Me: Btw, I would like you guys to give me suggestions for what Ana's new nickname should be. You'll understand what I mean after you read the chapter.

I'm in my room, painting a stargazer lily on my wall as Zerachiel lays on my bed, when Bella bursts through the door, scaring the heck out of me! "You know, there's this thing. It's called, knocking!" I exclaim, clutching my chest, trying to calm my heart down.

"The Cullens are vampires!" She exclaims, ignoring my little comment. I stare at her for a moment, before going back to painting.

"Well, it's about time you figured that out. I was wondering how much longer I had to wait for you to catch up" I remark, ignoring her shocked expression.

"You knew?!"

"Duh. Seriously, how come everyone is forgetting I'm a frickin' genius? First Edward, now you. Who's next, Zerachiel?"

"...You knew?!" I roll my eyes, before putting my headphones on. But she yanks them off. "How long have you known?!"

"For a while now. In all honesty, it was getting a bit annoying having to act oblivious to that little fact about the Cullens" I tell her casually.

"And you didn't bother telling me?!"

"Well, where's the fun in just telling you? It was much more amusing watching you trying to figure it out" I say, smirking.

"...I hate you…." she mutters, leaving my room.

"Love you too" I call after her.

~Time Skip~

The next day, Bella was ignoring me, still upset.

"Oh come on, Bells, I said I was sorry" I laugh, following her around the courtyard. She walks over to Angela and Jessica.

"What's up with you two?" Jessica asks, confused.

"She's mad at me for not telling her a secret of mine. And no, I'm not telling you either. It wouldn't be a secret if I did" I tell her, as Bella starts to talk with Angela, ignoring my presence. I roll my eyes, before spotting Edward walking into the schoolyard. I walk past him, into the woods, knowing he'd follow.

Once we're away from school, I lean against a tree, throwing down my bag.

"Hey stranger" I greet when he catches up to me. Edward gives slight snort of amusement.

"What going on with you and Bella?"

"You didn't hear? I thought you had super hearing Mr. Vampire" I tease.

"I just got to school and noticed your sister wasn't looking at you or even acknoledging you. I didn't hear you say anything. I'd read her mind, but I can't. She's like you. It's a bit annoying" he explains.

"Well, I always knew somethign was wrong with her. Anyway, she figured out you and your family are vampires, but when I told her I already knew, she got upset with me since we don't really keep secrets from each other" I shrug.

"She won't tell anyone, will she?" He asks, worried.

"Nah. She's not the kiss-and-tell type" I wave him off.

"Ok" He says, though I can tell he's a bit confused by the expression. Then he turns around and croutches a bit, "Get on. I want to show you something."

"What?" I ask, hopping onto his back.

"You'll see" He says, shooting off farther into the forest. Fast. Faster than he drove. Everything we past was just a blur to me. When we got to the top of a mountain, he took me off his back. He walked over to a patch of sunlight that was shining brightly. Ok, is he gonna show me his sparkly skin? Because, seriously. Vampire with shiny skin? Come on! "This is why we don't show outselves in sunlight. People would know we're different. This is what I am." Edward turns around, and I can see his skin shining. After a few moments, I burst out laughing.

"Ok, you have a new nickname" I laugh out, "Glitter boy!" I fall to the ground, laughing even harder. "No, no! Even better! Disco Ball! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"It's not funny! This is the skin of a killer" He growls out, walking away. I compose myself, giving out a few giggles, and follow him. "I'm a killer."

"You honestly believe that? Dude, all you've done since I've known you is protect me. I don't believe it."

"That's because you believe a lie. The camouflage. I'm the world's most dangerous predator. Everything invites me in. My voice. My face. Even my smell." That last bit threw me into another fit of giggles. "As if I need any of that." Then he disappears and then reappears on a rock. "As if you could out run me!" Then he reappears in front of me again. "As if you could fight me off!" He rips a branch off a tree and throws it far away from us. "I'm designed to kill."

"...Your point?"

"I've killed people before" He says, a bit more calmly now.

"You probably have, but you've also saved my life twice."

"I wanted to kill you too. I've never wanted a human's blood so much in my life" he says, walking closer to me.

"But you didn't. I trust you" I tell him. I guess sparkly vampires aren't all that bad….

"Don't" he demands.

"If I didn't, then I wouldn't be here." I step closer to him, but he takes off and hangs in a tree above me.

"I told you that my family only drink from animals. But you. Your scent...it's like a drug to me. My own personal of heroin." He climbs down the tree a bit, and I walk over.

"And yet, you hated me on my first day" I remark casually.

"I did. But only for making me want you so badly. I still don't know if I can control myself" he admits, as I climb up the tree.

"I know you can." He looks at me before hopping off the tree and walking to the other side of it. "Dude, you need to stop moving around." I hop off too and follow him.

"I can't read your mind. You have to tell me what you're thinking" Edward says, trapping me between the tree and his arms.

*Zerachiel, don't eveen try to interrupt*

*Wouldn't dream of it. And, fyi, I told ya so~*

"I'm afraid that you'll end up leaving me" I admit. I can't handle people I care about leaving me anymore. First my dad (ok, that doesn't really count since I don't even remember him), my first life mom techinally left me (sorta. At least it felt like it), then my new mom forced me to leave my new dad. I'm sick of losing everyone.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you" Edward admits, placing his ice cold hand over my heart. "So the lion fell in love with the lamb."

"What a stupid lamb" I grin at him, letting him know I'm teasing.

"What a sick, masochistic lion" Edward chuckles.

After a while, Edward took me to a meadow he had found. He told me that he liked to come here and think. We were lying on the ground, when the clouds broke and Edward's face started sparkling.

"I think I'm gonna keep the name Disco Ball" I grin at him. He smirks.

"You know, now I have to come up with a nickname for you" Edward tells me, and I give a mock gasp of horror.

"Oh no! What's the big bad vampire going to call me from now on?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but when I do, you won't like it" He grins back at me, before he grabs something from his pocket, "By the way, you dropped this last night, when those, ahem, lowlifes tried to attack you."

He hands me my taser gun that I dropped and left last night. "Hey, thanks! I kinda need this since Sam and Paul aren't over the whole tazing thing just yet." After mentioning that, he chuckles, finding it hilarious that older, bigger male are scared of me.
