Hey guys! Of course, thanks for all the reviews, but also thanks for all the visitors. Only half of you review and most of them are by the same people so this chapter goes out to everyone that reads my story, not just the reviewers (though reviews are still REALLY nice!).

Yo, ep123 (I think)? Here's your Bella POV.

Internet's still acting up. I'll post as soon as I can.

MEH. Here's your Disclaimer: I honest to goodness do not own any of the MR or TS charries. Really.

ONWARD!

Chapter Ten

::Max's POV::

It was fun to play with the Cullen's minds like that. Though part of me worried that they would find out our secret. At lest we knew theirs and could use it for blackmail.

It was dark by the time we got home so I tucked in the little ones. Nudge and Angel we grinning as I walked in, like they knew something I didn't. "No tricks guys." I warned them. They just continued to grin and snuggled into their blankets. Really, I was happy they were actually plotting something. It meant that they felt safe and secure.

Iggy and the Gasman were the same way: happy and giggly. They wouldn't let me look in their side tables (I was suspecting something of the bomb variety). Gazzy hugged me good night and I walked out of the room.

Fang was downstairs just like always. And he held me tight, just like always. But this time we were both smiling and laughing and enjoying ourselves as we thought of the day ahead.

::Bella's POV::

Edward and I tucked in Nessie before heading back to the main house. I kept thinking about the Rides. They were all skin and bone with a sharp wit as well as tongue. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. I mean, I live in a picture perfect home with my daughter, husband, and family. All the family the Rides have are themselves. At least they live together.

Now that we had our secret out in the open, we were trying to crack open theirs. They could heal quickly and didn't exist according to the government (we had checked). Alice couldn't see them and they knew how to keep Edward out of their heads. They all had powers of some sort. And Nudge said that Max could fly. Max had glared at her for saying it which means it was probably true.

The only question was: what were they? Superheroes? No, definitely not. What would require the government to think that they didn't exist? If they were dead? It was a possibility. But why would they supposedly be dead? Were they put aside as a blue baby? But the chances of the doctor mistaking that were slim. What if the doctor was in on it? Maybe. But, what would they be in on? Something illegal?

My family and I spent the rest of our time discussing this matter as the night wore on.

::Max's POV::

Wake up: check.

Breakfast: check.

Get to school: check.

Morning classes: check.

Lunch:

Fang, Iggy, and I walked into cafeteria and grabbed our food, making our way over to our table. Nudge ran up to us with two trays and the Cullens who were staring at us and the amount of food we had bought. "High metabolism," I murmured before digging in.

Turns out vampires don't eat, so we had their lunches too. Over food, we talked. "So, a high metabolism, huh?" Emmett asked. I nodded, "Yep. We need about 3000 calories a day." He whistled as Edward continued the conversation. "Where do you come from?"

"Born and raised in Death Valley," Fang muttered, half of his pizza in his mouth. "Don't talk with your mouth full," I scolded. He swallowed and grinned. "Is there any reason why you would be considered illegal?" Bella asked. I raised an eyebrow and talked in a low whisper. "You're vampires, aren't you? Use your eyes and your brain. That's all you need to figure us out."

This secret thing is fun!

Gym was so boring today. It was just weight lifting. Fang and I were pulling twenty and thirty pound weights with Edward and Bella. Don't want to seem too strong.

Then there was Biology. Yesterday was just an introduction to the course and was all bookwork; really stupid. All Fang, Iggy, and I had to do was pass out books. Today we would actually be doing something.

Mr. Brunner was writing something on the blackboard when we walked in. He turned, "Ah, the Rides. Yes, today we will be studying hybrids."

GAH. Why me?!

Haha!

Victory is mine! I have finished two chapters in an hour! Only thing is its 7:30 and I need to be in bed by 9. (Getting up at 6 tomorrow!).

In case you're wondering, blue babies are children that are suffocated when they are birthed. It's like a stillborn.

And I'm really sorry about the internet. It'll be up soon (I hope!).

And I won't be updating that much over the week. I'll try, I really will, but I have a church thing on Wednesday, a piano thing on Thursday, and I'm babysitting on Friday from 6 to 1. Over the weekend, definitely! I'll try to get a chapter out every day, but bare with me here.

R&R = a well meaning hug? A really cool pencil? Five bazillion dollars?

Love ya'!
