A/N: Sorry the story had been so slow! But I promise I'll speed it up once the Cullens and Jacob had discovered ALL the mystical creatures in Harvard. Oh! And reviews will be appreciated since I am doing this to improve my writing skills. P.S. Reviews would be nice. And although I did say I won't pressure you people about it, I'm afraid I'll have to go back on it if I don't have at least 5 reviews. You can review via PM as well.

Last time in Dangers of a College Life:
The whole family had found out about the griffin. The group had to disperse to go to their classes. Bella's teacher Mr Centoris had asked her to give a brief summary of Romeo. She had answered perfectly but Bella was bored so she had extended her shield only to find that Mr Centoris was in fact a centaur! Hmm... I wonder if there are any other mythical creatures around.
And that was what happened last time in Dangers of a College Life.
EPOV
I jogged over to the cafeteria where I know my darling Bella was waiting for me and our family.
Edward! Where are you! I was shocked to hear Bella's thoughts in my mind. Although I sometimes got a peek into her mind, it still shocked me every time. I guess having a wife with a mind that's mute to you does that. Hurry up! The rest of the family's already here and I want to share some news when all of you are here. And with that, her mind was mute again.
I sprinted (at human speed of course) to the covered area of the cafeteria where my family awaits.
"Good you're finally here!" Bella snapped impatiently at me. I was taken aback. Bella was hardly ever agitated and even rarer, she snapped at me! Whatever she wanted to tell us must be bothering her. "Right well, you guys know how I've got English Literature? Well my teacher, Mr Centoris is a centaur," she stopped for effect and to let everyone take in what had just been told to them.
"A centaur? Well I'm not surprised because of the others I've found today," my family looked shocked at this latest piece of information. "(A/N: Sorry but all the mythological creatures can be viewed from my profile) The security guard, Mr Sebrius, is a Cerberus. And the swimming coach, the one who always take people out to the ocean, Ms Cardinal, is a Charybdis. Mr Chimes, is a Chimera. Ms Ecid, is an Echidna-" I was interrupted by Emmett who was confused at that statement because he hardly studied Greek Mythology.
"Wait, so you mean she is an Australian animal with spikes on her back?" Emmett asked, definitely confused.
"No Emmett, she is a mythological Echidna. She has the head and torso of a woman and the body of a serpent," I explained a bit exasperated. "Anyway, then there's Mr Harpie who's a Harpy and then there's the Gods. Headmistress, Mrs Zuse is Hera and the vice headmaster and mistress is Mr Zuse – Zeus - and Ms Artine - Artemis," I said all that in one breath but everyone understood and was staring at me with wide eyes.
"Unbelievable! We have to tell Carlisle and Esme," Rosalie was the first to break the silence but I wasn't even looking at her. I was staring intently on my Bella to see how she reacts.
"No Rose, I believe we're settle this on our own. Besides, we don't want to disturb him and Esme whilst they're on Honeymoon. I suggest we go introduce ourselves," Bella said calmly yet in a turn that I didn't recognize. It was a tone of firm, authority.
"But, but-" Rose tried to argue but was just cut short by Bella who still insists on going to the Headmistress' office.
We're now standing in front of the office with Bella knocking on the door.
"Come in!" a sing-song voice, which I presumed would be the headmistress' came through. We shuffled into her office and I was amazed by Bella's courage. Where had it come from? I then noticed Jasper staring intently at my wife. I decided to have a peek into his mind.
There was the answer! Jasper had been, at first, giving everyone courage which was why Bella spoke up. Then when he found her plan was a good one, he decided to let go of all of us and just focus on Bella. I knew there was a reason my wife wasn't behaving like her usual, shy self.
Bella then began introducing us to Hera a.k.a. Mrs Zuse.
"Yes, yes the Cullens, Hales and Black. What do you want?" Hera asked rudely, obviously she's been used to getting her own way.
But Bella took immediate offence and I could feel her temper rearing up through Jasper. "Look lady, we know who you are and every one of your subjects, Hera," Bella snarled in a very un-Bella style. "We know all your real identities and we know what you all can do.-" OK now she's just bluffing, "-All we wanted was a chance to say hello and introduce yourself but since you insist on being the egotistic Goddess you are, we will not be telling you how we know and maybe we'll spread the word throughout the school," Bella then turned away from a very shocked queen of the Gods.
"Look, mortals. I don't know how you know our secret, but you are to not spread it around OK?" Hera glared at Bella in a way which I don't like. I narrowed my eyes at her and pried into her thoughts.
I gasped when I realised what she's capable of doing to us if we were to cross her. I whipped around to glare at Jasper, silently pleading him to stop using his power on Bella. But, of course, he didn't see my glare and Bella, who was still in this state of over-confidence, ploughed right ahead to insult Hera even further.
"Lady, we know you don't want anyone finding out, so that's why we're offering a peace treaty between the two of us. But first, you might want to call upon your minions for a meeting in somewhere secluded, away from the prying mortals," Bella glared at her.
We walked to the meadow, following Hera. She stopped in front of a large clearing, gesturing for us to go before her.
The meadow was filled with people Bella and I mentioned before. There was Ms Griffola, Mr Centoris, Mr Sebrius, Ms Cardinal, Mr. Chimes, Ms Ecid, Mr Harpie, Mr Zuse, Ms Artine and of course, Mgrs. Zuse and my family. I wound my arms around Bella, ready to defend her just in case one of them decides to get feral.
"Alright everyone, may I please claim your attention?" Hera clapped her hands together and immediately all the 'adults' turned away from their conversations and onto Hera. "These students here had apparently figured out our secret and would like to share how they figured it out." After her speech, Hera turned her head expectantly at Bella.
Oh no, what had I gotten myself into? I can't do this alone. Edward! Help! Bella screamed in her mind for me. I gave her a reassuring smile and squeezed her hand.
"Yes, my wife," I emphasized the word wife only to get startled gasps from the large group in front of me. "Found Mr Centoris and I found the rest of you. And we know because we're 'mythical creatures' as well. My family and I are vampires, Jacob Black is a shape-shifter and Renesmee is a vampire hybrid." I gestured to the members of my family and didn't see the facial expression of our audience. It was only when Bella took my hand and tugged it forwards that I saw them.
Our audience were sitting there with their jaws to the grounds and their eyes were as wide as a continent.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Mr Cullen and Mrs Cullen and the rest of you," Hera seemed to regain herself and her royal pose but to only bow down in front of us - well most of us excluding Nessie and Jacob. Everyone shot me confused looks and I let myself invade the mind of our audience.
Impossible. Vampires are meant to be extinct. But... how did they know about us? Oh well. Hera seemed to know believe them. So I guess we'll have to too. Ms Cardinal though hesitantly.
Even if they are vampires, how did they find out about us? Mr Sebrius wondered suspiciously.
Hmm...they must really know what we are or they wouldn't tell us their secret. Zeus thought.
"Well I see that some of you still have your doubts so... why don't you let us prove it to you. Edward?" Bella started after five minutes of silence.
I cleared my throat. "O...K... Well I know that..." I told them of our knowledge of their secret. When I had finished, I could hear no more doubts in their thoughts. I smiled down to Bella and squeezed her hand, an act I usually did out of nervousness. Bella seemed shocked that I was nervous and immediately rubbed her hand up my arm. I sighed in contentment.
Dudes! You two just can't keep your hands off each other could you? Emmett knew that Bella could hear and when we both turned our heads simultaneously to glare at him, he was just trying horribly to restrain the smirk. I growled at him and Zeus immediately raised his head to stare at me in alarm.
"We promise no harm to you. Now we must be going as we have classes to attend to," Jasper cut through the tension between the two parties and ushered us away.
A/N: Sorry for the amount of dialogue in this chapter but it's the only way of getting straight to the point. Oh and pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaase give me some reviews or I will have to withdraw my promise and not post the next chapter until I got at least 5 reviews. Sorry! Hexa Deville :(
