Chapter 3:
(BPOV)
I was looking at my sisters when I looked at Tasha. She was in the first step of her Queen's role. You see, when we assume the Vampire Queen's role, our voice changes so it has more authority and our appearance changes. But it happens one at a time. The first step is our voice changes and that was where Tasha was now. Her eyes were the same light grey that they were the first time I met her.
Her eyes narrowed as she spun around and walked through the crowd, looking more like a queen than before, right up to a smirking Tanya. My other sisters and I followed.
"YOU BITCH!!" Tasha yelled. Her voice rang out with authority. The music stopped and everyone turned look at Tasha and Tanya.
"Now, now, your highness, that's no way to speak to a guest." Tanya said smirking.
"You are no guest of mine. You are no guest to anyone in this house." Tasha said. Her eyes glowed with anger.
Edward and the Cullens moved to protect Tanya, but suddenly found that they couldn't move. Tasha looked over at us and smiled a little at our help. One of our powers was the ability to put force fields around things so they couldn't move.
"Well, now, you can't say that." Tanya said with a smug smile. "You invited me." she said.
"I never invited you. My sisters and I invited the Cullens and you are NOT a Cullen." Tasha said. I nodded and looked at my sisters. Megan moved to Tasha's side and I moved to the other. Sam went behind Tasha. "You can marry every male in the Cullen household, but you will NEVER be good enough to call yourself a Cullen." I said.
Tanya looked mad and held up her hand to slap Tasha, when Sam came from behind Tasha and grabbed Tanya's hand. "If you even think about touching one of my sisters, I will tear you apart." Sam said. She glared at Tanya and looked back at me. I nodded and she let go of Tanya. I looked at Megan and nodded to her to follow Tasha upstairs. Sam and I went back to the door and told the Volturi to follow us upstairs.
When we arrived at our room, Tasha was sitting on the window seat staring out at the full moon. "Luciana, are you alright?" Aro asked. Tasha looked up at him sharply when he said that name.
"I am not Luciana yet." She said. Aro nodded and sat down on the sofa with Caius and Marcus.
(Alice's POV)
I was in shock. How could Notte and Angel and the other two know Tanya? Speaking of Tanya, she was so pissed off that Edward agreed to take her home. "The rest of us will stay here and see what happens." I said. There was something really familiar about Notte and Angel, but I couldn't place it.
Since everyone was confused at what just happened, the music never started back up, but I don't think the people upstairs noticed, because we heard blaring music coming from upstairs. It sounded like there was a studio up there. That was the only time I had ever heard a sound echo like that.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. It sounded like Notte as she sang with her band. As I was listening, I remembered the Volturi following Sam and Megan upstairs. What the hell were they doing here? I thought. I soon fell entranced with Notte's voice. I could tell she was getting rid of anger. I soon recognized the song as 'Shoulda' by Hinder.

Before I hung up the
phone all I could hear
Was the dial tone ring in my ear
If
I could go back in time
I'd say those three words
I
shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
And this
can't be saved if you can't be found
You hung up and left me
for dead on the ground
You didn't even say
goodbye
I shoulda woulda coulda said it
back to you
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
Now that you're gone I'm wasting away
The life has
been siphoned right out of my veins
If I could go back
in time
I'd say those three words
I shoulda
woulda coulda said it back to you
And
this can't be saved if you can't be found
You hung up and
left me for dead on the ground
You didn't
even say goodbye
I shoulda woulda coulda
said it back to you
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
When you said those three words
I kinda freaked out
When you said them first
My jaw hit the ground
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
I shoulda woulda
coulda said it back to you
And this can't be saved if
you can't be found
You hung up and left
me for dead on the ground
You didn't even say
goodbye
And this can't be saved
And
this can't be saved
If you can't be found
If you can't be found
And this can't be
saved
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
I
shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
By the middle of the song, my family and I were in the Wilson's studio listening to them singing. All their eyes were closed and I saw the Volturi sitting on one of the black sofas watching Notte. When she opened her eyes, they narrowed at the sight of me and my family.
"What do you think your doing up here?" she asked. I could hear the venom in her voice. "You have no right to be up here. You are now trespassing!" her voice now rang out with authority. I was shock. I had never seen a vampire so angry before.
"We wanted to know how you knew Tanya." Emmett said. Notte turned her glare onto him.
"I don't think that is any of your business." Notte said. She snapped her fingers and was now in black jeans and a white strapless shirt with black and grey clouds printed on it.
"Meg, Angel, Sam, I'm out of here." She said and walked from the studio. My family and I followed her down the stairs to the party down below.
"Everyone, I'm leaving for a few." Notte told everyone. Then she looked at Stella and Sole and added, "I'll be back soon." And with that, she turned and walked out the door.
(BPOV)
"Look what you all did!" I yelled at the Cullens. They didn't know what to do. My sisters and I just glared and projected our thoughts to Tasha. Tasha, we have a club performance tonight. Will you be there? We all asked.
I'll be there…tell the Cullens to come. Sam, turn into Sammy. I need to let my emotions out. She said back to us. See you there in five minutes. I smiled at my sisters and nodded.
"As much as we hate to, would you like to come to our club and listen to us play?" Megan asked. I smirked. Megan hated the Cullens.
"Oh, ok." Alice said shocked as she watched everyone leave the party.
"It's in three minutes. If you come, Edward and…Tanya," Megan said as though it would kill her to say Tanya's name, "have to come too." She said. Alice nodded and my sisters and I listened as she asked Edward, and then checked the future.
"We'll be there." she said. We all nodded and snapped our fingers to change our clothes. I was now in a red strapless top and a pair of black jeans. Sam was wearing a dark blue strapless top and black jeans and Megan was wearing a forest green strapless top and black jeans. This was they're normal club outfit.
(Two Minutes Later)
We were all back stage waiting for Tasha to show up. I was nervous because Tasha tended to keep her emotions inside her and when she let them go, well, it was sometimes dangerous.
"Hey girls." Tasha said from behind me. We all spun and gave her a hug.
"What songs are we singing?" I asked.
"Well, since Sam changed into our 'brother' Sammy, I was going to sing some songs from High School Musical 2. The first one will be…You Are the Music in Me, then Gotta Go My Own Way, and finally Everyday." Tasha said. We all nodded.
After our introduction, we all walked out on stage and took our spots. I looked over at Tasha and saw that she was looking right at the Cullens. She smirked and then began right into the song.
Bella
Na, Na, Na,
Na
Na, Na, Na, Na, yeah
you are the music in me…
You know the words
"once upon a time."
Make you listen,
there's a reason.
Bella &
Tasha
when you dream, there's a chance you'll find,
A
little laughter,
or happy ever after.
Tasha &
Sammy
you're a harmony to the melody,
that's echoing
inside my head.
A single voice,
above the noise
and like a
common thread,
you're pulling me.
When I hear my
favorite song,
I know that we belong
you are the music in
me.
It's living in all of us,
it's brought us here
because,
you are the music in me
Band
Na, Na, Na,
Na
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You are the music in
me…
Sammy &
Tasha
it's like I knew you before we met.
Can't explain it,
there's no name for it.
I sang you words I've never said.
And
it was easy,
because you see the real me.
As I am, you
understand,
and that's more than I've ever known.
To hear
your voice, above the noise
and know I'm not alone.
Oh,
you're singing to me.
When I hear my
favorite song,
I know that we belong
you are the music in
me.
It's living in all of us,
it's brought us here
because,
you are the music in me.
Together we're
gonna sing.
We got the power to say what we feel.
Connected and
real,
Can't keep it all inside.
Band
Na, Na, Na,
Na
Na, Na, Na, Na, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You are the music in me…
Troy & Tasha

it's brought us here
because,
you are the music in me.
Band
Na, Na, Na,
Na
Na, Na, Na, Na, yeah.
You are the music in me…
The crowd went wild. It was nice having an all vampire club to work at. It got us all to relax a little. "Ok, the next song in Gotta Go My Own Way." Tasha said. We began the music and listened to Tasha sing her heart our.
Tasha:
I gotta
say what's on my mind
something about us doesn't seem right…these
days
Life keeps getting in the way
whenever we try
Somehow the plan is
always rearranged
It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do
what's best for me Chorus:
you'll be okay...
I've got
to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here;
I hope you
understand
We might find our place in this world someday,
But
at least for now,
I gotta go my own way.
Tasha:
Don't
wanna leave it all behind,
but I get my hopes up and watch them
fall every time
another color turns to grey
and it's just too
hard…to watch it all…slowly fade away.
I'm leavin today
cause I've gotta do
what's best for me, Chorus: Sammy: Tasha:
Sammy: Tasha: Sammy: Tasha: Sammy: Tasha:
You'll be okay…
I've got
to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here;
I hope you
understand
We might find our place in this world someday,
But
at least for now,
I gotta go my own way.
What
about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to
hurt you.
And what about me?
What
am I supposed to do?
I gotta leave but I'll miss
you.
I'll miss you.
So I've got
to move on and be who I am. (Sammy: Why do you have to go?)
I just
don't belong here
I hope you understand (Sammy: I'm trying to
understand)
we might find our place in this world someday
But
at least for now (Sammy: I want you to stay)
I gotta go my own
way
I've got to move
on and be who I am (Sammy: What about us?)
I just don't belong
here
I hope you understand (Sammy: I'm trying to understand)
We
might find our place in this world someday but at least for now,
I've
gotta go my own way,
I've gotta go my own way,
I've gotta go my
own way.
When the song ended, Tasha's face looked pained. I looked over at the Cullens and saw that Alice was looking at her in shock and recognition. She looked over at me and I gave her a small smile. "Ok, the last song tonight is called Everyday. Please enjoy."
Sammy
Once in a lifetime

We all ended the song with the whole club singing with us. We laughed as we walked off stage. "Well, I fell better now that some people recognize us." Tasha said happily.
"You knew this was going to happen?" I asked shocked.
"Of course. I mean come on…it's Alice. She was bound to figure it out sometime, we just helped her along." Tasha said happily. "And here they come." She said suddenly frowning.
Alice walked over to them slowly. "Where is the rest of your family?" Megan asked.
"They're outside. I had to talk to you two. Is it really you two? Bella…Tasha?" she asked in a whispering voice.
