So this chapter's short, but it explores some things I've been thinking. Read the A/N at the bottom afterwards for more :) I hope you like it

ACE

Kim was pretty pissed off, and I wasn't sure why. What did she have to be all pissy about, my personal life was just that, my personal life. I scoffed.

"Yeah, I did."

Her eyes widened and I just rolled mine.

"And at the moment I'm pretty pissed no one told me about all these 'changes' I'm supposed to expect."

Her face fell and I could tell that some long explanation was comming, her mouth opened and I raised my hand.

"You know what...never mind. I'll find out later. Thank you for telling me your story, it's means a lot."

My voice lowered

"Really, but I'm gonna go. I'll talk to you later."

"Ace-"

I just shook my head.

"No. Just let me think about this for a while...ok?"

She just nodded her head.

I started out the front door, and inspiration hit me. I ran back in the house.

"Hey Kim...can I borrow your car?"

She looked wary

"Ace...I don't know if Paul would-"

"Fuck him!"

I was suprised at how loud my voice was.

"Ok yeah... I already did."

I giggled at my cleverness

"But he doesn't own me, and I wanna go to the mall."

She looked like she disapproved, so I decided to go another rout.

"Please Kim...I really need to get away from here for a while...I'll be careful."

Bingo! The big puppy dog eye trick worked. She just nodded and sighed.

"Just please Ace...don't get yourself hurt."

I grinned

"Oh I can take care of myself."

I knew that Paul would be really pissed when he found out...but I was over his over-dramaticism. I stepped on the gas a little more and sighed...I was really getting sick of all this drearyness. This was one of the rare days that the sun was shining, and I was taking advantage of this whole 'no vampire' day. As I arrived at the Port Angeles mall, I slowed and pulled into a spot in the back.

I got out of the truck, slamming the door on the way, and started inside. As I made my way towards the back, where all my favorite stores usually were, I was stopped in my tracks. There, in one of the many bridal shops, was Bella. Bella and two girls, who were undeniably vamps. I was shocked. I didn't know vampires could be out at all in the sunlight. The little one with the black hair was wearing a scarf, long sleeves, thick sunglasses, and gloves. The larger blond was attired similarly.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do. Should I approach them, run the other way. Then, I remembered something I heard the pack say. The little one saw the future, that was how the Cullen's got all their money through the stock market and shit, maybe she saw me coming. As if reading my thoughts, she turned towards me. A pretty smile lit up her face and she squealed and motioned me over.

I almost just left on the spot, but there was some sick curiosity that came over me that I just couldn't deny. I walked over, slowly, towards the group. Bella just stood there looking pathetic, like always, and the blond one glared at me. I just rolled my eyes...what crawled up her butt and died?

"Hi! My name's Alice!"

"Um...nice to meet you?"

The blonde one just glared a little more, and Bella just shrank into herself.

"I see that you're...busy. So, I'll just be going."

I turned to leave when the little one's voice rang out again.

"Wait!"

I turned back. She looked a little abashed.

"I wanted to apologize for my brother. We- my family - We're not usually like that. Edward's just really protective over Bella."

I glanced over towards Bella, Yeah, I would be to if I had any affection for her. She was a tiny, quivering, useless user. I just scoffed.

"Hey, I'm not gonna sterotype all vamps cuz of him. I'm sure that some of you are decent, but you're all leaches."

She flinched. When she spoke, her voice was harder.

"At least we don't feed off of people."

I scoffed again, I guess they just brought that out in me.

"But don't you! You have had years that you could work hard, that you could do things for the world. But instead, you sit around leaching off the hard work of American citizens. Stealing our money just because you can see the future of the stock market!"

My voice was raising and people were staring, but I didn't give a damn. I lowered my voice to a hiss.

"Besides your doctor daddy, who in your family helps anyone? You sit around with your fancy life of travel and luxury and fancy cars and play, while hardworking people pay for your lifestyle. You do nothing for anyone even though you have all the resources in the world. What's your excuse for that sweetheart?"

I saw her chin begin to tremble and heard the blond one begin to growl. Bella just stood with that SAME FUCKING EXPRESSION SHE ALWAYS WORE that I assume was supposed to look angry.

"I guess one of my many talents seems to be pissing off vamps, but just remember. The wolves are dirt poor, most of them are teenagers, and they live like shit. But they spent all their time protecting and defending people. What do you do...hide."

I knew if I stayed any longer I was gonna get into trouble, and I had promised Kim that I wouldn't. Without another word I just walked off.

So Yes, I know that it's a short chapter, and I"m sorry, but the concept just occured to me that the Cullen's ARE feeding off of people. I mean, having one doctor in a family that big wouldn't account for that much money, and it's mentioned several times that the reason for most of the Cullen's wealth is Alice's ability to see the rise and decline of the stock market. Doesn't that just piss you off! I mean, they act all righteous and nobel, but for all they could be doing, what is it they do? Go to high school and sit around with pissy attitudes? But really, all they do is steal from people and make our bad economy even worse. Yup that was my angry Cullen thought for the day. :)
