A/N: Hello, everyone! Sorry for the late update. I've been busy with the tax season and Holy Week on its climax. In addition, I started my Scentsy business. Anyway, if I haven't said this, I alternate between The Vampire Hour and Facing the Past. If I update one, I don't update the other. I've neglected this story for too long. Anyway, I'm halfway done with that story so I'll be able to update more often as soon as that one ends.

Jacob said that the Cullens had done their best to help. They had not killed anyone yet it was in their nature to hunt and kill human beings. I think it was baloney. They were still using humans as their food source albeit not killing them. Humans were still being used. The only difference was that our kind was getting paid for it.

Jacob said it was no different than harvesting one's eggs and getting compensated for it. It was something I disliked even though it was completely legal. Some called it a good way to make money. I called it using your body to earn a living. They were in the same level as prostitutes. They were using their body in order to entice people to give them money.

That morning, I went to class. Vampire hunting had finally taken a toll on me, hence I tried going to college to distract myself from vampire hunting. It was like Bruce Wayne having a playboy billionaire persona during the day and being Batman by night.

I was surprised to find Rosalie teaching. Her beauty distracted the entire male population while creating envy among us women despite her trying to put on glasses and wear dated clothing. Having her around caused me to fear. She could drink blood from among the students and people would wholeheartedly agree. Such was the draw of the vampire.

I made sure to study Rosalie. She wasn't trying doing anything out of the ordinary. She was just teaching us how to do Calculus problems. Most of us were mesmerized with the way she talked. She reminded me of a lure-someone who was drawing people to her so that she and the other vampires could feed on them.

I knew for a fact that Rosalie had not killed anyone. Among all of the vampires, it was her that I could relate to the most. She had not have a drop of human blood in her. She was a strict animal blood drinker giving her the amber eyes.

"That's all for the day. Class dismissed," she said after making sure that we knew about our homework.

Everybody tried to hurry up. On the other hand, I took my time, wondering how many ways I could incapacitate her if the situations account for it. By no means was she an easy target. No vampire are.

"Bella, can you hold on for a second?" Rosalie asked.

I walked up to Rosalie.

"I don't like you, you don't like me. Don't you agree?" she asked.

I nodded. Frankly, I was biased. How a vampire could teach in school is beyond me. That was like being alcoholic working at a wine shop.

"That might've crossed my mind. I really hate vampires," I said.

"However, our own personal issues shouldn't affect us academically. What you do in the classroom would be based solely on your effort with regards to my class. Is that fair?" she asked.

"Yes."

"That's all. You can go," Rosalie said.

With my belongings, I went to my next class.

Things went uneventful that day. I've heard something about giving blood to the Cullens and earning quite a bit of money from it. If I had no qualms selling my body parts for money, I would do it. They certainly pay a lot. Enough to pay a month's rent with plenty of leftovers. If anyone was short on cash because they lost their jobs, it would be something people could use.

That weekend, Jacob and I went on a hunt together. Sam wanted to come too but Jacob told him that we could handle it. I was glad. I wasn't really fond of Sam. He's too controlling over his girlfriend Leah who happens to be another best friend of mine. I wished that she would dump him.

Jacob and I were trying to find a vampire lair. It was impossible as most of them hid themselves from the people when it wasn't the Vampire Hour. They were usually in the caves. We heard one in the tunnel somewhere near the national park but when we got there, we didn't find any. It seemed that the vampires have left.

That was when we heard a loud roar.

"Get out of the way!" someone shouted.

Before I could react, I was caught off guard as the bear headed toward my direction. I couldn't move as I was frozen in fear. Then, I felt a boulder came at me. I braced for the impact as I readied myself to hit the ground but that didn't happen. Instead, I found myself being carried by strong arms.

It took me a few seconds to react. Emmett now had the bear on his grip. Meanwhile, I looked to see my copper head of a savior. I was staring at his black eyes, full of wrath.

"Are you always trying to get yourself killed?" my savior asked.

"As a matter of fact, no!" It seems like I always get myself into trouble everytime you're around.

"On the contrary, if we weren't there on those occasions, you would've found yourself in a coffin. Emmett just found the bear when it moved toward your direction. Are you really that stupid?" Edward asked.

"Quite the contrary. I was valedictorian in high school," I said.

"Thank you again for saving us. Forgive my godsister for being an ingrate," Jacob said to step in.

"You're welcome. Don't ever look for trouble or we might not be around to save you next time," Edward said.

When they turned around and left, I gave them a middle finger salute.

"Bella!" Jacob chastised.

"What?"

"This is the second time they saved us already. And you're going to do that?" Jacob told me. My godbrother was always grateful whenever people tried to do kind things for him. As for me, as long as he's not a vampire, I'd be willing to accept gratitude.

I hoped to never see the Cullens again. Especially Edward. There was something infuriating with that man. It was too bad as well. All vampires were good-looking but he was ethereal.

End Notes: So, how do you feel about Bella and Jacob finding themselves in the middle of the Cullen hunt? I think it's dangerous for both of them. It's a good thing the Cullens had more control than usual as they're also considered food source.
