn't need to be loud to be heard.

I stepped forward, smiling beatifically out into the crowd. I noticed three familiar presences, and grinned. Maybe tonight wouldn't be as aggravating as I had thought.

The first song was one I had written before my first vamp night, and it was favorite.

"Hey. So I'm going to start out with one that, if you've been here before, you'll recognize. Its called Angels." I heard the cheers become louder, and I grinned. I strolled over to the keyboard, sitting down before signaling the strings section to start.

Sparkling angel I believe

You were my savior in my time of need.

Blinded by faith I couldn't hear

All the whispers, the warnings so clear.

I see the angels,

I'll lead them to your door.

There's no escape now,

No mercy no more.

No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.

You took my heart,

Deceived me right from the start.

You showed me dreams,

I wished they'd turn into real.

You broke a promise and made me realize.

It was all just a lie.

I glanced to the right of the amphitheater as I sung, and smiled at Edward and the rest of the Cullens who were seated there. Edward had a pained expression on his face, as did most of the Cullens. Jasper was the worst off, though. I guess it was because he had to feel everyone's emotions.

At one point during my wanderings, I had run into a telepathic vampire. I now possessed that power, and used it. Jasper, do not be alarmed. I am going to block people emotions from you, so that you don't have to feel them all. He and Edward stared at me in wonder, as I placed a shield around Jasper's power. He sighed in relief.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see

Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.

Fallen angel, tell me why?

What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?

I see the angels,

I'll lead them to your door

There's no escape now

No mercy no more

No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart,

Deceived me right from the start.

You showed me dreams,

I wished they'd turn into real.

You broke a promise and made me realize.

It was all just a lie.

Could have been forever.

Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,

It doesn't give you reason why.

You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.

You took my heart,

Deceived me right from the start.

You showed me dreams,

I wished they'd turn into real.

You broke a promise and made me realize.

It was all just a lie.

Could have been forever.

Now we have reached the end.

Once I finished, the cheers were deafening to my sensitive ears. I didn't mind, though. I liked the feeling.

"Thank you. My next song is called Missing, and it's by a good friend of mine. Here it goes."

Whispered:

Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire,

You wont say the words.

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?"

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?

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?

Whispered:

Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire,

You wont say the words.

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 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?

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.......

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?

Whispered:

Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire,

You wont say the words.

"Thank you! We're going to take a short break! And Jade, Tyler, and Jeffrey, I know you're out there, get up here please."

I saw two vampires start to make their way through the crowd, and I grinned. I jumped off stage, making my way forward to meet them.

"Hey guys, how you doing?" I said, leaning forward to pull Jade into a hug. She laughed, hugging me in return before following me backstage. I ignored the stares I was getting from the Cullen family. They should have taken a hint the last few times, and I wasn't going to speak to them again if I could avoid it.

"So what brings you to California? Last I heard, you were in Russia!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I knew that your night was coming up soon, so I grabbed these two and hopped on a plane out here." Jade giggled, leaning against my shoulder. She had always been sweeter than your average vampire.

"So I see that you have some news to tell us, Izzy," Tyler interrupted, and I winced. He had always been the most perceptive of this group, and it didn't help that he could tell when you were lying. As a human, he was an interrogator, and now had the power to tell if you were lying.

I sighed. "The Cullens have found out about me, and have decided to become my own personal stalker coven." Jeffrey stiffened in fury. He had always disliked the Cullens more greatly than the others fro how they left me.

Tyler and Jade were my own children. I had changed them a year ago, after I had found them about to be shot by a robber. They were sixteen years old when they were changed, so they retained a level of immaturity no longer attainable by myself. They were already a couple as humans, and luckily were still mates afterwards.

I didn't require them to stay with me, and so they wander around the planet, seeing the sights. They met Jeffrey in Paris, and he joined their coven.

Jeffrey was fifty years old, changed at age twenty. He had something happen to him in his human life that scarred him, and so he was a bit darker than the other two. He also was way less forgiving towards betrayal and abandonment, which meant he loathed the Cullen family almost as much as I did.

"Don't worry, Jeffrey, they haven't done anything. They keep trying to talk to me, but I don't care. They were the ones who left, so they are the ones who should stay gone."

He relaxed a bit with my words, but still retained his angry expression.

A knock sounded on the door, and I called permission out. A stagehand opened the door, and gave me a time warning.

"Well, I've got to get back out there. Meet me in here after the show. Here," I handed them each a backstage pass, and then hugged them goodbye.

I made my way back onstage, and was greeted by a loud cheer. I laughed.

"Alright, alright. Well, this song is a bit interesting. It is faster than my other songs, but I thought you guy might like some of the lyrics."

Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own

If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes

'Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose

If it looks like I'm laughing

I'm really just asking to leave this alone

You're in time for the show

You're the one that I need

I'm the one that you loathe

You can watch me corrode

Like a beast in repose

'Cause I love all the poison

Away with the boys in the band

I've really been on a bender and it shows

So why don't you blow me

A kiss before she goes

Give me a shot to remember

And you can take all the pain away from me

Your kiss and I will surrender

The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires

So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be

In love with all of these vampires

So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go

You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow

Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands

Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows

So why don't you blow me

A kiss before she goes

Give me a shot to remember

And you can take all the pain away from me

Your kiss and I will surrender

The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires

So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be

In love with all of these vampires

So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Give me a shot to remember

And you can take all the pain away from me

Your kiss and I will surrender

The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires

So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be

In love with all of these vampires

So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

I yelled in exhilaration, and smiled. The applause and yells were now deafening, the exact level of volume I aimed for. One last song.

Now to do something new.

"Alright. Well, we've only got one song left. I know," I said as quite a few immortals complained, "I know. Oh well. Anyway, I'm going to need some help for this one. Hey Jeffrey, will you get up here?"

Tyler and Jade looked confused, but Jeffrey grinned and leapt onto the stage. He and I had worked this out the last time I saw them, a few months before.

I handed him a microphone, grinning at him before signaling the band.

[Jeffrey]

Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away

You say I'm not your type, But I can make you sway.

It makes you burn to learn, You're not the only one

I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun.

[Izzy]

Now you've gone somewhere else, Far away

I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you).

But you feel my breath, On your neck

Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you).

[Both]

'Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again, I don't mind

'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Izzy]

Sometimes you move so well

It's hard not to give in.

[Jeffrey]

I'm lost, I can't tell

Where you end and I begin.

[Izzy]

It makes me burn to learn

I'm with another man.

[Jeffrey]

I wonder if he's half

The lover that I am.

[Jeffrey]

Now you've gone somewhere else, Far away

I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you).

But you feel my breath, On your neck

Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you).

[Both]

'Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again, I don't mind

'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Jeffrey]

Baby, baby

Please believe me

Find it in your heart to reach me

Promise not to leave me behind

(Promise not to leave me behind)

[Izzy]

Take me down, but take it easy

Make me think but don't deceive me

Talk to me bout taking your time

[Jeffrey]

(Talk to me girl, talk to me)

[Izzy]

'Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

[Both]

And if I never see your face again, I don't mind

'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

[Both]

'Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again, I don't mind

'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

I high-fived him, laughing. He was actually grinning, chuckling. Over the extremely loud commotion I could hear Jade and Tyler yelling our names. I smiled and waved. Tyler pretended to swoon. Of course, he thought that Jade would catch him. She did, but she didn't hold him up. She dropped him on the ground, rolling her eyes.

I waved them forward, and they followed me backstage. We couldn't stop laughing. However, I couldn't get Edward's expression out of my head. He was staring at Jeffrey in obvious hate. Well, now the feelings were mutual between the two.
