*Melanie's POV*

We've been here for a couple of days. It's weird seeing Carlisle again but also nice at the same time. I was sitting in their living room, reading, when a girl in a pixie hair cut came and sat next to me. "Hi, I'm Alice!"

I looked at her. "Hello, I'm Melanie."

"What are you reading?"

"A series called Percy Jackson." It was an awkward silence until she broke it again.

"Carlisle said you have a power. What is it?"

"Oh, um, I'm a siren..." I muttered.

"Oh, aren't they like mermaids?"

"Well, in Greek Mythology they are actually bird-like creatures."

"Oh. So how does it work?"

"What? My gift?" She nodded. "Well, when I sing they go into a trance where all they can focus on is my voice. I use it mostly to hunt or to pass my classes." I said.

She giggled a bit.

"That's cool, can you fight with it?"

"Well, kinda.... you see, my brother and I work as a team. I distract our opponent with my voice while he kills them with his gift. He can control shadows."

She nodded. "That's cool. So Edward said you two knew each other?"

"Well yeah. David and I were created before Edward. So the three of us were a Coven for a while. Then me and Carlisle got into an argument and David and I packed up our bags and left."

She nodded. "What was it about?"

"I can't remember really..." That was a complete lie though. I went back to my book. It was getting to the part where the Minotaur was attacking Percy and his mom. Soon, the others came in, including Renesmee. The little girl sat next to me, staring at my book. I could tell it interested her. I closed it and handed it to her. "Would you like to read it?" I asked her sweetly. She nodded shyly, she took it from me and opened it. I didn't mind, it was my fifth time reading it anyways.

"So, how are you Melanie?" Edward asked me.

I shrugged. "I don't know, good I guess but it gets boring when you've been alive for 194 years."

He nodded. David and Clarisse came in and sat next to me.

"Not to push into your personal life but how did you two," the country boy, that I learned his name was Jasper, gestured to me and David, "get turned into vampires?"

David looked at me and I looked at him. "It's a long story, it might bore you to death." David said with a smirk.

"Good thing we can never die!" A guy named Emmet joked.

"True, true...." David turned to me "Do you want to tell him or should I?"

"I can." I smiled and turned to them. "It all started on May 20th, 1814...."
