Imagine being a vampire and still being broke after 200-300 hundred years. At that point. Just slime yourself.

On the one hand: thank you for the chapter beloved author of ours

On the other: a cliffhanger! You can't escape me Authooor! I'll chase you to the ends of the earth! (To the tune of Spider-Man and Shocker)

"Yeah… I guess I have to now. I didn't really want to have this conversation… and I didn't want you to see those either." Alice replied softly after a moment of silence that felt longer than it had any right to be.

"Yeah… I'd appreciate knowing why you have those… uh cool paintings just a bit.. Weird don't you think?" Alan asked as he turned his head slightly to gaze at that one particular painting once more before turning his head to gaze back towards Alice once more.

The woman before him looked different than usual, maybe it was because of how much had happened today, neither of them were exactly in the right state of mind, neither Alan and neither Alice. One had just had his house completely ruined and then had to come live with literal vampires and then proceeded to find paintings of the person he had slowly started to trust literally eating people.

Whilst the other had just had to fight her family to keep said person that had lost his home here, had to fight the people who were her family and loved her so that she could keep the one she wanted safe and sound.

"Should we stop pretending Alan?" Alice asked softly, her voice more gentle than Alan had ever heard it before, it was barely a whisper and Alan doubted that he would have even heard it if he had been fully human as he had been.

"Stop… pretending?" Alan asked softly, equally as soft as Alice had been just now, though it was more that he was shocked she wasn't trying to make an excuse rather than the fact that he wanted to reply to her gently.

His thoughts were in complete and utter disarray, he hadn't expected that today would be the day that the masks would be finally falling down, though he had known that the mask and cover wouldn't be kept for much longer, a lot of stuff had already happened and his own actions hadn't exactly been hidden perfectly and neither had the actions of Edward Cullen who had straight up simply ousted himself in front of everyone simply to save a single human girl from her death.

'What… what do I do? No matter what, I must keep the system a secret, I just have to tell her that I awakened my powers slowly and normally, I dont have to mention the system in any way at all, so thats fine. It's not that hard, just make up a lie about not knowing, the less information that i give, the more i pretend that I dont actually know anything about my powers, the easier the lie will be to believe, I dont have to form some kind of complicated lie. I can simply tell her that I don't know whats going on with me at all, and in a way… it wouldn't even be a complete lie. I don't really know what the system really even is in the first place.' Alan thought to himself, his thoughts moving at speeds faster than they ever had before as he found a way to get out of his situation without having to face the death penalty that the system had enforced upon him.

"Yeah Alan… we both know that things aren't really exactly… normal don't we? You have your own secrets and I have mine, and I… you don't need to tell me yours, that's okay though I would appreciate it if you did. But… I can't really hide my own secrets after this or you could just y'know pretend that you saw nothing?" Alice said softly, as she turned her body fully so that she was facing Alan completely as she looked towards him, her eyes were a light amber colour, nowhere near dark, for a second it almost looked like they were glistening with tears though a split second later, they appeared completely normal once more.

Alice's own mind was filled with dozens of thoughts, thoughts that were entangled with fear, fear that the one person she wanted to keep safe, the one person that she wanted to keep close to herself would reject her being, would reject what she was and most of all… that he would be afraid of her. And that last thought, it was the most prevalent one, in her mind… there really was no other way that this could end, afterall she knew what she was. She knew what her kind were known for.

"I… I don't know exactly about myself, but I can tell you what I know, as little as I do, if you want to share your own first." Alan replied, as he shook his head before releasing a slow long winded sigh that carried through both his exhaustion of the situations that had happened today aswell as the exhaustion of the secret that he had been unable to share with anyone, even now he wouldn't be able to tell everything but still… he could tell a part of it and hope that the system wouldnt penalise him for it.

Alice sat silent for a moment, her gaze fixed onto his own eyes and after a long moment, that felt longer than it had any right to be, her lips finally parted as she spoke once again.

"I'm a vampire." Alice said simply, with a voice so soft that it was practically a whisper, and yet the way she said it clearly carried through the meaning that this was not a joke, that this wasn't something she was making up. She said it simply, as a fact, because that was what it was. A fact, a secret spoken aloud to the one person she was most afraid of hearing it.

Finally! This is a pretty good reveal. He doesn't even need a good reason for his transformation. Just call it his second puberty lmao.

I don't know if he is nerdy enough to know this D&D reference. But he could say that he is a fey rather than an elf. But he doesn't fear cold iron. But at the same time, neither do vampires burn in the sun. So whatever.

But what I know is. It's impossible for his system to get revealed. Twilight is too early to have any sort of good computing or any story about it, and any that are are speculative fictions about AGI taking over. So unless there is an ass pull. He is not getting revealed.

Click to shrink...

At long last, the moment has come. Alan is finally gonna learn the vampires he so much feared are vegetarians. I have been waiting for this for so long and I'm glad it has come this way. They both knew something was up and the mask and pretending had to end at some point.

I am curious to see just how much has the world been expanded upon. Are elfs a thing in this or some system shenanigan? Can't wait to read more, thanks for the chapter!

Again, on the one hand: FINALLY!!!! That's the reveal! Hallelujah!
On the other hand:NOOOOoooo....! You could've milked the drama so much more! Soap Opera Style!

Anyway, thanks for the chapter! This is gonna be good!
