Chapter 10

The Truth

Rosalie POV

I can't believe that just like that, they know our secret. At least all they have are wings and they aren't stuck like this. At least they can have a child when they get older. I shouldn't even care, they are nothing to me, nothing compared to my beauty.

Emmett POV

That was weird...but awesome! I can't believe there are actually humans that can fly. They got it good! Vampires are all strong and stuff but you should've seen them punching and kicking those robots! I bet they're pretty strong too even if they aren't as strong as us. And that Max kid can fly like 600 mph. I don't actually know how fast we vampires run, but I know that 600 mph is reeeaaaallllly fast.

Alice POV

I just know that me and Nudge are going to be best friends! Even though I can't see the future right now, cause they're in it and I'm not exactly used to them, I can totally see us shopping together and doing things.

When I saw her at school the other day, I just knew that she was a shopping major! We could totally do that together if she wants to. I bet we have a lot in common.

Jasper POV
I think they're stiffness is rubbing off on me. Too many emotions! Argh! It burns! I'm feeling happy, admiration, dislike, wonderment, love, confusion, and all sorts of other stuff. I just learned that Rosalie has many complicated emotions.

Bella POV
That was out of character. We just spilled the secret to them, although we do know their secret now too. Edward took charge and then just told them.

Edward POV

I can't read their minds and it frustrates me. Apparently, that Ariel girl can read my mind and it irks me that my thoughts can now be read by a person who isn't me. I guess this is how the rest of them feel, well, except for Bella.

I know that they are hiding something else, the way they act even shows it to me. They always seem so gruff to me, like they've seen harder times, but they have wings, don't they? Wouldn't that make them carefree?

The next day...

This is another day at that boring high school. I am seriously starting to regret going to school. The sky is still pretty cloudy but at least Nudge didn't get to me today and I get to wear plain jeans and a sweatshirt on top of a T-shirt! Yay!

Anyway, when we entered school, there was no sign of the Cullens. Throughout the day, there was no sign of the Cullens. And when the sun finally broke the clouds right before lunch, still no sign of them.

"I'm going to go see what the deal is," Nudge said firmly and walked over to another table.

It was a table full of popular girls and jocks and she went up to a particular guy that I noticed was the captain of the football team. It was a good thing that I could still hear her from all the way over there.

"Hey, Rodney!" She yelled.

"Hey, Krystal, what's up?" Rodney asked, turning slightly to show he was paying attention.

"What's with the Cullens?" Nudge asked amiably, pretending to inspect her nails.

His face fell but then he quickly put up his smile again.

"They usually don't come on sunny days. They say that they want to take advantage of the nice weather and go hiking or something," he said.

"Oh, okay, thanks," said Nudge.

She sauntered back to our table and we could see Rodney watching her closely.

"I bet you its one of those vampire things, you know, get burned in the sun," Iggy laughed.

"Or maybe they're hunting," I saw slowly and Fan nodded in agreement.

"I think I'm going to ditch school," I stood up and emptied my tray in the nearest trash can.

"Hey, Max, can we come too," Nudge said. I probably should have said no but she had the Bambi eyes and I was under it's spell.

"Sure," I said stupidly.

We exited the cafeteria and I could tell that some people were curiously staring at us. We walked down the hallways and then we head to sneak past the front office.

We got into the car and I drove back to the Cullen's house from when I remembered it using my awesome birdy-senses.

We got out of the cars and then I took the antique knocker with an engraved lion's head and knocked three times. The loud sound echoed off the walls and then we heard footsteps.

Esme came to open the door and when she saw us, she smiled widely.

"Come in, please," she ushered us into the living room and told us to sit down.

"Would you like anything to drink or anything? Everybody else is still outside, doing some stuff," she finished mysteriously.

"I thought you were hiking?" I said, looking around for anything hidden. I'm a paranoid bird-kid, okay!? Sue me!! Although, you'll probably have to catch me first.

"Rosalie," Esme said casually.

"Yes?" Rosalie somehow came up behind us without me noticing because one minute she wasn't there, now she is.

"Can you get Carlisle and the others?" Esme smiled sweetly and Rosalie went off to find them somewhere.

"So where is everyone exactly?" I asked.

"Oh, remember how I told you that we only eat animals?" she asked and we all nodded, "They're hunting right now in the woods."

There was an awkward silence as we waited for the rest to come back. Then, they were all just here.

"I see your working that super speed, eh?" I said dryly.

"Why'd you stop by?" Edward asked.

"Just wanted to see if you would burn in the sunlight," Nudge said happily.

There was a moments silence and then they all started cracking up...strange people. Me and Fang exchanged confused looks and then the Cullens finally stopped when they ran out of air.

"That's just a myth!" Emmett slapped his knee and looked very amused.

"Sleeping in coffins? Wooden crosses?" Iggy searched for anything.

"Myth and myth, we don't sleep at all," Alice informed us.

My eyebrow's shot up my forehead but I kept still.

"I never asked you why you eat animals instead of humans," I said.

"We don't want to be monsters, we just are. It's probably worse than you. We have to drink blood just to sustain ourselves. We can't have kids, and we don't age," Rosalie glared at me harshly and I felt defensive.

"Did you just say that being a vampire is better than being us?!" I asked incredulously.

"Yes, because it's true!" Rosalie yelled.

"You don't know anything about us," I hissed at her, "You don't even know our real names!"

"You have so many things that we don't," Rosalie said.

"Think about this: Being donated to research and not even born. Growing up in cages to be experimented on and having to watch other children die from failed experiments. Not even having your own name, the scientists just called us by experiment number.

We were in Death Valley sitting in a secret research facility just so that people could learn what makes us tick.

We escaped when we were not even teenagers with a man that we thought was our friend. Then, he went back to the lab and experimented again. My life was just freakin' messed up because that man turned out to be my dad and my half-brother was also experimented on.

I didn't know this stuff back then and my brother was a totally different species from me, a pet of the School or what we called it. My brother had to chase me down. Then, I killed my brother without even knowing I was related to him. Then he somehow came back from the dead and I had to watch him die because we experiments come with a due date. We expire and that's the end of us and those scientists don't care.

By the way, I was almost auctioned off by a scientist too. Yeah, I had to fight to the death with a genetically-enhanced man and he almost beat me. I was so close to coming to death so don't think that we're the lucky ones!" I totally exploded. Something about the Rosalie girl just pissed me off.

I saw that Bella look at my pityingly and I saw Nessie, Esme, and Alice almost in tears. Rosalie just stood there with her stupid mouth hanging open but she still had that glare on her face.

"You're not stuck like this! I was turned when I was in the prime of life during a time when people starved to death on sidewalks and nobody cared about them! I was supposed to marry a man with a large banking company and all I wanted was love.

Then he raped me like I was trash and threw me on the ground. It's only thanks to Carlisle that I am still here and I would have rather died! At least you have a shot at getting to Heaven, our souls aren't even here anymore!" Rosalie screamed and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Rosalie!" Bella came over and stared into Rosalie's face, "Don't ever say that we don't have a shot at Heaven! You don't know that!"

"Whatever, but I know they're life is better than mine," Rosalie still glared at us.

"You can think whatever you want to but we don't want to be involved in your vampire crap," I stalked out of the house, enraged.

Iggy, Fang, and Nudge followed me out of the house and then we flew away into the sky.

"Are you okay?" Fang said softly.

"I'm fine," I grunted.

"I hate that Rosalie chick," Iggy said.

"Me too," Nudge agreed.
