March - Fact or fiction
Most humans wouldn't recognize a true vampire if they came across one in passing. Something that is proven true every single day that we stay here in Forks or some other city undetected. I work with my other collegues and patients every day. My children go to school and pass as teenagers on a daily basis. Humans are accustomed to the portrayal of vampires on screen or what they have read about them in a work of fiction. While some of the stories have some truth to them, most of them are false.
However, the myths about our kind is what help keep my family and myself hidden. If human expect a savage creature to come out only during the night and sleep in a coffin during the day, then what does that mean when they happen to come across one of us?
The truth is, most human wouldn't believe any of us were vampires if we told them outright. With all the stories, legends, and movies made about our kind, they like for that story to be nothing but just that. A story. A work of fiction designed to provide entertainment.
We're hardly works of ficiton, but it still begs the question of how long we will truly be able to keep our identities secret in a town like Forks. I hardly expect for us to be able to stay here for many more years, but we still take advantage of the location while we can.
