A/N: Okay, so I've decided to continue this. I don't know what will happen in the end of this story, but I will figure something out. I have decided to make this story mostly Bella's POV with some other POV's if it is needed. I am setting up a vote on my profile if you would like to come vote on some aspects of the story.
One last thing. I am writing a story on Wattpad and if ya'll have time please please please check it out and leave a review! Here is the link to my profile: user/shadows_waiting
My name is shadows_waiting and the story is called Nightmares are Dreams Too. I hope ya'll will check it out!
This will be a flashback chapter, so before the concert happened. Without further ado, here is the next chapter!
I closed my eyes, breathing deeply. I held the microphone up to my lips as I heard the music begin. This was it. I'd worked so hard to get here, and now I was performing in front of the judges for the Voice blind auditions. I opened my eyes as my cue came up.
You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Yeah, I'm losing control and
Oh, no
My walls are gonna break
So close
It's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You're not safe
I'm strong enough, I've always told myself
I never wanna need somebody else
Here's your chance at my heart and
Everything you want, but it's everything you need
It's not always happy endings
But it's all the in-between
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That your love is worth the risk
Oh, no
My walls are gonna break
I sang straight through the song, not opening my eyes until the last notes faded out. As my eyes fluttered open, I heard thunderous applause. I glanced at the judges chair's nervously.
My eyes opened in shock as I noticed that all four judges had turned their chairs and were standing up, applauding me. I raised my hands over my mouth in surprise.
From this moment on, I realized my life would never be the same.
The next few weeks passed by in a blur. Soon, I found myself writing my most recent song in the forest near my house, trying to escape the crowds of people following me everywhere I went.
I still remember the day I came back to Forks. I had been trying to find some new inspiration for a song, so I came back to live with Charlie.
The night I came back, I decided to go grocery shopping for fresh food to eat for dinner. I was stopped multiple times just trying to get from my car to the building, and by the time I reached the doors, I was ready to tear my hair out from frustration.
As I was planning out various meals, several of the students from my old class came up to me and began talking. The worst one was Mike Newton.
I had rejected him yet another time before I left, and he seemed to want another chance.
"So, Bella. I know you rejected me before you left, but I'm willing to put that behind us. I won't judge you. I know, I know," he began, patting my shoulder, "you felt like you were out of my league then." He stepped up right in my face and I leaned back, trying to stay away. "But now that you are a star, you are right up on the pedestal with me."
He gave me what was supposed to be a sexy smile, but it looked like he was in pain. I shoved Mike away, disgusted, and walked away.
And now, several weeks later, I was ready to face my fate.
The wolf pack had been chasing Victoria for weeks, and every time they thought she was unable to escape, she managed to get away every time.
I had a sinking feeling in my stomach as I began working on my song.
"And all those things I didn't say, wrecking balls inside me brain," I abruptly stopped my singing when I saw a flash of red near the edge of my sight. I turned my head, trying to get a better glance at the color, only to see the plain green colors of the woods.
I heard a voice behind me.
"Izzy. Izzy. Izzy. Izzy." I shivered. The voice whispered in my ear, taunting me, luring me. I remembered that voice, the one that had haunted my dreams for the past two years. She appeared in front of me, her bright red hair a splash of color against the green trees.
I closed my eyes. I felt tears well up behind my eyes. I was done, I was done fighting.
"Just do it," I whispered, my voice cracking. Her hands, previously moving to tear out my heart, froze. I opened my eyes as she sat back.
"I was imagining this...different," she murmured. "I thought I would be getting revenge for my mate. But it's no fun if you accept it willingly." She looked up at me again. "I heard that the Cullens left," she started slowly, almost hesitantly. "But now," a smile slowly spread across her face, "I can do the one thing they never wanted for you." That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
I woke up to a burning in my arms. I opened my eyes and looked around, ignoring the pain in my limbs.
"You know, it's already been two days. You should be screaming in pain by now."
I whipped around, trying to find the source of the voice.
At the edge of the meadow was Laurent, poised as if he were taking a long nap. I squeaked in surprise.
"What's happening to me?" I asked shakily, my voice rough as sandpaper.
Laurent got up lazily, slowly strolling over to me. "You, my dear, are turning into a vampire."
"Oh," I mumbled quietly before the world turned black again.
Days later, I awoke, my senses heightened and my instincts stronger than ever.
I looked over to my side where Laurent was still perched.
"Seven days," he muttered, looking at me awed.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Your eyes! T-they're purple." I sighed. Rubbing my head. Leave it to me to be the one vampire that is different from the rest.
I sighed again and stood up. Time to begin my new life.
A/N: This was a small flashback on what happened in Bella's past. Next chapter will be back to the concert.
