AN: and I be back for the next chapter.

Okay… so this chapter will be a little weird. The first part, the new family's, will take place at the end of the second day. But the Cullen's part will take place on the beginning of the second day. I'll write the little headings at the top of each part for a reminder, but I thought I should let you all know.

Disclaimer: it's on my profile from now on. I'm tired of writing it out…

End of the Second Day

David POV:

It was finally time to get out of the pool. I couldn't even tell you how long we spent in there, but all I knew was it was long enough to make me even start to feel cold. I was lucky we had all changed into a bathing suit's a couple of hours ago or else our clothes would be soaked and I would've been even more uncomfortable.

I climbed up the pool latter, snatched my towel from up off the edge of one of the chairs, and sat down with it wrapped around me. I heard little footsteps make their way over to where I was at. Even thought my hair was wetted down to my forehead and blocking my vision, I didn't need to see who it was. I knew just by the sound of the small feet. Cass.

"Hey, David. My towel's right here… so I'm just gonna grab it …and I'll leave you alone…" she mutter awkwardly.

"No, no. You don't have to go!! " I said quickly. For whatever reason, I wanted now more than ever to be around her.

I saw the odd looks my family were giving me and I added hastily, "I mean, if your stuff is right here, it would be kind of silly to just leave. Why not just stay here?"

We didn't say anymore after that. Cass sat there and dried off her hair while I was left to admire her in the bathing suit she was wearing. It was simple, a one piece, and purple, which brought out her violet eyes that symbolized her still aging. Even if she was only fourteen, the suit managed to show off all her curves with the way that it hugged her small body. The vision of perfection was completed with her long, blonde hair flowing down her back.

She was certainly as beautiful as they come.

Cass POV:

In most instances, a person would be a little freaked out that some one- their brother, no less- was staring at them excessively with a look of pure bliss on their face. When you think of it in human terms, you might even consider them a molester of some sort. But, me: not in the least. I was ecstatic at the sudden attention I was being paid by David. I didn't know what brought it all on, but I didn't want it to stop.

But, alas, it had to. I saw my dad in the corner of the room, beckoning me over with his hand. What did I do?? Had I done something wrong?? Did someone know Esme knew??

Obviously reading my thoughts, he shook his head but still kept signaling me over. I nodded and walked toward where he was standing.

"Hold on for a second and let me go get Esme. This concerns all three of us," dad whispered to me low enough that no one else would over hear. I nodded.

As he walked quietly over to where Esme had been standing and watching the family, I realized what this was about. The other night when I told her our secret. What else could involve all three of us?? Nothing, unless somehow we all got caught by police for being bank robbers… but the odds of the weren't very likely…

Dad walked over with Esme in tow and he motioned for me to follow him out of the room. The three of us traveled through our decorated hallway and up a set of stairs where we came up to the living room. I had a feeling I knew where we were headed and my suspicions were confirmed when we journeyed up those familiar steps to get to my room.

The second my door was opened, Dad ushered the two of us in before closing the door behind him. Esme took her place on my bed once more, I took a seat on my chair by my desk, and Dad chose to remain standing.

"Okay, so I'll be the first to ask it," I started off lamely," why exactly did you make us leave that awesome beach party??"

"because of an idea I had," he responded, " and I couldn't go through with it without your consent."

"Well, what do you have in mind?" Esme asked, her tone filled with complete curiosity.

"I think that we should tell the family that you know our secret. It would be beneficial to everyone if they knew that they didn't have to hide… around you, least."

In all honesty, it wasn't a bad idea. I mean, with Esme knowing, none of us would have to pretend like we were normal around her. We could let our wings lose when it was only us in the room, we could show off speed and strength and not be bound be human limitations. Did this thing really have a down side??

Apparently, No one thought so. I even saw Esme nodding her head fondly, enjoying the option of getting closer with everyone. Dad was obviously in agreement… it was his idea to start with…

"Alright, so when do we do this?? " I questioned after a long moment of silence.

"Tomorrow night as family time ends. That's the point when the cameras leave and we actually have some peace and quiet to talk things through."

The two of us nodded.

"Can we get down to the party again?" I whined, my wanting to see David in his swim suit returning to the fullest.

"Yes, but I think it's pretty much over," was Esme's answer. I could feel my face falling.

"But," she added quickly," we can go downstairs and have some more time together."

I nodded, my hopes quickly returning. Maybe, If I was lucky, David didn't have a chance to change. We had only been up here for a total of five minutes…

"but, remember," My dad warned us," If anyone asks you what went on up here, say we were helping Cass out with a homework assignment."

We all nodded in agreement before heading back down stairs to the family. I couldn't help but wondering how interesting of a day tomorrow will bring…

Cullen Family

The beginning of the second day.

Jasper POV

Emmett and I hopped into his jeep to begin our football lessons for the second day this week. I had to admit, it was actually fun, running around with these humans and playing sports. It was something that we, as a family of vampires, never got to do often. My main concern when this all stared was the sun and if it should decide to peek out on one of our practices. Luckily, the practice was scheduled to be held indoors all week so my brother and I wouldn't have to worry about it.

The two of us rode in silence, not needing to say a word. When we finally arrived at the practice arena (which was only a few minutes later, but because we were used to moving fast, it felt like a lifetime), the two of us hopped out of the car and into the gym locker rooms. Emmet had already made some friends due to his child-like manner, and had quickly introduced me to them- something that I hadn't preferred he did due to the bloodlust. He saw them almost instantly and dragged me over with him.

"Yo!! Em!! Wassup, bro??" a lean - yet fast- guy named Anthony called out as soon as he saw us head over.

"Eh, can't complain, dude!! Life's been good!!" my brother exclaimed back.

Even though I hated the fact that I had to be associated with humans, I had to admire how well my brother blended in with this particular crowd. It seemed as if he had been hanging out with the jock group for years and it certainly was amazing how well he was able to interact with them…

Another boy, Jesse, came up to us a second later. He was also one of Emmett's pals, but looked plenty different from Anthony. For starters, he was much more muscular. Not as fast, but still plenty stronger. And, appearance wise, too. Where Anthony has brown hair, Jesse had blonde. Anthony had green eyes; Jesse had brown.

"Morning, guys! Time for another epic day of practice. You all up for it??" he asked, laughing.

A few of the other guys my brother knew came up to us but didn't say anything. Everyone was silent for the rest of the time in the locker room. However, it didn't last long. Only a few minutes later did the coach call all the players into the gym to begin practice. The human football players cheered and screamed that second, each showing off different levels of adrenaline and excitement. Actually, I couldn't just say the humans. Emmett was just as excited.

I smiled and rolled my eyes. My brother- along with these boys- could be so easily amused. But, I had to admit, as much as I hated having to do this sport, I really was glad to see Emmett involved in something he seemed to be enjoying.

The practice ended early for my brother and I due to an accident at the field. One of the players had football thrown into their face, causing a bloody nose. My control- although improved and not easily as activated as it had been- didn't stand a chance against the powerful of the delicious red liquid. I was practically seeing red and I was so ready to pounce and stop that stream. It would've tasted so good!! But, luckily for me, I had Emmett there. He quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me away, muttering some excuse to the coach about how blood made me sick.

After arriving home, we made sure no humans were around before taking off into the woods for my much needed hunt. I found a decent amount of deer in the woods, quickly snapping each of their necks in a little over a second and drinking them dry. The blood trickling down my throat was just what I needed at the moment.

I heard rustling in the trees next to me. Assuming it was just Emmett, I continued to drink. I stopped once I heard a cough- very feminine in sound- from that spot. I turned around to discover I was only half right. Emmett did stand there, but with Rosalie standing in front of him.

"Sup, bro!!" my curly haired brother boomed, "Enjoy your hunt?? Cause it's over now! My Rosie needs to ask you something!"

I turned my glance to my "twin" sister.

"Could you handle blood well enough to stand to two cuts coming from a humans back?" she questioned. What a weird question.

"What are you planning?" I asked, sensing her anxiety to my answer.

"Doesn't matter. You'll find out soon enough. Just answer the question. Can you or can't you?"

"depends on how big the cut is. If it's fairly small or even medium sized; sure. But, if it's large, then I doubt it. Who's going to get hurt?"

"Good to know. And, again, you'll find out, I promise!! Just be patient, okay?"

Not waiting for an answer to her question, she pounced on Emmett with supernatural speed, attaching her legs around his hips- kissing every open spot on his neck and flesh that she could reach. Rose than tackled him to the ground and began to… well, I wouldn't know after that point. I left the second I heard Emmett hit the ground. It was something I didn't need to see, I'm sure.

I walked back home feeling completely replenished. Although, I couldn't help but wonder about Rosalie's strange question: Can you handle blood well enough to stand two cuts coming from a humans back? what could it mean? was she planning on hurting someone? Well… that much was obvious. But was wasn't was who. Who will get hurt because of my sister? ?

AN: so, we gots some mystery going on now!! Do you want to know what happens?? Well, all will be revealed soon!! But, you gotta review first. Cause I'm not updating till I get at least 155 of 'em!!

So, go on, that little button won't bite… I think…
