Esme POV

After two hours, at five o'clock, I heard James' blue Lamborghini pull into the driveway. So, it was now dinner time. Great. Now, I would have to taste this awful human food. I saw a flash of a blonde hair come out of the car and James was in the house in a matter of seconds.

"Hi! Welcome back! How was your day at work?" I asked, making sure my voice sounded sweet.

"Very well, thank you for asking. How was yours? It was your first day at the office, I know it must've been stressful," he replied, smiling ruefully at me.

"As good as it can get. It's not exactly a pleasant day to have to see so many sick children." A sad smile found it's way on my face. James just nodded before heading into the kitchen.

I saw a blonde ponytail bound down the stairs and Cass was standing in front of me. She smiled before grabbing the plates that were in my hand and began to set the table. I followed after her, grabbing the utensils and napkins, placing them down right next to the fine china.

"OH! I just remembered! Esme, would you mind helping me out with my homework when we're finished dinner?" Cass asked, looking up at me with pleading eyes.

"Of course I will! We can head up into your room once we're done eating, okay?" A confirming smile that made it's way on her face in response.

James walked up the stairs to call the family down for dinner. In a matter of seconds, the whole group filed before us. James walked over tot the dinner table to take a seat.

"Yum! The dinner smells delish, Esme! I can hardly wait to taste it! What did you make?" Daniel exclaimed, rubbing his stomach.

Lacey rolled her eyes," You should know! You helped cook it with me!" she said, nudging him in the ribs.

"You weren't supposed to tell anyone about that!" He cried, burying his head in his hands. He walked into the kitchen and took his seat at the dinner table without, miraculously, bumping into anything. I would've thought he would've ran into the island that was straight into his path.

"Ugh! Get over it, sweetie. You made dinner, so what? I happen to know that Lucas helps Ange knit!" Lacey cried, sitting beside him and rubbing his shoulder.

"How did you know that? It was supposed to be a secret!" Lucas yelled, following his younger sister into the kitchen.

"I saw you two doing it….a few weeks ago. It's not like it was hard. Your door was open," she replied, sticking out her tongue.

"Would you calm down, hon. It's not like it's the end of the world! So, she saw you knitting. What the frig is the big deal about that?" Angeline questioned her boyfriend and sitting down next to him at the large table. This was the first time that she had actually spoken since I had been here.

"The big deal is, little sis, that his manly hood has been taken away. Some one saw him knitting! KNITTING! That is not something a guy should be doing, let alone get caught doing it!" David explained, throwing his hands up into the air and slumping into his seat.

Cass didn't say anything. She just skipped to her seat, winking at me as she went by. I smiled and went over to the table to sit in the chair next to James, the only one open. I guess these kids already had their own, usual seats.

They piled their plates high. I guess they were extremely hungry. Although, I couldn't imagine why. It's not like any of them actually played any sports. I just chose to go with not eating anything. That was the easiest way out of this dilemma. I just simply watched everyone around me munch on the food that their sister and brother had made. At this point, I wish I was a human woman. I could actually enjoy this meal with them rather than having to watch them eat it.

"So, how was everyone's day," James asked, swallowing his pasta.

Everyone simply grunted in response. No one wanted to stop eating. I guess Lacey and Daniel must've been extremely good cooks. That explained why nobody had noticed my not eating. They were all to absorbed in the, what I guessed was a , tasty meal.

The rest of dinner was silent after that. No one had much to say, apparently. Soon, everyone had finished. I gathered up the dishes and utensils that everyone had eaten on and Cass had scooped up the plates in which the food had been on. The rest of the family went their own way- some up stairs, some outside, and some in a different room on this floor- while we did this chore. The cameras had followed James up to his study, so it was just her and I. However, she seemed to be anxious. Cass was rushing through the dishes and was finishing them up as if they were nothing. I guess she really needed help with that homework of hers. Though, something told me she had something much bigger to show me than her math book.

We soon finished doing the dishes. As soon as we put them back into the cabinets, Cass practically dragged me up the stairs. She was using a force I never thought a girl her size would be able to exert. It was absolutely amazing.

She drove the two of us into her roof and slammed the door shut. She even went as far as locking it. Now, I was definitely sure she didn't want help with her homework. It was, without a doubt, something much, much more.

Cass dashed back over to where I was standing faster than I thought was capable by anybody, including my vampyrical family. She put her small finger up to my lips. Obviously, she wanted me to be quiet while she explained what she needed me up here for.

"I'm not sure how to tell you this. I've never had to tell anyone before. It was always my family's job to do that whenever it was necessary. But I don't think it's fair for you to be kept in secret any longer. You need to know what my family and I really are. We are no where near the human family that you thought us to be," she stated after a few moments of silence. She took a deep breathe before starting again, "There is something I need to show you. Are you ready?"

Once I nodded my head, the unbelievable happened. Wings sprouted out form her back. They were what movie directors and artists always made angel's wings out to be. They looked fluffy, soft to the touch, and covered completely in feathers. They even had the slightest tint of pink in them. It made the wings look like a mix between a peach and a pink color.

"I told you, neither my family nor I are human. I'm sure you can guess exactly what we are, but, I'll tell you anyway. …. We're angels, Esme. My family and I are angels," she scarcely managed to breathe out. She looked into mine eyes with a pleading look.

I just simply walked over to her and enveloped her in my arms. I didn't care what she was. She trusted me and that just made me want to jump for joy. I tucked her neck under my chin. We weren't that far apart in height so only the tip of my mouth was able to touch her soft, silky hair.

"I don't care what you are. You could be one of those damn werewolves, for all I care," I shivered at the thought before continuing," the important thing is, you trusted me enough to tell me your secret. That means the world to me. I just wish I would've told you mine," I sighed to myself, automatically feeling extreme guilt overcome me.

"You can tell me now. I may be a mythical creature, myself, but that doesn't mean I know what you are. The rest of my family does, but they won't tell me."

I looked at her in absolute amazement before speaking, "Well, honey, my family and I…we're vampires."

She looked at me in absolute amazement.

"You-you're a vampire! But, you don't look like any of the ones I've met! You have golden eyes! They aren't red!!!" she whisper-shouted.

"That's because we chose to drink animal blood instead of human blood. My husband wants us to stay as human as possible," I explained. Cass still looked star-struck.

"Alright, how about you tell me a bit about your family and your kind?" I asked, no longer being able to take both my thriving curiosity and the silence between us.

"Where do I start? Well, I suppose I should tell you about my kind first. It would be much easier to understand my family that way."

AN: Yep, I'm seriously going to stop there….for now O.O the next chapter will be the explanation chappie.

As always, review!!
