I figure I may as well start one of these for Twilight, since I have one for both Guardians of Time and Harry Potter. I wasn't going to do this unless I could come up with at least two songs to use, and this first chapter is one. The second on is my fic "My Immortal". With that one, I wanted to post it, but I didn't want to wait for an excuse to make this before I posted it, so it got to be independent.
Anyway, for those of you who want a better explanation of what the hell this is than was given in the summary, this is a fic where each chapter is a new Twilight songfic. The chapters have nothing to do with each other (besides the characters), unless I say otherwise. So, for example, if I kill a character in one chapter, they're not necessarily dead in the following chapter. And some chapters will have everyone human, while others will have everyone as they are at whatever time I decide to set it. Most chapters will have a summary of what's going to happen, but some won't, so don't be upset if I don't feel like putting a summary on one, kay?
Alright, time to write this baby. If you have any more questions (or future song ideas), feel free to either ask in a review or PM me. I read all my reviews, even anonymous ones, and I always respond to the signed ones. As for anonymous, well, if the review entails something I feel I need to address, then I'll do so in the author's note of the next chapter. Okay, hold on to your hats, because here we go!
A Bunch of Twilight Songfics
Chapter 1
I'm With You
Summary: Song is by Avril Lavigne. Leah decides that she's going to try and find somebody to imprint on, since most of the other wolves have already done just that. Lyrics are in italics.
Leah's POV
I sighed and continued staring into the night, resting my arms on the rail of the bridge. Jacob had warned me that just going somewhere and hoping to imprint on someone doesn't work too well, but stupid me decided to try it anyway. I knew it was hopeless. I knew by now that none of us could control who we imprinted on or when it happened. Yet I still hoped.
I noticed it getting late when most of the guys started leaving the skate park I was watching. Pretty soon, I was the only one in the area.
I sighed again. "Great," I muttered. "Another day wasted. Well, I may as well just stay here for the night." But apparently, that wasn't going to happen. At that moment, it started to rain. I groaned. "This night just keeps getting better and better."
I'm standing on the bridge
Waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here
By now
I listened intently for any hint of somebody near me. Nothing.
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's
No sound.
I glared at the empty skate park, growling. I felt my whole body start to shudder. This surprised me; it had been a long time since I'd come anywhere near losing control. I considered phasing so I could try to escape this, sort of like Jacob did a while ago, but decided against it. For one, I was close to the main part of town, and we didn't want to start up wolf rumors again. But the biggest deciding factor was that, at the moment, the others could only guess at the mood I was in. I didn't want their pity, especially not Jacob's.
I laughed humourlessly to myself. Not too long ago, I'd thought that I had my feelings about love and imprinting under control, and that Jacob was the one who needed support. But then he saw that stupid baby.
I sighed yet again and went back to staring out at the skate park. I was surprised, actually, that nobody had come looking for me yet.
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night.
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you
Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are,
But I,
I'm with you
I'm with you
"Suppose it's a good thing," I said to the bug crawling on the railing of the bridge. "I mean, I wouldn't want them to see me like this." I sighed for a fourth time in the the past five minutes. "It was bad enough when I first became a wolf, having them all know every little secret about me. Not being able to find a way to control what they heard and what they didn't hear..."
I trailed off as the bug crawled away from me. I returned my gaze to the skate park, surprised to see a few people down there. I'd thought everybody had left.
I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here
I know?
This wasn't how things were supposed to happen! None of it! Sam wasn't supposed to have imprinted on Emily. I should have been able to be with him forever! And then most of the pack started imprinting. It was supposed to be rare! I probably would have been able to deal with things just fine if Jacob hadn't gone and imprinted on that baby! Now I was alone, in more sense than one. Not only did I not find someone I love, but now I was the only one who had loved someone not meant for me and was unable to find another.
I growled angrily and kicked a rock at my feet.
Cuz nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be
Alone.
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
I heard footsteps coming behind me and turned. Some guy was kicking a can while walking towards me. The instant I saw him, my heart started pounding.
"No way," I whispered to myself. "It actually worked?"
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you
Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I,
I'm with you
I'm with you
He continued to walk towards me, and I felt myself being drawn towards him, like he was the only thing keeping me from disappearing into thin air. But the wind started up just then, and I was hit with a familiar yet disgusting scent.
"Ugh," I said to myself again. "Of course. I finally imprint on someone, and he's a vampire. Just perfect." But I knew that it wouldn't matter in the long run. If Jacob and Seth could get used to the smell, I was sure that I could deal. Besides, what else was I going to do? I could tell in that instant that trying to stay away from this guy would be impossible.
"Um, hi," he said when he reached me. "Not to sound rude, but what are you? You're not human, I know that much for sure."
I tried to speak, but my mouth wouldn't work. Everything about this guy was perfect. And the most perfect part was that his eyes were a beautiful golden colour, meaning he didn't hunt humans. Just like the Cullens. I realized he was still waiting for an answer.
"I'm the only female werewolf in existence...or, I guess we're technically shape-shifters, but we like to call ourselves werewolves." I said this so fast that a human wouldn't have caught it. "I'm Leah, by the way," I added at the end, slowing down a bit.
The guy smiled and held out his hand for me to shake. I did so. "I'm Erick," he said. I realized he was still holding the hand that I'd used to shake his. He seemed to realize this too, and reached for my other hand with his free one. I willingly gave it to him. He took both my hands and placed them on his shoulders, then placed his own hands around my waist.
Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah,
Oh, oh
He leaned his head down then, and kissed me. Normally, if this were any regular guy I'd just met, I'd have kicked him in the nuts and run away, but the bond of imprinting made it so this felt completely right. I responded to the kiss passionately.
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you
Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
Oh
I'm with you
I'm with you
End
I originally had more, but it was kinda cheesy, so I edited. Well? How was it? I have the next chapter written on paper (I'd just need to type it) but I'm gonna give you guys a chance to review this one first...although, after next chapter, I have nothing, so ideas would be greatly appreciated. Just so you're all warned, this is something I won't update on my own unless some random song hits me and says "Hey, use me for Twilight!", which means I'll need lots of suggestions. Anyway, I'll shut up and let you review now...
