Recap….

Alice jumped up and down and clapped her hands. A smile lit up her face and made her face and the room glow.

"Thanks so much Edward!" she squealed. She kissed my cheek and jumped out of the room.

Just before she closed my door she yelled something that made me roll my eyes.

"By the way! Bella would have wanted you to enjoy too!"

I rolled my eyes again.

Chapter 2

[?POV]

"Ryan, what's the answer to the last question?" Zack asked.

I looked down at my work and sighed.

"-32," I answered. "You could've just figured it out yourself."

"True but I wanted to get my work done as fast as possible. Mom said we can go to the movies if we finish our work before 5 pm. You're always done really quickly but it takes me time. I really want to go to the movies. I heard there's a new action movie on with lots of blood and gore in it," Zack explained. Then he made these gun noises and pretended he was shooting with a gun.

I rolled my eyes. Typical Zack.

My twin brother closed his workbook and got up. He stuck his tongue out at me and ran out of my bedroom. I heard him run into the game room and turn on his PS3.

Again, typical Zack.

I closed my workbook and placed it neatly on top of my other workbooks in a pile in the corner of my desk. I got up and walked out of the room. I could hear Zack killing zombies two rooms down. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I went over to the refrigerator and took out my leftover smoothie. I put it on the island countertop in the middle of the kitchen. Then I opened the freezer and took out a packet of frozen blood. I placed it in the microwave to heat it up. Once it was warm I poured it all into my smoothie. I took a straw and stirred the strawberry smoothie/ blood mix.

I took a sip of my drink and smiled. Yummy.

Blood.

I love the taste of blood. My twin brother, Zack loves it even more than me. I think he's more of a vampire than me. I'm 25% human and 75% vampire. Zack is 80% vampire and 20% human because of his strong craving for blood. I just like blood once in a while. Not all the time.

Mom is 100% vampire and 0% human. Or just all vampire. She was sired. Zack and I were conceived. Mom was a human when she was pregnant with us. Our dad was a vampire. We never met him. But you know what? That doesn't matter. We don't need him. The bastard left my mom after telling her that he didn't love her. It broke her heart, it did. She still gets really sad from time to time. Then Zack and I cheer her up by telling her that she's got us. That always lifts her mood.

Zack and I hate our dad. Zack hates him more then me. Zack is really passionate about things. He LOVES blood and HATES our dad. Zack refuses to call him dad. He calls him "the vampire" when my mom is around and "pathetic excuse of a vampire" when she's not.

I love my mom. A lot. I would do anything for her. Just like she would do anything for Zack and me.

We're a family of three and always will be. Mom calls us the three Musketeers.

I like it when she calls us that.

Tomorrow we're leaving for Volterra. I can't wait! I love Italy! Especially Uncle Aro. He's the King of vampires. Uncle Aro says I'm the Prince of Vampires. Zack and me. Mom always frowns when he says that but she doesn't say anything.

Why?

What secret is she hiding?
