A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner! I had a lot of things for school to do. Anyway, thanks again for reviewing! Enjoy!

James called me. I glanced around, but everyone was in the other room.

"Come to the Halloween store, I have your mother. See?" James said creepily. I heard her voice: "BELLA? YOU CALL YOURSELF A DAUGHTER OF MINE? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WILL DISOWN YOU!" Actually, it sounded a lot like those home videos of when she was trying to teach me how to walk.

"Fine!" I said. I couldn't let my mother know the truth about the big, cruel world out there, so I decided to go. I brought along a PB&J sandwich to comfort her.

"Good!" he hung up. I headed to the Halloween store, anticipating rescuing my mother. Again.

Naturally, when I got there, a home video was playing, me learning how to walk.

"So I betrayed Edwardo for nothing?!" I exclaimed. James wasn't playing fair while he was trying to kill me!

"Well, basically. But then again, I think I might be doing him a favor…" James replied.

"Wait… why do you have a video camera?" I said suspiciously.

"I'm filming this and giving it to Edwardo, right after I post it on YouTube. Now tell him to avenge you… and oh yeah, he also owes me 20 bucks," James answered. I was in grave danger… eh, what else was new?

"Wow, you smell really good… floral, somehow," James commented. At least he was being nice while trying to kill me.

"I know," I agreed. James slammed me against the wall abruptly, and I blacked out conveniently.

I felt pain in my wrist. Also, I was really, really thirsty. Blood Lite sounded pretty good right now.

Edwardo was busy staring at my wrist.

"So… delicious…" he murmured.

"Edwardo, you must suck out the blood and be the heroic love interest. I can't help because it wouldn't be as romantic that way. Sure, I'd be less likely to kill her, so maybe I should do it- actually, never mind, definitely you," Carlisle told him. Edwardo gasped dramatically.

"But… what if I can't stop?! She smells like freesias and Mary Sue, how could I resist?!" Edwardo cried.

"Oh, just do it, Edwardo. Before she actually becomes a vampire," Alice urged him. Wait. What? I actually wanted to be a vampire!

"Wait, Edwardo, don't- damn it," I started. Edwardo was already sucking the venom out. He kept drinking my blood.

"Can't… stop… but I love Bella! No, I love her blood more! No, I love her! But…" he kept arguing with himself. Finally, Alice had to pull him off me before he drank all of my blood.

"But… Alice, it's dinnertime!" Edwardo whined. I blacked out again.

When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Thank god, Edwardo was here! And, oh yeah, my mom was here too. That's good, I guess.

"What did you tell Renee?" I asked. Edwardo shrugged.

"I just told her you fell down the stairs and out a window. I'm sure that won't seem suspicious at all." So he told her what happens in a typical day.

"Did I taste good?" I asked. Edwardo sighed.

"Well, yeah. I mean, the main reason I like you is because your blood smells good, so this was even better. If we could come up with an arrangement, like, say, I get to drink a couple ounces of blood every few weeks…?" Edwardo explained.

"I'd rather become a vampire," I said back. Edwardo gasped.

"Bella, NO! You wouldn't smell as good! There wouldn't be any reason to be with you!" he cried.

"Well, I'm glad you're handsome," I muttered. Then again, handsome was too low an adjective to describe him. It was more like, rock-like, Apollo-like, god of the vampires, vampire-y beautiful… never mind, mere words didn't help.

"APOLOGIZE FOR NEARLY DYING BECAUSE OF ME!" Edwardo suddenly yelled. Now I felt terrible… what would everyone on this planet have done with themselves if I died?!

"Sorry for nearly dying against my will," I apologized.

Renee came in, and Edwardo promptly pretended to be asleep.

"Hi, Bella! Do you want to come to Phoenix now?"

"NO!" I screeched, "I actually want to live in Knives, the town I've always hated." Renee shrugged.

"Oh, thank god," she smiled. Poor Mom, without her only child. At least she had Will, "So is it because of the boy? Honestly, do I even need to ask?"

"Of course. He's my life. Which is sort of depressing now that I think about it."

"That's nice, hon. Did you know there's been a crime in the neighborhood? Some punks burnt the Halloween store to the ground. They even left a vampire's remains there! And strangely enough, our home videos…" Mom said. I shuddered.

"Go away, Mom. Edwardo and I need some quality alone time," I said.

"Hm… fine. I was going to go and try to salvage some costumes from the wreckage anyway!" Renee called as she left. Edwardo "woke up".

"Bella… 'He's my life now'? Pfft, you can do better than that. I mean, she's gonna think it's just some silly crush! I want to spend eternity with you! ANYTHING OTHER THAN BEING WITH YOU!" Edwardo ranted, "you'll see…" I agreed, but my mom would've been suspicious of that. After all, Charles had been her first boyfriend, and they hadn't worked out.

Then again, Charles wasn't a hot vampire.
