The Four Days a Year Story

&nbsp When Victoria began to create her newborns, she wanted to keep them loyal to her, and so she made up a series of lies. One was that the sun kills vampires. She had Riley tell them these lies, but when she had to get the newborns to fight the Yellow Eyes (Cullens) during the day, she needed another lie.

She came up with one for Riley-the sun will not cause vampires to burst into flames for four days a year. On the day of the Battle at the Clearing, the sun supposedly did not destroy vampires. When Doug, Adam, and Diego found that the sun did not kill them, they told Riley, who took them to Victoria to be killed so that the secret would remain safe.
