AN: just to clarify on the siren thing.
The MC wasn't originally knowledgeable regarding sirens. She, like most people nowadays imagines mermaids when sirens are mentioned. But she does have bits of knowledge regarding sirens being portrayed as either a Half bird half human female, and Half fish half human female.
Internet wasn't invented yet around the 1920s what little information she had gathered regarding sirens was from the lab, myths, and lores, which did say that sirens were half birds, but people's perceptions of them changed over time, now liking their appearance to mermaids.
Now, I as the author, decided to forgo animal parts, and just liken her siren version to the ones in the "Lost Girl" series, they very much just look human, and their skills very much correlate to our MC, minus the healing... For now. So, no feathers or tails. 🤷

1928 Rochester New York
ROBIN'S POV
To be completely honest... I forgot all about going to Rochester New York... But the good news is, the plot is being followed.
I didn't even have to do anything, it's like fate is doing its best to stay true to canon. Maybe my meeting with my blood singer was arranged by fate to return the cast back on track? Still a dick move by the way, (flips the sky) I could have killed the girl.
We moved to a rather decent area, by decent I meant people with good jobs, that pay a lot of money like my doctor of a father. There were a lot more people here, but this was a place that had access to the forest.
Edward had to enroll at the local high school because we had to blend in, I teased him a lot for it, and he just rolled his eyes at me, I volunteered to go there with him, but he said he'd rather he suffer alone than having to hear some disgusting teenage boys thoughts towards his little sister. Heh, siscon.
Our parents agreed, also aside from the fact that I'm still too young to enter High school with him, I'd have to be in middle school all alone, which they won't let me go through. Hence, here I am, home-schooled... They arranged something with the school where I just show up there to take a test, of course, mom or dad will be with me whenever I do. Haaah...
I did tell them that sooner or later I would have to go to college, I want to go to college, get a girlfriend, and maybe get a job like dad or get a girlfriend, or do something else related to music, or get a girlfriend... What? Like some people on the internet said... Important things need to be said 3 times.
Ok, for important things, such as the plot that is set here in NY, it is Rosalie's. I am 100% going to do everything in my power to save her, plot be damned, I'll give her what she wanted. In her place, I'd save Emmett, and if their souls are really fated to be together, they'll meet each other again, my very existence is proof of reincarnation.
I am too early from the plot, soooooo... I'm just gonna enjoy myself? Maybe I'll manage to make friends?
We did notice a difference in my treatment from around us, the first home we had was located in a very remote area, so aside from the occasional trip to the market, I didn't get to see other people and people don't get to see me much, so their opinions of me weren't a lot... But here, there's a lot of people, meaning a lot of couples, meaning a loooot of Kids...
And my cover which is not really a cover because it is in a way still true, is I'm an albino and mute, so that's why I'm home-schooled, always covered by long sleeves, shades, or umbrella... Because tho I don't sparkle, I do kinda glow under direct sunlight.
So, with me looking and being so different, the opinions and or reactions about me are kind of mixed, remember this is still the 1920s, tho it is true that there was already some positive change for women like being able to vote, it is still a male-dominated time and majority are conservative Christians, and last but not the least, people in this period don't take kindly to different.
So let's see, 1st I'm a female, 2nd I'm gay, 3rd I'm an albino, 4th can be considered a defective woman because I couldn't talk. However, the last part can be a positive for them because they'll think I'll be a quiet and meek wife who will just do as she was told. This time period really isn't for me.
And let's be honest, I am gorgeous, even by vampire standards. Women/girls get envious of me, and the male population in this is just disgusting, Edward shared some of the things that they thought about me, and I don't even go out that much, I only go with mom to get groceries, sometimes at dad's workplace, go to school once a week to take tests, and hunting... That's it, there are parties that my parents are invited to, they were asked to bring their kids, but my family opted to not take me with them for now, it wasn't too long ago when I tried to drain my singer.
So here I am now, alone on this sunny afternoon while my family left for an afternoon gathering of some sort... silently singing and dancing to TonyTalks rendition of the scene when Ariel asked Ursula for legs. (the little Ursula) because I just finished watching Little Mermaid. Why silent? Because I'm alone, so if somebody heard me, I can't deny that it was me, because I don't even have a recording of my singing. How did I watch the movie? VHS.
[AN: Seriously, I said I wouldn't do research and just write whatever, even if it isn't historically accurate, but I keep checking and checking bruh. So yes, apparently VHS was already a thing then, and Little Mermaid was already out then.... 😑]
So, again, I was dancing while listening to the music in my head, lip-syncing around the house, and then I heard the doorbell.
I turned off the music and headed to the door alert and had my senses maxed, we weren't expecting anyone to come, I'm not gonna be a helpless little girl anymore... As I got closer to the door, I caught the most fragrant scent in both my lives, not an appetizing scent like my singer, but more of an I want to smell this every day for my whole immortal life, and it seemed like the person in front of the door is a single human girl, so I lowered my guard down a bit. Now I'm curious and excited to see who this person is.
The unknown girl pressed the doorbell again, but since I couldn't tell her to wait, I sped up to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
"Hello, may I speak with Dr.Cullen?" said the most beautiful girl that I have EVER seen aside from me, I'm even willing to give up my title for her, blonde hair that had a golden shine to it, God it looked soft, I want to comb my hands through it... Her eyes, oh her eyes were the most beautiful violets, I could just stare at them all day, every day...
It seemed like I had gawked at the girl for far too long, that she had to clear her throat to get me back to reality. I shook my head to try to shake away my simp state, yes I'm simping even though I don't even know her name yet, there I admit it...
I gave her an inquiring look. Which made the girl look confused.
"I came for Dr. Cullen, my Father left something in his office when they met at the hospital and he was told that he could get it here, since my father is busy with work, as we are practically neighbors, he had me get it instead," she explained.
[AN: why her and not someone else get it for her father? Her brothers were still too young, and they can't be trusted with important documents yet, and her mother is busy taking care of them]
Hearing all this, she subconsciously bit her lips trying to think if her dad ever mentioned something about this, and how will she communicate with the angel in front of her.
She signaled the girl to come in for now, just with gestures since it is highly likely that the girl didn't know how to sign.
The blonde girl was getting more confused, but chose to trust her and went inside, they were still close to the door.
She gestured for her to wait for a second and got the pen and paper placed next to the telephone.
=Sorry for confusing you, I can't speak, so I can't really answer you earlier. I'm Robin Liesha Cullen, their daughter. You can call me Robin= she wrote and gave to the girl. And smiled at her.
"Oh. It's ok, it was just a misunderstanding then. I'm Rosalie Hale." Rosalie replied giving her a sweet smile, she's sooooo pretty. My heart is beating so loud right now, I'm hoping she won't hear it, thank G my family isn't here, they'd be able to hear it from a mile away.
Wait, waaaaaait, waaaaaait a damn minute, did I hear that right, Rosalie Hale? She's THE Rosalie hale from twilight? Fuck! They weren't kidding when they said she was gorgeous even as a human! Fuck! She's straight, no go, there goes my first love... Huhuhuhu... Fuck you, Rob.
"So about my father's documents..." Rosalie continued while she was just staring at her internally panicking and crying from my first heartbreak.
I have to pull myself together, I need to make a good impression, and I need to get close to her to be her friend, so I'll have an easier time protecting her from the plot. So she gave Rosalie the most beautiful welcoming smile she could do. It always worked on my family.
This had the girl in a bit of a daze and had a slight blush on her face. She's straight, she's straight, don't get fooled by the blush, you're just too beautiful for humans, any gender will find you attractive. Don't think too much.
=My father didn't leave any instructions regarding this, and the rest of my family are in a gathering at the moment, but I think they did have the phone number of the residence they were invited to. But, as you can see, I cannot talk, so... would you be so kind as to help me call for my father regarding the documents you're looking for= she wrote down while the girl was watching her. When she handed the note to Rosalie, she was able to study her side profile.
She looks similar to the movies, but a lot, a lot lot more beautiful, and she hasn't even reached 18 years old yet, which I believe was her age when she got turned.
"Ok, I can do that," Rosalie said with a smile and a nod.
They went to the phone, she searched for the number and then dialed the number for her when she heard the ringing, she handed the phone to the blonde.
Luckily, it didn't take long before the other end answered, and they were able to get Dad quickly, he and Rosalie had a dialogue regarding her purpose of visit.
Wow, her voice sounds really good, I wish I could record it so I can listen to it before I sleep... Shit, I'm sounding creepier by the second. I Robin Liesha Cullen will not be a Yandere stalker! I breath in and out for a couple of times, trying to calm myself.
"Excuse me, Robin, your father would like to speak to you," Rosalie said to her, handing the phone to me, a bit confused as to how me and dad were going to be able to converse.
I took the phone from her and tapped the part where the mic was, to let him know that I was on the phone now.
"sweetie? Tap once to say yes, and twice to say no. Ok?" to which I responded with one tap.
We communicated for a while with him talking and me tapping, which amused Rosalie from the side. He basically just told me where to get the documents and to give them to Rosalie, and that they'll be back in a bit, and they were sorry that I had to meet an unexpected guest, then said goodbye.
I told Rosalie to wait so I could get the thing she came for, and then handed it to her and we walked to the door.
"I apologize for the intrusion, see you around Robin," Rosalie said smiling and staring at me with those eyes... Ugh. My heart.
Gotta make a move, make an impression... Uh... I held my hand out gesturing for her to take it, when she did, I covered her hand with the other... And then I stared at her smiling brightly while I shook her hand 3 times before letting go and waved at her as a sign of goodbye.
She was frozen there for a second, and then unfroze when she noticed my wave of goodbye, she blushed profusely. It was lovely, she looked adorably beautiful... She managed to gather herself, and for the last time, she looked at me, still blushing a bit, waved goodbye, and then walked away.
I was just stuck there at the front door, looking at her go up until she could no longer see her.
'So this is how it feels to meet your celebrity crush or idol huh?' she thought to herself.

AN: Update on the cover photo, and this will be the last update I guess. Webnovel basically said they can't do anything about it, and to just wait for the app to get an update, and the issue with the Inkstone I have to fix myself long story.
So no cover photo.
I don't mind having just a small number of people following the story, maybe that's even for the best, since I might get overwhelmed if too many came too soon, I might even get hate comments, scary.
Thanks for the power stones, likes and comments. I enjoy interacting with all of you.
