A/N: Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I last updated this story. It means that I won't be updating Facing the Past.

"I don't need your help," I protested. It wasn't that I didn't need their help. It's just that I would rather die than seek help from a vampire.

"Thank you," Jacob said.

The vampire in question came to free Jacob and I. Later on, I discovered that he wasn't working alone. He had a team with him. They belonged to the famous Cullen coven-the coven known to work on human rights. They were famous for distracting the vampires, talking to them and offering them the alternative instead. They were advocates of blood donations rather than draining the humans and killing them.

The Cullens were known to disturb other vampires and offering them the alternative instead-10 pints of donated blood. They work in a group. Usually, they talked to the vampires the benefit of not killing your food source-the difference between drinking cow's milk rather than eating the beef. Meanwhile, they free whoever the vampires had chosen to be their prey for the day by trading with the vampires in question-usually in the form of money. This would be easy for them to do. They had actual jobs that fit in the human world.

The Cullens were considered "omnivores"-they drink the blood donation and supplement their diets with killing off large preys like bears and actual wolves. From what they said, they pay humans generously for one pint of blood and would only take them every three months.

While they weren't killing any humans, I still don't approve of their methods. They were treating us humans like farm animals.

"How did you find us?" Jacob asked.

"We were tracking one of our donors when we caught your scent. I created a distraction and Carlisle traded you for some generous amounts of cash," the male vampire said.

Carlisle was the face of the Cullen coven. Everybody knew the blond vampire from interviews and television appearances.

"Your donors?" Jacob asked.

"Yes. Her name is Jessica Stanley," Edward answered.

In that moment, my eyes went dark. My fist balled up and hit toward Edward. I felt someone held me on my arms.

"Calm down, Tiger," Jacob said while he was holding me.

"It's okay. I'm not going to get hurt," Edward pointed out.

"I'm not worried about you. I'm worried that she'll break her arms. She's Jessica's best friend," Jacob replied.

Jacob tried to hold me while he told Edward what happened. It took me a few minutes to calm down. When I finally had gotten to my senses, everything finally made sense.

Jessica could buy the latest phone. Jessica treating me shopping. She even wanted to buy a car but I told her not to. She decided to put it on a time account instead. It never occurred to me to ask where she was getting her money. I thought she was selling drugs but didn't want to tell me. It didn't occur to me that she was donating blood to the Cullens.

"Jessica's dead. Vampires killed her during the Vampire Hour," I said.

Edward punched the wall and it felt like there was a huge earthquake. A huge part of the wall got destroyed.

"Let's get out of here before I do more damage," Edward said.

Edward was in front of me and Jacob was behind me as we left the burrow. Once we were out, Jacob and Edward shook hands. Carlisle was talking to another blonde vampire who took us.

Edward gave cash to the vampire. "This is for destroying your wall. I'm so sorry about it," he said.

The vampire shook his head. "It was nothing. You're fighting against your nature doing what you're doing. Thanks for the money. You can do business with me anytime but I won't change my ways," he said.

Edward, Carlisle, and two other vampires came with us. One was another blond while the other one was petite. He brought us to the midsized Volvo SUV.

"Would you like to ride?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes. Thank you," Jacob answered for us.

"Jacob, can we talk in private?" I asked.

"Sure," he said. He led us away from the vampires.

It didn't really matter since they could hear us. They had excellent hearing. However, I still wanted to feel normal and talking to my godbrother way from the predators count as such.

"Are you crazy? I'd rather not go with them," I told him.

"They saved us."

"We're vampire hunters," I pointed out.

"And we can take care of ourselves if they're ever out of line," he answered back.

He put his arms around me. "These vampires choose not to kill humans. How about we take their kindness for now and go back to the city? We can get back when you're calm and had gotten your rest."

Jacob led us back to the bloodsuckers.

Carlisle and Edward led us to their SUV. Carlisle was the driver and Edward called shotgun. Jacob and I sat in the middle row and the woman named Alice sat next to the man named Jasper at the back row. I hated being trapped in the middle surrounded by these leeches.

Each minute in the car felt like an hour. Eventually, we made it to our headquarters. Jacob exchanged information with Carlisle. It seemed that he had gained a new ally today. Meanwhile, I couldn't wrap my mind about my situation. Vampires saved my life even though I was trying to hunt their kind.

Closing notes: What do you think about my take on the Cullen coven? Stephenie Meyer made them "vegetarian" vampires. However, we should consider that they didn't know that vampires exist in that world. In my AU version, they know that vampires exist, hence the blood donation thing.

In addition, Stephenie Meyer created vampires that fought against their nature. My vampires do fight against killing humans but they don't deny that they were designed to drink human blood. That being said, they needed a way to drink human life in a way that allow them to drink human blood without killing them. Human blood is good for them. However, they shouldn't kill human beings doing that.

In terms of alcohol analogy, Stephenie Meyer's vampires couldn't get one drop of alcohol at all. On the other hand, my vampires could and drink alcohol as long as they don't get drunk.
